Chapter 084

After Feng Wanhua spoke, Jiashan finally raised her head and looked at Feng Wanhua carefully.

Feng Wanhua has a white face, a small oval face, and a very round nose. This kind of appearance is more delicate than heroic.

However, she herself is probably not a heroic person.

Jiashan looked away and said with a faint smile, "It's not that I can teach you anything. But I have a few questions that I want to ask you."

Feng Wanhua's lips moved almost imperceptibly.

Jiashan leaned back on a large pillow embroidered with red gold, with a smile on his face that never changed.

She deliberately tried to test Feng Wanhua. She kept observing Feng Wanhua's expression and said calmly, "To be honest, I'm not a saint, nor am I generous enough. If it's not necessary, I really don't want to deal with you."

"Do you understand?" Jiashan raised his eyebrows slightly. His movements seemed nonchalant, but the pride engraved in his bones was naturally revealed in his every move.

Feng Wanhua's eyes fell on Jiashan's beautiful face for a moment before slowly moving away. She moved her lips and said, "I understand."

Feng Wanhua forced a smile and said, "From the day the princess' marriage changed and the day the fourth prince's eyes were able to recover, I understood."

Jiashan looked at her deeply, knowing that both he and she had seen through each other's cards long ago.

Somehow, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "He is indeed a smart man."

"Not as delicate and exquisite as the princess." Feng Wanhua looked at her and said.

Jiashan smiled and said, "Don't say too much polite words."

She still had a smile on her face, her voice was clear and gentle, but her eyes suddenly became darker. She said, "Would you like to tell me what you meant by your words that day in the Qin Palace?"

Jiashan asked politely, but Feng Wanhua knew from her expression that she would not allow herself to say she was unwilling.

Feng Wanhua did not answer directly, but raised her head and looked out the car curtain.

At this time, two carriages were driving slowly out of Wuhua Temple, one in front and one behind.

The driver drove steadily, without much shaking. The bluestone path beside us had long since cleared away the languor of the last few winters, and had become a scene of dead trees coming back to life in spring, with green trees forming a shadow, attracting the weary birds to stop and rest.

Feng Wanhua's eyes lingered on this beautiful spring day. She said, "Princess, you were born in a peaceful and prosperous era. You probably have never seen a scene where people are living in misery."

"But I have seen it." Feng Wanhua's face was calm and her eyes were as bright as ink.

She said slowly, "I have seen refugees suffering from hunger and cold, I have seen frontiers frequently invaded by the Turks, and I have seen counties and cities filled with starving people when the harvest was bad."

“So, what I am going to say to the princess next is all to prevent this kind of scene from happening again in the world.” Feng Wanhua said slowly.

Jiashan raised her eyebrows slightly, suppressed the slight surprise and shock in her heart, and said calmly: "I ask myself, I don't have the ability to save the world."

"You may not have it," Feng Wanhua paused and said softly, "but your husband does."

Jiashan didn't expect that she would take the initiative to mention Zhan Yue. Just as he was about to observe Feng Wanhua's expression carefully, she turned her head away in time.

Feng Wanhua concentrated slightly, her tone remained the same as before, and her mentality did not seem to be affected by Zhan Yue.

She said: "In the third year of Xian'an, the northwest was lost and Marquis Anding died in battle on the frontier. It was Zhan Yanqing, then the Left Commander-in-Chief, who led the remaining troops and defeated the Turkic Yeli Khan. It took him two years to recover the lost territory."

"In the fifth year of Xian'an," Feng Wanhua turned her eyes away and said lightly, "The King of Qin took advantage of the country's weakness and raised an army under the banner of 'cleansing the emperor's entourage'. It was also your son-in-law who sent troops to suppress it."

Xian'an was the reign title after Zhao Youcheng ascended the throne, and Jiashan would not forget it. She just didn't expect that so many things would happen after her death.

What was even more unexpected was that Zhan Yue actually shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country and the family on his own.

Jiashan was both moved and proud. She asked, "Has the suppression been successful?"

Feng Wanhua smiled and replied, "It should have been successful."

"Should?" Jiashan was a little surprised by her ambiguous attitude and asked without thinking.

Feng Wanhua lowered her eyelashes and replied calmly, "I accidentally fell into their trap. In order not to drag him down, I committed suicide in the palace."

"It's a pity that I couldn't see the day when this disaster was settled." Inside the carriage, the light and shadows were dim, and a light pale glow appeared on Feng Wanhua's face.

Jiashan didn't know that Feng Wanhua died in this way, and she couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart. She looked at Feng Wanhua motionlessly, and after a long silence, Jiashan said solemnly: "It's hard for you."

Feng Wanhua was slightly stunned. She said calmly, "It's not difficult. It's a worthy death."

Hearing Feng Wanhua say "it was a worthy death", Jiashan couldn't help but become serious.

"Honestly," Feng Wanhua did not notice Jiashan's change of mood. She spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, trying to sound as frank as possible, "The princess is very honored to be loved by such a person."

Her eyes were dim, and her words seemed to contain unfinished feelings. Even though she had tried to hide it, Jiashan still heard it. At this moment, Jiashan didn't know what to say.

Feng Wanhua, on the other hand, lowered her head after she finished speaking, and stared straight at the corner of her imperial dress. She said, "I believe that after hearing what I have said, the princess will definitely not let the human world fall into purgatory again."

Feng Wanhua's facial features gradually became clearer under the shadow of the sun. She had delicate features and eyebrows. "There is one more thing. I'm sure the princess would also like to know."

Jiashan had a premonition in his mind, staring at her with long eyes: "What?"

"When I was held captive, I heard the nightmare of the Princess of Qin," Feng Wanhua said softly, her throat moving, her cheeks moist, "The Princess of Qin said, 'It's not me who hurt your eyes.'"

Feng Wanhua sighed secretly: "I personally think that it may be related to the Fourth Prince."

The light in the carriage gradually dimmed, and Jiashan's radiant and beautiful face turned cold.

It turned out to be the Princess of Qin, is it her?

What kind of hatred do the Queen Mother and Yuan Kang have against her? That would make her do such a cruel thing?!

Jiashan felt very complicated, after all, this was a result that was completely beyond her expectations.

Even if the King of Qin and his wife had rebellious intentions, Yuankang had not yet been born that year. Even if they were prepared for a rainy day, they would not have taken action against their pregnant mother.

Jiashan tightly grasped the knot of love in his hand, recalling every moment he had with the Princess of Qin.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, as if it had been hit by something. Jiashan and Feng Wanhua were caught off guard and almost fell off their seats.

Jiashan's mind was drawn away. She held onto the carriage wall and sat down. Just as she was about to open the curtain, she heard the driver's voice outside: "Princess, we are unlucky. We have encountered a group of bandits. Please stay in the carriage with Miss Feng and don't come out."

Jiashan's brows tightened. Although their carriages had not yet completely entered the capital, this was still the capital of the emperor. How could there be bandits?

Is this a coincidence or someone designed it?

Jiashan was not worried about her own safety. Zhan Yue had secretly arranged for Chen Chu to stay with her yesterday. If Chen Chu was not capable of protecting her, Zhan Yue would not have entrusted her protection to him.

In addition to Chen Chu, she is also accompanied by the guards of the Princess's Mansion. It will only take a short time to deal with this group of bandits.

He was already in a bad mood because of Yuankang's matter, and now he encountered an unexpected situation. Jiashan raised his eyelids slightly, and there was a slight anger burning in his eyes.

About a cup of tea later, the driver's voice was heard again outside the carriage.

"Don't worry, Princess. Only two of them are left alive. The rest have all been killed. I will send them to the Nine Gates Admiral."

Jiashan hummed lightly and did not express any opinion on his actions.

She slowly opened the car curtain and said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Feng Wanhua followed and said, "I'll go too."

The driver looked embarrassed and hesitated to say, "It's not clean down there. I'm afraid it scared the princess."

"It's okay," Jiashan's face was as cold as ice, and she said in a serious tone, "I have to see what the bandits who dare to cause trouble in the capital look like."

Seeing that he couldn't stop Jiashan, the driver had to bring a footstool and carefully let Su Yu and others help her get off.

Jiashan slowly got off the carriage, followed closely by Feng Wanhua.

However, before they had taken a few steps, Feng Wanhua's voice came from behind them: "Princess——"

Jiashan turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"You," Feng Wanhua's lips trembled, and she said, "There seems to be blood on your skirt."

Jiashan frowned and lifted the hem of her skirt to look at it in confusion.

Su Yu and Dan Cui were even more frightened. They quickly went behind Jia Shan and carefully examined her.

However, Dancui, who had sharp eyes, discovered the bloodstain first. Her heart immediately hung high in the air. She pointed at the bloodstain with wide eyes and said to Jiashan, "Princess, it's real!"

Su Yu was startled and hurriedly held Jia Shan's arm, and said anxiously: "Princess, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? I will help you to rest in the carriage."

They were all panicked, but Jiashan, the real owner, looked extremely calm.

She knew better than them that although the carriage had just collided, she was definitely not injured.

Suddenly thinking of another possibility, Jiashan suddenly felt horrified. She covered her belly fiercely and bit her lip and said, "Let's go back to the farm near the suburbs of Beijing first."

"Call a doctor right away," Jiashan's face turned pale. She clutched her sleeves tightly and said repeatedly, "Right away!"

"yes!"

Soon someone rushed to call a doctor. At the same time, Chen Chu immediately sent someone to the Five Army Commander's Office to report the matter to Zhan Yue.

I heard that he encountered bandits on the way back home. Zhan Yue's eyes were cold. He stood with his hands behind his back and asked the visitor: "What's the situation now?"

"The bandits have been mostly killed, with only a few left alive," the visitor replied respectfully, "and the princess has sent someone to deliver them to Lord Wei, the governor of the Nine Gates."

Hearing that Jiashan was fine, Zhan Yue's expression finally eased a little. A dark light flashed in his dark eyes: "Tell Lord Wei to give me an explanation."

"yes."

The visitor lowered his head, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and said hesitantly, "There is one more thing."

Zhan Yue raised his head, staring at him with his dark eyes.

The visitor felt even more pressured by such a gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, "Although the princess is not injured, but..."

"But, I'm bleeding." The man finally finished his words in one go.

Zhan Yue's slender fingers hidden in his sleeves silently tightened, and his face turned from pale to blue in an instant. His voice trembled for a rare moment: "Take me there."
