The maidservant panted as she bowed and said, “Greetings, Eldest Princess.”

Yu Yunxi recognized the other party as Qu Yu’s maidservant. Earlier when they were in Fengyi Palace, the other party had been outside the main hall. She said solemnly, “There’s no need to be so polite. Since you’ve come to me, have you found out the whereabouts of your young miss?”

“Yes, I have, Eldest Princess. The young miss left Fengyi Palace not long after she was summoned there. She left the palace and went to Duke Qin’s Residence,” the maidservant quickly replied.

“She went to Duke Qin’s Residence?” Yu Yunxi frowned.

Yu Yunxi finally relaxed a little when she heard these words. She said patiently, “Alright, I understand. Tell your young miss to take care of herself. Just pretend that those people don’t exist.”

“Yes, Eldest Princess.”

Yu Yunxi strolled around for a long time. When the time was up, she left to inspect the food.

When Yu Yunxi arrived, the food was already laid out.

An old eunuch stepped forward and said respectfully, “Eldest Princess, the food is all here. Please inspect them.”

Yu Yunxi inspected the food and confirmed that there was no problem before she said, “There’s no problem with this batch of food. It’s been hard on you. After I concoct the medicine, I’ll have someone send it over. At that time, you just have to put it in the food.”

“Yes, yes, Eldest Princess.”

The old eunuch and the deputy general standing at the side quickly nodded in fear and trepidation.

Before Yu Yunxi left, she looked at the people present and saw a few people looking at her resentfully. When they met her eyes, they hurriedly averted their eyes.

Meng Xia said in a low voice, “Eldest Princess, those people are probably from the Empress Dowager’s faction.”

Yu Yunxi nodded. It was not difficult to guess.

Meng Xia continued to say with a hint of complaint in her voice, “Eldest Princess, I noticed that the food is all hurriedly sent over. If we had come earlier, we might have been able to expose the Empress Dowager.”

Meng Xia felt that they had wasted the opportunity to expose the Empress Dowager’s true colors.

Yu Yunxi stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Meng Xia and asked,

“Expose the Empress Dowager, and then what?”

“T-then…” Meng Xia stammered. After a long time, she still could not come up with an answer.

“Meng Xia, the Emperor has been turning a blind eye to this matter. If we embarrass the Empress Dowager too much, it won’t do us any good. We’ve already won in this matter, but if we go too far, it’ll backfire on us,” Yu Yunxi said earnestly, “I also wish to make those hateful people pay the price for their actions. However, our foundation is unstable now so we have to do things step by step. Do you understand?”

Yu Yunxi patiently explained this matter to Meng Xiao because she thought that Meng Xia was smart, but Meng Xia was too rash. Hence, she had to guide Meng Xia. Otherwise, it might lead to Meng Xia making a huge mistake. Meng Xia was enlightened and quickly nodded. “Yes, Eldest Princess. I understand.”

Meng Xia had lived in the capital for a long time, but she had never been able

to see the situation as clearly as Yu Yunxi did. No wonder her father once told her that she could not be a strategist.

“Let’s go back,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

“Yes, Eldest Princess.”

Yu Yunxi was napping in the carriage when she was jolted awake by the carriage shaking violently. She asked with a frown, “What happened?” Meng Xia said from outside, “Eldest Princess, a child stopped our carriage.”

‘A child?’

Yu Yunxi’s frown deepened. Then, she quickly lifted the and got off the carriage. However, as soon as her feet landed on the ground, a little boy ran to her side and hugged her thigh.

“Mother, don’t you want me anymore?” the little bun asked pitifully as his eyes shone with tears.

‘Mother?’

Yu Yunxi’s head hurt when she heard this. She was not married yet so where did this child come from?

After a moment, Yu Yunxi stroked Yu Junjin’s chubby cheek and said gently,

“Little fellow, you can’t randomly recognize people as your mother.”

Seeing the other party crying so sadly, Yu Yunxi’s heart inexplicably ached. She quickly brought a handkerchief out and wiped his tears away as she asked,

“Kid, where’s your house? I’ll get someone to send you back.”

‘It seems like Mother… really lost her memories…’

The little bun was dejected. Last night, he took advantage of Luo Xiuran’s drunken state and managed to obtain information from Luo Xiuran. It was then that he found out that his mother was still alive but had lost her memory. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He kept wiping his tears away, but they continued to fall from his eyes.

Yu Yunxi felt very uncomfortable when she saw the state the little bun was in. She asked, “Little fellow, what’s wrong?”

The little bun was very cute, but when Yu Yunxi looked at his face, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. It felt as though her memories were about to resurface.

The little bun took a deep breath before he said seriously, “I’m sorry, Sister. I mistook you for someone else.”

The little bun knew that his mother was now the Eldest Princess of Xichu. If it was discovered that she had a son, not only would it affect her reputation, but it might also agitate her condition. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to reveal his identity for the time being.

Yu Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the little bun say that he had mistaken her for someone else.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the little bun said seriously, “Sister, you’re very pretty. I hope you can become my mother. My royal father is peerlessly handsome, and his martial arts are also peerless. Most importantly, he’ll definitely dote on his wife.”

Not far away, Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing, who were searching for the little bun after they noticed that he had gone missing, just arrived and overheard the little bun’s words.

Luo Xiuran’s expression turned complicated as he thought to himself, ‘The little bun seems to hate Yili on the surface, but deep down, he still admires Yili greatly.’

On the other hand, Qian Qing’s eyes reddened when she saw Yu Yunxi from afar. She called out, “County Princess…

Just as Qian Qing was about to rush over, Luo Xiuran quickly stopped her.

“Qian Qing, wait!”

Then, Luo Xiuran quickly pulled Qian Qing to the side and explained the entire matter to her.

Back to Yu Yunxi’s side, she was amused by the little bun’s words. She said, “Little fellow, you still haven’t told me who your father is…”

Based on the word ‘royal father’, Yu Yunxi knew that the little bun’s father had to be a prince or a vassal king.

‘Which prince gave birth to such a cute son?’ Yu Yunxi thought to herself as she recalled the faces of the princes and vassal kings she had seen during the palace banquet. However, for some reason, she felt that none of them could give birth to such a son.

At this moment, Meng Xia said gloomily, “I’ve been in the capital for so long, but I’ve never seen you before. Don’t tell me you’re the son of a fake prince or vassal king?”

The little bun was not in a hurry to explain himself. Instead, he looked up at Yu Yunxi and said obediently, “Sister, please bring me back with you. I’ll tell you who my father is.”

Meng Xia reprimanded in a low voice, “Presumptuous. How can you follow the Eldest Princess back? You…

Yu Yunxi shook her head at Meng Xia. Then, she looked at the little bun and asked seriously, “Do you really want to follow me back?”

For some unknown reason, Yu Yunxi felt an intimate connection with the little bun and was reluctant to part ways with him.

The little bun replied softly, “Of course. But don’t worry. I’ll leave when my father returns.’

“Your father isn’t in the capital?” Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed slightly as the image of an aloof man in a fanged mask appeared in her mind..
