She knew clearly that there was a hundred-foot abyss below, but she did not let go until his clothes were torn apart.

It was the first time that he felt cherished and unwilling to let go even if he died.

They waited for a long time, until Liu Yue thought no one would come. Liu Yue couldn't bear it anymore, "Go away! Don't worry about me."

Seeing that it was about to get dark, and when it got dark, the mountains and forests would inevitably be dangerous, Zhai Yun stood up and bent down to help Liu Yue: "I will help you walk, let's get out of here first, just bear with it."

Seeing this, Liu Yue could only endure the pain and stand up. Although every step was extremely painful, Liu Yue still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Liu Yue suddenly stumbled, and the hand that was supported by Zhai Yun suddenly hit Zhai Yun's chest. Liu Yue was suddenly dazed, and the chest that his arm touched was very soft.

"What's wrong?" Zhai Yun thought Liu Yue couldn't hold on any longer.

Liu Yue quickly concealed the expression in her eyes to hide her panic, and looked at Zhai Yun carefully again with the corner of her eyes. Zhai Yun's facial features were very delicate, and she indeed lacked the aura of a masculinity.

A sinister look flashed in Liu Yue's eyes, and she tried her best to keep up with Zhai Yun's footsteps.

"Guard Zhai...Guard Zhai..." A vague voice came from a distance.

Liu Yue was a little excited, "Someone really came." She felt the joy of being rescued, and also the firm belief that Zhai Yun would not be let down.

When Zhai Yun heard Liu Yue's words, she was a little surprised. People who have practiced martial arts have better hearing. Zhai Yun thought that her martial arts skills were not bad, but she found the voice vague.

Liu Yue actually heard it.

Liu Yue's excited expression met Zhai Yun's suspicious gaze. The smile in Liu Yue's eyes gradually faded. She avoided Zhai Yun's burning gaze and became flustered.

Zhai Yun looked at his panic and fear, and slowly let go of the hand that was supporting him.

Zhai Yun didn't want to expose him. He was just a hostage. Even if he was hiding something, he couldn't cause any big waves alone.

Maybe this is just a way for him to protect himself. Being too sharp is not a good thing.

The ones who came were Qi Nuo and Da Wu. Feng Chenyi was nowhere to be seen, and Liu Yue was carried out of the valley by several people.

On the way back to the city, Zhai Yun heard Qi Nuo and Xiao Wu say that after Zhai Yun left that night, they took great effort to repel the enemy. There were guards on the city wall, but those people watched them die without helping.

On the second day, everyone in the imperial capital saw gold scattered all over the ground at the city gate and corpses everywhere. The gold had been picked up, not a single ingot was left behind.

Feng Chenyi made a great contribution by escorting the hostages and gold back to the capital across thousands of miles. However, he was robbed when he arrived at the city gate, and all the soldiers who followed him were killed.

Emperor Xing'an did not blame the soldiers at the city gate, nor did he mention Feng Chenyi's contribution. Instead, he accused Feng Chenyi of losing the hostage and became furious in the court hall.

Feng Chenyi has been punished to kneel outside the Chaozheng Palace for a day now.

Qi Nuo and Da Wu came to look for Zhai Yun on their own, and since they had no manpower, they just went to the street and found some people to help them.

Zhai Yun, Qi Nuo and Da Wu all had no official positions and could not go to the court to speak for Feng Chenyi. Zhai Yun asked Qi Nuo to take the hostage Liu Yue to the palace.

Feng Chenyi had just returned to the court, and no one would speak for him. The people who returned to the imperial capital to guard the imperial city did not open the city gates, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, Emperor An did not pursue the original responsibility, but directly punished Feng Chenyi.

As a father, he didn't even care about how Feng Chenyi survived in the Northern Wilderness all these years, and didn't even mention his contributions.

Zhai Yun was angry on behalf of Feng Chenyi. Since his father could not uphold justice for him, let the people speak for him.

He brought Dawu to the headquarters of Hongxi Escort Agency and used all the manpower in the imperial capital to spread the news about Feng Chenyi's achievements in the Northern Wilderness and how he was rejected and assassinated when he returned to Fengli Country.

Although Liu Yue was fine and Feng Chenyi would be released, Zhai Yun was very angry that Emperor Xing'an could not distinguish right from wrong and only punished without rewarding.

If Emperor Xing'an did not give the order, Feng Chenyi would not even have a legitimate residence in the imperial capital.

When he was conferred the title of prince, he had already left the imperial capital. Fortunately, Emperor An did not grant him a house. According to ancestral rules, princes who were conferred the title of prince were not allowed to live in the imperial palace.

Therefore, Zhai Yun wanted to make the matter of Feng Chenyi spread widely in the imperial capital, so that Emperor Xing'an would pay attention to Feng Chenyi and give him justice.

Feng Chenyi came back in the evening. Fortunately, Emperor An had no plans, so he could only take Zhai Yun, Xia Lanyan, Qi Nuo and Da Wu to stay in the inn.

This matter was also deliberately spread by Zhai Yun, and tomorrow these things will become the topic of conversation after dinner in the entire imperial capital.

Qi Nuo and Xia Lanyan were still fighting for Feng Chenyi. After returning to their own homes, they could only live in the inn.

After Xia Lanyan left, Da Wu told Zhai Yun the truth about what he had done. Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He didn't expect that Zhai Yun knew all this.

On the third day after leaving Feng Chenyi in the inn, Emperor Xing'an finally summoned Feng Chenyi and said he would hold a celebration banquet for him.

Zhai Yun had already prepared a set of clothes for him, which were specially made by the most expensive Su Embroidery Pavilion in the entire imperial capital. They were worth a fortune and many princes and nobles might not be able to get them even if they wanted them.

Moreover, this is the most proud work of Su Xiu Pavilion in recent years, and there is only one set.

Zhai Yun wanted to let Emperor Xing'an know that Feng Chenyi did not need his reward.

Feng Chenyi went to the palace to attend the banquet, bringing Zhai Yun with him. This was not the first time that Zhai Yun had gone to the palace to attend a banquet, and she returned to this extremely familiar place again.

Zhai Yun was filled with emotion. She had suffered humiliation here and was even killed by her own son here in her previous life. To her, this place was like an inescapable nightmare.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi walked along the palace path that they were extremely familiar with. Feng Chenyi gently held Zhai Yun's hand under his long sleeves and said, "Don't be afraid."

Feeling the warmth in her hands, Zhai Yun felt at ease.

She was no longer afraid of the conspiracies and intrigues in the deep palace. She was already very powerful. If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will definitely offend him.

The eunuchs in the palace were originally disdainful when they saw Feng Chenyi, but after being stared at by Feng Chenyi's cold eyes for a few seconds, those eunuchs who wanted to take advantage of him again were frightened so much that their legs went weak and they knelt on the ground trembling.

As soon as they entered the inner palace, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi saw a man dressed as a prince standing in front of them waiting. The man held his head high and looked at Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi with disdain in his eyes.

The eunuch leading the way hurriedly explained, "This is the fifth prince, born to the empress. He shares the same mother as the eldest prince and is deeply loved by the emperor."

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi asked themselves whether they had ever seen him or provoked him, so they really didn't know what the significance of his appearance here was, even though he and the eldest prince were born of the same mother.

But he did not have the calm and steady aura of the eldest prince. Instead, he seemed to be spoiled and looked down on everyone.
