Feng Yu Heng didn't understand what he meant by the Sixth Prince being in danger. Xuan Tianming explained to her, "If I'm not wrong, the Sixth Brother came back for the 30,000 soldiers. He shouldn't hand over the military power so easily, but Imperial Father has already issued an edict. Either he disobeys the edict, or … I'm afraid the Eighth Brother will make a move against him. "
"Disobey the edict? How? " Feng Yu Heng's understanding of this era was that imperial power reigned supreme. She couldn't think of how the Sixth Prince could go against Emperor Tianwu.
However, Xuan Tianming told her, "The best way is to avoid him. Since he returned to the capital at this time, he doesn't want to alarm anyone. If we can't find him in Ji 'an County or the capital, the commander's seal will always be in his hands. In the end, the 30,000 soldiers are his personal guards, and he has the commander's seal in his hands. No matter when, as long as he calls, the 30,000 soldiers will immediately respond. You say, with such a person hiding in the dark, how can the Eighth Brother not dig him out? And with the Sixth Brother's temperament, I'm afraid he can't beg the Eighth Brother. "
"Then what should we do?" Feng Yu Heng was also somewhat worried. Xuan Tianming's analysis was correct. The Sixth Prince couldn't just hand over the commander's seal. In this kind of situation, if he did, he would be helping the tyrant. The Sixth Prince was a person who could distinguish right from wrong. He couldn't just stand by and watch such an unforeseen event happen in the imperial court. "Will the Sixth Brother ally with us?" She asked, "Previously, he gave the 30,000 soldiers to the Seventh Brother. Presumably, he's also on your side, right?"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Indeed, he's close to us. So, since he's returned to the capital, he should come to us soon. At that time, we'll have a good discussion. No matter what, we can't let the Eighth Brother succeed. "
The two of them chatted for a while. Regarding Consort Li's funeral, Xuan Tianming only said, "Sixth Brother is back. Let him handle this matter. That Imperial Concubine Li's side is not normal. "While saying this, he pointed at his own head," Anyone that really wants to argue with her would be an idiot. As for Yang or Yang, I agree with the Sixth Brother. Consort Li probably doesn't know that kind of stuff. She just heard it from someone else. "
Since Xuan Tianming had already said so, what else could Feng Yu Heng say? The two of them chatted for a while longer until dawn arrived. Xuan Tianming had to go to morning court again. Before he left, he put the tiger tally in Feng Yu Heng's space. To him, only his wife's space was the safest place.
After Xuan Tianming left, Feng Yu Heng began to catch up on sleep. She slept until noon. Huang Quan cheerfully came into the room to wake her up. He pulled her up from the bed with great difficulty and said loudly, "Young Miss! Master Zirui is back! Wang Chuan sent a message. He'll enter the city in an hour. Young Miss, wake up quickly. Let's go pick up the young master! "
As soon as she heard that Zirui was back, Feng Yu Heng immediately became energetic. She quickly got up and washed up. She didn't even have time to eat before she hurriedly followed Huang Quan out. When their carriage arrived at the northern city gate, there was still some time before the "one hour" Huang Quan said.
Feng Yu Heng couldn't sit still in the carriage. She simply got out and had the coachman drive the carriage to an empty space to wait. She brought Huang Quan closer to the city gates and looked outside the city gates in a somewhat anxious manner.
Huang Quan laughed at her and said, "Young Miss is too anxious. When the carriage enters the city, you'll naturally see him."
She also admitted that she was anxious. She shook her head and bitterly smiled, "I haven't seen Zirui for too long. I'm panicking." After she finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at the soldiers guarding the city. After looking for a while, she frowned and said, "Did Eighth Brother change all the soldiers guarding the city? When did the matters of the Nine Gates fall under his control? "
"It probably happened in the last few days. His Majesty listens to the Eighth Prince and Consort Yuanshu. If he wants to change the people of the Nine Gates, it's just a matter of a few words from them." Huang Quan looked at the soldiers at the city gate and said very unhappily, "I don't know where the people of the Nine Gates were sent. Were these people taken from His Highness the Sixth Prince's thirty thousand elite soldiers?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "It shouldn't be. The city gate is an important place. He couldn't have chosen from the thirty thousand people. In my opinion, they should be the Imperial Guard from the palace. During the few months we went to the South, Old Eight changed all the Imperial Guards. Those people are naturally his trusted subordinates. Thinking about it, the ones he put in important positions must be that group. "
As they spoke, they looked at the city gate. They saw that all the people entering and leaving the city were carefully examined by the soldiers guarding the city. There were even some suspicious people who had their bags opened. All the carriages entering and leaving the city were carefully searched. No matter if they were male or female, they were all questioned before they were allowed to pass.
Huang Quan frowned and said, "What are they doing? It's like they're interrogating criminals. Is there a thief in the capital? "
Feng Yu Heng also didn't know why, but she could see that Xuantian Mo was being cautious. Regardless of whether or not there was a thief in the capital, under this investigation, anyone who had a guilty conscience would be found. For example, a young boy who only stole five taels of silver from a rich young master. She shrugged and said, "If this can improve the security of the capital, then it can be considered a good thing."
As they spoke, a large carriage came in from outside the city and was being inspected by the soldiers at the city gate. Huang Quan saw the wooden sign hanging on the carriage with a large "Yao" character written on it. She was so happy that she jumped up and immediately pointed, "Young miss, look, the young master is back!"
Feng Yu Heng naturally also saw the Yao Family's carriage, but she didn't immediately go forward. She stood in the distance and watched the soldiers inspect the carriage. Seeing Huang Quan's confusion, she explained, "The two sides are on opposite sides. If I don't go, then maybe they'll just investigate. If I go forward, then I'm afraid they'll investigate even more carefully. It's better to have less trouble. The current capital is not the same as it was before. "
Indeed, it wasn't the same as before. In the past, how could the soldiers dare to inspect the Yao Family's carriage? They would let them pass. Not only would they let them pass, but they also had to smile. Who didn't know that the Yao Family was Princess Ji 'an's maternal family? How could they dare to suspect the Yao Family? But now it was different. Everyone was on the Eighth Brother's side now. Even if there was no wind, there would still be three layers of waves. If Feng Yu Heng went forward, then the other party would definitely find fault with them.
But even if she didn't go forward, the inspection of the Yao Family's carriage was much stricter than other carriages. It was to the extent that the Miao Clan, Zirui, and the little girl Yingcao were all chased out of the carriage. Even Wang Chuan and a girl from the Miao Clan were brought out. A few people stood on the ground and were ordered to walk in circles and jump around. Only when they were certain that there was nothing else on their bodies were they allowed to leave. However, Huang Quan could clearly see the unwillingness in the eyes of these soldiers. She angrily said: "What are these people trying to investigate?"
Feng Yu Heng sneered and said, "I'm afraid that even a dagger for self-defense will be used against them." After she finished speaking, she didn't stand there anymore. She took a few steps forward and shouted, "Zirui!"
Feng Zirui was unhappy about being interrogated by the soldiers, but he endured it and didn't say anything. He was 11 years old and thought of himself as a young man and not a child anymore. Her teacher had said that when a person grew up, they had to have their own unique way of thinking. They shouldn't be like a child, doing whatever they wanted to do and expressing their emotions in whatever way they wanted. The difference between an adult and a child was that when you have your own thoughts, you must learn how to express them.
So when he was interrogated, even though he was unhappy, he didn't express it. Instead, he accepted the interrogation openly. At the same time, he was wondering why the capital had become so strict. He didn't know that there were changes in the capital, but as soon as he entered the city, a completely different aura from before made this child alert.
However, this sort of vigilance and self-awareness that he had gained after growing up was completely destroyed by Feng Yu Heng's shout. He looked towards the direction of the voice and saw his sister standing in the crowd looking at him. He dashed over and directly threw himself into Feng Yu Heng's arms.
This brat had grown up. He had grown taller, and his strength had increased. This charge caused Feng Yu Heng to stumble. If it was not for Huang Quan supporting her from behind, she would have fallen.
Feng Yu Heng smiled and reached out to hug her little brother. She said with a smile, "I haven't seen you in half a year. My Zirui has grown up. As expected, this age is when boys grow the fastest. In the past, we would only see each other once every few months, but I didn't feel the change this time! " As she spoke, she gestured with her hands and couldn't help but sigh again, "He's already reached Sister's shoulder. In half a year, I'm afraid he'll be taller than Sister."
Zirui raised his head and said with a smile, "It's good to be taller than Sister. That way, I can protect Sister. When we go out in the future, Zirui will walk in front and protect Sister behind me. No matter what danger we encounter, we won't be afraid. " He was proud. After letting go of Feng Yu Heng, he raised his arms and said, "Sister, I'm learning martial arts in Xiao Zhou! The academy teaches both civil and martial arts. The teacher said that my physical condition is very good and suitable for practicing martial arts. So, he specially invited a martial arts teacher to teach me for two more hours every day outside of class. When I go back, I'll look for brother-in-law to spar. Maybe he won't be able to beat me. "
After all, he was still a child. After learning a little Tianwu, he already felt that he was very good. His words made Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan laugh in unison. Amidst the laughter, the Miao Clan and Wang Chuan also walked over. The coachman moved the big carriage to the side and tried not to block the path of the pedestrians.
Feng Yu Heng saw Miao shi and quickly went forward to greet her. Very gratefully, she saluted Miao shi and said: "A-Heng greets third aunty. Many thanks third aunty for coming to Xiao Zhou to take care of younger brother for A-Heng. A-Heng is very grateful."
The Miao Clan quickly helped her up and said, "Heng, what are you doing? You're now Royal Consort Yu. You can't bow to me in public. Besides, Zirui is my nephew. It's my duty to take care of him. " As she spoke, she pulled Zirui and said, "Heng, look. Hasn't Zirui grown a lot taller? He's grown really fast in the past half a year. Even I, who see him every three days or so, can see it! "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and said happily, "It's because Aunt has taken good care of him. No matter who Heng is, he is still a junior in front of Aunt. It's my duty to bow to you. Even Xuan Tianming has to bow to you when he sees you. "
The Miao Clan liked Feng Yu Heng very much. She held Feng Yu Heng's hand and patted the back of her hand. Her eyes were full of love.
At this time, Wang Chuan, who was standing behind the Miao Clan, looked behind Feng Yu Heng. He saw a group of soldiers walking towards them with a serious face. The leader was a eunuch. She couldn't help but frown. She had a bad feeling …
