Chu Ruishi glared at Li Xu and said, “Hmph, am I so foolish? Is there a need to make things difficult for a child?”

Li Xu shrank back.

‘Didn’t the Emperor Emeritus say that he was not willing to acknowledge the little prince? After all, the little prince is the son of the Prince Regent.’

Chu Ruishi coughed a few times and tried his best to look kinder before he waved the little bun over.

“Junjin, right? Come to Great-grandfather.”

The little bun got down from Yu Yunxi’s arms and ran toward Chu Ruishi with his short legs. He tilted his head and asked softly, “Great-grandfather, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your legs?”

The little bun looked extremely sensible at this moment. Everyone’s hearts melted when they looked at his soft and chubby appearance.

Chu Ruishi laughed. “I’m not tired, I’m not tired. Are you hungry? Why don’t Great-grandfather get the imperial kitchen to cook something delicious for you? What do you want to eat?”

Chu Ruishi’s stern expression could no longer be seen on his face. He coaxed the little bun just like an ordinary elder, wishing to give the little bun all the good things in the world.

“By the way, this is our first meeting. Great-grandfather forgot to prepare a gift for you,” Chu Ruishi said to the little bun before he said to Li Xu, “Li Xu, bring me my jade pendant.”

Li Xu was shocked upon hearing those words. He asked again, looking uncertain, “Emperor Emeritus, are you going to give the little prince that jade pendant?”

The jade pendant was given to Chu Ruishi by Empress Emerita Xiao in the past. Over the years, the jade pendant had become like a protective talisman, and it held a high position in Chu Ruishi’s heart.

“You’re younger than me, right? Why are your ears becoming useless?” Chu Ruishi said reproachfully.

Li Xu returned to his senses and shook his head fearfully. “I was wrong. I wasn’t questioning you, Emperor Emeritus. I’ll go and get the jade pendant now.”

After a while, Li Xu returned with the jade pendant.

Chu Ruishi took the jade pendant and placed it in the little bun’s hand. He stroked the little bun’s head and said kindly, “This jade pendant is not only given by your great-grandmother, but it’s also the command token of the secret guards.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard these words.

Yu Yunxi walked over and quickly said, “Grandfather, this is too precious. Junjin can’t accept it.”

However, Chu Ruishi only hugged the little bun and retorted, “This is what I

gave my great-grandson. Even if you’re his mother, you have no right to stop me.”

Then, Chu Ruishi looked at Feng Yili provocatively before he said to the little bun, “Great-grandson, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, you can use the jade pendant. At that time, the secret guards will avenge you. You can also use it on your father.”

“But…’

Yu Yunxi frowned, wanting to protest again.

However, Feng Yili quickly stopped her and whispered, “Since maternal grandfather is so happy, let him be. Besides, he has already acknowledged that

I’m Junjin’s father.”

Feng Yili deliberately emphasized his words at the end.

Yu Yunxi could tell that Feng Yili was in a good mood. She shook her head and laughed.

‘They are really a group of childish people…’

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili stayed in the imperial palace for a long time before they finally left. However, the little bun did not leave with them. A certain Emperor Emeritus had asked the little bun to stay back and accompany him.

Yu Yunxi scoffed lightly and said, “Are you just relying on your son to rise in status? Clearly, Grandfather found you more pleasing to the eye because of Junjin.”

Feng Yili nodded in agreement.

‘That little fellow is very useful.’

At this time, Yu Yunxi nudged Feng Yili’s wound, and he launched into a coughing fit.

“Oh, do you still know pain? Why didn’t you think of it when you injured yourself?” Yu Yunxi said through gritted teeth with a dark expression on her face.

Feng Yili endured the pain and held Yu Yunxi’s arm as he said, “I’m sorry for making you and Junjin worry.”

Yu Yunxi was only venting her anger. She naturally did not want him to be in pain. She quickly fed him a pill and said, “You’ll feel better after eating this.” “Yes, Princess Consort,” Feng Yili said gently. f reewe bnovel

At this moment, Meng Xia suddenly said solemnly from outside the carriage, “Eldest Princess, our people in the palace just sent a message. When we left the palace, Consort Mu sent someone to assassinate the Prince Regent.”

‘Consort Mu?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned glacial. She said with a sneer, “A consort who’s imprisoned actually has the ability to send people to assassinate you. It seems like the Emperor deliberately turned a blind eye to it…”

Chu Zai knew that his father was still keeping an eye on him so he dared not cross the line. However, he could avoid the responsibility if he feigned ignorance and allowed Consort Mu to act. No matter what the outcome was, he would not be affected. It was a rather well-thought-out plan.

Yu Yunxi patted Feng Yili’s shoulder lightly before she stood up and said,

“You’re still injured. Just stay in the carriage. I’ll deal with this.”

Then, Yu Yunxi said to Meng Xia, “Meng Xia, get ready. Follow me to kill the enemy.”

However, they waited for a long time, but they still did not see any assassins.

Meng Xia went to investigate the situation. When she returned, she said, puzzled, “Consort Mu did send assassins, but they didn’t follow us…”

From the imperial palace, there were two paths that led to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.

‘Wait a minute…’

Yu Yunxi finally realized something. She quickly lifted the curtain to take a look. The carriage they were in was an ordinary carriage. It was not the carriages from the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, the King of Youshan’s Residence, or Tianxia.

Yu Yunxi asked urgently, “Young Marquis Luo left the palace, and he took a different path, right?”

“I think so,” Meng Xia said, uncertain.

Then, Yu Yunxi looked at the unmoved Feng Yili, puzzled.

Feng Yili raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, “Luo Xiuran has worked hard to protect Junjin today. So I gave him a helping hand earlier.”

Yu Yunxi finally remembered that before leaving the palace, Feng Yili had asked Qian Qing to ride in Luo Xiuran’s carriage. Hence, the assassins were now chasing after Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing. She murmured, “Although being chased by assassins is dangerous, it’s a good opportunity for their relationship to develop..”
