After she finished speaking with Chen Yu, she said to the servant at her side: "Go and report to grandmother. Just say that Heng Heng is not feeling well today and wants to go back early to rest. See her another day."
The servant did not think that Feng Yu Heng would actually refuse the matriarch's invitation. She was immediately stunned. Only after Feng Yu Heng had walked far away did she manage to react and quickly return to report it.
As for Chen Yu, because of what Feng Yu Heng had said, she began to ponder. She could not help but feel a little regretful that she had listened to the third prince and given the earrings to Fen Dai.
At this time in Shu Ya courtyard's hall, the matriarch heard that she had sent someone to call Feng Yu Heng back to discuss some matters, but she had been refused by Feng Yu Heng. She could not help but feel annoyed.
"Nowadays, my words in this manor are becoming less and less important." She sighed, "Each and every one of them has grown wings and found a backer; however, they do not know that the Feng family is their roots. Without their roots, even if they marry into the palace, there will be nobody that will like them."
"Elder madam is right." Granny Zhao agreed while comforting her from the side, "Either way, master will be returning in a month or so. When that time comes, master will naturally make the decision."
"Say, will Jin Yuan blame me when he returns?" She had been worried the entire time about his Highness the fifth prince's marriage proposal, "Although Fen Dai is the daughter of a concubine, a concubine's daughter has her uses. What if Jin Yuan has other plans, would I not have ruined it?"
Granny Zhao also sighed, "But there is nothing that can be done. His Highness the fifth prince's side came suddenly, and we were not prepared. Taking a step back, even if we were prepared, what can we do? No matter what is said, he is still a prince. "
The matriarch knew this reasoning, but she was still worried, "Has Jin Yuan replied to the letter that was sent last time?"
Granny Zhao shook her head, "Not yet. Perhaps it's because the roads are not easy to travel on snowy days, so the return of the letter is slow. "
"It's fine if it's slow. It's fine as long as it can arrive. Go and have someone send another letter. Tell him about what happened today. My heart is still not at ease. I just hope that Jin Yuan can return sooner. "
Granny Zhao complied and went to instruct someone to write a letter to Feng Jin Yuan.
That night, Feng Yu Heng's fever came back. She had no choice but to find a capsule to eat, but an idea came to her mind.
She guarded a pharmacy space and a modern operating theater inside. She had almost everything she wanted. Any random medicine she took out was top-grade in this era.
However, she was the only operator. There was no one to help her when she was sick. Even if she wanted to get an injection or drop the IV drip, no one could help her.
Feng Yu Heng thought that if it really didn't work, he would simply train an assistant. But that person must be absolutely reliable, and not have the slightest trace of betrayal.
However, this was just a beautiful idea. How could it be so easy to cultivate a modern talent in this era? In addition to loyalty, one must have a strong ability to comprehend and be proficient in medicine. Adults couldn't do it. Adults' thoughts were already formed, and it was very difficult to replan them. Children who were too young also couldn't do it. If they were too young, their comprehension would be too weak, and they wouldn't be able to learn anything even after a few years of teaching.
Feng Yu Heng felt that modern medicine in this era was practically a fantasy.
But even if it was this difficult, this idea was still deeply rooted in her heart. It was such that in the days to come, she would constantly search for a suitable candidate.
Perhaps it was because he heard movement in the room, but Huang Quan, who had been standing guard outside, pushed open the door and entered. He saw that Feng Yu Heng had already gotten up and was sitting at the table. He could not help but go forward and ask: "Young miss, are you feeling unwell again? Why did you get up in the middle of the night? "
She waved her hand, "I have already taken my medicine. It's fine. I was just thinking about some things and became sleepy."
"Young miss, what are you thinking about? This servant will help you think about it! "Either way, standing guard outside was boring.
"There really is something that I need you to do." Feng Yu Heng looked at Huang Quan and said: "You need to help me get a map of Dashun. I need a detailed map of all of the provinces. Is that difficult?"
Huang Quan was slightly stunned, "What does young miss need a map for? That is something that is only used when leading troops into battle. But it's not difficult. His Ninth Highness has a ready-made map. This servant will ask His Highness for one tomorrow. "
Hearing her say this, Feng Yu Heng felt relieved.
She always wanted to see what the topography of Dashun looked like. She wanted to compare it with the twenty-first century and see where it was similar and where it was different. She had asked Wang Chuan and Qing Yu to open a Hundred Herb Hall in Xiao Province. The next step would be to expand to other provinces, including her fief in Ji 'an County. Feng Yu Heng had long planned to turn that place into her medical headquarters. Whether it was the storage of medicine or the cultivation of talents, they could all be carried out there in the future.
There was also Gan Province. Ever since Xuan Tianming told her that it was the Third Prince's nest, Feng Yu Heng was very interested in that place.
If she could gain a foothold in Gan Province without anyone noticing, then she would have truly infiltrated the enemy.
In short, it was time for her to implement her plan to rely on the medical system to establish an intelligence network.
The next morning, before Feng Yu Heng could get up, Chen Yu arrived with Yi Lin.
Huang Quan helped her get dressed while muttering: "Asking for help, yet coming so early. She really does not have the ability to see clearly."
Feng Yu Heng, however, did not think this way, "Someone came to deliver money. How can you complain that she came early? Not to mention coming in the morning, even if she came in the middle of the night, as long as she placed the three million taels in front of me, I would immediately get to work. "
Huang Quan facepalmed, "Young miss, are you that lacking in money?"
"Yes." She nodded seriously, "Also, this three million is far from enough."
"Three million is still not enough? Adding on the previous one, it's a total of five million. Oh right, you also lent Prime minister Feng one million taels. Then four million is not a small amount! "Huang Quan clicked his tongue. What was his young miss doing? She actually wanted so much money. Was she colluding with the enemy and committing treason?
"It's too little! It's very little. "Feng Yu Heng sighed and stood up," Let's go. Let's go get the money. "
Feng Yu Heng handed over the three million taels in banknotes, and Feng Yu Heng directly led her into the medicine storage room.
Huang Quan personally stood guard outside. Chief Yi Lin wanted to peek in through the crack in the door, but she found that the inside of the door was blocked by a thick curtain, so she could not see anything.
"It would be best if you were a little more obedient; otherwise, I will call all of Tong Sheng pavilion's servants to stand guard outside. We will let the servants know that the Feng family's eldest young miss is inside."
"No need, no need!" Yi Lin repeatedly waved her hand in fear, "Don't call. Don't call anyone. I won't look, alright?" The servant angrily stomped her foot. She could only stand guard with Huang Quan.
Huang Quan smirked and thought to himself, sure enough, she had a guilty conscience. She was afraid that others would find out about this sort of illness. If she had the ability, she would not have done such a thing!
Four hours later, Feng Yu Heng brought Chen Yu out of the medicine storage room.
Yi Lin quickly went over to support Chen Yu. Seeing that her complexion was not very good, she could not help but ask with concern: "Young miss, are you alright?"
Chen Yu shook her head and tugged at Yi Lin's sleeve, saying: "Let's quickly leave." As she said this, she began to walk away. It was as though Tong Sheng pavilion was a ghost town, as she left as though she was fleeing.
Huang Quan was puzzled and asked: "What are you doing? Young miss, what did you do to her? "
Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "Not only did I not do anything to her, but I really did treat her. But you should understand that there are some people who are most adept at burning bridges after crossing the river. Inside, she asked me thousands of times to confirm whether or not she was truly fine. It was for the sake of quickly leaving this troublesome place after coming out. When she returned, she could use this time to think about how to completely get rid of me and seal her mouth. "
Huang Quan nearly laughed, "Completely get rid of young miss? With just her? " But he still worriedly asked: "Since young miss clearly knew that she was harboring evil intentions, why did you still treat her illness?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Because there are some people and matters that require this beautiful eldest sister to act as a primer to lure the snake out of its hole. She must be the middleman."
"But to just treat her like this, isn't that letting her off too easily?"
"Is it too easily? Haha! " Feng Yu Heng bent over with laughter, "Treating her does not mean she will have nothing to fear. Does she want to erase everything? She's dreaming! "
Feng Chen Yu brought Yi Lin out of Tong Sheng pavilion. Sneaking the entire way, she took a small path back to her own courtyard like a thief. Only after she entered her room and closed the door did she let out a sigh of relief.
She was truly afraid that she would run into Feng Fen Dai or Han shi along the way. That sort of person could stir up three waves without any wind. Seeing her pale complexion, who knew what sort of trouble they would cause. Even if they did not suspect anything else, just standing there and mocking her would be enough for her to suffer!
Yi Lin saw that her complexion was not good and quickly helped her to lie down in bed. At the same time, she asked: "Young miss, do you want to immediately arrange for a granny to enter the manor?"
Chen Yu shook her head, "She said that the wound has not yet completely healed. She will only be able to walk around after three days. For the next few days, just tell the outside world that the weather has been too cold, and I have caught a cold. I will not be going to pay respects to the matriarch. After three days, bring the granny into the manor. Remember, it must be done quietly. You absolutely must not let anyone find out. "
Yi Lin covered her with a blanket while nodding, "Don't worry. Third master's hidden guard said that he would personally send her over. Thinking about it, it should be at night. Young miss, just catch up on some sleep during the day."
Chen Yu nodded and did not say anything else. Lying in bed, she fell asleep not long after.
Three days later, at midnight, Chen Yu anxiously sat next to her bed, waiting for Chen Wan Liang's hidden guard to arrive.
Yi Lin had opened the back window a crack early in the morning. At this moment, she was standing next to the window and listening.
Not long later, she saw a black shadow flash in. Yi Lin's eyes blurred, as she saw a person in black standing in the middle of the room with an old woman.
She was given a fright and quickly ran over. Seeing that the person who had come was the familiar hidden guard, she let out a sigh of relief. But when she looked again at the granny, she found that she was unconscious and had been brought in by the hidden guard. She could not help but be startled: "Is this person alive or dead?"
Chen Yu stood up from the bed, "Of course she is alive. I think that her acupuncture points should have been sealed by this elder brother, right?"
When she spoke, her eyes darted around, but the hidden guard did not even look at her. This caused Chen Yu to feel a little gloomy.
"Alright, let's have the granny wake up first." Her expression sank as she gave the order.
The secret guard stretched out his hand and unsealed the mammy's acupoints. The mammy woke up with a start. Looking at the person in front of her, she asked tentatively, "Is this the girl who needs to be examined?"
The hidden guard nodded, "That's her. I will wait outside. When you are done, I will pay for the banknotes."
"Good." The granny was quite nimble. Seeing that the hidden guard had already left, she turned around and sized up Chen Yu.
This glance was fine, but it truly gave her a fright. She could not help but say: "This old servant has served in the palace for half my life and has seen the imperial concubines all day long. Normally speaking, the women that can enter the palace are all one-in-a-million beauties; however, I have never seen one that could be more beautiful than this young miss. "
The matriarch's eyes were very sharp. Once she said this, she already had an understanding.
Apparently, the eldest daughter of prime minister Feng's manor was a beauty that could cause the downfall of a country. To say that she was the most beautiful woman in the capital was a bit of a waste. In all of Dashun, perhaps there was not a second person that could compare to her.
As for the one before her, it was most likely that she was.
