Prince Yu's imperial carriage turned around and headed in the direction of the county princess' manor.
Xuan Tianming was holding his wife who had already fallen asleep in his arms, stroking her hair. At the same time, Ban Zou, who was at his side, recounted everything that had happened in the county princess' manor over the past few days …
Two sticks of incense later, the main gate of the Princess Ji An 'manor was kicked open once again. The Imperial Guard guarding the gate wanted to cry but had no tears. This gate had been partially destroyed by the Emperor's kick, and they had repaired it with great difficulty. Now that the Ninth Prince had kicked it, it was likely that it would be completely destroyed. The leader quickly gave the order: "Go order a new gate. Have the craftsmen work through the night."
After giving the order, they looked into the courtyard and found that His Ninth Highness had already left without a trace.
Xuan Tianming had come to the county princess' manor tonight to find someone, to find Yao shi. Ban Zou had asked around ahead of time. Because Yao Xian had said that today was not a good day to move out, Yao shi was still living in the county princess' manor.
He walked with the wind, and his entire body was surrounded by a murderous aura. As he walked, the grass and trees that were a dozen steps away from him began to sway in the face of the wind. The servants in the county princess' manor who had not been very afraid of him suddenly recalled the legends of the Ninth Prince's bloodthirsty nature that they had almost forgotten.
No one dared to stop him. Even when Xuan Tianming charged into Yao shi's courtyard and whipped open the door to the bedchamber, not a single person dared to make the slightest sound.
The servants all knelt on the ground from the entrance of the manor all the way to the door that had been whipped open. After kneeling, they did not dare to stand up again. Everyone was guessing the same thing: Would the Ninth Prince kill the madam?
In the past few days, there had been some conflict between the madam and the county princess. It seemed that the madam had said some very excessive things to the county princess. Those words would occasionally be overheard by them, and the people who heard them all felt that it was unfair to the county princess. The Ninth Prince doted on the princess so much. Tonight … he must be here to settle accounts with Madam, right?
When Xuan Tianming pulled open the door, Yao shi was embroidering a flower border on Zirui's autumn sleeves. Being frightened by him, the embroidery needle fiercely pierced into her fingertips. The emerald green bamboo was immediately dyed with a layer of blood.
Yao shi had always been a coward. Xuan Tianming's aggressive attitude scared her so much that she slid down from her chair and dropped to her knees. The maidservants beside her also knelt down. None of them dared to breathe too loudly.
The whip was dragged along the ground, and the barbs nearly scared Yao shi to death. The broken door fell straight to the ground and almost hit a servant that happened to be walking past. Yao shi immediately understood. With how she had treated Heng Heng, the Ninth Prince would not let her go.
The room was deathly silent. Xuan Tianming did not speak, and Yao shi and the others did not dare speak. The two sides just looked at each other like this. Yao shi looked at the ground, and Xuan Tianming stared at Yao shi's head.
After an unknown amount of time, the whip on the ground finally moved. Yao shi reflexively dodged backwards, hiding behind Qing Lan. However, the whip that she feared did not land on her body. It did not even swing. Xuan Tianming's arm only moved, pulling the whip up a bit.
Yao shi's face was pale white, as she stared blankly at Xuan Tianming. She felt that the face under the golden mask was already extremely angry. Even if he was wearing a mask, it could not hide the anger that had already seeped out of the gold. Her fear deepened, but she finally heard Xuan Tianming say, "Other than hiding behind someone else, what else can you do?"
Once the topic was brought up, Xuan Tian Ming could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He pointed at Yao shi and began to complain about all of the things that this woman should not have done as a mother, how unfair and how unworthy she was. He said, "Do you know where and when I first met Heng Heng? It was in the mountains of the Northwest. Your daughter had been drugged and thrown into a mass grave in the mountains. If she had not met I, she would have already died. If she had died at that time, I ask you, do you have the ability to settle this debt?
？ Do you have the ability to get revenge for this? If you don't, what right do you have for her to call you mother? Are you doubting her medical skills? She had indeed learned it from her Persian master because she wanted you and your child to have a good life in the future and not die of hunger or illness. Are you doubting her martial arts? This Prince taught her because this Prince has taken a fancy to that girl and is willing to teach her everything this Prince has learned to help her grow. Are you doubting that she is not your daughter? That's right, she is indeed not the Feng Yu Heng of the past. Instead, she is a phoenix that has been reborn. She is a phoenix that is completely disappointed in the Feng family and hates it to the core. She came from the Northwest and was reborn. She wanted to spread her wings and fly back to the capital. She wanted to get revenge for all the pain that had been inflicted on you three. Unfortunately, her mother did not understand. She even helped speak up for the people that had caused her death. Yao shi, exactly how many lives of good fortune have you accumulated to be able to be her mother? And how many lives of good fortune have you accumulated to be able to let her suffer such grievances, yet you still want to speak up for her? "
Xuan Tianming did his best to control his emotions. He desperately resisted the urge to whip her. In the end, he did not even want to look at Yao shi's face that deserved a spanking. He was puzzled. Could it be that Feng Jin Yuan's irritability was contagious? Yao shi had lived with him for many years, yet she had also become infected? Why did he see that damn Feng Jin Yuan's appearance on Yao shi's face?
Half of what he said was true, while the other half was false. He deliberately placed all of the things that Feng Yu Heng did not want to say on his shoulders. He just wanted to let this woman know how difficult it was for her daughter to protect her life.
He took a deep breath. Before he could finish speaking, he had to continue. He told Yao shi- "The Feng family is courting disaster. Heng has cleaned up so much mess for them. Do you think that if it were not for Heng Heng's contributions, based on the fact that someone from Qian Zhou tried to assassinate the Emperor, the Feng family would have been able to escape this disaster so easily? Feng Jin Yuan ruined the entire Feng family. The matriarch's funeral was even paid for by Heng Heng! That coffin that cost six million taels was paid for by Heng Heng. Is that still not enough? What else do you want her to do? Feng Jin Yuan has tried to kill your son and daughter time and time again, and your daughter's heart has softened. Thinking of the relationship between him and her father, she has spared him time and time again. Yao shi, have you ever thought of the assassins that Feng Jin Yuan hired to kill your son and daughter? Calling you madam is a form of respect. If you do not want this respect, then you are no different from the members of the Feng family. You feel that you will not be bullied after returning to the Feng manor, right? I will tell you that it is because your daughter has paved the way ahead of time. Don't think that because I no longer kill people, you will all be fearless. I will tell you that not wanting to kill does not mean that I will not kill. A perfectly fine child living in the imperial daughter's manor that you have used your own merits to obtain; however, you are constantly looked down upon by your own mother. Yao shi, you really are bold! You don't recognize your daughter? That's fine, then listen up clearly for I. Feng Yu Heng is no longer your daughter. She is I's princess and the current Emperor's daughter-in-law. In front of her, you are nothing! You should know your own limits. "
After saying this final sentence, Xuan Tianming did not want to look at this woman one more time. He turned around and left.
Yao shi finally could no longer kneel and sat down on the ground. She wanted to find a maidservant to support her tired and frightened body, but when she raised her arm, she found nothing.
There was no maidservant to support her. Even Qing Lan, who usually took care of her, only knelt and looked at her without moving.
Yao shi saw a trace of alienation in Qing Lan's eyes. Her heart was shocked, and the feeling of being betrayed by everyone rushed over. She could not stop it. But she still stubbornly believed that this was Qing Lan not respecting her as a servant. She even believed that this was all ordered by Feng Yu Heng. She pointed at Qing Lan and shouted: "You are also one of her people, right? She arranged for you to come here! What exactly do you want to do? Do you want my life? "
Qing Lan's tears were about to fall. She grabbed Yao shi's wrist and begged: "Madam, wake up! As long as you are willing to wake up, life will continue like before. How could young miss want your life. She loves you and wants to protect you! Back when madam was poisoned with spirit-altering drug, young miss wanted to get revenge for madam and heavily injured the third prince. After she came back, she did not say anything to you, but did madam know? Because of that matter, she knelt in the palace for a day and a night! Her knees were swollen from kneeling. "
Yao shi listened to Qing Lan's words in a daze. Her expression seemed to change, but she still repeatedly shook her head and said: "But I cannot lie to myself. She is not my daughter. She really is not."
Qing Lan went crazy with anger. If it was not for the fact that the person in front of her was the madam, she really wanted to raise her hand and slap her awake. But in the end, she could not. As a servant, all she could do was try her best to persuade her, but Qing Lan did not understand: "Madam, why do you say that young miss is not your daughter? Does she look different from before? "
Yao shi shook her head, "It's completely the same."
"Then why do you say that she is not!" Qing Lan was speechless. Was there something wrong with this woman's head?
But Yao shi patted her chest and said again and again: "I can feel it! I just can feel it! That is the daughter that I gave birth to after carrying her for ten months. Even the slightest change in her, I can feel it! "
Qing Lan remembered what Xuan Tianming had said before and said to her: "If madam is referring to young miss' personality changing greatly, then His Ninth Highness was right. After experiencing such a tragic fate, it is normal for people to change. On the contrary … … "She looked at Yao shi and gritted her teeth," On the contrary, after coming back from the brink of death, she did not change at all. Madam, a person like you is the strange one. " Qing Lan's expression became cold as she looked at Yao shi. She reminded her one last time: "If you continue to cause trouble like this, then she will no longer be your daughter."
Yao shi was shocked and subconsciously asked: "Then who is she?"
"It's Royal Consort Yu."
Yao shi was a little afraid. If Feng Yu Heng really did not recognize her as a mother, then … … would she really have lost her daughter? "Let me think. Let me think."
Xuan Tianming's imperial carriage continued to move through the streets of the capital, but it was getting further and further away from the imperial daughter's manor. The little girl in his embrace woke up in a daze. She pulled at his sleeve and wiped her face. She then raised her hand to scratch his face.
He helplessly grabbed her small hand and heard Shi Shou ask: "Your highness, are you bringing master back to Imperial Palace Yu?"
Xuan Tianming raised an eyebrow: "What else?"
The girl in his embrace heard this and suddenly began to laugh. She said in a daze: "Alright! Let's go to Imperial Palace Yu and find Xuan Tianming. Only he won't bully me. "
A certain person's nose felt sour as he held the girl in his embrace tighter, "Come with me. I will never let you leave my side again."
