In the forest, Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianhua slowed down their horses and walked side by side. Although they were aimless, they did not dare to go deeper into the forest. After all, there was still the injured Xuan Feiyu in the imperial tent. She had to make sure that if something happened, the servants would be able to find her immediately.
With one thing happening after another, the two were not in a very good mood. Even someone like Xuan Tian Hua furrowed his brow the entire time. Instead, it was Feng Yu Heng who comforted him first: "Feiyu is fine. The injury looks very scary, but fortunately, it's just an external injury. It didn't hurt his muscles or bones, so it's not difficult to treat. I have already done a detailed treatment. In the future, I will also prepare acupuncture and medicine. I will try my best not to leave a scar. Seventh Brother, don't worry. "
Xuan Tianhua smiled bitterly: "I have never doubted your medical skills. Naturally, I am not worried about this." He looked at Feng Yu Heng, the worry in his eyes undisguised. Seeing this, Feng Yu Heng felt a little embarrassed. Xuan Tian Hua sighed once more from the bottom of his heart. Just like in the past, every time he faced this girl, he would feel a sense of helplessness that had reached the end of his life. He wanted to protect her well; however, he also needed to maintain the most basic rules and etiquette. This was probably what it meant to be unable to do as one wished.
How could Feng Yu Heng not understand? But there were some words that she understood in her heart, but couldn't say. Once she said it, her life would become a mess. No matter how beautiful things were, or how beautiful people were, they would become terrible because of that sentence. And this kind of terrible thing could happen to anyone, but it could not happen to Xuan Tianhua. It was not for any other reason. She could not bear to see Xuan Tianhua in a bad situation.
"There are more and more enemies." She opened the topic and said something, "I always feel that there are enemies all around me. Some are in the open, and some are sneaky in the dark. Sometimes, I think, if these enemies suddenly join forces one day, will we be able to accept it?"
Xuan Tianhua looked at her and asked, "Are you scared?"
She shook her head. "There's nothing to be afraid of. Or rather, it's useless to be afraid. They had already come this far. Could it be that they could still turn back? Even if he did, could he still pretend that he had never met the people he had met along the way? If that's the case, that would be great. "
"Calm down and deal with whatever comes our way. Mr. Heng, this is the royal family. Once you step in, there's no way out. "Xuan Tianhua suddenly reached out and rubbed her head. At first, he was gentle, but then he suddenly used a lot of strength, messing up Feng Yu Heng's hair. But he only rubbed her head before immediately helping her smooth out the messy hair. Only then did he say: "Ming changed the letter that Yuan shi sent to the South. Eighth Brother has always listened to his Imperial Concubine Mother. Ming clearly understood this point, which was why he changed Fu Ya's name and picture to that of the Lu Family's young miss. Thinking about it, Ming should already be on his way back. Eighth Brother will be a bit later than him, but he will definitely rush back for the new year to participate in the banquet on the first day of the new year. He was forced to marry Lu Yan. After finding out the truth, he definitely will not let this matter rest. We need to think of a countermeasure ahead of time. When the time comes, we cannot be too passive. Also, today's matter is clearly the work of the mastermind. I have thought about it. Yuan shi can't even take care of herself. Even if she wants to get revenge, she will not do it immediately. After all, she also needs to avoid suspicion. As for the others … do you know … "
Xuan Tianhua said a lot of things in one breath, but before he could finish speaking, they heard the sound of a horse galloping from behind them. The two turned around and saw Huang Quan riding a horse over. Her face was filled with urgency, and before she reached them, she shouted: "Young Miss, Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianhua quickly reined in their horses. When Huang Quan arrived, she asked: "What is it? Could it be that something happened to Feiyu? "
Huang Quan shook her head, "No, no, nothing happened to the Emperor's young grandson. The one that happened was in our tent."
"In the tent?" Feng Yu Heng was puzzled, "What do you mean? What happened in the tent? " As she asked, she glanced at Huang Quan. When she saw that she was carrying a cloth bag with the little white tiger in it, she was slightly relieved. However, she still asked: "Did Little White hurt someone again?"
Huang Quan still shook her head, "Little White is also fine. Young Miss, don't guess anymore. Look at this." As she spoke, she took something out of her sleeve.
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianhua looked over and couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it. "Witchcraft." Xuan Tianhua said with certainty.
Indeed, it was witchcraft. Huang Quan was holding a small figure with Feng Yu Heng's name written on it. It was full of needles. However, Feng Yu Heng smiled. She held the little figure in her hand and looked at it for a while. Then, she asked Xuan Tianhua: "Seventh Brother, do you think this thing is really useful? I heard that with this kind of witchcraft, the person who is cursed will feel pain wherever the needles are stuck. Look, this little figure is full of needles all over its body. Even its face is not spared. According to this kind of method, won't I be in pain? How would I have the strength to ride a horse in the forest? "
Without waiting for Xuan Tianhua to express his opinion, Huang Quan said first: "Young Miss, you can't not believe this. As far as this servant knows, this kind of skill doesn't work on the spot after it is stuck. It has to be placed next to you. You will only have a reaction after a few days."
"Where was this thing found?" Xuan Tianhua asked Huang Quan, "You just said it was in the tent, a place very close to your Royal Princess?"
Huang Quan nodded, "It was under the Royal Princess's bed. The little white tiger dug it out when it was playing under the bed. We just arrived at the camp yesterday, so this thing shouldn't have been there for long. That's why the Royal Princess hasn't reacted yet. If it was delayed for a day or two, I'm afraid that … "
"Let's go back and take a look." Feng Yu Heng spoke up, "To be able to let one in, we need to guard against the other side letting in a second one. Although I don't really believe in this sort of thing, it just doesn't bite people. It even repels people. We can't allow the other side to continue acting so arrogantly. "
The group quickly returned to the camp. At this time, Feng Fen Dai, who had noticed Huang Quan rushing into the forest, had already brought her maidservant, Dong Ying, over to Feng Yu Heng's tent. While walking, she muttered: "Huang Quan must have gone to find Feng Yu Heng. Seeing her so anxious, something must have happened. Let's go over and take a look."
Dong Ying knew that her young miss was bold and did not dare advise her any further. She could only silently follow along. The two stood outside the tent for a long time and saw that the Royal Princess's tent was heavily guarded. They did not know what had happened. Fen Dai was unable to understand and was about to turn around and head back, but when she turned around, she saw Feng Yu Heng's group of three walking over. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little nervous and wanted to change her route. However, when she turned around, she bumped into Dong Ying again.
How could Feng Yu Heng not have noticed the movements on this side, but she did not stop. She just spat out when passing by Feng Fen Dai: "You want to run after seeing me? The Feng family's young miss shouldn't have done something shameful, right? "After saying this, she brushed past her and entered the tent in the blink of an eye.
Fen Dai furrowed her brow, "What did she mean?"
Dong Ying shook her head, "This servant does not know."
"What else could you know?" After saying this, she flicked her sleeve and left.
Inside the Royal Princess' tent, the group moved the bed around and found a few places where things could be hidden, but they were unable to find anything else. Feng Yu Heng even specially placed the little white tiger on the ground to have it play on its own. Seeing that the little guy did not go and pull out anything else, she finally relaxed. "There shouldn't be anything else."
"Could it be Feng Fen Dai?" Huang Quan recalled Feng Fen Dai's expression when he had just seen her outside the tent, and he could not help but become suspicious.
Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit then said: "It's possible. But she shouldn't have the ability, nor does she have the brains. Most importantly, she doesn't have the means. " As she spoke, she asked Xuan Tianhua: "Seventh Brother, is there anyone in the palace that has done research on curses? Noble Lady Yuan? " Noble Lady Yuan had suffered a loss today. Although it was impossible for her to immediately turn around and harm her, what if she had already made preparations?
Xuan Tianhua stood with his hands clasped behind his back and told her: "The palace has always hated this sort of thing. Many years ago, when the current Consort Li and Imperial Concubine Gu Xian were still just concubines, the two had gotten into an argument. In the end, Imperial Concubine Gu was promoted to the position of imperial concubine before Imperial Concubine Li, which caused Imperial Concubine Li to feel dissatisfied. Thus, she had this little figure used to curse Imperial Concubine Gu. After it was found out, she was to be punished, but who knew that Imperial Concubine Li was already two months pregnant at the time. With the imperial physician mentioning this matter, nobody could punish her. They could only take care of her. When she gave birth to the child and it was a prince, the officials in the palace said that this was a joyous occasion, and Imperial Concubine Li should be rewarded. Like this, Imperial Concubine Li was promoted to Consort Li, and the matter of the witchcraft was resolved. "
Feng Yu Heng pondered over Xuan Tianhua's words then asked: "It was the Sixth Prince?"
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "Just now, in the forest, I did not finish speaking. That Consort Li did not just give birth to the Sixth Prince. She and the noble lady, Yuan shi, are sisters." After Xuan Tianhua finished speaking, he did not stay any longer. He only gave her a few words of advice then urged her to send the little figure to the second prince. This matter was urgent, so they would investigate it together. He then left the tent.
Feng Yu Heng, however, stood in place and did not move. She muttered: "Consort Li …"
Feng Fendai brought Dong Ying toward her own tent. While walking, she muttered: "I don't know what happened, but it seems that Feng Yu Heng has not been doing well recently. I really am happy!"
The two very quickly arrived in front of the tent, but Feng Fendai suddenly stopped moving. Dong Ying was puzzled: "Young Miss, are you not going in?"
Feng Fendai did not make a sound. She thought to herself for a while then suddenly turned around. She actually headed down a different path.
Dong Ying took a look. This path was not right! She was heading toward the center of the camp. For this Winter Hunt, the locations of the tents were very particular. From the outer perimeter to the center, each layer had a higher status than the last. For example, the soldiers were at the outer perimeter, then the military officials, then the civil officials, then the womenfolk, then the princes, princesses, imperial daughters, and finally the imperial concubines and the family members of the princes. In the center was Emperor Tianwu's imperial tent. Feng Fendai was naturally among the womenfolk, but she was currently heading toward the center of the camp. Dong Ying casually asked: "Young Miss, are you going to see His Highness the fifth prince?"
"Shut up." Fendai was in a bad mood and coldly scolded her. She continued to walk forward. But she had already passed by the princes and arrived at the imperial concubines' tent. Finally, she stopped in front of Consort Li's tent …
