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

Chapter 225 Afraid of Knowing Too Much

Feng Chenyi's fingertips were still on Zhai Yun's neck. He glanced at the Second Provincial Examination Center once, then looked away. His fingertips gently rubbed against Zhai Yun's neck, as if wiping something away.

Although the movements of the second provincial team were not significant, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were both experts, and even the slightest commotion behind them was exceptionally clear to their ears.

After wiping her clean, Feng Chenyi withdrew his hand and said softly, "Yun'er has really grown up."

After saying that, he pretended nothing had happened and continued eating his food, while Zhai Yun was still in shock for a long time. No matter when, his approach and touch never disgusted Zhai Yun.

Moreover, his unintentional movement would make Zhai Yun's whole body scream, screaming that she wanted to pounce on him.

Perhaps it was because Zhai Yun hadn't concealed her desires that she heard Feng Chenyi say that she had grown up.

Even if she resisted matters between men and women in her past life and didn't experience pleasure, the feeling of being in close contact with Brother Yi was something she had never experienced before.

The thought of having such feelings for Brother Yi made Zhai Yun feel ashamed. Her face turned red, and not wanting to be exposed, she buried her head in her soup and protested, "I'm all grown up now, much earlier than you."

Strictly speaking, she is an elderly woman who has lived a full life and watched Feng Chenyi grow up; her actual age is several decades older than Feng Chenyi.

But now, in front of Feng Chenyi, who grew up striving and working hard, she's like a child. Is this the power of the imperial bloodline? Innate wisdom that suppresses everything!

Seeing that these two old men had finally returned to normal, the second-in-command of the province felt a sense of relief, like he had escaped a calamity. But before he could relax for long, he heard Feng Chenyi coldly ask, "How did things go?"

The second-in-command immediately tensed up. "Your Highness, we haven't found an opportunity yet, but many people in the court already know about the commotion at Hanshui Pavilion."

Zhai Yun's heart skipped a beat, and her recently calmed mood became uneasy again. Things were indeed much as she had thought.

Although the world does not know that Hanshui Pavilion belongs to Yunyi Manor, Hanshui Pavilion has killed people for many people, and many important officials in several countries have close ties with Hanshui Pavilion. How could such a big commotion not be leaked?

Zhai Yun was still very curious. Brother Yi couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Why was he going to such lengths to mobilize so many people?

"Yun'er?" As Zhai Yun frowned, Feng Chenyi stared at her and called out softly.

Zhai Yun looked puzzled, and when she looked up at Feng Chenyi, her expression was clear. "Huh?"

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun and explained seriously, "I was too impulsive. I originally wanted to kill the Crown Prince directly, but he was in the palace and had no chance at all."

Having already let go of the matter after asking before, Zhai Yun hadn't planned to ask again. But now that Brother Yi was being honest, Zhai Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because of what I told you?"

So, was he feeling sorry for her, or was he bothered by her entanglement with the Crown Prince? Zhai Yun wondered to herself.

Without even thinking, Feng Chenyi waved his hand and said, "No, no."

Zhai Yun had been by his side for so many years, and she still remembered when they were children, he went to find food, but when he came back with a bruised and swollen face, he didn't find any. Zhai Yun asked him if he had been bullied.

Just like now, he waved his hand without even thinking and said no, no.

This is actually one of his ways of lying. He usually speaks calmly and seems indifferent to everything, and he rarely shows any panic when he is with Zhai Yun.

When he said that, he did so almost without thinking, waving his hand in a panic.

That time, he didn't want Zhai Yun to worry, but this time...

Zhai Yun rarely saw him so flustered. Looking at the way Zhai Yun had looked at him just now, he could see a sense of fear in his eyes, as if he had done something wrong. He stood there, staring at Zhai Yun, not daring to move.

Zhai Yun suddenly burst out laughing. He looked like he had returned to his childhood, and was even a little silly and cute.

When Feng Chenyi saw Zhai Yun smile, the gloom in his eyes vanished, replaced by joy. He gently tugged at Zhai Yun's sleeve and shook it, whispering softly, "Yun'er, I was wrong. Next time, I will definitely discuss things with you before I do anything."

Seeing his rare gentle apology, Zhai Yun couldn't stay angry anymore. She touched his beautiful face and smiled indulgently, "Let it go this time. Quickly call them back!"

Despite being highly trained and a former assassin, Sheng Er was nearly speechless when faced with such a prince. If Qi Nuo and the others were to return and Sheng Er told them that the prince was acting cute and charming towards the young master, they probably wouldn't believe him.

I thought things were settled and I could finally have a peaceful meal, but I never expected Consort Tian to cause such a scene. When Consort Tian came in, Zhai Yun was already standing behind Feng Chenyi, letting her know that she was eating with the prince she admired.

Zhai Yun sensed that this was not a good thing.

After listening to Consort Tian's tearful complaints for a long time, Zhai Yun finally understood that after she moved to Tingyu Pavilion, her original residence was demolished, under the pretext that "the Prince said that since you don't like it, there is no need for it to exist."

Sweet Concubine wanted to snuggle into Feng Chenyi's arms, but Feng Chenyi stood up abruptly. Whether it was intentional or not, Sweet Concubine tried to lean closer, but Feng Chenyi dodged her.

Consort Tian wondered if it was related to her father. Feng Chenyi was still angry, and feeling guilty, she didn't force her way over this time. Instead, she cried loudly, "Your Highness, the area around Tingyu Pavilion is deserted and located in the deepest part of the manor. I do like it, but I only intended to stay there occasionally. Your Highness, you must do me a favor!"

Zhai Yun originally chose Tingyuxuan because it was secluded and located in the farthest part of the Prince's mansion, where few people would go.

In Tianfei's eyes, all of this became reasons not to want to live there.

Zhai Yun almost burst out laughing, but coincidentally, her laughter made her unaware that her beloved concubine, Tianfei, was looking at her.

Consort Tian looked at Zhai Yun, a calculating thought flashing through her mind. She stopped crying and quickly walked to Feng Chenyi's side, looking aggrieved. "Your Highness, after Lan Yan left, I really don't have anyone useful by my side. Why don't you lend me Guard Zhai for a while?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in Yunchen Pavilion turned cold. Tianfei, unaware of the trickery, looked around and thought it was just a breeze blowing in, while Sheng Er felt the danger of being beheaded.

The second official quickly interjected, "Princess Consort, you've got it wrong. It's not a guard, it's the young master. If you want to use someone, I can arrange it for you."

Consort Tian looked disdainful. She had initially found Zhai Yun somewhat agreeable, but ever since she heard from her aunt, the Empress, that the Prince spent the most time with her, and that according to her aunt's spies in the Prince's residence, the Prince often went directly to Tingyu Pavilion upon returning home...
