Psychological problems needed to be treated. This was a point that city lord Wu understood. It was just that the difference between his position as a city lord and that of a noble from the imperial family was too great. At one point, he felt that it was all a dream. He feared that Li Sheng would spend her entire life in this sort of self-induced hallucination.
But now, there was a glimmer of hope that rose from the bottom of his heart. Earlier, this Princess Ji An had not avoided mentioning that she was acquainted with Prince Lian. Also, as he saw it, this imperial daughter was very protective of Li Sheng. Although he did not dare say that they were close, he did have a good impression of her. Thus he gathered his courage and begged: "Imperial daughter, take pity on my daughter. Please help her!"
Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath and said: "This imperial daughter indeed feels that Li Sheng is quite amiable. Although I do not dare say that I am 90% certain about this matter, I can promise to speak with Prince Lian when I see him again to see if he can think of a way to solve Wan Quan. It's just that before this … "Her gaze froze, as she stared at city lord Wu and said:" I will not ask about the manor's matters, but since I have taken care of Li Sheng's matter, I hope that she will not suffer any more grievances. Her birth mother should also be in this manor, right? I don't know how many rules there are for the separation of wives and concubines in Qian Zhou, but since Li Sheng is ill, it would be best to have her spend more time with her birth mother. "
City Lord Wu naturally agreed to everything.
Nobody ate much during this meal. After leaving the city lord's manor and heading toward the posthouse, Xuan Tianming asked Feng Yu Heng: "Didn't you not have a good impression of the people of Qian Zhou? Why are you so concerned? "
She spread her hands, "I just have a grudge with Qian Zhou's imperial family; however, I do not want to exterminate our future citizens. The matter between Li Sheng and that woman, Prince Lian … no, that man, I am a bit interested. Hah! Xuan Tianming, tell me, am I too gossipy? "
Xuan Tianming had also spent a long time with Feng Yu Heng. Only then did he understand what she meant by gossiping, thus he nodded and admitted, "You are a bit."
"Hah, you can't spend every day thinking about fighting! It can't be that you want me to completely erase my nature as a girl and only think about bloodshed, right? "
"Naturally, I don't want that to happen." He took the girl's hand and pulled it into his wide sleeves. "I want this war to end quickly so that I can bring you around the world to see the scenery and eat something good. It's better than being tense all day."
"I want to too." She looked at him expectantly. "I've been to the north, and I still want to go to the south, west, and east. Seventh Brother is in the east. If there's a chance, let's go and take a look. "
"Alright." Xuan Tianming's grip on her hand tightened. "As long as you want to, you can go anywhere in the world."
That night, Feng Yu Heng brought Bai Fu Rong out of her space and placed her in a guest room. Bai Fu Rong's aging had stopped in her space, but once she returned to the real world, she feared that it would quickly begin to accelerate.
She could not keep her in her space the entire time. She could not allow Bai Fu Rong to sleep the entire time. The anti-aging medicine that she had personally prepared needed to be injected every day. Feng Yu Heng thought that she had to at least do her best to allow Bai Fu Rong to last until they returned to the capital. As long as they returned to the capital, she would have her grandfather take a look. Only then could her life and death be determined. Also …
Her eyes focused. The medicine had been administered by someone from Qian Zhou. The person that had administered the medicine had been ordered by their master, and that master was the ruler of Qian Zhou. The imperial family's medicine naturally needed to be treated by the imperial family. Perhaps she could ask Prince Lian about it. Or perhaps when the army reached the capital, she could go and have a good chat with the ruler of Qian Zhou.
After the final injection of medicine was administered, Feng Yu Heng threw the syringe back into her space's automatic trash can. When she got up to change the candle, Bai Fu Rong slowly woke up from her bed.
She had already become accustomed to waking up at this time every day. The first person she would see would definitely be Feng Yu Heng, and the first thing she would ask would always be: "How many days are left until my time is up?"
Feng Yu Heng told her: "Your time has already passed. I already said that with me here, I will not let you die."
Bai Fu Rong shook her head, "That's impossible. I can feel that my aging is still accelerating. Although it has slowed down quite a bit, it has not stopped. There will come a day when I will die of old age. Heng Heng, don't waste your energy. Just forget about it."
Feng Yu Heng helplessly said to her: "Everyone will grow old and die. In a person's life, from the moment of their birth, it is a dead end. What is it, could it be that you know that you will die sooner or later, so you've given up on living? You've given up on a wonderful birthday and spent your days feeling sorry for yourself? Fu Rong, you were not like this in the past. Where did your elegance go? "
Elegance? Bai Fu Rong was stunned. Elegance? That sounded like something from her previous life.
She smiled bitterly and gently sighed. She wanted to close her eyes, but at this time, someone knocked on the door.
Feng Yu Heng did not move, only asking Bai Fu Rong: "Bai Ze will knock on the door at this time every day, but you never see him even once."
Bai Fu Rong said: "I don't see him. I'm worried that I'll scare him."
"You not seeing him is the one that really scares him." She helplessly walked towards the door and firmly said: "Today, it's not up to you. You have to see him whether you want to see him or not. Fu Rong, your life is up to you to grasp, and Bai Ze is the person that can give you a chance. "
While she spoke, the door was already open. Bai Ze stared at her and silently said: Thank you.
Feng Yu Heng did not know what the two talked about. She just saw that when Bai Ze left, his face was no longer as gloomy as it was in the past. Before Bai Fu Rong went to sleep, there was a faint trace of life on her face.
Otherwise, why would it be said that the most miraculous thing in the world was love. It was only love that could not be reasoned with and could not be explained.
The next day, she woke up a little later. Xuan Tianming had already gone to patrol the camp, and the servant that had been sent over to take care of her came in to deliver water for washing up. The servant was quite talkative and had the personality of someone from the North. At this time, she saw Feng Yu Heng get out of bed. While folding her blanket, she spoke about the news from Bin City: "Imperial daughter slept for a long time today and missed out on some excitement. Early this morning, apparently before the sun had even risen, that crazy young miss from the city lord's manor began to cause a ruckus. I don't know who she heard it from, but she said that the general guarding the second city in the North is Prince Lian from Qian Zhou. She said that she wanted to go find her husband, and the city lord's master sent three guards to stop her. "
Feng Yu Heng was stunned, "Prince Lian is guarding Luo City?"
The servant shook her head, "This servant does not know. I just heard them say this when they were talking about the excitement. I don't know where young miss Wu heard it from."
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled. She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. Without even eating breakfast, she headed out. As she walked, she arrived in front of the city lord's manor. Li Sheng was actually still there; however, she was no longer causing a ruckus. Instead, she was sitting on the steps in front of the manor's entrance. The steps had already been covered by ice and snow for many years, causing them to lose their original appearance. This was equivalent to sitting directly on the snow; however, she did not feel cold in the slightest.
A maidservant repeatedly advised her from the side: "Princess, go back. His Highness is currently busy with military matters. You are his official princess. You must not cause trouble for him at a time like this."
Li Sheng looked at the maidservant and asked: "But he has already come to Luo City. Why has he not come to see me?"
"Military matters are more important." The maidservant continued: "His Highness is a prince and a general. How can he spend his days immersed in love. Princess should understand."
Li Sheng shook her head, "I don't understand. He must have taken a fancy to those two maidservants who carry lanterns. In the past, I found those two maidservants to be an eyesore, but his Highness was protecting them. I could not hit or touch them, making me very vexed. His Highness spends more time with them than with me. Sometimes, when I want to talk to him about something, I have to get the approval of those two maidservants. Tell me, who is the official princess of the Lian Palace? "
That maidservant did not know how to advise her. She could only helplessly stand to the side with a bitter expression.
Feng Yu Heng was about to walk over to speak with Li Sheng, but at this time, a group of soldiers ran over from the distance. They arrived in front of her and said: "Princess, his Highness is calling for you to go back. We will be leaving for Luo City tomorrow."
She hurriedly returned. In the guest house, Xuan Tianming was personally packing up. Feng Yu Heng asked: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Xuan Tianming looked at her and said: "Luo City is guarded by Prince Lian. Based on our analysis, it's impossible for a dignified marquis to appear in a second city. Now that Qian Zhou has brought everything forward, I fear that an irreversible change has already occurred in the capital. "
The army began to march the next morning. Feng Yu Heng continued to ride her horse and accompany Xuan Tianming; however, she was thinking about Prince Lian personally guarding Luo City. How exactly would this battle be fought?
On the third day of the march, they worked with the vanguard that had been sent out to scout the weather. It was reported that the weather ahead had become even colder, but it was not completely unstoppable. The army could still attack.
Five days later, Luo City appeared before them.
The city's defenses were not much different from Bin City's. It was still a thick wall covered in ice, and there was a faint trace of ice around the gate. But all of this paled in comparison to the red clothed figure standing alone on top of the city wall.
Feng Yu Heng sniffed, and that smell wafted over once more. She originally thought that it was just the smell of perfume that a woman often used; however, who knew that it had such a complicated origin. If what Li Sheng had said was true, perhaps the perfume made from the skull of a rare beast had a special use for Prince Lian.
"I still feel that she's a woman." Feng Yu Heng raised her head and looked. No matter how she looked, she felt that it was a woman that was so beautiful that the heavens and earth would lose their color. "So beautiful, how could she be a man?"
Xuan Tianming teased her: "How about we capture Luo City and capture Prince Lian alive for dear wife to verify his identity?"
She rolled her eyes at him, "What sort of time is it now, yet you still have the heart to joke around."
Xuan Tianming, however, did not mind, "Luo City will fall on its own without being attacked."
"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow, "How can you say that?"
Xuan Tianming squeezed out a sly smile from the corners of his lips and did not reply. Instead, he raised his head and suddenly used his internal energy to loudly say: "Prince Lian, I trust that you have been well since we last met?"
The big red figure on top of the city wall seemed to lean forward, his mouth also moved, but he did not make a sound. Then, he turned his head and spoke to the person next to him.
The wind and snow were heavy, and they were far away. Being able to see his movements clearly was already the limit. Even if she and Xuan Tianming were proficient in lip-reading, they were still unable to distinguish what the other party was saying.
Very quickly, a voice came from the top of the city wall, but it was not Prince Lian who spoke. Instead, it came from the elite guard next to him, "His Highness said that he can't shout as loudly as you guys. However, if you want to capture Luo City, you must show some real ability today!"
