Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The little bun raised his head and asked Yu Yunxi, “What is it, Mother?”

Yu Yunxi shook her head, unable to comprehend the meaning ot the letter. “Return to the capital? Which capital? The capital of Tianxia? But Mother had been living in the capital after she married into the Yu family,” Yu Yunxi murmured.

“Could it be that the person found the wrong person?” the little bun whispered as he rubbed his round belly.

Yu Yunxi shook her head.

Earlier, Yu Yongnian had said that the old man had her mother’s portrait. As such, the old man could not have found the wrong person.

“And this jade bracelet…” Yu Yunxi raised her hand to look at the jade bracelet under the light. It seemed to be similar to the warm jade that her mother left her.

After a while, she held the little bun’s hand and led him away, saying, “Let’s look for your father.”

“How did it go?” Feng Yili asked when Yu Yunxi returned.

“Yu Yongnian will convey our message to the Emperor. However, there’s no guarantee that someone will not cause trouble,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

Feng Yili understood Yu Yunxi’s meaning. He said in a low voice, “I’ll tell Jiang

Ying and the others to guard the place where Nan Xun is being held.”

Yu Yunxi brought the jade bracelet out and asked, “Have you seen this bracelet before?”

“Jade bracelet?”

Feng Yili studied the jade bracelet before he said, “The workmanship is very exquisite. This is not ordinary jade, and not everyone can obtain it. Where did you find it?”

Yu Yunxi recounted everything Yu Yongnian said to Feng Yili.

“Could it be an old friend of your mother in Jiangnan?” Feng Yili asked with a dark gaze.

“My mother came from an ordinary family of merchants in Jiangnan. Before she got married, all her family members passed away. That was why she never mentioned her family after she got to the capital,” Yu Yunxi said.

“Do you know anything about your mother’s past?” Feng Yili asked.

“No. Every time I mentioned Jiangnan, my mother would be very sad. As such, I didn’t ask any questions. After I came to Xinan, I also didn’t learn anything useful…” Yu Yunxi said helplessly, shaking her head.

“In order to find you before this, I sent people to Jiangnan to investigate. There was indeed a rich merchant with a similar surname. He passed away seven years ago. He only had an adopted daughter his entire life. She should be your mother.”

“My mother was adopted?” Yu Yunxi was slightly surprised. She was unaware of this matter. Then, she speculated, “Then perhaps that old man was a relative of hers?”

Yu Yunxi’s expression quickly turned lonely as she said, “Why didn’t Mother tell me these things?”

‘Who was that old man? What other secrets did Mother have?’

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was sad, the little bun pulled her sleeve and said to comfort her, “Mother, perhaps Grandmother wanted you to be carefree. It’s just like how you want me to grow up carefree…”

Yu Yunxi felt better when she heard the little bun’s words. She bent down and gently stroked his head as she said, “Alright, I understand.”

Then, she nodded at Feng Yili and said, “Let’s put this matter aside for the time being since we can’t figure it out…”

Late at night.

In Xinan’s military camp.

A few figures dressed head to toe in black stood in a hidden corner.

Chen Kui said to Feng Weiping solemnly, “Fourth Princess, Xinan’s troops aren’t simple… If they find out…”

Chen Kui hated Xinan. However, as a general who had led troops to war many times, he knew and had to admit that in the entire Tianxia, Xinan’s troops and the Prince Regent’s troops were the best of the best.

Put everything else aside, there were only a few of them here. How were they going to kidnap Nan Xun? It was a ridiculous idea.

Feng Weiping wore a disapproving expression on her face when she heard Chen Kui’s words. She removed the whip on her waist and said coldly, “So what if they catch me? Do you think they have the guts to kill me?”

“Fourth Princess, you’re noble. I don’t think these rebels dare to hurt you, but.. Chen Kui said worriedly. After all, if anything happened to Feng Weiping in Xinan, he would have to shoulder the blame.

“That’s enough, General Chen. Why are you so wishy-washy? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of the King of Xinan’s Residence?” Feng Weiping said provocatively.

“Of course not!” Chen Kui lifted his chin and puffed out his chest, looking arrogant when he said these words.

“Since you’re not afraid, follow me, Xinan actually wants to use the Crown

Prince of Nanyue to force my Imperial Father! They’re simply delusional. After I kidnap him and bring him back to the capital, they won’t be able to be arrogant anymore,” Feng Weiping said. She could not hide her excitement at all. It was as though she had already captured Nan Xun.

Feng Weiping suddenly thought of something, and she asked sharply, “By the way, General Chen, you didn’t tell General Yu about this, did you?”

“Fourth Princess, you told me to hide this from Yongnian so I didn’t tell him anything,” Chen Kui replied respectfully.

Feng Weiping nodded in relief when she heard this. She wanted to give Yu Yongnian a surprise, hoping he would look at her in a new light if she successfully kidnapped Nan Xun. After all, he was always very alienated and cold to her. She thought that this was because he thought she was not smart enough.

“Did you find out where the prison is located?” “Yes, Fourth Princess.”

“Alright. Let’s break him out of prison now.”

Feng Weiping raised her hand, gesturing for her subordinates to take the lead.

The night breeze was cool, making the guards sleepy.

After Feng Weiping’s men knocked the guards out, she quickly walked into the dungeon. At the same time, she said contemptuously, “Ha, I thought that Xinan’s troops were very powerful, but they’re only so-so…”

Chen Kui did not say anything. Things were going so smoothly that he felt uneasy.

The dungeons in military camps were usually not very big. They only looked around for a little while before they found a figure covered in black cloth at the end.

“That should be Crown Prince Nan. Bring him out,” Feng Weiping ordered.

After the guards broke the lock, she reached out and pulled the black cloth away. However, what was under the black cloth was clearly not Nan Xun.

A tiger leaped out and roared.

Feng Weiping let out a blood-curdling scream and quickly pulled the guards around her to stand in front of her, using them as shields.

However, Little White easily sent these people flying. In just a moment, it stood in front of Feng Weiping, unobstructed.

At this moment, Feng Weiping finally recognized Little White.

“Y-you, aren’t you that beast in the palace? I didn’t expect you to be in Xinan!” Feng Weiping said indignantly.

Little White was angered by her tone, and it raised its paw before bringing it down on Feng Weiping.

“Fourth Princess!” Chen Kui cried out anxiously..
