After a while, the door slowly opened. However, Yu Yunxi and the others were nowhere to be seen. Only Qian Jiao was left guarding this place.

“General Yu, please co in,” Qian Jiao said coldly.

Seeing this, Feng Weiping and Chen Kui also wanted to follow Yu Yongnian in. However, Qian Jiao shot the guards a look, and they imdiately stopped the duo.

After a while, the door slowly opened, but Yun Xi and the others were no longer behind the door. Only Qian Jiao was guarding here.

“How dare you stop !” Feng Weiping was infuriated. Originally, she thought that with the imperial edict, she would be able to suppress Yu Yunxi and vent her anger. Unexpectedly, she was humiliated by Yu Yunxi again. She turned around and said to her guards, “n, tear down the door of the King of Xinan’s

Residence.”

Just as the guards were about to rush over, Qiao Jiao calmly said, “Fourth Princess, it’s best that you think carefully before you make a move. Are the hundred or so guards you brought stronger, or are the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Xinan stronger?”

“What? Is the King of Xinan’s Residence planning to rebel?” Feng Weiping asked indignantly. Her face was red due to the anger.

“If that’s what the Fourth Princess thinks, then so be it,” Qian Jiao said with a sneer.

“Presumptuous!” Chen Kui said. His expression was extrely unsightly. It had only been a few months, but it seed like the King of Xinan’s Residence did not even bother to keep up pretenses anymore.

“Uncle, Fourth Princess, I’ve said before that if you can’t put down your arrogance, there’s no point in coming to Xinan. Have you forgotten?” Yu Yongnian said helplessly.

“I, I…” Feng Weiping’s voice gradually weakened.

Yu Yongnian turned back to look at Qian Jiao and said, “Qian Jiao, right? I rember you. You’re my eldest sister’s maidservant. It’s truly inconvenient for my uncle and the Fourth Princess to stay in another place outside of the King of Xinan’s Residence. Can you ask my eldest sister if she’s willing to let all of us in?”

Yu Yongnian’s tone was neither servile nor overbearing. He naturally did not have Feng Weiping and Chen Kui’s arrogance.

At this mont, Qian i walked over and whispered sothing into Wian

Jiao’s ear. Then, Qian Jiao opened the door and said icily, “Co in.”

Feng Weiping was still angry, but seeing that Yu Yongnian had walked in, she could only grit her teeth and follow him.

Chen Kui, who ca to Xinan to protect Feng Weiping, could only put his pride aside and follow Feng Weiping in.

When they arrived at the hall, Yu Yunxi was already seated. Feng Yili was seated next to her. She picked up her teacup and took a sip before she lowered her voice and asked, “Didn’t I tell you not to follow ? Why did you co?”

“What if they bully my Princess Consort when I’m not around?” Feng Yili replied lightly as he smoothed the crease on his sleeve.

Yu Yunxi choked on the tea and coughed when she heard these words.

Feng Yili quickly patted her back when he saw this.

This was also the scene that Yu Yongnian, Feng Weiping, and Chen Kui saw when they arrived at the hall.

“So the rumors are true. Ninth Imperial Uncle, you really abandoned governnt affairs and ran to Xinan,” Feng Weiping said in a low voice. Her voice was filled with resentnt. In her opinion, she was Feng Yili’s niece, but she had suffered so much earlier, and Feng Yili did not appear at all. How could she not feel resentful?

“Didn’t you leave behind all the comforts of the palace and ca to Xinan? If you can co, why can’t I?” Feng Yili asked frostily.

“Ninth Imperial Uncle!”

Feng Weiping did not expect that Feng Yili would speak to her so harshly.

Upon hearing her husband’s mocking words, Yu Yunxi could not help but glance at him. Then, she said calmly, “Since you’re here, take a seat.”

Feng Weiping was still angry. She continued to question Feng Yili, “Ninth Imperial Uncle, you’re a mber of the imperial family. How can you side with outsiders against ?”

“Outsiders? I’m the son-in-law of the King of Xinan. Is it not my duty to protect the King of Xinan’s Residence?” Feng Yili asked expressionlessly.

“Ninth Imperial Uncle, you..

“What else do you have to say? Say it, and then leave,” Feng Yili said impatiently.

Seeing that Feng Yili had no intention of helping her, Feng Weiping could only grit her teeth and sit quietly at the side.

Chen Kui did not want to suffer any more humiliation than necessary so he said directly, “County Princess, where’s the King of Xinan? Please ask him to co out so we can discuss ways to deal with Nanyue. Moreover, I also have the imperial edict.”

“I’m sorry, but my godfather wants to handle this matter. If you have anything to say, you can say it to ,” Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly.

“You…” Chen Kui’s anger flared up again. He took a deep breath before he said through gritted teeth, “Very well. Kneel down and accept the imperial edict.”

Yu Yunxi yawned and said weakly, “I caught a cold recently, and my knees are also injured. I’m sorry, General Chen, but I won’t be kneeling.”

When Feng Yili heard this, he only raised his brows slightly. His expression clearly showed that he was willing to indulge Yu Yunxi.

Chen Kui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. However, he knew there was nothing he could do to Yu Yunxi now. As such, he could only read the imperial edict.

The edict was nothing more than the Emperor asking the King of Xinan to bring the spoils of war to the capital. The peace negotiation with Nanyue could only be held in the capital, not Xinan.

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly when she heard this. The Emperor was really well-prepared. He even thought about their spoils of war. The so-called spoils of war were nothing more than Nan Xun.

Yu Yunxi put the teacup down and said disdainfully, “From the beginning until the end, it was Xinan who drove Nanyue away. Isn’t the imperial court embarrassed to co here at this ti to claim credit?”

“How dare you! Xinan is the territory of Tianxia! It’s your duty to defend against foreign forces! What credit do you want?” Chen Kui berated as he slamd his hand on the table.

“Well, if you want to bring Nan Xun back to the capital for the peace negotiation, it’s not impossible…” Yu Yunxi suddenly said.

Chen Kui was delighted, but his mood fell again the next mont.

“Although Xinan is a long way from the capital, it’s quite fast to send a letter through a pigeon. I’ll have to trouble General Chen to write to the Emperor. If he wants to achieve his goal, he’ll have to show sincerity.”

‘Sincerity? Nonsense!’

It was the duty of a county like Xinan to send captives to the capital, but Yu Yunxi wanted the Emperor to show his sincerity. It was simply ridiculous.

“Is General Chen unwilling? That’s fine. However, I’ll have to ask you to leave,”

Yu Yunxi said.

“You…”

The atmosphere grew even more tense when Yu Yongnian suddenly said,

“Eldest Sister, can you tell what kind of sincerity the King of Xinan’s Residence wants from the Emperor? I can only write to the Emperor after I know that.”

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow when she heard these words, and her eyes flashed.

‘Whose side is Third Brother on?’
