Perhaps because of the heavy snow and darkness, Feng Yuheng's carriage turned around, and the three carriages behind him didn't even notice it. Even the dead driver happened to fall into a snowdrift and was immediately covered by the snow. The bloodstains were buried under the snow, leaving almost no trace on the street.
The car that Chenyu was sitting in was the closest to Feng Yuheng. The driver felt that the second young lady's car was running too fast, so he didn't dare to follow. After all, the road was slippery, so it was better to be safer.
When Feng Yuheng's carriage stopped at Prince Yu's Mansion, the gatekeeper was just clearing the snow in front of the gate.
The doorman was stunned when he saw the carriage, because Ban Zou was a secret guard and rarely appeared in public, so he didn't recognize him at all. He was about to go up and ask who they were, when he saw the curtain of the carriage lifted and Feng Yuheng's little head popped out: "I am the second young lady of the Feng family."
With just one sentence, the doorman was shocked and immediately merged the identities of the second young lady of the Feng family and the future Princess Yu. Looking at Feng Yuheng carefully, it was indeed the appearance he had seen in front of Baicaotang during the last snowstorm.
So without saying anything, he immediately ordered people to open the gate of the mansion wide and let Ban Zou drive directly into the yard.
It was Feng Yuheng's first time to visit Prince Yu's Mansion, but he was in no mood to look around any more. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Madam Zhou coming towards him. When she saw Feng Yuheng and Ban Zou like this, she knew that something must have happened, so she quickly asked them to go to the inner courtyard.
As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, before they could go around the corridor, they saw Bai Ze pushing Xuan Tianming towards them.
When the two looked at each other, Feng Yuheng immediately shook his head slightly and gave him a reassuring look. Only then did he feel a little relieved, but he still stretched out his hand towards Feng Yuheng.
She trotted towards him, clasping his hands naturally, and said, "Something happened on the way, but I'm not hurt." As she spoke, she took over Bai Ze's job of pushing the wheelchair.
"I'll ask someone to investigate." Bai Ze said this and left. Ban Zou and Mrs. Zhou did not continue to follow them.
Feng Yuheng pushed Xuan Tianming back, and under Xuan Tianming's guidance, he went straight into his bedroom.
Xuan Tianming's bedroom was very large, with four compartments, but she was in no mood to visit. As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door and handed the arrow in her hand forward: "Look at this arrow. Ban Zou said it doesn't look like something from Dashun, but I don't understand."
He took the arrow in his hand, took one look at it and frowned: "Is it from Zong Sui?"
"Zong Sui?" Feng Yuheng was stunned. "From the east?"
"Yes." Xuan Tianming nodded, and then said: "But the people of Zong Sui are not good at riding and archery. Although they have archers, they are only used for regular use and there is nothing outstanding."
"The arrow was extremely powerful." She recounted how the arrow pierced through the wooden carriage and killed the driver, and added, "When the second arrow came, Ban Zou was afraid of another sneak attack and deliberately turned the carriage around a corner, but he was still shot in."
Xuan Tianming was certain when he heard this, "That must be Qian Zhou. He deliberately took Zong Sui's arrows to conceal his tracks. But no matter how he tries to hide it, only Qian Zhou's archery can shoot arrows in this way."
Feng Yuheng narrowed her eyes. Qian Zhou Shen Shooter successfully stimulated her nerves. She still remembered that Xuan Tianming was injured by Qian Zhou Shen Shooter in the mountains of the northwest.
"Who said they are the only ones who have this ability?" She snorted coldly, "When I train a sharpshooting team for you, I will compare it with the archers of Qian Zhou to see who has greater ability."
Xuan Tianming never doubted Feng Yuheng's words, not to mention that he had already seen this girl's archery skills. If she said now that she also had the kind of archery skills that could turn and follow the target, he would not doubt it at all.
"I heard about what happened in Prince Yuan's mansion." He pulled the man to his side, put down the arrow, and turned the topic straight to today's birthday banquet. "The third brother is getting more cautious every year. A set of white crystal headwear can remind him of the concubine back then. We underestimated him."
Feng Yuheng reached out to pinch his leg, checking the situation while talking to him: "It doesn't matter whether he really sees through it or not. This kind of psychological imprint can't be manifested all at once. If he is really superstitious enough to believe in the legend of the phoenix's fate, then this imprint is a good one. The plaster will need to stay on for a few more days. I will help you remove it in about seven days, and you can walk after more than a month of recovery."
She looked at him with relief. She was finally relieved that her leg had recovered to this extent.
In fact, she shouldn't have scared those girls like that in Prince Yuan's Mansion today, but Xuan Tianming's leg was a sore spot for her, and she herself was worried whether it could be cured as well as before, so she wouldn't allow others to say anything about it.
"I trust your medical skills." Xuan Tianming looked at the girl squatting in front of him, and suddenly he missed their first encounter in the deep mountains of the northwest. At that time, they met by chance and quarreled as soon as they spoke. Thinking about it now, it was quite interesting.
"You have no other choice if you are worried." Feng Yuheng looked up at him, "If I can't cure your leg, no one else in the world can cure it. Xuan Tianming, you should be happy to meet me!"
He was not secretly happy, he was openly happy, just when he was reminiscing about the quarrel in the past, she said this. In an instant, it was as if he was back in the mountains of the northwest, and the girl in front of him had just hit someone with a stone and turned around to quarrel with him.
"Stop laughing." She rolled her eyes. "Has your intelligence organization got any new information in the past two days?"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Yes. Some of the Third Brother's soldiers have withdrawn from the Northern Territory, but not many. It doesn't look like they are afraid of the eldest brother, but rather they are dealing with us to conceal their whereabouts. Those withdrawn soldiers are concentrated in Ganzhou, his private base outside."
"You mean, he doesn't believe the emperor's words to His Highness, and is already suspecting that we are the ones who did it?"
"It's possible." Xuan Tianming thought for a moment, and then said, "But his troops stopped at the third city in the Northern Territory and did not continue to advance. They should be able to meet up with your father in a few days."
"Just call him Feng Jinyuan." She was reluctant to hear "your father" say this. "Have you ever thought that if Xuan Tianye didn't fall for it and insisted on concentrating most of his troops to the north and forming a party with Qianzhou Kingdom, would he be in trouble immediately once that force was formed?"
Xuan Tianming shook his head, "No. If the throne can be obtained legitimately, no one would want to resolve it through force. But we can't leave his troops in the Northern Territory for too long. If he becomes too close to the Thousand Zhou Kingdom, it will be a headache for Yu Dashun sooner or later. By the way," he suddenly added, "Feng Jinyuan has entered the disaster area. As I expected, there are indeed people from the Thousand Zhou Kingdom who have secret contact with him. But surprisingly, the person who is looking for him is a woman."
"Woman?" Feng Yuheng was also a little surprised by this news. Why would a woman look for Feng Jinyuan?
"The spies are still gathering information. We have no other choice but to wait. The Third Brother is a cautious person. Even if he has doubts about the eldest brother, he will definitely make some preparations. Let's wait and see what happens." He put his hand on hers and suddenly changed the subject. "Do you blame me for dragging you into this struggle for imperial power?"
Feng Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then shook her head honestly, "No blame. Although I don't want to admit it, I am still Feng Jinyuan's daughter after all, born in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if it's not you, there are still others. Feng Jinyuan can't possibly promise me to an ordinary citizen. The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, whether legitimate or illegitimate, must be married to a king, a prince, a general or a minister. So I can't escape or hide from this struggle."
"You just don't like it, right?" He saw the slight annoyance in her eyes, "You are only twelve years old, how can you live this kind of life? It's my fault after all. I couldn't give you a stable life."
"If it were someone else, I would be living a worse life than now." She smiled, with a childlike face but full of sadness. "If possible, I hope that when I grow up, I can live a stable life without disputes. But if I am destined not to have that blessing, I will not blame anyone. I will accompany you in the wind and rain of swords. Xuan Tianming, you are the first person I have ever met. Just like life, I am here when you are here, and I will fight for your revenge with my life if you die..."
When Xuan Tianming personally sent Feng Yuheng back to the County Lord's Mansion, the people of the Feng family were gathering in front of the door with lanterns. An and Yao kept asking the servants running around: "Is there any news about the second young lady?"
The servants shook their heads and immediately went out to look for it again.
Xiang Rong was so anxious that she cried. While wiping her tears, she said, "It's all my fault. If I had taken the same car with my second sister, this wouldn't have happened."
Yao was anxious, but she had to persuade the child: "Even if you take the same car, you two will be lost together in the end. Stop crying, let's wait a little longer, maybe we can come back soon."
Chenyu was also wearing a cloak and waiting at the gate of the county lady's mansion. To everyone's surprise, she was even more anxious and concerned about Feng Yuheng's safety than Yao. Not only did she send all her servants out, she also ran a few steps from time to time to keep looking around.
At this time, Huang Quan's voice was heard from the other end of the street - "The Second Miss is back!"
In a word, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially when they saw the carriage with the Royal Palace logo coming this way, Yao was even more relieved.
Feng Yuheng returned home late and caused a small incident. Everyone believed her explanation and just thought that she met His Royal Highness Prince Yu on the way, so they followed her to Prince Yu's mansion and sat for a while.
Little did they know that Feng Yuheng had sent a team out of the mansion late at night to move the dead driver's body back and returned it to his family, giving them money to bury him properly. The money was enough for the family to insist that the driver died of illness, but the arrow gave Feng Yuheng nightmares all night.
When she woke up the next day, Huang Quan was sitting beside her bed, wiping her forehead with a handkerchief.
He felt a headache and a little cold, and Feng Yuheng immediately realized that he was probably sick.
"Miss, you caught a cold yesterday. I found you sweating a lot when I came this morning." Huang Quan changed the towel and continued to wipe, "I have been wiping all morning, but it won't dry."
She forced herself to sit up and kicked off the blankets that were pressing on her. "How can I not sweat if I cover myself like this?" She was speechless. She finally understood why the elderly always told children to sweat when they had a fever. It turned out to be a tradition passed down from ancient times. "Go change to a cool towel, not a hot one."
Huang Quan objected: "You are already sick, how can you still use a cooling towel?"
Feng Yuheng was helpless, "It's because I'm hot, so I have to be cooled down instead of heated up. Go, listen to me, I'm a doctor."
Huang Quan thought about it and realized that it made sense. Her young lady was a miracle doctor, so it was impossible for her to not be able to cure such a minor illness. So she quickly ran out to change the handkerchief.
But he quickly ran back, and said to Feng Yuheng with a look of gloating: "The Fifth Prince has indeed sent someone to propose marriage to the Fourth Miss." [End of this chapter]
