“Alright, calm down. Keep an eye on them after we enter the palace. Don’t let them do anything that’ll tarnish the reputation of the King of Zhennbei’s Residence,” Yu Yunxi said solemnly.

It was human nature to want to climb up high. The three Kang sisters could not be blamed for their ambitions. However, that was only if they did not do anything that would harm the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. Otherwise, Yu Yunxi would not let them off so easily.

Meng Xia calmed down quickly and replied with a nod, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”

“Qian Qing, after entering the palace, when you see the Prince Regent and Young Marquis Luo, follow them, ” Yu Yunxi said.

Yu Yunxi only ordered Qian Qing to accompany Feng Yili and Luo Xiuran to create an opportunity for Luo Xiuran. Moreover, Qian Qing was also brave, meticulous, and skilled in medicine. If there were an emergency, she would be able to help.

Qian Qing was briefly stunned. However, she also knew Yu Yunxi’s good intentions. She hurriedly nodded and replied, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”

At the entrance of the imperial palace.

Due to the high number of carriages, no carriage was allowed to enter the imperial palace for the sake of safety. The carriages stopped at the entrance, and palanquins were used to carry people to the venue of the banquet. Yu Yunxi did not expect to meet an old acquaintance as soon as she alighted from the carriage.

Feng Weizhou alighted from the carriage next to that of Yu Yunxi. His expression was extremely gloomy. Over the past two days, he had been feeling uneasy because of Feng Yili. He could not figure out why Feng Yili came to Xichu. Distracted, he did not notice Yu Yunxi at all. He lowered his voice and asked the attendant next to him, “Has the Eldest Princess of Xichu entered the palace yet?”

“The guard who went to investigate has yet to return, Crown Prince,” the attendant replied in a low voice as well.

Feng Weizhou berated angrily, “Trash! I told you to investigate Ninth Imperial

Uncle, but you came back with nothing. Now, you couldn’t even find out if the Eldest Princess is in the palace!”

Feng Yijin, the Emperor of Tianxia, had given Feng Weizhou a mission. Xichu currently had two unmarried princesses: the Third and Sixth Princess. Feng Yijin had asked Feng Weizhou to observe which of the two princesses was more powerful before proposing a marriage to the Emperor of Xichu. As for the Eldest Princess who had just returned to the capital, despite her polarizing reputation, just by virtue of her identity as the fiancee of the Third Prince of Beixiao, Feng Yijin had asked him to be on good terms with her.

Feng Weizhou was naturally angry that his subordinates failed to investigate anything. How could he get close to the Eldest Princess without any information?

Suddenly, a cold voice said, “Oh, are you looking for me, Crown Prince of Tianxia?”

Feng Weizhou raised his head in shock when he heard the familiar voice. When he saw Yu Yunxi’s face, his expression changed drastically. He asked, “Y-Yunxi, why are you here?”

‘Isn’t she dead?’

Feng Weizhou grew even more uneasy. After all, Yu Yunxi was on Feng Yili’s side. When news of Yu Yunxi’s death spread, Xinan fell out with Feng Yili, which greatly delighted him and his father.

‘Why is she alive?’

Feng Weizhou’s eyes shone with killing intent.

Suddenly, a voice asked coldly, “Crown Prince of Tianxia, isn’t the way you spoke to my fiancee too rude?”

A carriage with the emblem of the imperial family of Beixiao pulled to a stop, and in the next moment, Xiao Shici alighted from the carriage. His usually gentle gaze was now cold.

‘Huh?’

Feng Weizhou turned around and saw the emblem of the imperial family of Beixiao. He had heard that Beixiao only sent one prince to Xichu, and it was the prince that the Emperor of Beixia loved most, the Third Prince. He knew that the Third Prince of Beixiao’s status was like that of the Crown Prince in Beixiao.

Feng Weizhou reacted quickly and said, “As it turns out, it’s the Third Prince of Beixiao. I’ve been disrespectful earlier…”

However, Feng Weizhou finally realized that something was wrong.

‘If he’s the Third Prince of Beixiao, then the fiancee he mentioned was… Yu Yunxi?! Could she be the Eldest Princess who was recently found?’

Feng Weizhou staggered slightly, almost losing his balance.

Yu Yunxi smoothed the creases on her sleeves and said with a faint smile, “The

Crown Prince of Tianxia seems very shocked by identity.”

The situation in Xichu was special, and the country’s door had always remained closed. Moreover, Chu Ruishi had expended a lot of effort to hide Yu Yunxi’s past. It was not surprising that Feng Weizhou knew nothing about it.

“It’s my fault for being rude. It’s just that the Eldest Princess… looks very much like an old friend of mine,” Feng Weizhou said, still trying to test Yu Yunxi.

‘Perhaps she only looks like Yu Yunxi…’

Yu Yunxi hid the coldness in her gaze and slowly approached Feng Weizhou. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Feng Weizhou, when you wanted to steal my mother’s warm jade back then, did you ever think that my mother’s identity was… extraordinary?”

‘S-she knows about the warm jade!’

Feng Weizhou could no longer maintain the smile on his face now that he confirmed that the person in front of him was Yu Yunxi. Back then, he and his mother wanted to snatch the warm jade away because they discovered that the warm jade had miraculous healing effects. His mother had witnessed with her own eyes how Yu Yunxi’s mother had saved a dying person with the warm jade. They never questioned why or how a concubine of the prime minister possessed such an extraordinary jade. As it turned out, the other party was

Princess Changning of Xichu, and Yu Yunxi was the current Eldest Princess of Xichu.

Feng Weizhou quickly hid the ferocious expression on his face and said in a relieved tone, “Yunxi, it’s really you! I didn’t recognize the wrong person. It’s great that you’re fine. When Mother and I heard that something happened to you, we were extremely worried.”

‘This Crown Prince of Tianxia is so shameless!’

Meng Xia could not help but roll her eyes. Even if she did not know the full story, she could see how fake he was.

“Oh, the Crown Prince and the Empress are really caring,” Yu Yunxi said meaningfully.

Feng Weizhou could barely maintain the smile on his face as anxiety burned in his heart.

‘I have to write to Imperial Father as soon as possible. No wonder Ninth Imperial Uncle came to Xichu! He must have known Yunxi’s true identity a long time ago! Ninth Imperial Uncle is already so difficult to deal with. Now that Yunxi is the Eldest Princess of Xichu, if the two of them join forces, we won’t be able to protect the throne…’

Feng Weizhou was so distracted that he did not notice that Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici had already left.

Yu Yunxi said with a sneer, “Look at Feng Weizhou. He hasn’t improved at all. He only learned about my true identity, but he’s already so anxious. What would happen if he learns about your other identity?”

Xiao Shici’s mother was harmed by the imperial family of Tianxia, after all.

Although Xiao Shici did not say it explicitly, Yu Yunxi had a feeling that he did not have any intentions of letting those people off.

“If it’s not for Feng Yili’s protection, Tianxia would’ve collapsed long ago. However, those idiots can’t see the situation clearly and still want to get rid of Feng Yili,” Xiao Shici said derisively..
