Feng Jinyuan finally came out, jogging all the way. Feng Yuheng's words that he was going to the Prince Xiang's Mansion almost scared him to death.
"You can't go!" They finally arrived at the gate of Songyuan. Although they had been prepared, the sight of the blood on the ground and the headless body made even the prime minister tremble. "Ah Heng," he gritted his teeth and advised earnestly, "You are going to the Prince of Xiang's mansion just because of a maid's words. This is not appropriate!"
Feng Yuheng stared at him and asked, "Then what do you think is appropriate, father?"
Feng Jinyuan thought about it and said tentatively: "Mei Xiang is already dead, you were too harsh. Now there is no evidence. Even if you go, she will just deny it. What can you do to her?"
Feng Yuheng suddenly laughed, "Father, who said I want him to admit it? I just want to send the woman he kept in Feng Mansion back."
"Oh, what a woman, don't listen to this girl's nonsense!" Feng Jinyuan stamped his feet, stretched out his hand to pull Feng Yuheng, and said at the same time: "Listen to your father, go back quickly, your father will definitely ask the best doctor in the world to treat your mother's illness, and will definitely find the best medicine in the world to treat her. Don't worry, your father will do what he says! Your father..."
Bang!
With a whip sound, no one expected that Feng Yuheng would whip Feng Jinyuan. Although it didn't cause his skin to be torn, it did pull out the cotton wool inside his winter coat. Feng Jinyuan felt a pain in his arm and couldn't even lift it up.
"You--" He stared at Feng Yuheng in horror, wanting to say that the child who hit his father should be struck by thunder! But when he looked up, the afternoon sky was clear, the sun was shining in the sky, and there was no thunder at all.
"I'm telling you--" Feng Yuheng said sternly, "I am the best doctor in the world, and I have the best medicine in the world, but I still can't cure my mother. Feng Jinyuan! Put away the word "father". You don't deserve the title of father at all! I'm going to the Prince Xiang's Mansion today. If you are interested, come with me and take a look. If you are afraid, just stay in the mansion and continue to be a turtle. I say it again, if you dare to touch my mother, I will definitely twist his head off!"
After saying this, she waved at the guards and turned away.
Feng Jinyuan stood there with his arms folded, thinking in his mind whether he should go this time or not.
If he went, would the Third Prince think that he was going with Feng Yuheng to raise an army to question him?
If he didn't go, what if that girl made a big fuss? After all, to outsiders, she was his Fengfu's daughter!
Feng Jinyuan was in a dilemma when Kang Yi spoke up, "Master, hurry up and go over to take a look. Ah Heng still has the whip in his hand!"
This sentence reminded Feng Jinyuan that the girl might go to Prince Xiang's Mansion to fight to the death. If someone really died, no matter which side was in trouble, he could not afford it!
The death of the prince is a big deal, but if Feng Yuheng dies, there will be no one to make steel, which will be an even bigger problem!
He stamped his feet and followed him out.
When he arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper told him: "The second young lady and her group rode on horses, and they have probably turned two streets away by now."
Feng Jinyuan shouted urgently: "Prepare the horses! Prepare the horses quickly!"
But no one was there to force him to ride a horse, and how could a civil servant ride a horse? The driver drove out a large carriage, and Kang Yi and the Cheng sisters accompanied Feng Jinyuan on the carriage.
The driver whipped his whip, the horses galloped, and they headed straight for Prince Xiang's mansion. Feng Jinyuan was frightened by the whipping reflexively.
When they arrived, Feng Yuheng and his party had already arrived. She ordered people to place the body horizontally in front of the Xiangwang Mansion, and said to the guards at the gate of Xiangwang Mansion: "Go tell your prince that the woman he kept outside has died, and this county lady will bring the body back to him."
The guards at Prince Xiang's mansion were a little confused. One of them went to report to the mansion, while the other stared at the corpse with its head and body separated, feeling a chill in his heart.
Not long after, the Third Prince Xuan Tianye walked out of the mansion himself, still with a look of natural anger on his face. It seemed as if countless wronged ghosts were surrounding him, and he looked gloomy.
As early as when he heard that the Princess of Ji'an had come, he knew what was going on. None of the men he had sent out to rob and kill Meixiang came back alive. Not only that, the place where Meixiang's family was buried was also turned up, and none of the four bodies were missing.
However, he had been on high alert, guarding against Feng Yuheng's sneak attack in the middle of the night and Xuan Tianming setting fire to the mansion. However, he did not expect that Feng Yuheng would not come secretly, but instead carried the corpse to the gate of Prince Xiang's mansion openly.
What on earth was this woman trying to do? Did she really think she was powerful enough to challenge the prince?
Thinking of this, Xuan Tianye was not too optimistic. As an opponent, he knew Feng Yuheng. This girl was indeed as arrogant as Xuan Tianming, but she was not blind. Since she dared to come to the door like this, she might have dug a trap for him to fall into.
Xuan Tianye's eyebrows twitched unconsciously twice, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw Feng Yuheng looking at him with a beautiful face. That face was inexplicably pure, and although it was stained with a few drops of blood, it still looked so transparent, like the purest jade, without a single impurity.
Mei Xiang's body was right at Xuan Tianye's feet, but he didn't even glance at it. He just looked back at Feng Yuheng.
The onlookers had long been separated by the guards, and the two men stared at each other for a long time, so long that the people of the Feng family and the Prince Xiang's mansion could hardly bear the two pillars of icy air. At this moment, Xuan Tianye suddenly shifted his gaze away, looking into the distance with some barely noticeable panic, and it was only after five breaths that he returned to normal.
He felt a little panicked when they stared at each other. He didn't know what was going on with Feng Yuheng's eyes, they seemed to be able to captivate the soul, and they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, just staring straight at him, through his pupils, into his brain.
Xuan Tianye was suspicious and almost suspected that this girl had some strange skills. However, he didn't know that Feng Yuheng just used the most profound method in psychology to enhance the effect of mental power, so as to convey information through eyes, which caused Xuan Tianye to feel an inexplicable pressure.
This staring match made Feng Jinyuan feel frightened. He seemed to understand that the Third Prince had just lost to a 13-year-old girl. This King Xiang, who was as majestic as a god in everyone's eyes, was defeated so easily by Feng Yuheng!
Not only Feng Jinyuan, Kang Yi was also very surprised. She kept reminding herself in her heart that she must send someone to report the news about Princess Ji'an again after returning home. She wanted to know everything about this girl!
At this time, Xuan Tianming finally couldn't hold back the atmosphere anymore and spoke first, "I wonder why my sister-in-law suddenly came to visit. What's the matter?"
Feng Yuheng raised the corner of his lips. It seemed that this person was going to deny his debt. That was fine.
She simply stopped talking about Meixiang and just raised her chin to ask him, "Ah Heng is itching to learn martial arts today, so I want to exchange skills with my third brother. I wonder if my third brother would give me a chance?" Then, without waiting for Xuan Tianye to speak, she immediately added, "The sun is shining brightly today. I came from far away. My third brother won't let me go home disappointed, right? Let's fight faster. I heard that Concubine An in the palace has two particularly interesting emerald birds. I was thinking of going into the palace to enjoy them after we're done."
Xuan Tianye was startled. It had been a long time since the poisoning by the Emerald Bird. He had thought that it would be a great disaster for the Northwest Camp, but he had never expected that Feng Yuheng would go there and actually let her rescue those tens of thousands of soldiers. He felt sorry afterwards, but he was relieved that the other party didn't catch any evidence.
But I didn't expect that Feng Yuheng came to my house today and not only carried Meixiang's body, but also mentioned Anpin's emerald bird. Could it be that she knew about that matter as well?
But he calmed down immediately. What would it matter if he knew? It was just a guess after all. Even if there was a confession from Concubine An, it didn't matter. Concubine An was a lunatic. Who would believe a lunatic's words?
Xuan Tianye's expression was obviously relaxed, and he looked at Feng Yuheng and laughed: "Since my sister-in-law is so interested, then I can't refuse you. Since you proposed the idea, then tell me, how do you want to compete?"
Feng Yuheng also smiled and replied: "You can compare in any way, I'm not picky."
Xuan Tianye nodded, his eyes cast towards the whip in Feng Yuheng's hand, "Since my sister-in-law has the whip in her hand, let's compare weapons. You are good at using a soft whip, and I am good at using a long sword. Although I have an advantage in terms of sharpness, my sister-in-law also has an advantage in terms of killing range. The two are balanced, so no one will lose."
Feng Yuheng laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. When she stood up again, she pointed at Xuan Tianye and said, "Third brother, a grown man, is trying to make up for the disadvantages with a little girl, and he even has the nerve to say that no one is at a disadvantage. It's really funny."
Xuan Tianye blushed after hearing what he said, so he thought about taking a step back, after all, she was still a child. But before he could finish his words, he heard Feng Yuheng say, "Okay! Weapons are weapons! Soft whip versus long sword, this combination is quite interesting. Then, third brother, what should we bet on?"
"Bet?" Xuan Tianye's intuition told him that Feng Yuheng's trap was most likely about this bet. He was prepared and wanted to take control of the situation, so he said, "Although you and I are the princes and county ladies, since we want to bet, we can't be too independent. Let's follow the rules of the people and bet on silver!"
"Silver?" Feng Yuheng pretended to be surprised, then laughed, "Third brother, what kind of joke are you talking about? If we want to gamble, we should gamble on gold. Doesn't silver have a role?"
Xuan Tianye thought about it, "Okay, let's bet on gold. Hmm..." He gritted his teeth, "Ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Hahahaha!" Feng Yuheng laughed again, this time even more wantonly than before.
Not only her, but also the Cheng sisters couldn't help laughing, but after receiving Feng Jinyuan's warning look, the laughter was stopped.
"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Tianye was puzzled.
Kang Yi sighed helplessly and kindly reminded: "Your Majesty, the county lady's gambling on gold has always been based on one million taels. Basically speaking... the starting price is five million taels."
"What?" Xuan Tianye was shocked, and then he thought of the five million taels of gold that Kang Yi was cheated of by Xuan Tianming, and then he thought of Feng Yuheng cheating Ru Jia of another five million taels in the palace. In this case, he was talking about ten thousand taels of gold, which was not to make the other party laugh.
But...how can he get more?
The money he had had was already used to support the army, and the 10,000 taels of gold was donated by someone years ago, and he hadn't had time to embezzle it before he dared to bring it up to bet with Feng Yuheng. But if it came to 5 million taels, he really couldn't come up with it.
The attendant beside him reminded him: "What's wrong if the prince agrees? You won't lose." In the eyes of the servants, Prince Xiang was very capable, and beating a thirteen-year-old girl was like a piece of cake for him.
But Feng Yuheng said, "No, since it's a bet, we have to put the stakes out in the open first. It's pointless to just sit there and wait."
Xuan Tianye had no other choice but to spread his hands: "Why don't you tell me what we're betting on?"
Feng Yuheng was waiting for him to say this, and immediately said loudly: "Why not, let's bet our lives!"
