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

While the waiter went to find a doctor, Zhai Yun put a hot towel on Feng Chenyi's head, hoping that it would make him feel better.

He was no longer talking nonsense, but his brows were still furrowed. Zhai Yun reached out her hand and gently stroked his tightly furrowed brows, relaxing them. She leaned close to Feng Chenyi's ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Brother Yi. Yun'er will always be with you. You won't be alone."

If he hadn't been feverish and unconscious, Zhai Yun would never have known how much he missed his mother.

After the doctor came to see him, he prescribed some medicine. Zhai Yun hired a waiter to boil the medicine and only gave it to Feng Chenyi after confirming that it was not poisonous. After observing him for several times until Feng Chenyi's fever subsided, Zhai Yun was relieved.

Zhai Yun noticed that it was almost time, so she hired someone to find out if there were any caravans entering the city. She was afraid that they would encounter bandits again.

It was almost dark when there was finally movement outside the house. Zhai Yun opened the door and saw Mr. Rui rushing over. "How's Xiao Yiyi?"

Seeing Mr. Rui, Zhai Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. He must have arrived safely at the caravan. Zhai Yun replied, "The fever has subsided."

Mr. Rui only went to the bedside to take a look at Feng Chenyi before sitting up leisurely and drinking tea. "This kid is lucky and has a long life. He will be fine."

Zhai Yun looked at Mr. Rui, who was very worried a second ago but now looked like nothing had happened. She couldn't help but wonder if she had seen it wrong just now. He was not worried about Feng Chenyi.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and the junior, senior, fifth, and sixth year students appeared at the door one after another.

Da Wu, holding a box in his hands, walked over to Zhai Yun and opened it, revealing the glittering gold. "Captain, I've received the bounty. A full one thousand taels of gold."

Zhai Yun looked at the money in the box and asked, "Have those thugs been arranged with accommodation?"

Daliu replied, "It's been arranged. They're staying in a small inn not far from here."

Zhai Yun arranged the four of them in the rooms on the left and right, and Mr. Rui in the room opposite. Mr. Rui saw that Feng Chenyi was fine and asked Zhai Yun, "The night market in Tianjin Kingdom is first-class, many times more prosperous and luxurious than the imperial capital. Why don't I take him out for a stroll?"

Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi and said coldly, "I'm not going."

They had just arrived in Tianjin Country and were exhausted both physically and mentally from the journey. She needed to have a good rest. Feng Chenyi wasn't awake yet, so she didn't want to go out and play.

Mr. Rui saw that he was doing a thankless job, so he simply went by himself. After walking in the desert for a few days, Zhai Yun, who was guarding Feng Chenyi's bed, fell asleep unknowingly.

A cool breeze blew in the night, and Zhai Yun woke up with a start. Feng Chenyi was no longer on the bed, and behind her was the sound of a window closing.

"I woke you up." Feng Chenyi's voice came from behind him.

Zhai Yun turned to look at Feng Chenyi, who looked much better. She stood up and walked over to him, straightening his clothes. "Your fever has just subsided. Don't catch a cold."

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "I made you worry."

It would be fine if I didn't mention this, but I got angry the moment I mentioned Zhai Yun. "What are you talking about? You didn't say a word even when you were injured. You're going to make me angry to death."

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun's angry expression and said softly, "It's not a serious injury. It's okay."

"You've lost too much blood." Zhai Yun frowned and looked at Feng Chenyi. He would die if he bled out. Zhai Yun's face was full of grievance: "Brother Yi, can you please not do this next time?"

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun's aggrieved look and softened his voice, "Okay~"

The caravan had been safely delivered and was supposed to set off back to Fengli Country the next morning, but there was no sign of Mr. Rui. When they found Dawu and asked him, they learned that Mr. Rui had not returned at all.

"Master Rui is always punctual. It's impossible for him to not show up for no reason." Feng Chenyi frowned.

"Then let's go find him." Zhai Yun sent everyone out, and she and Feng Chenyi also went to the street to look for Mr. Rui.

Although the Kingdom of Neverburn is in the desert, all its houses are built with the best wood. There is no wood in the desert, so these woods are bought from other places.

About an hour later, Daliu came running over and said that he had found Mr. Rui.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi followed Daliu to an underground gambling den. The casino had been completely smashed to pieces. Before they even entered, they heard angry voices coming from inside: "If you don't pay me back, I'll burn this place down."

A man's voice came: "Don't make things difficult for her. I'll find a way to pay her back."

Zhai Yun felt that the voice was familiar. Feng Chenyi recognized the voice: "Master's voice."

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi hurried in and saw Mr. Rui in the center of the crowd, holding an injured woman in his arms.

The woman's mouth was bleeding, like broken porcelain. She was extremely beautiful, and at first glance she looked the kind that could arouse a man's pity, gentle and charming.

"It turns out that there really is a confidante." Zhai Yun whispered as she approached Feng Chenyi.

The sound of footsteps attracted Mr. Rui's attention. Mr. Rui was a little surprised to see Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun, "Why are you here?"

Feng Chenyi glanced at the burly men with a cold look.

The group of debt collectors slowly turned around and saw that the two people who came were two children. They turned around with disdain and said, "Wei Zi, if you can't pay today, no one else will help."

The burly man in the lead had a fierce look on his face and looked at Wei Zi with a scary look.

"If you have anything, come to me." Mr. Rui protected Wei Zi tightly.

Seeing that he couldn't get the money and was faced with more troubles, the burly man didn't want to delay any longer and just rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.

"How much worse is she than you?" Feng Chenyi asked coldly.

The burly man in the lead raised his head and squinted at Feng Chenyi, "Why, you want to pay it back for her?"

"That's all you need to say." Feng Chenyi spoke coldly again, not wanting to say a word more to these people.

Mr. Rui looked at Feng Chenyi with an anxious look on his face, "Xiao Yiyi, don't worry about it, you guys go first."

Wei Zi in his arms weakly pushed Mr. Rui and said, "You go first, don't worry about me." After she said that, she coughed a few times, as if she had internal injuries.

Mr. Rui's eyes were full of heartache, "Shui Xiang is gone, I don't care about you, who else will care about you?"

Shuixiang was the name of Feng Chenyi's mother before she entered the palace.

When Feng Chenyi heard Mr. Rui mention his mother's name, he looked at Wei Zi hesitantly, "Do you know my mother?"

Wei Zi was also a little surprised when Feng Chenyi mentioned the word "mother concubine". She looked at Feng Chenyi in disbelief and said with difficulty: "Are you Shui Xiang's child?"

"Yes, it's him," Mr. Rui replied. "I found him. Shuixiang won't die with regrets, don't worry."

After hearing that Wei Zi had a relationship with his mother, Feng Chenyi could not sit idly by.

Seeing that they were all acquaintances, the burly man said to Feng Chenyi with disdain, "Twenty thousand gold, can you afford it?"
