Ji Jianbai said angrily, “What are you waiting for? Can't you see that the Third Princess is injured?”

The imperial guards finally reacted, and they rushed over to help Chu Zhiya and the others.

Jiang Ying and the others rushed over as well, worried.

“H-how's the Eldest Princess?”

“I'm fine,” Yu Yunxi said reassuringly after taking a deep breath. Although her head hurt a little, she could still endure the pain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice fell, Yu Yunxi felt her feet leave the ground.

“King of Youshan, what are you doing?”

Yu Yunxi, who was suddenly carried by Feng Yili, was shocked and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

“You're injured so you shouldn't move around. I'll carry you,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice.

“It's not like I injured my legs. Moreover, your injury is worse than mine,” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice as she struggled to stand on the ground.

However, Feng Yili tightened his grip on her and said seriously, “Listen to me.

Don't move, and let me carry you.”

Feng Yili sounded as though he was coaxing a child when he spoke.

“King of Youshan, don't treat me like a child. I…”

“You may be the Eldest Princess, but to me, you're like a child who needs to be protected,” Feng Yili said, interjecting her.

Yu Yunxi was rendered speechless by his words. Not knowing what to say, she looked away awkwardly. Her heart was in a mess at this moment. She thought that she must have liked Feng Yili a lot in the past. Otherwise, there was no reason for her heart to be out of her control recently.

Chu Zai, the Emperor, and the others had been waiting for a long time. His expression was extremely gloomy now. People were returning one after another, but he had yet to receive news of Yu Yunxi's death.

'I sent out so many people to kill her, but not even one of them returned to report to me…'

Not only was there no news of Yu Yunxi, but there was also no news of the princes and princesses.

Under the Empress and Consort Mu's pleas, Chu Zai decided to send people into the forest to see what was going on.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuezheng walked over to Chu Yuefu's side. He fanned himself as he asked meaningfully, “Crown Prince, you didn't see Sister Yunxi either?” Chu Yuefu's expression darkened when he heard these words. He had rushed into the forest as soon as the hunt started. He planned to save Yu Yunxi when she was in danger so that she would remember his kindness. Unexpectedly, his luck was quite bad today. He searched for a long time, but he could not find Yu Yunxi at all. In the end, he had no choice but to hunt a few prey before he left. Unexpectedly, after he came out of the forest, he discovered that there was no news of Yu Yunxi.

'Is it possible that Imperial Father's men… succeeded?'

Seeing that Chu Yuefu did not say anything, Chu Yuezheng continued to say,

“Crown Prince, it seems like your game of chess isn't very good. Imperial Father is determined to take her life, but you and the Empress are determined to save her. If Imperial Father's plan is successful, won't all of your hard work be in vain?”

Chu Yuefue said with a sneer, “Why are you saying this to me? Aren't you trying to get on her good side as well?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuezheng pretended to look aggrieved as he said, “You seemed to have misunderstood me. I'm only good to Sister Yunxi because of her pitiful past. Moreover, my mother and Aunt Changning also had a good relationship in the past. I genuinely want to help her. I don't have so many ulterior motives like you…”

Chu Yuefue sneered again when he heard Chu Yuezheng's words.

'Among all the princes, Chu Yuezheng is the most hypocritical and has the most ulterior motives. He actually has the audacity to talk about ulterior motives…'

Chu Yuezheng acted as though he did not see Chu Yuefu's unsightly expression and continued to say, “Crown Prince, it's not good to be too anxious for quick success. Do you think Imperial Father can't see that you're trying to get close to Sister Yunxi? Be careful that you incur Imperial Father's anger. Not only that, but you might also fail in getting any benefits from Imperial Grandfather…”

“It's not your place to worry about my matters. If you have so much time, you should think about how to extend your mother's short life. After all, the Hong family's internal strife has been very fierce these past few years. If your mother is gone, they might not necessarily support you, ” Chu Yuefu said with a sneer before he flicked his sleeve and left.

Finally, these words made Chu Yuezheng's expression turn extremely hideous. As he looked at Chu Yuefu's departing figure, he clenched his hands tightly. His entire person radiated a gloomy aura.

At this moment, an attendant standing behind Chu Yuezheng could not help but say, “Your Royal Highness, the Emperor hates the Eldest Princess so much. The Empress and the Crown Prince insist on getting close to her, and this will definitely anger the Emperor. You can just watch them seek death. Why do you have to give him a reminder?”

“Do you really think the Empress and the Crown Prince are seeking death?” Chu

Yuezheng asked in a strange tone. The few attendants exchanged a look.

'Isn't that the case?'

Chu Yuezheng chuckled and said sinisterly, “The Empress and the Crown Prince have never done anything disadvantageous to them. When Yu Yunxi first returned, they deliberately targeted her to please Imperial Father. However, in just a short time, they suddenly changed their stance. Do you really believe that they're being nice to Yu Yunxi because of Princess

Changning?”

The attendants did not dare to speak and only listened.

Chu Yuezheng continued to say darkly, “It's because they later realized that the master of Xichu is still… Imperial Grandfather. Imperial Father has been sitting on the dragon throne for so many years, but in the end, isn't he still a puppet?” In short, those who wanted to be the Crown Prince of Xichu still had to depend on the Emperor Emeritus.

Realization dawned on the attendants.

One of them asked, “Then, should we also curry favor with the Eldest Princess?”

Chu Yuezheng scoffed and said disdainfully, “Ha, curry favor with a woman? I'm not the Crown Prince. I won't just do anything for the dragon throne. It's best if we can pull Yu Yunxi to our side. However, if we can't do that, we'll just kill her.”

Chu Yuezheng spoke very casually as though he was talking about the weather. In his opinion, although their grandfather doted on Yu Yunxi greatly, she was just a woman and could not stir up any waves. If he killed Yu Yunxi, he believed his grandfather would quickly get over her death. At that time, his grandfather would shift his attention toward his other grandchildren. He was confident that he would be able to let his grandfather see his ability to govern and rule the country and that he was more capable than Chu Yuefu.

The attendants hurriedly nodded.

“Your Royal Highness is wise!”

On the other side…

A eunuch rushed over and reported the situation to Chu Zai.

“Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess; the King of Youshan; the Third Princess; the Fifth Prince; the Sixth Princess; and the Seventh Prince are back.” Chu Zai's expression darkened as soon as he heard these words.

'Yu Yunxi actually returned safe and sound? Why is she so lucky? I sent so many people, but they still couldn't kill her!'

Chu Zai looked up and saw Feng Yili walking out of the forest with Yu Yunxi in his arms. At the side, the unconscious Chu Zhihe and Chu Yuemu were also carried out of the forest.

Needless to say, Chu Zai was seething with anger when he saw this scene..
