Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Chapter 257 The Forced Undercover Agent: A Shield for the Beloved Concubine (10)

"The Regent has arrived!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's deliberately raised tone, everyone in the courtyard prostrated themselves on the ground.

Chen Wang was forced to kneel on the ground by the men in black, his eyes bloodshot, looking furious as he glared fiercely at Feng Jinnian.

Feng Jinnian looked weak and collapsed to the ground in his thin nightgown.

Qi Qingjia narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Prince Chen, what are you doing? Are you trying to commit murder?"

Chen Wang seemed to come to his senses when he heard Qi Qingjia's voice. He said in a trembling voice, "Cousin, I can't stand it. My son is so pitiful. As his father, I just want to get justice for him."

"Foolish! If you want justice, His Majesty will naturally give it to you, but what are you doing now!" Although Qi Qingjia knew that Prince Chen was stupid, he did not expect that Prince Chen would be this stupid. He almost killed Feng Jinnian today, and what was originally a reasonable matter has become unreasonable. It will only make things more and more troublesome.

Qi Qingjia clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Prince Chen lost his mind in grief and anger. Let's send Prince Chen back to his residence first."

After Prince Chen left, he turned to comfort Feng Jinnian: "Jinnian, Prince Chen acted foolishly, but fortunately, nothing serious happened. Don't worry about it, and get some rest."

As he spoke, he helped Feng Jinnian to her feet and found that Feng Jinnian was limp and pale, as if she had lost her soul in fright.

Qi Qingjia's heart sank slightly. He summoned a servant to take Feng Jinnian back to his room. His gentle expression vanished, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he turned and left.

The news that Prince Chen had entered Feng Jinnian's residence with a knife and nearly killed him spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

For a moment, everyone was on tenterhooks, and many high-ranking officials and nobles quietly stopped their banquets to avoid chaos caused by too many people.

Since Qi Qingjia left, Feng Jinnian has remained in a state of shock, with a blank expression and unfocused eyes, as if he had been frightened into a stupor. No amount of acupuncture or medicine administered by the imperial physicians has helped him.

He finally regained a sliver of consciousness, had dinner and rested, but then started making a ruckus again during the night, disturbing everyone in the courtyard.

Chu Yun lived in the east wing of Feng Jinnian's courtyard. Hearing the noise, she quickly dressed and came out. She saw that the whole courtyard was brightly lit, and shrill screams came from Feng Jinnian's room from time to time.

The shouts grew louder and louder, making the already gloomy night even more terrifying.

The servants' footsteps were disordered, and they kept calling out "Young Master, Young Master".

Although Chu Yun did not enter the room, it was not hard to guess that it must be a mess and chaotic place.

She arrived at the door and vaguely saw a group of people chasing after Feng Jinnian. As Feng Jinnian ran, he grabbed whatever he could and hurled it at the people behind him.

boom--

After a loud crash, Feng Jinnian picked up the shards of the vase he had just smashed, flailing his arms wildly and growling, "Get out of here! Get out—"

He seemed possessed; he was acting very strangely, his face was deathly pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. He resembled an overly frightened animal, desperately attacking those around him to protect himself.

Feng Yi was really afraid that he would hurt himself, so he tried to lower his voice and persuade him, "Young Master, we won't go over there. Please put down what you're holding first, okay?"

Feng Jinnian frowned, pointing the shard at Feng Yi. He seemed not to understand Feng Yi's words, stubbornly believing that everyone would harm him and be detrimental to him, so he would not allow anyone to get close to him.

The maids and guards, afraid of upsetting him, hesitated to step forward. Feng Yi shouted at the people around him, "Don't go forward, step back."

Realizing that the people surrounding him had left, Feng Jinnian's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his constantly waving arms fell to his sides.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then a sharp voice came from outside, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

Chu Yun glanced to the side and saw that Madam Yuan, with her hair disheveled, was rushing over in a hurry. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was in a state of panic, as if she had come to attend Feng Jinnian's funeral. Chu Yun noticed that her steps were unsteady, and she would stumble every few steps. If it weren't for the maid behind her supporting her, she probably wouldn't have been able to keep going.

Her voice startled Feng Jinnian inside the room, causing him to become agitated again after he had calmed down. He brandished the shards in his hand with large movements, nearly injuring himself several times.

That wasn't all. Ah Yuan's voice rang out again from outside, and Feng Jinnian went into a frenzy. He raised the shard in his hand and stabbed it hard into his own shoulder.

Feng rushed forward to stop him, grabbing the shards with one hand, blood gushing out.

Feng Jinnian growled in pain and shoved Feng Yi away. Feng Yi staggered backward and barely managed to steady himself by holding onto the wall behind him.

In the gap as he retreated, Feng Jinnian covered his head, squatted on the ground, and curled himself into a ball.

Feng Jinnian looked so frightening that none of the maids and guards dared to approach. Feng Yi was about to walk towards Feng Jinnian when he noticed that someone had gotten ahead of him and knelt down beside him.

Feng Yi quickly recognized the person as Chu Yun. His body leaned forward uncontrollably, and he wanted to pull Chu Yun back, but reason controlled him and he did not go forward.

Chu Yun said softly, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, no one will hurt you."

Feng Jinnian shrugged, raised his head, revealing eyes that were clearly terrified. He had just seen blood, and his mind had cleared up a bit, but he was too scared to do anything but huddle together to protect himself. Hearing Chu Yun's voice, his manic emotions were slowly calmed down, and his aggression gradually disappeared.

Chu Yun's eyes lit up with joy. "Your Highness, please get up."

She slowly extended her hand to Feng Jinnian, who stared intently at Chu Yun, seemingly observing whether she was trustworthy.

Chu Yun smiled and tried her best to show goodwill.

Just as Feng Jinnian was trying to reach out, another voice sounded outside. Madam Yuan had arrived at the door, leaning against it, looking at Feng Jinnian with a sorrowful expression.

Feng Jinnian was startled by her appearance. He suddenly pulled back his outstretched hand and began to roar madly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Chu Yun reacted quickly and grabbed Feng Jinnian, trying to stop him from moving. But Feng Jinnian was too strong and broke free quickly. He lay on the ground, his fingers touching the broken pieces of the vase at his feet.

Chu Yun rushed forward and successfully stopped him from getting the fragment, but her hand was cut by the fragment.

Just like before, when Feng Jinnian saw the blood on Chu Yun's hands, he suddenly became very scared. He stopped all his overreactions and just covered his head and lay on the ground.

From the moment Feng Jinnian went berserk again to the moment Chu Yun was injured, only a few breaths passed. By the time everyone came to their senses, Feng Jinnian had already calmed down.

Madam Yuan has also entered the room.

Seeing that Feng Jinnian was in a stable mood, Feng Yi felt a little relieved. With a dark face, he walked up to Madam Yuan, struck her on the back of the neck with a palm, knocked her unconscious, and dragged her out of the house.

If she weren't still useful, Feng Yi would have loved to kill her with a sword right now.
