Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent Chapter 17

Her New Identity

“Isn’t the concubine’s daughter of the Yu family?!”

“Isn’t she dead?”

“Ghost!”

So timid people even wanted to run away at this mont.

Yu Yunxi covered her mouth and laughed. Then, she smiled sweetly, raising the mole at the corner of her eye. She looked like a painting co to life at this mont. She said, “If you didn’t do anything wrong, there’s no need to run away. Right, Father?”

Yu Yunxi walked over step by step. Her slender waist moved as she took small steps. Her fair wrists were exposed as she moved. She looked ethereal.

At this ti, soone shouted, “She has a shadow! She’s not a ghost!”

With this, everyone returned to their senses.

Similar to the others, Yu Zhongcheng had been stunned as well. He was in a trance because he seed to have seen the woman who appeared in his dream every night, demanding his life and asking why he had killed their daughter. When he returned to his senses, his expression darkened, and he bellowed, “Who’s so bold to play tricks in my residence? n, chase her out!”

Based on these words, it was clear to everyone that Yu Zhongcheng did not intend to acknowledge the other person’s identity. Many of them recognized her imdiately when they saw her so how could Yu Zhongcheng not recognize her? It was clearly a deliberate move. Although they did not know how a dead person ca back to life, they understood Yu Zhongcheng’s thoughts. After all, Yu Zhengchong’s illegitimate daughter, the forr Princess Consort, was a sinner and almost implicated the Yu family. It was not surprising that he refused to acknowledge her.

anwhile, Jiang Yi’s eyes reddened as soon as he saw Yu Yunxi. “Y-Your Royal Highness, that’s the Princess Consort! She’s not dead, she’s really not dead!”

It was only natural that Jiang Yi was emotional. After all, back then, he and Yu Yunxi had risked their lives to save Feng Yili. He really wanted to call out to her at this mont, but since Feng Yili had yet to make his stance clear, he did not dare to act recklessly.

After listening to Jiang Ying’s words, Feng Yili only calmly sipped from his teacup. He seed even colder than before. He did not even spare Yu Yunxi a glance.

Everyone was not surprised by Feng Yili’s reaction. After all, in their opinion, he probably could not wait to kill her. Why would he acknowledge her?

Unbeknownst to everyone, under Feng Yili’s cold and indifferent facade, he was holding the teacup so tightly that faint hairline cracks had already appeared on it. In the depths of his eyes where no one could see, his emotions surged.

At this mont, the servants of the Yu family rushed over fiercely, preparing to drag Yu Yunxi away.

At the critical mont, a tall and aloof woman with her hair tied up suddenly appeared next to Yu Yunxi and subdued the servants with just a few moves.

Madam Chen rose to her face and said gloomily, “Impudent! How dare you act so audaciously in the Pri Minister’s Residence? Hurry up and send them to prison!”

The woman sneered and said, “You’re the impudent one! She’s the new County Princess; a Princess of the Fourth Rank. She’s the goddaughter of the King of Xinan. How can you be so rude?”

Following that, the woman brought the token of the King Xinan’s Residence.

‘The goddaughter of the King of Xinan?’

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The King of Xinan was an inherited title. In the past, the original King of Xinan fought for the Imperial Family. After the country was stabilized, he took the initiative and requested to guard Xinan, the southwest border. For many years, it was peaceful.

However, thirty years ago, the new King of Xinan inherited the title. He trained his soldiers in the southwest, and it did not take long before rumors of a rebellion began to spread.

Needless to say, the Emperor could not sit still. For this reason, a few days ago, the Emperor had invited the legitimate son of the King of Xinan to the capital to stay. Everyone knew that this was just a disguised way to hold soone hostage. However, after so twists and turns, the one that was sent was not the legitimate son of the King of Xinan. Instead, the King of Xinan’s goddaughter was sent to the capital instead.

It was said that the King of Xinan adopted a daughter four years ago. The woman was very mysterious, but the King of Xinan doted on her. Before she was sent to the capital, the King of Xinan personally wrote to the Emperor to confer her the position of a Princess of the Fourth Rank, a County Princess.

Everyone was shocked. Did this an that the new County Princess was the concubine’s daughter from the Yu family and the forr Princess Consort? This was too shocking and sudden that no one could react for a mont.

anwhile, Feng Weizhou narrowed his eyes and sized Yu Yunxi up.

Compared to five years ago, Yu Yunxi’s bearing was more imposing now. At this mont, her gaze was cold as she looked at everyone.

At this mont, Madam Chen shouted, “The goddaughter of the King of Xinan? Ha, you really know how to lie! n, send them to prison!”

Madam Chen could not accept that the lowly concubine’s daughter managed to fake her death and escaped years ago. She found it even harder to accept that the other party had beco a County Princess.

Yu Yunxi was not angered by Madam Chen’s words. Instead, she smiled, making her bright eyes curve slightly. She said lightly, “It’s been five years, but you haven’t changed at all, Madam.”

Then, Yu Yunxi sneered and brought a letter out before she said, “Qian Jiao, bring this to the Crown Prince.”

“Yes.” Qian Jiao nodded and brought the letter to Feng Weizhou.

Yu Yunxi said lightly, “The Crown Prince has been by the Emperor’s side for so many years so he should recognize the King of Xinan’s handwriting.”

Just as Feng Weizhou received the letter, a cold voice rang from the other side.

“There’s no need to look. That’s the token of the King of Xinan’s Residence.”

Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and gulped when they realized it was Feng Yili who had spoken. At the sa ti, they were confused. Feng Yili seed to be speaking up for Yu Yunxi; what did this an?

Yu Yunxi was also slightly stunned. She could not help but turn to look at Feng Yili, only to et a pair of dark eyes. Her heart was inexplicably moved. Five years had passed, and the edges of his face seed sharper, and he seed more mature. However, when she thought about the rumors she had heard over the years, her expression turned icy imdiately. She looked away as though he was just a stranger.

Feng Weizhou glanced at the letter. He coughed and said gently, “This is indeed the handwriting of the King of Xinan.”

Silence descended imdiately.

This ant that Yu Yunxi was truly the goddaughter of the King of Xinan.

The hearts of Yu Zhongcheng, Madam Chen, and Yu Wanrong; who was wearing a veil, seed to have been stabbed by a knife.

‘This sl*t really has the protection of the King of Xinan!’

After a long silence, Yu Yunxi chuckled and said slowly, “Madam, there’s no need to be nervous. After all, we’re family. I won’t take your rudeness to heart.”

Then, as though she had just thought sothing, Yu Yunxi patted her head and said, “Oh, how could I forget? It seems that the Pri Minister has already publicly announced that I’m no longer his daughter. How could I have said that we’re family? It makes it look as though I’m trying to climb the social ladder.”

At this ti, Qian Jiao said, “County Princess, don’t be sad. Although these people abandoned you, we; the people of Xinan, treasure you. The King, his consort, and the young master would feel distressed if you’re sad.”

Everyone could hear the underlying aning behind Qian Jiao’s words.

Yu Zhongcheng’s face turned red in anger. He said through gritted teeth, “Since you’re here, take a seat.”

“Although Pri Minister Yu doesn’t acknowledge as his daughter, I once called you ‘Father’ after all. Before I take a seat, let present you with the gift that I’ve prepared.”

As soon as Yu Yunxi’s voice fell, a few servants carried a huge object in. It was wrapped in a cloth, and no one could tell what was inside.

When the cloth was pulled away, Yu Zhongcheng’s expression darkened imdiately.

The others were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound at all. This was because Yu Yunxi had given Yu Zhongcheng a huge

golden bell

.

In Chinese, bell is ‘钟’, pronounced as zhōng. It sounds the sa as ‘终’, also pronounced as zhōng, which ans the end or death. 送钟, pronounced as sòng zhōng, loosely ans giving a bell; and 送终, also pronounced sòng zhōng, ans attending funerals. As such, it’s considered inauspicious to give bells as a gift.
