The Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, had not returned to the capital for a few years. Upon returning, he was beaten, and he was beaten by the citizens.
But he knew that he could not fight back at this sort of time. Because of Feng Yu Heng closing Hundred Herb Hall, he had already incurred the wrath of the citizens. If he took action against the citizens at this sort of time, it was possible that it would lead to chaos. That was not something that anyone could deal with easily.
He sat on his horse and dodged left and right; however, there were more and more citizens that gathered, and the things that they threw became even more varied. There were even some old grannies that began to remove the cloth that bound their feet. The guard had already fallen to the ground while holding his head from the beating. He quickly dismounted from his horse and hid behind it, but the horse had been startled by the beating. It raised its hooves and nearly trampled him to death.
Xuantian Mo was so angry that he nearly coughed up blood. Glancing over, he saw that Feng Yu Heng's group had already stood up and was standing to the side. She was clearly not far away, but she was completely fine. The things that the citizens threw did not even scratch her. Xuantian Mo was frustrated and simply went to stand at Feng Yu Heng's side. It just so happened that a cabbage that had been thrown at him also flew over. Xuantian Mo's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously hid behind Feng Yu Heng. At this time, Feng Yu Heng happened to see the governor, Xu Jing Yuan, rushing over from the other end of the street. She raised the corners of her lips and did not dodge, allowing the cabbage to hit her head on.
When Xu Jing Yuan arrived, he happened to see the Eighth Prince hiding behind Feng Yu Heng. A cabbage had hit Feng Yu Heng's head, causing her hair to become messy. Her jade hairpin was also broken, and she cut a very sorry figure.
At this time, the citizens began to loudly shout: "How is it that His Highness the Eighth Prince can't even compare to a guard? Even the guard knows that he has suffered, yet you hide behind a girl. Could it be that Dashun's Eighth Prince only has this bit of courage? Is this all that he has? "
"That's right! Hiding behind a girl, this sort of person is worthless! "
"Right! 'Useless!' 'Useless!' Useless! "
She shouted again and again, causing Feng Yu Heng to nearly suffer internal injuries from laughing. Xuan Tian Mo also nearly suffered internal injuries from anger. He stood behind Feng Yu Heng and said coldly, "So this is sister-in-law's method?"
Feng Yu Heng pursed her lips and smiled. "Thank you for letting me win!"
"Hmph!" Xuantian Mo walked out from behind her and looked at Xu Jingyuan, who had rushed over. He coldly asked: "Governor, you really came at the right time."
Xu Jing Yuan bowed and saluted: "Ensuring the peace of the capital is this official's responsibility. Naturally, I must appear at the right time."
Xuantian Mo really wanted to ask, "Why didn't you come when these criminals were causing trouble?" But looking at these commoners, there were at least a few hundred people, and at most a few thousand people. If they were all categorized as unruly commoners, even the yamen's prison wouldn't be able to hold them all!
He felt depressed, but he very quickly made a decision. Xuantian Mo deeply understood that in order to obtain the world, he had to obtain the hearts of the people first. Even if he could not obtain the hearts of the people in a short period of time, he could not lose too much. Right now, if he gritted his teeth and wanted to maintain his prestige as a prince, he would be offending nearly a thousand commoners. He could not afford to take this risk.
Suppressing his anger, he took a couple steps forward then turned around. Bowing to Feng Yu Heng, he said: "No matter what is said, today's matter was indeed this prince that offended Imperial Daughter. This prince wanted to make amends long ago, and this prince came over for precisely this reason. But who knew that the manor's newly appointed guard would be so unreasonable and say something that should not have been said. Sister-In-Law is a magnanimous person, so don't argue with eighth brother! Eighth brother will apologize to you here. Later on, I will definitely send a gift to your manor to calm the shock. I hope that sister-in-law will be magnanimous and not argue with eighth brother over today's matter! "
First, it was I, which could be considered lowering himself as a prince. Later on, he brought up sister-in-law and eighth brother, which could be considered as using their relationship as relatives to ask for a favor. This Xuantian Mo could be considered to have put in a lot of effort. Feng Yu Heng thought about it. For the Eighth Prince to be able to do this, it really was not easy. It had to be known that he was a prince. After suffering such a large grievance and being hit on the head with eggs, he was still able to do this. He could be considered a talent. And she couldn't continue to hold on to it under his words, or it would be her fault.
So Feng Yu Heng smiled and returned a bow to Xuantian Mo, saying: "Eighth brother, you are too serious. It was my fault today. I was careless when I walked and offended you. The commoners were also a little impulsive. After all, Heng is a little girl. Perhaps because of this, they acted a little too aggressively. I think with eighth brother's magnanimity, you won't argue with the commoners, right?"
Her words put Xuantian Mo on a higher level. He couldn't make things difficult for the commoners even if he wanted to.
Xuantian Mo smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "Of course, of course." He then turned around and said to the governor: "Everything that happened today was I's fault. If Lord Xu wants to hold me accountable, I want to take responsibility. I hope that Lord Xu will not cause trouble for the commoners."
Xu Jing Yuan nodded, "Many thanks Your Highness the eighth prince for understanding. This official was thinking that if Your Highness the eighth prince must punish someone, there really would be no place to lock them up with so many people. Since Your Highness is magnanimous, then … "He turned around and loudly said to the commoners:" Everyone, disperse! Everyone, disperse! "
When the commoners heard this, they let out a long sigh of relief. It had to be known that regardless of the reason, hitting a prince in the middle of the street was a capital offense! Earlier, they had also lost their heads in anger. In addition to this, they had wanted to hit that guard to vent their anger. Later on, who knew who had led the charge to hit the Eighth Prince. Either way, there were many people, thus they took advantage of the chaos to get some fun. It was only when the governor arrived that they began to feel afraid. At first, they were not worried that they would be held accountable. Now, they finally felt at ease.
Xu Jing Yuan watched the commoners let out a sigh of relief and thought quickly, saying: "Just now, Princess Ji 'an pleaded with His Highness the eighth prince to not argue with you. Why have you not quickly thanked Imperial Daughter!"
The people also heard Feng Yu Heng's words, thus they all kneeled and thanked Feng Yu Heng. This angered Xuantian Mo so much that his face alternated between red and white. It was clearly him that did not argue with them, so how did it become Feng Yu Heng's work?
The commotion finally came to an end. Seeing that the commoners had all left, Xuantian Mo did not want to remain in this place any longer. Looking at the guard that was still lying on the ground, he frankly said to Xu Jing Yuan: "It was this person that insulted Imperial Daughter first, and he even pointed a sword at Imperial Daughter's maidservant. This was not ordered by I. It was his own idea. I do not want this sort of servant. Take him away. Whether you hit or punish him, it's up to you. Even if you kill him, there is no need to report to I. "After saying this, he mounted his horse and left, galloping in the direction of the Sheng Palace.
However, he heard Feng Yu Heng shout from behind: "This imperial daughter will be leaving the capital on the 14th of the first month. Eighth brother, don't forget about the gift that you promised me to suppress my shock."
Xuantian Mo angrily shook his head and splattered his face with egg.
With this commotion, the things could no longer be bought. Feng Yu Heng happily brought Xiang Rong back to the manor. When she returned, she arranged for the chef to make 20 servings of braised pork knuckle the next day. She would be taking them with her on the journey.
On the 13th of the first month, Feng Yu Heng brought Wang Chuan, Huang Quan and Ban Zou to the military camp. Upon arriving at the military camp, she quickly met up with Xuan Tianming. Without another word, the two walked over to the empty tent that Xuan Tianming had prepared and began to take things out of her space.
The guns were given to the Divine Intent Army first, and she was preparing to leave behind some grenades and landmines. Also, some of the gold and silver that she had stolen over the past few days would also be left behind. She would have Xuan Tianming take it with the army. Her space was limited, and she could store all of the things that she had stolen, but because there was already quite a bit stored in the imperial daughter's manor's underground storage, if she wanted to take it away, it would be a little difficult. She left behind a portion for Yao Xian, and she also left some in the Chun Palace; however, she still wanted Xuan Tianming to take away ten chests.
Xuan Tianming watched his wife take out chest after chest of gold and silver, and his heart froze! This damn girl, even a deity descending to the mortal world could not compare to this, right? With this ability, she was just short of turning stone into gold. But thinking about how the people from Eighth Brother's faction had lost all of their wealth in a single night, it was truly satisfying.
Aside from this, Feng Yu Heng also left behind a large amount of medicine. The majority of it was Western medicine, and it was easy to bring along. It would take effect quickly, and it would not take much. It was unlike traditional Chinese medicine. Even if it was a traditional Chinese medicine, it would take ten, six or eight pills at a time, and it would need to be taken three times a day. Like this, it would take up a lot of space. Moreover, when the army was marching to war, even if it was during the process of moving from the capital to the South, it was inevitable that there would be some minor illnesses. The army could not delay the journey because of a few sick people, thus they needed medicine that could quickly treat them. Western medicine was the most suitable.
She left behind a lot of cold medicine and fever medicine, as well as anti-inflammatory medicine and diarrhea medicine. These were all necessary items when going out. In addition, the weather in the South was hot, and it was close to the desert, so there was no winter. There were many mosquitoes and insects, so they needed some mosquito and insect repellent medicine. She brought out some sprays that dealt with this and left them all in the empty tent. She had Xuan Tian Ming take care of them later.
After finally preparing everything that needed to be prepared, Feng Yu Heng let out a long sigh and told Xuan Tianming: "I'll be leaving tomorrow. You don't need to send me off. I'll get up early and leave."
Xuan Tianming shook his head and said: "No, I have to send you off. Don't worry, I have to go to morning court tomorrow. You can leave when I come back. I'll send you off for a while before I can rest assured."
She wanted to say that there was no need, but then she thought about it. After all, he was her fiancé. At this time, he should send her off. If he did not send her off, she was afraid that someone would make an issue out of it. So she no longer argued and only nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll pack everything that needs to be packed. There are also people from Hundred Herb Hall who will be following me. It's also a large caravan. Fortunately, I don't need to use a carriage to carry these things. In addition, there are some things that are inconvenient to carry. I'll just throw them all into my space. It's very convenient. "
Xuan Tianming was still not reassured. After pondering for a while, he simply said: "How about I send you to your fief? After I arrive, I'll hurry back. It won't take more than a few days."
"Absolutely not." Feng Yu Heng bluntly refused, "It will take about half a month for me to get there. I'm afraid that during this time, the war report from the South will arrive. You still have to prioritize national affairs. As for me, you should know that no matter how big the situation is, at least I have a place to hide. No situation can hurt me. "
Xuan Tianming naturally knew that she had a universe space, so he could only nod. After a while, he said in a low voice: "I actually just want to spend more time with you. Once you arrive at your fief, you'll be busy for a while. We won't be able to see each other too soon."
She smiled as she burrowed into his arms, "The future is long. There will be a day when the world is settled. As for you, promise me that you will take care of yourself on the battlefield. You still have so many soldiers, so there's no need to rush forward alone. As a general, commanding is what you should do. "
Xuan Tianming laughed. After fighting so many battles, did he still need a little girl to teach him how to do things? He reached out to pinch this girl's nose and wanted to scold her a few times. At this time, he heard the sound of urgent footsteps outside the tent. Soon, someone stood in front of the tent and anxiously said: "Princess Consort! Quickly go to the back of the mountain to take a look! Something happened over there! "
