Chapter 237: Pulling Nan Xun In

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi’s aura was very strong.

The palace servants were frightened out of their wits and quickly ran out.

Yu Yunxi hurried to the bedside and checked the Empress Dowager’s pulse first. When she sensed the other party’s pulse growing weaker and weaker, her heart sank. Although hope was slim, she still had to do her best.

Outside.

The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and many imperial consorts had arrived.

Feng Weichen, the Fifth Prince, hurried to Feng Yili’s side. He looked at Qian Mei viciously and said in a low voice, “Ninth Imperial Uncle, I heard that this b*tch tried to assassinate Imperial Grandmother. Why don’t I interrogate her first?”

Obviously, Feng Weichen was worried that this matter would implicate Feng Yili and that he would be affected as a result.

Feng Yili replied expressionlessly, “I’ll investigate this matter myself. There’s no need for you to interfere.”

“Ninth Imperial Uncle, you…”

Feng Weichen felt extremely uneasy. Previously, at the time when Feng Yili’s poison acted up, his maternal grandfather and a few others had gone to deliver the medicine to Feng Yili, but they were rejected by Feng Yili’s men.

‘Is it possible that Yu Yunxi’s is so brilliant? Now that they’ve reconciled, is it possible that Ninth Imperial Uncle doesn’t need us anymore? What should I

Feng Weichen knew that he was only capable of competing with the Crown Prince in the imperial court because of Feng Yili. Without Feng Yili’s support, he had no chance of winning at all.

Seeing the flustered expression on Feng Weichen’s face, the Empress and Feng Weizhou exchanged a look. Both of them wore complacent expressions on their faces. It was naturally beneficial to them if Prince Chen’s Residence lost the support of the Prince Regent’s Residence.

Feng Yijin looked at the tightly shut door before he turned to Feng Yili and said, “It’s been almost two hours, but Yunxi has yet to come out. Ninth Imperial Brother, what do you think we should do?”

Based on his tone, Feng Yijin was clearly trying to tell Feng Yili that the situation in the room was bad and that Feng Yili should prepare to step away from the imperial court.

Feng Yili replied expressionlessly, “Yunxi has yet to come out, and she has yet to tell me that she has tried her best. I believe that there’s hope.”

Feng Yijin scoffed and said through gritted teeth, “Ninth Imperial Brother, you really trust her a lot. Very well. Let’s wait. I hope she doesn’t let me down!” Not long after, the door was pushed open.

Yu Yunxi looked exhausted, and she was covered in blood when she appeared in front of everyone.

Feng Yili immediately hurried over and supported her.

“Mother…’

The little bun’s eyes turned red when he saw his mother.

“I’m fine,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head slightly. Then, she looked at Feng Yijin and said, “Your Majesty, I managed to save the Empress Dowager’s life.”

‘What? She saved the Empress Dowager?’

Feng Yijin’s expression changed drastically when he heard Yu Yunxi’s words. Then, he snapped at the imperial doctors, “What are you waiting for? Why aren’t you going in to check on the Empress Dowager?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The imperial doctors hurried into the room. After a while, they came out. “Princess Consort, you’re truly amazing! It’s a miracle. Please accept our bow.”

The imperial doctors looked at Yu Yunxi with worshipful expressions on their faces. All of them were certain the Empress Dowager was going to die after all. They did not expect that Yu Yunxi would be able to pull the Empress Dowager back from the gates of hell.

Seeing the imperial doctors’ reactions, how could Feng Yijin not understand that the Empress Dowager had been saved? He pulled a long face, feeling extremely unhappy. After all, it would have been great if the Empress Dowager had died. After all, in exchange for her life, he would be able to make Feng Yili step away from the imperial court.

At the same time, the Empress glanced at Feng Yijin from the corners of her eyes. As expected of someone who had been his Empress for nearly thirty years, she quickly guessed his thoughts. Chills ran up her spine immediately.

‘The Emperor… is really ruthless…’

After a moment, Feng Yijin said sternly, “Although the Empress Dowager has been saved, we still need to investigate the assassination attempt. Yu Yunxi, what do you have to say about your maidservant’s actions?”

Yu Yunxi’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Qian Mei from the corners of her eyes and saw the unsightly expression on Qian Mei’s face. If she did not treat Qian Mei now, Qian Mei would lose her life. Hence, she quickly said to Feng Yijin, “Your Majesty, please give me two hours. Let me treat her first. I’ll definitely give you an explanation after that.”

“Who knows if you’ll help your maidservant escape?” Feng Yijin scoffed coldly. He clearly did not intend to let Yu Yunxi off.

“Imperial Brother, I…”

Feng Yili was about to use himself as a guarantee again when…

“It’s so lively here. What’s going on?”

Nan Xun walked in majestically with the envoys of Nanyue behind him. Upon seeing this, Feng Weizhou said sternly, “Why did Crown Prince Nan come here?”

“I’m going to marry the Fourth Princess of your country soon, after all. I specially came to the palace today to cultivate my relationship with her. Unexpectedly, it’s so lively here. So, what happened?” Nan Xun said nonchalantly.

The expressions of Feng Yijin, Feng Weizhou, and the others darkened when they heard Nan Xun’s words.

Feng Yijin said icily, “This is Tianxia’s imperial family’s matter. Crown Prince

Nan, you should return and settle the matter of returning to your country.”

Clearly, Feng Yijin was driving Nan Xun away. Alas, he had underestimated Nan Xun’s shamelessness. How could Nan Xun give up on the opportunity to watch a show?

Nan Xun chuckled and said lightly, “Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the Fourth Princess and I are about to get married? It won’t be long before we become a family…”

Feng Yijin ignored Nan Xun and said, “Men, invite Crown Prince Nan back.”

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed slightly as she watched this scene. After a moment, she quickly said, “Your Majesty, I heard that Crown Prince Nan is quite skilled in investigating cases. Why don’t we ask for his help? I believe you must want to know the real culprit behind the attempted assassination of the Empress Dowager.”

“Yu Yunxi!”

Feng Yijin looked at Yu Yunxi warningly as killing intent shone in his eyes.

However, Yu Yunxi was not afraid. She continued to say flatly, “Please don’t be angry, Your Majesty. I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible. If Crown Prince Nan investigates the matter and finds my maidservant guilty, then I won’t say anything else. I’m willing to bear everything for her.” Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard these words.

“Princess Consort!” Qian Mei called out as her eyes turned red. She was not worth Yu Yunxi’s effort to defend her.

Feng Yijin was originally very angry, but when he heard Yu Yunxi’s words, his eyes flashed with a cunning light. He said, “Since you’re so persistent, I’ll give you a chance. Since Crown Prince Nan is here, he’ll serve as a witness. If your maidservant is found guilty, I won’t let the matter go so easily. At that time, I hope Ninth Imperial Brother won’t interfere in this matter anymore..”
