Feng Yu Heng blinked: "Seventh Brother, help me beg him not to cut off Wang Chuan and the others' arms, then I'll tell you."
Xuan Tianming reached out and pinched her face: "Have you learned to negotiate with me?"
She giggled. The pinch didn't hurt at all. Instead, it was a bit ambiguous and very considerate. "I really don't blame them. Don't be angry!" She then looked at Xuan Tianhua and said: "There is a secret chamber under the bed in the Feng Family residence. After I found out that there was a problem with the candle, I jumped out of bed and hid inside. Then, I fainted. When I woke up, I heard Seventh Brother talking, so I crawled out. "
Xuan Tianhua looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
How could there be a secret chamber under the bed in the Feng Family residence? How could he not know the place that he had personally searched? He just didn't want to reveal it. Since this girl wanted to keep her little secret, then he would let her do as she pleased!
He could only sigh. It was no wonder that the always willful Xuan Tianming would spoil this girl so much. It turned out that spoiling someone with your heart felt so good.
"If the hidden guards were as helpful as them, then what use would I have?" Xuan Tianming was very concerned about this matter, "How about I give you a different person? How about having Bai Ze follow you?"
Outside the carriage, Bai Ze lifted a corner of the curtain and poked his head in: "Master, this subordinate couldn't even bring you safely out of the mountains in the Northwest. How could I have the ability to protect the princess!"
Feng Yu Heng also nodded: "That's right. I don't want this kind of stupid hidden guard."
Bai Ze waved his fist at Feng Yu Heng and the curtain was instantly put down.
"Xuan Tianming!" Feng Yu Heng simply put on a stern face, "I said that I like having Wang Chuan and Huang Quan by my side all day. I like having Ban Zou bicker with me. Do you really want to drive away the people I like from my side? I haven't married you yet and you're already so overbearing? Then I won't marry! You can take it all back. "
Xuan Tianming raised an eyebrow. This little girl was angry? Did she think he was afraid of her?
"… Then I'll listen to you!" He really was afraid of her.
Xuan Tianhua sitting to the side couldn't hold back and let out a soft laugh. Then he nodded at Feng Yu Heng. His eyes filled with praise.
Not long after, Ban Zou's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, I bought the food."
Feng Yu Heng's eyes lit up, as she rushed to say: "Quickly! Quickly bring it in! I'm starving! "
In the instant that he saw Feng Yu Heng, the always cold-blooded and cold-hearted Ban Zou's nose began to sour. He placed the large bags of food in his hands on the table and took a few steps back. He knelt down with a thump: "This subordinate has failed in his duty. Master, please punish me."
Feng Yu Heng looked at Ban Zou. She felt that this brat had lost a lot of weight in the few days that she hadn't seen him. He was also much darker and his hair was no longer as neat. It was as if he had instantly aged.
She said: "Ban Zou, raise your head."
Ban Zou was startled and refused to comply.
Feng Yu Heng was a bit angry, "Since you call me master, why won't you even raise your head when I tell you to?"
Ban Zou was a bit hesitant. After a while, he finally raised his head.
Feng Yu Heng could clearly see that a scar had appeared on his face.
That scar was clearly a new injury. It was two inches long and the wound had not yet congealed. The skin and flesh had been turned over and thick blood seeped out. It was a ghastly sight.
Feng Yu Heng was also stunned. After looking for a while, she asked him: "What kind of person could actually injure you?"
Ban Zou lowered his head and did not say anything.
Xuan Tianming pulled the little girl back into his embrace. While unwrapping the food for her, he said: "It was done by him. He said that if you weren't willing to forgive him this time, he, Wang Chuan, and Huang Quan would use their deaths as an apology. If you were willing to forgive him, then this scar would be a lesson that he taught himself. "
"Are you stupid?" Feng Yu Heng was speechless, "Could it be that you men all like to play this game? Whenever you run into something, you'll take a knife and cut yourself. Is it that interesting? "
Xuan Tianming curled his lips: "Of course it's not interesting."
"If it's not interesting, why would he cut himself?"
"He's stupid."
The king and concubine exchanged questions and answers. Suddenly, they heard Ban Zou sniff. Then he turned his head and raised his hand to quickly wipe his face.
Feng Yu Heng's heart was filled with sorrow. Not so long ago, this was such a proud hidden guard. She had never seen anyone who could be Ban Zou's opponent. With him at her side, no matter where she went, she would feel safe. He would often bicker with her, and from time to time, he would make fun of her. However, Feng Yu Heng knew that Ban Zou truly treated her very well. He truly used all of his heart to protect her. If Ban Zou was not here, she would have already been in danger at Pu Du Temple.
"Ban Zou." She opened her mouth to call out to him: "This time's matter cannot be blamed on you. It was me who hid and did not want to be discovered by others. You do not need to harm yourself, nor do you need to give up your life. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan are the same. Your bodies, hair, and skin were all given to you by your parents. Even if your parents are no longer alive, you should not treat your own lives so lightly. Everyone is equal. Regardless of whether they are monarchs or commoners, as long as they do not violate the law, there should not be anyone in this world who controls the lives of others. I do not care if this kind of theory is applicable in other places. At the very least, if you follow me, this is how it is considered here. Moreover, I treat you and Huang Quan and Wang Chuan as family and not as servants. "
Her words not only caused Ban Zou to be at a loss, it also caused Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua to fall into deep thought.
Everyone was equal?
How could that be possible! This was completely different from what they had been taught since they were young.
This world had to be divided into classes. Otherwise, how could there be royalty? How could there be rich and poor?
Ban Zou did not dare to agree with her words, but his heart was extremely moved. He heavily kowtowed to the ground and said: "Many thanks to master for not killing me."
Feng Yu Heng helplessly sighed. To talk about equality with the aristocrats under the feudal system was truly too difficult.
"Quickly get up." She said to Ban Zou, "I do not have any medicine on hand right now. When we return to the capital, I will personally treat the scar on your face. I will do my best to leave as few traces as possible."
Ban Zou scratched his head and embarrassedly said: "No need. In any case, I almost never appear in front of people. No one looks at me."
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Sooner or later, you will have to find a wife."
Ban Zou's mouth dropped open in shock. Even Xuan Tianming helplessly asked her: "Following you gives me such good treatment?"
She forcefully nodded, "There is, there is. Not only do I have to find a wife, I also have to give her a red packet. That … … "She held her head," Let me eat something first. If I continue to be hungry, I will faint again. "
Xuan Tianming dotingly watched as she wolfed down several bags of food. From time to time, he would give her a mouthful of water and help her wipe the corners of her lips.
Feng Yu Heng did not ask which direction the carriage was heading in. She only remembered that they seemed to have said that they were going back to the capital. As for whether or not they were going back to the capital, she did not care at all. With Xuan Tianming here, no matter where they went, she only needed to follow. She did not need to spend any effort. He could arrange everything properly.
She knew that this was trust. This was peace of mind.
Feng Yu Heng had lost too much of her strength. She ate and slept. In her hazy state, she heard Xuan Tianming say something to Ban Zou, but she could not hear clearly. When she woke up again, she was woken up by the noise outside.
When she opened her eyes, she was still in Xuan Tianming's embrace. The curtain of the carriage was not lifted. There was a person outside shouting loudly at the carriage — — "His Ninth Highness, Bu Cong only wants to ask you one question. Was Mr. Heng really burned to death in Feng Tong County?"
Feng Yu Heng's brows furrowed. Bu Cong?
Xuan Tianming could sense her mood. He did not lower his head, but his fingers accurately stroked the space between her brows and gently loosened the knot. Then, she heard him say to the person outside the carriage: "What you heard is what it is. If you don't believe it, then investigate it yourself. I have no obligation to be your messenger."
The person outside the carriage was furious. He suddenly roared like a wild beast, scaring away the birds and beasts in all directions.
Feng Yu Heng looked at Xuan Tianming in astonishment. She died?
Xuan Tianming gave her a comforting smile. He helped her sit up next to him and said to the person outside: "If you have the time to shout and scream, then personally go to Feng Tong County to take a look. I just came back from there. Tsk tsk, the Feng Family really doesn't care about their second daughter. "
"His Ninth Highness is letting the Feng Family go like this?" Bu Cong did not believe that the dignified Ninth Prince could be so calm after his fiancee was burned to death.
"Whether I let the Feng Family go or not is I's own business. It is not up to you to question. Bu Cong, move aside. If you speak any more nonsense, I will have the cavalry and this carriage step on you. "
"You dare?"
"Hmph!" Xuan Tianming was amused, "Why wouldn't I dare? Also, I want to ask, Royal Consort Yu was killed. Why are you so anxious? Didn't the Bu Family repeatedly say that they want to blame the death of the minister on Royal Consort Yu? What? It's only been a few days and the wind has already changed? "
Bu Cong was rendered speechless by him.
"Enough." Xuan Tianming threw down his last sentence, "I have already pointed out the way for you. How you want to go is your own business. Bai Ze, let's go. "
Outside, Bai Ze agreed. With a flick of his whip, he drove the carriage forward.
She heard a ghostly scream outside. Although the carriage hit the people brought by Bu Cong, she didn't hear Bu Cong say another word.
Feng Yu Heng really wanted to open the curtain of the window to see what Bu Cong looked like, but she felt that it was not good to have Xuan Tianming there. Even if she was anxious, she could only give up.
Xuan Tianhua took the initiative to speak and solved another of her doubts, "On the way, we spread the news that the second daughter of the Feng Family was burned to death in the ancestral home when she returned to her hometown to worship the ancestors."
"Why?" She was puzzled, "I am clearly still alive."
"But other than us, who else knows that you are still alive?" Xuan Tianming winked at her, "Sometimes, you have to fight to survive. Only then can you know what kind of reaction people will make at this time."
Xuan Tianhua continued, "For example, how the Feng Family is going to deal with it. For example, how angry Bu Cong will be, and for example …"
"We have to teach your father a lesson and give him some trouble." Xuan Tianming continued, "In addition, you survived a great disaster. Father Emperor can't not express anything."
Feng Yu Heng curled her lips, "You even included your own father in your calculations."
Xuan Tianming didn't comment, "Why not?"
Feng Yu Heng said, "In fact, the Emperor has already done a lot of things. He gave me the phoenix hairpin and the Hou Yi Bow. Although I understand that this is also his test for me, to see if I have the ability to protect these two things, I believe that I can. I believe that I can protect them, so this is the grace that the Emperor has given me. "
Xuan Tianming nodded, "It is naturally a good thing that you can think like this. Those two things can naturally lead to people with intentions. Just wait and see, the days ahead will become more and more exciting."
Xuan Tianhua watched the two of them talk, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose into a smile. But he frowned with worry, and faintly said, "Bu Cong holds the military power in the east. It seems that the Bu Family is still powerful, but in fact, it is not a good thing. Perhaps, it is the source of the Bu Family's destruction in the future."
