‘Why is this King of Youshan acting like a hooligan?’

Yu Yunxi truly doubted everyone’s judgment of the King of Youshan at this moment. She gritted her teeth before she finally pushed his shoulders hard, pushing him to his feet.

Yu Yunxi’s dress was already stained with his blood at this time. Fortunately, she was still wearing the red dancing dress so it was not too obvious. She should have been angry, but for some reason, when she saw how miserable he was, her heart inexplicably softened.

‘Forget it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend…’ Yu Yunxi comforted herself inwardly before she leaned over and said to Feng Yili flatly, “Don’t move around.”

Yu Yunxi quickly pressed a few of Feng Yili’s acupoints to stop his bleeding as much as she could. She looked at the bloody wound and frowned deeply.

‘We were in the palace. Who had the ability to injure the King of Youshan? Wait, the wound looks… self-inflicted…

Yu Yunxi shook her head, quickly dismissing that thought. She did not think it was possible for anyone to deliberately injure themselves to this extent.

After she suppressed her emotions, she looked up at Feng Yili. His eyes were beautiful; they seemed like the vast ocean, capable of drowning people. After a moment, she asked in a low voice, “How did you get injured?”

“There are too many people in the capital who want me dead. I’m being attacked from all sides. Eldest Princess, are you worried about being implicated by me?” Feng Yili asked faintly.

“Yes. So can you stay away from me?” Yu Yunxi retorted.

The corners of Feng Yili’s curled up slightly as he replied nonchalantly, “Of course not.”

Yu Yunxi:

‘I should have expected this… I really don’t know what he’s planning. I’m sure he’s not here to seek treatment. Forget it. I have nothing worth scheming for.

Having an ally is better than having one more enemy…’

Soon after, Meng Xia returned with the medicine.

“When you went to get the medicine from the imperial hospital, did you expose your identity?” Yu Yunxi asked solemnly. She needed a lot of medicine to treat Feng Yili’s serious injury. It would be troublesome if someone found out about it.

“Eldest Princess, don’t worry. I pretended to be a palace maid when I got the medicine,” Meng Xia quickly replied.

“That’s good.”

Yu Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief before she returned to the carriage. As the carriage drove to the palace gate, she said, “Your injury is too serious. I’ll need to stitch it up…

Yu Yunxi was slightly surprised by her own words. Her medical knowledge surfaced in her mind at this moment. However, she still could not remember people and things from the past.

Seeing how silent Feng Yili was, she thought that Feng Yili was shocked by her words. She said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. Although it sounds shocking, it’s very effective. Leave co me.

“I wasn’t worried,” Feng Yili said lightly.

“Hmm?”

“In the past, someone also stitched up my wounds…” Feng Yili said hoarsely with a nostalgic expression on his face.

Yu Yunxi was slightly dazed when he saw such an emotion on Feng Yili’s face. She thought about it for a moment and could not help but ask, “It seems like you’re feeling nostalgic. Who… who is that person?”

From what she knew, the method of stitching up wounds was only recorded in her mother’s medical journals. Although the imperial doctors were impressed by this method, they did not dare to try it.

‘Who’s so bold as to stitch up the King of Youshan’s wounds?’

Seeing that the other party did not intend to answer her, she could only suppress her curiosity and stitch him up seriously. When she saw how nimble and swift her hands moved, she was amazed. She must have stitched up a lot of wounds before she lost her memory. She really wanted to regain her memory; she yearned to find out what kind of person she was in the past.

When she was done with the last stitch, Yu Yunxi’s hands were already stained with blood.

Feng Yili’s lips were extremely pale due to the blood loss. A thin layer of sweat could be seen on his forehead. After all, he had been enduring the pain for so long.

Yu Yunxi knew that he was in a lot of pain, but he did not make a sound at all.

‘He’s really not a simple person…

Suddenly, a palace guard’s voice rang from outside.

“Wait a minute. Who’s in the carriage?”

“How dare you! Can’t you see that this is the Eldest Princess’ carriage?” Meng Xia said unhappily.

“As it turns out, it’s the Eldest Princess. I was blind,” the palace guard said nervously.

Word of what happened during the banquet had long spread in the palace. Many people knew that the Eldest Princess, who had just returned, was ruthless. Most importantly, she had the support of the Emperor Emeritus.

The palace continued to say nervously, “Eldest Princess, I don’t mean to offend you. However, an assassin snuck into the palace and tried to assassinate the Crown Prince earlier. Everyone in the palace is searching for the assassin now.

“Don’t tell me you think the Eldest Princess is hiding an assassin? Or do you think the Eldest Princess is the assassin?” Meng Xia asked sharply, furious.

The palace guards were frightened when they heard this.

“H-his Majesty has ordered for all carriages leaving the palace to be searched.

This is His Majesty’s order. We, we…”

Yu Yunxi, who was listening, looked outside coldly as she said, “Search the carriage then. However, if you can’t find anything, I’ll definitely report you to the Emperor Emeritus tomorrow.”

Her voice was very authoritative when she spoke.

The faces of the palace guards paled when they heard those words.

“Eldest Princess, I’ve offended you. How could you have an assassin in your carriage? I only stopped you because I was worried that the assassin would hurt you,” one of the palace guards said apologetically.

Following that, they quickly opened the palace gate.

After the carriage left the palace, Yu Yunxi finally relaxed. Then, she turned to look at Feng Yili sharply and asked, “You tried to assassinate the Crown Prince?”

Feng Yili’s face, which was hidden under the mask, darkened immediately. He said icily, “Assassinate that little piece of trash? Is he worthy? I won’t dirty my hands to do something like that…”

Yu Yunxi:

‘His mouth is really vicious. However, it really does seem that he disdains to do such a thing…

“Then who tried to assassin the Crown Prince?” Yu Yunxi muttered with a frown on her face.

Feng Yili sneered. “It’s just an excuse for the Emperor to stop me from leaving the palace..”
