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

His brows were furrowed.

During the years since he left the palace, no one had ever mentioned his mother to him. Today, when he met an old friend of his mother's, that old friend blamed him for not taking revenge earlier.

He also felt guilty and conflicted.

Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi's frown and tried to comfort him: "Brother Yi, since your mother is not from here, maybe she has returned to where she belongs."

Feng Chenyi paused, his brows suddenly relaxed, and the moment he looked up at Zhai Yun, his eyes were filled with moisture.

Zhai Yun had been without a mother since she was a child. She didn't know how to comfort Feng Chenyi. "I'm sorry, Brother Yi, I don't understand what your mother means to you, and I made an unwarranted judgment."

Feng Chenyi continued to water the flowers. Because Zhai Yun had no mother, he never talked much about his mother in front of Zhai Yun.

He also did not tell Zhai Yun how much he missed his mother.

Compared to others, he was very unfortunate, but compared to Zhai Yun, he seemed a little luckier because he had been raised and accompanied by his mother.

"You are right. Maybe she has already gone to the place she has always wanted to go." Even if his mother could not return to where she came from, with her kind nature, she should be reborn into a good family.

"My mother never liked the palace. Leaving you is a relief for her."

Just then a soldier came over with a bowl of chicken soup and walked straight up to Zhai Yun.

Zhai Yun looked at the greasy thing and couldn't help begging for mercy: "Brother Yi, can I not drink it? I am in good health now."

Feng Chenyi didn't even look at Zhai Yun, but said coldly: "No."

Although Zhai Yun knew this would be the result, she still couldn't help wanting to try it. What if one day she didn't need to drink these nourishing soups like medicine?

Zhai Yun didn't put the wine in the bowl, but picked up the cup and started drinking it, which surprised Qi Nuo who was standing behind her.

Zhai Yun drank up the full bowl of soup. She turned the bowl over and said, "Here, I'm done. I'll be good!"

Feng Chenyi's lips slowly formed a smile, and all the bad emotions just now faded away. "If we can sleep in separate rooms, he will be more obedient."

Zhai Yun jumped up from the ground anxiously and playfully took Feng Chenyi's arm, "I still have to protect Brother Yi, no."

Feng Chenyi's smile widened when he heard what Zhai Yun said, "Can you beat me or Qi Nuo?"

Zhai Yun was speechless after being confronted, "So you have to protect me!"

Whenever he faced the cheating Zhai Yun, Feng Chenyi's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Zhai Yun looked at the flowers, plants, and trees that were still drooping after being watered by Feng Chenyi, and couldn't help but sigh: "These flowers and plants have been watered for so long, but they still don't grow well. Brother Yi, you might as well be nicer to me. I can still grow taller."

When Feng Chenyi heard what Zhai Yun said, he knocked her head with the scoop in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll give you an extra pig's trotter tomorrow."

"Ah! Don't." Zhai Yun's expression at this moment was even uglier than crying, and what she said was not about the diet.

Feng Chenyi had to go to the military camp during the day and return to the secret room to practice martial arts at night. With Qi Nuo's protection, Zhai Yun could finally walk around with peace of mind.

Zhai Yun had never been to the streets for a walk in such a long time. The streets of Fengling City were not as prosperous as those of the imperial capital. The streets were full of daily necessities.

There are many inns and restaurants for traveling caravans to rest.

Zhai Yun wandered around the street for a long time and finally found a restaurant to rest.

As soon as Zhai Yun sat down, she heard voices coming from all directions.

"Although Fengli Country is rich in products, Fengling City is desolate. We can only go to Shanyang City, a hundred miles away, to purchase them. Some fresh fruits are in great demand, but they can't even be transported to Tianjin Country."

"Yes! Bandits are rampant now, and it's even more difficult to transport goods to the Sky Ember Kingdom. Last month, several caravans were killed on their way to the Sky Ember Kingdom. You can see that there are fewer caravans now."

"Alas. Scarcity makes things valuable. The less you have, the more expensive it is. Although it's dangerous, I don't care when I think about my family who are waiting for food and oil to be cooked."

"Yes, although the Sky Ember Nation is in the middle of the desert, the gold there is enough to build houses. Anything that is scarce will have a price but no market."

"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger!"

While Zhai Yun was listening to them talking, she had already drunk all the wine in the pot.

I touched my wallet and found that I had no money left.

Such a large military camp is supported by the military pay from the court. I used to think that General Shi was stingy. He had a salary, but he didn't even give Feng Chenyi any pocket money.

Now that I see that he has to support so many assassins, I realize how difficult it is for him.

Seeing that the wine was all gone and it was getting late, Zhai Yun walked home angrily.

At night, there was no light on the streets of Fengling City except for the faint lights coming from a few houses. Except for that restaurant, everywhere else was pitch black.

That is the only busy street in the whole city.

There are many farmlands here, but crops cannot be grown because there is no water.

Zhai Yun was walking on the dark street when suddenly the wind and sand blinded her eyes. For a moment she could not tell the direction and could not move forward.

A figure suddenly stood in front of Zhai Yun and a cloak was wrapped around her.

"Didn't I tell you not to run around alone?" Feng Chenyi's cold voice came.

Zhai Yun was drunk and couldn't help but hug Feng Chenyi. She put her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. She said pitifully, "There's sand in my eyes."

As soon as Feng Chenyi appeared, he blocked the direction of the wind. Zhai Yun could only throw herself into his arms to avoid being hit by the wind and sand.

Feng Chenyi gently held up Zhai Yun's face with his slender hands, "That eye."

"Right eye," Zhai Yun answered honestly.

Feng Chenyi gently rubbed Zhai Yun's upper and lower eyelids and blew gently.

A cool breeze blew into Zhai Yun's sore eyes. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, she saw Feng Chenyi's expression as he blew air seriously, and she instantly forgot the discomfort in her eyes.

His facial features are very delicate, with a high nose bridge and thin lips. Although he is baptized by wind and sand all day long, his face is still smooth, delicate and white as jade.

After drinking, Zhai Yun also became bolder and reached out to touch Feng Chenyi's beautiful lips.

Feng Chenyi was stunned by her, and Qi Nuo, who followed him, quickly turned around.

"Your eyes don't hurt anymore." Feng Chenyi asked coldly.

The moment she opened her mouth to speak, a breath fluttered on Zhai Yun's fingertips. Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi's lips and said infatuatedly, "You've grown so tall, much taller than me."

"How much did you drink?" Feng Chenyi couldn't help but speak coldly.

Zhai Yun immediately withdrew her hand like a child who had been caught, "I didn't drink, I didn't... burp~"
