Yu Yunxi’s expression turned even more grave when she heard Chu Ruishi’s words. After all, if even her grandfather could not find the culprit, it only meant that the culprit was quite capable.

Yu Yunxi asked bluntly, “Does it have anything to do with the Emperor?”

Chu Ruishi was not angry that Yu Yunxi suspected his son. He looked at her expressionlessly as he said, “Initially, I had the same thoughts as you. However, this matter really has nothing to do with him. Although I haven’t been able to find the culprit after all these years, there’s some evidence that makes me suspect that this matter has something to do with the imperial family of Tianxia.”

Chu Ruishi’s tone was very cold nearing the end of his words.

‘What?’

Yu Yunxi’s heart tightened when she heard these words. She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug painfully into her palms. Perhaps due to her anxiety, she did not seem to feel the pain at all.

“Grandfather, why would Tianxia harm you or Mother? They…”

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was about to speak up for the imperial family of Tianxia, Chu Ruishi’s gaze suddenly turned dangerous as he asked, “Have you found out about your previous identity?”

Since they had come to this point, Yu Yunxi did not want to hide this matter any longer. She inhaled deeply before she replied truthfully, “Yes. I knew who I was for a while now.’

“Don’t even think about returning to find that brat, Feng Yili,” Chu Ruishi said in a tone that brooked no argument.

Yu Yunxi felt her head ache when she thought about how to obtain her grandfather’s blessings to be with Feng Yili and the little bun in the future.

After a moment, she said patiently, “Grandfather, more than twenty years ago, Feng Yili was only a few years old. Whether someone from the imperial family of Tianxia harmed Mother or not, it definitely has nothing to do with Feng Yili.”

“You! You’re really bewitched by him!”

Chu Ruishi slammed his hand on the table fiercely. He was so angry that his heart ached.

Li Xu hurriedly ran over and supported Chu Ruishi. At the same time, he said anxiously, “Eldest Princess, please don’t say anymore!”

Li Xu took a deep breath before he continued to say, “Eldest Princess, your mother was killed by those bast*rds from Tianxia! How can you speak up for the people of Tianxia?”

Li Xu’s expression was earnest as he continued to say, “Eldest Princess, I know you have a grudge against the Emperor Emeritus for not bringing you back earlier. However, your mother was very smart. After escaping from Xichu, she erased all her traces. The Emperor Emeritus and the King of Zhenbei spared no efforts to find her, but they still couldn’t find her. In fact, we only found you because someone wrote a letter to the Emperor Emeritus!”

‘That’s right. Someone wrote a letter to Grandfather… Who is he?’

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. Logically speaking, since her mother had hidden their identities so well, no one should be aware of her real identity. She could also tell that Chu Ruishi and Li Xu did not intend to reveal the other party’s identity.

Li Xu wiped his tears away as he continued to say, “Also, Eldest Princess, did

you know that when you were sent back to Xichu, you were seriously injured?

You were injured by the consort of the Emperor of Tianxia. If that person did

not help you, you would have…”

Yu Yunxi’s frown deepened. In fact, she had heard about these things from Meng Xia previously, but after hearing about it again, her anger surged, and her aura turned cold.

Li Xu braced himself and continued to say, “That’s why, Eldest Princess, Tianxia is our enemy. If it wasn’t for the fact that we don’t want you to have any ties with the people of Tianxia and that we want to keep your identities a secret, the Emperor Emeritus would have definitely declared war on Tianxia!”

At this time, Chu Ruishi launched into a coughing fit, stimulated by his anger.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yunxi could not bear it anymore. She quickly reached out and patted Chu Ruishi’s back to calm him down.

Suddenly, Chu Ruishi looked at her and said sternly, “I forbid you to have any more contact with Tianxia.”

Yu Yunxi opened her mouth, intending to protest. She was not stupid. She knew the matter had nothing to do with Feng Yili and the little bun, and it would be unfair to penalize them for it. However, when she saw the state her grandfather was in, her heart softened.

“Okay,” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice.

‘It’s fine if I don’t contact Feng Yili… He’ll come looking for me anyway…’

Seeing that Yu Yunxi had acquiesced, Chu Ruishi’s expression eased slightly.

However, Yu Yunxi suddenly said, “But Grandfather… Although I don’t have my memories, I found out that I have a son. I…

She wanted to say that she and Feng Yili had a son together, and it would be impossible for them to sever ties.

Chu Ruishi did not give her a chance to finish her words before he said, “Don’t worry about this matter. I’ve already sent people to Tianxia. Once the time is right, we’ll definitely bring the child back. He has the blood of the imperial family of Xichu running through his veins! We’ll raise him ourselves. There’s no need to trouble the people of Tianxia!”

Yu Yunxi:

‘So Grandfather wants me to abandon the father and only accept the son?’

In any case, Yu Yunxi still managed to glean information from Chu Ruishi’s words. It was clear that he did not know that Feng Yili was the King of

Youshan.

‘That’s good. Otherwise, Feng Yili would be in danger…’

“What are you thinking?” Chu Ruishi suddenly asked. He looked at her with a probing gaze as though he was trying to read her mind.

Yu Yunxi’s expression stiffened slightly as she replied softly, “It’s nothing.” ‘I can’t let Grandfather notice anything…

Yu Yunxi suppressed her emotions and deliberately changed the topic, asking, “Grandfather, did you make me kneel today to put on a show for those people?” Chu Ruishi snorted and said, “What do you think? You’re so high profile. If I didn’t do anything, I’d have to collect your corpse for you sooner or later.”

The corners of Yu Yunxi’s lips curled up slightly. Although Chu Ruishi was fierce, she could sense his concern for her. It was clear that her grandfather cared about her a lot. At this moment, the little bit of dissatisfaction and resentment she felt toward him previously also vanished.

Yu Yunxi lowered her head and said seriously, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

Chu Ruishi looked at her. Originally, he still wanted to say a word or two. However, when he recalled that she had been punished to kneel earlier, he silently swallowed the harsh words at the tip of his tongue. Then, he asked, “I heard you’re going to open a medical hall?”

“Yes. Didn’t Mother open the Revival Hall back then and save many people? I want to follow in her footsteps,” Yu Yunxi quickly said.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ruishi’s expression was a little cold when he heard this, but it was not directed at Yu Yunxi. He said, “Do you know how much the people of Xichu hated your mother when news of her attempted murder spread? Until now, there are still people cursing her. As her daughter, you’d definitely be implicated. Hence, things won’t be easy for you after you open the medical hall. ”

Yu Yunxi’s expression was gloomy when she heard these words.

‘That’s right. Mother is infamous in Xichu. This was also probably the reason she was unwilling to return to Xichu…’

Yu Yunxi raised her head and looked at Chu Ruishi. Her eyes were clear as she said resolutely, “I’m not afraid. Not only do I want to save people, but I also want to remind people of Mother’s goodness through my medical skills. I don’t want people to curse even after she’s gone..”
