“It’s nothing.”

Yu Yunxi shook her head and focused on examining Feng Wei’an’s wounds.

Soon, Qian Jiao and Jiang Ying returned with the medicine.

Yu Yunxi busied herself for an hour before she was finally done treating Feng Wei’an.

Jiang Ying asked softly, “Your Royal Highness, should we report this to the Emperor?”

“No need. Even if I report this to my brother, he won’t care about his life,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice. With these words, Feng Wei’an’s situation was very obvious.

Yu Yunxi sighed softly, thinking, ‘The imperial family is really heartless.’

She looked at Feng Wei’an, who was still unconscious, before she looked at Feng Yili and asked, “So where should we send him?”

“I’ll send him back to Prince An’s Residence. Yunxi, you should go home first. You must be very tired,” Feng Yili said.

“No, I’ll go with you. His injuries are very serious so I still have to keep an eye on him,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head. She was determined to follow Feng Yili. Apart from keeping an eye on Feng Wei’an’s injuries, she also wanted to ask him a few questions when he woke up.

‘Why does he have the symbol of Xinan’s guards at his waist?’

Feng Yili did not stop Yu Yunxi, seeing how determined she was. He said to Jiang Ying, “Let’s go to Prince An’s Residence.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Feng Wei’an’s two guards were not seriously injured, and they had been waiting at the side. They kneeled and kowtowed to Feng Yili.

“How did this happen?” Feng Yili asked solemnly.

“Prince Regent, our master received a letter earlier. Someone asked him to come out, and unexpectedly, we encountered a group of assassins,” one of the guards quickly replied.

‘A letter?’

Feng Yili’s eyes flashed. Then, he continued to ask, “Who was the person who invited your master out?”

“Prince Regent, our master didn’t tell us. He only told us to follow him. We don’t even know where he was going.”

Yu Yunxi sighed. “It seems like we can only wait for the Third Prince to wake up before we can find out the truth.’

“Let’s go to his residence first,” Feng Yili said as he held Yu Yunxi’s hand and led her into the carriage.

Although the smell of blood had yet to dissipate in the carriage, the duo did not care about it at this moment.

Yu Yunxi looked at Feng Yili and asked curiously, “Feng Yili, who do you think plotted against the Third Prince?”

“It’s too hard to guess. Based on the Third Prince’s usual performance, not many people view him as a threat,” Feng Yili replied, shaking his head. A hint of doubt could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

Feng Wei’an’s mother did not come from a prominent family so Feng Wei’an was without support. He also kept a very low profile in court. He never took the initiative to fight for anything. The other princes did not take him seriously and would not waste time plotting to kill him.

Yu Yunxi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, “By the way, when Feng Weirui was demoted to a commoner, didn’t the Emperor deliberately support the Third Prince to suppress Feng Weizhou and the Empress? Perhaps it’s because of that matter that one of the princes sent people to assassinate him?”

Feng Yili shook his head. “Previously, Imperial Brother deliberately handed fifty thousand soldiers in the capital’s military camp to the Third Prince. However, in the short month that the Third Prince was in charge of the troops, reports of internal strife, negligence in training, and violations of military laws frequently appeared in court. The camp was also in a terrible state. When Imperial Brother specially went to look at the military camp, he was almost accidentally injured. As a result, he was so angry that he took back the military power from the Third Prince.”

Feng Yili shook his head and continued to say in a complicated tone, “Apart from that, Imperial Brother wanted to show off the Third Prince’s talents previously. He asked the Third Prince a few questions about how to govern the country, but the Third Prince’s answers were not satisfactory at all…”

‘If that’s the case, no wonder the Emperor neglects Feng Wei’an so much… It’s only natural that the Emperor dislikes a prince without any ability.’

Yu Yunxi was silent for a long time before she raised her head and asked seriously, “Is it really possible for there to be someone so weak and incompetent in the imperial family?”

Feng Yili replied slowly, “That’s right. I’ve thought about this as well. If the

Third Prince is really so incompetent, he shouldn’t be able to live until now…”

Although Feng Wei’an was not a threat to the other princes now, before his incompetence was revealed, many people would not be able to tolerate his existence as a prince.

For example, many of the Emperor’s princes were killed before they were even born. Some were killed when they were only a few years old, and some were killed in their teens.

On the contrary, Feng Wei’an, who was without protection, was actually able to live until now. It was both suspicious and miraculous.

“By the way, I found something on his body earlier,” Yu Yunxi said, intending to tell Feng Yili about her earlier discovery.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ying said, “Prince Regent, Princess Regent, we’ve arrived at Prince An’s Residence.”

‘Forget it. Let’s talk about that another time…”

When Yu Yunxi got out of the carriage and saw Prince An’s Residence, her emotions were very complicated.

Prince An’s Residence was extremely ordinary. Even the residences of ordinary officials in the capitals were better than his.

When Feng Yili alighted from the carriage and saw Yu Yunxi’s expression, he said lightly, “Normally, when a prince reaches a certain age, he’ll move out of the imperial palace and establish his own residence outside. The residences are usually bestowed by the Emperor or built using their own money…”

“The Emperor didn’t bestow him a residence, and he doesn’t have money so…

he could only live here?” Yu Yunxi said, feeling even more complicated.

At this moment, Jiang Ying and the others carried Feng Wei’an inside.

A young woman, whose hairstyle was that of a married woman, walked out with a maidservant. When she saw Feng Wei’an, she asked tremblingly, “Prince

Regent, what happened?”

“He’s injured, but his life is not in danger,” Feng Yili replied lightly.

Yu Yunxi tugged at Feng Yili’s sleeve slightly, wanting to ask about the woman’s identity.

Before Feng Yili could speak, the young woman stepped forward and said with a bow, “You must be the Princess Regent. Greetings, Prince Regent, Princess Regent.’
