"There are letters coming from the south, saying that Feng Jinyuan and the other two are living a good life and are acting like decent people. There are rumors in Lanzhou, saying that Princess Ji'an has moved to the south with her parents, and that Princess Ji'an has broken off her engagement with the prince and will marry the eighth prince in the future." He touched his nose, not feeling very good. "The prefect of Lanzhou is the eighth prince's man, and he goes to Feng Jinyuan's yard every now and then, and tells others that he is visiting Princess Ji'an."
Feng Yuheng was amused by what she heard. "So, those three people pretended to be quite similar." She shrugged. "How could they not be similar? In fact, only Fu Ya was fake, and the other two were the real father and mother. That's it. This step was chosen by them, and they will have to bear the consequences in the future. Xuan Tianming, you told me this to ask about my attitude towards the Yao family, right?"
He nodded, "That's right. After all, I have to go to the South Realm first. If those three people make any moves by then, I have to be prepared. Your attitude towards Yao is very important. It determines whether she lives or dies." Xuan Tianming said coldly, but also very practically, "The chances of them being alive are not high. At least from my side, I don't want them to exist in this world anymore and add any trouble to your life."
"Then get rid of her." Feng Yuheng said coldly: "In the past, I broke up with the Yao family and Xiangrong, but that was all for show, for the purpose of protection. But breaking up with the Yao family was sincere." She didn't say much. For that mother, apart from her face, there was no place for her to miss her. But she felt disgusted when she was doing evil with that face. If it was her mother in the previous life, she would never do this. "Speaking of which, it's Feng Jinyuan, you should think about it again." Feng Yuheng suddenly remembered something, "The last time I saw Feng Zhaolian, he specifically mentioned Feng Jinyuan to me. He always suspected that the other part of the Qianzhou treasure map was in Feng Jinyuan's hands. The reason why he moved to live next to Feng Mansion was to make it convenient for his hidden guards to enter the mansion at any time to check, but they found nothing. He said that if we want the treasure, we have to get some truth from Feng Jinyuan. I think, we have the other two copies in our hands, if the last copy is really in Feng Jinyuan's hands, it would be a pity not to have it, don't you think?"
Xuan Tianming laughed, "Gold-hungry." Then he scratched her nose, "Okay, since he has it, let's save his life."
As the two were talking, Yao Xian's voice came from the space. Feng Yuheng quickly used his mind to call the people out, and then handed the injured to Yao Xian to stay behind. He took the maid and the secret guards, followed Xuan Tianming out of the tent, and quickly rushed to the capital.
She hadn't slept all night, so Xuan Tianming suggested that she take a day off and leave tomorrow. But she didn't agree, saying that she was riding in a carriage anyway, and she could still catch up on some sleep if she was tired and sleepy. Xuan Tianming knew she was stubborn, so he didn't try to persuade her. He just helped her check all the necessary things again, and repeatedly told the accompanying staff, and only then did she feel a little relieved.
Feng Yuheng brought quite a few people with him this time. In addition to Wangchuan and Huangquan's two attendants, there were nine secret guards in the mansion, plus the guards who took away nine people, a total of ten people, riding ten fast horses, following all the way. In addition, the cook from Xianya Building in the mansion was also brought along, as well as an accountant. The rest were all the entourage of Baicaotang, a total of twenty people including Wang Lin.
This was a very large team, and with some luggage and other necessary items, several carriages were loaded. After a final count, there were a total of thirty carriages. Xuan Tianming laughed at her for being like a bodyguard, while Feng Yuheng secretly said, "The valuables are all in the space. Anyone who is so blind as to want to rob me will be in big trouble."
Xuan Tianming firmly believed in this.
When he was leaving, the entire Yao family came out to see him off. Xiangrong followed with her own bag, not even taking her maid Shancha with her. The little maid cried and begged to go with him, but in the end Feng Yuheng took pity on her and let her go.
Feng Yuheng did not ride in her palace carriage, because it was too conspicuous, too luxurious, and not suitable for long-distance travel. The carriage she rode in was newly made by Xu, and it was pulled by two horses. The carriage was very large. Except for the entrance, there were seats on the other three sides. These seats were foldable and could be put together to form a large couch. The seats were covered with rabbit skin cushions, which were directly wrapped on the wooden carriage. They were very comfortable to sit on. The couch was just right for the mattress, which was soft and warm. There was a drawer under the seat, which contained some snacks and a few quilts. Because Kyoto was still very cold, a small red clay stove was placed in each carriage to keep people warm.
Xuan Tianming was very satisfied with the new carriage, and for the first time ever, he thanked Xu, which moved Xu greatly.
Feng Yuheng left Beijing today, and many people came to see him off. Xuan Tianming and the people in the Yao Mansion were considered family members, so let's not talk about that for now. An Shi was naturally here to see her daughter off. She didn't come empty-handed either, knowing that she couldn't afford to give anything good, and Feng Yuheng didn't lack good things either, so she made a lot of snacks overnight and brought two large baskets to her for the sisters to eat on the way.
In addition, the eldest prince, the second prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua all came to see him off. These were all people who had friendships with Feng Yuheng. Xiang Rong even secretly told Feng Yuheng, "The fourth prince also wanted to come, but he couldn't leave the house."
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly. She really didn't have any friendship with the Fourth Prince. They were even enemies in the past. But Xiangrong actually followed her like this. She didn't know how the Fourth Prince would be so angry in the mansion.
Of course, this was someone else's business, and she had no right to interfere. She also exchanged pleasantries with the other princes. The eldest prince secretly stuffed a handful of banknotes into her hand, fearing that she would be short of money when she was away from home. But in fact, he knew in his heart that this sister-in-law would not be short of money at all. Not to mention that the ninth prince must have given her everything she should have, she herself was also a master at making money. As for the theft case in the capital, no matter how he thought about it, it was related to this sister-in-law.
The second prince didn't have much to give, so he just gave a painting that Xuan Feiyu asked him to bring, saying that the child drew it himself. The sixth prince was more special, and gave Feng Yuheng a book. The book was handwritten, and the ink was very fresh, so it must have been written recently. Feng Yuheng guessed that it should be written by the sixth prince himself, but he didn't know what was written on it. Now was not the time to look through it, so he could only express his gratitude and didn't say anything more.
Several princes did not see them off, but only watched the convoy leave at the gate of the Princess's Mansion. The ones who saw them off to the city gate were the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming and the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua.
Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong were in the same car, with Wangchuan Huangquan and Xiangrong's maid Shancha also sitting in the car. When they got off at the city gate, they could hear the noise outside, as if more and more people were coming to see them off. Feng Yuheng was puzzled, but Xiangrong couldn't help but lift the car window curtain to look outside. It didn't matter what she saw, she was really shocked - "Second sister, there are so many people outside, both sides of the street are full of people, I can hardly see the end!"
After she said this, Wang Chuan Huang Quan also lifted the curtain to look. Sure enough, a large number of people came to see them off. Everyone was holding a bamboo basket, some of which were filled with steamed buns, some with eggs, and some even with potatoes. They were not valuable, but they were the best things that these poor people could afford.
Feng Yuheng also came over to take a look. Apart from the poor people, there were also some wealthy families participating in the event. The things they held were better. Some were holding cloth and brocade, some were holding jewelry and head ornaments, and some were even holding silver bills.
No matter what they brought, all those who participated in the farewell expressed the same theme at this moment - "Seeing Princess Ji'an off!"
"My princess, you must not forget the people of the capital. You must come back again!"
"Don't worry, Princess. We will help you protect the Princess's Mansion and will never allow anyone to cause trouble there!"
"Princess, please accept our little gift and take it with you for the journey. We are all thinking of you!"
Feng Yuheng couldn't sit still in the carriage any longer, so he stopped the carriage and walked out.
Xuan Tianming came over and helped her down, and then the two of them stood facing the crowd. She didn't know what to say. There were too many people, and even if she spoke, her voice would be drowned out. Feng Yuheng thought about it, and simply bowed deeply to these people, expressing her inner thoughts most directly with actions.
After the bow, the people all cried. No matter men or women, rich or poor, they all knelt on the ground and sobbed. For more than two years, Princess Ji'an's contributions to the capital and Dashun were all imprinted in people's hearts. Even those wealthy businessmen who looked down on others would always remember that Baicaotang cured their own and their families' illnesses time and time again, and that their old mothers no longer had to drink bitter medicine soup when they were sick. Feng Yuheng's kindness was for all people, but when Feng Yuheng left, people felt that the living standards that had been improved in the past two years suddenly fell back.
From now on they will have to continue drinking bitter medicine soup. Many people are thinking in their hearts, they must not get sick, but they must not lose their lives!
People sobbed and gave gifts to Feng Yuheng. When Feng Yuheng returned to the carriage, she did not accept any of the gifts from the people. She just expressed her gratitude. As for whether she would come back, she finally said, "It depends on whether the people who drove me away are willing to let me go."
Feng Yuheng has never been a saint. She will never miss any opportunity to take advantage of others. She is the only one in the world who can mobilize the people's hearts and minds to fight against the Eighth Prince.
Until the carriage left the city, Feng Yuheng did not sit in the carriage, but rode on the same horse with Xuan Tianming.
Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua escorted the convoy to the fork in the road ten miles south of Kyoto. Xuan Tianming pointed to the road to the west and said, "Keep going that way. By dark, you will reach a small county. You can rest there today."
Xuan Tianhua also said: "That small county is called Baishui County. There is only one inn in it. I have sent someone to go there in advance to book the entire inn for you. It is big enough for you to stay."
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, you are too overbearing. If we take over all the rooms, where will others live?"
