Feng Chenyi parted his lips gently and looked at Zhai Yun with eyes full of surprise. In more than ten years, this was the first time that Zhai Yun got angry with him and spoke to him in this tone.

Without waiting for Feng Chenyi to speak, Zhai Yun ran away. Her eyes were hazy and she couldn't see the road clearly, so she bumped into him and made him stumble.

Feng Chenyi instinctively raised his hand to wipe Zhai Yun's tears, but was knocked down by Zhai Yun. He didn't know why he was angry. He just felt that he knew nothing about Zhai Yun's life during the years she was away.

Zhai Yun did not return to Feng Chenyi's tent, but returned to Qi Nuo's tent and slept on the bed that Qi Nuo prepared for her. The bed was very soft and had a faint fragrance.

This was also the first time that Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi slept in separate rooms without being separated by distance.

Qi Nuo was preparing for tomorrow's departure. When he came back, it was already midnight. Seeing Zhai Yun in the tent, he was stunned for a moment, then tiptoed to his bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Zhai Yun turned over. Qi Nuo thought that he had woken Zhai Yun by making too much noise, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, Guard Zhai, I woke you up."

In the darkness, Zhai Yun opened her eyes wide and said, "I'm not asleep."

She couldn't sleep. The smell of this bed was different from that of Feng Chenyi's bed. She had never slept well when she was outside before, but now they were in the same place.

Without that familiar smell and feeling, Zhai Yun couldn't sleep.

Qi Nuo asked cautiously, "Did you have a quarrel with the prince?"

"Ah?" Zhai Yun was a little surprised that Qi Nuo knew that the only person she and Feng Chenyi had quarreled with had left.

"I just saw the prince, and he didn't look too good either." Qi Nuo explained, "You are the only one who can make the prince angry in recent years."

When Zhai Yun heard Qi Nuo's words, she felt upset and suddenly turned over and lay down again.

"The prince and his men are very nice to you, we can all see that. This is the first time I've seen you guys quarreling so fiercely." Zhai Yun used to rest in the prince's tent.

This time she was not drunk and took the initiative to sleep in a separate room from the prince. It can be seen that the prince was not the only one who was angry.

"The person he wants to care for the most is no longer me." When Zhai Yun said this, her voice was full of loss, and a tear slipped down again.

Qi Nuo didn't know how to comfort her, and didn't dare to go beyond the limit. He just remained silent.

Not long after, Zhai Yun heard someone outside the tent report: "Guard Qi, the prince is looking for you."

Zhai Yun heard Qi Nuo get up and walk out quietly, and he didn't come back until dawn.

Before, Zhai Yun had no idea that Qi Nuo worked so hard and couldn't even sleep at night.

When the sky was just getting light, Zhai Yun got up. She was going back to the capital today, and she wanted to pay her respects to General Shi for the last time.

Zhai Yun prepared hot tea and water for washing face and waited outside General Shi's tent. She only went in when she heard General Shi get up.

General Shi saw that it was Zhai Yun who entered and put on his clothes without hesitation. "I heard that you had a fight with Yi'er?"

Zhai Yun was tidying General Shi's clothes and spoke stiffly, "No, there was no quarrel."

Just as Zhai Yun finished speaking, a voice of greeting came from outside the door: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Chenyi opened the tent and walked in. He just heard Zhai Yun's voice. Zhai Yun pretended not to see him and carefully straightened General Shi's collar.

When Feng Chenyi saw Zhai Yun, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes. He brought mouthwash and handed it to General Shi, "Uncle Shi, are you really not going back with us?"

General Shi dressed and took Feng Chenyi's mouthwash, setting it aside. "Soldiers guarding the borders are not allowed to enter the imperial city without a summons. This old general can still hold on for a few more years. When I can no longer hold on and you have established a firm foothold in the court, I will take my leave and return."

Feng Chenyi fell silent after hearing what General Shi said. He knew that General Shi was thinking about him. Going back with him at this time was not a good idea, and resigning was even less so.

But General Shi already had an old injury, and I really couldn't bear to leave him here alone.

"Why don't I stay and take care of General Shi?" When Zhai Yun said this, she looked directly at Feng Chenyi, without a trace of joking in her eyes.

There are not many people in this world who are kind to her. She was once an orphan, and now she finally has relatives who she lives with day and night, and she doesn't want to lose them.

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun with eyes full of shock, his thin red lips opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a word.

Finally, it was General Shi who spoke up. "You're just a little girl, and you're not a child anymore. What are you doing here? Are you just waiting to be discovered and beheaded?"

Zhai Yun disguised herself as a man and stayed in the military camp. She was protected by Feng Chenyi before. Now that Feng Chenyi is gone, General Shi, with his old bones, may not be able to protect her. It is only a matter of time before her identity is exposed!

"Wouldn't it be more dangerous to go back? Many people saw me in the palace when I was a child." Zhai Yun retorted.

General Shi was choked by Zhai Yun and was speechless. He just looked at Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi and sighed continuously.

Her appearance after growing up was completely different from that when she was a child. The people in the palace could not recognize Zhai Yun. The reason why Zhai Yun said this was because she was still angry.

Seeing this, Feng Chenyi coldly ordered outside the tent: "Tell them to stop packing and go back to their tents to rest!"

"This..." When General Shi heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the tent and ordered those people to get ready quickly and be ready to set off at any time.

Later, he walked in and said to Feng Chenyi anxiously and earnestly, "You are disobeying the emperor's order. This is no joke. Even if you were a prince, Emperor Xing'an would not keep you if you were accused of rebellion."

These words entered Feng Chenyi's ears, as if they had nothing to do with him at all. Feng Chenyi said lightly: "It's nice here. It's actually okay not to go back."

General Shi was so angry when he heard Feng Chenyi's cold voice that he almost fainted. Xia Lanyan, who had rushed into the tent, supported him. Xia Lanyan looked timidly at Feng Chenyi, then at Zhai Yun, and said, "Your Highness, General Shi is still a patient."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Feng Chenyi, Xia Lanyan turned around and looked at Zhai Yun timidly: "Guard Zhai, please don't be angry with the prince. The prince didn't sleep all night last night, and his blood and qi are weak. It's not appropriate to get angry."

General Shi regained his breath, panting heavily, and said to Zhai Yun, "Please persuade Yi'er. He loves to hear your words the most."

Zhai Yun was still furious and didn't want to talk to Feng Chenyi at all. Wouldn't it be better for her to stay? She could take care of General Shi and wouldn't be an obstacle to him and Xia Lanyan. Feng Chenyi wouldn't have to always dislike her.

"Guard Zhai, disobeying the emperor's order and refusing to return to court is a capital crime. You don't want the prince to be beheaded, do you?" Xia Lanyan saw that Zhai Yun was indifferent and spoke timidly.

Xia Lanyan supported General Shi and tried to comfort him, fearing that he would get angry and get hurt.
