Chapter 60: You Provoked Me First

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Are you going to kill me?” Feng Yili asked, clenching his hands. The aura he emitted was so cold at this moment that it seemed as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped.

“Yes, if Your Royal Highness continues to act like this,” Yu Yunxi said unyieldingly.

Feng Yili remained silent. His expression was dark, and he looked a little lonely at this moment. After a long time, he lowered his gaze and said in a soft voice, “Yu Yunxi, you were the one who provoked me first, and now, you’re also the one who doesn’t want me. You’re really cruel.” ‘What does he mean by this?’

Yu Yunxi was slightly stunned by these words.

Suddenly, Feng Yili’s body moved closer to her.

Yu Yunxi’s first instinct was to withdraw the dagger. She only wanted to warn him earlier; she had never thought about taking his life. If something happened to him, her son would be sad. Moreover, without him to restrain the Emperor, it would not be good for Xinan. Alas, although she withdrew the dagger as quickly as she could, the tip of the dagger still pierced his chest.

Feng Yili inched closer to her and rested his head on her shoulder before he whispered into her ear, “Yu Yunxi, you’re the one who hurt me.”

“Feng Yili, you…”

The dagger fell from Yu Yunxi’s hand, staining her palm with blood. When she looked up, Feng Yili had already lost consciousness. She had no choice but to reach out and hug him.

The two of them nearly fell to the ground, and she felt a jolt of pain from the impact. However, at this moment, she did not care about herself at all. She quickly pulled Feng Yili’s collar down to have a look.

‘Damn it! He’s still bleeding!’

At this moment, Jiang Ying and the others, who were dressed in black, rushed back.

“Hurry up and help him!” Yu Yunxi shouted.

Jiang Ying and the others were extremely flustered, and they quickly rushed over. They did not expect that when Feng Yili ordered them to lure Qian Jiao away, things would end up like this.

In the Prince Regent’s Residence.

In the familiar yet unfamiliar bedroom.

Yu Yunxi removed Feng Yili’s clothes that had already been dyed red with his blood with trembling hands.

‘Lunatic! He must be crazy! Why would he deliberately let the dagger pierce him? Does he not want to live?’

Jiang Ying was extremely anxious. “Princess Consort, His Royal Highness…” ‘His Royal Highness’ health isn’t very good, to begin with… If this continues…’ “Shut up,” Yu Yunxi said, interrupting Jiang Ying. She forced herself to calm down before she said, “Prepare a set of silver needles for me, and gather these medicines…”

Yu Yunxi handed Jiang Ying a piece of paper. This was the prescription she had written down earlier during the journey back. Her handwriting was slightly crooked due to her trembling hands.

“Yes.”

Jiang Ying did not dare to waste time and left immediately to procure all those things.

After four hours, Yu Yunxi finally finished sewing up Feng Yili’s wound. Fortunately, he did not injure his heart meridian. Otherwise, even a great immortal would not be able to save him.

Yu Yunxi sat weakly on the ground, looking slightly disheveled. This scene reminded her of the past five years ago. At that time, Feng Yili almost died, and she had been so nervous, afraid that she could not save him.

Upon seeing Yu Yunxi’s slightly red eyes, Jiang Ying’s heart skipped a beat. He called out tentatively, “P-Princess Consort…”

“Don’t worry. Your master won’t die. Where’s my maidservant?” Yu Yunxi asked coldly.

Jiang Ying’s expression darkened. Clearly, tonight’s incident had angered Yu Yunxi again. He lowered his head and whispered, “She was drugged earlier. She’s now resting in the guest room. I’ve already instructed a maidservant to look after her.”

Yu Yunxi rose to her feet, intending to look for Qian Jiao. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Jiang Ying reacted in time and grabbed her arm, preventing her from falling. He asked worriedly, “Princess Consort, do you need me to summon the resident doctor?”

“No need,” Yu Yunxi refused coldly. She had exhausted herself tonight, and she felt extremely tired.

“Find someone to watch over your master. If he survives tonight, he’ll be safe. Also, prepare a carriage for me,” Yu Yunxi said stonily.

“Princess Consort, do you still plan to return to the Yu Residence? It’s already so late, and you’re not in good condition. Why don’t you stay in the Prince Regent’s Residence for the night?” Jiang Ying asked worriedly, frowning.

“I really don’t dare to stay in an imperial residence,” Yu Yunxi said sarcastically.

Jiang Ying’s frown deepened. He was really not willing to give up. He said again, “The sleeping medicine I gave your maidservant is really strong. She won’t wake up so soon. Princess Consort, it’s not convenient for you to leave like this considering the state she’s in…

Jiang Ying continued to persuade Yu Yunxi. “Princess Consort, you can sleep anywhere in the residence. If you don’t want to share a room with the Prince Regent, you can pick one of the guest rooms…”

‘I can sleep anywhere? Right, I forgot about Mother’s warm jade…’

Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed upon hearing Jiang Ying’s words. Now that Feng Yili was unconscious, it was the best time for her to look for the warm jade. After a moment, she asked, testing the water, “Then, Young Marquis Luo…”

“Princess Consort, the Prince Regent recently took a child in. Tonight, Young Marquis Luo brought the child back to the Marquis Residence so he’s not here,” Jiang Ying said respectfully.

‘No wonder I didn’t see Junjin…

Yu Yunxi nodded. Without Luo Xiuran and Consort Dowager Ning, it would be easier for her to search for the warm jade. Finally, she said calmly, “Alright, you may leave. I’ll watch over your master first before I rest.”

Jiang Ying did not know why Yu Yunxi changed her mind so quickly, but he was very excited. He nodded and said, “Yes, Princess Consort!”

Jiang Ying left immediately and closed the door behind him. He wished to give the duo in the room more time alone.

When the room fell silent, Yu Yunxi hurriedly searched and rummaged through the cabinets. Previously, she did not find the warm jade in the study so she thought there was a chance that Feng Yili kept it in the bedroom. She searched carefully for a long time, but she still did not find anything in the end.

After a moment, a box at the top caught her eye. She quickly brought it down to have a look.

The box looked worn, especially the opening. It was obvious that it was opened very often.

“The warm jade should be in here, right?” Yu Yunxi murmured to herself.

The warm jade had a miraculous effect. Feng Yili must have discovered it and used it often. Otherwise, she really could not think of anything that could make him frequently open the box.

However, the moment she opened the box, her expression changed.

What was in the box was not the warm jade, but an earring. Most importantly, she was familiar with the earring.

Five years ago, she had lost the earring. She did not think much of it at that time.

‘Why is it here?’
