Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent Chapter 39

The Ministry of War Is Making Things Difficult

“Mother, are you unhappy?”

Yu Junjin, the little bun, chewed on his flatbread as he looked at Yu Yunxi innocently.

Yu Yunxi had changed into clean clothes and was sitting in an inn. When she heard her son’s words, she forced a smile on her face and replied, “I’m fine.”

“Did soone bully you? I’ll help you to take revenge!” the little bun said as he gritted his teeth and waved his fist around.

“Nobody bullied …” Yu Yunxi said gently as she stroked her son’s head.

anwhile, Qian i pulled Qian Jiao to the side and asked, “Qian Jiao, what happened to Master?”

“I don’t know. She left the courtyard in a strange mood. Oh, that’s right. Yu Wanrong went to the courtyard as well,” Qian Jiao said as she recalled the night’s events.

“Courtyard? Yu Wanrong?”

Qian i thought about it for a mont before a thought appeared in her mind. Then, she asked, “Could it be the… Prince Regent?”

Realization dawned on Qian Jiao. After all, Yu Yunxi would only lose her composure when faced with Feng Yili.

The duo could not help but look at Yu Yunxi worriedly. They did not know what she encountered in the courtyard.

At this ti, Yu Yunxi said softly, “Junjin, I’m sorry you have to hide in the inn. I promise you that when the flood in Min Prefecture is better, I’ll send soone to escort you back to Xinan.”

The little bun nodded obediently. “There’s no rush, Mother. If possible, I want to stay in the capital with you a little longer. Uncle said that you’re doing sothing very dangerous so you have to look after yourself.”

“I will. Junjin, I promise you that I’ll stay here for a year at most. After that, I’ll return to Xinan to accompany you.”

Yu Yunxi’s mood improved a lot when she looked at her obedient son.

“Alright.”

The mother and son chatted for a long ti.

When Qian Jiao reminded Yu Yunxi that it was getting late, Yu Yunxi finally bade farewell to Yu Junjin reluctantly.

Before leaving, she turned around and said patiently, “Junjin, you have to listen to Aunt Qian i, okay?”

“I know. Mother, lower your head. I have sothing to say to you,” the little bun said as he waved at Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi leaned down.

The little bun stood on the tip of his toes and hugged her with his short arms before he whispered into her ear in a childish voice, “Mother, did Father make you angry? I’ll apologize on his behalf, okay? Don’t be sad.”

Yu Yunxi felt as though her heart had been stabbed when she heard her son’s sensible words. Her eyes reddened imdiately. She said, “Alright, I won’t be sad.”

She would not be sad for soone who was not worth it.

Yu Yunxi pinched her son’s cheek and reluctantly left.

…

Unbeknownst to Yu Yunxi, soone was watching from a corner.

An attendant asked, “Young Marquis, what are you looking at?”

Luo Xiuran folded the fan in his hand and asked with a frown, “Isn’t that Yili’s Princess Consort?”

“What? The Princess Regent?”

“That’s strange. Why did she co to the inn so late at night? Was she carrying a child? They were too far away. I couldn’t see the child’s face clearly, let alone hear them,” Luo Xiuran muttered to himself.

Luo Xiuran walked over to where Yu Yunxi was to have a look, but Qian i had already shut the door.

At this ti, Jiang Chuan suddenly rushed over. He panted and said, “Young Marquis, I finally found you! Sothing has happened to the Prince Regent!”

“What is it? Shouldn’t he be taking a dicinal bath at this ti? How did sothing happen? Hurry up and bring over!”

Luo Xiuran’s expression changed imdiately. He was no longer in the mood to care about the identity of the child and hastily left with Jiang Chuan.

…

The next morning, Yu Yunxin was woken up by a commotion. When she opened the door, she found that it was very lively in her courtyard.

Concubine Gao stared at Yu Yunxin with a venomous gaze and said sarcastically, “Oh, the Eldest Miss has woken up. The Ministry War has sent people over.”

There were dark shadows under Concubine Gao’s eyes. Clearly, she did not sleep well last night. After all, Yu Pinghua had a fever, and she took care of him the entire night. She had felt so anxious that it would be strange if she had slept well.

Old Madam Zhou leaned on her cane while another maidservant supported her. Her expression was not very good as well. She could not wait to avenge her grandson. She hit her cane on the ground and said gloomily, “After this matter with the Ministry of War is over, we’ll give justice to Pinghua.”

‘Ministry of War?

Yu Yunxi did not say anything, but her gaze was frosty.

Qian Jiao walked over and said anxiously, “County Princess, the people from the Ministry of War are here…”

Following that, Yu Wanrong led a middle-aged man dressed in official robes into the courtyard. Many armored guards followed behind them. They looked really imposing.

“Lord Huang, you’re looking for my sister. If there’s anything you need, please let know,” Yu Wanrong said softly.

“I feel sorry for having to trouble Second Miss Yu for such a small matter,” Huang Hongfu said as he stroked his beard, feigning an apologetic expression on his face.

Yu Wanrong smiled under the veil as she said, “Since the Prince Regent personally sent Lord Huang, it’s only right for to help if I can. Moreover, this matter concerns the Yu family so it concerns as well.”

Huang Hongfu said with a sigh, “The Prince Regent is really good to Second Miss Yu. Before I ca, he repeatedly told to help you and Pri Minister Yu to handle this matter properly.”

When Yu Yunxi heard the words ‘Prince Regent’, her eyelids twitched, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

At this mont, Huang Hongfu looked at Yu Yunxi with a piercing gaze and said, “This must be the County Princess of Xinan.”

Although Huang Hongfu addressed Yu Yunxi as ‘County Princess’, his tone was not polite at all. Before Yu Yunxi could speak, he continued to say, “A few days ago, you went to the Ministry of War to make a donation. This should be sothing worthy of praise. However,?you took soone else’s things for yourself and even tried to donate them to the Ministry of War so that the ministry would end up being the bad guy. You’re clearly looking down on the Ministry of War. How audacious of you!”

Yu Yunxi clenched her hands. She straightened her back and asked word by word, “Did Feng Yili ask you to say that?”

‘Feng Yili, you’re really ruthless. You just agreed to Yu Wanrong last night, but you’re already making a move today.’

anwhile, Huang Hongfu hesitated for a mont when he heard Yu Yunxi’s words. Then, he quickly raised his chin and said in an imposing manner, “Of course. The Prince Regent is in charge of the Ministry of War after all. Without his orders, I wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”

‘So it’s really him…’

Yu Yunxin lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes. She could not help but feel a little exhausted in her heart at this mont.
