Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent Chapter 10
The Crown Prince Offers Her the Position of a Side Consort
Upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Feng Weizhou was surprisingly not angry. Instead, he laughed. He rose to his feet and looked at her aningfully as he asked, “Are you jealous because I ca with Wanrong today?”
‘What? A b*tch and a scumbag are a match made in heaven. What’s there to be jealous of? Is there sothing wrong with his brain?’
Yu Yunxi frowned.
Feng Weizhou knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, “Yunxi, my promise to you still stands…”
Yu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, “Promise? Crown Prince, are you referring to your promise to marry as your concubine?”
Speaking of this matter, Yu Yunxi really felt like stabbing Feng Weizhou. Everyone said that the Crown Prince was gentle and refined; he was like the moon and a light breeze. Many won were secretly in love with him. Perhaps, she was the only one who thought that he was a hypocrite.
When Yu Yunxi’s mother was still alive, she had saved three prominent figures’ lives with her dical skills. They were the Great Ancestor, the current Empress, and her ‘good’ father. Her mother was good at everything, but she had terrible judgnt. The people she saved were all terrible people.
Back then, when the Empress was poisoned in the harem, her mother had asked for a promise from the Empress before treating the Empress. She wanted the Empress to help them if they ever got into trouble in the Pri Minister’s Residence.
Apart from that, when Yu Yunxi was young, she had followed her mother into the Imperial Palace. One ti, she saved Feng Weizhou from drowning.
However, when her mother was forced to die in the Pri Minister’s Residence, the Empress did not do anything.
Then, the night before she got married, she knelt outside of the Eastern Palace and begged the mother and son to save her.
Unexpectedly, at that ti, Feng Weizhou appeared in front of her and said, “If you beco my concubine, I’ll help you.”
At this ti, Yu Yunxi dismissed the thoughts in her mind. She said expressionlessly, “Your Royal Highness, I thank you for your kindness. However, I’m afraid I don’t have such a fortune to be your concubine.”
Feng Weizhou narrowed his eyes and said, sounding slightly dissatisfied, “Do you feel wronged to be my concubine?”
“Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like an immortal. Soone like you is not common people like can dream of. Moreover, being a concubine and letting my children suffer humiliation aren’t sothing I can tolerate,” Yu Yunxi calmly replied.
Yu Yunxi had seen her mother’s hardships, and she was determined to walk in her mother’s footsteps.
Feng Weizhou’s expression was icy, but his eyes burned with anger. He said, “So you rather be Ninth Imperial Uncle’s wife and die along with him?”
“Crown Prince, please be careful with your words. My husband is very tough. He won’t die so easily,” Yu Yunxi retorted.
“‘My husband’? You’ve only been married to him for three days, and you’re already so protective of him?” Feng Weizhou asked, growing more and more displeased.
“His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is my husband. He’s a valiant hero, capable of supporting the sky and the earth. His looks, intelligence, and talents are all top-notch. I naturally like a man like him. What’s so strange about being protective of him?” Yu Yunxi retorted. Although she did not know Feng Yili and had never interacted with him, she felt that he was definitely much better than a hypocritical gentleman like Feng Weizhou.
Feng Weizhou’s expression darkened imdiately. After a long ti, he laughed angrily and said, “Forget it. Since you dislike the status of a concubine, what if I give you the position of a side consort? I’ll think of a way to bring you away from this place. After that, I’ll change your identity and let you enter the Eastern Palace.”
Then, after a brief pause, Feng Weizhou said, “However, you have to give sothing in return.”
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, “What is it?”
Considering the dire straits she was in, Yu Yunxi really could not think of anything that was worthy of the Crown Prince’s attention.
On the other hand, upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Feng Weizhou thought that she was tempted by his offer. He quickly said, “I rember that your mother left you a piece of warm jade back then. As long as you give it to , I’ll bring you to the Eastern Palace tomorrow.”
‘Warm jade?’
Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched violently upon hearing these words. She pursed her red lips as she wondered why Feng Weizhou was interested in her mother’s warm jade. After a mont, she asked with a frown, “Why do you want the jade?”
“You don’t have to care about this,” Feng Weizhou said curtly, unwilling to elaborate.
“Oh, I’m sorry for disappointing Your Royal Highness. I won’t give the things my mother left away,” Yu Yunxi said tonelessly.
“Yu Yunxi!” Feng Weizhou was annoyed by how stubborn Yu Yunxi was.
“Crown Prince, it’s ti for you to take your leave. I have to feed His Royal Highness the Prince Regent his dicine now,” Yu Yunxi said.
After staring at Yu Yunxi for a while, Feng Weizhou finally left in a huff.
When Yu Yunxi looked, she was Yu Wanrong standing behind a big tree in the courtyard. Her face was twisted into an unsightly expression, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted until it was almost torn. It was obvious that she had heard Feng Weizhou’s earlier words.
After a mont, Yu Wanrong took a deep breath. She strode over with delicate steps and forced a smile on her face as she asked gently, “Sister, the jade that the Crown Prince earlier… Is it the one that you took from Mother?”
“Took? You an that it’s returned to its rightful owner, right?” Yu Yunxi said mockingly.
Yu Wanrong’s smile froze, but she quickly regained her composure. She said in a coquettish tone, “It’s just a jade pendant. Sister, can you give it to ? I’ll exchange it with other things, okay?”
Yu Wanrong did not know why Feng Weizhou wanted the jade pendant, but she would not allow Yu Yunxi use it to for a chance to enter the Eastern Palace. In her opinion, Feng Weizhi was hers. No one could snatch him from her.
Yu Yunxi found it funny when she looked at Yu Wanrong who could not conceal her jealousy. She said derisively, “Yu Wanrong, instead of guarding against , you should try to use your brain more to get what you want. There are so many young ladies from noble families in the capital, and all of them are more than qualified to be the Crown Princess. Apart from that, based on the fact that your surna is Yu and you’re the Pri Minister’s daughter, the Emperor definitely won’t grant you marriage with the Crown Prince.”
After saying these sharp words, Yu Yunxi slamd the door shut, causing Yu Wanrong to go crazy with anger outside.
Now that Yu Yunxi was alone in the room, she stood at the side of the Cold Jade Coffin and carefully pulled the collar of Feng Yili’s robe to the side. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the jade was still there.
‘Fortunately, Feng Weizhou didn’t discover it… However, why does he want the jade?’
Yu Yunxi recalled her mother’s words about the jade being able to save her during critical monts, and she grew even more suspicious.
“Princess Consort…”
At this ti, Jiang Yi climbed in through the window again.
Yu Yunxi returned to her senses and quickly placed the jade pendant on Feng Yili’s chest again.
“Princess Consort, are you okay?” Jiang Ying asked worriedly. Clearly, he knew about what had happened in the hall.
“I’m fine,” Yu Yunxi replied casually.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Yu Yunxi made a shush gesture to Jiang Ying before she went to open the door.
A maidservant stood outside with a bowl of dicine and said, “Princess Consort, this is His Royal Highness’ dicine.”
“Okay…”
Things were easier without Nanny Liu’s presence.
Jiang Ying carried Feng Yili out of the coffin without needing Yu Yunxi’s instructions.
“Take his clothes off,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Huh?” Jiang Ying was stunned.
“What? How am I going to perform acupuncture on him if you don’t take his clothes off? Hurry up.”
“Yes, Princess Consort,” Jiang Ying replied hastily. Yu Yunxi’s imposing manner made him feel as though he was facing Feng Yili for a mont. He did as he was told, and Feng Yili was quickly stripped down to his underwear in just a blink of an eye.
Yu Yunxi brought out the things she needed for the acupuncture treatnt. When she turned around and saw Feng Yili, her heart sank slightly and her expression turned complicated.
