Xuan Tianming had always known that once Feng Yu Heng made a decision, there was no possibility of her taking it back. No one could change her mind, not even him.
Just like when he proposed to go with her, this girl had a hundred reasons: "Xuan Tianming, that won't do. Your face is too recognizable. Even if you take off your mask, the purple lotus on your forehead is still the best symbol of your identity. You can't just take it off, right? How painful would that be! "
He wanted to say that the crux of the problem was not "pain," alright? However, she had not finished speaking her reasons: "My entry into the North is a secret operation. It is impossible for anyone to find out. That's why you need to stay with the army and act as if you are leading the army with me." Speaking to this point, she paused and thought for a while before saying: "Is there anyone who can be my substitute?"
"Hm?" Xuan Tianming was startled then immediately understood what she meant. Thinking a little, he said: "Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, leave one behind. I will send more hidden guards to protect you."
"That won't do." Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "The two of them are a few years older than me. They are quite a bit taller. It will be very easy for them to be exposed."
"Then don't go." Xuan Tianming replied very frankly, "If there is no one to replace you, what is the point of going. You will be exposed."
Because of this topic, the two did not sleep for an entire night. They argued from the middle of the night until the morning. Even after Wang Chuan and Huang Quan entered the room, the two were still arguing.
Wang Chuan listened for a while and finally understood what was going on. He did not stop Feng Yu Heng from going to the North. Instead, he pondered for a while then said: "The Feng family's third young miss is about the same size as young miss. She also looks about 50 to 60 percent similar to young miss. Perhaps … … she can do it."
Feng Yu Heng was startled, "Xiang Rong?" She then shook her head, "No, it's too dangerous."
Xuan Tianming didn't think much of it. "We've been traveling within Dashun's borders all this way. Apart from the fact that it's a little tiring, there's no danger at all."
Huang Quan also said, "That's a good idea. After we set up camp in the North Land, we'll send the Third Miss back quietly. No one will know. Miss, it's fine."
Feng Yu Heng thought for a while and asked with uncertainty, "Is it really okay? If something happens to Xiang Rong, I will have no way of explaining myself to concubine mother An! "
Xuan Tianming was helpless. "If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Old Master Yao. We're leaving the day after tomorrow. If you really want to leave, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. "
With the situation being forced to this point, Feng Yu Heng did not have much time to think. She gritted her teeth, "Forget it, Xiang Rong it is." She then ordered Wang Chuan: "Go back and bring Xiang Rong over. Also, you need to think of a way to settle concubine mother An. "
Wang Chuan nodded, "Young Miss, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, just say that you went out to fight. Consort Yun is feeling bored by being alone in the palace and wants to bring the Third Miss into the palace to live for a while."
Feng Yu Heng felt that this idea was very good. Of course, nobody thought that their Consort Yun was currently sitting in Xuan Tianhua's carriage heading East. She was currently sitting with her legs crossed and eating melon seeds. From time to time, she would comment on Xuan Tianhua's attire.
Of course, nobody thought that the person that Wang Chuan brought back after leaving for two days was not Feng Xiang Rong. Instead, it was Bai Fu Rong.
When she saw Bai Fu Rong, Feng Yu Heng was stunned. She looked at Wang Chuan in confusion. Wang Chuan said rather helplessly: "When this servant returned, the Third Miss was shopping with the Bai family's Young Miss. This servant said that Young Miss missed the Third Miss very much and invited her to the military camp. Who knew that the Third Miss would be so happy … … that she would sprain her ankle. "
Bai Fu Rong also said: "Heng, it's all my fault for not looking after Xiang Rong. She fell straight down such a high step. We sent her directly to Hundred Herb Hall, but the doctor at Hundred Herb Hall said that her injury was a little serious. She will not be able to walk for at least a hundred days. "
Wang Chuan nodded, "It's like that."
Bai Fu Rong then scratched her head and asked in confusion: "But … … Heng, what did your servant bring me here for?"
Feng Yu Heng also looked at Wang Chuan, as the same question appeared in her mind.
Wang Chuan pointed at Bai Fu Rong then gestured at her height. Feng Yu Heng immediately understood, but Xiang Rong was Xiang Rong. Fu Rong was Fu Rong. It was fine if she used her own family, but using Bai Fu Rong, what could she do?
Everyone stood there in a daze. Bai Fu Rong, however, understood a bit and asked Feng Yu Heng: "Could it be that there is something you need my help with? Heng! "She suddenly slapped Feng Yu Heng's shoulder," What sort of relationship do we have? Is there a need to be so hesitant? Speak! No matter what it is, as long as you say it, I, Bai Fu Rong, will go through fire and water without hesitation! "
"Really?" She looked seriously at Bai Fu Rong, "This matter really is a little dangerous. Are you certain that you will not hesitate?"
The corners of Bai Fu Rong's mouth twitched, "Heng, you wouldn't really want me to die, right?"
"It's not to that extent, it's just …" Feng Yu Heng hooked her arm around Bai Fu Rong's shoulder, "It's just that you will need to leave the capital for a while and suffer a little bit."
"Just like that?" Bai Fu Rong looked at Feng Yu Heng with a strange expression, "You've been troubled over such a small matter for so long? I say, Heng, this is not like you! It's not like you don't know what sort of personality I, Bai Fu Rong, have. I'm not some rich young miss. My father is just a craftsman. I've experienced plenty of hardships growing up. Also, leaving the capital is good! You're not in the capital, and Tian Ge is locked up in the manor by the princess every day to learn some female rules. I'm about to suffocate to death. Just say it, where do you want me to go? "
Feng Yu Heng looked at her and said: "The North."
"Pft" Bai Fu Rong nearly choked to death on her own saliva, "The North?" Her voice trembled, "Heng, you wouldn't really want me to go and die, right?"
"How could that be possible!" Feng Yu Heng hooked her arm around Bai Fu Rong's neck. While leading her into her tent, she began to tell her about the plan for this trip.
Wang Chuan finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Huang Quan: "You don't know this, but third young miss sprained her ankle and gave me a terrible fright. It looked like a good plan was about to be put on hold. Fortunately, the Bai family's young miss came to the rescue. "
Huang Quan also said: "That's right. The Bai family's young miss is about the same size as our young miss. Although there's a bit of a difference in looks, the weather is getting cold. With a few more layers on her head, it wouldn't be too obvious."
"Hah." Wang Chuan helplessly said: "The Bai family's young miss has a lively personality and is quite strong. She only managed to squeeze third young miss a little, and third young miss fell down the stairs. It really was a coincidence."
She said this while following Feng Yu Heng's footsteps. She then heard Huang Quan mutter from behind: "This is too much of a coincidence."
Wang Chuan's mind suddenly seemed to have thought of something; however, he was unable to grasp what it was.
The matter of Bai Fu Rong replacing Feng Yu Heng to go with Xuan Tianming had already been decided, but this matter was kept secret. Aside from the two deputy generals, Xi Fang and He Gan, as well as their personal attendants, none of the other soldiers knew about it. This included Zirui and that servant. None of them were told.
Bai Fu Rong advised Feng Yu Heng: "You must not tell my father about this matter. He's getting old. If he knows that Qian Zhou is in chaos and that I am going to the North, he will not allow me to go no matter what. But fortunately, he needs to focus on supervising the craftsmen in the palace during the new year's celebration. He will not pay too much attention to me. Just think of a way to help me come up with an excuse. "
Xuan Tianming had already thought of this excuse, but he still used Winter Moon Palace as an excuse. He would just say that he was accompanying Consort Yun to relieve her boredom. Even if craftsman Bai knew, he would not rush over to Winter Moon Palace to ask for her.
Bai Fu Rong felt that this was quite good.
The three days that Xuan Tianming had set for departure would begin the next morning. Feng Yu Heng chose to set out at night. She brought along Wang Chuan and Huang Quan as well as the two hidden guards that Xuan Tianming had sent. He personally sent them out of the mountain until they reached the main road. Only then did he confirm with Feng Yu Heng: "You really don't want to bring any more hidden guards?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "This trip should not be made public. Even if it's hidden guards, the fewer, the better. With two, we can take turns driving the carriage. If we bring more, it'll be easier for others to notice. "
Xuan Tianming also understood this reasoning. With things as they were, there was no point in saying anything else, thus he only provided her with some information: "The day before the new year's celebration is Duan Mu An Guo's birthday. Every year, he will hold a large birthday banquet. The officials and merchants of the three northern provinces will prepare gifts to congratulate him. Qian Zhou will also express its gratitude. If you can arrive before the new year's celebration, this will be an opportunity. "
Feng Yu Heng's eyes lit up, as she immediately nodded, "It's a good opportunity."
Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly, "I don't care about any good or bad opportunities. I just hope that there will come a day when you can stop. Aside from at my side, anywhere else, I can't feel at ease."
Her heart was moved, as she knew that he truly did not want her to leave. But with the country in front of a crisis, since she had come here, since she was destined to walk hand in hand with this man, there were some things that needed to be completed by the two of them. There was no reason for her to hide behind a man's back.
"I know." She reached out and tugged at Xuan Tianming's sleeve, "When Qian Zhou's matters are settled, I won't go anywhere. I'll be at your side every day. It'll be fine as long as you don't bother me."
How could he bother her … … Spreading his arms, he pulled the girl into his embrace. His arms immediately tightened, causing her to feel suffocated. "You must be careful on this trip. No matter what, protecting your life is most important. If you really can't do it, just hide in your space and don't come out. Do you understand? "
She nodded, as her nose began to sting. However, he had already let go of her and pushed her back, "Let's go!" His expression then became cold. Looking at the two hidden guards and Huang Quan and Wang Chuan, he said in a deep voice: "Protect the princess well. If anything happens to her, there is no need for you to come back and see me."
The four immediately knelt and said in unison: "This subordinate obeys."
Feng Yu Heng turned around and quickly walked towards the carriage that had been prepared. Just as she arrived in front of the carriage, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly ran back. She then tiptoed and whispered a few words into Xuan Tianming's ear. She then ran back and climbed into the carriage.
Huang Quan and Wang Chuan followed closely behind her and climbed into the carriage. The hidden guards sat outside the carriage. With a flick of their whips, the carriage began to rush towards the North.
Bai Ze glanced at his master's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What did the princess consort just say?"
Xuan Tianming adjusted his mask and revealed a devilish smile … …
