Eight hundred steps into the forest, Yuexiu was standing there waiting with someone. The maid following Yuan Guiren seemed a little scared and paused, which made Yuan Guiren dissatisfied: "Just follow me, why are you retreating?"
The maid didn't dare to say anything and followed silently until Yuexiu came up and called out, "Master!" Then she glanced behind Yuan Guiren and said, "Miss Fu Ya."
Yuan Guiren frowned and said, "It's rude to call her Miss Feng."
"Oh, Miss Feng." Yuexiu quickly changed her words, "It's my fault. I always forget the rules." After that, she said to Yuan Guiren, "Master, everything has been arranged. There is a gap on the other side of the forest. It was bitten by a small beast. Send Miss Feng away from there. It will be safe."
The one who was disguised as a maid and followed behind Concubine Yuan was Fu Ya. When she heard that she was going to be sent away, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Where are you sending me, Your Majesty? Didn't you say that you wanted me to come here and then make other arrangements? Why are you sending me away?"
Noble Lady Yuan told her, "Please be patient. Things are different now. I originally planned to arrange you to the winter enclosure so that we could act when the time comes. But something big happened during the day, and you are probably still wondering why I suddenly went from being the queen of the first palace to a small noble lady. I tell you, all this is thanks to Feng Yuheng. As long as she is here, none of us will have a good life, so you have to leave now."
Fu Ya frowned. She couldn't understand. Concubine Yuan Shu was the queen of the palace. Even the princes had to be respectful to her. How powerful was Feng Yuheng to be able to overthrow the queen who was the head of a palace? She looked at Concubine Yuan in confusion. After a long while, she finally asked, "Are you sending me back to the capital?"
Noble Yuan shook his head, "No, I will send you to the southern border."
"What?" Fu Ya was shocked. "Send me to the Southern Realm? Why? I... why should I go to the Southern Realm? No, no!" She hastily refused, shaking her head. "I can't go to the Southern Realm. I still have my home and my mother in the capital. How can I leave her alone and go to the Southern Realm? Madam, please ask someone else."
"Miss Fu Ya, this is not up to you." Yue Xiu said coldly: "You must remember your identity. Although we call you Miss Feng, you are not Feng Yuheng, not a child of the Feng family, and certainly not the daughter of Yao. Your so-called family and mother are actually not related to you by blood. They are just master and servant, just hired. Do you really think you are Yao's biological daughter? In front of the queen, there is no place for you to bargain!"
Yue Xiu's stern voice actually frightened Fu Ya. She stared at Concubine Yuan in a daze. Only then did she realize that Concubine Yuan Shu had always been kind and friendly to her, but that was just an illusion. She was courting death, and was basically walking on the edge of a knife. If she was not careful, she would only get a minor cut, and it would be easy to fall off a cliff. In fact, she had been mentally prepared for a long time, and knew that she had to be extremely careful when dealing with such a person, but she was too calculating, and she could not figure out the other party's palm. Now she was about to be sent to the southern border, and she had no way out. So, instead of resisting, it would be better...
"I wonder why Your Majesty wants to send me to the Southern Territory?" Fu Ya asked Concubine Xiang Yuan. She had given up the idea of refusing before. She said honestly, "I know I can't run away, and you are holding me just for my face. Your Majesty, just tell me directly, so that when I arrive in the Southern Territory, I will have a better idea in my heart."
Noble Lady Yuan nodded and praised, "You are indeed a smart girl. I believe that with more training, you will not be worse than Feng Yuheng." She told Fu Ya, "I am sending you to the Southern Realm to give you a good marriage. My son is the eighth prince of the current emperor. You are promising him your marriage, which is a blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes. He is about to return to the capital. If you can meet halfway, that would be the best. But no matter whether you can meet or not, you must go straight to Biannan. When you get there, you will live in the general's mansion in Biannan as the future wife of the eighth prince. And your external identity there is also the daughter of the Feng family, the daughter of the Yao family. Do you understand?"
Fu Ya was stunned. "The future wife of the Eighth Prince?" Did she hear it wrong? Was this noble lady Yuan crazy? She just gave her the position of wife like that? Would the Eighth Prince agree to it?
Yuan Guiren obviously understood what she was thinking, so she explained, "Don't worry, I know my son, he has listened to me since he was a child. As for the emperor, although he has agreed to the marriage with the Lu family, the marriage will be granted in the New Year. There are still two months, two months, enough time for many things to happen, and these are not things you should worry about. As long as you follow the secret guards to the south safely, as long as you can reach Biannan safely, Fu Ya, from now on, your wealth and glory will be inexhaustible. Also, I know you want to avenge your parents, but you have to find Feng Yuheng to avenge that. You have been in the capital for so long, and you know how difficult it is to find her for revenge, so now I have opened a shortcut for you. As long as you can stand beside the Eighth Prince as a young lady of the Feng family, all of this will not be a problem."
Fu Ya was touched by the words of Yuan Guiren. She thought about them again and again, and finally felt that this was a very good deal. She knew what Yuan Guiren's ultimate intention was. It was her dream for the Eighth Prince to succeed to the throne and rule the country. Her appearance in Biannan as a young lady of the Feng family would surely set off a wave of people's hearts returning to the Eighth Prince in Biannan. After all, Feng Yuheng's status in the hearts of the people of Dashun was too high. But... "If I go, what will happen to Madam Yao? If I leave, will she still recognize me? And the Feng family, this is a chain game. If the queen wants to hold on to this game, she can't just send me away."
Yuan Guicong smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, the Yao family is already on their way to the southern border. As for the Feng family, Feng Jinyuan has no status in the Feng Mansion, and his two daughters are in the hunting ground, so it will be even easier to get rid of him. Don't worry, when you get to Biannan, you will meet everyone you are supposed to meet. At that time, you just need to do your duty as a daughter of the Feng family and be filial and respectful to your parents. You don't have to worry about anything else."
What else could Fu Ya say after all this? She nodded, "Okay, I'll go."
Concubine Yuan nodded to the man in black behind Yue Xiu. Then, Fu Ya suddenly felt dizzy. In the blink of an eye, she was carried on the shoulders of the man in black and flew deep into the forest using his Qinggong skills.
Yuan Guiren waited until she could no longer see anyone before turning around and walking back. At the same time, she sighed and said with some fear, "It was also thanks to Xuan Feiyu's accident that Feng Yuheng was tripped up. Otherwise, even if I wanted to send Fu Ya away, it wouldn't be so easy."
Yuexiu also said, "Yes, Princess Ji'an's spies are now watching Concubine Li, so I'm afraid they can't take care of the Queen for the time being. But the fact that Miss Fu Ya came to the camp should not be hidden from them. I wonder if the princess will cause trouble for us."
"It's impossible to find them." Yuan Guiren snorted coldly, "The secret guards were left by Mo'er, and there are so many people outside to help. I think there will be no problem for a safe journey. But my sister makes me very worried. I'm afraid she did this for me..."
"Your Highness." Yuexiu couldn't help but remind Yuan Guiren: "Although Concubine Li is your sister, she has a bad personality and is not close to you at all. In addition, the witchcraft incident that year made her weak in the palace. Now she suddenly made such a fuss. Who knows if it was for you? Besides, how can you be sure that Concubine Li must have done it?"
Yuan Guiren waved her hands and said helplessly, "No matter how close we are, we are still sisters. She used to tinker with that kind of stuff when she was at home, and the women my father married into the family were often tormented by her. This kind of thing happens all year round in the palace. Last time it was her, and this time, it is most likely someone else. Didn't our secret guards also tell us the method of piercing the doll? It is exactly the same as the dolls she usually makes. Speaking of which, the secret guards are also divided into different levels! Our people want to explore Feng Yuheng's tent, it is difficult to move an inch. If she hadn't sent the doll to the second brother, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark."
Yuexiu nodded, "Yes, Princess Ji'an was really patient. She only handed the case over to the Second Prince for investigation and did not cause any trouble to the Emperor."
"This is her understanding, and it is also the proper measure. There is a big banquet tonight. The emperor has no time to think about Feiyu's matter. If she brings it up again, I think we can't hold the winter camp. I have to return to the palace tomorrow. Anyway, keep a close eye on Concubine Li. I have been demoted to a noble lady now, and my sister can't get into trouble again." He said so, but just after he finished speaking, he sighed, "Alas, to be honest, what's the use of keeping a close eye on her. Her temper... She will reveal her tracks before people find out about her. I saw that she was so flustered at the banquet just now that she didn't even dare to raise her head. The emperor finally said a word to her, but she was so scared that she knocked over the wine cup. Forget it, let's each take care of our own lives!"
The two of them walked out of the forest while talking. When they reached the edge of the forest, Yuexiu suddenly pulled Concubine Yuan and whispered, "Look, Madam, is there someone standing at the entrance of the forest?"
When she said this, Concubine Yuan was also startled. She looked carefully and saw that it was indeed a figure standing at the entrance of the forest. She looked like a woman. Her face turned pale and her voice trembled: "What, what is that?"
Yuexiu shook her head, "I don't know, was your Highness discovered when she entered the forest?"
"There should be no one, but I can't see everywhere, so it's inevitable that someone will be watching me. But even if someone saw me leaving, it's not a big deal. Who can follow me all the way here? And she's just a single woman, so brave...ah!" She was suddenly startled, "Could it be...her?"
