‘What?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly. She did not care about what Feng Weizhou said about Feng Yili, but she cared about her mother’s warm jade. ‘Feng Yili gave Mother’s warm jade to someone else?’

Feng Weizhou glanced at Yu Yunxi from the corners of his eyes before he walked out unhurriedly and said, “I’m not in a hurry. I’ll give you three months to consider my proposal. I hope you’ll give me a satisfactory answer.”

When Feng Weizhou’s figure finally vanished from sight, Yu Yunxi could no longer maintain her composure. She muttered over and over again, “How could Feng Yili give away my mother’s warm jade?”

“Yunxi,” Shen Hezhi called out worriedly.

It took a while, but Yu Yunxi gradually calmed down. She looked up at Shen Hezhi and asked with a frown, “Brother, what do you think Feng Weizhou is planning?”

“He’s likely panicking because of the Emperor’s recent decision to place the Third Prince in an important position. Alas, it’s impossible for him to use our King of Xinan’s Residence,” Shen Hezhi said coldly.

The Fifth Prince was vicious and merciless, but so was the Crown Prince.

“I understand,” Yu Yunxi nodded and said, “The King of Xinan’s Residence will not ask a tiger for its skin…’

All along, the plan of the King of Xinan’s Residence was to turn the capital upside down and support the person they acknowledged to ascend the throne.

“Yunxi, you..

Shen Hezhi looked at Yu Yunxi worriedly, afraid that she would be affected by Feng Weizhou’s words.

Yu Yunxi said calmly, “Brother, I’ll admit that I was touched when Feng Yili risked his life to save me when I fell off the cliff. However, if I have to make a choice, you, Junjin, and the King of Xinan’s Residence are the ones I want to protect most.”

Feng Yili had done too many things that disappointed her. How could she hurt the hearts of people who cared about her for him?

“What I care about now is the matter of the King of Xinan’s Residence and my mother’s warm jade,” Yu Yunxi murmured.

If Feng Yili really gave her mother’s warm jade to another person, she would never forgive him.

Yu Yunxi did not want Shen Hezhi to worry about her so she took the initiative and mentioned the incident in the palace.

“Alright, Brother, let’s talk about what happened earlier…”

Yu Yunxi told Shen Hezhi everything that happened with Consort Qin in the palace.

Shen Hezhi frowned as he listened, and his expression grew solemn. He said, “Yunxi, you must bring Qian Ji and the others with you when you go out in the future…

“Brother, are you worried that Consort Qin will kill me?” Yu Yunxi asked, trying to souna relaxed. In oraer not to worry mm, sne noaaea ana said, “1 understand. I’ll bring them with me.”

Then, she added, “Alright, Brother. So much has happened today, and we’re all exhausted. Let’s rest first, and talk about the rest tomorrow.

“Alright, let’s rest,” Shen Hezhi said gently with a nod.

The next morning.

When Yu Yunxi pushed the door open, she saw Luo Xiuran standing anxiously outside.

Luo Xiuran scratched his head and said anxiously, “Yunxi, you’re awake. That.. Recently, someone has been causing trouble at the military base. Yili has to deal with these matters so he doesn’t have the time to…”

A hint of mockery flashed in Yu Yunxi’s eyes as she said, “So you’re saying he’s busy so he has no time to meet anyone?”

“Yes, yes!” Luo Xiuran nodded frantically.

However, the mockery in Yu Yunxi’s gaze only grew more intense as she said, “It seems like Young Marquis Luo’s position in his heart isn’t that high as well…”

Yu Yunxi walked straight past Luo Xiuran as soon as she finished speaking.

‘What?’

Luo Xiuran frowned in confusion, not understanding what Yu Yunxi meant.

Yu Yunxi had no intention of paying any more attention to Luo Xiuran. After she asked someone to invite him out, she went to the room where the patient was staying, fully armed.

Doctor Li was already waiting there. When he saw her, he greeted her respectfully, “County Princess…”

“How’s the situation?” Yu Yunxi asked without beating around the bush.

“She’s awake. I brought her some porridge just a moment ago. She’s eating now,” Doctor Li replied.

“Alright.”

Yu Yunxi nodded.

Before Yu Yunxi could open the door, Doctor Li said hurriedly, “County Princess, we don’t know if her symptoms are that of a plague… However, if it’s… Your status is noble…’

“If I didn’t examine her properly, I wouldn’t be able to make the right decisions,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head. Then, she asked Qian Mei to bring her a bowl of medicine. After drinking it, she covered her nose and her mouth with a piece of cloth before she pushed the door open..
