Feng Yuheng blinked: "Seventh Brother, please ask him not to cut off Wangchuan's arms, and I will tell you. If you want to catch up with Manghuangji, you have to be quick."
Xuan Tianming stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "Have you learned to negotiate with me?"
She giggled, and the pinch didn't hurt at all, but it was a little ambiguous and caring. "I really don't blame them, don't be angry!" Then she looked at Xuan Tianhua and said, "There is a secret room under the bed in the Feng family's ancestral home. After I found out that there was something wrong with the candle, I got off the bed and hid inside, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I heard Seventh Brother talking, so I crawled out."
Xuan Tianhua looked at her but smiled without saying anything.
Where did the secret room under the bed in the Feng family's ancestral home come from? How could he not know about the place he had searched personally? He just didn't want to tell her. Since this girl wanted to keep a little secret of her own, then let her be!
He could only sigh and wonder, no wonder Xuan Tianming, who had always been willful and reckless, doted on this girl so much. It turned out that it felt so good to truly love and pamper someone.
"If the secret guards can help like them, what's the point of me coming here?" Xuan Tianming was very concerned about this matter. "How about I replace you with someone else and let Bai Ze follow you?"
Outside the carriage, Bai Ze lifted a corner of the curtain and poked his head in: "Master, I couldn't even get you out of the mountains in the northwest safely, how can I protect the princess!"
Feng Yuheng nodded and said, "Yes, I don't want such a stupid secret guard."
Bai Ze waved his fist at Feng Yuheng, and the curtain was lowered again in an instant.
"Xuan Tianming!" Feng Yuheng simply put on a stern face, "I said I like Wangchuan Huangquan to be around me all day, and I like Banzou to argue with me. Do you really want to drive the person I like away from me? I haven't married you yet, and you are so overbearing? Then I won't marry you! You can take everything back."
Xuan Tianming raised his eyebrows. Did the little girl get angry? Did she think he was afraid of her?
"...Then I'll listen to you!" He was really afraid of her.
Xuan Tianhua, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but chuckle, then nodded at Feng Yuheng, his eyes full of approval.
Soon, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the food has been bought back."
Feng Yuheng's eyes lit up, and he rushed to speak: "Quick! Bring it in! I'm starving!"
The people outside were slightly startled, then lifted the curtain and entered the carriage. The moment he saw Feng Yuheng, the usually cold-blooded, cold-hearted, and cold-hearted Ban Zou suddenly felt a sour nose. He put the several large bags of food in his hand on the table, stepped back a few steps, and knelt down with a plop: "I have failed in my duty, please punish me, master."
Feng Yuheng looked at Ban Zou and felt that the boy had become noticeably thinner in the past few days. He also looked much darker and his hair was not as neat as before. He seemed to have aged instantly.
She said, "Banzo, keep your head up."
Ban Zou was stunned for a moment and refused to do as he was told.
Feng Yuheng was a little angry, "Since you call me master, why don't you even raise your head when I ask you to?"
Ban Zou hesitated for a while, and after a while, he finally raised his head.
Feng Yuheng clearly saw that there was a scar on his face out of nowhere.
The scar was obviously a recent one, at least two inches long. The wound had not yet healed, and the skin and flesh were turned inside out, oozing thick blood, which looked shocking.
Feng Yuheng was also stunned. After looking at him for a long time, he asked him again: "Who could actually hurt you?"
Ban walked away with his head down and said nothing.
Xuan Tianming pulled the little girl back into his arms and unpacked her food while saying, "He scratched it himself. He said that if you are not willing to forgive him this time, he, Wangchuan Huangquan and the other two will die to pay for their sins. If you are willing to forgive him, this scar is a lesson he gave himself."
"Are you stupid?" Feng Yuheng was speechless. "Do all you men like to play this game? Whenever you encounter something, you take a knife and cut yourself. It's fun?"
Xuan Tianming curled his lips: "That's definitely boring."
"Why row if it's boring?"
"He's stupid."
The princess asked and answered, but suddenly the waiter sniffed, turned his head away, raised his hand and quickly wiped his face.
Feng Yuheng was filled with emotion. Once upon a time, he was such a proud secret guard. She had never seen anyone who could be Ban Zou's opponent. With him by her side, she would feel safe no matter where she went. He would often quarrel with her and make fun of her from time to time, but Feng Yuheng knew that Ban Zou was really good to her and really protected her with all his heart. If Ban Zou hadn't been there, she would have been in danger just by the incident at Pudu Temple.
"Ban Zou." She called him, "It's not your fault this time. I hid myself and didn't want to be discovered. You don't need to hurt yourself, let alone give up your life. The same goes for Wangchuan and Huangquan. Your body is given by your parents. Even if your parents are gone, you shouldn't despise your life so much. Everyone is equal, whether it's a king or a commoner. As long as it doesn't violate the law, no one in this world should dominate the lives of others. I don't care if this theory works in other places, but at least you follow me, this is how it works here. What's more, I treat you, Huangquan and Wangchuan as my relatives, not servants."
Her words not only made Ban Zou feel bewildered, but also made Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua think deeply.
Everyone is equal?
How is that possible! This is completely different from the ideas they have been taught since childhood.
The world must be divided into classes, otherwise how could there be royal power? How could there be rich and poor, noble and humble?
Ban Zou didn't dare to agree with her words, but he was deeply moved. He knocked his head heavily to the ground and said, "Thank you, Master, for not killing me."
Feng Yuheng sighed helplessly. It was too difficult to talk about equality with the nobles under the feudal system.
"Get up quickly." She said to Ban Zou, "I don't have any medicine on hand right now. When we return to the capital, I will personally treat the scars on your face and try to leave as few marks as possible."
Ban Zou scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "No need, I hardly appear in front of people anyway, no one will see me."
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I'll find you a wife sooner or later."
Ban Zou opened his mouth in shock. Even Xuan Tianming asked her helplessly, "Is it possible to get such good treatment just by following you?"
She nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, not only do they want to marry a wife, but they also want to give red envelopes. Well..." She held her head, "Let me eat something first, or I'll faint again if I'm hungry."
Xuan Tianming watched her dotingly as she wolfed down several packets of food, occasionally handing her a sip of water and helping her wipe the corners of her lips.
Feng Yuheng never asked which direction the carriage was going. She only remembered that it seemed to be going back to the capital. As for whether it was going back to the capital, she didn't care at all. With Xuan Tianming around, she just followed wherever they went. She didn't need to spend any more time thinking about it. He could arrange everything properly.
She knew that this was trust and this was peace of mind.
Feng Yuheng lost too much energy, so he ate and slept. In a daze, he heard Xuan Tianming seemed to be following him and saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. When he woke up, he was awakened by the noise outside.
When he opened his eyes, he was still in Xuan Tianming's arms. The carriage curtain was not opened, and someone outside was shouting at the carriage at the top of his voice - "Your Highness, Bu Cong only has one question for you. Was Ah Heng really burned to death in Fengtong County?"
Feng Yuheng frowned, Bu Cong?
Xuan Tianming sensed her emotions, and without lowering his head, he placed his fingers accurately on her forehead, gently untying the knot. Then he spoke loudly to the outside of the carriage, "Whatever you heard is what it is. If you don't believe it, go check it yourself. I have no obligation to be your messenger."
The people outside the car were furious and roared like wild animals, startling...
Birds flew and beasts ran everywhere.
Feng Yuheng looked at Xuan Tianming in surprise. Is she dead?
Xuan Tianming gave her a comforting smile, helped her up and sat her next to him, and said to the outsiders: "If you have the time to yell, why don't you go to Fengtong County and take a look. I just came back from there. Tsk tsk, the Feng family really doesn't care about their second daughter."
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is just going to let the Feng family go like this?" Bu Cong simply didn't believe that the Ninth Prince could remain so calm even though his fiancée was burned to death.
"Whether I let the Feng family go or not is my own business. It is not your turn to question me. Bu Cong, get out of the way. If you keep talking nonsense, I will let the cavalry and this carriage trample you forward."
"You dare?"
"Humph!" Xuan Tianming was amused. "Why would this prince be afraid? Also, this prince wants to ask, Princess Yu was murdered, why are you so anxious? Didn't the people of the Bu family keep saying that they want to blame Princess Yu for the death of the Shangshu? Why? In just a few days, the tide has changed?"
Bu Cong was speechless because of him.
"That's enough." Xuan Tianming said the last sentence, "I have already pointed out the way for you. It's up to you how to go. Bai Ze, let's go."
Bai Ze outside agreed, cracked the whip, and drove the carriage forward.
Then there was a burst of ghost screaming outside. Although it was the carriage that hit the people brought by Bu Cong, Bu Cong didn't say another word.
Feng Yuheng really wanted to lift the curtain of the car window to see what Bu Cong looked like, but she felt that it would not be good with Xuan Tianming around. Even though she was anxious, she had no choice but to give up.
Xuan Tianhua took the initiative to speak and solved another doubt of hers: "We spread the news along the way, saying that the second daughter of the Feng family was burned to death in the ancestral house when she returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors."
"Why?" She was puzzled. "I'm still alive."
"But apart from us, who else knows that you are still alive?" Xuan Tianming winked at her, "Sometimes you have to face death in order to know how people with ulterior motives will react at such times."
Xuan Tianhua continued, “For example, how the Feng family plans to end it, for example, how angry Bu Cong will be, and for example…”
"You have to teach your father a lesson and give him some trouble." Xuan Tianming took over the conversation. "Besides, it would be bad for your father to not show any appreciation for your survival."
Feng Yuheng curled her lips: "You have even included your own father in your calculations."
Xuan Tianming did not comment, "Why not?"
Feng Yuheng said: "In fact, the emperor has already done a lot of things. He gave me the Phoenix Hairpin and the Houyi Bow. Although I understand that this is also a test for me to see if I have the ability to keep these two things, I think it is possible. I believe I can keep them, so that is the grace given to me by the emperor."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "It's a good thing that you can think this way. Those two things can naturally lead to those who are interested. Just wait and see, the days ahead will become more and more exciting."
Xuan Tianhua watched them talking, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, but worry covered his brows. He said quietly: "Bu Cong holds the military power in the east. It seems that the Bu family is still powerful, but in fact it is not a good thing. Perhaps, that is the source of the disaster that will bring genocide to the Bu family in the future."
