Chapter 203 Late Night Visitor
"Do you think that I'm attracted to Chu Xuan?" Zhai Yun smiled.
Feng Chenyi froze. The last thing he wanted to hear was about Chu Xuan. He didn't want to hear it; he just wanted to tell Zhai Yun.
Chu Xuan is not worthy of entrusting your life to.
He couldn't even think or discern what Zhai Yun meant by those words; he was simply inexplicably afraid.
I'm afraid that Zhai Yun has found someone she loves, and I'm afraid that they will have to part ways again!
I'm afraid Zhai Yun has fallen for the wrong person, and I'm afraid she might do something drastic because of it!
“Yun’er…I…” Feng Chenyi himself didn’t know what to say.
“Chu Xuan is just a friend, my only friend all these years.” Zhai Yun looked firmly into Feng Chenyi’s eyes and explained, “It’s true that I’m sad, but it’s not like I can’t live without him.”
Looking at Feng Chenyi, who was both frightened and worried, Zhai Yun guessed what he was thinking: "Brother Yi, do you think that I like Chu Xuan and can't live without him, and you can't understand why you see him holding another woman?"
It was precisely because he was afraid that he kept comforting himself.
The Yi-gege she knew wasn't a talkative person.
When Feng Chenyi heard Zhai Yun point out his inner thoughts, and she said lightly that she and Chu Xuan were just friends, and there was no trace of gloom on her face, Feng Chenyi felt a glimmer of light in his heart.
Feng Chenyi had learned about everything that had happened to Zhai Yun during the years she was gone. Zhai Yun had been traveling around, but she was always busy with business and accounting. The only thing she had done during those years was have a couple of drinks with Chu Xuan.
She didn't have many friends, and Zhai Yun was unwilling to make friends because she didn't want too many people to know her identity.
No matter where she was, she was always thinking about her and his situation, keeping it low-key and unassuming.
She did this so that one day she could appear by Prince Rui's side as his attendant, accompanying him through thick and thin, facing storms together.
He never imagined that Zhai Yun would leave him one day.
“Xiao Nian was burned and her body is damaged. I have ordered people to carefully repair it.” Feng Chenyi tried to change the subject. “Although it is a demon, it is kind by nature and seems to be very close to you. It is now homeless. Would you like to keep it by your side?”
Xiao Nian was a great help in the final stage, but letting it run around recklessly inevitably caused chaos in the city.
"It's good that Brother Yi has made the decision." Too many things have happened today, and Zhai Yun still needs to sort them out carefully.
After Feng Chenyi put Zhai Yun to sleep, he did not go to handle official business as usual, but stayed by her side.
As Zhai Yun was drifting off to sleep, she vaguely heard someone outside the door reporting something. Then, the blanket was pulled tighter and tighter, and a faint sound of footsteps slowly faded away.
Outside Tingyu Pavilion, Qi Nuo cautiously watched Feng Chenyi step out of the house. He knew the prince's temper and dared not make a sound even when he saw the prince come out.
Instead, they waited quietly for the prince to speak.
It was late at night, and a cool breeze swept through the corridor. Feng Chenyi's voice was exceptionally soft: "Lead the way."
Only after receiving the order did Qi Nuo dare to move her body slightly, turning around with light and cautious steps, afraid of displeasing the prince.
If it weren't for an urgent matter, he would never have dared to disturb the prince at this hour. He was already extremely fortunate to see that the prince wasn't angry when he came out.
After they had walked some distance from Tingyu Pavilion, Qi Nuo whispered, "He chose this time to come, probably because he didn't want others to know he had been here, after all, his father is a deputy general in the military camp in the northern suburbs."
You have been ordered to take over the Northern Camp, which is why I had to trouble Your Highness.
After saying this, Qi Nuo secretly glanced at Prince Rui and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Prince Rui's face remained calm.
Jiang Shu's father is named Jiang Yuanyi. Qi Nuo had investigated him before. He was loyal to the court and was a rare talent. He also cared a lot about his son.
Most of the people who patrolled the Prince Rui's residence on New Year's Eve had already retired for the night.
When Qi Nuo led Feng Chenyi to the front yard, the candlelight was dim, and a person wearing a cloak hesitated back and forth in the darkness.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around abruptly, his face full of anxiety. Only upon close inspection could one make out Jiang Shu's face.
Upon seeing Feng Chenyi, he excitedly took three steps in one and rushed over, kneeling respectfully just two steps away from Feng Chenyi.
"Jiang Shu greets Your Highness and thanks Your Highness for your guidance during the day." Although Jiang Shu had never met Prince Rui, he had heard all the rumors circulating outside.
But at this moment, he truly admired Prince Rui from the bottom of his heart.
Rumors circulated that Prince Rui was exiled to the northern wilderness for fighting a minor battle; he was a native of the area and a reckless, uneducated man.
Although Prince Rui did not make a move today, he used his ability to transmit his thoughts from afar to help him break the game, preserve the family's honor, and maintain his own dignity.
This also prevented him from losing face in front of the world and being unable to hold his head up.
He then realized that Prince Rui was not the reckless fool he was rumored to be.
Feng Chenyi slowly walked to a chair and sat down, his face expressionless: "You don't need to make a special trip. I did this not for you."
It just so happens that I know how to do it, and I just can't afford to lose.
Jiang Shu crawled on her knees to Feng Chenyi's side, tears of gratitude streaming down her face: "To Your Highness, this may be insignificant, but to Jiang Shu, it is a lifesaver."
The prince's simple act of kindness saved not only Jiang Shu, but his entire family.
Today's grand competition between the two countries is a testament to his exceptional chess skills, and he is representing the best chess player in Fengli Kingdom. If it weren't for the guidance of Prince Rui, he would have suffered a crushing defeat.
Not to mention whether he will be able to pick up a chess piece again in the future, he and his family will be despised by others.
Fearing that Prince Rui would be displeased by his late arrival, Jiang Shu directly stated his purpose: "I know that Your Highness has taken over the military camp in the north of the city, but has not yet been able to subdue it. Although my father is of low status, he can still lend Your Highness a helping hand."
As Jiang Shu spoke, he observed the prince's expression and only dared to continue when he saw that the prince did not stop him from speaking: "Three days. Jiang Shu only needs three days to persuade my father to serve the prince. At that time, I will definitely bring my father to pay his respects."
Qi Nuo had no idea why he was bothering the prince so late at night under pressure, but when he heard Jiang Shu say that he could persuade his father to pledge allegiance to the prince, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the capital, apart from his clandestine factions, the prince had no one to rely on, so much so that any official in the court could ridicule and gossip about him.
Although the Northern Wilderness Army only obeys the Prince's orders, that is a life-saving talisman left by the Prince for General Wan. As long as General Wan is alive, he will not use it.
If the Prince can completely bring the Northern City military camp under his command, he will have a powerful ally in the capital and can then eliminate those who gossip.
Qi Nuo looked at the prince excitedly, wanting to see if the prince was as happy as she was.
However, he still couldn't find a trace of emotion on the prince's face. Over the years, even someone like him who had lived in darkness had slowly come to life.
