At this moment, the little bun noticed Yu Yongnian. He patted Feng Yili’s shoulder and asked, “Father, can you put me down?”

After Feng Yili put him down, the little bun ran over to Yu Yongnian with his short legs. He said, “Uncle, long time no see.”

Yu Yongnian coughed awkwardly and said, “It’s not been that long…”

Yu Yongnian could not help but look at the little bun a few more times. He found the little bun very cute.

“Uncle, are you going to return to the capital on horseback?” the little bun asked curiously.

“Yes. I’m a general so I have to protect everyone’s safety as we travel back to the capital, ” Yu Yongnian explained seriously.

“I see…” the little bun said as he nodded. After a moment, he raised his head and asked excitedly with an expectant gaze, “Uncle, can I ride with you? Can you bring me along? I want to ride a horse…”

“You want to ride the horse?” Yu Yongnian asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, to be precise, I’ll just sit on the back of the horse,” the little bun said, filled with anticipation.

“No, it’s too dangerous for you to sit on the horse’s back,” Yu Yongnian said, decisively refusing the little bun.

At this moment, Feng Yili walked over and slowly said, “There’s no harm in

General Yu agreeing to Junjin’s request.”

Yu Yongnian’s stance did not change even after he heard Feng Yili’s words. He said, “It’s very dangerous. Eldest Sister, she…”

Yu Yunxi, who had also walked over, said, “I don’t have any objections. Junjin isn’t as weak as you think. When we were in the army, I often let him ride with me. He won’t be a burden to you, and I also believe you in your horsemanship.”

Yu Yunxi could tell that the little bun liked Yu Yongnian. As such, she did not plan to disappoint the little bun.

Since the little bun’s parents did not have any objection, Yu Yongnian pulled the little bun up on the horse’s back. Then, he said, “We’re in a hurry to return to the capital so we’ll be riding very fast later. You have to hold on tight, understand?”

Yu Yongnian initially wanted to speak seriously, but in the end, his voice was very gentle when he spoke to the little bun.

“I understand uncle,” the little bun replied softly before he held onto Yu Yongnian.

Meanwhile, Feng Weiping, who was sitting in the carriage, heard Yu Yongnian’s voice. She had rarely heard Yu Yongnian sound so gentle when he spoke. She could not help but lift the curtain carefully. When she saw the warm scene, she was instantly infuriated. She took one look at the little bun, and she knew that he was the legendary bast*rd that everyone was talking about in the capital.

When she came to Xinan, Feng Weiping learned that Yu Yunxi had given birth to a son for Feng Yili. She did not expect it to be true.

‘That b*tch, Yu Yunxi, will be able to rely on her bast*rd son to become a noble. At that time, she’ll be even more difficult to deal with…

Feng Weiping’s expression was dark as she pulled the curtain down.

At this time, Luo Xiuran, Qian Qing, Liu Xiaolan, Gao Shixuan, Jian Xin, and the others also came out of the King of Xinan’s Residence.

Gao Shixuan approached Yu Yunxi and said guiltily, “I can only travel with you back to the capital because I want to find Zixiu. You won’t mind, right?”

“Of course not. Miss Gao, you worry too much,” Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly. Then, she turned and asked Qian Jiao, “Qiao Jiao, has the carriage been prepared for Miss Gao and Young Master Liu?”

“Yes, County Princess.”

Yu Yunxi nodded. Then, she walked past Gao Shixuan and Liu Xiaolan, making her way to Jian Xin. She said in a low voice, “Sister Jian, it’s fine if you want to stay in Xinan. Who said you have to go back to the capital?”

The capital was a sad place for Jian Xin so they did not want her to return to the capital. It was good for her to stay in Xinan. Moreover, Jiang Ru liked her a lot.

Jian Xin shook her head and said gently, “I want to go with all of you. Qian Qing is all have I left now. I want to stay with her for as long as I can. Moreover, there are also you and Junjin. I want to see the both of you attaining happiness with my own eyes…”

Yu Yunxi was touched by these words. She sighed and said, “Alright. Let’s go back to the capital together then..”

After that, Yu Yunxi asked Qian Qing to prepare a carriage for Jian Xin as well. ‘All the arrangements have been made… Now, there’s only…’

Yu Yunxi looked at the carriage in the middle with a cold gaze. The carriage was different from the others; it had been custom-made. She strode over and lifted the curtain, revealing Nan Xun who was bound. She said tonelessly, “Crown Prince Nan, you’ll have to hold on during the journey. When we reach the capital, Nanyue will be able to bring you back.”

Nan Xun glanced at her and said coldly, “So? Should I thank you for not killing

“Oh, you’re welcome,” Yu Yunxi said, not paying any attention to Nan Xun. After she pulled the curtain down, she said to Qian Ji seriously, “You have to keep a close watch on this carriage.”

“Yes, County Princess.”

Finally, when everything was ready, Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili mounted their horses. A white tiger with a white cat on its back stood next to them.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

They traveled at full speed day and night, drawing closer and closer to the capital.

Jiang Ying rode to Feng Yili’s side and said, “Your Royal Highness, at this speed, we’ll arrive in the capital in fewer than two days.”

Yu Yunxi looked at the sky and said with a frown, “The weather doesn’t look too good. I’m afraid it’ll rain tonight. Let’s find a place to rest first.”

Feng Yili nodded. “Alright.”

“Your Royal Highness, earlier I saw an inn up ahead when I went to scout around,” Jiang Ying said.

Feng Yili looked at the travel-weary soldiers before he said, “Lead the way.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

It did not take long for them to arrive in front of an inn. Although the inn was a little old, it was very lively inside. This was not surprising since it was located on the road that led to the capital. There was only one inn here so the business was naturally good.

Feng Yili lifted the curtain of a carriage and carried the sleeping little bun down. He said to Yu Yunxi in a deep voice, “Both of you rest well tonight. I’ll guard the door for you.”

“You’ve been traveling just like us. You should rest as well,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head. She did not agree with Feng Yili. However, the meaning behind Feng Yili’s words dawned on her after that, and she immediately asked, “Feng Yili, do you suspect there’ll be in danger tonight?”

“I hope my intuition is wrong… It’s unsettling that the journey has been so smooth until now,” Feng Yili said, shaking his head.

“That’s because the magistrates from all the provinces sent people to clear the way for us. No one dares to kidnap Nanxun at all,” Yu Yunxi said reassuringly. She did not want Feng Yili to worry too much.

“But what if their target is not Nan Xun?” Feng Yili asked slowly.

‘Their target is not Nan Xun? What does he mean?’

Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched before she asked, shocked, “Are you saying that some people might target me?”

“Yes. Do you remember me telling you about how Consort Qin sent people to kill you?”

“Of course, I remember.’

“At that time, I wanted to interrogate those assassins, but almost all of them committed suicide by poison. There was only one person who didn’t do so. Before dying, the other party said that Consort Qin would not let you return to the capital alive no matter what,” Feng Yili said with a grim expression on his face..
