Feng Chenyi threw down the account book, glanced at Zhai Yun, and ordered coldly: "Follow me to the military camp."

The scene just now kept appearing in Zhai Yun's mind. She felt anxious and absent-minded. It was not until Feng Chenyi walked away for a long distance that Zhai Yun realized that he had left and hurried to catch up.

It was not until he left Tingyuxuan that Zhai Yun realized that Feng Chenyi had taken the wrong path. He should have returned to the secret room and left the palace through his own Yunchen Pavilion, not her Tingyuxuan. He walked out of Tingyuxuan so brazenly, and it would have been a disaster if he was seen by those spies hiding in the dark.

But even if I reminded him, it was too late because Feng Chenyi had already walked a long way.

When returning home from the military camp, a servant came to report that Xia Lanyan had an accident.

Xia Lanyan was punished by Lu Tianer with a stick and locked up in the woodshed because Lu Tianer asked Xia Lanyan to comb her hair, but Xia Lanyan refused.

She said she only obeyed the prince.

Lu Tian'er was so angry that she exercised her authority as the mistress of the palace and beat Xia Lanyan with ten boards for being disobedient and violating her master's orders.

Thinking of the frail Xia Lanyan's appearance after being beaten with ten boards, Zhai Yun felt a little regretful for coming up with such a bad idea.

Zhai Yun jogged all the way to the woodshed. Two servants were guarding the door. When they saw Zhai Yun, they hurriedly opened the door lock. Although the door was locked by the concubine, they all knew that in the Prince Rui's Mansion, Guard Zhai was also the master.

Her orders were the same as the prince's, and she had to obey them.

The moment she opened the door, Zhai Yun was stunned when she saw Xia Lanyan, covered in blood and with her buttocks covered in blood, crawling on the hard floor.

She had never seen Xia Lanyan in such a miserable state. Her hair was scattered all over the floor and her face was as pale as a porcelain doll, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

She looked at Zhai Yun weakly. When she saw Feng Chenyi behind Zhai Yun, she panicked. She covered her face and shouted excitedly, "Don't come over."

Perhaps realizing that her voice was a bit too extreme, she softened her voice, "Don't come over, Your Majesty. I don't want you to see me in such a state of disgrace."

Zhai Yun turned around and glanced at Feng Chenyi, motioning him to go out first. After he went out, Zhai Yun turned around and looked at Xia Lanyan. Her miserable appearance made Zhai Yun's heart wrenched.

When Xia Lanyan heard Feng Chenyi walk out, she secretly moved her sleeves and took a few glances to make sure he really went out, then she put down her hands that were covering her face.

Zhai Yun felt very guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this."

Xia Lanyan looked at Zhai Yun, puzzled at first, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Did you ask Tian Fei to find me and ask me to help her comb her hair?" Xia Lanyan's eyes were full of disbelief.

The scene of Concubine Tian cutting up the clothes that she was reluctant to wear even once appeared in front of her eyes. Not satisfied with cutting them up, she asked her maid to burn the clothes to ashes. With the condescending attitude of the mistress of the palace, she punished her maid to wash clothes.

And today, Concubine Tian ordered her to comb her hair in her capacity as the mistress of the palace. Xia Lanyan was naturally unwilling to do so. Since Concubine Tian entered the palace, the prince had never even looked at her.

She was just relying on her good family background. Xia Lanyan's eyes flashed with hatred. It would be fine for Zhai Yun to curry favor with Concubine Tian herself, but why did she have to involve herself?

If it weren't for her, I might have gotten what I wanted long ago. When Xia Lanyan thought of this, the hatred in her eyes grew stronger and stronger. She was so preoccupied with thoughts that she didn't notice Zhai Yun reaching out to support her.

The resentment in her heart made her wave away the hand that wanted to touch her.

Zhai Yun was startled by Xia Lanyan's sudden action. She was startled and called out carefully, "Miss Xia."

Xia Lanyan realized her own loss of composure and hurriedly hid the expression in her eyes. She looked at Zhai Yun pitifully, "I'm sorry, Guard Zhai. I was just scared. I thought you were Concubine Tian's maid, so I pushed you away. I'm sorry."

Zhai Yun looked at her panic-stricken appearance and couldn't bear to blame her. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. I understand. As long as you don't blame me, that's fine."

The servants brought a stretcher, and Zhai Yun helped lift Xia Lanyan onto the stretcher. Seeing her frightened and weak appearance, Zhai Yun couldn't help but take off her coat and cover her with it.

Xia Lanyan was badly injured. When she was carried out and saw Feng Chenyi, she tried to force herself to stand up and salute him. Feng Chenyi stepped forward and held her down, his eyes cold, "You should get some rest."

Xia Lanyan looked at Feng Chenyi's hands pressing on her shoulders. A hint of color returned to her face, and her eyes were full of joy. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will rest well."

When Zhai Yun returned to Tingyuxuan, she asked Qi Nuo to arrange two more maids for her, and found a few bottles of useful medicine and asked Qi Nuo to send them over in the name of Feng Chenyi.

Zhai Yun hoped that by doing this, Xia Lanyan would feel better.

Everything that Zhai Yun and Qi Nuo said outside the house reached Feng Chenyi's ears. As soon as Zhai Yun walked into the house, Feng Chenyi couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you send it in your own name?"

Zhai Yun glanced at Feng Chenyi, her sense of indebtedness towards Xia Lanyan not diminishing in the slightest. "Because she likes you, and you caring about her will make her feel very happy."

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun's regretful expression and thought that this was just Zhai Yun's compensation for her debt to Xia Lanyan, but even so, it could not alleviate Zhai Yun's guilt towards her.

Feng Chenyi consoled her, "You can't blame her entirely. She's the one who doesn't know how to adapt."

When Zhai Yun heard what Feng Chenyi said, she felt even more sad. Xia Lanyan was beaten like that, but Feng Chenyi was not moved at all and even spoke up for Zhai Yun.

Hearing Xia Lanyan's words that she liked him, he looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him. He also didn't care whether Xia Lanyan was hurt or in pain. From beginning to end, he only cared about Zhai Yun.

Zhai Yun suddenly felt a little guilty, feeling that she was taking away happiness that should belong to someone else.

Ever since Concubine Tian entered Prince Rui's mansion, Xia Lanyan had suffered a lot of grievances. First, her favorite clothes were ruined. Then she was punished to do hard labor, and now she was beaten.

The Rui Palace is currently in a turbulent time. There are so many eyes watching in the palace. They can't do anything to Concubine Tian, ​​but if they allow Concubine Tian to continue like this, the entire Rui Palace will be in chaos.

The maids and servants in the mansion were also very afraid of this sweet concubine. If they did something that did not suit her wishes, she would either beat them or scold them.

Zhai Yun secretly made up her mind and said to Feng Chenyi, "My Lord, please go back to the house with Concubine Tian!"

The person who tied the bell must untie it. The time for Concubine Tian to return home is coming, and she will definitely see Marquis Lu when she returns. As long as Feng Chenyi pretends to be controlled by Marquis Lu, Marquis Lu will not continue to be hidden in Prince Rui's Mansion by the forces of the other parties.

After all, my baby girl is still my baby girl.
