Three months later.

“Your Royal Highness, why don’t we stop the search? It’s been three months, and we’ve searched many places, but we still haven’t found any traces of the Princess Consort. Perhaps that female corpse is…” Jiang Ying said with great difficulty as he looked at the back of the skinny man in front of him.

Over the past three months, the guards of the Prince Regent’s Residence had searched for Yu Yunxi tirelessly and extensively, but they had not found any traces of her. Although they were sad, they firmly believed that the female corpse was Yu Yunxi. Alas, Feng Yili was not willing to accept it.

Feng Yili slowly turned around when he heard Jiang Ying’s words. He had lost a lot of weight over the past three months. His eyes were without ripples, making it difficult for people to guess his thoughts. After a long silence, he asked hoarsely, “Where’s Junjin?”

“Your Royal Highness, the little prince has been obediently practicing calligraphy recently. It’s just that he doesn’t want to… talk to us…” Jiang Ying said in a complicated tone.

Ever since the incident, the relationship between Feng Yili and the little bun was completely broken. Apart from Qian Qing and the others, the little bun ignored everyone else.

Jiang Ying braced himself and said again, “Your Royal Highness, why don’t we stop searching for the Princess Consort?”

Jiang Ying also hoped that Yu Yunxi was alive, but..

At this time, Jiang Chuan chimed in, sounding troubled, “Your Royal Highness, ever since the Princess Consort’s accident, you’ve not dealt with the affairs of the court at all. The Emperor seized the opportunity and suppressed the troops of the Prince Regent’s Residence. The atmosphere in the court is very bad now, and many people seem to resent you…”

Feng Yili acted as though he did not hear them. Instead, he asked expressionlessly, “Have you found the whereabouts of the Imperial Preceptor?”

“No, I have not. He seemed to have been prepared for this and removed all traces of himself. Over the past three months, we’ve done everything we could, but we still couldn’t find him,” Jiang Ying replied guiltily as he shook his head. He felt useless. It had been three months, but they still could not find the Imperial Preceptor’s whereabouts. It was as though the Imperial Preceptor had vanished from the world.

Consort Qin was undoubtedly not the only one who caused Yu Yunxi’s death. The Imperial Preceptor was also involved.

At this moment, a guard rushed in and reported, “Your Royal Highness,

Consort Dowager Ning brought her men and barged into the residence.”

Feng Yili’s gaze turned cold immediately. He turned around and walked out immediately.

When Consort Dowager Ning entered the residence, she made her way to the little bun’s courtyard immediately.

Feng Yili had just arrived when he heard Consort Dowager Ning berating the little bun in a disapproving tone.

“You’re the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence, and I’m your Imperial Grandmother. You should live with me!”

The little bun lowered his head and fiddled with the wooden sword in his hand as he replied tonelessly, “Please leave. You’re not welcome here.”

Consort Dowager’s expression darkened when she saw the little bun’s attitude toward her. However, thinking that she came to take the little bun away, she could only suppress her anger and pretend to be gentle. She said, “Junjin,

Imperial Grandmother won’t harm you. Your Imperial Mother is already dead.

In the future, why don’t you live with me?”

The little bun continued to ignore Consort Dowager Ning.

After pleading a few times and getting no response, Consort Dowager Ning finally lost all her patience. She said to the elderly maid behind her coldly, “Do it. No matter what method you use, you have to bring him back with me!” “Yes.”

Seeing that these people were about to capture the little bun, Qian Qing and the others immediately stopped them.

“Consort Dowager Ning, our little master cannot leave with you!”

Consort Dowager Ning sneered. “Oh, I remember all of you. You’re Yu Yunxi’s maidservants. Why are you still here when Yu Yunxi’s already dead? What kind of bad things did you teach my grandson? Men, deal with them!”

Just as the situation was getting out of control, the guards of the Prince

Regent’s Residence rushed over. One of them said solemnly, “Consort Dowager Ning, the Prince Regent doesn’t allow the little prince to leave. If you want to take the little prince away, please discuss it with the Prince Regent first.”

Consort Dowager Ning laughed coldly when she heard this. “No need. Your Prince Regent is in a daze all day because of a woman. How can I allow my grandson to suffer here?”

Then, Consort Dowager Ning looked at the little bun and smiled meaningfully as she said, “Junjin, I already spoke to the Emperor. In a few days, your father will be betrothed. At that time, you’ll have a new mother.”

‘A new mother?’

The little bun’s expression changed drastically when he heard Consort Dowager Ning’s words. He raised his head and glared at her as he said through gritted teeth, “I only have one mother. It’s impossible for me to have another mother!”

“That’s not up to you,” Consort Dowager Ning said nonchalantly, “How can the Prince Regent not have a Princess Regent? Originally, I already felt that your mother was not worthy of your father. It’s good that she’s dead. Now I can find a better mother for you…

When the little bun heard Consort Dowager Ning’s disparaging words about his mother, he clenched his hands tightly and shouted, “Don’t speak about my mother like that!”

“Did I say anything wrong? Your Imperial Mother deserves to die,” Consort Dowager Ning continued to say, unfazed.

At this moment, a voice said from the entrance, “Little White, it’s your turn to perform.”

Following that, a white figure leaped over toward Consort Dowager Ning. Consort Dowager Ning’s men panicked when they saw the white tiger.

“Protect the Consort Dowager!”

“Quick! Protect the Consort Dowager!”

Little White’s task was very simple. It had to teach Consort Dowager Ning a lesson. It chased after her relentlessly, and it did not take long for her to be in a sorry state. Her hair was disheveled, and she even sprained her ankle. When she finally saw Feng Yili, who was standing nearby, she shouted in a shrill voice, “Yili, hurry up and help Imperial Mother kill this beast!”

However, not only did Feng Yili not help her, but he even said to Little White, “You can do whatever you want as long as you don’t kill anyone. If anything happens, I’ll take the responsibility for you.”

With these words, Little White became even more unscrupulous.

Consort Dowager shrieked, both in anger and fear. She finally understood that

Feng Yili was the one who had set the tiger loose on her. She scolded, “Feng Yili, you’ll be punished by heaven and sent to hell for treating your mother like this!”

“Sent to hell? I’m already in hell,” Feng Yili said mockingly. Ever since Yu Yunxi disappeared from his life, he had been living in hell.

In the end, Consort Dowager Ning was finally taken away, barely conscious.

Feng Yili did not even spare a glance at her. He walked over to the little bun slowly.

Before Feng Yili could say anything, the little bun said angrily, “Don’t think that I’ll forgive you just because of this! I still hate you!”

‘The little prince actually…’

When Jiang Ying saw the wooden sword that had broken in half, his heart sank.

The wooden sword was personally made by Feng Yili for the little bun because Feng Yili was worried the little bun would be injured while practicing martial arts.

Just as Jiang Ying was about to pick the broken sword up, Feng Yili stopped him and said, “I’ll do it…”

After that, Feng Yili picked the broken wooden sword up from the ground. At the same time, he muttered softly, “Junjin doesn’t like me. When are you going to come back? Let’s take care of Junjin together…”

When they heard Feng Yili’s words, Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan were worried.

“Your Royal Highness..

At this moment, a guard walked over and reported, “Your Royal Highness, the King of Xinan’s Residence rejected our letter.”

Feng Yili’s expression did not change when he heard this. It was as though he had already expected this.

After Yu Yunxi’s accident, Shen Si, his wife, and Shen Hezhi came. At that time, the relationship between the Prince Regent’s Residence and the King of Xinan’s Residence deteriorated greatly. It only worsened when Feng Yili stopped them from bringing the little bun back to Xinan.

Over the past three months, all the letters Feng Yili sent to Xinan were sent back. Clearly, the King of Xinan’s Residence hated him to the core. However, he felt that he deserved it. He failed to protect Yu Yunxi after all.

The guard continued to say, “Your Royal Highness, I have good news as well.

Our people have found traces of the Imperial Preceptor.”

“Where?” Feng Vili turned hostile immediately.

“The capital of Xichu..”
