In the carriage.

Meng Xia said excitedly, “Eldest Princess, although I didn’t look back earlier, I can already imagine how ugly Madam Shang’s expression must have been!” “Meng Xia, we can’t underestimate our enemy,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

“Eldest Princess, Second Master Yu really isn’t very capable. He only became an official in the capital by relying on the King of Zhenbei. As for Madam Shang, her schemes are too obvious. They can’t be considered strong opponents, right?” Meng Xia asked.

“Indeed. The second branch of the Yu family isn’t anything for us to be afraid of. However, you have to consider the person behind them. Why did the

Empress and the Crown Prince help Yu Xiaoxiao become a Commandery Princess and allow her to become the Crown Prince’s side consort? Moreover, the Shang family that originally didn’t have much of a presence in the imperial court was repeatedly praised by the Emperor in recent months…” Yu Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Meng Xia was stunned by these words. She frowned and thought about it carefully before she muttered under her breath, “The only thing I can think of is their connection to the King of Zhenbei.”

“That’s right. It’s all related to my father,” Yu Yunxi said in an increasingly cold voice, “I heard that Father’s troops in the border city are powerful. Apart from that, the Emperor and the Crown Prince have already tried to disband the Crimson Flame Army several times…”

Meng Xia said in shock, “I understand now. They’re using the second branch to target the King of Zhenbei!”

“That’s right. Since ancient times, emperors had never been able to rest easy when their subjects commanded big troops. The Emperor couldn’t deal with my father so he’s hoping to use the second branch in some way. As for the Crown Prince, he’s fighting for the throne… so how could he not have any thoughts about this?” Yu Yunxi said in a light tone.

Meng Xia smacked her forehead lightly and said in a low voice, “I’m really stupid. I didn’t even think of this.”

“Now that I’m back, the second branch is in danger. The people behind them naturally can’t help but make a move. So, it’s better to be cautious,” Yu Yunxi said.

“Yes, Eldest Princess, I understand,” Meng Xia said quickly and nodded.

“By the way, after you fell asleep, did you hear any other movements?” Yu Yunxi asked solemnly when she recalled the strange thing that happened last night.

Meng Xia shook her head. “No.”

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. It seemed like she had to wait until tonight to observe the situation.

“Eldest Princess, are we going to the military camp to look at the Crimson Flame Army?” Meng Xia asked.

“Mm.” Yu Yunxi nodded.

The Crimson Flame Army usually trained with the other soldiers in the capital. If Yu Yunxi wanted to see them, she could only go to the military camp.

While the carriage traveled through the busy city to the military camp, it suddenly came to a stop.

A commotion could be heard outside.

“Eldest Princess, someone seems to be injured,” the coachman said.

Yu Yunxi originally planned to ignore it, but she soon heard the heart-wrenching cries of a child amidst the commotion. She could not help but ask, “What happened?”

“A… A child was injured by a carriage. He’s on his last breath,” the coachman said in a grave tone.

Yu Yunxi could no longer sit still when she heard this. After she alighted from the carriage, she saw a woman hugging a child and crying bitterly.

The woman kept shouting, “Save my child! Please save my child!”

The child’s face and body were stained with blood, and he seemed to be in a terrible condition.

Although the people in the surroundings sympathized with the duo, no one stepped forward to help the duo. After all, the child was not only trampled by a

horse, but he was also crushed by a carriage the horse was pulling after that. It was unlikely that the child would survive.

The carriage involved in the accident was parked at the side at this moment. Not only did the person in the carriage not get off, but the person inside also said impatiently, “Hurry up and get them to move aside. I have an appointment with Brother Wencheng to listen to songs today.”

Yu Yunxi looked at the carriage and saw the Ma family’s emblem on the carriage.

‘Commander Ma? Brother Wencheng? The person in the carriage must be Ma

Wanyang.’

Yu Yunxi could barely suppress her killing intent when she thought about this. She knew now was not the time to deal with Ma Wanyang. She hurried to the child’s side and took his pulse.

Many people were surprised by Yu Yunxi’s actions, and some of them even tried to dissuade her.

“Miss, this child is basically hopeless. Don’t waste your effort.”

“That’s right. Moreover, Young Master Ma said that he’ll compensate the family if the child dies. He also told us not to meddle in other people’s business. Otherwise…” an onlooker said, too afraid to finish his words.

The commoners’ reaction was not strange. After all, it would definitely be bad for them if they offended the young master of the Ma family.

Meanwhile, the woman seemed like a drowning person who had seen a raft when she saw Yu Yunxi. She pulled Yu Yunxi’s sleeve and pleaded, “Miss, please save my child.”

“I’ll try my best to save him,” Yu Yunxi said gently.

However, after Yu Yunxi checked the child’s pulse, her heart sank. The child was in a precarious situation.

“Is there a medical hall nearby?” Yu Yunxi asked solemnly.

A young woman standing at the side said softly, “Miss, there’s a medical hall nearby, but… but it’s the Ma family’s medical hall.”

“Send the child there,” Yu Yunxi said. At this time, it did not matter to whom the medical hall belonged. The most important thing now was to save the child.

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to carry the child, one of the attendants standing next to Ma Wanyang’s carriage walked over. He did not recognize Yu Yunxi and assumed she was a nosy onlooker so he shouted, “Stop! Who allowed you to take this child away?”

Yu Yunxi looked at the other party murderously as she asked, “Can’t you see that he’s about to die?”

“He’s fine. I think he and his mother are pretending, hoping to extort money. You’re in such a hurry to take him away. Don’t tell me you’re an accomplice?” the attendant said, “Whether he’s dead or alive, he can’t leave. If he dies in an hour, my young master will naturally compensate the family. However, if he’s safe and sound after an hour, it means that it’s a scheme to frame my young master. At that time, they’ll have to pay a painful price.”

Meng Xia heard this and was immediately angry. “An hour? How can he last for an hour?”

Meng Xia did not hesitate and quickly drew her sword.

With Meng Xia holding those people back, Yu Yunxi carried the child and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of Yu Yunxi.

“Give me the child.”

Yu Yunxi was stunned. Before she could react, the tall figure had already carried the child away.

“King of Youshan, where are you taking the child?” Yu Yunxi called out anxiously as she chased after Feng Yili.

“I know where the medical hall is. I’ll bring him there,” Feng Yili replied solemnly.

“But your injuries…” Yu Yunxi said, slightly worried.

“It’s fine..
