Everyone knelt down to listen to the order, and Yun Xi read it aloud.

There was nothing else to say. When Emperor Deshun learned that Prince An and Lin Luoling were planning their wedding at Jingfu Temple, he was furious. He ordered Eunuch Yunxi to bring Prince An, Lin Luoling, Princess July, and Lin Tingxu and his wife back to the capital without delay after reading the imperial edict.

Princess July raised her head, opened her eyes wide, and asked, "How will the Emperor's uncle punish my cousin and his wife?"

Eunuch Yunxi held the imperial edict in front of His Royal Highness Prince An with both hands and replied, "How can I know what His Majesty is thinking? His Majesty is really furious. Please, Your Royal Highness Prince An and Princess July, pack up as soon as possible and return to the capital with me!"

At this time, Jiang Chi lazily fanned himself and walked into the hall. He bowed to Yun Xi and said, "I heard that Master Yun was here, so I hurried over to pay my respects. It just so happens that my mother was going back to the capital yesterday. I wonder if she can go with you?"

"Oh! Young Master Jiang is also in Jingfu Temple? Not long ago, His Majesty rewarded Ningyuan Hou with a Ferghana horse. Wow, it's really a rare good horse. He also sent several wild deer. There are not many things that His Majesty would remember so much!"

Yun Xi smiled kindly, but his words were full of meaning. Lin Luoling couldn't tell for a moment whether Eunuch Yun Xi disliked Jiang Chi or was using these words to give Jiang Chi a hint.

Jiang Chi chuckled and said, "My father likes BMWs, and I like drinking and eating meat with Master Yun. When we return to Beijing, if Master Yun is free, come to my house for a few drinks. I will personally roast venison for him. After we are full, wouldn't it be nice for us to have a few more moves?"

Jiang Chi's invitation to Yun Xi didn't seem to be sincere.

Lin Luoling thought Jiang Chi was just being polite, but Yun Xi said with a fake smile: "It's settled."

Lin Luoling suddenly felt that it was impossible to tell whether Eunuch Yun Xi was good or bad to someone from his expression, behavior, and tone. Even Eunuch Yun Xi's temperament and emotions were difficult to figure out.

Could this be because I have been with His Majesty for so long?

Lin Luoling had heard He Jinchun say several times that the people in the harem were all flatterers of the powerful and looked down on the weak, and were very difficult to get along with.

After Prince An stood up, he helped Lin Luoling beside him to stand up and said, "General Manager Yun, please let me pack up and I will follow you to the capital."

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Chi and said, "Since you want to go with us, why don't you hurry back to the Lin Mansion to bring your mother over? This prince and Princess July will not go back to Prince An's Mansion. We will take some daily necessities and go directly to the capital from Jingfu Temple."

Jiang Chi closed his fan, clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince An."

Seeing this, Yun Xi's eyes darkened slightly. He smiled meaningfully at Prince An and sat down on a wide chair at one side of the hall.

Princess July ordered her personal maid to make Yun Xi a cup of the best Xue Ze Yin Lu.

Prince An ordered Gu Shun to prepare her clothes and other necessary things, as well as the things needed for Lin Luoling, and have the Silver Feather Guards escort them back to the capital. He asked Gu Shun and Xiao Meng to return to Prince An's Mansion to watch over the gate.

Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were also going to follow Yun Xi back to the capital. The two looked at each other, and He Jinchun stepped forward and whispered in Lin Luoling's ear: "Your Majesty is right to be angry for a while. No matter how big the problem is, your father and I will always support you. Let's go to the capital together."

Yun Xi took a sip of the teacup, lowered his eyelids, and said in a tone that seemed to be a conversation, but not a conversation at all: "Don't be frightened. If His Majesty is extremely angry, how could he allow you to come to the capital to meet him? This is not an imperial decree to order you to come to the capital, but an imperial decree to sentence you to death.

His Royal Highness Prince An is a thoughtful person, and he must have figured out that this is a secret decree. Apart from His Majesty and my family, there are a few others who are listening to the decree, and no one else knows about it."

Prince An and Lin Tingxu bowed to Yun Xi and said, "Thank you, Steward Yun, for your advice."

Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't respond.

Lin Luoling wondered, it was normal for her father to be respectful to Yun Xi, after all, her father had no official position, so why was Prince An so respectful to Yun Xi?

I had doubts in my mind, but it was not the best time to ask in private.

Princess July snorted, "I will not ride in the same carriage with you in a while. Don't even think about riding in my carriage."

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Princess July is not riding in the same carriage with us. Is there someone else sitting there? Is it inconvenient for us to be there?"

"What are you talking about? I'm just angry with you." Princess July's face turned red and she stamped her feet.

Yun Xi coaxed, "We have said everything we can, and Princess Qiyue is still angry?"

Princess Qiyue's deer eyes flickered, and she pulled Yunxi and said coquettishly, "I have something to tell you. Come with me to a place."

Yun Xi seemed to know what Princess July was thinking. He stood up and left with her.

Lin Luoling guessed that Princess July deliberately took Eunuch Yunxi away to create an opportunity for them to plan a strategy to return to Beijing.

……

More than an hour later, a group of people got on the carriages, left Jingfu Temple in a mighty procession, and headed towards the capital.

Lin Luoling pushed aside the carriage curtain and peeked outside, then whispered in Prince An's ear, "Butler Yunxi seems to be very kind to Princess July. From what Young Master Jiang said, does Butler Yunxi know martial arts?"

Prince An nodded and said, "General Manager Yun Xi has been serving my father personally since he was young. He grew up with my father and is very loyal to him. He has been practicing martial arts since he was young just to protect my father.

Although the Silver Feather Guards obey orders from the Emperor, the recruitment and supervision of the Silver Feather Guards are all the responsibility of General Manager Yun Xi."

Prince An recounted the old events in detail, and Lin Luoling finally understood why Prince An respected Eunuch Yun Xi so much.
