At this time, at the bottom, a few small doors suddenly clicked open.
Subsequently, a few wolves with green eyes walked out. They had been starved for a long time and were looking for a meal.
At this moment, another door opened, and a thin tiger with sparse hair walked out.
The wolves stared at the tiger ravenously, clearly intending to devour the tiger as well.
Upon seeing this, many of the young ladies from aristocratic families sighed and shook their heads.
“It’s over. The County Princess of Xinan is dead.”
At the same time.
At the entrance to the imperial study.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Yili sensed something was amiss so he asked Jiang Ying to see what was going on.
Jiang Ying asked, “Eunuch, the Emperor summoned the Prince Regent so why isn’t there any movement yet?”
The eunuch frowned and said, looking confused, “The Emperor summoned the
Prince Regent? If the Emperor summoned the Prince Regent, how could His Majesty let the Prince Regent wait at the entrance? Moreover, the Emperor has gone to see the Empress Dowager.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yili asked icily, “Is there anything happening in the palace now?”
The eunuch was frightened by Feng Yili’s aura and trembled. His memory was quite good, and he remembered something. He quickly said, “Prince Regent, I just came from the imperial garden. I heard that the Fourth Princess prepared a small surprise there.”
Feng Yili thought of something, and he clenched his hands as he asked stonily, “Jiang Ying, has Yu Yongnian and the others entered the palace?” “Yes, they entered the palace an hour ago,” Jiang Ying replied.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yili’s expression turned even colder. He turned around without hesitation and made his way to the imperial garden.
On the other side, the starving wolves bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced toward Yu Yunxi and the palace maid.
Although the palace maid knew martial arts, her legs weaken when faced with so many starving wolves. She saw Yu Yunxi from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness before she reached out to push Yu
Yunxi.
Upon seeing this, the young ladies watching from above screamed in fear. They did not dare to watch and quickly covered their eyes. They were certain that Yu Yunxi was going to die a bloody death. Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly.
‘Trying to push me to my death?’
Yu Yunxi spun around and grabbed the palace maid, pulling the palace maid to the front.
The palace maid shrieked in pain as a piece of flesh was bitten from her shoulder.
Blood dripped on the ground immediately, and the smell of blood further aggravated the starving wolves.
The wolves surrounded the palace maid and quickly tore into the palace maid. She could not resist them at all.
The bloody scene made the legs of the young masters tremble. They were disgusted and did not dare to look directly at the scene.
Yu Yongnian stared at Yu Yunxi’s thin back and said in an indecipherable tone,
“Fourth Princess, if Yu Yunxi dies here, it won’t be good for you.”
“Are you worried about me?” Feng Weiping’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard Yu
Yongnian’s words. Her voice also became much more cheerful when she spoke.
After that, Feng Weiping scoffed and said arrogantly, “She’s just a hostage from Xinan. Father has been looking for ways to deal with Xinan anyway. If the King of Xinan dares to make a fuss because of mere goddaughter, Father will definitely have a way to deal with it.”
Yu Yongnian’s expression did not change, and he did not say anything else. It was hard to figure out if he supported Feng Weiping’s actions or not.
At this time, the palace maid was already beyond recognition, and she only had one breath left. She panted heavily as she pleaded, “S-save, save me, County
Princess, s-save me…”
Yu Yunxi remained unmoved. She was not a saint. She would not save someone who intended to kill her.
At this moment, the wolves had also lost interest in the palace maid. They stared at Yu Yunxi and began to surround her.
At the same time, Yu Wanrong could not contain her excitement at all when she saw this scene.
‘Yu Yunxi, you b*tch, you’re finally going to die today!’
However, in the next moment, Yu Wanrong’s smile froze.
Yu Yunxi easily turned to the side, dodging the wolves. At the same time, she held a dagger in her hand as she looked at the wolves coldly.
Perhaps, her aura was too strong, the wolves seemed to hesitate a little and did not dare to advance recklessly. However, in the end, starvation won over reason. The fiercest wolf could no longer hold back and pounced at Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly as she flipped the dagger in her hand and leaped up. As the wolf flew into the air, she stabbed its eye. Blood splattered onto her face immediately, making her look even fiercer than before.
The wolf howled in pain.
At this time, another wolf who was not afraid of death pounced over as well.
Yu Yunxi rolled on the ground a few times, dodging the wolf before she stabbed the wolf’s neck without hesitation. Half of her face was covered in blood, and her white dress was dyed red. When she rose to her feet, she looked like death itself.
Not only were the wolves shocked, but the spectators were shocked as well. None of them expected Yu Yunxi to deal with the wolves so easily. After all, wolves from Xichu were very fierce and difficult to tame. They were also not easily frightened. However, right now they were clearly intimidated by Yu
Yunxi.
“How’s this possible?” Feng Weiping said through gritted teeth as she clenched her hands under the sleeves.
Yu Yongnian’s expression was very calm as he said, “Fourth Princess, you might not know this, but Yu Yunxi was a general of Xinan’s troops. She was the one who led the troops during the Battle of the Red Tower.”
‘What?!’
Feng Weiping looked at Yu Yongnian in shock and disbelief.
Three years ago, Nanyue Country sent its troops to Xinan. At that time, the entire imperial court did not think Xinan would be able to hold on. It was also at that time that Feng Weiping advised her father to temporarily put his guard down against Xinan and to help Xinan. After all, if Xinan fell, Tianxia would soon follow. Unexpectedly, Xinan did not request reinforcements from the imperial court at all. An unknown general had only taken one month to break through the siege and lead Xinan’s troops to victory. Apart from Xinan’s troops, no one knew the identity of the unknown general.
“H-how… How could it be Yu Yunxi? How?”
Feng Weiping kept shaking her head, unable to accept this at all..
