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

Duan Yi'an looked at Zhai Yun. He knew that Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were different. Once they made up their minds about something, no matter how many people stood in their way, they could overcome any obstacle.

Just as he had expected, during the standoff, Zhai Yun struck first, taking down the person blocking the doorway with a speed invisible to ordinary people, and coldly ordered: "Search! Dig three feet into the ground! If anything happens, the Prince Rui's Mansion will take responsibility!"

Seeing the Dali Temple and the Northern Suburbs Army surging in like a tidal wave, Lord Lu was heartbroken and slapped his thigh repeatedly: "This is outrageous! Outrageous! The Prince Rui's mansion just ransacked Master Ke's house, and they can't wait to take action against me! I am his father-in-law, and my daughter is still lying in a sickbed!"

Lord Lu's cries attracted a large crowd, who pointed and whispered among themselves at Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun, "Is there no one in charge of the Prince Rui's mansion? Is the Emperor just going to watch the Prince Rui's mansion run rampant like this?"

"The Prince Rui's mansion is all-powerful, turning black into white. The Phoenix Kingdom will be destroyed by his hands sooner or later!"

Zhai Yun angrily searched through the crowd for the person who had said those words. She couldn't believe that someone who could utter such outrageous remarks was just an ordinary citizen.

Her hand was grabbed, and Zhai Yun turned her head to see Feng Chenyi shaking his head at her. He said, "Don't pay any attention to them! If you get angry, you're playing right into their hands!"

Those people are just hoping that the people of Prince Rui's mansion will lose control and kill one or two ordinary people in full view of everyone! That way, they can better smear Prince Rui's mansion!

Zhai Yun suppressed her anger. She believed that one day the storm would pass and the sun would shine through. Once Ke Ci and his mastermind's crimes were exposed, they would all regret their words!

Despite Lord Lu's cries of injustice and the onlookers' harsh criticism, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi endured it all!

Half an incense stick later, the searchers carried a corpse out of the Marquis's residence. When Marquis Lu saw a body being carried out of his own mansion, his eyes widened in shock. He forgot to protest his innocence and pointed at the corpse, saying, "This...this..."

The body was covered with a white sheet. Zhai Yun specially had the body moved to the center so that the people could see what the people they had just helped had done.

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun, who was in control of everything, dismounted, and gently lifted the white cloth. In order to let everyone see more clearly, Zhai Yun completely tore off the white cloth.

She was the first to exclaim, "This...this...how could this be Master Ke? How could Master Ke's body be in the Marquis's residence!" After saying this, Zhai Yun turned to Marquis Lu and said sarcastically, "My lord! Didn't you say that the person you took from the Dali Temple last night wasn't Master Ke? Then explain how Master Ke ended up in your residence, and how he died!"

Lord Lu stumbled over and, upon seeing that it was Master Ke lying on the ground, froze, his ruddy cheeks turning deathly pale. He collapsed to the ground!

"No...no...how is this possible!" Lord Lu looked at Master Ke's corpse in disbelief. He looked at the crowd he had just called to watch, their eyes now filled with disgust, hatred and twisted hatred.

Prince Rui attracted thousands of assassins simply by imprisoning Master Ke. Now that Master Ke has died in his mansion, will the Lu family even see the sun rise tomorrow?

Lord Lu was so terrified that he cried out in despair, "No, it wasn't me! It wasn't me who killed him!"

Looking at the terrified and bewildered Marquis Lu, Zhai Yun turned to Duan Yi'an and said, "Isn't His Majesty waiting for you and the Prince to bring Master Ke to meet him? If you're late, His Majesty will be worried!"

Upon hearing the words "meet the Emperor," Lord Lu scrambled to grab Zhai Yun's foot, shouting, "You're not allowed to go! You're not allowed to go! I didn't kill Master Ke! You're not allowed to see the Emperor!"

Feng Chenyi coldly kicked away Lord Lu's hand that was holding Zhai Yun's foot. He covered his wound and coughed lightly, "Cough cough, Yun'er, Master Ke has unfortunately died. I have to go to the palace to see the Emperor. You should go back to your residence and rest!"

The reason Feng Chenyi deliberately mentioned Master Ke's death was that he wanted to say that with Master Ke dead, Zhai Yun could finally breathe a sigh of relief and get some rest!

Zhai Yun nodded in agreement. With Master Ke dead, they no longer needed to fear a prison break all the time, nor did they need to shuttle back and forth between the Dali Temple and the Prince Rui's residence.

As soon as the Dali Temple and the Northern Suburbs Army left, the onlookers gathered around and threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at Lord Lu. No matter how hard the people of the Lu family tried to stop them, they couldn't!

Finally, the people of the Lu family carried the altar of Marquis Lu back to the mansion and closed the gate tightly.

Zhai Yun returned to the Prince Rui's mansion and looked at the gate and the crimson curse on the wall that was gradually being covered up. Ke Ci was dead, and those people were completely hopeless.

Those who once hated the Prince Rui's Mansion will now turn their anger towards the Marquis Lu's Mansion, no longer controlled by anyone behind the scenes. They will demand justice from the Lu family just as they did from the Prince Rui's Mansion!

The Prince Rui's mansion survived this ordeal, but it's uncertain whether the Marquis's mansion has the same ability!

Zhai Yun first went to see Qinuo Province II and the wounded assassins. The doctor said that they had just recovered from their fevers and their injuries still needed to heal slowly. Zhai Yun then went to see Lou Yexue and his maid.

Lou Yexue is much better now. When Zhai Yun went there, he was standing under a ginkgo tree, with golden ginkgo leaves covering the ground like a golden carpet.

A gust of wind blew, and the ginkgo leaves falling from the trees fluttered down like golden snow. Lou Yexue, dressed in a white dress that was even more beautiful than snow, stood there, looking exceptionally lovely.

Immortals are indeed different from mortals. He stood there, and all the beautiful scenery around him became mere background. Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around, his eyes as clear as light and as cold as ice.

Upon seeing Zhai Yun, he said calmly, "Since you're here, come in!"

Lou Yexue's words made it seem as if Zhai Yun was the guest and he was the host. Zhai Yun had no intention of arguing about such things. He simply stepped forward and said, "Do you need me to find you a doctor? What kind of herbs do you need? Just tell me. The Prince Rui's mansion can only obey your orders now."

Although Zhai Yun vaguely felt that he had transcended worldly affairs and did not need these things, not asking a single question made her seem disrespectful to her guest!

Lou Yexue gently plucked a ginkgo leaf that had fallen onto his shawl with his fair, snow-white hands. His tone was indifferent: "No need. I haven't fully recovered my memories yet. I need to stay at the Prince Rui's residence! During this time, I don't want any outsiders to disturb me!"

Zhai Yun hesitated. Seeing her hesitation, Lou Yexue took out a box from somewhere and handed it to Zhai Yun, gesturing for her to open it.

Zhai Yun slowly opened the box, revealing a large, round box full of pearls. Even Zhai Yun, who had seen mountains of gold and silver and countless jewels, was dumbfounded. She took out one pearl and examined it carefully.

These large, round pearls, with their rich color and luster, are extremely rare and priceless! Lou Yexue could easily produce a box of them, and Zhai Yun held the box, unable to put it down!
