This was too cruel. Although Xuan Tianming didn't understand what a scalpel was, he could still understand the meaning of half-body incontinence. So he stopped unbuttoning his clothes and patiently explained to her, "I wore the wrong clothes today. I chose the most troublesome one. The thing is inside the lapel. I have to take it out."
Feng Yuheng blinked, "What is that? It's so mysterious."
He said, "Stolen things related to the ghost doctor Song Kang." As he said that, he unbuttoned the last button of his collar and took out a few pieces of paper from inside.
Feng Yuheng twitched his lips as he moved closer, holding the papers in his hands while reminding him: "Don't wear this kind of clothes when you go out in the future."
Xuan Tianming was very cooperative: "I will have someone burn it when I get back."
"Bah!" She rolled her eyes in anger. "How can a living person burn his own clothes? Don't say such things in the future." As she spoke, her eyes had already fallen on the pieces of paper.
The paper was yellowed and the ink was dry, obviously it was old. What was written on it was not words, but pictures drawn with ink, and what was drawn on those pictures was actually a basic surgical procedure. Or rather, it could not be called a surgical procedure, it was just a simple replacement of bones, organs, or even blood and skin. The drawing paper was just black and white, but everything on the picture was so bloody that even a surgeon like Feng Yuheng, who was really used to seeing life and death and autopsies, could not bear to face it. Because it was too intuitive, too cruel, and too unscrupulous. It was not a surgery, it was killing a person alive and saving another person. Or it should not be called saving, but really... prolonging life.
Xuan Tianming said: "This is a secret technique. It is said that this was taken by a ghost doctor from the last living person of a mysterious tribe that was on the verge of extinction. Song Kang has been obsessed with medicine all his life. How could he not be tempted by such a secret technique? He believes that this is the most powerful way to heal people in the world. As long as he learns this secret technique, it is equivalent to controlling the secret of life."
"So he spread the word that he had this ability, attracting many wealthy people to ask him to cure their illnesses and prolong their lives. In order to survive, those wealthy people provided Song Kang with medicine continuously. Song Kang used this medicine to practice step by step, and finally achieved the realm of changing bones and organs." She took over the conversation and said it calmly.
Xuan Tianming didn't know that Feng Yuheng was feeling a little relieved at this moment. She was relieved that it was only people of this era who had the whim to study this method of healing, and not someone who had traveled from the future like her and was conducting ancient surgical experiments. This was good, otherwise, if someone from the future with such terrible ambitions and murderous intentions was allowed to continue living, she didn't know what the world would become.
"What are you thinking about?" Xuan Tianming asked her, "What do these pictures make you think of?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head, "I was just thinking..." She suddenly laughed, moved closer to Xuan Tianming, and shook the drawing paper in her hand, "Tell me, if I already knew these so-called secret techniques, and I didn't need to use living people to experiment like Song Kang did for so many years, and I did it better than him, I can guarantee that the success rate would be more than 90%! Tell me, if Song Kang knew about this, would he be so angry that he would die?"
Xuan Tianming also laughed, "I knew that our divine doctor Heng was much more reliable than that damn ghost doctor Song Kang." He had always believed that Feng Yuheng's medical skills were the best in the world. Not to mention Song Kang, even her grandfather Yao Xian couldn't match him. "Let's go and piss him off to death tomorrow."
Xuan Tianming stayed in the County Lord's Mansion until dark, and successfully had a dinner made by Feng Yuheng, but was finally kicked out by Feng Yuheng. The moment the door of the County Lord's Mansion was closed, Huang Quan sighed: "Your Highness is so pitiful."
Feng Yuheng curled her lips, "He is still lustful, so kicking him is the least of his worries."
That night, Feng Yuheng did something very mundane—counting money!
She had only now found the mood to look at the gold sent by the Qianzhou people. A particularly large secret room was dug underground in the county lord's mansion. She didn't know what the secret room was used for before, but after she took over, she could only use it to hide money. Ten million taels of gold filled countless wooden boxes, and even a secret room as large as the county lord's mansion was half full.
Feng Yuheng was shocked. She had never had a deep understanding of the ancient silver and money conversion. When she first asked for five million taels of gold, it was just a casual remark. It was not until these things were placed in front of her that she realized, is it safe to hide so much money here?
She really wanted to put all the gold in the pharmacy, but firstly, there was not enough space to put all the boxes, and secondly, there were too many of them. If she had to put them one by one herself, she would be exhausted.
There was no other way, so I had to break it down into smaller pieces. I wrapped the gold in one of the boxes in a bundle, divided it into smaller pieces, and put them in the storage room of the space. These were meant to be carried with me in case of emergency. The others would still be kept here temporarily. At least for now, the County Lord's Mansion was still a safe place.
Feng Yuheng had tried the automatic filling function of the pharmacy. He tried to put things from ancient times in and then took them out to see if it would automatically fill. Unfortunately, after trying many times, he found that the things put in later could not be copied. Only the things that were originally in this space could be automatically filled. The functions that the things put in later could only enjoy were preservation and access at any time.
This is good, Feng Yuheng thought, if anything that enters the space can be copied, then this space will be filled up, and every time something is added, it will occupy a space and will never disappear. If it keeps going back and forth, I'm afraid there won't be enough space for people.
She was happily counting money here, while over at the Feng Mansion, Feng Jinyuan was sitting in the hall of Shuya Garden, sighing with the old lady, staring at each other.
The old lady said, "We could have restrained her in the past if she wanted to take charge of the affairs of this mansion, but the current situation...how can we make the decision?"
Feng Jinyuan also sighed and had to face the reality: "I'm afraid that even if we can make the decision, it's not as good as her ability to save the lives of this family. Mother--" He looked at the old lady and said: "Qian Zhou's incident has a lot of implications. Although the emperor didn't say much in the morning court today, my son saw that General Pingnan was worried. After the court was dismissed, he followed the emperor. I think the emperor must have something to tell him."
The old lady took a breath and analyzed, "General Pingnan is a military commander who is in charge of the troops in the southern border. In the Dashun Dynasty, the southern border is controlled by General Pingnan, the eastern border is controlled by Bu Cong, the western border and the northwestern border are both controlled by His Highness the Ninth Prince, and the northern border is controlled by the Duanmu family... You just said that Duanmu Qing came to propose marriage on behalf of His Highness the Third Prince?"
Feng Jinyuan nodded: "Yes, I have agreed."
The old lady did not object, but just said: "Think about it carefully."
Feng Jinyuan said: "I have thought of everything I can think of. Just as Duanmu Qing said, the Feng family now has no more choices. What's more, there are also rumors from the Imperial Observatory."
The old lady was not really concerned about the affairs of the court. The reason why she could calm down and analyze things with Feng Jinyuan was just to protect the Feng family. But the fact that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory saw the Phoenix Star was very much to her liking - "I originally said that Taoist Zi Yang had some Taoist skills, but you didn't believe it. What's going on now?"
Feng Jinyuan knew that the old lady was deliberately taking advantage of him, but he did not expose her. Although he was certain in his heart that the so-called Phoenix Star was most likely Feng Yuheng, it would not be good for the Feng family if Feng Yuheng took the throne, and it was even possible that he would be tricked. But Chenyu was different. Chenyu had been raised according to that standard for the past few years. In addition, the Shen family no longer existed, so the only one she could rely on was the Feng family. Only a daughter like this should be supported by the Feng family.
He made up his mind and said to the old lady, "This matter is settled, but..." Feng Jinyuan turned his mind, "But mother just mentioned the matter of the military power of the four realms, which gave her another idea."
The old lady was puzzled. "What else can you do with military power? Apart from the possibility of forming a marriage alliance with the Northern Territory, none of the other three parties are on the same path as us."
Feng Jinyuan smiled, "Not necessarily." Then, facing the old lady's puzzled gaze, he said, "The Feng family must not hang themselves on a tree. Just in case, we have to make preparations for both situations."
The old lady stamped her feet and said, "You have made your point clear. How else can we prepare?"
Feng Jinyuan reminded the old lady: "We don't just have two daughters, Ah Heng and Chen Yu, don't forget, there are also Fendai and Xiangrong. Let's not talk about Fendai for now, just talk about Xiangrong, she is already eleven years old this year, and I see that she looks more and more like her second sister."
The old lady was startled, then thought again, as if she had thought of something, "So you are in a hurry to bring Xiangrong back from the nunnery?"
"Yes." Feng Jinyuan said, "The 19th of this month is Chenyu's coming-of-age day. I used this as an excuse to bring Xiangrong back. I originally only had a rough idea. But now it seems... we need to talk to the general of the Bu family."
During the conversation between Feng Jinyuan and the old lady, another daughter was put to use by the family for life. At this time, Feng Chenyu, who had received the news, walked around in her small courtyard with some joy.
She was delighted that the Feng family had not given up on her. She also heard that the Third Prince had the help of the ghost doctor Song Kang and had hope of recovery. The thought about Feng Ming that had once been shattered in her heart gradually resurfaced.
She reached out and gently stroked the mole on her chin, and the words Kang Yi said when he first saw her came to her mind again. Chenyu thought, this is fate! She is destined to be the queen in this life, what about the Ji'an County Princess, what about refining steel, even if she succeeds, she will serve her people in the future. But... she doesn't want to be a concubine, if she wants to get married, she must marry into the Xiangwang Mansion as the main wife!
Layer upon layer of viciousness came one after another, frightening the maids in the yard so much that they slowed down their footsteps and no one dared to say a word. However, Feng Chenyu's aura collapsed again at this moment.
What could she do? The Shen family, who could provide her with the most help and hope, was gone, and Kang Yi was also dying. Even if she was unwilling, what could she do?
unless……
