Jiang Chuan said angrily, “Xichu? No wonder we couldn’t find him! As it turns out, he went to Xichu!”

Xichu was very prejudiced against people from other countries. It was not easy

for people from other countries to enter Xichu, especially the capital of Xichu.

“I heard that the Eldest Princess of Xichu is about to marry the Third Prince of Beixiao. The Third Prince of Beixiao is about to enter Xichu so Xichu has been very lively recently. The Emperor of Xichu has also opened the borders so it shouldn’t be difficult to enter Beixiao now,” Jiang Ying explained.

‘However, why did the Imperial Preceptor go to Xichu? The late Consort Qin was from Xichu, and now he went to Xichu… What other secrets are hidden in Xichu?’

“Make the preparations. We’ll set off for Xichu tonight,” Feng Yili said expressionlessly.

“We’re leaving for Xichu tonight?”

Jiang Ying and the others were slightly shocked.

“Your Royal Highness, Xichu is mysterious and dislikes outsiders. Their army is also very strong,” Jiang Chuan said worriedly, “After all, there’s no precedent of a member of an imperial family of another country entering Xichu without permission. If we go there rashly, it might cause a war between the two countries, right?”

“We’ll keep a low profile. No matter what, I must go to Xichu,” Feng Yili said.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

The capital of Xichu.

A magnificent mansion sat in the heart of the bustling city, attracting passersby’s attention. It looked solemn, and it was without a plaque, causing people to talk about it.

“This house had been empty for more than twenty years. Why are there movements inside recently?”

“Stop scaring me. There’s movement inside because the owner of the house has returned…”

“What? Owner? Who’s the owner of the house?”

“I don’t know. I heard from my father twenty years ago, the Emperor Emeritus personally ordered people to build this mansion. It was even more magnificent than the house in the Eastern Palace. However, no one moved in after the construction was completed. It was empty for more than twenty years…”

“Wait, I remember now. When I was still a child, I remember people were discussing this matter fervently. To be valued so much… Could it be Princess Changning?”

“Hush! You dare to mention Princess Changning? Do you have a death wish?”

Everyone fell silent when they heard this sentence. They looked at the mansion again, shaking their heads and sighing before they left.

Princess Changning was the biggest taboo in Xichu. She was the Emperor

Emeritus’ fifth princess, and she was Empress Emerita Xiao’s only daughter. Empress Emerita Xiao was the Emperor Emeritus’ most cherished woman. She was in the imperial palace for ten years, and for ten years, she was the

Empress. She had never left the palace. Even if the ministers begged the

Emperor Emeritus, who was still the Emperor at that time, to depose her due

to her lack of children, he protected her. Later, she fell pregnant, but unfortunately, she gave birth to a princess.

However, the Emperor Emeritus was still very happy. He granted amnesty to the world and even named the princess Changning. All in all, the Emperor Emeritus loved Princess Chang Ning a lot.

After giving birth to Princess Chang Ning, Empress Emerita Xiao fell ill, and her health continued to deteriorate. The Emperor Emeritus was heartbroken, and he gave even more love to Princess Changning.

At that time, there were even rumors that the Emperor Emeritus was going to pass the throne to Princess Changning. It was said that the ministers opposed it, and the matter was ultimately left unsettled.

At that time, the Emperor Emeritus also announced that Princess Changning’s future children would be given the title ‘Prince’ or ‘Princess’. There was no princess who was given such a treatment before. Essentially, Princess Changning was treated like a prince. Based on this alone, it could be seen how much Princess Changning was favored.

However, one day, the Emperor Emeritus was poisoned, and all evidence pointed to Princess Chang Ning. At the critical moment, Princess Changning vanished, which made it look as though she had fled to avoid punishment.

After she vanished, she was never heard of again.

In the eyes of the people of Xichu, Princess Changning was a great sinner.

After the Emperor Emeritus’ poison was detoxified, he was paralyzed on one side of his body. As such, he could only abdicate and pass the throne to Chu

Chengyuan, the Crown Prince at that time and now, the Emperor. After that, he retired to the mountains and no longer cared about the country’s affairs. However, rumors about him searching for Princess Changning never died down.

Now that the mansion was occupied, people could not help but wonder if Princess Changning had returned. If that was true, it seemed like a storm was about to hit the capital. After all, Princess Changning had not been cleared of the crime of attempting to murder her father. Moreover, could the current Emperor tolerate her existence? After all, she was a threat to his throne back then.

Everyone could only pray that this matter would not affect the commoners.

Inside the mansion.

A woman slowly sat up on a bed. A gust of wind blew in from the window, causing her hair to flutter slightly. Her cheeks were fair and rosy, and she was as beautiful as a painting.

The maidservant kneeling on the ground looked up when she heard the slight commotion. When she saw the woman’s appearance, she could not help but gasp inwardly.

‘She really resembles Empress Emerita Xiao and Princess Changning… They’re all beautiful…

“You are…’

“Eldest Princess, I’m Meng Xia. I’m the palace maid who will be serving you,” Meng Xia said.

The woman on the bed frowned slightly, looking confused. “I’m the Eldest

Princess? What’s my name?”

“Yes, you’re Princess Changning’s daughter. You’re the current Eldest Princess of Xichu,” Meng Xia said. She hesitated for a moment before she said, “Y-your name is… Yu Yunxi…’

Yu Yunxi frowned again. She massaged her temples, and she felt her mind clearing up a little. She remembered now. Her name was Yu Yunxi. She was the granddaughter of the Emperor Emeritus of Xichu, and the niece of the current Emperor of Xichu. However, due to the imperial decree by the Emperor Emeritus, her status and treatment were similar to that of the Emperor’s daughters. For this reason, according to her seniority, she was the Eldest Princess of Xichu.

As for the reason her surname was Yu, she had been told that her father was the King of Zhenbei, who was famous in Xichu. His surname was Yu.

Yu Yunxi continued to massage her temples as she said, “Why am I having trouble with my memories today?”

Previously, Yu Yunxi woke up and discovered she had lost her memories. At that time, the imperial doctor explained that she had accidentally knocked her head and lost her memories.

Upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Meng Xia said awkwardly, “The imperial doctor said that recovering your memories is a long process. You’ll have to take things slow…”

Yu Yunxi was tired of hearing these words. However, there was nothing she could do about it. She stood up slowly and looked outside coldly. Her current living conditions were more than satisfactory, but despite what she was told about herself, her heart inexplicably felt empty. It was as though she had lost something. For this reason, she was eager to find the answer.

At this moment, a loud voice rang from outside.

“Eldest Princess, I’m one of the Emperor’s aides. I wonder if you feel better now. The Emperor misses you and wants to see you in the palace.”

“Eunuch, the princess just returned to Xichu and is not used to the environment. She still needs to recuperate. If the Emperor wants to see her, he only needs to wait for a few days. After all, the banquet is held in celebration of the Eldest Princess,” Meng Xia said coldly. She did not seem like a maidservant at all.

The eunuch was angry, but he could not refute Meng Xia’s words. In the end, he could only leave.

Yu Yunxi smiled slightly when she heard Meng Xia’s words. Although she had lost her memory, she was still very clear about her situation. Although she was just found, her uncle could not sit still at all. He had summoned her into the palace repeatedly and even sent people to her residence to spy on her.

‘Does he feel so uneasy?’

Fortunately, Meng Xia and the others were the Emperor Emeritus’ people so those from the imperial palace did not dare to act rashly.

“However, how many times can Grandfather protect me?” Yu Yunxi muttered to herself as she took a seat. After a moment, she turned to Meng Xia and said softly, “Meng Xia, get ready. I want to go out and take a look around the capital..”
