Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

Chapter 2



Buried Along With Him

“Princess Consort, it’s time for you to wake up!”

Yu Yunxi, who was a light sleeper, was woken up by an unfriendly voice outside the door. She quickly sat up on the side bed. She had slept on the side bed the entire night. She looked to the side and looked at Feng Yili who was still lying motionless on the bed.

‘It’s not a dream… I really married him…’

Yu Yunxi sighed. She walked to the door and slowly opened it.

An old woman stood outside, looking high and mighty. A frown could be seen on her wizened face as she said harshly, “Your Highness, did you not learn the rules when you were in the Prime Minister’s Residence? You should get up at dawn to take care of your husband and serve your elders.”

“I apologize. The Madam of the Prime Minister’s Residence did not deign to teach the rules to a concubine’s daughter. Moreover, what do you mean by ‘rules?’ Does the rules of the Prince Regent’s Resident teach the servants to speak to their masters so rudely?” Yu Yunxi replied calmly as her eyes glinted icily.

“You!”

The old woman’s eyes widened, unable to believe that Yu Yunxi had boldly refuted her words. After all, she was the Consort Dowager’s most trusted servant. There was no one in the residence who dared to disrespect her. Moreover, Yu Yunxi was just the unfavored daughter of Prime Minister Yu; Yu Yunxi’s status in the Prime Minister’s Residence was even lower than that of a servant. If it were not for Yu Yunxi’s birth date which was compatible with that of the Prince Regent, Yu Yunxi would not have been able to step into the Prince Regent’s Residence in her lifetime.

‘Although I addressed you as ‘Princess Consort’, do you really take it seriously?’

At this time, Aunt Qing, who was standing next to the old woman, finally reacted. She looked at Yu Yunxi and warned in an unfriendly tone, “You have to remember your etiquette after you get married. You can’t bring shame to your family. This is Nanny Liu, who’s by the Consort Dowager’s side. The Consort Dowager and Nanny Liu aren’t people you can disrespect!”

Yu Yunxi raised her hand and covered her mouth before she laughed. Then, she slowly said, “Did I do something wrong? As a servant, Nanny Liu shouted at me at the entrance of the room. She’s the one who doesn’t respect the Consort Dowager and the Prince Regent.”

“Princess Consort, don’t slander me. It won’t be good for you if I report this to the Consort Dowager,” Nanny Liu said threateningly as she narrowed her eyes.

“You should report this. I really want to know if the Consort Dowager will take your side or the Prince Regent’s side. Since ancient times, servants have never been allowed to disrespect their masters. Do you think I’m easy to bully because I just entered the residence? Or do you think His Royal Highness isn’t worthy of respect because he’s unconscious?” Yu Yunxi said as she raised an eyebrow. Her voice grew icier and icier as she spoke.

Nanny Liu’s expression froze, and her heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words. She did not expect Yu Yunxi, the b*tch, would dare to threaten her with the Prince Regent. It was true that the Consort Dowager trusted her, but if the matter involved Feng Yili, the Prince Regent, the Consort Dowager would not let her go. Moreover, the Consort Dowager had been in a foul mood since Feng Yili had fallen into a coma. If she was not careful, she would be implicated.

After thinking about it for a moment, Nanny Liu quickly changed her expression. She bowed slightly and said softly, “Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood me. I was just worried that you’d be late so I became a little too anxious. It’s getting late. You should help His Royal Highness wash up. You still have to feed him medicine later.”

‘Is she trying to push this matter aside?’

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and did not say anything. She moved to the side and allowed the maidservants to bring in the things to help Feng Yili wash up.

Finally, Nanny Liu handed a small towel to Yu Yunxi and said, “Please, Princess Consort.”

Yu Yunxi did not panic. Her nanny had been bedridden for many years, and she had been looking after her nanny since she was young. After all, the servants in the Prime Minister’s Residence did not care if her nanny lived or died.?For this reason, it was not difficult for her at all to take care of Feng Yili.

Yu Yunxi wiped Feng Yili’s face and arms nimbly as Nanny Liu kept a close eye on her. Alas, Nanny Liu did not find any mistake.

Yu Yunxi looked at the red groom’s robe on Feng Yili and felt that it was an eyesore. It was best to remove it as quickly as possible so she said, “Bring me a set of new clothes for His Royal Highness to change into.”

Unexpectedly, Nanny Liu said gloomily, “Princess Consort, didn’t the people of the Prime Minister’s Residence tell you anything? The Imperial Preceptor has said that His Royal Highness is in critical condition. The marriage is supposed to be an auspicious event that’ll help His Royal Highness recover. However, you only have seven days. If you’re lucky, His Royal Highness will wake up within seven days. Otherwise, you’ll be buried along with His Royal Highness in the Imperial Mausoleum after seven days. At that time, both of you will still be buried in your wedding clothes.”

‘What?!’

Yu Yunxi raised her head and looked at Aunt Qing anxiously.

Aunt Qing quickly averted her eyes.

Based on Aunt Qing’s reaction, Yu Yunxi knew that Nanny Liu’s words were true. As it turned out, not only did she have to marry Feng Yili, but she would also die along with Feng Yili if Feng Yili did not wake up within seven days.

‘No wonder they put so much effort to marry me off…’

Yun Yuzi’s gaze turned icy as flames of fury burned in her heart. The people from the Prime Minister’s Residence did not hesitate to push her into a pit even though they knew she might die, hiding the fact that she might be buried with Feng Yili.

Meanwhile, seeing the expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Nanny Liu said threateningly, “Princess Consort, you better pray that you’re blessed and can awaken His Royal Highness. Otherwise, the Consort Dowager will flay you alive and break your bones before you’re buried.”

Yu Yunxi took a deep breath before she said coldly to Nanny Liu, “Didn’t you say that I have to feed him medicine? Where’s the medicine?”

At this point, Yu Yunxi felt that she could only pray for Feng Yili to regain consciousness.

“Bring the medicine to the Princess Consort.”

Soon enough, a bowl of dark liquid was presented to Yu Yunxi.

As Yu Yunxi reached out for the bowl, Nanny Liu said sarcastically, “Princess Consort, please don’t blame me for reminding you that His Royal Highness is in a coma. This means that he can’t drink anything without help. Normally, the imperial physicians use acupuncture to keep him alive, but they said that he’s getting weaker and weaker. As such, he has to drink this medicine. This medicine is carefully prescribed by the imperial physicians, and His Royal Highness usually drinks it when he’s injured. You’ll have to think of a way to feed the medicine to His Royal Highness.”

Yu Yunxi almost laughed in anger.

‘The Prince Regent has to take this medicine, but he can’t drink it. Even the imperial physicians have no way of making him drink it so how can I do it? Isn’t this tantamount to forcing me to death?’

At the same time, the several pairs of eyes in the room stared at Yu Yunxi intently.

After thinking about it for a moment, Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed slightly. She set the bowl aside before she held Feng Yili’s chin with one hand. With her other hand, she tapped a few acupuncture points on his head. Subsequently, a miraculous scene appeared; Feng Yili suddenly opened his mouth. She did not waste time and quickly poured the medicine into his mouth.

Everything happened so quickly that it took Nanny Liu and the others a while to react.

When Nanny Liu finally returned to her senses, she glared at Yu Yunxi and said, “What did you do to His Royal Highness?”

“I was feeding him the medicine. Didn’t I succeed? Why are you so anxious, Nanny Liu?” Yu Yunxi asked nonchalantly.

Meanwhile, Aunt Qing looked at Yu Yunxi with a probing gaze and asked, “Princess Consort, how do you know these things?”

Yu Yunxi waved her hand and said mockingly, “Aunt Qing, have you forgotten that my mother was a famous physician back then? She was the one who cured my father’s chronic illness in the past. It’s a pity that my father forgot about this life-saving grace. I’m my mother’s daughter. Is it so surprising that I have some medical skills?”

“You have medical skills?” Nanny Liu’s voice suddenly turned a little sharp.

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly at Nanny Liu’s reaction. After a brief moment, she smiled slightly and replied, “It’s just basic medical skills. I can only treat small injuries. It’s not a problem for me to make him drink the medicine, but I’m not skilled enough to do anything else.”

Yu Yunxi had been keeping a close eye on Nanny Liu when she spoke. As such, she saw the relief on Nanny Liu’s face as soon as she finished speaking.

‘Her reaction is a little strange, right?’

Finally, Nanny Liu raised her head and said arrogantly, “Alright. Although there’s no need to change His Royal Highness’ clothes, you’ll have to change your clothes to meet the Consort Dowager.”

‘I have to meet the Consort Dowager?’ Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. She knew she could not refuse.

At the same time, Nanny Liu stared at the bowl in Yu Yunxi’s hands and said, “Princess Consort, please give the medicine bowl to the servants.”

Yu Yunxi nodded expressionlessly and handed the medicine bowl over. However, before she handed the bow over, she discreetly took some of the medicinal dregs in the bowl and hid it in her handkerchief.
