Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

I’m Thoroughly Disappointed in You

When the other party heard the commotion, his aura changed immediately. He gathered his internal Qi in his palm and attacked first.

Yu Yunxi quickly returned to her senses. Since the other party had already made a move, she naturally could not sit still and wait for death. She dodged to the side quickly and brandished her dagger before bringing it down.

When the man turned around, the two of them were taken aback.

The other party was none other than… Feng Yili.

Since the other party was Feng Yili, Yu Yunxi hastily withdrew the dagger. However, her momentum was too strong, and she fell on Feng Yili, pushing him into the huge tub at the side.

With a splash, both of them fell into the tub.

Yu Yunxi coughed heavily as she struggled to get up.

‘Why does the water have such a strong medicinal smell? Is he taking a medicinal bath? Why?’

“Feng…” Yu Yunxi called out, but she stopped speaking when she heard movements outside.

Jiang Ying’s voice, which sounded slightly angry, drifted in from outside.

“Second Miss Yu, His Royal Highness is really not here. Please leave.”

Yu Wanrong chuckled. “I know you don’t like me. I also know that the Prince Regent is here. There are very few days in the month when he’s not in his residence, after all. Move aside. I have something to discuss with him.”

When Yu Yunxi heard the approaching footsteps, she looked down at her wet clothes. She looked a little annoyed and made a move to stand up.

However, in the next moment, a strong arm reached out from behind and wrapped around Yu Yunxi’s slender waist before she was pulled back.

Just as Yu Wanrong was about to discover the duo, Feng Yili waved his other hand, sending a gust of wind to slam the door shut with a loud bang.

Outside the room, Yu Wanrong said with an unfriendly tone, “I knew it. The Prince Regent is inside!”

In the room, Yu Yunxi glared at Feng Yili and asked, “What are you doing?”

Feng Yili said calmly, “If you don’t want others to see you in such a state, then stay quiet.”

Yu Yunxi could only swallow her words. She looked around and saw that the wound on Feng Yili’s shoulder had opened up. Blood flowed out, staining her clothes red.

‘Is his body made of stone? Doesn’t he feel pain?’ Yu Yunxi muttered inwardly, ‘Also, Yu Yunxi actually knows that he’s here. They’re really close!”

At this time, Yu Wanrong complained from outside the room, “Prince Regent, I came to visit you tonight because I have a request. Perhaps it’s because she feels wronged, after returning to the residence, Sister is venting her anger on us. The residence is in so much chaos now that Father, Mother, and Grandmother don’t even have the appetite to eat…”

Yu Yunxi wanted to laugh when she heard these words. She thought to herself, ‘Yu Wanrong really knows how to twist words and mess up right and wrong…’

“Recently, she even tried to force us by donating her mother’s dowry to the Ministry of War. Your Royal Highness, Wanrong begs you to lend a helping hand. Since you’re in charge of the Ministry of War now, as long as you say that her donation form is fake, everything will be resolved,” Yu Wanrong continued to say softly.

Yu Yunxi’s chest began to heave in anger. She had never met such a shameless person in her life. They had stolen her mother’s dowry, and yet, they were still trying to cover the matter up.

While Yu Yunxi was seething with anger, Feng Yili frowned as though he was enduring something. After a long time, he finally replied in a low voice, “I understand.”

‘What does he understand? He… Did he agree to help Yu Wanrong?’

Yu Yunxi’s head buzzed, and her heart felt as though it had been crushed by a huge rock. She felt suffocated.

The dowry belonged to her mother, but it was taken away by the Yu family. She did not care if he disliked her and liked Yu Wanrong, but how could he ignore right and wrong?

Outside the room, Yu Yunxi also thought that Feng Yili had agreed to help her, and her heart was jumping for joy. She smiled and quickly said, “Thank you, Your Royal Highness!”

Then, when Yu Wanrong turned around, she looked at Jiang Ying disdainfully.

‘Just a mere servant, but he dares to put on air with me! I’ll teach him a lesson sooner or later!’

Inside the room, after the sound of Yu Wanrong’s footsteps faded away, Yu Yunxi could not hold it in anymore. She pushed Feng Yili away and tried to stand away.

However, Feng Yili grabbed her wrist and stared at her with his deep and dark eyes. His hoarse voice was filled with emotions that were difficult to discern as he asked, “Are you angry?”

Yu Yunxi shook off his hand angrily, not caring if it would worsen his injury. She said, “That’s enough, Feng Yili. I’m not angry… I’m just thoroughly disappointed in you.”

Upon hearing the words ‘I’m thoroughly disappointed in you’, Feng Yili’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression turned cold.

Yu Yunxi continued to say, “Originally, I didn’t want to make things too ugly between us. I plan to divorce peacefully. I even prepared a letter of divorce to be sent to you tomorrow so you can officially be with Yu Wanrong.”

She paused for a moment before she continued to say coldly, “However, I’ve changed my mind! The Emperor personally conferred me the title of Princess Regent. As long as I’m alive, if I don’t want to and the Emperor doesn’t change his mind, I’ll always be the Princess Regent, and Yu Wanrong can only be a concubine!”

Feng Yili suddenly grabbed her shoulders, looking unhappy. He asked hoarsely, “What did you say? You originally planned to divorce me?”

Yu Yunxi assumed that he was unhappy because she was unwilling to divorce him now. She said with a sneer, “That’s right, Prince Regent. However, now, as long as I’m alive, I’ll continue being your Princess Consort. Looks like I should find time to return to the Prince Regent’s Residence to have a look. After all, that’s my home as well. Don’t you agree, Your Royal Highness?”

With that, Yu Yunxi forcefully pried his hand away and got out of the wooden tub with a splash.

The wet clothes clung to her body, revealing her graceful figure as she walked to the side. She calmly picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her body. After that, she did not even spare a glance at Feng Yili and left.

Jiang Ying was guarding the door. When he saw Yu Yunxi, he quickly called out, “Princess Consort, your sister’s appearance earlier was just an accident. I…”

“Jiang Ying, if such a thing happens again, I’ll personally kill you,” Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly before she walked away.

Jiang Ying’s face paled, and he grew even more worried. Originally, he wanted to create an opportunity for Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi to get along. Most importantly, in his opinion, if Yu Yunxi saw Feng Yili in such a state, Yu Yunxi would definitely be willing to detoxify the poison for Feng Yili. However, contrary to his expectations, the situation seemed to have worsened.

Jiang Ying hurried into the room and asked, “Your Royal Highness, what happened between you and the Princess Consort?”

When Jiang Ying looked up, he saw Feng Yili clutching his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Your Royal Highness, your poison is acting up again?! The Princess Consort will definitely have a way! I’ll go and look for her now!” Jiang Ying said anxiously. He could not wait to chase after Yu Yunxi.

However, Feng Yili gritted his teeth and said, “No, don’t look for her.”

After saying that, Feng Yili spat out another mouthful of blood before he lost consciousness.
