As soon as the person fell into the water, Xuan Tianming immediately slapped his wheelchair and flew straight up to the sky above the river in the blink of an eye, and hugged Feng Yuheng, who was also falling and unstable, in his arms.
The little girl glared at him, and Xuan Tianming tightened his arms even more, holding the girl and falling back to the ground.
The river was rushing fast, and the dwarf lost his voice instantly after falling into the water. He didn't even have time to struggle before being swept down by the waves.
Yao was dumbfounded. This...is this murder?
Qinglan saw that Yao's expression was not right, so she quickly whispered to her, "Madam, the young lady almost fell into the water."
But Yao Shi had no time to care about this. She was sure that Feng Yuheng was going to kill someone, and her mind was full of the scene of Feng Yuheng throwing the child into the water. She began to be afraid. After all, a child she had just met could not compare to her own daughter. Although she had always had doubts about her daughter, it was just a suspicion. Now that something happened, her maternal side was fully aroused again. She rushed forward and was about to kneel down to Xuan Tianming, but was stopped by Wang Chuan's quick eyes and hands, "Madam, what are you doing?"
Yao begged Xuan Tianming: "I will kill the child, okay? Don't arrest Ah Heng. I know that killing someone means paying with one's life, so let me pay with this life! Ah Heng is still young, she can't die just because of a child!"
Feng Yuheng was somewhat surprised by these words, and also felt a little touched. The estrangement and differences between her and Yao Shi before were all wiped out at the line between life and death.
She suddenly understood that Yao was indeed concerned about her because she was not like her original daughter. This concern must not have been formed in a day or two. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She believed that Yao should have become suspicious on the way back to Beijing from Xiping Village, but she chose to obey.
Although she was obedient, the knot in her heart was still there until she was poisoned by the Soul-Separating Powder. That thing could infinitely magnify all of a person's subconscious thoughts. Even if she had quit her drug addiction, the subconscious thoughts that were stimulated would not subside in a short time.
That's why Yao was competing with her, and why she wanted to go to Xiaozhou to accompany Zirui.
Fortunately, Yao was kindhearted. When she realized that Feng Yuheng was in danger, she immediately stepped forward and used her own life to exchange for her daughter's. Of course, it was this kindness that once again established her image as a mother in Feng Yuheng's heart.
Xuan Tianming put Feng Yuheng down, and then said to Yao Shi in a serious tone: "Madam, you are worrying too much. If I had wanted her to pay with her life, I would not have told her the fate just now. Moreover, why should my wife pay with someone else's life?"
Yao was overjoyed, "Your Highness means that Ah Heng does not have to bear the crime of murder? Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." As she spoke, she was about to kneel down again.
Feng Yuheng stepped forward to hold the person, and said helplessly: "Mother, there are some things I won't tell you. First, I'm afraid that you will be in danger if you know too much, and second, I'm afraid that I'll scare you. Where did the child come from in the wilderness? That road is an official road. Although there is a section on the edge of the cliff, the villains would not be so blatant as to hang people on the side of the official road. This matter is suspicious."
After hearing what she said, Yao also had some ideas in her mind, but she couldn't think of the deeper level, and she shook her head while thinking.
At this time, Huang Quan, who was standing by the river, suddenly shouted, "Come and see!"
People were attracted by the shout and after Huang Quan pointed, they discovered that the dwarf was on a hidden reef in the middle of the river, clinging to the reef and trying desperately to save his life.
Yao couldn't stand it anymore when she saw this scene, and kept begging Feng Yuheng: "Even if he is a bad guy, just take him back and send him to the authorities. We can't just stand by and watch him die! Ah Heng, when we were sent to the northwest, your brother was as old as him. Just think of it as saving Zirui, okay?"
Feng Yuheng frowned, thinking about how to refute Yao, or delay a little longer until the dwarf could no longer hold on and was washed away by the river. At this time, Xuan Tianming suddenly said, "Madam is right, we can't just stand by and watch him die."
"Hmm?" She turned to look at him in confusion, but saw a hint of cunning in his eyes. Feng Yuheng immediately understood that this man must have a plan in mind, so she quickly said to Wang Chuan: "Go and rescue the person."
Wangchuan said, "Yes." Then he flew up and easily picked up the dwarf back.
The dwarf was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't care about acting cute to Yao, and just sat on the ground shivering. However, this little look made Yao's heart melt. She quickly ordered Qinglan: "Quick, get a blanket from the carriage. What will happen to this child if he is so cold?" Then she said to Ah Heng: "He is wet, it is not convenient for him to ride in the palace carriage with you. Let me take him with me."
Feng Yuheng did not refute Yao's opinion, but said to Wangchuan and Huangquan: "You sit with Madam. Madam? She has just recovered from a serious illness, so she cannot do such a tiring job as holding a child."
The two maids nodded in agreement, and everyone did not linger any longer and returned to the carriage.
As soon as the car started, Feng Yuheng immediately asked Xuan Tianming: "What are your plans?"
Xuan Tianming shook his head. "I haven't made up my mind yet. I just suddenly thought of something."
"What's up?"
"I heard that Qian Zhou sent a dowry to Kang Yi and gold to the county lady's mansion. The envoys he sent were an uncle of the emperor and a general, both civil and military, plus the uncle's grandson?"
Feng Yuheng said, "That's what the news said." After thinking about it, she understood what Xuan Tianming meant, "Do you suspect that the man is the grandson of Qian Zhou? No, he is clearly a dwarf..." She paused when she said this, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "You mean, Qian Zhou is a grandson on the surface, but in fact he is the prince? That dwarf is not the grandson of the emperor's uncle, but his son?"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "It's possible that this is the case. And just looking at the dwarf's behavior, we can tell that he is coming for us. Or... for you."
Feng Yuheng sniffed, "Avenge Kang Yi and Ru Jia?"
"Revenge is one of his purposes." Xuan Tianming said coldly, "I'm afraid he came here for the steelmaking technique. In other words, even if he can't get the steelmaking technique, he wants to kill you who can make steel and silence you."
Feng Yuheng shuddered, "I'm so scared!"
Xuan Tianming laughed loudly, "Yes! I am scared too!"
The two of them were laughing and joking, but the dwarf who was in the same car with Yao, and was being held tightly by Huangquan Wangchuan on both sides, was feeling extremely devastated.
The Princess of Ji'an was as cunning as a ghost, and the Ninth Emperor was even more sinister and evil. He originally wanted to start with the Yao family, but ended up with two more difficult girls than ghosts. Damn it, he must have not checked the almanac before taking this action, otherwise how could he be so unlucky.
Seeing that he looked unwell, Yao asked him kindly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The dwarf was silent. He no longer had the patience to act like a child in front of Yao. He kept thinking, if he held Yao hostage, would Feng Yuheng hand over the steelmaking technique? At worst, he would just kill Yao. If he couldn't get the steelmaking technique, he would at least give her a bad taste. The princess of Qianzhou was bullied by them like this. It was worth it to use this woman's life to pay for Ru Jia's injuries.
The dwarf's eyes suddenly turned cold, his hands clenched into fists, and his bones began to twist slowly but regularly. Perhaps he was no match for Huangquan Wangchuan in a one-on-one fight, let alone Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, but when it came to sneak attacks and escape, his cartilage skills were beyond the reach of ordinary people. He had a good plan. Although there were two girls around him, he could still attack Yao by surprise. If nothing unexpected happened, Yao should be killed. After the success, he would immediately escape, and the two girls would be exhausted and unable to catch him.
Yao was afraid that he would be cold, so she covered him with a large blanket, covering his upper body and head, which just concealed his secret bone shrinking skills. The dwarf was very proud, and could even imagine Feng Yuheng going crazy because of his mother's tragic death, and a smile subconsciously rose at the corner of his lips.
Unfortunately, just as the joint began to twist, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and that person stretched out his hand and touched his arm casually, just right on the numb tendon in the elbow, and the bone shrank and released the force, and instantly returned to its original position.
He was startled and looked up at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. He was sure that this person was not originally in Feng Yuheng's team, but now he appeared here, which could only mean one fact, that this person was a secret guard.
The dwarf didn't dare to act rashly anymore. He knew that if he fought with a secret guard, he might not even have the time to see how he died.
Yao, who was sitting in the car, was also wondering why Ban Zou suddenly appeared. Before she could ask, she heard Ban Zou say, "The master said that a particularly ugly child came. I came to take a look."
The dwarf was so angry when he heard someone say he was ugly, but what could he do? Except for Yao, everyone in this group was smarter and more skilled in martial arts than the other. It seemed that this action was really too rash.
The dwarf began to regret that he should have listened to his father and not acted rashly. Now, he failed to accomplish his goal and would definitely be scolded and laughed at when he returned.
The two carriages moved forward quickly and finally arrived at the gate of the capital city in the evening.
Xuan Tianyan's carriage was in front, and Yao's carriage was behind. They heard a lot of noise from the people outside the city. Bai Ze, the driver, lifted the curtain and said to the people inside: "I don't know what they are checking. Those entering and leaving the city are being carefully checked."
Feng Yuheng walked to the side of the carriage and looked out. Just then, a soldier guarding the city gate was walking towards them. The soldier looked like a young man with a long spear in his hand. He pointed the gun at Bai Ze and shouted, "Stop the car! Everyone inside, get out!"
Bai Ze was immediately amused, "Where did this young boy come from?"
When the man heard his words, he jumped up in anger and shouted, "Someone, come here! There are a group of thieves here, surround them quickly!"
When the other gatekeepers heard that there were thieves, they quickly surrounded the palace carriage, pointing their guns at the palace carriage with a look of alert on their faces.
Feng Yuheng patted Bai Ze on the shoulder, signaling him not to speak, and then took the initiative to ask: "You are blocking the city gates and checking one by one, what are you checking?"
"Hmph!" A soldier shouted, "The grandson of the Thousand Zhou Dynasty has been kidnapped by criminals. The higher-ups have issued orders that all pedestrians and vehicles passing through the capital must be checked one by one. No one can be let off! All of you, get out of your cars right now!"
"Grandson of the Thousand Zhou Dynasty?" Feng Yuheng raised his voice and asked him, "Are you saying that you are blocking the city gate like this, disturbing the people's in and out and making it inconvenient for them to live in peace, just for the grandson of the Thousand Zhou Dynasty?"
"That's right!" The soldier raised his head, not thinking that what he did was wrong, and said loudly: "The status of the grandson of the Qianzhou Dynasty is noble, and any small incident is very serious. How can these lowly people compare with him!" What's more, the uncle of the Qianzhou Dynasty also said that whoever can find the grandson of the Qianzhou Dynasty will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. That's gold!
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl standing on the carriage looking down at him suddenly changed her expression. Her pretty face was instantly covered with gloom. Then she patted the driver and said loudly: "Bai Ze - hit him!"
... The daughter of a genius doctor
