Eight hundred paces into the forest, Yue Xiu was waiting with someone. The servant at Noble Lady Yuan's side seemed to be a little afraid and paused, causing Noble Lady Yuan to feel dissatisfied: "Just follow me. What are you retreating for?"
The servant did not dare make a sound and quietly followed until Yue Xiu came forward and called out: "Master!" She then looked behind Noble Lady Yuan and said: "Miss Fu Ya."
Noble Lady Yuan frowned, "So unruly. Call her Young Miss Feng."
"Oh, Young Miss Feng." Yue Xiu quickly corrected herself, "It's this servant's fault. This servant keeps forgetting the rules." After saying this, she said to Noble Lady Yuan: "Master, everything has been arranged. A gap has been opened across from the forest. It was bitten by a small beast. Sending Young Miss Feng away from there will be absolutely safe."
The one dressed as a servant following behind Noble Lady Yuan was Fu Ya. When she heard that she was going to be sent away, she could not help but be shocked: "Where is Imperial Concubine sending me? Wasn't it said that I was going to come here and make other arrangements? Why do you want to send me away? "
Noble Lady Yuan told her: "Calm down. The present is different from the past. I was originally planning to arrange for you to come to the Winter Hunt, and we would wait for an opportunity to act. But something big happened during the day. I fear that you're still confused as to why I suddenly went from being an Imperial Concubine to a lowly noble lady. I'll tell you that all of this is because of Feng Yu Heng. As long as she is around, none of us will have any good days. That's why you need to leave now. "
Fu Ya frowned. She could not understand. Consort Yuanshu was an Imperial Concubine in the palace. That was an existence that even the princes would need to treat with respect. Just how much ability did Feng Yu Heng have to actually be able to topple an Imperial Concubine? She looked at Noble Lady Yuan in confusion. After a while, she finally asked: "Are you sending me back to the capital?"
Noble Lady Yuan shook her head, "No, I'm sending you to the South."
"What?" Fu Ya was extremely shocked, "Sending me to the South? Why? I … why do I need to go to the South? No good, no good! " She quickly refused and repeatedly shook her head, "I can't go to the South. There's still my home in the capital and my mother. How could I abandon her and go to the South? Niang niang, please ask someone else. "
"Miss Fu Ya, this is not up to you to decide." Yue Xiu coldly said: "You must remember your own identity. Although we call you Young Miss Feng, you are not Feng Yu Heng. You are not a child of the Feng family, and you are definitely not Yao shi's daughter. Your so-called home and mother are actually not related to you by blood at all. That is just a master-servant relationship. It's just employment. Could it be that you really think that you are Yao shi's biological daughter? There's no room for you to bargain in front of Her Highness! "
Yue Xiu's stern voice caused Fu Ya to freeze. She looked at Noble Lady Yuan in a daze. It was only at this moment that she understood that Consort Yuanshu had always been kind and amiable to her, but that was just a facade. She was asking a tiger for its skin. She was walking on a knife's edge. If she was even the slightest bit careless, getting cut would be considered light, but it would be very easy for her to fall off a cliff. In truth, she had prepared herself mentally long ago. She knew that she needed to be extremely careful when interacting with this sort of person, but her calculations were too shallow. No matter how she thought about it, she could not figure out who she was. Now that she was about to be sent to the South, she had no path of retreat. Thus, rather than resisting, it would be better …
"May I ask what Niang niang wants to send me to the South for?" Fu Ya asked Noble Lady Yuan, having already given up on her earlier thoughts of refusing. She obediently said: "I know that I can't run away, and you guys are holding onto me and refusing to let me go. It's just because of my face. Niang niang, just speak frankly. Like this, when I get to the South, I will have some assurance."
Noble Lady Yuan nodded and praised: "Sure enough, you are a smart girl. I trust that with some more training, you will not be worse than Feng Yu Heng." She told Fu Ya, "Sending you to the South is to give you a good marriage. That son of mine is the current Emperor's Eighth Prince. For you to be engaged to him is a blessing that has been accumulated over many lifetimes. Right now, he is about to return to the capital. If you can run into each other along the way, that would be best, but regardless of whether or not you run into each other, you will need to head straight to the South. When you get there, you will directly enter the general's manor in the South as His Highness the Eighth Prince's future official princess. As for your identity over there, you will be the Feng family's daughter and Yao shi's daughter. Do you understand? "
Fu Ya was stunned, "The Eighth Prince's future official princess?" Had she misheard? Had Noble Lady Yuan gone crazy? She was giving her the position of official princess just like that? Would the Eighth Prince himself agree?
Noble Lady Yuan clearly understood what she was thinking, thus she explained: "Don't worry. I know that son of mine. Ever since he was young, he has listened to me. As for His Majesty's side, although he has already agreed to the Lu Family's marriage, the marriage will only be sanctioned for the new year. Isn't there still two months? Two months is enough time for many things to happen. These are not things that you should worry about. As long as you can safely follow the hidden guards to the south, as long as you can safely reach the south, Fu Ya, from today onwards, your glory, splendor, wealth, and rank will be inexhaustible, inexhaustible. Also, I know that you want to get revenge for father and mother, but that revenge will need to be done with Feng Yu Heng. You have been in the capital for so long, and you should know how difficult it is to get revenge from her. That's why I have opened up a shortcut for you. As long as you can stand at His Highness the Eighth Prince's side as the Feng family's young miss, none of this will be a problem. "
Noble Lady Yuan's words had entered Fu Ya's heart. She also thought along with these words and felt that this was a very good deal. She knew what Noble Lady Yuan's ultimate goal was. The Eighth Prince would ascend the throne and take over the world. That was her dream. As for her appearing in the South as the Feng family's young miss, it was inevitable that the Eighth Prince would have another wave of support. After all, Feng Yu Heng's position in the hearts of the citizens of Dashun was too high. But … "If I go, what will happen to Madam Yao? If I leave, will she still acknowledge me? There's also the Feng family. This is a chain of events. If Imperial Concubine wants to stabilize this situation, you can't just send me off alone. "
Noble Lady Yuan smiled and said to her: "Don't worry. Yao shi is currently on her way to the South. As for the Feng family, Feng Jin Yuan does not have the slightest bit of standing in the Feng manor. His two daughters are both at the hunting ground. If you want to take him away, it will be even easier. Don't worry. When you reach the South, you will see all of the people that you should see. When that time comes, you just need to do your part as the Feng family's daughter and be filial and respectful to father and mother. There's no need for you to worry about anything else. "
What else could Fu Ya say now that things had come to this? She nodded, "Alright, I'll go."
Noble Lady Yuan nodded to the person in black clothes behind Yue Xiu. Following this, Fu Ya suddenly felt the world spin. In the blink of an eye, she had been lifted onto the shoulder of the person in black clothes. Using qinggong, they flew into the depths of the forest.
Noble Lady Yuan watched until they could no longer be seen. Only then did she turn around and head back. At the same time, she let out a long sigh and said with a bit of lingering fear: "It's also fortunate that something happened to Xuan Feiyu, which caused Feng Yu Heng to stumble. Otherwise, even if I wanted to send Fu Ya away, I fear that it would not have been so easy."
Yue Xiu also said: "That's right. Princess Ji 'an's spies are currently keeping an eye on Consort Li's side. I fear that she won't be able to pay attention to Imperial Concubine for the time being. But the matter of Miss Fu Ya coming to the camp should not be hidden from them. I wonder if that imperial daughter will cause trouble for us. "
"Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to be found." Noble Lady Yuan snorted coldly, "The hidden guards were left behind by Mo 'er, and there are so many outside to provide support. Thinking about it, there should be no problem with a safe trip. It's just that elder sister's side has me very worried. I fear that she's doing this for my sake …"
"Imperial Concubine." Yue Xiu could not help but remind Noble Lady Yuan: "Although Her Highness Imperial Concubine Li and you are sisters, her personality has always been very different. She's not close to you in the slightest. In addition to the matter of the witchcraft back then, it caused her to be quite weak in the palace. Now, she's suddenly done this sort of thing. Who knows if it's for your sake or not? Also, how can you be so certain that it was definitely done by Imperial Concubine Consort Li? "
Noble Lady Yuan waved her hand and helplessly said: "No matter how close we are, we are still sisters. In the past, when she was at home, she would fiddle with that sort of thing. The women that father married were all messed with by her. This sort of thing never happens in the palace. Last time, it was her. This time, it's most likely that it's someone else. Didn't our hidden guard tell us about the method of stabbing the little figure. It's exactly the same as the little figures that she's used to doing. Speaking of, hidden guards are also divided into different ranks! If our people wanted to investigate Feng Yu Heng's tent, it would be very difficult. If it was not for her sending that little figure to old second, perhaps we would still be in the dark. "
Yue Xiu nodded, "That's right. That Princess Ji An really is able to keep her composure. She only handed it over to His Highness the second prince to investigate and did not cause a stir with His Majesty."
"This is her being sensible and having a sense of propriety. There will be a large banquet at night. Originally, with Feiyu's matter, His Majesty did not have much interest in it. If she brings this matter up, as I see it, there's no need to go through with the Winter Hunt. We will need to return to the palace tomorrow. Either way, keep a close eye on Consort Li's side. Now that I have been demoted to noble lady, nothing must happen to elder sister. " Although she said this, just as she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, "Hah, speaking of, even if we really do keep an eye on her, what's the point? Based on her personality … before they could even investigate her, she would give herself away. As I saw it, she was flustered during the banquet. She did not even dare raise her head. His Majesty finally spoke to her, yet she was so scared that she knocked over her wine cup. Forget it, forget it. Let's just focus on our own lives! "
The two spoke while walking out of the forest. Just as they were about to reach the edge of the forest, Yue Xiu suddenly tugged at Noble Lady Yuan and quietly said: "Imperial Concubine, take a look. Is there someone standing at the entrance of the forest?"
With her saying this, Noble Lady Yuan was also given a fright. Looking carefully, of course, that was the case! There was a figure standing at the entrance of the forest, and it looked like a girl. Her face turned pale, and her voice trembled a little: "W-what is that?"
Yue Xiu shook her head, "This servant does not know. Was Imperial Concubine discovered when you entered the forest?"
"There shouldn't have been anyone, but I can't look around. It would be hard to avoid being targeted by someone. But even if someone saw me leave the banquet, it's not much of a big deal. What sort of person would be able to follow me all the way here? And it's just a single girl. This courage is truly … ah! "She was suddenly startled," Could it be … her? "
