Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

Sneaking into the Prince Regent’s Residence at Night

On the other side, Jiang Ying and Qian Jiao had fought for dozens of rounds.

Jiang Ying grew more and more excited. He did not expect a maidservant to have such skills, and he had not met such a worthy opponent for a long time now.

On the contrary, Qian Jiao did not want to waste time with Jiang Ying. She only wanted to find Yu Yunxi, her master. She could not help but worry about what Feng Yili would do to Yu Yunxi. When she finally saw Yu Yunxi from the corners of her eyes, she quickly gave up and returned to Yu Yunxi’s side.

“Master!”

Qian Jiao was both worried and surprised when she saw the furious expression on Yu Yunxi’s face. Apart from the King of Xinan, Yun Yuxi was one of the best people at hiding emotions. Over the past few years, she had never seen Yu Yunxi so angry. She could imagine how angry Yu Yunxi must be at this moment.

At this time, Jiang Ying hurried over and bowed before he greeted Yu Yunxi happily, “Princess Consort!”

However, Yu Yunxi stared at him icily and said, “I’m humble and not worthy of such a title and your Prince Regent.”

‘Why is she so angry?’

Jiang Ying froze, confused by Yu Yunxi’s icy reception.

Yu Yunxi did not want to waste another word on Jiang Ying and quickly left with Qian Jiao.

Qian Jiao hurried and caught up with Yu Yunxi, who was walking extremely fast, and asked worriedly, “Master, are you okay?

Yu Yunxi stopped in her tracks and said, “From now on, address me as County Princess.”

“Yes.”

Yu Yunxi took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down before she finally murmured under her breath, “It’s just a man. Since I don’t like him, I’ll just find a chance to kill him in the future.”

Qian Jiao, who overheard these words, was stunned.

‘What did the Prince Regent do that made Master say such words?’

Qian Jiao adjusted her expression and said, “County Princess, no matter how despicable he is, he’s the little master’s…”

Qian Jiao trailed off. Under normal circumstances, if it were another person, she would have no qualms about killing for Yu Yunxi even if Yu Yunxi did not instruct her to do so. However, Feng Yili was…

After listening to Qian Jiao’s words, Yu Yunxi seemed to remember something. In just a moment, her anger seemed to have vanished, and a hint of gentleness could be seen in her gaze. Then, she asked, “Did Qian Mei send a letter? How’s Jin’er doing after we left Xinan?”

“Yes. The letter arrived yesterday. She said that the young master is having fun in Xinan’s military camp, and he’s giving the generals there a headache,” Qian Jiao quickly replied.

Yu Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief. “Jin’er has many ideas in his head. Although he’s young, he’s extremely intelligent. Those generals are really not his match. I really wonder who he got it from…”

Yu Yunxi stopped speaking abruptly as a man’s face appeared in her mind. That face was almost identical to that of Jin’er. With that, her anger returned, and she gritted her teeth until they hurt.

Qian Jiao could also guess Yu Yunxi’s thoughts at this moment.

Indeed, Jin’er resembled Feng Yili very much. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that they were biological father and son. Fortunately, Jin’er did not come to the capital with them. Otherwise, Yu Yunxi would not be able to hide her secret.

“Reply to Qian Mei and tell her to watch over Jin’er. We absolutely cannot allow him to sneak out of Xinan,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

“Yes,” Qian Jiao replied immediately. She knew how important this matter was.

“By the way, how’s the investigation regarding the jade?” Yu Yunxi asked.

Qian Jiao shook her head and said with a troubled expression on her face, “The Prince Regent’s Residence is heavily guarded. Our people have tried many ways, but they couldn’t sneak in.”

Yu Yunxi was not particularly disappointed. This was also within her expectations. After all, Feng Yili was someone who made the enemies tremble in fear on the battlefield and wielded power in the Imperial Court. He was already poisoned once with the Springwood Separation and plotted against. It was only natural that he would not allow others to plot against him again. As such, it was no surprise that the Prince Regent’s Residence was almost impenetrable now.

“County Princess, why don’t I try to sneak into the Prince Regent’s Residence tonight instead?” Qian Jiao asked.

“No,” Yu Yunxi refused without hesitation, “There are many experts there. If you’re discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. I’ll go.”

“County Princess, it’s too dangerous for you. Let me go. I’ll think of a way to get the jade,” Qian Jiao said. Before leaving for the capital, the King of Xinan had repeatedly reminded her to protect Yu Yunxi well and not to let Yu Yunxi get hurt. The Prince Regent’s Residence was a treacherous place. It was only natural that she was against Yu Yunxi going to that place.

Yu Yunxi’s massaged her temples and said with a hint of helplessness, “No matter how useless I am, I’ve been in the Prince Regent’s Residence before, and I’m familiar with it. It’ll be easy for me to escape. Moreover, you couldn’t even defeat Jiang Ying earlier. If you sneak into the residence, you’ll be courting death.”

“County Princess, you…”

Qian Jiao was taken aback. She did not expect Yu Yunxi to be able to see the difference between her and Jiang Ying with just a glance.

“You were using about 90% of your strength earlier, but he used less than 80% of his strength. So, aren’t you just courting death if you go there?” Yu Yunxi said seriously. She did not want to hurt Qian Jiao’s feelings, but it was the truth.

“My godbrother often taught me ways to escape in the past. Even if I were to be found, I should be able to escape,” Yu Yunxi continued to say calmly.

“But…”

“Alright, there’s no need to say more. I’ve made up my mind,” Yu Yunxi interjected, stopping Qian Jiao from dissuading her.

Qian Jiao could only swallow her words.

At this time, the two of them finally arrived in front of the courtyard in the southeastern corner of the Prime Minister’s Residence.

When Qian Jiao saw the dilapidated courtyard, she glanced at Yu Yunxi, feeling distressed for Yu Yunxi. She had long known that Yu Yunxi did not have an easy time in the Yu family, but she did not expect that the place Yu Yunxi lived in was even worse than that of a servant.

Yu Yunxi did not think much of it and quickly walked in. Although the place was dilapidated, it held memories of her mother and her nanny.

Yu Yunxi carefully touched the furniture, and her eyes reddened. She swore inwardly, ‘Mother, Nanny, I’ll make those who harmed you pay the price!’

…

Late at night.

A petite and nimble figure dressed in black snuck into the Prince Regent’s Resident like a gust of wind, escaping notice.

Although Yu Yunxi had successfully entered the Prince Regent’s Residence, she did not let her guard down. This was because she knew that the secret guards were everywhere. The security of the Prince Regent’s Residence was indeed terrifying.

She held her breath and stood still. Her black clothes helped camouflage her in the dark night. After a moment, she hurried to the study. In her opinion, there was a possibility that Feng Yili would keep the jade in the study.

Fortunately, the layout of the residence did not change in the past five years. In just a moment, she arrived at the door of the study. After she ascertained there was no movement inside, she carefully pushed the door open and entered. Once inside, she headed straight for the shelf. However, after searching for a long time, she still could not find the jade.

She muttered to herself impatiently, “This is strange. Where could Feng Yili have kept it?”

Suddenly, an icy voice rang from behind.

“What are you looking for?”
