Chapter 450: The Head of the Murong Family
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After recounting everything that had happened, Yu Yunxi quietly waited for Feng Yili’s response. Originally, she expected him to ask about Xiao Shici and Full Moon Pavilion, but her expectations were quickly broken.
Feng Yili said gloomily, “That Chu Yuefu really doesn’t know what’s good for him! He actually dares to covet you!”
Yu Yunxi:
“It seems like the trouble I caused for the Qin family is not enough,” Feng Yili continued to say coldly.
It was only at this moment that Yu Yunxi remembered that she had heard there were many posts submitted to the imperial court, admonishing the Qin family, over the past few days. It was obvious that the Qin family had provoked someone, and as it turned out, the person was Feng Yili.
Yu Yunxi held Feng Yili’s hand and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. People will begin to take notice of Full Moon Pavilion. Chu Yuefue and Empress Qin will have to expend a lot of effort to suppress this matter. With this, they won’t have any time to care about me.”
Yu Yunxi naturally knew that Chu Yuefu did not like her. He only had his eyes on the King of Zhenbei and the Emperor Emeritus who supported her.
Yu Yunxi shook his hand and asked, “By the way, aren’t you going to ask about
Xiao Shici and the Xiao family?”
“The Emperor Emeritus wants you to marry Xiao Shici. I understand his good intentions…” Feng Yili said lightly.
“Hmm?”
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and stared at Feng Yili dangerously.
“However, I have no intention to give you up,” Feng Yili said seriously as he tightened his grip on Yu Yunxi’s hand, “The Emperor Emeritus treats you well so I can’t use forceful means that will chill his heart…
After a pause, Feng Yili said, “Therefore, Junjin and I will win his heart as soon as possible. I’ll also prove to him that I’m capable of protecting you!”
Yu Yunxi’s heart calmed down as soon as she heard these words. This was what she had been struggling with. After all, she did not know how to tell her grandfather about this without making him sad. Her grandfather did not like
Feng Yili and was certain that marrying Xiao Shici was the best choice for her.
“There’s also Xiao Shici. Although he’s capable, I feel that I won’t lose to him if I compete with him,” Feng Yili added firmly.
Yu Yunxi felt helpless when she heard this. She said, “Don’t treat Xiao Shici as your love rival. On account of my grandfather, godfather, and godmother, he likely treats me as his younger sister. I’m not some country-destroying beauty.”
Yu Yunxi did not think that Xiao Shici liked her just because he helped her several times in the past. They did not even know each other until recently. As such, she attributed his kindness to her to her grandfather, godfather, and godmother.
Feng Yili looked at Yu Yunx’s face with a burning gaze. In his eyes, she was even more beautiful than a country-destroying beauty.
Yu Yunxi did not notice Feng Yili’s change and continued to say, “When I meet my grandfather, I’ll think of a way to let him know that Xiao Shici and I aren’t compatible.”
Suddenly, Feng Yili pinched Yu Yunxi’s hand softly and asked hoarsely,
“Princess Consort, it seems like there’s something you’ve yet to tell me?”
Yu Yunxi stiffened. For some reason, she could hear a hint of danger in his voice. She gulped and asked softly, “W-what is it?”
“About the head of the Murong family. I remember that he helped Xinan unconditionally when you were in Xinan. Luo Xiuran also told me that he sent you gifts last night and that he’s coming to Xichu just to see you…”
How could Yu Yunxi not know that Feng Yili was jealous again? She sighed helplessly. She had almost forgotten about Murong Ze. Back when she was in
Xinan, she did not explain things to Feng Yili. It was time to make things clear.
Yu Yunxi stood on her tiptoes and patted Feng Yili’s shoulder before she said seriously, “I helped Murong Ze in the past. Back then, the Murong family was in chaos. To become the head of the family, his younger brother didn’t hesitate to send people to kill him. When I chanced upon him, he was already on his last breath. After I saved him, he promised to help Xinan if Xinan was in trouble.
Over the years, we’ve exchanged letters. We’re friends.”
Feng Yili pursed his lips, and his expression was very dark. He pulled her into his arms and asked worriedly, “Did Murong Ze tell people that you’re his savior?”
Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed. She quickly understood Feng Yili’s meaning.
The Murong family was very special, and there were many people who wanted Murong Ze dead. If people knew about her relationship with him, it would be dangerous for her.
“No,” Yu Yunxi said, quickly shaking her head.
‘That’s good…’
Feng Yili sighed in relief. His expression also eased immediately. However, his expression turned dark again as he said, “You were in such a difficult situation back then. If Murong Ze still implicated you, I definitely wouldn’t let him off!”
‘So this was what he was worried about…’
Yu Yunxi took the initiative to hold Feng Yili’s hand and comforted him in a soft voice, “Don’t worry. Murong Ze is someone who knows when to advance and when to retreat. He’s very considerate of his friends. I’m both his friend and savior so he won’t put me in danger.”
“I can see the Princess Consort admires him very much,” Feng Yili said lightly.
Yu Yunxi looked up and met Feng Yili’s dark gaze.
Yu Yunxi:
‘Is he jealous again just because I praised Murong Ze? My husband is too easily jealous? What should I do?’
Slightly amused, Yu Yunxi held back her laughter and said, “Don’t worry. Murong Ze doesn’t have any intentions toward me.”
“Hm?”
“He doesn’t like women…” Yu Yunxi said, slightly awkward.
Feng Yili:
Yu Yunxi continued to say awkwardly, “He has many… handsome men in his residence…”
Back then, Murong Ze even brought her to meet those men. At that time, he had generously told her that if she liked anyone, she could take them with her. She was quite shocked and quickly refused him at that time. Murong Ze assumed she was too embarrassed to accept it so he sent a handsome man to her room that night. She was so frightened that she fled from the Murong Residence that night and did not dare to step foot into the residence for a long time.
Naturally, Yu Yunxi did not dare to tell a certain Prince Regent about this. Otherwise, she was worried he would flatten the Murong family.
At this moment, Yu Yunxi suddenly thought of something, and an awkward expression appeared on her face as she looked at Feng Yili..
