Feng Yili rode on a horse, dressed in silver armor. He was covered in blood, and his face could not be clearly seen. However, Yu Yunxi had no doubt that it was him.
At this moment, Feng Yili raised his hand and beheaded the fleeing Chu Yuefu.
Immediately after that, Jiang Chuan and the others rushed over.
“Your Royal Highness, all the rebels have been killed. We’ve also captured Empress Qin. Earlier, she took advantage of the chaos and killed the Emperor of Xichu. As for the Emperor Emeritus, he has been rescued and is unharmed.”
“Alright.”
Following that, Feng Yili dropped his weapon to the ground and rode toward Yu Yunxi. He frowned, clearly worried as he asked, “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the Eldest Princess’ Residence?”
Yu Yunxi scoffed and said, “The Xiao family went to the residence to capture me, but you still want me to stay in the residence?”
Yu Yunxi felt a little unhappy.
‘He was actually plotting such a dangerous scheme, but he didn’t tell me anything. What if he was in danger?’
Upon hearing that, Feng Yili quickly jumped down and carried Yu Yunxi down from the horse. He asked as he examined her from head to toe, “The Xiao family made a move early? Are you hurt?”
Yu Yunxi held his hand and said, “I’m fine. Father saved me.’
Feng Yili looked up.
Coincidentally, the King of Zhenbei and the others rushed over on horseback at this time. There was also Xiao Shici, Chu Ruishi, Chu Yuezheng, and Consort Hong bringing up the rear.
“Chu Yuezheng?”
Yu Yunxi tugged at Feng Yili’s sleeve. She was not sure about Chu Yuezheng’s stance. After a moment, she asked, surprised, “Don’t tell me that you’ve long pulled him to your side?”
Feng Yili held her hands and asked solemnly, “I’m in a cooperative relationship with him. Do you want to be the Emperor of Xichu? If that’s what you want, I’ll remove the last obstacle for you.”
Yu Yunxi reacted instantly and quickly shook her head. “No. It’s too tiring to be an emperor. I don’t want such a burden. I can lead troops to war, but I don’t want to be trapped in the palace every day. I don’t want to revise the memorials and argue with the ministers.”
After a beat, Yu Yunxi nudged Feng Yili with her elbow and asked, “Can Chu
Yuezheng be a wise ruler?”
Feng Yili said gently, “Your father and I have been observing him for a long time. He’s ambitious, but he also has the potential to be a wise ruler.”
Yu Yunxi was shocked. “You and my father? So you’ve already met my father a long time ago?”
Feng Yill quickly lowered his head in a posture of admitting his mistake as he said, “Since I want to marry you, I have to obtain my father-in-law’s approval first. That’s why I hid it from you and met him first.”
“Marry me?”
Yu Yunxi was puzzled and stunned.
“Yes. When we got married in Tianxia, I was unconscious and couldn’t give you a grand wedding,” Feng Yili said. Then, he took a deep breath before he asked, “Yu Yunxi, will you marry me?”
Then, Feng Yili quickly added, “It’s fine if you don’t want to. Then, I’ll marry into Xichu instead.”
Yu Yunxi scoffed. “Marry into Xichu? Is the Prince Regent not returning to Tianxia?”
“I’m not returning. I’ve already made arrangements. The new emperor should be able to ascend the throne in a few days. I’ll stay with you in Xichu from now on. If you and Junjin want to go somewhere else, I’ll also follow. As long as you’re happy, I can do anything,” Feng Yili replied. Then, he asked again, “So, Yunxi, shall we get married?”
The wind was a little strong, making people’s ears buzz. However, Yu Yunxi heard each of Feng Yili’s words clearly. She looked at him for a long time before the corners of her lips curled up and she replied, “Yes..”
