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

Her son became Feng Chenji's only offspring, so she poisoned Feng Chenji. When Feng Chenji died, Zhai Yun smiled.

Every day and every night she stayed with him, she felt tortured and disgusted. He forced her, yet she still had to put on a forced smile to please him!

Because only in this way could she live like a human being. After Zhai Yun was forced by him, she hated him very much. Whenever he came, she would either bite or scratch her. In the end, she was imprisoned in a dark room without light and tortured by him every day.

Su Jin persuaded her and guided her to obey Feng Chenji, telling her that with power she could trample those who bullied her under her feet and even take revenge. She gradually became obedient and docile.

She even began to learn how to please him, and he treated her better and better. She also did as Nanny Su Jin taught her, slowly accumulating strength, and finally poisoned Feng Chenji to death.

The throne is within reach.

In her previous life, Zhai Yun was very grateful to Su Jin, who taught her how to survive in the palace. When Zhai Yun finally held a high position, Su Jin stood behind her and never betrayed her. However, Zhai Yun died, and Su Jin probably would not have survived either.

Zhai Yun fainted, and Feng Chenyi carried her onto the carriage and they sped back.

The memories of her previous life seemed to be just yesterday. That kind of life that went against her will, where she had to force herself to smile and fawn on someone she hated to the core, once again made her feel that life was hopeless.

She had a fever, and she saw another scene: a man in white clothes as white as snow, untainted by dust, looking at her gently and smiling at her. This time, Zhai Yun saw his face clearly.

Stunning! Like a god.

He walked towards Zhai Yun with graceful steps, stretched out his hand to her, his eyes smiling, as dazzling as starlight.

"Yun'er, Yun'er." Feng Chenyi's voice came, and Zhai Yun opened her eyes and woke up.

The appearance of the man in the dream could not be erased from Zhai Yun's mind. Such a god-like figure made Zhai Yun feel inexplicably familiar.

"Yun'er." Feng Chenyi called Zhai Yun with a worried look on his face.

Seeing that although Zhai Yun had woken up, she looked distraught and worried, he was filled with worry. This was the second time he had seen Zhai Yun like this, the first time being when he was a child.

Facing the same people.

Feng Chenyi could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and looked at Zhai Yun and asked fiercely: "What did he do to you?"

Zhai Yun was extremely frightened when Feng Chenyi mentioned that he was the prince. He didn't want to mention that name, but he knew that Zhai Yun knew who he was referring to.

Zhai Yun came back to her senses and saw Feng Chenyi, whose brows were furrowed and filled with worry. Zhai Yun couldn't help but hug him tightly, "Brother Yi, I'm scared."

She was afraid that everything before her was not real, and that she would return to a life worse than death.

Everything in this life is too beautiful. Here she has someone who is truly good to her, who cares for her, loves her, and protects her like a child. He has never let her face the darkness alone. Such beauty seems unreal.

This dream made Zhai Yun realize once again that she could not live without Feng Chenyi, and she was unwilling to share his kindness with anyone.

Feng Chenyi was stunned for a moment by Zhai Yun's hug. Feng Chenyi gently hugged Zhai Yun and comforted her like a child having a nightmare, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a dream."

He suddenly didn't want Zhai Yun to answer his previous question, because he could feel that the memory that had made her crazy and convulsed with hatred twice was her pain.

He didn't want her to touch her scar again. If that memory was so painful, he would rather he never know about it and she would never mention it again.

Inside Tingyuxuan, only Feng Chenyi's gentle and comforting voice remained. He was very gentle in holding her, for fear of hurting her.

Feng Chenyi began to investigate the case of inferior military equipment, and the first person to be investigated was He Fanglin from the Ministry of Industry. He Fanglin had no background or support, and did not participate in party struggles.

It was much easier to investigate him as there was no need to worry about anything else. With Emperor Xing'an's handwritten order, he was imprisoned and interrogated that same day.

Zhai Yun was helping Feng Chenyi collect the rest of the information about He Fanglin. While she was busy in Prince Rui's Mansion, Xia Lanyan got the news that Zhai Yun was in the mansion and came over.

When she gracefully walked into Feng Chenyi's study, Zhai Yun was rummaging through something and was stunned when she saw the expression on Xia Lanyan's face.

Xia Lanyan looked at Zhai Yun with a look of sorrow and earnestness in her eyes. "Several days have passed, and Guard Zhai hasn't helped me to intercede with the prince?"

Zhai Yun put down what she was holding, looked at Xia Lanyan's pleading eyes, and the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.

"I have offended Concubine Tian. Without the prince's protection, I might be tortured to death by Concubine Tian one day!" Xia Lanyan was extremely anxious. The wound on her hip had just healed.

Even if she had a good medicine to remove the scars, she would need a long time to recover. Not everyone can endure ten beatings with boards. Who knows what more vicious tricks Tian Fei will come up with next time.

Now that she has been favored by the prince, she has become even more arrogant in the palace.

"Miss Xia... I'm sorry." Zhai Yun struggled for a long time and could only squeeze out three words with difficulty. She didn't know how to explain to Xia Lanyan.

Feng Chenyi was irritated by her, and now she wanted to tell Xia Lanyan in person that she had failed to do what she had asked of her.

It's really a thankless task that offends both sides.

Xia Lanyan saw Zhai Yun's eyes change from earnest pleading to suspicion and uneasiness. She was shocked and burst into tears: "Could it be that Guard Zhai still can't tolerate me?"

If she couldn't get to the prince, there would probably be no place for her in Prince Rui's mansion.

She thought she was stunningly beautiful and no man could resist her. There was nothing wrong with her liking Feng Chenyi, and she didn't think she was unworthy of Feng Chenyi.

But Feng Chenyi loves Zhai Yun very much, and he doesn't like anything that Zhai Yun doesn't like.

So she could only please Zhai Yun and beg Zhai Yun. As long as Zhai Yun accepted her, the prince would also accept her.

Zhai Yun looked at Xia Lanyan's tears and waved her hands repeatedly to explain, "No, this time it's the prince who disagrees."

Xia Lanyan's eyes widened as she looked at Zhai Yun with disbelief. "Is the prince rejecting me just to be his little maid?"

The more Xia Lanyan spoke, the faster her tears fell, and her eyes were filled with sadness.

Looking at her, Zhai Yun thought that a short pain is worse than a long one, so she simply said, "Miss Xia, if the prince really liked you, then I would bless you, but now you can see that the prince does not like you, so I cannot give the prince to you."

Xia Lanyan looked at Zhai Yun with a trace of resentment in her eyes. Her voice was cold, "So, is it because of Guard Zhai that the prince refused to keep me by his side? Has the prince never considered my situation?"

Zhai Yun looked at Xia Lanyan and didn't know how to speak.
