The grave that Xuan Tianming had set up for Yao shi could not be considered grand, but it was still exquisite. The place was chosen by Feng Jin Yuan. It faced the water, and there were trees on both sides. In a place like the desert, being able to choose this sort of place was already very rare.
Ban Zou rode on his camel to protect her at her side. While they ran through the desert, he advised her: "If it's truly hard to bear, just cry. If you don't, just think about how she treated you in the past and why she died. In the end, this disaster was her own choice. If she had been fine in the capital, if she had not randomly taken in a daughter, if she had not brought Fu Ya to the South to impersonate you, she would not have suffered such a disaster. Master, you do not owe her. There is no need for you to feel guilty. "
While they spoke, the two had already stopped in front of the oasis. Feng Yu Heng also thought that she would cry, but she found that when she truly faced the very eye-catching grave, her heart was abnormally calm. Even the feeling that had arisen from what had happened to Yao shi did not appear.
She got off the camel and walked over to the grave. Only when she stood in front of Yao shi's grave did she reply to what Ban Zou had said earlier. She said: "I have never felt guilty toward her. As her daughter, I believe that I have already done my utmost. But Ban Zou, you know that she must be my mother. This person and my body have an inseparable blood relationship. Even if our feelings can be severed, our blood relationship will continue. She gave life to this body. To this body, there must always be a heart of gratitude. "
Ban Zou was dazed from hearing this. What body? She spoke as though Feng Yu Heng was not part of the same body as her. They were two separate existences, but how could that be possible.
He did not continue on this topic and took a few steps forward. Kneeling in front of Yao shi's grave, he kowtowed three times. After all, she was his master's mother. No matter what was said, he had to kowtow three times.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yu Heng seemed to have recalled something, thus she also kneeled and kowtowed three times to the grave. When she looked up again, she saw her and Feng Zirui's names on the tombstone. She was even more impressed by Xuan Tianming's thoughtfulness. Even if she was not the original, Zirui was still Yao shi's son. This was something that could not be changed. Leaving Zirui's position on the tombstone could be considered as a show of filial piety.
She muttered to herself, but the words that came out of her mouth made Ban Zou even more confused. He heard Feng Yu Heng say: "That year, in the mountains of the Northwest, I woke up and learned about this world. I learned about Xuan Tianming. I also learned about mother and Zirui. I promised her that I would avenge her and clean up all the people who had caused you suffering. I always thought that I was right, allowing you to take back the position of head wife of the Feng family. I also allowed you to take the initiative to divorce Feng Jin Yuan from that position. I gave you the title of first rank noble lady and gave Zirui a great future. I thought that you would be happy because if you wanted, you could have lived a peaceful and prosperous life in my imperial daughter's manor; however, who knew … that you would no longer recognize me as your daughter. "
She spoke with a bit of loneliness; however, she did not cry. It was as though all the tears that should have been shed had already been shed. Now, there was only calmness left. It was as though Yao shi had already passed away many years ago, just like her mother from her previous life.
"It was my negligence." She sighed, "It turns out that as a mother, you understand your own daughter so well. You have such a deep feeling. I thought that you had accepted Feng Yu Heng's change; however, who knew that it was me who thought myself clever and deceived myself. Your heart was like a clear mirror. You just watched me perform one play after another like a clown. Thinking about it now, it's truly laughable. But no matter how laughable it is, this play has already been performed to this day. It has been performed from the capital to the South and into Gu Shu's territory. I do not have any room to turn back, nor have I ever planned on turning back. Xuan Tianming is still waiting for me up ahead. Since I have come, I will accompany him to the end. Rest in peace. As long as I am still in the South, I will frequently come to visit you. Even after I return to the capital, I will frequently come to pay respects. The matters of the world have always been difficult to predict. Perhaps this is our fate, and it is also the shallow fate between you and me. "
After she finished speaking, she stood up and took one final glance at the gravestone. She then turned around with a resolute expression.
However, she saw a man in purple standing not too far behind her, looking at her. The sand in the desert rose, blowing his ink-black hair back and forth. It was a bit desolate.
Feng Yu Heng's nose choked up. She did not cry in front of Yao shi's grave; however, when she saw this person, she could not control her emotions. Her small mouth twitched, and her face was filled with grief.
Xuan Tianming quickly stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace, but Ban Zou's figure flickered and disappeared without a trace. Only the two people who had been hugging each other at the oasis remained. The sobbing gradually grew louder and finally turned into wails …
She did not remember how she had cried until she fainted in Xuan Tianming's embrace. She only knew that she had had a very, very long dream. In the dream, she had returned to her previous life, to the days when her mother was still alive. The face that was identical to Yao shi's was standing in front of her with a smile. Her belly was perfectly round, and she said to her with a happy expression: "Heng Heng, guess if the one in mother's belly is a little brother or a little sister?"
She giggled and replied: "Grandfather already secretly told me. It's a little brother!"
Mother's smile became even sweeter: "That's right! It's a very cute little brother. Heng Heng must dote on your little brother in the future. "
She truly doted on her little brother, but she never thought that when her little brother was born, her mother would never see him again.
This dream passed in a trance. Immediately following this, she saw a face that was identical to her own. She was wearing ancient clothing and coarse gray clothes. She was twelve years old, and her face was filled with stubbornness.
She subconsciously called out: "You're Feng Yu Heng!"
That person nodded. Her expression was indifferent. There was no sadness, and there was even less joy. In fact, when she told the other person that Yao shi had already died, that Feng Yu Heng only coldly nodded. She did not see any change in her expression. However, she said: "I don't blame you. If a person can't adjust their attitude and way of doing things according to the situation, then the end result will be being eliminated by this era. You've already done very well. Thank you. "
She woke up with this thank you, and her body was covered in a cold sweat.
She had been placed in the courtyard that Xuan Tianming lived in in Sha Ping City. When she sat up, Wang Chuan heard the noise from outside and quickly entered. Seeing that she had woken up, he was very happy and quickly asked: "Young miss, are you hungry? You slept too soundly and have not woken up for two days. "
"Two days? That long? "Feng Yu Heng was a little dazed then asked:" Where is Xuan Tianming? "
"His Highness went to the military camp. It's just outside Sha Ping City's southern gate. It's not far." Wang Chuan went forward and helped her up, allowing her to lean against the bed. Only then did he quickly go outside to have a servant bring in some congee.
Feng Yu Heng did not have much of an appetite, but she still felt hungry. She got up and ate two bowls then had Wang Chuan take care of washing up. After she finished tidying up, she left the courtyard; however, she heard many of the soldiers that were stationed here talk about Feng Jin Yuan.
She felt that it was fresh and sat down to listen for a while. These were all soldiers that had come from the military camp outside the capital, and they were all very familiar with her. They recounted Feng Jin Yuan's recent actions to her in detail; however, this caused Feng Yu Heng to frown.
She asked Wang Chuan: "Feng Jin Yuan has changed. Do you believe it?"
Wang Chuan said: "In truth, just hearing it like this, I don't believe it, but during the two days that young miss was unconscious, this servant went to the courtyard that he was living in and personally saw that person fall ill in bed. He also said a few words, and I am a bit convinced that he really did come to a realization. Unfortunately … "Wang Chuan paused for a moment," I fear that no matter how much he comes to his senses, it's pointless. He is very ill. As for whether or not he can be cured, this servant does not feel too optimistic. How about young miss go take a look? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Then let's go take a look!"
When she arrived, Feng Jin Yuan had just finished taking a pill. The soldier that had brought the medicine said to him: "This medicine was saved by us brothers for you. It was given to us by imperial daughter before we left the capital. We all brought some with us in case we needed it. The general said that imperial daughter will be arriving very quickly. He had us brothers that did not suffer from heat exhaustion or have already recovered give you some of the medicine. When imperial daughter arrives, we can replenish it. "
Over the past two days, Feng Jin Yuan's breathing had been a little rough. After taking the medicine, he was out of breath for a while. Only then did he anxiously ask: "Did his Highness say when Miss Heng will be arriving? Will she arrive within two days? Can I have his Highness send a letter to Miss Heng to have her come quickly. I fear that if she comes any later, I will not be able to see her. Two days, at most two days. I know my own body. After two days, I definitely won't be able to hold on. "
The soldier snorted and said with a bit of emotion: "Say, look at you. You're already quite an adult, so why can't you even understand this bit of reasoning? Our imperial daughter has so much ability. Even if you are an idiot, you should understand that this second daughter is the most reliable! She was actually able to do so many excessive things in the past? " While he spoke, he shook his head, "Really, a perfectly good family. We all feel that it's a pity for you. Hah! Forget it, forget it. I won't hide it from you. In truth, imperial daughter arrived two days ago. She first went to Lady Yao's grave and fainted from crying. She was carried back by the general. If you really want to see imperial daughter, just wait a little longer. "
"She … she already came?" Feng Jin Yuan was a little unable to believe it, but he immediately reacted and became emotional. But hearing that she had fainted from crying, he began to feel anxious. Grabbing the soldier, he asked: "Did she just faint from crying? Is it serious? Why has she not woken up for two days? Was there a doctor to take a look? That disciple of hers, Song Kang, is very skilled in medicine. Have him take a look at Heng! "As he spoke, he was still worried and wanted to get out of bed to take a look for himself.
Unfortunately, his body was too weak, and the heat had invaded his body. In addition, he had refused to take the medicine at the beginning, so he had missed the best opportunity for treatment. Now, he looked like a withered balloon, and his whole body was like a deflated balloon. Every day, he would lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With this, his feet touched the ground; however, who knew that his legs would no longer be able to stand, as he fell to the ground. The soldier went to support him. At this time, a voice came from behind: "Many thanks, little brother. It would be better if I did it!"
