Chapter 220 Within 3 days, Feng Chenji's head was seen.
There is a roof to shelter from the rain, and food to eat.
The Northern Wilderness is a place where not a blade of grass grows.
Zhai Yun pursed her lips and slowly said, "In my previous life, I did choose to stay in the palace."
Feng Chenyi paused slightly as he handed the wine to Zhai Yun, so he had guessed correctly. At that time, Zhai Yun would not have gone with him. Fortunately, Zhai Yun changed later.
God knows how happy he was when Zhai Yun agreed to leave with him, even though he had prepared himself for rejection.
Zhai Yun accepted the wine offered by Feng Chenyi. "After you left, I was assigned to another palace as a maid. Although it was hard work and I was bullied and mistreated, it was really nice to have enough to eat and a bed to sleep in."
Before leaving, Feng Chenyi had made plans. If Zhai Yun insisted on not going with him, he would make arrangements for her. However, what happened afterward was beyond his knowledge.
"As I gradually grew into a young woman, the concubines became less and less willing to use me." Zhai Yun said, wanting to continue, but not knowing how to say it.
If her brother Yi knew about her past life, would he look down on her? Would he be disappointed in her? She thought she could face the past, but it seems she can't.
Hearing the abruptly stopped voice, Feng Chenyi guessed, "They're afraid you'll steal their favor." After all, Zhai Yun's current appearance, dressed as a woman, is strikingly beautiful; anyone who sees her will remember her.
Zhai Yun tried hard to suppress her voice, "Yes, later I was taken by the Crown Prince, but I was only twenty-five years old and could have left the palace, but he made me serve him for the rest of my life, so I hate him!"
Zhai Yun felt that she hadn't lied; she had indeed served him her whole life, and when he died, she died too.
Upon hearing this, Feng Chenyi seemed to envision Zhai Yun's loneliness and impending death in the palace. He felt a pang of heartache for her, realizing that many women who entered the palace seemed destined for the same fate.
Although Zhai Yun only used a few words to describe her past life, how could such a long life be limited to just these few words? The pain and torment of those difficult years were real, every moment and every day.
Especially since she could have left the palace, but was forced to stay, no wonder she hated him so much.
"Yun'er, don't worry, you will always be free in this life," Feng Chenyi assured her.
"Mm," Zhai Yun replied.
After soaking in the hot spring, Zhai Yun slept very well. When Feng Chenyi climbed into bed, Zhai Yun was already fast asleep. Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun, though he really wanted to believe everything she said.
However, Zhai Yun's hatred for Feng Chenji was so intense that she wished she could devour his flesh and drink his blood, so the grudges between them went far beyond that.
When Feng Chenyi thought about how Feng Chenji in his previous life might have forced Zhai Yun to do things that caused her unbearable pain for a long time, his eyes turned into those of a mad beast, filled with murderous intent.
The most unbearable harm to a woman is undoubtedly the loss of her chastity.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere inside Tingyuxuan froze, and the hidden guards who were crouching in the shadows all retreated. Even Xiao Nian was so frightened that she flew out of the window.
Such an aura is as if the air itself could transform into a sharp sword, killing without a trace.
Feng Chenyi was utterly cold, his sharp aura like a sword. "Qinuo! I want to see Feng Chenji's head within three days."
From outside the window came Qi Nuo's voice, which dared not hesitate at all: "Your subordinate obeys."
For a moment in her sleep, Zhai Yun felt as if she were sleeping on the edge of a knife, which was very uncomfortable.
The next day, feeling the person beside her get up, Zhai Yun, who had slept well all night, also got up. Feng Chenyi looked unwell, as if he hadn't slept well. Zhai Yun helped Feng Chenyi tidy up his court robes.
Dressed in court attire, he resembled a dragon among men, his stunningly beautiful face leaving everyone in awe.
"Brother Yi, I'd like to go to Yunyi Manor first, and then meet up with you at noon." Master Rui has made progress in the matter of Brother Yi's mother, and they might have set off last night.
She had to go to Yunyi Manor to see what the situation was like there. Although she trusted Wei Zi's abilities, she still planned to go in person because she would need to coordinate with the person in charge for the next one to two months.
Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun gently and said, "Okay."
Zhai Yun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with Feng Chenyi looking at her so gently; she felt that something was off about him today.
Zhai Yun left the dormitory, wanting to ask Qi Nuo to prepare a carriage for her as well, but no one answered after she called out several times.
Feng Chenyi, who was behind him, originally intended to leave the secret room, but turned back when he heard Zhai Yun call out to Qi Nuo. "Qi Nuo went out to run errands," Feng Chenyi said, and then called out to the outside: "Province One, Province Two, Province Three."
No sooner had he finished speaking than three bodyguards suddenly appeared before him, kneeling down before Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun. "Greetings, Your Highness, Young Master. What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Provincial leaders one and three, escort Yun'er to Yunyi Manor. Provincial leader two, keep an eye on things at the manor," Feng Chenyi coldly ordered.
Upon hearing this, one of the provincial officials immediately prepared a carriage, while the second official rushed to Qinuo's room to retrieve the details of the rectification work at Prince Rui's residence that day.
After breakfast, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi went out together. Feng Chenyi went to court, while Zhai Yun took advantage of the fewer people and headed to Yunyi Manor. They took many detours along the way to make sure no one was following them before entering Yunyi Manor.
Zhai Yun did not expect that the person Wei Zi had temporarily summoned to handle the affairs of Yunyi Manor was Da Yi. Zhai Yun had left him at the headquarters of Xihong Escort Agency in Fengling City, and now that the headquarters had been moved to the capital, he naturally came as well.
He was very excited to see Zhai Yun. He hadn't seen her for many years, and even when he came to the capital, he was greeted by Wei Zi.
Seeing that it was a freshman handling the affairs, Zhai Yun felt much more at ease. She had assigned several people to him back then, and he must be capable of handling things on his own now.
Despite having worked at the Xihong Escort Agency for so many years, Da Yili hasn't gained any weight; in fact, he's become even more robust.
Seeing Zhai Yun staring at his figure, Da Yi felt a little embarrassed: "Over the years, the brothers of our Xihong Escort Agency have been strict with themselves, practicing martial arts every day."
Zhai Yun clicked her tongue twice, thinking to herself, "No wonder, his muscular chest is almost impossible to cover even in a black bodysuit."
Da Yi and Zhai Yun hadn't seen each other for a long time and talked about many things, such as how Zhai Yun had traveled around in those years, and how Da Er, Da San, and Da Si had been transferred away from him, leaving Da Er to be stationed in Xi Xuan Kingdom to be in charge of all matters there, and Da San to manage Songbai City.
Even in his final year of university, he stayed in Xuanyuan Kingdom to manage the Yunyi Manor's businesses and gather information.
Zhai Yun also remembered that Da Liu, who was initially left in Tianjing Kingdom, was only in charge of the casino, but now the entire Tianjing Kingdom was handed over to him.
The six bodyguards that Master Rui gave her all came in handy.
Before leaving, Da Yi reported to Zhai Yun on several unusual matters concerning Yunyi Manor. The Fifth Prince, representing the Empress, intended to win over Yunyi Manor to work for her, and the Crown Prince had also recently sent someone to contact him.
