Chapter 215 Chu Xuan is in trouble
When Zhai Yun uttered these words, even Feng Chenji was stunned. At this moment, Zhai Yun, whose words were sharp as knives, was full of energy and showed no signs of weakness.
Feng Chenji's eyes slowly filled with anger, his hands clenched into fists. This mere guard had repeatedly tested his patience, and he truly could no longer tolerate it.
He had originally intended to bring him under his wing and speak kindly to him, but now, hearing his coldness, he only wanted to sever ties with him and desperately defend Prince Rui.
His patience had run out. He stood up coldly, looking at Zhai Yun who was about to collapse. He felt no pity left in his heart. "I, the Crown Prince, am waiting for the day you regret this."
In his eyes, Prince Rui was like a plaything in the palm of his hand. He had really given Zhai Yun a lot of face. She was so ungrateful and couldn't tell the difference between a king and a princess.
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, as if he had made some kind of decision, he walked away from Zhai Yun's sight step by step.
Zhai Yun knew that she had completely offended him today. But to put it another way, it wasn't that she had offended him, but that he had finally stopped pretending and revealed his true colors!
This is the man Zhai Yun knew.
When Yan Nanheng came out, he saw Zhai Yun kneeling for a long time, looking pale and even a little sunburnt and dehydrated. He was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. He quickly ran over and tried to help Zhai Yun up: "My little ancestor, why are you still kneeling? Get up, get up quickly."
Zhai Yun knew that Yan Nanheng couldn't make the decision, and Emperor Xing'an inside hadn't spoken yet, so Zhai Yun struggled to get up.
Emperor Xing'an's personal eunuch had already come over. He respectfully bowed to Yan Nanheng and said, "Grand Preceptor, please go and see the residence that His Majesty has bestowed upon you. His Majesty has summoned Zhai Yun to an audience."
Yan Nanheng's first reaction was to help Zhai Yun up. Zhai Yun had been kneeling for so long that her legs were almost numb, and when she stood up, she only felt a tingling sensation in her legs.
Fortunately, to outsiders, she did appear to be injured, and her lapse in decorum seemed normal. Dragging her numb legs and hunching her back, Zhai Yun limped towards the imperial study. Only in this way could she deceive the shrewd Emperor Xing'an.
Zhai Yun entered the imperial study with difficulty, knelt down and bowed. These actions seemed extremely difficult. Above her head came Emperor Xing'an's displeased voice: "You are Zhai Yun."
Zhai Yun forced a wry smile. It seemed that Zhai Yun hadn't made a deep impression on him. Zhai Yun replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am."
Emperor Xing'an did not call for Zhai Yun to get up, but coldly said, "Raise your head."
Zhai Yun dared not disobey, so she could only suppress her emotions, try to hide her sharpness, and make herself look more obedient before slowly raising her head and looking away timidly.
Emperor Xing'an was clearly disappointed when he saw Zhai Yun's appearance. He was indeed very curious about what kind of person she was, since she had allowed his two sons to stand up for him.
But now, seeing his timid and unnatural gaze, and his frail, thin frame, it's hard to imagine that he came from the military.
However, his eyes were bright and beautiful.
Emperor Xing'an casually said, "I heard you don't want to be a general and want to study at the Imperial Academy."
"Your Majesty, I know I am but a fool, completely ignorant of court affairs, so I wish to learn," Zhai Yun said, appearing rather docile.
Seeing Zhai Yun's timid and cowardly demeanor, and that she didn't even dare to peek at his face, Emperor Xing'an's curiosity about her vanished. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down!"
Zhai Yun first kowtowed, and then struggled to get up. Her numb legs had lost all feeling, and every step she took felt like she was about to fall. Her knees were also a little sore, and she looked like she could be blown away by the wind.
Emperor Xing'an watched Zhai Yun's departing figure, a look of disdain on his face.
After walking for a while, Zhai Yun's feet finally regained feeling. In order to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, Zhai Yun's steps became faster and faster.
But his hand was still supporting his back, which he couldn't straighten.
After leaving the palace, Zhai Yun did not see Feng Chenyi. She thought he was in the carriage. Before she could get on the carriage, she heard the coachman say that the prince had something to do and had already returned to his residence.
The carriage was empty; even Yan Nanheng was nowhere to be seen. Zhai Yun recalled the eunuchs' address to him in the palace: Imperial Preceptor.
Yan Nanheng must have been given a very important position.
On the way back to the manor, Zhai Yun asked the coachman in detail and learned that Feng Chenyi had not waited for her to return to the manor first because the Second Prince Chu had an accident at the Prince's manor.
Upon hearing this, Zhai Yun felt a pang of anxiety and ordered the coachman to hurry back to the mansion.
The atmosphere in the Prince's mansion was somewhat strange. When Zhai Yun returned, the steward was not there, and Qi Nuo did not come to greet him either. Only a maid was waiting for Zhai Yun at the door. She told Zhai Yun that the Second Prince Chu and others were at the Linshui Pavilion.
Zhai Yun rushed anxiously to the waterside pavilion, and the scene before her eyes shocked her greatly. The first thing that entered her ears was the melodious and graceful sound of the zither, each note like a dancing soul.
A small banquet was prepared in the waterside pavilion. Chu Xuan sat opposite him, while Feng Chenyi and Xia Lanyan had their backs to him. Xia Lanyan sat next to Feng Chenyi, and the two played music and sat together.
Looking at Xia Lanyan, who was dressed up and whose snow-white shoulders were exposed, gazing at Feng Chenyi with deep affection, Zhai Yun was at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat.
Looking at the present situation, it seems that Chu Xuan's incident is a hoax.
Suddenly, Chu Xuan looked over from a distance and waved to Zhai Yun. At the same time, a note was missed in the zither music. Feng Chenyi turned around to look at Zhai Yun, and his hand stopped moving.
Xia Lanyan panicked when she saw Zhai Yun suddenly appear. She grabbed Feng Chenyi's arm with both hands and called out anxiously, "Your Highness."
Seeing that Chu Xuan had already run towards Zhai Yun, Feng Chenyi turned back and continued to pluck the strings of his zither. The music rang out again, lingering in the ears.
Zhai Yun was dragged over by Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan pulled Zhai Yun to his seat and sat down with him. Zhai Yun glanced at him unintentionally, and the scene in front of her was truly glaring.
Time seemed to rewind to the military camp in Wind Chime City. Feng Chenyi played music, and Xia Lanyan performed a stunning dance. Everyone in the camp said that they were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
Zhai Yun only came to her senses when she felt someone shoving her. Chu Xuan was looking at her with a strange expression. "Did you hear what I said?"
"Huh?" Zhai Yun was confused.
She genuinely hadn't heard it. She hadn't seen Xia Lanyan in a long time and only knew that she was beautiful, but she had forgotten that she was multi-talented.
"Lanyan has agreed to return to the country with me. If Father King recognizes her as my sister, then she will be the eldest princess of Liuyue Kingdom. I promise her that I will come to arrange a marriage at that time." Chu Xuan's voice was partially covered by the sound of the zither, and only Zhai Yun could hear it.
Zhai Yun was startled: "A marriage alliance." Zhai Yun was somewhat incredulous: "To whom? Brother Yi?"
Looking at Xia Lanyan's happiness, Chu Xuan felt inexplicably happy. This excitement made him ignore Zhai Yun's strange behavior, and he firmly replied, "Yes."
