Others could not understand Feng Yu Heng's thoughts, but Xiang Rong and An shi were able to understand. Feng Yu Heng leaving the Feng family was not unexpected. Yao shi seeking her own death and acknowledging Fu Ya caused Feng Yu Heng to become impatient. This was also possible. But Xiang Rong knew that no matter who her second sister became enemies with, it was impossible for her to become enemies with the Yao family. At the same time, the Yao family would definitely not be unreasonable to the point of cursing people because of Yao shi.
All of this was just a facade that Feng Yu Heng had created to protect them. Even the fourth prince had told her, "You have a good elder sister that can protect you to this extent. Don't worry, from this day forward, I will take over your protection, and I will not allow you to be bullied."
She could not be bothered with the nonsense that Xuan Tian Yi had said. She just knew that her second sister had not truly left, thus she felt happy. Today, she had wanted to help her second sister. Since the play needed to be convincing, it needed to be real. But she had sung along, so why did she feel so uncomfortable after singing?
The next day at noon, someone from the palace came to report, saying that the Emperor had decided to head to the hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs in five days. Princess Ji 'an had been selected from the group and had been asked to prepare to enter the palace in the morning five days later.
After the palace servant left, Wang Chuan told Feng Yu Heng that this was called a Winter Hunt. In the past, Emperor Tianwu would organize one every Winter, but for some reason, it had stopped over the past two years. In Huang Quan's words: "Perhaps it's because His Majesty is getting older and does not like to cause as much trouble as he did when he was younger."
Wang Chuan, however, did not believe this, gently scolding Huang Quan: "Don't speak nonsense. His Majesty is still very energetic." He then turned to Feng Yu Heng and said: "As this servant sees it, the year before last, it was because of the Winter disaster. The citizens suffered, and the imperial family could not go hunting for fun. Last year, it's most likely because young miss went to the North with His Ninth Highness, and Qian Zhou was in the middle of a battle, his Majesty did not mention the hunt. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and felt that what she said made sense, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just told Huang Quan, "Feed Little White Tiger well for the next few days. When we're preparing, prepare more food for it. We can carry it with us."
Huang Quan had no choice but to repeat, "Tigers eat meat. They can't drink milk powder all day long. Isn't it just like drinking water? How could it be full? Look at how slow Xiao Bai is growing. Young Miss, this servant thinks that it has something to do with the food you feed him. "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head and said, "No, I also gave Little White dry food. I gave it a lot of delicious snacks in the kitchen, and it ate all of them. It didn't just drink milk. Besides, what was the point of having it grow so big? Where would he be raised when he grew up? Was he really going to make an iron cage to keep it in? I can bear to, but can you? "
Huang Quan and Wang Chuan shook their heads, "We can't bear to." They had interacted with Little White Tiger too much. They treated it like a pet and played with it all day long. How could they bear to keep it in a cage?
"But you can't keep it in. It's already so big, and it's just wandering around the yard. You two have good martial arts and aren't afraid of anything, but what about everyone else? What if Xiao Bai gets hungry one day and wants to eat someone? Tell me, who should our manor eat? "Feng Yu Heng cracked some melon seeds and teased the two servants.
Huang Quan angrily stomped her foot, and Wang Chuan helplessly said, "Just now, you said that Xiao Bai doesn't eat meat. Why would it want to eat people?"
"Isn't Huang Quan going to feed it meat?"
"Forget it, forget it. It'll be fine if it just drinks milk." Huang Quan gave up, "It's up to it whether it grows up or not. Either way, it's quite fun to hold it like this."
Feng Yu Heng chatted and laughed with the two servants for a while before getting up and going to the medicine storage room. Ever since Bai Fu Rong moved in, she had created a resting room in the medicine storage room to serve as Bai Fu Rong's resting place. But as Bai Fu Rong's condition improved, Feng Yu Heng thought that when they returned from the Winter Hunt, they should be able to move her out of the medicine storage room and into a normal room.
When she arrived, Bai Fu Rong was awake and was fiddling with a bottle of pills. She stared blankly at the strange words on the bottle. Seeing Feng Yu Heng come over, she quickly stood up and said to her with a smile: "Heng, I can now stay awake for half a day every day. When I want to fall asleep, I won't immediately faint. Instead, I can walk to the side of the bed and lie down before falling asleep. Heng, all of this was given to me by you. Thank you. "
Feng Yu Heng saw that she was happy, so she was also happy, thus she chatted with Bai Fu Rong for a while. She then told her that she would be going to the Winter Hunt in five days. When that time came, Qing Yu would often return to the manor. She told her to look for Qing Yu if she needed anything. Feng Yu Heng understood what she wanted to ask, thus she took the initiative to say: "Don't worry. Bai Ze is with His Ninth Highness. Everything is going well. His Ninth Highness promised me that he would definitely return before the end of the year. At that time, you should have recovered. It won't affect the wedding."
Bai Fu Rong's face turned bright red from what she said. She was so embarrassed that she did not dare raise her head. This caused Feng Yu Heng to laugh. But Bai Fu Rong was still worried, "Heng, you also said that it is impossible for me to completely recover. If I become old and ugly, tell me … will Bai Ze still want me?"
Feng Yu Heng was not worried about this problem. She told Bai Fu Rong, "Bai Ze is not one of those hedonistic sons. His standards for choosing a wife are different from other men. You need to believe in him and believe in yourself. Of course, you need to believe in me even more." She held Bai Fu Rong's hand and said seriously: "Believe in me. Believe in my medical skills. I will do my best to treat you."
Five days passed quickly. That morning, before the sun had even risen, the imperial daughter's manor had already begun to get up and prepare. Feng Yu Heng wore a simple winter robe and held the little white tiger in her lap. After quickly eating some snacks, she got into the imperial carriage. The imperial carriage was driven by Ban Zou, and it headed toward the imperial palace. Along the way, Huang Quan asked her: "Young miss, are you really not preparing to have Ban Zou come with us to the hunting ground?"
"I'm not bringing him." Feng Yu Heng spoke resolutely, "When his Majesty goes out, he will definitely bring along a group of imperial concubines. There will be no shortage of guards. It would be inconvenient for me to bring along a hidden guard. If someone with ulterior motives uses this as an excuse, it would be hard to provide an explanation. "
Her words were heard by Ban Zou, who was driving the carriage outside, and he could not help but snort coldly and say: "If you don't want to bring him along, just say it directly. What are you beating around the bush for?"
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "How have I been finding excuses? It's just that Huang Quan asked me, so I explained a bit. I was just saying it directly. Can you not tell? "
Ban Zou snorted coldly once more and did not say anything else.
They arrived very quickly at the palace's gates. Early in the morning, there were palace servants waiting to welcome the various masters into the palace. Outside the palace, aside from Feng Yu Heng, there was also Xuan Tian Ge's family. There were also some important officials and their family members. There were also quite a few people entering the palace.
Feng Yu Heng had arrived rather early. She did not go to the inner palace first. Instead, she went to the craftsman's room to find Craftsman Bai. Back then, Craftsman Bai had insisted on entering the palace again, and he had stayed in the palace peacefully to find the person that they suspected had ulterior motives. But after such a long time had passed, when Feng Yu Heng saw him again, Craftsman Bai helplessly shook his head: "I stayed in the palace and observed for such a long time; however, I was still unable to find that suspicious person. There are times when I begin to wonder if my initial judgment was right or wrong. Imperial daughter, have you ever thought that we might have misunderstood? "
In regards to this matter, Feng Yu Heng could not figure it out, but she knew that there was definitely a person in the imperial palace, or perhaps there were a few people that were inextricably linked to the North and Qian Zhou. She reminded Craftsman Bai: "If there are no results from observing with your eyes, then use your heart to observe and think. There are times when you close your eyes to see things that you cannot see. "
With her saying this, Craftsman Bai really did remember something. He told Feng Yu Heng: "In truth, it can't be considered completely without any clues. These days, you would occasionally send news into the palace, telling me about Fu Rong's situation. I heard that she was fine, and I also relaxed quite a bit. In addition to this, ever since you returned, there has not been much work in the palace. Although I have already agreed to make accessories for everyone, the people in the palace still have some reservations. I do not have much work to do. When I was idle, I kept thinking, why was I always bothered by this sort of thing in the past? The more I wanted to leave the palace to look for Fu Rong, the more work was sent to me. At that time, it seemed that there was an endless supply of accessories. After finishing one, another would be sent. No matter what, I could not get rid of it. Although those jobs were sent by different people, there must be someone behind them. That is why those people all came to me at the same time. "
Craftsman Bai's heart was in a mess. In addition, he was still guessing, so his words were not very well organized. However, Feng Yu Heng still understood. She asked Craftsman Bai: "Uncle, do you have someone you suspect?"
Craftsman Bai looked at her and considered for a while. In the end, he still said: "That person should have a very high status in the palace. At least, no one in the inner palace can compare. Imperial Daughter, I suspect … … "
"The Empress?" Feng Yu Heng spoke for him. Her expression was serious. Her beautiful brows were tightly knitted together, and there was a bit of surprise in her eyes.
Craftsman Bai nodded, "Yes, it is the Empress. However, all of this is just my guess. At least for now, the Empress has not fallen into our hands. Moreover, she is sincerely good to Dashun, to the Emperor, and to the Imperial Daughter. That's why Imperial Daughter should only listen to this matter. You absolutely must not take it to heart. Otherwise, if you wrongly accuse a good person, that would be a sin. Moreover, even if she really is not a good person, her power is too great. Imperial Daughter, you must be careful. "
Feng Yu Heng did not remain there for long. Very quickly, she returned to the inner palace. She first asked Consort Yun if she would be going. As a result, Consort Yun was still sleeping and had not gotten up. Naturally, she would not go. She did not disturb her and turned toward the Empress' side.
Today, all of the concubines and noble ladies that had entered the palace needed to gather at the Empress' side. When the time came, they would all leave the palace together. When she arrived, many people were already waiting there. Feng Yu Heng looked around and saw quite a few familiar people. There was no need to mention the concubines in the palace. Just those outside the palace included the Lu Family's Lu Yan, the Feng family's Feng Fendai, Xiang Rong, Xuan Tian Ge, Ren Xifeng and Fung Tian Yu. They were all already waiting there.
She saluted the Empress and left after exchanging some pleasantries. Just as she was about to greet Xuan Tian Ge, two old friends caught her eye. Seeing these two people, Craftsman Bai's earlier words echoed in her mind once more. She thought for a bit then slowly walked over to the two … …
