When Feng Yu Heng shouted, "Who's outside?", the first person to react was Wang Chuan. She spun like the wind and arrived at the door in the blink of an eye. She pulled the door open with one hand and put the other hand under the person's neck.
The person outside trembled in fear and quickly shouted, "Sister Wang Chuan! It's me! "
Wang Chuan looked carefully and saw that it was Qing Shuang. Only then did he withdraw his hand.
Qing Shuang was so frightened that her face turned pale. When she saw Wang Chuan let go of her hand, she let out a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death! Sister Wang Chuan, I guessed that Miss would be hungry at night, so I stewed some soup and brought it over. I was wondering if I should come in if Miss didn't wake up. "
Wang Chuan turned sideways, "I was wondering who would sneak into the door in the middle of the night. Come in, Miss is awake."
Qing Shuang entered the room and placed the bowl of soup in front of Feng Yu Heng, "Miss hasn't eaten anything since noon. Now that it's late, she can't eat much. Just have some soup to fill her stomach."
"Okay." Feng Yu Heng didn't say anything and just nodded. Qing Shuang didn't stay any longer. She put down the bowl and left.
Even after Qing Shuang left, Feng Yu Heng still had a thoughtful look on her face. Wang Chuan could see what she was thinking and could not help but say: "Qing Shuang has been in the manor for quite some time. Inside and outside of Tong Sheng pavilion, everything has been taken care of by her. There has never been a mistake. Is young miss being too nervous?"
"Is that so?" Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I hope I'm too nervous, but you see …" She said and pointed to the bowl of soup on the table.
Wang Chuan was shocked, "Is there a problem with the soup?"
"No." She said: "The soup is good soup, but Wang Chuan, we are all people who practice martial arts. We all know how much of a shock it must have been for you to use your martial arts to strangle her. After suffering such a huge shock, she was still able to hold the bowl of soup steadily without spilling a single drop. Tell me, am I too nervous? "
After hearing what Feng Yu Heng said, Wang Chuan also felt that something was wrong. Just now, Qing Shuang's face had turned pale, but her hands were still steady. This was not something an ordinary girl could have.
"This servant will chase after her and bring her back!" Wang Chuan frowned and turned to leave, but was stopped by Feng Yu Heng.
"Wait." She stopped Wang Chuan. "There's no rush. Let's see what she's trying to achieve by sneaking into our courtyard."
Wang Chuan stopped and thought about it. He was still worried. "I'll keep watch for Miss tonight."
"You still have to prepare to go to Xiao Zhou tomorrow. If you are really worried, just call Huang Quan over."
That night, Huang Quan kept watch outside Feng Yu Heng's bedroom the entire time, but the person inside did not sleep much.
Feng Yu Heng was thinking, if there really was a problem with Qing Shuang, where did the problem come from? Who did she belong to? And when did she begin to serve her master? Was it before she entered the manor or after she entered the manor?
She really hoped that it was after she entered the manor. After all, the people that she could interact with in Tong Sheng pavilion were mostly people from the Feng family. She was not afraid of the Feng family. What was scary was that it was before she entered the manor. That meant that Qing Yu had already been targeted when she was choosing her maidservants. To have such a long battle line and to have put in so much effort made her feel flattered.
The next day at noon, Feng Yu Heng went to pay respects to the matriarch. When she arrived, Chen Yu was personally pouring tea for the matriarch.
Seeing her arrive, the matriarch subconsciously sat up a little straighter. She was a little nervous, but she did not know what exactly she was nervous about.
Feng Yu Heng stepped forward and bowed: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother."
"Heng has come." The matriarch looked at her and wanted to smile, but she was unable to, "Quickly sit."
"I won't be sitting." Feng Yu Heng, however, gave her a faint smile, "A-Heng first came to pay respects to grandmother. Second, I came to tell grandmother that A-Heng will be going into the palace to ask for forgiveness from father Emperor after noon."
The matriarch's heart had been in suspense since yesterday. Hearing that Feng Yu Heng would be entering the palace today, she became even more nervous "Nothing will happen when you enter the palace, right?"
Feng Yu Heng blinked, "What does grandmother think will happen?"
"This …" The matriarch could not say, but there were some things that could not be asked. Her heart would always be filled with panic, "You were unable to treat his Highness Prince Yu's legs. Will the Emperor blame you?"
Feng Yu Heng asked back: "So what if he blames me, and so what if he doesn't? Is grandmother worried about Heng, or is grandmother worried about the Feng family? "
The matriarch was blocked by her and did not know how to answer. It was granny Zhao who spoke up for her: "The matriarch is worried about the second young miss. After all, the second young miss will be living with His Ninth Highness for the rest of her life."
Granny Zhao avoided the important points and talked about Feng Yu Heng's personal happiness. The matriarch nodded repeatedly, "That's right." After thinking for a bit, she said: "After entering the palace and seeing the Emperor, you need to speak properly. If you can be gentle, be gentle. If the Emperor cares about His Ninth Highness's legs very much, don't speak too firmly. Next time, if there is a chance, you can treat it properly. If not … … if not, send a letter to Huang Zhou and ask Imperial Physician Yao if he has any good ideas. In short, Heng Heng, you need to remember that you are now the Feng family's daughter of the first wife. You and the Feng family are bound together for good or ill! "
"Heng Heng understands." She did not say anything else. The matriarch had already made things very clear. The Feng family could not fall, and it could not be affected because of her and the Ninth Prince's matters.
After Feng Yu Heng left Shu Ya courtyard, the matriarch's heart was constantly on edge. No matter how many comforting words Chen Yu said, they were of no use.
When Xiang Rong came to pay her respects, the matriarch suddenly recalled the palace banquet. The seventh prince had sent someone to deliver a set of clothes to Xiang Rong. She did not think much of it and actually said to Xiang Rong: "In a moment, when your second sister enters the palace, you should also leave the manor. Go to Chun Palace and ask his Highness the seventh prince about it."
Xiang Rong was stunned, "What does grandmother want to ask about?"
"Of course, it's to ask if anything will happen to your second sister when she enters the palace!" The matriarch sighed heavily, "She is entering the palace to ask for forgiveness. If the Emperor becomes angry and punishes her, it is possible that our manor will also suffer. You are more familiar with his Highness the seventh prince. In any case, you should go and ask. We can also make preparations. "
Xiang Rong was a little troubled. How could she be considered familiar with Xuan Tianhua. Last time, he had sent her a set of clothes. In truth, it was her second sister who ordered it to be sent. Xuan Tianhua was just helping out. Now that the matriarch wanted her to go to Chun Palace, she really did not have any guarantee that they would see her.
Seeing Xiang Rong hesitate, Chen Yu was a little anxious. Looking at the matriarch, she tried to speak: "How about … Chen Yu go."
The matriarch glanced at her, "What are you going to do?"
"Chen Yu is also acquainted with his Highness the seventh prince!" She looked at the matriarch expectantly, "How about Chen Yu go with third sister. That way, I can ask more carefully."
The matriarch snorted and waved her hand, "No need. Xiang Rong alone is enough. You should just obediently stay at home. Don't go out too much."
These words sealed Chen Yu's feelings of love, but it also caused Xiang Rong, a child who had always been timid and kept a low profile, to announce her name in her heart. Her hatred for Feng Yu Heng quietly shifted towards Xiang Rong. When she looked at Xiang Rong again, her gaze actually carried a trace of viciousness.
"Quickly go tidy up and change your clothes. When you go, you need to ask carefully. His Highness the seventh prince has always been close to His Ninth Highness. He will definitely know some information. "
Xiang Rong was urged to leave Shu Ya courtyard by the matriarch. Returning to inform An shi, she changed her clothes. Only then did she quickly leave the manor and head towards Chun Palace.
When she came out, Feng Yu Heng had only left for a short while. Xiang Rong did not know what exactly would happen when Feng Yu Heng entered the palace, but the matriarch's worries also affected her. She kept feeling that something would happen, but as for what exactly would happen, she could not say.
The carriage stopped in front of Chun Palace. Xiang Rong got out of the carriage and raised her head to look at the three words "Chun Palace" written on the signboard. Her heart could not help but tremble a little.
She had fantasized about this palace before, including the person living in the palace. Every time she saw him, she would not know what to do. She did not even dare to raise her head. That person was clearly like a spring breeze and was kind to others, but he was still able to evoke her nervousness.
For example, she was already standing in front of the palace's gates, but she did not have the courage to take another step forward. Just like this, she stood in front of the gates for a long time. When the gates opened, a person who looked like a male servant was about to leave the palace. Seeing her, he went forward and asked in confusion: "Which family's young miss are you? Why are you standing in front of our palace's gates? "
Xiang Rong calmed herself down then said: "I am the Feng family's third young miss. I want … to request an audience with his Highness Prince Chun."
"Feng family's third young miss?" The male servant pondered for a while, "Prime minister Feng's family?"
"Un."
"Then please wait a moment. This lowly one will go in and report. But whether or not his Highness will see you, that is uncertain. "After the male servant finished speaking, he turned around and ran back inside.
Fortunately, she did not have to wait for too long. Very quickly, a granny came out and saluted to Xiang Rong: "Greetings to third young miss. His Highness is currently in the palace. Would third young miss please come in with this old servant. "
Xiang Rong quickly returned the salute: "Granny is too courteous. Xiang Rong should be greeting you."
The granny smiled then looked at Xiang Rong. She could not help but nod. She had heard long ago that the Feng family had four young misses. The eldest young miss was extremely beautiful, the second young miss was both intelligent and brave, the third young miss was weak and pitiful, and the fourth young miss was unruly and straightforward. She knew about the second young miss. Looking at it now, this third young miss could indeed be considered a weak and pitiful person. She was also very polite.
This was Xiang Rong's first time entering the Chun Palace. Although she really wanted to take a good look, she could not raise her head no matter what. She could only follow the granny inside. Sometimes she went straight, sometimes she turned, sometimes she went around a small pond, sometimes she went through a small forest. When she finally stopped, Xiang Rong felt that if she had to go back the way she came, she would definitely get lost.
"Third young miss, please wait here. His Highness will arrive very quickly." The granny left Xiang Rong in a guest hall and ordered a servant to prepare tea. After that, she left.
Only then did Xiang Rong let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the cup of tea that the servant brought over, it was held in a white jade cup. In the cup, there was a water lotus resting quietly. Just like Xuan Tianhua, his heart was calm and his mind was also calm.
But Xiang Rong could not calm down. At this very moment, her mind was filled with one thought. I have arrived at his Highness the seventh prince's home.
But what could she do?
An Shi's words were still ringing in her ears. She knew that there were some things that she could not even think about. Some roads, as long as she took one step, it was possible that she would end up in an endless hell. She did not have the courage and did not have the fortune.
"Why did third young miss come?" While she was thinking, a voice floated into her ears. Like a gust of spring wind, it instantly dispelled the chill of winter.
