Chapter 227 At that time, she should have faced everything directly.
Zhai Yun removed Feng Chenyi's hand from her eyes and continued to watch Tianfei's frenzied state, her voice devoid of emotion: "This medicine must be very harmful to the body, right?"
Feng Chenyi hugged Zhai Yun from behind in fear and hurriedly explained, "I only give her one pill every month or so. She eats very well normally, so she can make up for it."
Seeing that Consort Tian was still engrossed in her thoughts, Zhai Yun suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. "Does this have to go on forever?"
If only Feng Chenyi hadn't been born into an imperial family, she could have lived an ordinary life with him, avoided committing murder, and been able to be reincarnated peacefully after death.
Feng Chenyi tightened his grip on Zhai Yun, rubbing his chin against her shoulder and occasionally brushing against her neck, which Zhai Yun found icy cold.
"Yun'er, I don't want to touch her." Feng Chenyi looked as aggrieved as a child, then he told Zhai Yun, "After everything is over, I will compensate her and send her away. That day won't be far away!"
Feng Chenyi escorted Zhai Yun back to Yunchen Pavilion. Zhai Yun's mind was filled with images of Consort Tian. Although she was doing good deeds after her rebirth to atone for the sins of her previous life, she was still thinking about it.
But she hadn't forgotten why she had come back: she had come to save Feng Chenyi and stop him from killing.
Although Consort Tian only took medicine, who could have known that this wouldn't lead to her committing murder? In this world, cause and effect are cyclical, and justice can only be served by the order of the human world.
As for Consort Chen's matter, so is his own. She cannot let him involve innocent people. Otherwise, what would be the point of his return? Even if he were to die, he would be just like her, or even more sinful than her!
Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun, who was lost in thought, with concern. He noticed that Zhai Yun's hands were a little cold, so he put them in his hands and breathed on them.
Zhai Yun came to her senses, her eyes vacant and lifeless as she looked at Feng Chenyi. "Brother Yi, we can't involve innocent people, and we shouldn't kill innocent people, okay?"
Protecting one's country is a duty, but harming innocent people for one's own selfish desires is unacceptable.
Looking into Zhai Yun's lifeless, empty eyes, as if she were a soulless shell, Feng Chenyi felt both afraid and panicked. "I promise you, Yun'er, I'll do whatever you want, just don't scare me!"
As Feng Chenyi spoke, he warmed Zhai Yun's cold cheeks with his hands, which he had rubbed together to make them warm.
Zhai Yun's empty eyes slowly closed, and looking into Feng Chenyi's eyes, she felt a mix of emotions: "You and..."
Zhai Yun wanted to suggest that he consummate his marriage with Consort Tian, but after careful consideration, he realized that if he were to consummate his marriage with Consort Tian, what would become of his relationship with his wife from his previous life, Xia Lanyan?
Xia Lanyan returns to Wujin Kingdom. Once her identity is confirmed, she will be married to him. Everything in this life is very different from the previous life. If Zhai Yun speaks out, wouldn't that be interfering with cause and effect?
Zhai Yun ultimately gave up. Perhaps when Xia Lanyan returned, it would be time for her to face everything.
Zhai Yun didn't want him to stay any longer, since their residences were only a wall apart, but with Consort Tian there, Zhai Yun decided to let it go.
Let her cherish the last moments she has with him!
That night, Zhai Yun thought about many things. In her past and present lives, many people and things around Feng Chenyi had changed because of her appearance and the changes she brought.
Before she died in her previous life, he never returned to the capital.
Feng Chenyi slept behind Zhai Yun. Although Zhai Yun had her back to him, he knew she wasn't asleep; her breathing wasn't like that when she was asleep.
Is it really only by finding a way to see past and present lives that we can understand what Zhai Yun went through and why she has become like a walking corpse?
Why call her a walking corpse? Sometimes Feng Chenyi felt that using this word to describe Yun'er was indeed excessive, but the current Zhai Yun was living for him, and he could feel it.
The next morning, the first thing Zhai Yun did upon waking up was to send a message to Master Rui and the others, asking how things were going. She wanted to help her brother Yi find out the truth about his mother's death.
Feng Chenyi left the side hall early on. He didn't return to the main hall. At that moment, Zhai Yun, who had just finished delivering the message, stood in the corridor and heard the door of the main hall slowly open.
Consort Tian emerged from inside, looking refreshed. Her maids, along with five or six others, had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing that Consort Tian was in a good mood, they were all happy as well.
After seeing Zhai Yun give her a provocative look, Consort Tian went inside to wash up.
Zhai Yun overheard the two maids who entered last discussing, "The prince is so good to the empress; he even allows her to use the prince's bedchamber at will."
Perhaps the Sweet Concubine is truly happy now! Zhai Yun thought.
Not long after Zhai Yun returned to his room, a maid knocked on the door of his bedroom. "Young master, Her Majesty wants you to prepare the carriage first, as she wants to go out early to choose a gift."
Zhai Yun smiled and replied, "I heard you."
Province One and Province Three went back to the shadows, while Province Two stayed behind. Zhai Yun had just asked him to pass on a message, and he said that Qi Nuo and the others had returned last night.
Early this morning, Qi Nuo followed Feng Chenyi out of the mansion, seemingly heading in the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
When Zhai Yun reached the door, the Second Provincial Governor had already prepared a carriage. Seeing Zhai Yun come out, he led a horse over and said, "Young Master, this horse was brought from the grasslands by the Prince and was specially prepared for you."
Zhai Yun looked at the horse; it was strong and tall, a fine steed. She hadn't ridden a horse in a long time. Zhai Yun took the horse and said, "Alright, you can go back now!"
The second-in-command looked troubled. "But His Highness instructed me to take good care of you."
Zhai Yun mounted the horse and tried it out. "I'm going to serve people. If I bring you along, it'll just cause gossip!" Besides, today we're going to the residence of the Emperor's brother-in-law.
The Second Provincial Commander lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Then I'll stay hidden. Just call out if you need any orders." He used to be a bodyguard, so this was something he was good at.
Zhai Yun nodded. He had just ridden his horse around once when Consort Tian came out, accompanied by six maids. This entourage was the most impressive among all the female members of the family.
Seeing the carriage prepared at the gate, she seemed quite satisfied. She didn't usually ride in this carriage when she went out of the mansion; this one was reserved for Prince Rui and was his personal carriage.
Before getting into the carriage, Consort Tian didn't forget to throw a remark at Zhai Yun, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
Zhai Yun rode leisurely at the front on horseback. Since Consort Tian hadn't said where she was going to buy it, Zhai Yun had no choice but to follow beside the carriage.
After the carriage traveled through several streets, it stopped in front of Baiguan, the largest and most stylish jewelry store in the capital. Consort Tian alighted from the sedan chair and was helped by her maid.
She spoke with her usual arrogant tone: "Come on, let me show you something! Without me, you'd probably never even step through this door in your entire life!"
The maidservant beside Consort Tian was worried that Consort Zhai Yun wouldn't understand.
