Chapter 204: People from the Capital

“What is it?” Feng Yili asked coldly. His attitude now was a stark contrast to his attitude toward Yu Yunxi when they were in the room.

“Zixiu is with Consort Dowager Ning now. I can’t get him to leave. Please explain this matter to Consort Dowager Ning when you return to the capital, ” Gao Shixuan said in a low voice.

“I don’t need you to remind me. I’ll naturally explain this to my mother,” Feng Yili said stonily. He knew it would be difficult to convince his mother. After all, his mother was adamant that Feng Zixiu was his child.

Gao Shixuan continued to say, “There’s one more thing. When we return to the capital, I’d like to ask Eldest Senior Brother and the County Princess to witness my marriage to Second Senior Brother.”

‘Marriage?’

“You’re getting married?” Luo Xiuran asked, surprised.

‘Wasn’t she determined to stick to Yili before this? Why did she suddenly change her mind and accept Liu Xiaolan now?’

Liu Xiaolan could barely contain his excitement as he chimed in, “Eldest Senior Brother, please fulfill our wish. Master is not here so it’s only right for you, as our Eldest Senior Brother, to witness our marriage.”

“Since you’ve said so, I’ll naturally help you,” Feng Yili said as he looked at Liu Xiaolan and Gao Shixuan.

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother,” Gao Shixuan and Liu Xiaolan said in unison.

Yu Yunxi frowned imperceptibly when she saw the joy on Gao Shixuan’s face. ‘Is it really possible that she’s repented and accepted Liu Xiaolan as her lover?’

However, before Yu Yunxi could further think about this matter, Qian Qing walked in and reported, “County Princess, a few people from the capital are here.”

“Someone from the capital?”

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili’s expressions turned solemn immediately.

“That’s right. They said they came with the Emperor’s decree,” Qian Qing said icily.

Previously when Xinan was in danger, the useless Emperor did not send help at all. Now that they had successfully captured Nan Xun, he was so quick to send people here.

“There’s quite a distance between the capital and Xinan. It’s impossible for them to come in such a timely manner… Imperial Brother must have sent people to wait near Xinan with a few decrees and to quietly observe the situation in Xinan. Depending on the result, they would then choose a decree and bring it here. Imperial Brother… has always been like this,” Feng Yili said mockingly.

“Who are they?” Yu Yunxi asked.

“Yu Yongnian, Feng Weiping, and Chen Kui,” Qian Qing replied through gritted teeth.

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow when she heard the three names. She was slightly amused.

Yu Yongnian, her third brother, had just been promoted to a general. Instead of making more connections in the imperial court and stabilizing his foundation, he actually came to Xinan.

Feng Weiping, the Fourth Princess, did not enjoy life in the palace and followed Yu Yongnian here.

As for Chen Kui, he was Madam Chen’s eldest brother. He had been to war many times, and he was not an easy person to get along with.

“County Princess, why don’t we just chase them away?” Qian Jiao asked angrily.

In any case, Xinan no longer planned to have anything to do with the imperial court. There was no need for them to anger themselves by letting the trio in.

“What did Godfather say?” Yu Yunxi asked Qian Qing.

Qian Qing quickly replied, “His Highness said that he’ll leave the decision to you and the Prince Regent.”

A smile appeared on Yu Yunxi’s face when she heard these words. She understood her godfather’s meaning. He meant that she could deal with them as she pleased. She turned around, intending to remind Feng Yili not to intervene on behalf of the imperial court. She said, “Feng Yili, as long as I don’t go over the line, don’t…

Before Yu Yunxi finished speaking, Feng Yili said seriously, “This is your territory. You can do whatever you want. If anything happens, I’ll cover for you.”

Yu Yunxi felt much more at ease after she heard these words. Then, she clapped her hands and said calmly, “Everyone, follow me to welcome our very important guests…”

At this moment, Feng Weiping and the others were waiting at the entrance of the King of Xinan’s Residence. She was dressed very valiantly, and her whip was wrapped around her waist. She kept looking at the entrance, waiting for someone to receive them. However, seeing that there was no movement for a long time, she was naturally furious. After all, she was the Fourth Princess of Tianxia. Usually, everyone was respectful to her wherever she went. How could she not be angry seeing that the King of Xinan’s Residence dared to make her wait?

“Princess, please calm down. The King of Xinan’s Residence had just gone through a great battle, and it had suffered. I’m sure they have many things to deal with so they can’t receive us immediately,” Yu Yongnian said slowly.

“General Yu, there’s no need to speak up for them. After this, I’ll definitely hold them accountable for this matter,” Feng Weiping said coldly with a scoff.

At this moment, a voice said sarcastically from the entrance, “Fourth Princess, you’re so arrogant. Have you forgotten where you are now?”

Feng Weiping looked up and saw Yu Yunxi and the others.

Yu Yunxi did not want Feng Yili to affect her plans so she did not allow him to come.

“County Princess, you’re the one who’s arrogant. You dare to make us wait!” Feng Weiping said angrily.

“Fourth Princess, you look very unhappy,” Yu Yunxi said with a chuckle.

“Of course, I’m unhappy. I’m a member of the imperial family. Who are you to make me wait for you?” Feng Weiping said darkly.

“Since the Fourth Princess looks down on us, it’s best if the Fourth Princess doesn’t enter the King of Xinan’s Residence. Otherwise, you’ll only make yourself unhappy. Qian Jiao, close the door,” Yu Yunxi said.

Feng Weiping panicked when she heard this. The Emperor had given her an important mission before she came here. If she failed, her father might punish her. However, she was still very unwilling to lower her head to Yu Yunxi.

Chen Kui could tell that Feng Weiping was panicking inwardly. In the end, he could only force himself to say, “County Princess, the Fourth Princess is still young. She’s just a little anxious because of the war in Xinan. For my sake, please don’t blame her.”

After all, Chen Kui was someone who had led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to war before. He was also an elder. As such, he felt that Yu Yunxi let the matter go on his behalf.

Contrary to Chen Kui’s expectations, Yu Yunxi asked expressionlessly, “For your sake? Who are you? Why should I do anything for your sake?”

“You…”

Chen Kui was so incensed by Yu Yunxi’s words that he felt dizzy.

“Yu Yunxi, I spoke to you nicely, but I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant. Very well. There’s no need for me to be polite anymore. Where’s the King of Xinan? The Emperor sent us to bring his imperial edict here. Tell him to come out and receive it. Otherwise, he’ll be punished for contempt of the court and the majesty of the Emperor,” Chen Kui said threateningly.

“Alright, I’ve heard you, General Chen. You can leave now,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod before she personally closed the door.

Chen Kui and Feng Weiping had yet to react when they heard the sound of the door closing.

“S-she, she intends to rebel!” Chen Kui was trembling with anger.

At this moment, Yu Yongnian suddenly said, “Uncle, this is Xinan, a place where the imperial court betrayed. Do you really think they’ll listen to the imperial edict?”

Chen Kui’s expression turned unsightly upon hearing these words.

Yu Yongnian smoothed the crease on his robe before he got off his horse. Then, he strode to the door before he slowly said, “Eldest Sister, I didn’t just come to read the imperial edict. I also came to catch up with you.. I wonder if you’re willing to open the door?”
