After a while, Wei Jian said tiredly, “Alright, both of you can leave first. I want to be alone for a while.’

Wei Meng and Wei Pu looked at each other before they said in a low voice, “Alright, Father. We’ll take our leave first.”

When the door closed and Wei Jian was the only one left, he slowly stood up.

With the walking stick as a support, he slowly walked to the wall behind him. He raised his hand and pressed something before the wall opened up. Then, he slowly walked in.

At the same time.

“Princess Consort, as it turns out, this old fellow has a secret room. No wonder I couldn’t find anything even after I searched the Wei Residence several times,” Qian Ji said through gritted teeth.

The few of them came out of hiding at this moment.

“Follow him,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

“Yes, Princess Consort.”

They mimicked Wei Jian’s actions to open the secret door before they entered the secret room.

After entering the secret room, Wei Jian looked at the books in the room with eyes shining with greed.

‘How much money have these books earned for the Wei family?’

“Madam Xu, although you’re dead, the things you left behind are still of some value. Why didn’t you take your daughter with you when you died? Why did you let her harm us now?” Wei Jian said through gritted teeth. He felt that Yu Yunxi had ruined his plans.

At this moment, a voice said mockingly from behind Wei Jian, “It seems like wicked people never think of themselves as wicked…

Wei Jian stiffened for a moment before he spun around. He berated, “Who are you? You actually dare to sneak into the Wei Residence?”

Although the Wei family was famous among the commoners, their status was not high enough for them to enter the imperial palace. For this reason, they had never seen Yu Yunxi before.

Yu Yunxi looked at Wei Jian coldly and said, “I’m the daughter of Madam Xu whom you just spoke of.”

“The daughter of Madam Xu?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Jian’s fierce gaze dimmed, and he instinctively took a step back.

“Qian Ji, knock him out,” Yu Yunxi said calmly. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wei Jian.

“You…”

Before Wei Jian could finish his sentence, he was knocked unconscious.

“Bring the books back,” Yu Yunxi said again.

“Yes, Princess Consort.”

When Yu Yunxi and the others were leaving the Wei Residence with the books, they saw Feng Yili standing at the back door of the Wei Residence. Yu Yunxi froze in her tracks, and her expression was slightly unnatural.

“Feng Yili? Why are you here?”

Yu Yunxi felt as though she had been caught doing something bad.

Feng Yili glanced at the black bags and instantly guessed their purpose for coming to the Wei Residence. He strode over and held Yu Yunxi’s slightly cold hand, saying with a hint of helplessness, “I can do this kind of thing for you. You don’t have to take the risk.”

“I didn’t inform you because I felt that this was a trivial matter. It’s easy and quick to resolve,” Yu Yunxi muttered softly. She seemed to think of something at this moment, and she quickly raised her head to look at Feng Yili and asked worriedly, “Feng Yili, will I ruin your plans if I take these books away?”

Logically, it should not be difficult for Feng Yili to deal with the Wei family, but he did not do anything to them for so many years. Yu Yunxi was worried that Feng Yili still had use for the Wei family.

“I previously wanted to use the Wei family to find out who’s behind them, and I obtained my answer recently. Originally, I thought about dealing with the Wei family in about two days. I didn’t expect you to take action tonight,” Feng Yili said patiently.

“The person behind them is…”

“The Imperial Preceptor,” Feng Yili said. His voice turned cold immediately.

Yu Yunxi sighed. “I overheard their conversation earlier. What they did back then is indeed related to the Imperial Preceptor.”

As long as the Imperial Preceptor was not defeated, they would not be at ease.

“Alright, let’s go back first. With all of Mother’s medical journals, we might really be able to find a way to completely detoxify the Springwood Separation poison,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

After returning, Yu Yunxi refused to sleep. The medical journals were stacked up next to her, and she was flipping through them.

“It’s already so late. You should rest first. The poison is not affecting me now,” Feng Yili said as he walked over from behind.

“It’s fine. I’ll go to sleep after reading this,” Yu Yunxi said softly after she turned around.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her vision suddenly darkened, and she fainted without any warning.

“Yunxi! Yunxi!” Feng Yili called out anxiously. He carried her to the bed and quickly checked her pulse. Her pulse was stable just like it was previously.

“Jiang Ying, go and get the doctor!” Feng Yili said grimly to Jiang Ying, who was standing guard outside.

Jiang Ying naturally could tell that something was wrong. He quickly replied,

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Feng Yili held Yu Yunxi’s hand. His expression was grave. Worried that she would catch a cold, he got up to get a blanket for her. However, as soon as he stood up, a notebook fell from the table next to him. When he bent down to pick it up, he found that there was something amiss. He frowned slightly and carefully examined the book. It seemed like there were some hidden words in the book.

With this, he quickly brought the notebook to the basin and wet the book. In just a moment, new words began to appear. The book was not Madam Xu’s medical journal; it was a diary that recorded her daily life.

He patiently read the entry that detailed Madam Xu and Yu Yunxi’s life when a passage caught his eye. It read: Recently, I feel like something’s not right with my body. I often forget things, and I keep fainting. I can’t find the reason for it. Fortunately, Yunxi hasn’t noticed it. Otherwise, she’d be worried. Looks like I’ll have to be more diligent about recording my daily life. If I lose my memory one day, I can rely on this diary. There are three more days before I can take Yunxi away. I hope everything goes well…

‘So this was written by Madam Xu three days before the incident… She hid her words with some special ink…’

Feng Yili’s gaze was dark. He was even more worried about Yu Yunxi’s health after reading that Madam Xu also displayed similar symptoms in the past. Madam Xu was probably about the same age as Yu Yunxi when she met with an accident.

‘Is this their fate?’

Feng Yili’s heart sank when he thought about this, and he clenched his hands tightly.

At this moment, Jiang Ying entered the room and said, “Prince Regent, the doctor is here.”

“Take a look at the Princess Consort,” Feng Yili said solemnly after he suppressed his surging emotions.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly checked Yu Yunxi’s pulse. After a long time, he said gloomily, “Prince Regent, the Princess Consort’s condition is just the same as before. I really can’t find any problems with her body…”

“Alright, I understand,” Feng Yili said hoarsely.

After the doctor left, Jiang Ying said tentatively, “Prince Regent, we…” Feng Yili interjected. “Ask Qian Qing to come and look after the Princess Consort. I’m going to the Imperial Preceptor’s Residence..”
