Feng Yu Heng never used her identity token to enter the palace. She only relied on her face. However, she had only ever entered the inner palace through a side door. Today, it was her first time going to the main entrance.
The guards at the main entrance were a bit troubled. Normally speaking, people without an identity token could not enter the palace through the Deyang Gate, let alone a woman.
However, Feng Yu Heng said: "I am looking for father Emperor to discuss the matter of producing steel. Although it was a bit rushed and I did not report it beforehand, producing steel is an important matter. Father Emperor already said that I could enter the palace at any time to discuss it with him."
These words caused the guards at the Deyang Gate to recall that the emperor seemed to have said something like this. After all, the matter of producing steel was too important. Regardless of whether or not county princess Ji An had an identity token, she was the only person in the world that knew how to produce steel. This was something that everyone knew.
Thus, they did not stop her and immediately let her pass.
Feng Yu Heng, however, did not immediately enter. Instead, she looked at Qing Yu and Huang Quan. Thinking a bit, she said: "You two should go back. I don't know how long I will kneel, and I don't know what will happen. Wang Chuan's injuries have not completely healed. If something happens to Huang Quan, there won't be anyone to take care of the family. "
Qing Yu immediately said: "That's right. Older sister Huang Quan should go back first. Preserving your strength is most important. I will stay here to accompany young miss."
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "You should also go back."
"Ah?"
"Ah what? The family is important, but could it be that the business outside is not important? " She very seriously told Qing Yu: "Your family's young miss is very poor. You must keep a close eye on the business outside. Not a single cent less is allowed."
Qing Yu stomped her foot: "Young miss, at a time like this, you still have the heart to joke around."
"I'm not joking." She sternly said: "No matter what the result of my trip into the palace is, we cannot mess up. The business needs to be done, and the family needs to be taken care of. There are many people in the manor, but there aren't many that can be trusted. This time, you all saw what happened with Mei Xiang. What exactly is there in the Feng manor that makes people feel at ease? "
The two knew that what she said was reasonable, but how could they let her go in alone? Huang Quan said: "Shadow guards can't enter the palace. It would be better to let Ban Zou go back. With him and Wang Chuan, in addition to the shadow guards sent by the two princes, there will definitely be enough people. This servant will accompany Miss inside. If something happens … "She thought for a moment and said," Didn't His Highness the Seventh Prince say that we can go find Consort Yun? Therefore, Miss can't leave someone by her side. Otherwise, she won't even have a messenger. "
What Huang Quan said made sense, but Feng Yu Heng had already made up her mind. It was impossible to change it. She quickly walked towards the palace gates and at the same time said to the guard: "This county princess will go in alone. The two behind me are not allowed to follow."
With these words, the guard immediately used his spear to block them, stopping Huang Quan and Qing Yu outside the palace.
The two truly did not have any temper. They stood in place and watched for a while until Feng Yu Heng gradually walked further away and could no longer be seen. Only then did they reluctantly return to the carriage.
Huang Quan was the one driving the carriage. After driving the carriage out of the imperial palace, she stopped and shouted: "Ban Zou!"
That person appeared from who knows where and immediately sat down next to her, "Letting her go into the palace alone like this, if something happens, let's see how His Highness will deal with you."
Of course, Huang Quan knew that if something happened to Feng Yu Heng, she would not be able to escape responsibility. She could not be bothered to argue with Ban Zou and anxiously said: "His Highness the Seventh Prince said that he sent people to the military camp to find His Highness. You should also go over there to welcome him! After all, his Highness the Seventh Prince's people do not know much about the situation in front of the Xiang Palace. If you go, you can tell His Highness more. "
Ban Zou immediately nodded and sternly said: "Alright, I will go now. After you go back, don't just wait in the manor. Send people to stand guard at the palace gates. Once there is news, there will be many people to pass on the message." After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and flew away.
Huang Quan also spurred the horse, and the carriage quickly headed in the direction of the Feng manor.
After Feng Yu Heng entered the palace, she headed straight for Heavenly Hall. She had already heard that the Emperor was currently in Heavenly Hall discussing matters with the military. The eunuch leading the way told her: "Although His Highness has said that no one is allowed to disturb him, county princess is different. You are going to produce steel for our Dashun. Producing steel is an important matter. His Highness will see you no matter what. "
Feng Yu Heng vaguely nodded, but her heart felt a bit weak. Producing steel, what producing steel. She had come to kneel in the palace.
Finally, the two arrived at the square in front of Heavenly Hall. Just as they were walking towards the palace gates, they saw the Emperor's personal eunuch, Zhang Yuan, jogging over.
Feng Yu Heng stopped and Zhang Yuan immediately saluted: "This servant greets county princess."
She quickly reached out and helped him up: "Eunuch Zhang does not need to be so polite. Is Father Emperor in Heavenly Hall?"
Zhang Yuan nodded, "Replying county princess, he is. His Highness is currently discussing matters with the military officials. General Ping Nan is also present. "
The eunuch that had led Feng Yu Heng here saw Zhang Yuan and very politely said: "County princess has come to see His Highness."
Zhang Yuan was a bit troubled: "I will not hide it from county princess. His Highness said before that during the discussion, he will not see anyone. Before, people from the Xiang Palace came, but His Highness did not see them. Oh, right. "He suddenly thought of something," Prime minister Feng also sent people, but unfortunately, they did not see His Highness. "
The meaning was clear. His Highness did not see them, please go back.
But how could Feng Yu Heng be willing to go back. The eunuch that had led the way quickly spoke up for her: "County princess has something to do with producing steel and wants to see His Highness."
"Oh!" Zhang Yuan was stunned, "Then this is a big matter and cannot be delayed. County princess, please wait here for a moment. This servant will go in and report. His Highness has been talking about producing steel every day. No matter how busy he is, he will see you. "
Zhang Yuan wanted to leave as he spoke, but he was stopped by Feng Yu Heng: "Wait." She was a bit helpless. Seeing that Zhang Yuan was looking at her in a daze, she did not say anything else. Lifting her robe, she directly kneeled in front of Heavenly Hall's gates.
This gave Zhang Yuan a fright. The eunuch that had led the way was also stunned. He then heard Zhang Yuan say: "County princess, what are you doing? If you want to see His Highness, this servant will go and report. There is no need to kneel like this … … "The more he spoke, the more he could not continue. Earlier, he had been busy making small talk and did not carefully look at Feng Yu Heng. Now that he looked again, his heart skipped a beat.
That's not right! Why did county princess Ji 'an's robe have blood on it? Sniffing hard, the smell of blood was still very strong. What exactly did this county princess do before?
Zhang Yuan's confusion was completely seen by Feng Yu Heng, and it allowed her to know that news of what had happened in front of the Xiang Palace had not yet reached the palace, or it could be said that it had not yet spread throughout the palace. But as for whether or not Emperor Tianwu knew, that was hard to say. After all, the Emperor had many spies and many hidden guards. Perhaps he already had an idea and was waiting for her to deliver herself to his door.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng could not bring up the matter of steel production. She could only say to Zhang Yuan: "I made a few mistakes and came to ask for forgiveness from Father Emperor. Eunuch Zhang, there is no need to report. You go about your business and I will kneel. Just treat it as if I did not come."
Although Zhang Yuan was surprised, he did not have a strong reaction. After all, there were many people that came to kneel in front of Heavenly Hall every day. The imperial concubines in the inner palace would also come here when they had nothing to do. He had seen this many times a year and had long become accustomed to it.
But the eunuch that led the way was frightened. He had thought that Feng Yu Heng was a noble person and that he would be rewarded for leading the way. But he did not think that the person he brought in would make a mistake and come to kneel in the palace. His legs trembled as he looked at Zhang Yuan for help. Seeing Zhang Yuan wave his hand at him, he did not say anything else and ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Only Zhang Yuan was left looking at Feng Yu Heng. He could not hold back his curiosity and could not help but ask: "County princess, what happened to you?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "I fought with someone."
A drop of cold sweat fell from Zhang Yuan's head, "With who?"
"The third prince."
"The third … …" Zhang Yuan almost bit his own tongue. He quickly looked at the girl in front of him and then anxiously asked: "Where is county princess hurt?" There was so much blood on her body, she must have been injured. He stomped his foot — — "Aiya! County princess, you are really muddle-headed! That third prince has been practicing martial arts since he was young. He also practices the martial arts of large sects and has been personally taught by the heads of several sects. He is very powerful. This servant will say something that shouldn't be said. The third prince is ruthless. How could you gain any advantage by fighting with him! Right now is the crucial time for making steel. The emperor specifically ordered that you must not be in any danger. You … … "He spoke here and then stopped. After thinking about it, he said," That's not right! The third prince knows how important you are to Dashun. How could he dare to hurt county princess? "
Feng Yu Heng helplessly looked at Zhang Yuan and said: "He didn't hurt me."
Zhang Yuan was stunned and then looked at the blood on Feng Yu Heng's robe. He could not help but say: "Then this is … …"
"The blood is his."
"What?" Zhang Yuan let out an "oh" sound in shock. He then quickly covered his mouth. After a long time, he asked in disbelief: "County princess means to say that his Highness the third prince was injured?" He then seemed to have understood something and nodded, saying: "It seems that his Highness understands that he absolutely must not hurt county princess."
Feng Yu Heng, however, shook her head, "How could that be. He and I signed a life and death agreement. This fight was a fight to the death. Eunuch Zhang, did you know that he even pulled out the sword at his waist. It scared me to death. "She looked at Zhang Yuan with a frightened expression, as her body trembled very cooperatively.
Zhang Yuan, however, felt as though he had seen the entire process of the fight. The third prince pressed forward step by step, and Feng Yu Heng barely managed to dodge. It was truly thrilling.
While he was shocked, he looked in the direction that Feng Yu Heng had come from. He wanted to see if Xuan Tian Ye had come with her. The two had fought, so why had county princess Ji An come alone to ask for forgiveness? Shouldn't both of them have come?
But no matter how he looked, he could not find Xuan Tian Ye's figure.
He did not understand once more: "County princess, if you fought, then you fought. Why did you come here to kneel?"
Feng Yu Heng replied: "Naturally, I fought fiercely. I had no choice but to ask for forgiveness."
Zhang Yuan was still wondering what she meant by 'fought fiercely'. At this time, a person that looked like a guard rushed over. Seeing Zhang Yuan, he nodded. He then looked at Feng Yu Heng and could not help but frown.
Zhang Yuan could see that this person seemed to know something and quickly pulled him to the side, quietly asking: "You came to report. Is it related to the matter between his Highness the third prince and county princess Ji An?"
That person nodded then leaned close to Zhang Yuan's ear and whispered a few words. The more Zhang Yuan listened, the more shocked he became. By the end, he could not close his mouth. With a "crack" sound, his jaw dropped …
