After saying that, she found an open space and lay down.
Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard a strange noise coming from the roof, and then ice water poured all over her body.
She immediately jumped up and cursed: "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
The old woman's mocking voice came from the rooftop: "If Concubine Yun slacks off anytime, there will be countless buckets of ice water waiting to be poured on you!"
Yun Fei shivered from the cold, and her teeth began to chatter violently.
She said angrily, "I am a noble princess married to a foreign country. How dare you humiliate me like this? Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate harshly in the future and make you wish you were dead?"
The old nanny said, "Of course we servants are afraid, but we are even more afraid of the emperor's blame. If you want to leave the laundry room, you must wait until the emperor calms down!"
Yun Fei hugged her shoulders tightly, but still couldn't resist the cold brought by the ice water.
She turned her head to look at the smelly and dirty clothes, and a fierce struggle flashed in her eyes.
She spoke without hesitation: "I'm freezing right now, please bring me some clean, soft warm clothes!"
The old nanny interrupted directly: "Empress Yunfei can use local materials!"
Concubine Yun's face turned ashen with hatred, but she could do nothing.
Unable to withstand the torture of the cold, she reached out and grabbed a green dress and wrapped it around herself.
She didn't dare to hesitate any longer and reached out to put all the clothes into the wooden barrel.
As she washed, tears streamed down her face. She had never suffered such injustice before.
From childhood to adulthood, although she was not pampered by her father and mother, she still had everything she wanted, including food and clothes.
But now, she had to wash clothes for the person she looked down upon the most.
What a cruel punishment this is!
Just when I was filled with anger, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my finger.
She quickly pulled it back and found that her nail was broken in half.
Bright red blood slowly flowed out from the gap, and the pain made her break out in cold sweats on her back.
She cursed hoarsely, "Lin Yiwan, it's all your fault, bitch. If it weren't for you, how could I have endured such punishment? Just wait and see. When I step out of this laundry room, I will tear your bones and skin you alive!"
She clenched her fists tightly, but after a moment, tears of pain streamed down her face.
Zhan Yan, who was on his way at this time, happened to come to the foot of a mountain to take shelter from the rain. He had been running non-stop in the past few days, which really tired the soldiers out.
He ordered his men to set up tents and rest for a night before setting off again.
Yinghun was ordered to make ginger soup to dispel the cold, when he heard someone outside shouting: "Help, help!"
He frowned and turned to look at the shadow guarding beside him with a long sword in his arms: "Look, the ghost is still lingering and has caught up with us!"
Ying Yi snorted coldly: "It seems that the amount of medicine I gave her before was too little. She can still make her way!"
The two of them talked, but did not move at all.
No matter how loudly the people outside shouted for help, they remained indifferent.
Xiu'er was furious. She was standing in the cold wind and rain, her whole body soaked.
She angrily said, "Are you all deaf and blind? Why did you turn a blind eye to my call for help? My young lady has a high fever, how could you just stand by and watch her die?"
Her voice was so loud that the soldiers who were resting came out of their tents to watch the fun.
Xiu'er knelt on the ground and cried, "Please, everyone, please be kind and ask Marquis Zhan Yi to help our young lady. She is really dying of illness!"
It was raining heavily and she was kneeling in the mud in a miserable state, which naturally aroused the sympathy of many soldiers.
One of the lieutenants stepped forward quickly, helped her up, and covered her with his straw raincoat.
She sobbed sadly, "Brother Jun, you are a good man. Please help me ask the Marquis to allow us to hide in the tent and warm ourselves by the fire, and then find a military doctor to treat her!"
The man nodded heavily: "Okay, wait, I will go and ask the Marquis for help. The Marquis is a man of justice, he will not stand by and watch someone die!"
After saying that, he walked quickly towards Zhan Yihou's tent.
Yinghun quickly rushed over and stood in front of him: "Deputy General Han, what are you going to do?"
Deputy General Han quickly explained, "Guard Shadow, that little girl looks so pitiful. I feel the same way as you. If our families were traveling and encountered rainy days, we would also hope that someone could help them!"
Shadow Soul raised an eyebrow: "If it was an ordinary woman or child asking for help, the Marquis would naturally help without hesitation, but she and her young lady have ulterior motives!"
Deputy General Han's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean? They are just weak women. How could they be plotting something illegal?"
Yinghun suddenly laughed: "Her young lady offered herself to our Marquis in the City Lord's Mansion. Do you think you can get involved with such a woman?"
After hearing this, Deputy General Han's expression suddenly became complicated and ugly.
He turned around and looked at Xiu'er who was still standing in the heavy rain and said, "But they are so pitiful after all!"
Yinghun nodded and said, "They are very pitiful. Then please ask Lieutenant General Han to take them in. Invite them to your tent and see if they agree."
Deputy General Han bowed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Seeing him come back happily, Xiu'er's eyes immediately lit up with hope.
It seems that this strategy was successful and actually forced Marquis Zhan Yi to compromise.
Miss's chance has finally come!
She quickly stepped forward and asked happily, "Brother Jun, how is it? Did Marquis Zhan Yi agree to take us in?"
Deputy General Han scratched his head: "I didn't see the Marquis. He might be resting. The Shadow Soul Guard gave me some instructions!"
Xiu'er suddenly felt cold all over, and she subconsciously asked, "What did he tell you?"
Deputy General Han smiled and said, "He agreed to let me take you into my tent. There's a bonfire and hot soup inside. It's very warm!"
Xiu'er almost rolled her eyes at him, thinking, who do you think you are? You want my young lady to enter your tent?
But she didn't dare show it on her face.
She just wiped the tears from her cheeks with grievance and said: "Thank you, Brother Jun, for your help, but my lady is an old acquaintance of Zhan Yihou, and she hopes to meet him!"
When he heard her say this, the smile on Lieutenant General Han's face faded.
He suddenly remembered what Yinghun had said about his young lady offering herself to him, and he couldn't help but speak, "Marquis Zhan Yi is a married man. Your young lady insisted on living in his tent. What's her intention?"
Xiu'er's face changed drastically, and she quickly covered it up: "No, my lady just admires Zhan Yihou, the God of War of our dynasty. When she is with him, she doesn't have to be afraid!"
Deputy General Han sneered, "No matter how high-sounding your reasons are, they can't hide the dirty plans in your heart. Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to seduce Marquis Zhan Yi again?"
