Feng Fendai then realized that her second sister's sudden brilliant smile was not for her at all. There was probably only one person in the world who could make her second sister smile like that, and he was the one that worried her the most - Xuan Tianming.
Feng Fendai turned back tremblingly, and sure enough, a spacious carriage had its curtains lifted. Inside, a man was sitting. He was wearing a dark purple winter robe and a golden mask, with a faint purple spot of light between his eyebrows. Who else could it be but Xuan Tianming!
She wanted to kneel down and pay homage, but she couldn't bear to take her eyes away. She just stared at the people in the carriage, with huge waves in her heart that could not calm down for a long time.
Feng Yuheng looked at Xuan Tianming's two hands impatiently grasping the whip again, and then shook his head helplessly, reminding: "Fourth sister, if you don't want to get a whip on your face, you'd better take your eyes back."
Fen Dai was startled and immediately realized that she had lost her composure, but she was not so confident that Xuan Tianming knew that she liked him and would definitely not whip her in the face. So she continued to look stubbornly at the face covered by the golden mask, completely ignoring the whip that Xuan Tianming had raised in his hand.
The ministers and the third prince Xuan Tianye who had sent Feng Jinyuan away had dispersed early in the morning, while the Feng family members were kneeling on the ground. Although the people passing by didn't understand what was going on, they knew that the person sitting in the carriage must be an important person. So some people knelt down as well, and some timid ones turned around and went back in a hurry.
Feng Yuheng frowned as he looked at the grand scene in the street, and hurriedly walked towards Xuan Tianming's carriage. At the same time, he instructed Wang Chuan, "Tell Aunt An to take everyone back to the mansion first. I have something to discuss with His Highness the Ninth Prince." After saying that, he stepped onto the carriage.
Feng Fendai was unwilling to accept this, especially unwilling to accept this. Seeing the curtain of the carriage being lowered and the carriage changing direction and moving away, she stomped her feet and the overwhelming hatred surged up again.
Han quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "You are taking too much risk. If you anger the Ninth Prince, who knows what kind of trouble will happen again."
Feng Fendai said nothing, but a thought popped up in her mind: If Feng Yuheng died, or became disabled, or lost his reputation, she would not be qualified to marry Xuan Tianming. As a daughter of the Feng family, she might be able to get a chance to marry in his place.
Han saw Fendai's eyes rolling around, and knew that she must be planning something again, so she couldn't help but remind her: "You must remember the lesson from last time, and never act rashly again."
Fendai flicked her sleeves and said, "I know. It's really annoying."
At this time, Feng Yuheng was in Xuan Tianming's carriage, holding his whip in one hand and the handle of his wheelchair in the other, and was trying to persuade him earnestly: "No matter what, it is always bad for a man to hit a woman."
Xuan Tianming looked at her with amusement, "I've fought many times before."
She recalled the time when he beat Shen, and said helplessly: "That was at least inside the mansion, this is on the street."
"Hengheng, when did you become so reasonable?"
Feng Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then turned hostile: "You said I was unreasonable before? Xuan Tianming, when was I unreasonable?"
"It's quite unreasonable now." He explained to her: "Look, I was trying to help you out, but you scolded me. Is this something a reasonable person would do?"
She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm trying to teach you how to be a gentleman." After saying that, she saw his bewildered look and shook her head, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. By the way, aren't you in the camp? Why did you come back so suddenly? I was thinking of going to the camp to see you after sending Feng Jinyuan away."
Xuan Tianming smiled, "It seems that I really shouldn't have come back. I should have stayed in the camp and waited for our Heng Heng to come and see me."
Feng Yuheng raised her hand and blocked the small hole on the mask between his eyebrows. "You wish." After a sweet smile, she became serious. "It snowed so heavily a few days ago. Did anything go wrong with you?"
“No.” Xuan Tianming shook his head. “The defenses of the camp are strong. It’s not as desolate as you think.”
Feng Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. That day, my seventh brother went out of the city to worship his mother and encountered an avalanche. I was worried that something might have happened to you. But Banzou and the others said that the snow was too heavy and they couldn't go at all." She looked lonely. No matter how powerful a person is, there are always some things that are beyond their ability.
Xuan Tianming noticed that she was distracted, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke her soft hair, "I am a man, I shouldn't let you worry about everything. On the contrary, I was in the camp and saw such a heavy snow, thinking about you, and always wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible, but I couldn't abandon the soldiers in the camp. Later I heard that you did so many things in the capital, and you blamed it all on the Prince Yu's Mansion, it's really..." He chose the words in his mind, "Well, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up!"
Xuan Tianming, your uncle!
She was about to run away, but was stopped by the person in front of her. "Stop making trouble. Let me tell you something serious. Can my legs... be saved?"
Feng Yuheng gradually calmed down and moved his eyes to his legs, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Xuan Tianming saw that she seemed to be in a difficult situation, and could not help but say: "It's okay, I'm used to sitting in a wheelchair."
"No." She shook her head. "It's not that it can't be cured, but I don't dare to make a conclusion about the extent of the cure. It's not accurate to rely on the doctor to feel the bones to see how bad the leg bones are. I have to examine you carefully."
"Okay." He just said "Okay" and didn't ask what kind of examination it was. He just said, "Then arrange it as soon as possible."
Feng Yuheng was a little confused, "Did something happen?"
He did not hide the truth from her, and said, "Third brother's recent movements are a little out of control. We originally found out that he had 30,000 elite soldiers outside, but he has been expanding them in recent days. We are not sure how many there are, and they are migrating to the north. Although we were careful to separate them all, Seventh brother's secret guards still found some clues."
"North?" Feng Yuheng's mind was confused again. Feng Jinyuan had just left for the northern border, and she heard the news that Xuan Tianye's team was moving north. Was this just a coincidence? She took a deep breath and adjusted her mind. Everything was just her guess and could not be counted. The most important thing at the moment was to treat Xuan Tianming's leg. "Come to Tongshengxuan tomorrow." She told Xuan Tianming, "Come in through the main gate and you can't leave for seven days. You need to tell the palace."
"Okay." He nodded, seeing that Feng Yuheng had something on her mind, but since she didn't say it, he didn't ask. This girl had her own ideas. She would definitely say what she should say, and if she shouldn't say it, asking would only embarrass her. "I'll come over early tomorrow morning."
After he finished speaking, the carriage also stopped. The guard driving the carriage outside said, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the County Princess's Mansion."
He responded and shook Feng Yuheng's hand, "Have a good rest tonight. No matter whether my leg can be cured or not, I will take you to the camp before the New Year. Your archery skills are mysterious and can really help me a lot."
She was somewhat delighted: "Really?" In her previous life, she followed the instructor to learn archery. At first, it was just for interest, but she never thought that one day her archery skills would be so good that even the instructor would feel inferior to her. However, she was only a medical officer after all. Although she had martial arts skills, she didn't have many places to use them. Now, when she heard Xuan Tianming say that she could not only go to the camp, but also help, she was really excited.
Xuan Tianming saw the sparkle in her eyes and couldn't help but laugh. "At this age, other girls are either doing embroidery and eyebrow painting at home, or learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting from their masters. You are different. You spend the whole day either tinkering with medicinal herbs or wielding a whip and shooting arrows." He rubbed the thin calluses under her five fingers as he spoke. "For a girl to be like you, it is really admirable."
"I will remember to embroider a purse for you someday." Feng Yuheng looked at her with a smile, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes that he was most familiar with: "I have never sewed cloth, but I have sewn human flesh. Don't worry, my stitches are definitely more detailed than those of the ladies in the boudoir."
Xuan Tianming laughed helplessly, "I really married a special wife."
She was a little embarrassed, "I haven't married yet."
"You'll have to get married sooner or later." He restrained his smile and continued, "To be honest, our team suffered from bows and arrows during the war in the northwest. After you left in the mountains that day, Bai Ze and I were besieged by a team of sharpshooters. We barely escaped death before we managed to break out. Later, we investigated and found out that it seemed to be a sharpshooter team loaned from Qianzhou, the northern country. Because they didn't have many people, they were able to enter Dashun and sneak into the northwest. So, Hengheng, help me train a sharpshooter team. One day, I will personally lead your sharpshooter team to Qianzhou and compete with them to see whose archery skills are more enviable."
"Okay." Feng Yuheng nodded solemnly, "I promise you."
When Xuan Tianming left, he always felt that the girl was feeling uneasy, with obvious worry between her brows, but she was stubborn and refused to tell him.
However, when Feng Yuheng heard that the reason why Xuan Tianming and Bai Ze did not leave the deep mountains was because of a sharpshooting team from Qianzhou Kingdom in the northern boundary, the suspicion, uneasiness and anger in his heart once again reached a new level.
When she got off the car, Huang Quan had already returned and was waiting at the gate of the mansion with Wang Chuan.
As soon as he saw Feng Yuheng coming back, Huang Quan immediately stepped forward and told her, "That person said he recognized the Fourth Young Lady's voice. The woman wearing a bamboo hat who found him at the beginning spoke very similarly to the Fourth Young Lady. Because it was a matter of life and death, he remembered it very clearly."
Feng Yuheng nodded, and walked towards the mansion while listening. "When Feng Fendai was sent to the manor outside the capital, there was no one watching her, so there was no guarantee that she would escape and do something bad. If I hadn't taken action at that time, it would have been a life. I didn't expect that a ten-year-old girl would have such thoughts and courage."
"I have arranged for that man to stay at Baicao Hall. I originally wanted to send him back to his own home, but then I thought that the Fourth Young Lady would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him. We can't keep an eye on him all day, so it's safer to arrange for him to stay at Baicao Hall. Wang Lin happened to say that he was short of help to move the herbs, so I asked him to do it together."
"Okay." Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with this arrangement.
Wang Chuan sighed quietly, "I didn't expect the Feng family to be so ruthless, so ruthless that everyone from the old to the young is so scheming."
Feng Yuheng shrugged, "If the Feng family had any feelings, I wouldn't have been sent to the mountains in the northwest, and I wouldn't have been assassinated by a coachman on the way back to Beijing. What kind of relatives are those people?"
The two saw that Feng Yuheng looked unhappy, and knew that she must be angry again because of the bias and excessive treatment of Feng Mansion in recent years. However, what Feng Yuheng was angry about was that Xuan Tianming was seriously injured again after taking over the bone that night.
Feng Jinyuan went to the Northern Territory to suppress the disaster, and Xuan Tianye's elite troops secretly moved to the Northern Territory. If the Northern Territory did not respond, why would they do that?
Feng Yuheng bit her teeth almost to pieces, thinking that if all this really happened as she thought, she would definitely beat Feng Jinyuan to pieces and break the bones of this Feng Mansion!
