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

"Hiss~" The rustling sound came intermittently along with the hissing sound.

Feng Chenyi's grip on Zhai Yun's slender shoulders suddenly tightened a bit, and the little girl frowned slightly.

"You heard it too?" Zhai Yun, who was about to lie down, stood up straight and looked at Feng Chenyi nervously.

If the sound was a little vague just now, it was very clear now. The hissing sound came one after another, and the rustling sound had already reached outside the door.

Fortunately, the doors and windows were fastened tightly, so no matter what it was, it couldn't get in for a while.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi quickly sat up from the bed and moved tables and chairs to block the door in tacit understanding.

Zhai Yun lit the oil lamp and pointed it towards the door, hoping to see what was outside with the faint light.

With the sound of "Shua", Feng Chenyi took out the sword from somewhere, drew it out of the scabbard, and pointed the sword at the door. Although he was very calm, it was not difficult to see that he was afraid.

The two stared at the door.

The hissing sounds became more and more frequent, and you could tell there were a lot of them.

It seemed as if all those things were scrambling to climb up the door, causing it to bang loudly.

There was also the sound of things falling one after another, as if they were being squeezed down.

When a pointed head popped out of the paper-covered door and window, Zhai Yun saw clearly that it was a snake.

There was a long, bloody tongue spitting out of the snake's mouth, as if it was also observing the door.

"It's snakes." Feng Chenyi also saw clearly, and he pulled Zhai Yun behind him. "They might break in through the window."

Before Feng Chenyi could finish his words, the snake that first climbed onto the window paper broke through the paper with its head and flew towards Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi.

Feng Chenyi had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He swung his sword with both hands and accurately cut off the first snake that flew in.

"It's a poisonous snake." Feng Chenyi, who had killed a snake, did not slack off at all and stared at the doors and windows.

Then one, two, three... broke in through the window.

Feng Chenyi pulled Zhai Yun back repeatedly. The snakes fell to the ground and crawled towards Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi in winding ways.

Judging from the sounds, there were at least dozens of snakes outside the door, if not hundreds. With their current small bodies, they definitely couldn't fight them head-on.

It is impossible for so many poisonous snakes to appear in the cold palace for no reason.

"In the past, at most I would get a beating. But now the situation is life-threatening!" She summoned ants to scare Feng Chenmu two days ago. Now there are so many poisonous snakes, probably because of Feng Chenmu.

Feng Chenyi swung his sword vigorously, taking the life of a poisonous snake with one sword. The snake's body was broken into two pieces but it was still twisting.

Seeing the endless stream of snakes crawling into the house, Zhai Yun opened the window behind her and pulled Feng Chenyi out of the house.

As soon as she climbed out of the window, a snake flew down from the eaves towards Zhai Yun.

I thought there were only snakes in the house, but I didn't expect that the snakes had already circled around to the back of the house.

Unexpectedly, just as the snake was about to bite Zhai Yun's neck, a hand suddenly appeared in front of Zhai Yun's neck to protect it.

Zhai Yun watched helplessly as the snake bit Feng Chenyi's arm fiercely and was terrified.

Without thinking, Zhai Yun grabbed the snake's neck with her bare hands and threw it out.

Seeing that several snakes on the eaves were eager to try, two of them had already flown towards them.

Zhai Yun pulled Feng Chenyi and ran away. After they ran a long way, they threw the fire starter in their hand towards the eaves.

This cold palace had not been cleaned all year round, and the eaves were covered with dead grass, so the fire started as soon as it touched the ground.

The raging flames instantly set the dilapidated house on fire.

Feng Chenyi fell to the ground with his sword in hand, and said suddenly with purple lips: "When did you become so bold that you even dared to burn the cold palace."

Zhai Yun looked at Feng Chenyi, who was sweating profusely, and knew that he was poisoned.

"Such a big fire will be discovered soon. Come with me." Zhai Yun supported Feng Chenyi and stumbled out of the cold palace.

He wanted to take Feng Chenyi to the Chaozheng Palace.

A place where civil and military officials meet and discuss matters.

Calculating the time, the court meeting was about to begin and all the civil and military officials were still outside the palace.

Seeing Feng Chenyi continuously spitting out black blood, Zhai Yun's heart was in a knot. "Brother Yi, hold on a little longer."

Although Feng Chenyi was poisoned and his consciousness was blurred, he kept following Zhai Yun.

He didn't know where Zhai Yun was going to take him, but he believed her.

I don’t know how long I walked and turned a few corners, but the view in front of me suddenly became wider.

Seeing the solemn council hall right before their eyes, Zhai Yun supported Feng Chenyi as she walked away, shouting, "Someone come! Someone is trying to murder the Second Prince. He's been poisoned."

In the past, Zhai Yun only knew how to stay in the cold palace and knew nothing before becoming a concubine, but now Zhai Yun knows everything very well.

Feng Chenyi's mother was a foreigner. Although she had no power in the court, she was kind, intelligent, and made a fortune by doing business before entering the palace.

Many important officials in the court had received her favor.

Moreover, her mother also has a sworn brother, General Shi Xing, who guards the Northern Wilderness.

He happened to be back in the capital to visit his relatives these two days.

Even if these people don't care about the old relationship, Feng Chenyi is of royal blood, and his mother died in unclear circumstances. Even if they care about their face, they will not let Feng Chenyi die like this.

Sure enough, when Zhai Yun shouted like this, the civil and military officials waiting to attend the court all came over here.

Zhai Yun was afraid that Feng Chenyi would collapse if they were to wait any longer, so before they could speak, she repeated, "Someone is trying to murder the Second Prince. He has been poisoned by a snake. I beg you all to save him."

Seeing this, the ministers who had gathered around shouted, "Call the imperial physician! The second prince has been poisoned! Hurry!"

Seeing that someone had already gone to call the imperial physician, Zhai Yun said to Feng Chenyi nervously, "The imperial physician is coming soon, just hold on a little longer."

Zhai Yun answered the ministers' questions one by one, such as how Feng Chenyi was injured.

How could there be a poisonous snake in the cold palace?

How could she be sure that someone wanted to murder Feng Chenyi?

"I dare not speak rashly about who murdered the Second Prince, but the sudden appearance of so many poisonous snakes in the cold palace cannot be a coincidence. I ask my lords to observe carefully."

Seeing Feng Chenyi's lips turning from purple to black and him fainting, and no matter how she called out, he wouldn't wake up, Zhai Yun began to get scared.

"Come here, carry the second prince to Yueming Palace, which is the closest to the Imperial Physician's Pavilion. I, the general, will bear all the responsibilities. I will explain it to the emperor at the morning court later." A figure pushed through the crowd and said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Zhai Yun looked up at the man, whose face was weather-beaten and whose lips were slightly chapped. He was dressed in armor, and one could guess that he was Shi Xing, the sworn brother of Feng Chenyi's mother.

The guards nearby stepped forward and carried Feng Chenyi on their backs.

Before leaving, Zhai Yun thanked Shi Xing.

He thought to himself that it was worth it for Feng Chenyi's mother to have met him.

Yueming Palace was the residence of Feng Chenyi's mother. Ever since the death of Feng Chenyi's mother, Concubine Ming, the emperor has not allowed anyone to enter or leave, including Feng Chenyi.

That's why Feng Chenyi was sent to the cold palace.
