Ji 'an Prefecture
Because Consort Yun said that they would eat lunch together, An shi personally went to cook and made a few dishes that she was good at. But Consort Yun was a very fickle person, and her personality was very hard to understand. They had clearly said that they would eat lunch together, but when it was time to eat, she suddenly said that she would go to the shops on the streets. As a result, only An shi and Xiang Rong were left on the table.
An shi helplessly said to Xiang Rong: "Let's eat! I left some for Consort Yun. When she gets back and gets hungry, she can heat it up and eat it. Although she stayed in the prefecture, she has had very little contact with you and me during this period of time. Thinking about it, she must have become estranged because of the matter between you and His Highness the seventh prince. Today, she most likely changed her mind at the last minute. Either way, this sort of situation has not happened once or twice. Don't take it to heart. Eat more. If you continue to lose weight like this, you will become ugly. "
"Am I … very thin?" Xiang Rong touched her cheeks and muttered. She then shook her head with a bitter smile, "Isn't it said that girls look good when they are a bit thinner? Losing weight makes the waist look even more prominent. The young misses of the noble families in the capital all do their best to lose weight. In the past, when eldest sister was alive, she did not eat a single bite of food for five days in a row. She only ate some fruit and drank some tea. "
"But what happened after that? Didn't she still faint from hunger? A doctor was called to prescribe medicine, and she only regained some strength after eating for half a month. "An shi became angry when Feng Chen Yu was brought up," You're the best, so why don't you learn from her? " But when she thought about Feng Chen Yu's final outcome, she also sighed. She just thought that compared to her life in the Feng manor, it was as though it was her previous life. If she knew earlier that there would be such a carefree scene today, perhaps she would have had more energy in her previous life. "Quickly eat! Don't think about such nonsense. "As she said this, she placed another spoonful of rice into Xiang Rong's bowl.
Xiang Rong watched An shi forcefully push down the rice and gently sighed. Picking up the bowl, she picked up some rice with her chopsticks and brought it to her mouth; however, she was unable to swallow it. She finally managed to eat two mouthfuls, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a burst of sadness. That kind of sadness was so strong that it was almost unbearable. Even if she used all her strength, she still couldn't help but cry.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks, covered her face with her hands, and kept crying. An was frightened and asked, "What's wrong? Child, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly crying? "
Xiang Rong cried while shaking her head. Choking with sobs, she said: "I don't know. Mother, I also don't know what's going on. I'm just so sad. It happened so suddenly and without any reason. Mother, my heart hurts, why does it hurt so much? "
How could An shi know why. When Xiang Rong cried, she could only gently comfort her by patting her back. From time to time, she would console her: "Perhaps it's because you've been too depressed over this period of time. Consort Yun is unwilling to leave, and you still need to go to her courtyard every day to pay respects and ask for forgiveness. Although she no longer says anything, you're feeling depressed. Mother has seen it all. If you want to cry, just cry. But after crying, you need to think about yourself. It's impossible for a person to spend the rest of their life alone. Mother will have to leave this world before you do. If you don't have anyone at your side, and you don't have one or two children at your side, how can mother feel at ease? "
Xiang Rong listened to An shi's words and did her best to hope that the reason for her crying was as she had said, but no matter how much she tried to lean on it, something was not quite right. She was helpless and finally shook her head, "No, mother, it's not like what you said. The reason why I'm crying is not because of that. Mother … "She was startled then suddenly asked:" If I die one day, will you cry? "
An shi was startled then nodded: "I will, I will cry, and I will feel distressed. Even if you are at the ends of the earth, I will still feel distressed because we are mother and daughter. Our hearts are connected."
"So it's like that!" Xiang Rong thought for a bit then wiped away her tears. Although they would still flow after drying, she did not just cover her face and cry. Instead, she picked up her bowl of rice and forcefully stuffed two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth. She even picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her bowl. She then said to An shi: "Then I cannot die."
An shi was completely dazed by what she said. Seeing that Xiang Rong was working hard to eat, she was even more confused. She continued to stare at Xiang Rong until Xiang Rong scooped up a second bowl of rice. Finally, she could not hold back and asked: "Why are you suddenly talking about dying? Why do you need to eat so much rice? You've always only eaten a small bowl. During this period of time, you can't even eat half a bowl. What's going on? "
"It's nothing." Xiang Rong stubbornly shook her head, "I just want to live healthily for the sake of mother." After saying this, she stuffed another mouthful of rice into her mouth. But as she ate and ate, the tears in her eyes flowed even more. When they finally flowed into the food, they mixed with her tears and tasted a bit salty. "Mother." He said, "Although Xiang Rong will not die for the sake of mother, I don't really want to live. What should I do?"
What should she do? She was asking An shi, and she was also asking herself. There was a feeling of unease in her heart that came from a person that she had hidden deep in her heart. He had once been so far away that she could not reach him, yet he had once been so close. He was only one step away from being able to accompany her for the rest of her life, but in the end, he still chose to return to that initial distance. In this world, there was only that person that continued to affect her heart. It was as An shi had said. No matter where he was, she would be able to sense him. But what of it? There were many obstacles, and she could not reach his side no matter what.
Xuan Tianming brought along Feng Yu Heng and led the army back to Bin City. As they walked, Feng Yu Heng suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone missing. She asked Wang Chuan: "Did you see Feng Zhao Lian?"
Wang Chuan shook his head, "I did not see him. It seems that after the incident this morning, I did not see Prince Lian again."
She then asked the others and the information she received was that Feng Zhao Lian was not seen again this morning. Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow and made a few guesses in her mind. In the end, she could only helplessly sigh. Forget it, that person could not have just come for Xuan Tianhua. He had his own stubbornness and his own hatred. Ever since Feng Zhao Lian did not hesitate to use such a shameless method to remain in the imperial palace and even lived in the Empress' Jingtsu Temple, she should have understood. That person had followed her to the capital. In the end, it was not possible that he just wanted to start a new life. He had a blood feud with Duan Mu An Guo. He had to think of a way to obtain Duan Mu An Guo's whereabouts. Now that there was hope, how could Feng Zhao Lian continue to stay in the capital peacefully.
Forget it, she just hoped that he would be safe! If he could not, then that would be fate. The cycle of cause and effect, who could escape from it?
The army finally arrived at Bin City before dark the next day. Xuan Tianhua had left 50 thousand soldiers to guard the city. Seeing that his own people had returned, he quickly opened the city gates and watched in confusion as Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng brought back a few hundred thousand soldiers.
The army once again set up camp in Bin City. Feng Yu Heng felt uneasy the entire time. Ever since she entered the city, she went to the East wall and kept looking in the direction of the construction of the city. Unfortunately, after looking for half a night, she was still unable to see the person that she hoped to see.
After Xuan Tianming entered the city, he made emergency arrangements. The battle meeting lasted for a full six hours before it ended. Bai Ze told him that Feng Yu Heng had been on the city gate tower the entire time. When he went over, he saw that girl's thin and weak body standing in the corner of the city gate tower. If she took half a step forward, she would fall down. This truly caused him to break out in a cold sweat.
He quickly went forward to pull her down, but before he could speak, he heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Xuan Tianming, you came at the perfect time. I also wanted to talk to you about something."
"You want to go back to the construction of the city?" He understood this girl too well. If it was an enemy, this girl definitely would not show any mercy. She would definitely use the fiercest methods to deal with them. But if it was someone that she truly cared about, she would risk her life to protect them. Even if her wings were not full, she would still use her slender arms to protect the person that she cared about.
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Seventh Brother still has not returned. I am truly worried. Xuan Tianming, let me go back and take a look! Nothing will happen to me. You should understand. " She blinked at him then shook her left wrist, "Don't worry. As long as we find Seventh Brother, we will return immediately. Also, I am only going to look for him. I definitely will not clash with Duan Mu Anguo."
Xuan Tianming was helpless, "Go! Even if I don't agree, I can't stop you. But you must be careful. Also, you must not drink the water from the construction of the city. Do you understand? "
"I understand!" The little girl smiled happily, "Don't worry. I will return quickly. I will definitely be safe." As she said this, she ran down the city gate tower, shouting loudly: "Xuan Tianming, lend me your horse. I will hide the horse in a safe place. I guarantee that I will bring it back." After saying this, she had already run down the city gate.
The city gate opened a small crack, and Qian Li personally let her out. He then saw their princess ride off on a horse by herself. He could not help but grin. How valiant! In front of a great enemy, and in the enemy's territory, a little girl was so arrogant as to leave the cave alone. This courage was truly something that no man could compare to. Turning back to look at Xuan Tianming who had also come down from the city gate tower, he asked worriedly: "Nothing will happen to the princess, right?"
Xuan Tianming looked through the crack in the city gate that had not yet closed to look at the departing figure. He did not reply to Qian Li's question. This was not a question of whether something would happen or not. Even though he knew that the girl had her space and it would not be difficult for her to protect herself, he still felt uneasy … …
Ten li away from the construction of the city, the place where the Dashun army had once been stationed. When Feng Yu Heng arrived, it was already noon. Although it was winter and the ground was frozen, corpses were strewn all over the place. The ground was filled with broken limbs and pieces of flesh that could not be stepped on. This caused even the air in this part of the world to become turbid.
She dismounted from her horse and crazily rushed into the dismembered corpses. Her feet stumbled, and she almost tripped several times. There was one time when her hands fell on the ground and pressed against a dead person's head. She did not care about her disgust and did her best to search that piece of land. She went into every tent that could not be closed in time to look. Unfortunately, in the end, she still could not successfully find Xuan Tianhua.
She wanted to shout, but she was afraid that there would be an ambush. She searched like this for nearly two hours and turned the camp upside down, but there was no sign of Xuan Tianhua. However, she found a large pool of blood in the commander's tent … …
