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

Yu Yunxi:

‘Grandfather is really unpredictable… If I hadn’t really looked down on those rewards earlier, I would’ve really become a famous powerless Eldest Princess…’

Yu Yunxi took the commander’s seal and said in a low voice, “Then I’ll have to trouble Eunuch Li to thank Grandfather on my behalf.”

Chu Zai looked extremely gloomy as he watched this scene.

‘Is that old man determined to support Changning’s daughter? Whether it was back then or now, he has always been so biased!’

Before Chu Zai could suppress his anger, Li Xu passed on another decree.

“Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has ordered for the King of Youshan to stay in the capital for a few months.”

Chu Zai felt his vision darken, and he almost fainted.

‘Hm? Grandfather actually wants the King of Youshan to stay?’ Yu Yunxi frowned as she thought to herself, ‘What’s Grandfather planning? Forget it. This has nothing to do with me. The most important thing now is to gain a foothold in the capital.’

The Crimson Flame Army was Yu Yunxi’s confidence. With the commander’s seal in her hand, she felt as though her heart had been reignited. The gloominess that followed her around the past for many days was swept away.

Contrary to the joyful Yu Yunxi, the entire second branch of the Yu family was thunderstruck.

Madam Shang held Yu Feng’s hand and said anxiously, “Second Master, what should we do now? She’s going to take away the King of Zhenbei’s Residence!”

Yu Feng’s expression was hideous as he said, “What else can we do? We can only take it one step at a time.”

Even the Emperor Emeritus was protecting Yu Yunxi, what else could the second branch of the Yu family do?

When they walked out of the hall, Meng Xia could sense Yu Yunxi’s joy. She said softly, “Eldest Princess, I heard that the Crimson Flame Army isn’t so easy to control. You should’ve chosen the first reward earlier…

Yu Yunxi chuckled when she heard this. She played with the commander’s seal in her hand as she said, “You don’t understand. Power is the foundation.

For some reason, Yu Yunxi’s heart was filled with yearning to train with the soldiers. It was as though she belonged to the military camp and the battlefield.

‘Did I have… such an experience before?’ Yu Yunxi wondered inwardly, slightly perplexed.

Finally, Yu Yunxi said flatly, “Let’s get on the carriage first. Tonight, we’ll go and meet the second branch of the Yu family that’s staying in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.”

Yu Yunxi did not have any impression of her father and she did not live in her father’s residence, but she could not allow others to occupy her father’s residence.

“Yes, Eldest Princess.’

After entering the carriage, Yu Yunxi felt much more relaxed. She was surrounded by enemies on all sides today; fortunately, she survived. She massaged her aching head, planning to lie down and rest. However, she soon sensed a presence in the carriage. Her heart tightened, and she quickly brought her dagger out from her shoe, stabbing it behind her.

However, the other party was faster than her. Her hand was soon restrained before her slender waist was hugged.

“Let go of me!” Yu Yunxi’s eyes shone murderously.

“Eldest Princess, don’t be afraid. I just want to discuss something with you, ” Feng Yili said lightly.

Yu Yunxi frowned when she heard his voice.

“Why did the King of Youshan appear in my carriage?”

Before Feng Yili replied, she smelled a strong scent of blood, and she asked in a low voice, “Are you hurt?”

“Yes.”

“If you’re hurt, you should look for the imperial doctors,” Yu Yunxi said through gritted teeth. She had already withdrawn her dagger at this time. For some inexplicable reason, she felt that the King of Youshan would not hurt her. It was a strong feeling that came from her heart.

“Do you think I can trust the imperial doctors?” Feng Yili asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Yu Yunxi sat down and said lightly, “Since the King of Youshan doesn’t trust the imperial doctors, then look for a doctor outside. What’s the point in coming to my carriage?”

“Treat my injuries,” Feng Yili said tonelessly.

Feng Yili felt as though he had returned to the past. At that time, he had to think of all kinds of ways to get Yu Yunxi to detoxify the poison in his body so that he could spend more time with her.

Yu Yunxi scoffed and said coldly, “I’m not a doctor. How can I treat you?”

“I heard that you know medicine. I came because of your reputation,” Feng Yili said slowly.

However, Yu Yunxi did not agree. She did not want to invite trouble.

“If you help me, I’ll teach you how to tame the Crimson Flame Army.”

“I’ll think of a way to do it myself. I don’t need you to help me,” Yu Yunxi said, refusing him decisively.

“You don’t have time. Everyone’s watching you now. You have to control the Crimson Flame Army as soon as possible,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice, grasping the situation quickly.

“You…”

Yu Yunxi gnashed her teeth so hard that they hurt. As soon as the man in front of her spoke, he hit the nail on the head. This was indeed her current problem.

It was truly exasperating.

Yu Yunxi took a deep breath to calm down. There was a crazy voice in her mind that clamored for her to cooperate with the man in front of her. In the end, she gritted her teeth and lit the oil lamp in the carriage. Following that, she saw that the front of the man’s robe had been dyed red with blood. She quickly pulled his robe aside revealing a bloody wound on his chest.

She inhaled sharply before she said reproachfully, “Are you crazy? Your injury is so serious, but you still dare to talk so much nonsense with me!”

“Are you worried about me?” Feng Yili asked happily as the corners of his lips curled up. It was as though he did not feel the pain at all. “Why do you not cherish your own body as well?” Yu Yunxi asked.

‘As well?’

Feng Yili’s eyes flashed. Then, he asked urgently, “Apart from me, who else is like this as well?”

Yu Yunxi fell silent when she heard these words.

‘That’s right. What do I mean by ‘as well’? Who else is like this?’

Yu Yunxi racked her brain, but she could not recall anything. She said nonchalantly, “It was just a slip of the tongue.”

Then, Yu Yunxi said to Meng Xia, who was outside, “Meng Xia, go to the imperial hospital and get some medicine to treat wounds.”

Alarmed, Meng Xia asked worriedly, “Eldest Princess, are you injured?”

“No. There’s a puppy in my carriage. Hurry up and get the medicine, ” Yu Yunxi said.

‘Puppy? When did a puppy enter the carriage?’ Meng Xia was puzzled. However, she did not dare to delay and quickly left to get medicine.

After confirming that Meng Xia had left, Yu Yunxi turned around. She was surprised when she saw that Feng Yili had moved close to her. Her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to push him away, but she remembered that she was injured. In the end, she could only withdraw her hands.

With that, Feng Yili fell into Yu Yunxi’s arms.

“Y-you..

“I’m in pain. I can’t move,” Feng Yili said in a hoarse voice..
