Chapter 372 - 372: Entering the Imperial Palace
Yu Yunxi’s face burned again when she heard these words. She cleared her throat and said stiffly, “Well, since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying this, Yu Yunxi wanted to flee, but Feng Yili quickly grabbed her arm. Despite the nonchalant tone, his eyes were filled with anticipation as he asked, “Princess Consort, you came because you heard the Emperor was going to bestow a marriage to me, right?”
Feng Yili was desperate to hear her answer. Although she had accepted him, he could not help but feel insecure. After all, she had lost her memories, and he was worried that she would leave him one day. As such, he desperately needed to know her heart.
When Yu Yunxi met Feng Yili’s gaze, her embarrassment seemed to vanish. However, she still seemed awkward as she said, “You’re my husband. Other people are not allowed to have thoughts about you. If you dare to be disloyal, I’ll kill you first.’
Immediately after that, the little bun nodded in agreement and chimed in, “That’s right. I’ll kill you.”
Feng Yili’s smile widened. He said firmly, “Don’t worry. If I really betray your mother, you and your mother won’t have to take action. I’ll kill myself.”
Yu Yunxi blushed, and she quickly changed the topic, saying, “Alright, I should leave for the palace now. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.”
According to Meng Xia, her grandfather usually would not see anyone in the afternoon. As such, she should enter the palace as soon as possible.
With that, Yu Yunxi left with Meng Xia and the others.
‘Enter the palace? Why?’
Feng Yili’s gaze darkened as he watched Yu Yunxi leave.
The little bun tugged at Feng Yili’s sleeve and asked softly, “Father, should we follow and protect Mother?”
Although the little bun knew his mother was powerful and did not need their protection, he still could not help but worry.
Feng Yili said mockingly, “Let’s go. Coincidentally, I also want to enter the palace to reject the marriage.”
With that, Feng Yili carried the little bun in his arms and walked out of the residence.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xiuran, who thought it would be boring to stay in the residence, hurried after Feng Yili.
The Universal Sacred Palace.
Li Xu was surprised when he saw Yu Yunxi.
“Eldest, Eldest Princess, what’s the matter?”
“I want to see Grandfather. Is he in the palace?” Yu Yunxi asked seriously.
“The Emperor Emeritus is indeed in the palace. I’ll go and report your arrival to him now,” Li Xu said.
However, before Li Xu could leave, Yu Yunxi stopped him, saying, “There’s no need for that. I’ll go in and see him directly.”
Without waiting for a response, Yu Yunxi walked in after she finished speaking.
“Eldest Princess, you can’t…
Li Xu was anxious to death. If the Emperor Emeritus’ actions in the palace were seen by others, everyone would be punished.
When Yu Yunxi walked in, she saw the Emperor Emeritus dressed in a white Daoist robe and holding a pure white rabbit in his arms. He looked as though he was coaxing a small child as he cuddled the rabbit and said, “Little Darling, listen to me…”
Yu Yunxi:
Meng Xia and Qian Qing:
Everyone:
‘It’s over. Will the Emperor Emeritus silence the Eldest Princess?’
Yu Yunxi could not take it anymore. She cleared her throat lightly.
Upon hearing this, the expression of Chu Ruishi, the Emperor Emeritus, turned cold immediately. He quickly turned around and saw Yu Yunxi standing nearby. He quickly regained his composure and handed the rabbit to Li Xu before he said threateningly, “Take good care of my little darling. If it loses a strand of hair, I’ll chop your head off.”
Li Xu felt like crying.
‘This is a rabbit. How can it not shed fur?’
Li Xu knew that Chu Ruishi must blame him for failing to stop Yu Yunxi. After all, this had ruined Chu Ruishi’s wise and mighty image.
Chu Ruishi turned back to Yu Yunxi and said sarcastically, “Hmph, what brings you here? My Universal Sacred Palace is really honored to be graced with your presence.”
Yu Yunxi was speechless.
‘This old man’s personality is really strange…’
After a beat, Yu Yunxi bowed and said, “Yunxi greets Grandfather.”
This was their first one-on-one meeting after all, and she had to be polite.
“Tell me, why did you come to me? Don’t tell me it’s because of the Capital Academy’s assessment. The Eldest Princess of Xichu can’t fall behind others. If you can’t pass the assessment, you can get lost,” Chu Ruishi said crudely, waving his hands.
Meng Xia was afraid that Yu Yunxi would be upset. She called out worriedly, “Eldest Princess…’
However, Yu Yunxi’s expression did not change at all. She did not feel happy or sad. After all, she had not known the old man for long and did not have any feelings for him. He wanted the perfect Eldest Princess of Xichu while she needed to stabilize her foundation in Xichu. They were just taking what they needed from each other.
Yu Yunxi walked over and said seriously, “Grandfather, I didn’t come because of the assessment. I’m here about the curse that made me lose my memory. I wonder how much you know about the curse.”
Chu Ruishi’s eyes shone with hostility as soon as he heard the word ‘curse’. He raised his head and questioned coldly, “Who told you about it?”
Chu Ruishi glanced at Meng Xia murderously after saying that.
Yu Yunxi’s heart sank when she sensed Chu Ruishi’s murderous intent toward Meng Xia.
‘He seems very resistant to this matter…’
Yu Yunxi moved to stand in front of Meng Xia before she calmly said,
“Grandfather. no one told me about this. I investigated the matter and found out about it myself. I’m human after all. After losing my memories, how can I just sit back and do nothing?”
Chu Ruishi only snorted coldly. It was impossible to tell if he believed Yu Yunxi or not. After a while, he said coldly, “This is your fate. There’s no way to resolve it. If you force yourself to remember, you’ll lose your life.”
“But 1…”
Yu Yunxi wanted to say that she had already begun to have vague memories of her past, but when she saw the icy expression on Chu Ruishi’s face, she trailed off. She lowered her gaze before she finally said softly, “Let’s not talk a

“Your past? Your mother took you away, and you grew up in the countryside. Later, your mother passed away due to an illness so I sent someone to bring you back. It’s just that simple. What else do you want to know?” Chu Ruishi said impatiently..
