Chapter 89: Thank You For Taking Care of Yunxi and Junjin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘What?!’

Everyone looked at the entrance and saw a man wearing a jade crown and dressed in a white robe, slowly walking in.

The man was very pale, and he looked tired. His noble and elegant temperament made him look detached from the secular world.

When Yu Yunxi turned around and saw the man, her expression changed, and she let down her guard immediately.

“Brother!”

Sensing the change in Yu Yunxi’s emotions, Feng Yili’s heart sank slightly. He turned around to have a look as well.

The man was none other than Shen Hezhi, the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence.

“Brother, why are you here? How are you feeling?” Yu Yunxi asked worriedly as she hurried to Shen Hezhi’s side.

Shen Hezhi smiled when he heard her words. His expression eased, making him look extremely gentle.

“I’m not here, you’ll be bullied and no one will protect you,” He Shenzhi said. His tone was gentle and reassuring.

After that, He Shenzi took the initiative to walk to the front and bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner before he said, “The heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence greets Your Majesty, the Emperor.”

‘Shen Hezhi? Why is he here?’

Feng Yijin narrowed his eyes, his expression was unclear.

Shen Hezhi had been the pride of Xinan since he was born. When he was eight years old, he had already read all the books written by the sages. When he was in his teens, he became the military advisor of Xinan’s army.

There was a saying among the commoners that the people of Tianxia were lucky to have the Prince Regent in the north and the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence in the southwest.

Perhaps Shen Hezhi’s only flaw was that he was born weak and sickly. The doctor concluded that he would not live past thirty, and this year, he had already turned 28 years old.

This was also the reason why despite Feng Yijin’s fear of King of Xinan’s Residence, he still felt that he had the situation under control. After all, as long as Shen Hezhi died, Xinan would lose a pillar. He would have nothing to fear at that time.

Feng Yijin looked at Shen Hezhi inquisitively and said, “I originally invited you to come to the capital, but you and your father said you were unwell so the County Princess would come in your place. Now you…

“Your Majesty, my health has improved slightly in recent days. Due to Your Majesty’s invitation, I came to the capital as soon as I could. Moreover, my godsister and my son are both in the capital. I don’t feel at ease about them being alone here,” Shen Hezhi replied calmly.

“Is that child really yours?” Feng Yijin asked with a piercing gaze.

Apart from Feng Yijin, the others were also staring at Shen Hezhi, anticipating his answer.

Feng Yili was rather anxious as well. He clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He could barely suppress his murderous aura at this moment.

‘Could Junjin really be Shen Hezhi’s son?’

“Your Majesty, the child Yunxi saved in the Jade Manor is indeed my son. His name is Junjin,” Shen Hezhi replied politely. He glanced at Yu Yunxi before he continued to say, “Yunxi is his aunt. Previously, my son insisted on visiting the capital. We were worried that he would be targeted so we didn’t reveal his identity. I apologize for the trouble it has caused.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanrong cried out, “How’s that possible?! That child is clearly Yu Yunxi’s! I heard him calling her ‘mother’! You’re helping her to cover this up!”

Yu Wanrong was so close to ruining Yu Yunxi’s reputation. How could she not be anxious now that Shen Hezhi appeared to ruin her plans?

Shen Hezhi’s gaze turned cold immediately, and the warmth on his face disappeared. He said stonily, “Your Majesty, may I ask what identity does this young lady have? She even dares to question the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence.”

Everyone reacted at this moment. The man in front of them who looked extremely gentle was clearly only gentle to selected people.

Feng Yijin’s expression was rather ugly when he heard these words. He had been focused on Yu Yunxi’s matter earlier that he had forgotten about Yu Wanrong. It was already inappropriate for her to appear in court as the daughter of a guilty minister, but she actually dared to cross the line and spouted nonsense.

Feng Yijin said expressionlessly, “Men, drag her out!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanrong panicked, and she looked at Feng Weizhou pleadingly. “Crown Prince…”

Feng Weizhou’s expression was extremely unsightly. He believed Yu Wanrong’s words so he brought her here today. He wanted her to testify against Yu Yunxi. He did not expect the sudden twist of events. He said icily, “You should leave first.”

He naturally knew it was not worth angering the Emperor for Yu Wanrong.

Just like that, Yu Wanrong was dragged out by the guards, looking extremely miserable.

After that, Feng Weizhou asked, a little indignant, “You said the child is yours, but those are just your words. We’ve never heard that the King of Xinan has a grandson.”

“That’s right. You have to explain this matter properly. Don’t lie in front of Imperial Father just to protect some people,” Feng Weirui chimed in. It was rare for him and Feng Weizhou to stand on the same side.

Faced with the duo’s aggressive words, Shen Hezhi remained calm. He said calmly, “Your Majesty, when the Great Ancestor was still alive he set a rule that all kings of fiefdoms must report the births of their legitimate descendants.”

“I didn’t expect you to remember this. So why didn’t you report the birth of your son to the court?” Feng Yijin asked. His tone was unfriendly.

“Your Majesty, the King of Xinan’s Residence did report this matter. Four years ago, when we sent a tribute to the palace, a lock of a child’s hair was included in the letter. That was Junijn’s hair. In Tianxia, it’s always been a tradition to use a child’s hair to deliver good news,” Shen Hezhi replied calmly.

Feng Yijin’s expression darkened. He loathed Xinan so he had never bothered reading letters from Xinan. He frowned and said, “Lin De, go and verify this matter.”

Lin De quickly left to check the letters from back then. After a long time, he finally returned. He whispered into Feng Yijin’s ear, and Feng Yijin’s expression turned even gloomier than before.

With this, everyone naturally knew that there was indeed a lock of hair from a child in that letter.

‘Is this the truth? Or did the King of Xinan’s Residence already anticipate this four years ago?’

Many people had this thought in their minds. If it was the latter, then the King of Xinan’s Residence was truly terrifying.

Feng Yijin, whose expression was as dark as ink, sat on the dragon throne for a

long time before he finally forced a smile on his face and said, “I should congratulate the King of Xinan’s Residence for the birth of a little master. Since the County Princess acted in defense of her nephew, this matter will be dismissed. Just copy the Female Virtues thrice and hand it to the Empress to check. ”

“Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty,” Yu Yunxi replied quickly.

“Alright, I’m tired. Crown Prince, help the heir of King of Xinan’s Residence to settle down,” Feng Yijin said to Feng Weizhou before he said to Shen Hezhi, “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay for a few days before you return?”

Although Feng Yijin’s words sounded like a suggestion, his tone brooked no argument.

Since Shen Hezhi came to the capital, it naturally would not be so easy for him to leave.

Yu Yunxi’s heart sank when she heard these words. She knew that Feng Yijin let her off so easily not because Shen Hezhi had proven that Yu Junjin was his son. It was because now that Shen Hezhi was here, Feng Yijin had a better bargaining chip. With this, Feng Yijin naturally did not care about a chess piece like her.

Yu Yunxi looked at Shen Hezhi worriedly, but he gave her a reassuring look.

Then, he said to Feng Yijin expressionlessly, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Alright, you can all take your leave. Prince Rui, you stay behind,” Feng Yijin said.

Feng Weirui’s body stiffened, and he panicked. Clearly, his father was going to settle scores with him.

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi hurried to Shen Hezhi’s side. She said, “Brother, didn’t I tell you to stay in Xinan? Why did you come to the capital? You’re the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence. The Emperor is still thinking of ways to deal with Xinan…”

“I’m worried about you and Junjin in the capital,” Shen Hezhi said gently as he looked down at her.

Feng Yili, who was watching the duo nearby, was emitting an extremely cold aura at this moment.

Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan looked worried.

‘The relationship between the Prince Regent and the Princess Regent just improved a little, but now the heir of the King of Xinan’s Xinan appeared…’

‘Where’s the Young Marquis? At such a critical moment, why isn’t he here to comfort the Prince Regent?’

Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan turned around only to discover Luo Xiuran was stunned, rooted to the ground. His eyes were fixed on the figure standing not far away from Shen Hezhi.

‘What’s wrong with his reaction?’

When Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan took a closer look at the young woman standing not far from Shen Hezhi, their expressions changed slightly.

‘Isn’t that the Second Miss Jian Qing?’

‘No wonder Young Marquis Luo looks as though he has lost his soul. As it turns

out, it’s Second Miss Jian Qing!’

Meanwhile, Feng Yili could no longer endure being ignored. He strode over and asked in a deep voice, “The heir of the King of Xinan, how are you?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Hezhi’s eyes flashed briefly. Then, he turned around and said with a warm smile, “I’m good, Prince Regent. How have you been? Before I entered the palace, I heard about what you did from the guards. Thank you for taking care of our family’s Yunxi and Junjin..

‘Our family’s Yunxi and Junjin?’

Upon hearing this, Feng Yili’s aura turned cold again..
