She was afraid of the itchiness, and that itchy feeling made her heart itch as well.

Just as the sun was about to break, Su Beiqian came in in a panic. He threw the new confession to Zhai Yun and said, "Sign it now."

Zhai Yun gritted her teeth, her voice weak, "I won't sign until that scholar dies."

Hearing this, Su Beiqian's eyes became even uglier, "Someone come here."

Several big men walked in, grabbed Zhai Yun's hand and were about to ask her to sign, but Zhai Yun struggled to resist.

It seems that the attempt to assassinate the scholar failed.

It was not until this moment that Zhai Yun felt somewhat grateful to the person who compiled the laws for the court. The confession had to be signed and fingerprinted for it to be valid.

Zhai Yun was unwilling, and they could not force her to write down her full name.

Looking at the several damaged confessions, Su Beiqian became anxious. "Torture him. No matter if he lives or dies."

Now he doesn't even care about Zhai Yun's life or death. It seems that the situation is not favorable for Concubine Su!

When Zhai Yun was dragged away, she felt so happy seeing Su Beiqian anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

They didn't dare to touch Zhai Yun's hands, for fear that she would not be able to write. It really hurt when the whip fell on her body.

Seeing that Zhai Yun refused to compromise, they poured pepper water on her.

It felt like ten thousand ants were gnawing at her flesh and blood. Zhai Yun screamed in pain: "Ah——"

The feeling of being bitten by an ant was itchy and painful, causing her body to tremble with pain. In just a moment, large beads of sweat fell from Zhai Yun's forehead.

"If you feel the pain, just confess quickly!" Su Beiqian urged.

Zhai Yun was extremely afraid of this feeling. The pain and itchiness in her body pulled at her heart, and even her heart began to ache.

"Dream on." Zhai Yun said coldly.

The whip fell on his body again, and the broken places began to itch and hurt.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, and someone shouted loudly, "The Emperor has decreed that the palace maid Yun'er be executed immediately."

Zhai Yun suddenly felt no pain, and the huge stone in her heart fell to the ground.

She's still going to die.

The people who came were eunuchs from the palace. They turned a blind eye to Zhai Yun's injuries and just gave her a cup of poisoned wine.

Zhai Yun was forced to drink the wine, which made her cough repeatedly.

Before losing consciousness, Zhai Yun only saw the eunuch turning and leaving.

What a tyrant! Zhai Yun cursed him in her heart.

Just like what Zhai Yun remembered, right and wrong were unclear.

Zhai Yun originally thought that after her death she would return to the eighteen levels of hell and suffer the pain of being burned by fire, because she died before she had time to change anything.

She didn't expect to wake up in a bumpy carriage.

The wounds on my body have been cleaned and there is no itching, only pain caused by excessive movement.

"Yun'er, you finally woke up." Feng Chenyi's face appeared in front of Zhai Yun.

Zhai Yun looked at him in surprise, "Am I not dead?"

"I replaced the medicine with a fake death potion." Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun seriously and said, "We've already left the city and are on our way to the Northern Wasteland."

Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi in surprise. She didn't know how he managed to change the dressing.

But did they just leave the city like that? "What about Concubine Su? Was she punished?"

She also wanted to overthrow the Third Prince, and before she left, she saw him fall from the clouds.

Feng Chenyi couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard what Zhai Yun said. "Concubine Su was banished to the cold palace, and the scholar was executed. There's no conclusive evidence that they really had sex, so this is the only possible outcome."

"Is there no one investigating the matter of the outsider entering the palace?" Zhai Yun was a little surprised. Concubine Su's brother used the power of the chief guard to help the scholar enter the palace for secret meetings many times.

Concubine Su's family knew about this but deliberately covered it up. Aren't they going to be punished?

"The person was brought into the palace by the third prince, and father has ordered him to reflect on his mistakes." Feng Chenyi said it lightly, but Zhai Yun could feel the helplessness in his heart.

"Just reflection? Then why were you executed? Why did you leave in such a hurry?" Zhai Yun had so many questions that her tone of voice was a little unhappy.

"My father blamed me for spreading rumors in front of the Queen Mother, so he executed you as a warning. He also ordered me to set off for the Northern Wilderness immediately." Feng Chenyi didn't want to say it, but he didn't want to deceive Zhai Yun.

Zhai Yun originally thought that this time she could use the secret meeting as she did in her previous life to uproot Concubine Su and her family power, but she was too naive.

They are just children now, and what they say may not be convincing enough. More importantly, their words are not influential.

Feng Chenyi patted Zhai Yun's head and forced a smile: "Yun'er, don't think too much. I was wondering how to get you out of the palace and take you to the Northern Wilderness. There are military regulations that women are not allowed to enter the barracks."

Zhai Yun had also heard of this rule when she was in the harem in her previous life.

Feng Chenyi continued, "It's all good now. The palace maid Yun'er is dead. From now on, there's only the Northern Wasteland soldier Zhai Yun."

Yes! Zhai Yun almost forgot that the surname Zhai was also given to her by Feng Chenyi.

In his previous life, he had planned to take her to the military camp, but he was afraid of arousing suspicion by not having a surname, so he gave her a surname.

Later, Zhai Yun did not go, but he still told her the surname and taught her how to write this character.

Zhai Yun slammed her hammer into the carriage. "What a shame! I thought I could avenge the Third Prince's insult before I leave."

Feng Chenyi helped Zhai Yun lie down and said, "I don't know when I'll be back. Don't think about the palace anymore."

Although Feng Chenyi was right, Zhai Yun still couldn't swallow this anger. Even someone like Sun Chunan was brought into the palace by the third prince to humiliate her.

His methods are becoming more and more cold and despicable.

Feng Chenyi touched Zhai Yun's furrowed brow, his eyes filled with apology, "Yun'er, I'm sorry. I wasn't fully grown yet, and I couldn't protect you well in the palace. Are you still afraid?"

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun now, his mind filled with Zhai Yun who was like a wandering soul after killing Sun Chunan that day.

When Concubine Su was brought back to the palace for interrogation, Feng Chenyi couldn't find Zhai Yun anywhere.

I only went to look for him when I heard someone shouting that someone was murdered.

Before leaving, he had been praying that nothing would happen to Zhai Yun, but when he saw Zhai Yun stumbling towards him, covered in blood, with a pale face, lifeless eyes, and torn clothes, Feng Chenyi's heart sank to the bottom.

What has she been through?

After learning what happened and hearing that Sun Chunan was dead, Feng Chenyi was only thinking.

It’s a good death.

No matter how much they bullied Zhai Yun in the past, it was just a small fight. This time, their methods were truly unacceptable.

But my father is really partial. Even though Concubine Su had a secret meeting with someone, he just banished her to the cold palace and still doted on the third prince.

The third prince Feng Chenmu secretly brought outsiders into the palace, one of them secretly met with his mother, and the other bullied the palace maids who had not grown up.
