A certain person found a substitute for herself, and after finding one, she got jealous.
Xuan Tianming squinted his eyes and told Bai Ze: "Your princess told I to stay away from her good sister."
"Tsk tsk." Bai Ze smirked, "That's not far. Since the Bai family's young miss is the princess' substitute, then she must travel with the master. En, ride in the same carriage, leave the same tent, even eat together, sleep together … … sleep together? "Bai Ze shuddered, and Feng Yu Heng's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He subconsciously shook his head and said in fear, "No, no, it's okay to eat and travel together, but it's not okay to sleep together. If the Princess Consort finds out, as her personal bodyguard, I won't be able to keep my life! No, no. "
Xuan Tianming looked again at the carriage that had already disappeared from sight. Turning around, he said: "Then what do you think should be done?"
Bai Ze was also troubled, "This subordinate does not have much experience. How about we go back and discuss it!"
On the way back to the camp, the two began an intense discussion. And that morning, in the capital's Feng family, Xiang Rong was recuperating in An shi's courtyard. Her ankle was in constant pain, causing her to feel strangely irritated.
Yao Xian had come once before. After examining her, he told her that the bone was fine, but the tendon was injured. Aside from taking medicine, there was no other way to treat this kind of injury. It was just that the bandages were very strange, causing Xiang Rong to feel much more at ease.
She didn't let An shi accompany her and only said that she wanted to rest. Even her personal maidservant was driven out. She leaned on the bed alone and thought about how she was injured over and over again.
She was pushed down the stairs by Bai Fu Rong. It was not an accident. It was a deliberate act. Xiang Rong was certain because she was the victim. Regarding the situation at that time, she had the most right to speak. Even if Wang Chuan did not see it, Bai Fu Rong's small actions could not escape her eyes. This was also the reason why Xiangrong was so frustrated!
Bai Fu Rong was a very good friend of her second sister. When the two met on the street, going shopping and drinking tea together was something that could not be any more normal. However, who knew that Wang Chuan's appearance would cause Bai Fu Rong to suddenly have other thoughts. She did not know why her second sister wanted her to go to the military camp, but Bai Fu Rong had gone in her place. She always felt that there was a problem.
Just as she was thinking, a maidservant's voice came from outside. That servant had clearly raised her voice on purpose. Her goal was to have Xiang Rong hear her inside the room: "Third young miss has already gone to rest. She said that she will not see anyone. Fourth young miss should come another day!"
Following this, Fen Dai's voice could be heard: "Of the children in this manor, only us two sisters remain. What is it, you servants even want to sow discord between us two sisters?"
Xiang Rong helplessly sighed. She understood Fen Dai's personality too well. That girl had always done as she pleased. If she wanted to do something, she would do it regardless of the consequences. Now that she wanted to come in, how could a servant and a door stop her.
"Let her come in." Xiang Rong raised her voice and said: "Let fourth young miss come in."
Just as this was said, Fen Dai pushed open the door. After taking a couple steps in, she cautiously closed the door. Only then did she appear to have inadvertently entered the room.
Xiang Rong's brow moved slightly. Over the past year, she had personally experienced many of the changes in the Feng family. She had also seen the fickleness of the people around her. She had been killed, she had been framed, she had fought with a prince and she had also attended morning court. Her mental state was no longer as simple and pure as it was in the past. She was able to understand about 70 to 80 percent of the people that had other intentions.
For example, the current Fen Dai. From her arrogance outside the door to her caution after entering, although she had done her best to act naturally, Xiang Rong was still able to see some clues. It was just that Xiang Rong had never been someone that would take the initiative to cause trouble. Since Fen Dai had matters to attend to, she would listen. If she did not speak, she would not ask.
Thus when Fen Dai entered, she saw Xiang Rong still leaning against the bed. Her expression was calm, and there was not a single ripple because of her arrival.
"Third sister is quite open-minded." Fen Dai spoke up and walked over to Xiang Rong's side of the bed. Looking at Xiang Rong's injured foot, she furrowed her brow and said: "With this injury, you will need at least 100 days before you can get out of bed, right?"
Xiang Rong nodded, "Grandfather said it like that."
Fen Dai's expression was clearly a little repulsed. The term grandfather caused her to feel a little uncomfortable. But she had not come today for this, thus she did not think too much about it. She only asked: "I heard that you were injured when you were together with the Bai family's young miss of the first wife. Speaking of, it's quite strange. That Bai family's young miss has always been close to Feng Yu … and second sister. In the past, I have never seen her take the initiative to come and find third sister. Why is it that you two ended up together this time?"
Her words sounded like idle chatter, but the relationship between Fen Dai and Xiang Rong was just like how she had described Xiang Rong and Bai Fu Rong. Normally, they did not interact much. Why had they come over to chat now?
Xiang Rong faintly replied: "We met on the streets. The Bai family's young miss has a lively personality, thus she invited me to drink tea together."
"Oh." Fen Dai nodded, "Meeting, what a coincidence." She forcefully tugged the corners of her lips into a smile then said: "Then that's fine. Third sister, take care of yourself. It's just a pity that with our manor's current situation, even if you want to eat something nice, you need to fork out your own money. That Bai family's young miss also did not come to visit you. No matter what is said, this injury is partially related to her."
Xiang Rong's mind was moved. Fen Dai clearly knew something, but she was not certain. That was why she had come to inquire about the situation. Then what exactly was going on with Bai Fu Rong?
She saw that Fen Dai had already stood up and suddenly said: "The Bai family's young miss can no longer come to visit me. She went with Wang Chuan girl to the military camp."
"What?" Fen Dai, who had not yet stood up completely, immediately jumped up. It was as though she had heard something extremely unexpected. Her face turned pale with fright. Looking at Xiang Rong in a daze, she asked once more: "What did you say? Where did she go? "
Xiang Rong was even more certain of her thoughts and repeated: "She went to the military camp. His Ninth Highness and Second Sister are at the military camp."
Fen Dai's expression was very ugly, but she also knew that she had lost her composure. Fearing that Xiang Rong would suspect something, she quickly said: "It's fine. I was just asking. Why did a rich young miss like her go to the military camp. Isn't she just causing trouble? Alright, you can rest. I'm leaving. "After saying this, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Xiang Rong was a little unable to sit still. There was clearly something wrong with this matter. Wang Chuan brought Bai Fu Rong to the military camp. Nothing should have happened, right? "Shan Cha!" She raised her voice and called for someone. When the servant at the door came in, she quickly said: "Quickly, prepare the carriage. I need to go to Chun Palace."
"Chun Palace?" The servant was stunned, "What is Young Miss going there for? His Highness the Seventh Prince is not in the capital! "
Xiang Rong was stunned. Only then did she remember that Xuan Tianhua had already requested to go to the East to take over the army that was originally led by Bu Cong. She could not help but feel her heart tremble.
Xuan Tianhua had sent out an army. Why did she feel so uneasy? She had already become accustomed to going there for matters, but now, even His Highness the Seventh Prince was not in the capital. In this large capital, why did it seem as though everyone at her side had suddenly left one by one? A feeling of being at a dead end filled her heart. Xiang Rong lay back down in bed, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
Feng Fen Dai, who had left the courtyard, also felt a wave of panic. The things that she had seen and heard over the past few days were all reminding her that there was a large conspiracy brewing. But in the end, she was too young. No matter what, she could not figure out who was involved in this conspiracy. She also did not know if she should tell Feng Jin Yuan about this matter.
She knew that Feng Jin Yuan had been looking for Xiao Jing the entire time. But later on, the Feng family lost power. Feng Jin Yuan's original hidden guard was no longer there and was replaced by someone from Qian Zhou. Naturally, he could not use someone from Qian Zhou to look for Xiao Jing. Thus, this matter was put on hold. Now, a feeling of powerlessness assaulted Fen Dai. She suddenly felt that she should have some sort of hidden guard at her side. Just like this matter, she wanted to get to the bottom of it; however, there was no one that she could use.
Hurriedly returning to her own room, she called for her maidservant Dong Ying and ordered: "Go to the Li Palace and have His Highness the Fifth Prince give me a few hidden guards to protect me. If he asks for a reason, just say that the Feng family is not safe."
Seeing Dong Ying leave, Fen Dai finally let out a sigh of relief and calmed down a little.
This morning, it was an important day for the military camp in the suburbs of the capital. Xuan Tianming personally selected five thousand elite soldiers to be personally led North. Among them were 200 divine archers and 200 divine archers. There was also the accompanying military doctor and Song Kang, who had already become the leader of the military doctors. The remaining people had to remain in the military camp to protect Xu Tian Cave from producing steel. This included He Gan and Xi Fang.
In the West, there were already eighty thousand soldiers led by him going North to meet up with Qian Li. He would bring another five thousand. Eighty-five thousand people. Although the number could not compare to the two hundred thousand that Qian Zhou claimed to have, Xuan Tianming trusted that the soldiers that he trained would be unmatched in terms of quality. If Qian Zhou only hid in the city to defend, they would have a chance of survival. Once the enemy came out, they would definitely be beheaded!
When the army set out, he rode a fierce horse from the Northwest at the very front. Next to him was a girl. She was also wearing purple; however, compared to Xuan Tianming's dark purple, it was a bit lighter. Looking at her, it was very appropriate. The purple dress only reached her knees, and the leggings were of the same color. With the silver decorations, it gave her a bit of a valiant and heroic appearance.
Bai Ze rode a horse and accompanied Xuan Tian Ming to a position slightly behind him. Looking at the two people to the side, he then looked back at the hopeful and envious gazes of the soldiers. His heart felt very uncomfortable. He really wanted to scold the people. What were they envious of? That was not an imperial daughter at all. But these words could not be said. This was a secret. Aside from them, there was nobody else that could know.
Xuan Tianming tilted his head and spoke, interrupting Bai Ze's thoughts. He asked: "Have the two children been settled?"
Bai Ze immediately replied: "Master, don't worry. We are heading North. Someone from the military camp will send them back to the capital. This subordinate has already ordered for them to be sent directly to the imperial palace to accompany Consort Yun. "
Xuan Tianming nodded. This was a decision that he and Feng Yu Heng had made together. The battlefield was a place that was too uncertain. Zirui was too young. In the end, he was still worried that he would be injured. After a few years, when the child was a bit older, he would bring him out to gain some experience.
He did not say anything else. Looking forward, he thought to himself about where Feng Yu Heng's group should be going at this time. The girl at his side, however, secretly raised her hand to her collar and said to herself: "Heng, don't blame me. Aside from this, I had no other choice."
