Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

Chapter 148 Meeting Liu Yue in the Palace

They were rushing over from Yunyi Villa, so they got up earlier than ever. As soon as Zhai Yun got on the carriage, she was stunned. The carriage was spacious and comfortable, with a thick carpet on the floor and the seat wide enough for one person to lie down.

There was a heater in the carriage, and Feng Chenyi also specially prepared a blanket for Zhai Yun to cover her with when she slept.

Even if they hurried to the morning court, it would take at least two or three hours, which was enough time for Zhai Yun to catch a nap in the carriage. However, Zhai Yun felt a little sorry for Feng Chenyi. She patted her legs and said, "We still have an hour to go to the palace. You can lean on me and get some sleep."

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun's gentle and expectant eyes, his whole body trembled slightly, and he leaned his body towards Zhai Yun's legs. He remembered that when he was a child, his mother was also like Zhai Yun, letting him lean on her legs to rest.

Zhai Yun's hand rested lightly on Feng Chenyi's shoulder, patting it intermittently, as if coaxing a child to sleep. Her gentle voice rang in Feng Chenyi's ear: "Go to sleep. I'll call you when it's time."

Time and space seemed to overlap at this moment. Zhai Yun held him in her arms just like his mother held him to coax him to sleep when he was a child, which made him feel at ease.

Feng Chenyi's morning court session today seemed to last a little longer, just like the day when the third prince had an accident, as if something earth-shattering had happened. Zhai Yun thought of Xuanyuan Che whom she met last night.

Emperor Che of Xuanyuan Kingdom is visiting, so Feng Chenyi might not be able to return to Prince Rui’s Mansion today.

Just as Zhai Yun was thinking about whether to go back first and wait for the coachman here, she saw a eunuch coming out of the palace. The eunuch glanced in Zhai Yun's direction and hurried towards her.

Zhai Yun thought Feng Chenyi had something to tell her, so she went to greet the eunuch. The eunuch saw Zhai Yun and called out, "Guard Zhai."

"Sir, you have received instructions from the prince." The eunuchs were all servants of the emperor, so Zhai Yun asked politely.

Seeing Zhai Yun's respectful look, the eunuch smiled and raised his head slightly. "Emperor Che of Xuanyuan Kingdom is visiting today. The emperor has arranged for all the ministers to welcome him and hold a banquet. The prince asked me to take you to the palace."

All the ministers were arranged to welcome and hold a banquet, so it might not be appropriate for Zhai Yun to enter the palace at this time. However, since Feng Chenyi had given the order, Zhai Yun still entered the palace with the eunuchs.

Emperor Che came to visit through the main gate. The eunuchs along the way told Zhai Yun that Xuanyuan Che had already arrived at the main gate. The pomp and circumstance was much different from that of other visiting envoys.

Zhai Yun thought to herself that since Xuanyuan Che was the king of a country, it was normal for him to travel in a high-profile manner.

The eunuch brought Zhai Yun to the banquet prepared to welcome the Xuanyuan Kingdom. He said that it was Feng Chenyi who ordered Zhai Yun to be brought here and asked Zhai Yun to wait here.

Zhai Yun looked at the busy palace maids and eunuchs, knowing that they would not come so soon. Zhai Yun walked to the edge of the banquet hall to find a place to sit down and rest for a while.

A hurried figure bumped into Zhai Yun with such force that she staggered. The person who bumped into Zhai Yun was about to say, "I'm sorry."

He was stunned the moment he saw Zhai Yun. Zhai Yun, who was knocked unconscious, was also stunned when he saw who was coming. He was dressed as a eunuch and had a handsome face. It was obviously Liu Yue.

Liu Yue saw Zhai Yun's appearance clearly and turned around to run away. Zhai Leng endured the pain and called out to him, "Stop."

He was a hostage, dressed up as a eunuch and swaggered in front of Zhai Yun. The last time he was at the palace gate, he was entering the palace, and Zhai Yun had helped him without saying a word.

But allowing him to come and go freely in the entire Fengli Kingdom Palace is too much of a joke.

Liu Yue stopped walking and stood there at a loss, his eyes darting around, afraid that Zhai Yun would do something to him.

Zhai Yun dragged Liu Yue to a deserted place and asked in a questioning tone: "What were you doing? What did you do when you left the palace last time?"

Liu Yue lowered his head and didn't answer. Zhai Yun knew he wouldn't tell the truth. "If you don't tell me, I can only report it to King Rui."

Once Feng Chenyi finds out, the people guarding him will be disciplined, and it will not be easy for him to escape from the palace in the future. Zhai Yun believes that Liu Yue can weigh the pros and cons.

When Liu Yue heard what Zhai Yun said, she secretly glanced at Zhai Yun. After a long time, she took out an oilcloth bag from her sleeve and handed it to Zhai Yun. Zhai Yun opened it and found that it contained some medicinal herbs.

The Imperial Hospital has strict control over medicinal materials. Liu Yue, as a proton, cannot obtain medicinal materials from the Imperial Hospital. With the way he is dressed, he must have sneaked into the Imperial Hospital to steal them.

These herbs were common for treating wounds. Zhai Yun couldn't help but ask, "Are you injured?"

Liu Yue covered her arm and said nothing. Zhai Yun put down the herbs, grabbed Liu Yue's arm and lifted her sleeve. The shocking scars made Zhai Yun stunned, "Who hit you?"

Liu Yue didn't say anything, but there was a sudden noise in the corridor, as if someone was walking towards this side.

Zhai Yun heard someone say, "The Fifth Prince, he's over there."

Zhai Yun was just a guard beside Feng Chenyi, and it was not appropriate for her to confront the Fifth Prince. Zhai Yun put away the herbs and pulled Liu Yue to leave, but was surrounded by the eunuchs brought by the Fifth Prince.

The moment the Fifth Prince saw Zhai Yun clearly, he sneered: "Hey, isn't this the dog beside the monster's son? This prince was worried that he wouldn't find a chance to deal with you. If you meet me today, don't leave!"

When the Fifth Prince said this, he seemed to have forgotten how the expert he had found was defeated last time.

The eunuch beside the Fifth Prince smiled flatteringly, "Fifth Prince, that useless prince from the Sky Embers Kingdom is here too. He broke into the Imperial Hospital and stole some medicinal herbs. I've been following him for a long time."

The Fifth Prince glanced at Liu Yue, who was dressed in eunuch's clothes, with disdain. Liu Yue saw that he seemed very scared.

Zhai Yun understood what was going on and asked, "Were you the one who inflicted the wound on Prince Liuyue?"

The Fifth Prince looked at Zhai Yun with disdain and held his head high. "So what? A little bastard dared to invade our land. Now that he has fallen into my hands, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Zhai Yun had no idea when the Fifth Prince had become so righteous. "The conflict between two countries cannot be decided by one person. Since the Second Prince Liuyue has come to Fengli Country, we Fengli Country should treat him with courtesy!"

As soon as Zhai Yun finished speaking, a slap came down on her face, "You little dog slave, how dare you contradict this prince? You don't want to live anymore!"

The moment the slap came, Zhai Yun was ready to take the Fifth Prince's hand, but Liu Yue pushed her away, and the Fifth Prince's slap missed.

The fifth prince looked at Zhai Yun and Liu Yue angrily, raised his short legs and kicked Liu Yue. However, the weight of one foot could not support his fat body, and he fell backwards.

Four or five eunuchs pushed against him from behind, preventing the Fifth Prince from falling.

After he stood firm, he angrily ordered the eunuch beside him
