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

After placing the vase, Feng Jinnian stepped back a few paces, knelt on the prayer mat, and kowtowed to the Princess Consort of Zhennan.

Chu Yun stepped forward to adjust the vase. When she withdrew her hand, she noticed a trace of blood on her fingertip. She stared at her hand suspiciously, then suddenly remembered something and reached out to turn the vase.

Feng Jinnian looked up at that moment, but it was too late to stop her. He could only watch helplessly as Chu Yun discovered the bloodstains on the vase.

He saw Chu Yun, who had her back to him, bending over to examine the vase, then suddenly turned around and their eyes met.

She held up her blood-stained hand. "Are you injured?"

Only she and Feng Jinnian had touched the vase. Chu Yun was certain that she was not injured, and she had carefully cleaned the vase before coming to the ancestral hall, so the blood could not be hers, but only Feng Jinnian's.

Feng Jinnian knew he couldn't hide it from her, but he was unwilling to reveal the truth. "I accidentally cut my hand."

He specifically emphasized, "It was a very minor injury."

Chu Yun frowned slightly, "I will take you back to get bandaged."

Seeing her like this, Feng Jinnian knew that hiding the fact that he was vomiting blood was the right thing to do. He could tell from how she supervised him to take his medicine every day that she cared a lot about his health. If he really let her know the truth, Feng Jinnian was afraid that she would be sad.

Without bothering to save face for her, I said, "Fine, I've done everything I wanted to do, it's time to go back."

Chu Yun's expression softened slightly as she slowly walked to Feng Jinnian's side.

Feng Jinnian stood up, his left hand still clenched into a fist in front of him. "Let's go."

Chu Yun followed behind him, keeping pace with his steps, and left the ancestral hall with him.

The two walked in silence along the covered corridor. After walking about halfway, they heard a series of disordered footsteps coming from the front of the corridor.

Feng Jinnian stopped in his tracks.

Chu Yun also stopped. She looked up and saw a large group of people. Feng Yi led a group of people and walked quickly toward her and Feng Jinnian.

"Your Highness." Feng Yi knelt on the ground, his forehead covered in sweat, his face showing an unusual anxiety.

"What is it?" Feng Jinnian asked in a cold voice.

Cover page 1: "The Regent's personal guards have surrounded the Crown Prince's residence. The head guard is currently waiting for the Crown Prince in the main hall, claiming that the Regent has a message for him to convey."

Feng Jinnian didn't speak, but instead turned around and looked at Chu Yun, "Go back to your room first, don't come out."

Feng Jinnian had anticipated Qi Qingjia's actions and was confident in handling them. However, when the moment came, he realized that there were still things he hadn't thought through, such as Chu Yun's safety.

She was not in his consideration before, but now, Feng Jinnian knows that he can no longer ignore Chu Yun.

Chu Yun did not disappoint his protection, her eyes filled with panic.

He heard her voice, which she tried to control but couldn't suppress, say with fear, "Your Highness, let me stay with you."

Feng Jinnian felt a warmth in his heart, but then refused without hesitation, "No, you should go back quickly."

Chu Yun had always been obedient to him, but this time she was very stubborn, saying, "I want to stay with you."

Feng Jinnian added, "The medicinal bath can't be delayed. Go and prepare it for me. I don't trust anyone else."

Chu Yun realized that Feng Jinnian would never let her come along, so she could only lower her eyes and say, "Yes."

Feng Jinnian clearly saw the fleeting glint of tears in Chu Yun's eyes as she lowered her head, not to mention her almost broken voice.

She was really worried about him. Feng Jinnian accurately read Chu Yun's thoughts, and his heart couldn't help but soften. However, there were too many people around, so he couldn't continue talking to her.

Feng Jinnian turned around and left without looking back. If Chu Yun really treated him differently, he couldn't let outsiders notice her, especially in this turbulent situation.

After watching Feng Jinnian leave, Chu Yun went alone to the room specially prepared for Feng Jinnian to take a medicinal bath.

After sprinkling the medicinal herbs, adjusting the water temperature, and doing all that, she sat on the low couch by the door, lost in thought.

The room faces south, with a bathtub on the west side and a soft couch on the east side. The bathtub and the couch are separated only by a screen with a crane and a pine tree. The north window is half open, and Chu Yun's gaze is fixed on the outside, lost in thought.

This was the scene Feng Jinnian saw when he entered the room. The slender woman had her back to him. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he could sense that Chu Yun was thinking about something, which was why she didn't get up to greet him immediately, and was completely unaware of his arrival.

He slowed his pace and walked forward slowly until he stood beside her, at which point she realized what was happening.

“Your Highness.” Feng Jinnian saw the panic flash in Chu Yun’s eyes and immediately stood up.

"What are you thinking about so intently?" Feng Jinnian asked with a smile. He looked relaxed, and it was hard to imagine that he had just been severely reprimanded by Qi Qingjia's head guard.

"I was wondering if you would return safely." Seeing his ease, Chu Yun continued tentatively, "Has the matter been resolved?"

Feng Jinnian nodded, "It's nothing serious. Although the Regent sent troops to surround the Prince's residence, he didn't make things difficult for me. I think he'll withdraw his troops in a few days."

He saw Chu Yun breathe a sigh of relief, and even her previously tense body relaxed a lot, so he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

In fact, things were not as simple as he made them out to be. Qi Qingjia's head guard gave him a verbal warning and even injured one of the guards from the Prince's residence. Just now, the atmosphere in the main hall was very tense, and the two sides could have even started fighting if they were not careful.

Feng Jinnian was quite pleased. It seemed that Qi Qingjia was determined to get involved in the conflict between Chu and Qin, so he first tried to control him and give him a warning, so that he could be subdued as a puppet in the future.

Given this, it seems the Prince of Zhennan is doomed to die, so how could Feng Jinnian not be happy?

However, none of this could be told to Chu Yun. Saying too much would only increase her worries. Since that was the case, it was better to keep everything from her from the beginning.

"Then I can rest assured," Chu Yun said with a smile. Suddenly remembering something, she added, "By the way, about your injury."

Feng Jinnian had anticipated that Chu Yun might still remember this incident, and he had his own plan. He raised his left hand, revealing a small wound on his index finger.

"I told you it was just a minor injury. Look, it'll be healed almost completely," he joked.

Chu Yun couldn't help but laugh, "Please don't think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Even the smallest wound needs to be treated properly, otherwise it will leave a scar."

"Okay, wait until I've finished the medicinal bath before you treat my wound, otherwise the medicine powder will have been wasted," Feng Jinnian said.

"Yes, everything is ready. I will wait outside the room so you can give me your orders."

Feng Jinnian looked somewhat awkward. "No need. You can go back to your own room first."

Seeing Chu Yun's slight surprise, Feng Jinnian explained, "Go back and prepare the medicine for your injuries first."

That being said, Chu Yun clearly saw that Feng Jinnian's ear cartilage blushed, as if he was shy.
