Chapter 338: Scheming Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Feng Yiliโs actions, Yu Yunxi asked helplessly, โArenโt you afraid of arousing the Emperorโs suspicion by being so close to me?โ
โThe Emperor is already suspicious of me. Is he going to suspect me less because of this?โ Feng Yili replied nonchalantly.
Yu Yunxi:
His words were so reasonable that she could refute them.
โForget it. The entire capital is filled with the Emperorโs spy. He probably already knows that Iโm close to Feng Yili, Thereโs no point in hiding it nowโฆโ
There was also another thing that Yu Yunxi was curious about. How did Feng Yili, who was under the guise of the King of Youshan, manage to get her grandfather to agree to let him enter the capital? She wondered if they had made a deal.
โKing of Youshan, you..
Just as Yu Yunxi opened her mouth to ask about the matter, the high pitch of a eunuch rang in the air.
โThe Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Consort Hong, Consort
Yang, and Consort Mu have arrived!โ
Not long after that, a majestic figure appeared in front of everyoneโs eyes.
โGreetings, Your Majesties the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress. Greetings, Consort Hong, Consort Yang, and Consort Mu.โ
The ministers kneeled down immediately.
Meanwhile, Chu Yuefu and the other princes and princesses began to kneel one after another as well.
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly when she saw this. After a moment, she kneeled down as well. However, just as her knees were about to touch the ground, she discovered that an arm had reached out, placing a hand under her knee. She turned to the side in shock only to find Feng Yili already kneeling on one knee and using his hand to cushion her knees.
โThereโs gravel on the ground. Donโt hurt your knees,โ Feng Yili said seriously. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ซ๐๐.๐ฌ๐ค๐ข
Yu Yunxiโs heart trembled fiercely. After all, Feng Yili was the Prince Regent of Tianxia. He controlled a huge troop and had a noble status. Even the Emperor of Tianxia was wary of him. There was no doubt that he did not need to kneel in Tianxia. However, in Xichuโฆ
โRiseโฆโ
As soon as the Emperorโs voice fell, Yu Yunxi hurriedly helped Feng Yili up.
Feeling the warmth on his arm, the corners of Feng Yiliโs lips curled up slightly. Although Yu Yunxi no longer had her memories, she still cared about him. He was naturally gratified.
After taking a seat on the dragon throne, the Emperor; Chu Zai, immediately looked at Yu Yunxi with a piercing gaze.
โSheโs indeed very close to the King of Youshan. What are the two of them planning?โ
At this moment, the Empress Dowager said lightly, โEmperor, didnโt you say that Yunxi made things difficult for the Jiang family? Why donโt you deal with that matter now?โ
The Empress Dowager had many spies in the capital. It was not surprising that she knew about what happened to the Jiang family.
Chu Zaiโs expression darkened when he heard the Empress Dowagerโs words.
After a while, he said frostily, โAlthough Yunxi made things difficult for the Jiang family, she also eased the burden on the national treasury. Thereโs really no way to deal with her now.โ fr(e)enovelkiss.com
The Empress Dowager said unhappily, โEmperor, donโt tell me youโre going to do as she pleases? Itโs up to you to deal with your subjects. When is it her turn to do such a thing? Sheโs just an unimportant princess.โ
At this moment, Consort Hong coughed before she said softly, โEmpress Dowager, why do you say that? That child, Yunxi, is only helping the Emperor. Iโve heard about the Jiang family. They actually wanted to frame General Qu. General Qu has always been loyal to Xichu and has made great contributions to the country. We canโt let him downโฆโ
โConsort Hong, are you contradicting me?โ the Empress Dowager asked unhappily.
Consort Hongโs eyes reddened immediately. She launched into a coughing fit, struggling as she said, โEmpress Dowager, thatโs not what I meant. I just..
Seeing this, Chu Zai hurriedly helped Consort Hong. He turned to the Empress Dowager and said seriously, โMother, Consort Hong is also thinking about the imperial court. She has a point. Donโt be angry with her. Sheโs weak, and the imperial doctors have said that she has to pay attention to her emotions.โ
The Empress Dowagerโs expression turned extremely ugly after she heard these words.
โItโs because of this woman again that the Emperor said such words to meโฆโ
Meanwhile, Empress Qin watched coldly from the side as Chu Zai asked about Consort Hongโs well-being. From the corners of her eyes, she also saw Consort Mu gnashing her teeth in anger.
โAlthough the Emperor usually dotes on that b*tch, Consort Mu, compared to Consort Hong, she was simply not worth mentioningโฆ The relationship between the childhood sweethearts is really good after allโฆโ
At the same time, Yu Yunxi saw everything. She had long heard that the Emperor had doted on many consorts and concubines over the years, but he still favored Consort Hong the most. Based on what she had seen, it seemed like the rumors were true.
Consort Hong was petite. Although she looked frail and sickly, it could not hide her beauty at all. Indeed, such a woman was easy to cherish and love.
At this moment, Chu Zai said in a deep voice, โRecently, many things have happened in Xichu, and everyone feels uneasy. Itโs good to hold a celebratory event so that everyone can relax. Moreover, General Qu is about to leave for Kongzhou to provide disaster relief. The autumn hunt can be considered a farewell for him.โ
General Qu quickly stood up and thanked the Emperor.
Yu Yunxi looked over and met Qu Yuโs eyes. Although Qu Yu smiled at her, she felt that Qu Yuโs smile was a little forced. It was as though Qu Yu was trying to suppress her emotions. She frowned slightly as she wondered inwardly, โDid something happen to Qu Yu again?โ
Before Yu Yunxi could figure it out, Chu Zai said again, โThe champion of this yearโs autumn hunt will receive a reward from me. The champion is allowed to make a request from me. However, the request canโt be too excessive.โ
As soon as Chu Zaiโs voice fell, the officials sitting below the podium grew visibly excited. After all, this reward was too precious.
On the contrary, Yu Yunxi yawned and muttered under her breath, โHow boring.โ
Feng Yili held back his laughter and asked, โEldest Princess, why do you think itโs boring?โ
โIt sounds like a good reward, but only the Emperor knows what request is excessive and what is not excessive. If the request is too simple, then the champion has worked so hard to win for nothing. If the request is too excessive, the champion risks offending the Emperorโฆโ Yu Yunxi replied slowly.
Simply put, the reward sounded good, but it was not. Feng Yiliโs smile widened when he heard this.
โSheโs already seen through it so quicklyโฆโ
At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly turned to look at Yu Yunxi and said, โEldest Princess, I heard that you also know martial arts. Why donโt you participate in the hunt?โ
Yu Yunxi refused decisively. โEmpress Dowager, although I know martial arts, my skills arenโt very good. I definitely wonโt be able to deal with the ferocious beasts in the forest. Hence, I only came to join the fun.โ
โHer skills arenโt good?โ
When Chu Zai and the Empress Dowager heard Yu Yunxiโs words, their eyes Flashed
The Emperor Emeritus would not be participating in the autumn hunt. Therefore, if anything happened to Yu Yunxi here, the Emperor Emeritus would not be able to do anything about it..
