Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

“Wait… Isn’t this my birth date?!”

Yu Yunxi finally reacted. She raised her head and looked at Feng Yili in shock. In the past, she lived a difficult life and later on, she was very busy with various matters. As such, she did not have the luxury to care about her birthday. This was why it took a long time for her to realize that the birth date was hers.

Feng Yili looked at her and said in a deep voice, “Yunxi, the rumors were targeted at… you.”

‘What kind of deep hatred and resentment does the mastermind have with me to do this?’

Yu Yunxi gripped the note tightly, unable to calm down for a moment. She would not be so bothered if she were alone. However, she now had Yu Junjin and Feng Yili. If the rumors aroused public anger, Feng Yili and Yu Junjin would definitely be implicated.

Yu Yunxi said anxiously, “Feng Yili, we must find the mastermind and stop him.”

After a moment, she thought of something and quickly asked, “l–low many people know the birth date?”

“The commoners likely don’t know the birth date yet. The mastermind likely planned to spread rumors about the existence of the demoness first to cause panic among the people. He would wait for the matter to ferment before he reveals the birth date,” Feng Yili said coldly. The mastermind was indeed very ruthless.

Feng Yili continued to say, “However, I’m sure the imperial family knows the birth date. After all, if Marquis Luo knows about it, it’S impossible that they don’t know.”

Yu Yunxi asked, “But… the imperial family doesn’t know this is my birth date, right?”

“That’s right. That’s why Imperial Brother hasn’t taken any action yet. After all, they can’t find anyone with this birth date in the imperial family,” Feng Yili said.

The birth dates of all members of the imperial family were recorded. Whether they were born into the imperial family or married into the imperial family, they were all recorded.

As for Yu Yunxi’s birthday, back then, when she was forced to replace Yu Wanrong and marry into the Prince Regent’s Residence, the Yu family had lied and said that Yu Wanrong’s birth date was hers. As such, it was actually Yu Wanrong’s birth date that was recorded under her name.

“Back then, not many people knew that I replaced Yu Wanrong to marry you.

The only people who knew were the Yu family… and the Empress and the

Crown Prince,” Yu Yunxi said as her eyes glinted coldly.

‘Does this matter have something to do with the Empress and the Crown Prince?’

“I don’t think the Crown Prince is so foolish. Due to the matter with the Yu family, Imperial Brother is still suspicious of him. He doesn’t have time to care about anything else for the time being,” Feng Yili calmly analyzed, “The Yu family didn’t do anything to cover up the matter of the marriage back then so it’S possible that there are others who are privy to it.”

“Who could it be?” Yu Yunxi was slightly anxious.

“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t let you and Junjin get hurt,” Feng Yili said resolutely as his eyes shone with killing intent. Back then, he was unable to protect her because he was unconscious. This time, he was determined not to make the same mistake.

Suddenly, Feng Yili clutched his chest and began to couch. His face was twisted into a painful expression.

Yu Yunxi hurriedly got up and checked his pulse. She said gravely, “The Springwood Separation poison hasn’t been detoxified yet. Counting the days, it’S almost time for it to act up… Wait for a moment. I’ll brew some medicine for you now. It won’t detoxify the poison, but it’ll ease the pain.”

Yu Yunxi was about to leave when Feng Yili grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder as he said hoarsely by her ear, “I can endure this bit of pain. I only want to hug you now.”

Feng Yili was separated from Yu Yunxi for a long time. For this reason, he had become a little clingy.

Yu Yunxi did not object. She patted his back gently and said, “Okay.”

Feng Yili pleaded softly, “Can you promise me that no matter what happens, you won’t leave me?”

“Okay,” Yu Yunxi replied without any hesitation.

The sense of unease in Feng Yili’S heart lessened a lot when he heard her.

After a few moments, Jiang Ying’S voice suddenly rang from outside.

“Your Royal Highness, the people from the Wei Medical Hall are here. They said they came to deliver medicine to you.”

‘They came to deliver medicine?’

Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed as the puzzles began to piece themselves together. She quickly pulled away from Feng Yili and asked in a strange tone, “Is the medicine the reason why you were willing to help the Fifth Prince and were so close to the Wei family?” Feng Yili shook his head. “Those aren’t the only reasons.”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you know how Wei Medical Hall became the number one medical hall in the capital?” Feng Yili asked.

“Isn’t it because of your help?” Yu Yunxi asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No. That’s just a rumor the Wei family spread. I disdained to explain myself so the rumors continued to spread. If the Wei Medical 1–lall doesn’t have any ability, even if my help, they won’t be able to last long,” Feng Yili said.

“So?” Yu Yunxi prompted.

“It’S all thanks to your mother. Back then, the Wei Medical Hall took some of your mother’s medical journals away and cultivated a group of doctors who were loyal to them. For this reason, compared to other medical halls, their medical skills are quite good,” Feng Yili explained.

He scoffed coldly before he continued to say, “The reason they were able to keep the Springwood Separation poison in check was also due to your mother’s medical journals. I tried to force them to give up the medical journals several times, but it seems like someone was pulling strings and taught them how to use this matter to threaten me instead..

The more Yu Yunxi heard, the heavier her heart became. As it turned out, Feng Vili did not only work with the Wei family because of the medicine, but also because he was trying to obtain her mother’s medical journals and was threatened.

She shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes. “Feng Yili, are you stupid? It’S just some books. They’re just things. You’re a living person. 1–10w can you let the Wei family threaten you with them?”

“But those are the things your mother left you… I thought, I thought that you’d cared a lot about them,” Feng Yili said in a low voice. He clearly did not regret his decision at all. If he was given a chance to do it again, he would not do it any differently.

After a moment, Feng Yili said icily, “Also, the person pulling the strings of the

Wei family is likely the Imperial Preceptor…”
