Chapter 194: An Unexpected Guest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi’s heart trembled when she heard Feng Yili’s promise. She did not care about those titles, but she knew that his promise meant that he cared about Yu Junjin.

“Since the Prince Regent has said so, we can rest assured,” Jiang Ru said and nodded in relief.

When Shen Hezhi walked out of Jiang Ru’s courtyard with the family of three, he could not help but look at them several times.

As though he could sense Shen Hezhi’s sorrow, the little bun ran over to Shen Hezhi’s side and tugged at his sleeve. “Uncle.”

“Yes? What’s the matter?”

“Didn’t you promise to teach me calligraphy? You’ve been busy with the war so I didn’t mention it. Have you forgotten about it?” The little bun pouted, pretending to look aggrieved.

Shen Hezhi covered his mouth and coughed before he said with a smile, “Uncle hasn’t forgotten about it. If you want to learn, I can teach you at any time.”

“Alright, then I want you to teach me now. You can’t complain that I’m troubling you,” the little bun said, acting cute.

Seeing the little bun like that, Shen Hezhi naturally understood the little bun’s thoughts. The little bun was worried that he would feel lonely now that their family of three had reunited so the little bun tried to show that he was still needed.

Shen Hezhi looked at the little bun gently and said in an equally gentle tone, “Let’s go. I’ll teach you now.”

Yu Yunxi’s heart was heavy as she watched Shen Hezhi’s frail figure leave. Earlier, her godbrother tried to endure it, but he was still coughing a lot. His health seemed to be worse than she had expected.

“Are you worried about Shen Hezhi?” Feng Yili asked in a deep voice after seeing the worried expression on her face.

“I don’t know how long my brother will be able to hold on…” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice as she lowered her gaze.

“Is there really no other way?” Feng Yili asked seriously. Frankly speaking, he really admired Shen Hezhi. In terms of character and strategy, Shen Hezhi was really good. Moreover, Shen Hezhi was Yu Yunxi’s godbrother and the little bun’s uncle. He did not want anything to happen to Shen Hezhi as well.

“It’s not that there’s no way. It’s just that my godbrother was born like that; his body is innately weak. Ordinary medicine can’t solve this problem,” Yu Yunxi said in a complicated tone.

“So what’s the way to solve it?”

“There’s a type of snow lotus that has very powerful effects, but it blooms and bears fruit only once in 100 years. It’s extremely rare. If we can find it, then Brother might have a chance. However, it seems like the snow lotus is just a legend. We’ve been searching for it for many years, but we haven’t found anything, ” Yu Yunxi said, sounding desolate.

“That snow lotus that blooms once in a hundred years… Is it able to stop bleeding and strengthen bones?” Feng Yili suddenly asked.

“Yes, you…”

“It’s not a legend. It does exist. However, it’s with the imperial family of

Nanyue.”

“What?”

Yu Yunxi looked at Feng Yili in shock. Then, she asked excitedly, “Is this true? The imperial family of Nanyue really has the snow lotus?”

“Mmm,” Feng Yili said with a nod.

“Then my Brother can be saved!”

Hope burned in Yu Yunxi’s eyes immediately.

“I have to tell Godfather about this as soon as possible. Now that we have Nan Xun, we have a chance,” Yu Yunxi said.

At this moment, Qian Jiao rushed over and reported, “County Princess, Young General Ying is here.”

‘Young General Ying? Ying Siyuan? The generals should be discussing the next step with Godfather in the military camp now. Why is he here? Could it be…’

“Bring him in…”

Soon after, Qian Jiao led Ying Siyuan to Yu Yunxi.

“Siyuan greets the County Princess,” Ying Siyuan said with a bow.

“Young General Ying, there’s no need to be so polite. May I know why you came to the King of Xinan’s Residence today?” Yu Yunxi asked directly.

“I’ve heard about Guan Ying. I have something to say to her,” Ying Siyuan said in a low voice after taking a deep breath.

‘As expected, he’s here because of Guan Ying..

Yu Yunxi only raised an eyebrow. She was not too surprised. She said calmly,

“Guan Ying made a mistake so she’s now locked up. It’s not appropriate for her to meet outsiders, but since you’re her fiance, I can make an exception.”

Then, Yu Yunxi looked at Qian Jiao, gesturing to the latter to bring Ying Siyuan to Guan Ying.

However, Ying Siyuan said, “County Princess, as I said earlier, I have something to say to Guan Ying, but I hope you’ll come with me.”

Yu Yunxi was stunned, but she quickly recovered. She could roughly guess Ying Siyuan’s intention.

Guan Ying was a traitor to Xinan. As a general of Xinan, it was indeed inappropriate for him to meet her alone.

“Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Yu Yunxi also had some questions she wanted to ask Guan Ying personally.

In a forbidden place in the King of Xinan’s Residence.

This was where servants and slaves who committed crimes were imprisoned.

As soon as Yu Yunxi and Ying Siyuan approached, they could hear the sounds of things being smashed.

Immediately after that, Guan Ying’s shrill voice rang in the air.

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold. Unexpectedly, Guan Ying still did not repent even after being imprisoned. It did not wear down her temper at all. Based on the way she was acting, it was as though she wanted to be locked up for the rest of her life.

“Hurry up and call my aunt here! She must have calmed down by now! I’m sure she wants to let me out! Did Yu Yunxi tell you b*tches to keep me here?!” At this point, Guan Ying still felt that all her misfortunes were caused by Yu

Yunxi.

Ying Siyuan, who heard all those words, could no longer endure it. He broke in and asked, “Guan Ying, why don’t you know how to repent?”

Guan Ying looked up when she heard the commotion. She was overjoyed when she saw Ying Siyuan.

“Siyuan, you’re finally here! These unruly slaves are making things difficult for me! Hurry up and bring me out!”

At this moment, Guan Ying looked very disheveled. She had torn her own clothes, and some of her skin was even exposed. However, she did not seem to notice this at all and wanted to hug Ying Siyuan, hoping he would bring her away.

However, Ying Siyuan avoided Guan Ying and said icily, “Miss Guan, please respect yourself.”

“Respect myself? We’re engaged. Is there a need for you to be like this? Do you think I look untidy? It’s fine. Once I get out of here and clean up, I’ll look like I did before,” Guan Ying said. She assumed that Ying Siyuan was here to save her..
