Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

He was killed by a palace maid when he failed to bully her. This is something that is against the will of heaven.

His father only punished him by asking him to reflect on his actions.

But he was accused of spreading rumors and stirring up trouble.

Because this matter was shameful and not widely publicized, Zhai Yun's execution was also carried out in secret.

If the eunuch who delivered the poison had not been a little stupid and given him an opportunity when preparing the poison, he really couldn't imagine it.

Zhai Yun was somewhat moved when she saw Feng Chenyi's apologetic face. In fact, all these things were her fault. If she had restrained her edge on the day of her rebirth, she would not have provoked the Third Prince to do such extreme things.

"Brother Yi, I don't blame you. I was too careless."

In that deep palace, without anyone to rely on, she was like an ant. It was already good enough to be able to keep her life, and she even wanted to overthrow the third prince.

It's so whimsical.

Fortunately, she didn't have the chance to reveal that the third prince was not the blood of Emperor Xing'an, otherwise if such a royal scandal were to be exposed, she and Feng Chenyi might both lose their lives.

Feng Chenyi patted Zhai Yun's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. When we come back, those who bullied us and killed my mother will pay the price."

"Yes." Zhai Yun said with great determination.

Whether in his past life or this life, the death of Feng Chenyi's mother, Concubine Chen, is an indelible pain for him.

And Zhai Yun will stay with him until she comes back to help him find out the cause of his mother's death.

Looking at the imperial city gradually disappearing on the horizon, Feng Chenyi looked at General Shi Xing riding on horseback in front of the carriage.

Although the conditions in the Northern Wilderness were harsh this time, it was our territory.

The further north they went, the stronger the wind and sand became. After passing Wind Chime City, there was an endless desert to the north, and Wind Chime City was the destination of their trip.

There are many bandits and robbers north of Fengling City.

Further north is a small country in the desert called Sky Embers.

This was what General Shi Feng said when he took them to the city wall for inspection on the first day after arriving in Fengling City.

Fengling City is very desolate, with yellow sand everywhere and no grass growing. The only people living here are the elderly, the weak, women and children. Caravans heading to the Sky Ember Kingdom often stay here.

Because it is a border town, the city walls are still very solid and magnificent.

Standing on the city wall, you can see a hundred miles away and see the yellow sand desert.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi lived in General Shi’s mansion. It was not big, but it was also the best and largest house in the city.

When I sleep at night, I can often hear the wind whistling outside the house.

Zhai Yun turned over and heard Feng Chenyi's voice, "The desert is filled with solitary smoke, the long river is filled with the setting sun. The desert sand is like snow, the Yanshan moon is like a hook. Although this place is desolate, the stars here seem to be within reach, the beauty is beyond words."

Feng Chenyi was afraid that Zhai Yun would not dare to sleep alone, so he asked General Shi Xing to have the room rearranged so that Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi could live in the same room.

There were two beds placed side by side with a screen between them.

Zhai Yun was thinking about other things and asked casually, "Brother Yi, did General Shi Xing hire a teacher for you? And did he also let you go to the military camp to practice martial arts?"

"It's for us." Feng Chenyi replied.

Zhai Yun didn't learn calligraphy well in her previous life, but now that she is on the battlefield, learning martial arts can protect herself and help him at critical moments.

Feng Chenyi didn't wait for Zhai Yun to answer before continuing, "Uncle Shi said that if I beat him, he would hire a more powerful Mr. Wu for me."

Feng Chenyi could be heard getting off the bed and putting on shoes. "The moonlight is beautiful tonight. The moon on the city wall should be very beautiful. I'll take you to see it."

Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep. When she heard that she was going out, Zhai Yun was excited. She jumped up and put on her shoes neatly.

Feng Chenyi pulled Zhai Yun away from the soldiers in the mansion, and the two ran towards the city wall.

The moon in the desert was particularly bright, and the moonlight shone gently, stretching the shadows of Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi long.

Standing on the city wall, Zhai Yun saw the endless yellow sand reflected by the moonlight, and the waning moon hanging high in the sky with sparkling stars.

Zhai Yun stretched out her hand and jumped up happily, wanting to reach out and grab the stars. "Brother Yi, you didn't lie to me. These stars really seem to be within reach. They are so close to us."

Feng Chenyi also laughed when he saw Zhai Yun's happy expression. He originally thought that Zhai Yun would not be able to adapt.

Unexpectedly, she was much happier than him when she came here.

Zhai Yun tried to grab it for a long time but couldn't catch it. She pulled Feng Chenyi, who was staring at her in a daze, and said, "I'm not tall enough. Brother Yi, please help me catch it."

After hearing this, Feng Chenyi also imitated Zhai Yun, stretched out his hand and jumped up, wanting to pick the star and hold it in his hand.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi jumped higher and higher, both wanting to get one step closer to the stars.

In the end, both of them collapsed on the ground exhausted and simply lay down to look at the twinkling stars.

"Brother Yi, I like it here. The people here are very nice and the scenery is beautiful." Zhai Yun said sincerely, feeling more free and easy than ever before in her heart.

It feels like the whole sky belongs to me and I can fly freely.

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yunle's joy, and the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper. "I like it too."

It turns out that the desert is really beautiful. This is not the poor little town that everyone in the imperial city despises.

Feng Chenyi spent three years reading through historical records, the Four Books and Five Classics, strategies and tactics, and how to deploy troops. He transformed from a young and handsome little boy into a wise and decisive king.

The title of King Rui was conferred by Emperor Xing'an himself on the day he left the city.

On the training ground, Zhai Yun, dressed in soldier attire, watched the heroic Feng Chenyi knock down veterans who were stronger and older than him one by one with his kicks, and the corners of his mouth curled up with pride.

In the past three years, Feng Chenyi, in addition to the scheduled schoolwork, practiced martial arts during the day and studied hard at night without stopping.

He is no longer that child. His eyes seem to hold the whole world.

Seeing that today was the day when he and General Shi would fulfill their three-year bet, Zhai Yun was also worried for him.

General Shi is a burly man who has been a powerful figure on the battlefield for decades. No one can match his strength.

When General Shi appeared on the training ground, the whole field was in an uproar, "General Shi wins, General Shi wins."

Zhai Yun heard the soldiers around him whispering, "Prince Rui has been using us for martial arts practice all day long. No one in the entire barracks can defeat him. Today, someone can finally vent our anger and teach him a lesson."

Zhai Yun looked at those people and rolled her eyes, "It's still uncertain who will win."

Those people looked at Zhai Yun, their eyes suddenly turned panicked, and they pushed him: "He is the little soldier who served Prince Rui personally and accompanied him in studying literature and martial arts. Go away."

Zhai Yun watched them run away in panic, and looked herself up and down to see if she looked scary.

After being rescued from the palace by Feng Chenyi, she has been dressed as a man. At that time, she was so thin that she seemed to be just bones. In the past three years, in addition to practicing martial arts, she has been drinking various supplements every day.
