"A letter came from the South. Feng Jin Yuan's group of three has begun to live a simple life, and they are still putting on airs. There are already rumors that have spread from Lan Zhou. They say that Princess Ji An has moved to the South with her parents. They also say that Princess Ji An has already annulled her engagement with I. In the future, she will be marrying the Eighth Prince. "He rubbed his nose and was not in a very good mood. "The prefect of Lan Zhou is one of Eighth Brother's people. Every few days, he will visit Feng Jin Yuan's courtyard. To the outside, he says that he is going to visit Princess Ji An."
Feng Yu Heng laughed from hearing this, "Saying it like this, those three are quite good at pretending." She shrugged. "How can they not look alike? Speaking of which, only Fu Ya is fake. The other two are the real father and mother. Forget it, this step was chosen by them. In the future, they will need to suffer the consequences that they deserve. Xuan Tianming, you are telling me these things because you want to ask about my attitude toward Yao shi, right? "
He nodded, "That's right. After all, I need to go to the South first. When the time comes, if those three make any moves, I need to make some preparations. Your attitude toward Yao shi is very important. It will determine whether she lives or dies. " Xuan Tianming spoke very coldly, but it was also very practical, "The chances of them surviving are not high. At the very least, from my perspective, I do not hope for them to continue existing in this world and cause you any trouble in your life."
"Then get rid of them." Feng Yu Heng coldly said: "In the past, when I broke off relations with the Yao manor and Xiang Rong, it was all an act for others to see. The goal was to protect them. But my breaking off relations with Yao shi was sincere. " She did not say anything else. In regards to that mother, aside from her face, there was nothing else about her that made her feel nostalgic. But for that face to do evil to her, she felt disgusted. If it was her mother from her previous life, she definitely would not be like this. "Speaking of, it should be Feng Jin Yuan. Think about it a little more." Feng Yu Heng suddenly recalled something, "The last time I saw Feng Zhao Lian, he specifically mentioned Feng Jin Yuan to me. He still suspected that the other part of Qian Zhou's treasure map was in Feng Jin Yuan's hands. The reason that he had moved to the Feng manor was to make it easier for his hidden guards to enter the manor at any time to investigate; however, they were unable to find anything. He said that if we want that treasure, we need to get some truth from Feng Jin Yuan. I was thinking, either way, we have the other two copies. If the final copy really is with Feng Jin Yuan, it would be a pity not to take it. What do you say? "
Xuan Tianming couldn't help but laugh. "What a miser." Then he scratched her little nose. "Alright, since he has it, I'll let him live."
As the two of them were talking, Yao Xian's voice came from the space. Feng Yu Heng quickly used her consciousness to summon people out. She then handed the injured over to Yao Xian to take care of. She then brought her maidservants and hidden guards and left the tent with Xuan Tianming, quickly rushing toward the capital.
She did not sleep for the entire night. Xuan Tianming suggested that she rest for a day. It would not be too late to leave the next day. She, however, did not agree. She only said that she would be sitting in a carriage either way. If she was tired or sleepy, she could still catch up on sleep in the carriage. Xuan Tianming knew that she was stubborn, thus he did not continue to advise her. He just helped her check over all of the necessities. He also gave some instructions to the people accompanying her. Only then did he relax a little.
This time, Feng Yu Heng brought quite a few people with her. Aside from Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, just the hidden guards brought along nine people. Adding on the guards, there were a total of ten people. They rode on ten fast horses and followed along. In addition, the chef from the manor's Refined Deity Building was also brought along. They also brought along an accountant. The rest were the people from Hundred Herb Hall. Including Wang Lin, there were a total of 20 people.
This was a very large group. Adding on some luggage and necessities, there were a few carriages. After a final count, there were a total of 30 carriages. Xuan Tianming laughed at her for being like a bodyguard. Feng Yu Heng secretly said: "All of the valuables are inside the space. If anyone is blind enough to rob me, then that person will be very unlucky."
In regards to this, Xuan Tianming was completely convinced.
When they left, the entire Yao family came out to send them off. Xiang Rong carried her own bag and followed along. She did not even bring her maidservant, Shan Cha. The young maidservant cried and shouted behind her to come along. In the end, it was Feng Yu Heng who was merciful and allowed her to come along.
Feng Yu Heng did not sit in her imperial carriage. First, it was too conspicuous. Second, it was too luxurious. It was not suitable for traveling long distances. The carriage that she sat in was newly made by Xu shi. Two horses pulled the carriage, and the carriage was very large. Aside from the entrance, there were seats on the other three sides. These seats were all folded. When they were put down, they could be pieced together to form a large bed. The seats were cushions made of rabbit skin. They were directly wrapped around the wooden carriage, and it was very comfortable to sit on. When the bed was set up, it could be used as a mattress. It was soft and warm. There was even a drawer under the seat. There were some snacks and a few blankets in it. Because the capital was still very cold, each carriage had a small stove made of red mud to help keep the people warm.
Xuan Tianming was very satisfied with this new carriage. For the first time, he thanked Xu shi, which caused Xu shi to feel very moved.
Feng Yu Heng was leaving the capital today, and there were quite a few people who came to send her off. Xuan Tianming and the people of the Yao manor could be considered family. Not to mention this for the time being, An shi naturally came to send her daughter off. She did not come empty-handed. She knew that she could not afford to send anything nice. Feng Yu Heng also did not lack anything nice, so she made a lot of pastries overnight. Carrying two large baskets, she sent them over for the sisters to eat on the way.
Other than this, the eldest prince, the second prince, the Sixth Prince and the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, all came to send her off. These were all people who had friendly relations with Feng Yu Heng. Xiangrong even secretly said to Feng Yu Heng: "His Highness the fourth prince also wanted to come, but he could not leave the manor."
Feng Yu Heng helplessly smiled bitterly. She really did not have any friendly relations with the fourth prince. They could even be considered enemies in the past. As for Xiangrong, she actually left with her. Who knew how the fourth prince would react in the manor.
Of course, this was someone else's matter. She could not care less about it. She also chatted with the other princes for a while. The eldest prince secretly stuffed some banknotes into her hands, fearing that she would be tight on money while away from home. But in truth, he was clear that this younger sister was not tight on money at all. Not to mention the fact that old ninth would definitely give her enough, but she herself was also an expert at accumulating wealth. Just the theft case in the capital, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it could not be unrelated to this younger sister, right?
The second prince did not have much to give. He only gave her a painting that Xuan Feiyu had asked him to bring. He said that it was drawn by that child. The Sixth Prince, however, was a little more special. He gave a book to Feng Yu Heng. That book was handwritten, and the ink was very new. Thinking about it, it must have been written recently. Feng Yu Heng guessed that it should have been written by the Sixth Prince himself; however, she did not know what was written on it. Now was not the time to look at it. She could only express her thanks and did not say anything else.
The princes did not send them off too far. They only watched the carriage leave from the imperial daughter's manor. Following them to the city gates were the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming, and the Seventh Prince, Xuan Tianhua.
Feng Yu Heng and Xiang Rong were in the same carriage. Wang Chuan, Huang Quan and Xiang Rong's maidservant, Shan Cha, were also in the carriage. When they arrived at the city gates, they heard the sounds of people outside. It seemed that there were more and more people coming to send them off. Feng Yu Heng was puzzled; however, Xiang Rong could not hold back and lifted the curtain to look outside. Looking was fine, but she was given a fright: "Second sister, there are so many citizens outside. They are on both sides of the street. I can't even see the end of them!"
With her saying this, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan also lifted the curtain to take a look. Sure enough, a large group of citizens had rushed over to send them off. Everyone held a bamboo basket in their hands. There were some filled with steamed buns, some with eggs, and there were even some with potatoes. They weren't very valuable, but they were the best things that these poor commoners could afford to give away.
Feng Yu Heng also came over to take a look. Aside from the poor citizens, there were also some wealthy people participating. The things that they were holding were better. There were some that were holding cloth, some that were holding jewelry, and there were even some that were holding banknotes.
Regardless of what they brought, the people that were sending them off were all saying the same thing: "Sending off Princess Ji 'an!"
"Imperial Daughter, you absolutely must not forget the citizens of the capital. You must come back!"
"Imperial Daughter, don't worry. We will help you protect the imperial daughter's manor. We definitely will not allow anyone to cause trouble in the imperial daughter's manor!"
"Imperial Daughter, please accept a bit of our sincerity. Take it with you to eat along the way. We are all thinking of you!"
One voice after another was filled with sincerity. Feng Yu Heng could no longer sit still in the carriage. She called for the carriage to stop and walked out.
Xuan Tianming quickly came over to help her down. Then, the two of them stood together facing the crowd. She didn't know what to say. There were too many people, and if she spoke, her voice would be drowned out. Feng Yu Heng thought for a bit, then simply bowed deeply to the citizens. She used her actions to express her inner thoughts.
After this bow, the citizens all began to cry. Regardless of whether they were men or women, rich or poor, they all knelt on the ground and sobbed. Over the past two years, Princess Ji 'an's contributions to the capital and to the Dashun Empire were all imprinted in the hearts of the people. Even the wealthy and noble people who normally looked down on everyone else would always remember how Hundred Herb Hall had cured their illnesses and their family members' illnesses time and time again. They also remembered how their old mothers no longer needed to drink that bitter medicinal soup when they fell sick. Feng Yu Heng's good deeds were directed towards the citizens. However, with Feng Yu Heng's departure, the citizens felt that their living standards, which had improved over the past two years, had suddenly fallen back down.
In the future, they would have to continue drinking that bitter medicinal soup. Many people thought in their hearts that they must not fall sick, but they must not lose their lives!
The people sobbed as they gave Feng Yu Heng gifts. When Feng Yu Heng returned to the carriage, she didn't accept any of the gifts from the citizens. She only expressed her gratitude. As for whether she would return, she left a sentence: "That depends on whether the person who chased me away is willing to let me go."
She, Feng Yu Heng, had never been a saint. If there was an opportunity to take advantage of something, she would definitely not miss it. As for being able to mobilize the citizens to oppose the eighth prince, perhaps she was the only one in the world that could do such a thing.
When the carriage left the city, Feng Yu Heng didn't sit in the carriage. Instead, she rode with Xuan Tianming.
Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua accompanied the carriages until they reached a fork in the road ten li south of the capital. Xuan Tianming pointed to the road to the west and said: "Keep going that way. You'll reach a small county when it's dark. You can rest there today."
Xuan Tianhua also said: "That small county is called Baishui County. There's only one inn there. I've already sent people on horses to help you book the entire inn. It's enough for you to stay."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "Seventh Brother, you're too overbearing. If we book it all, where will the others stay?"
