Fang Rujiang, a Lanzhou medicine merchant, went to Feng Mansion several times to persuade Fu Ya to open Baicaotang in Lanzhou. The news spread quickly and reached the ears of the people of Lanzhou.
Originally, this was nothing, but the invasion of the desert coalition forces made the war in Biannan increasingly tense. Every day, a large number of wounded soldiers were sent from Biannan to Lanzhou and admitted to Lanzhou's medical clinics. Wounded soldiers could be seen in the streets and alleys. Some medical clinics were full of patients, so beds were laid out on the street. The bloody smell was everywhere. Although the war had not yet reached Lanzhou, the people of Lanzhou had already felt the tense atmosphere in advance.
In this atmosphere, the people suddenly heard that a drug dealer wanted to open Baicaotang with Princess Ji'an, and they all agreed with the news. Everyone knew that Princess Ji'an was a skilled doctor, and everyone knew that she had rare medicines. Although people in the south had never seen how Baicaotang treated diseases, some rumors had spread here. The rumors made Princess Ji'an sound so magical that people thought she was a god.
In the current situation, if Princess Ji'an could open Baicaotang, it would be a great thing to benefit the people!
Therefore, the people of Lanzhou organized themselves, and every day a large number of people gathered outside the Feng Mansion to petition, hoping that Fu Ya would agree to open a hundred medicine halls to help the people of Lanzhou. In addition, there were people coming to the clinics that received a large number of wounded soldiers to ask Princess Ji'an to come out and help them treat the wounded soldiers who were really helpless for them.
For more than ten days, there was no peace in the Feng Mansion. More and more people came from outside to block and petition. In the end, even the back door of the Feng Mansion was turned inside, and the Feng Mansion was surrounded from all directions.
In Feng Mansion, no matter the master or servant, they were too scared to go out. Fu Ya even claimed to be sick and declared that doctors cannot heal themselves. She was sick and there was nothing she could do. But in fact, she and Feng Jinyuan were studying how to deal with it every day. They didn't know whether to drive away the people who came to petition. She was anxious and lost a lot of weight.
Feng Jinyuan calculated the days and said, "According to the rules, we should be able to get a reply after sending the letter to the capital by flying eagle."
Fu Ya said: "Even if there is a problem with our letter delivery, there should be news sent to us from the capital. Now that Concubine Yuan is in the palace, and the Eighth Prince is also in the palace, they can't let us figure out how to deal with this matter on our own. They arranged all this pomp and circumstance, so why are they leaving us alone now? Who will clean up the mess with such a big stall?" She complained a little. Originally, there was no rush for any movement, but now the situation was deadlocked to this point, she had to be anxious.
Feng Jinyuan was also anxious, but he knew that he had to calm down first, at least to keep Fu Ya stable, and not make any mistakes at this critical moment. He analyzed with Fu Ya, "It's chaotic outside, and I'm afraid that things in the capital are also complicated. It's possible that the letter from the Eighth Prince was robbed on the way. But don't be afraid, didn't we discuss it a few days ago? Since someone gave us money to open a grass shop, then we will open it, and then we can invite some famous doctors to sit in the clinic. You are a girl, and a princess of a golden branch and jade leaf, how can you go to the clinic in person to see patients. Even in the capital, that person herself will not go. So it's okay to open a Baicaotang. As for those clinics that want to invite you out of retirement, you can continue to claim to be sick, and they can't do anything. And those strange medicines are really not working, so if you can't get them from Baicaotang in other places, send people out to buy them, there is always a way."
"How long do you have to pretend to be sick?" Fu Ya was obviously a little impatient. She couldn't go out all day and had to hide in the house like a thief. She really couldn't stand this kind of life anymore.
"It shouldn't be long. News from the capital will come back soon."
As soon as Feng Jinyuan said this, he heard the footsteps of a servant coming hurriedly outside. It was a secret guard who stayed in the southern border. The man stopped at the door and said, "There is news in the capital."
The two were overjoyed and quickly called someone in. After the person came in, he just handed them a letter rolled up in a tube and then left.
Feng Jinyuan opened the letter, which was written by the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo. He gave them some instructions on their life in Lanzhou, but it was just an ordinary explanation, telling them to continue to live as Feng Yuheng, and not to worry about anything else. If there was anything they couldn't handle, they could go to Ji Lingtian, and he would have his own way. But at the end of the letter, a major event was mentioned: the command of the 300,000 troops in Biannan had been handed over to the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming. If nothing unexpected happened, the Ninth Prince would lead the army to the South Border after the first month of the year. In addition, Feng Yuheng went to the fiefdom, and it was possible that he would walk from the fiefdom to Lanzhou, so he had to be careful.
This time, not to mention Fu Ya, even Feng Jinyuan was a little confused. He had a habitual fear of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. He thought that he could completely get rid of them when he arrived in the south, but he didn't expect that the situation in the south suddenly changed, and the Ninth Prince took over the 300,000 troops in the south.
What does this mean? Doesn't this mean that the Southern Realm has fallen into the hands of the Ninth Prince again? What about the Eighth Prince? What is going on? Feng Jinyuan was puzzled.
Fu Ya had the same doubts as him. They both stared at the letter blankly, feeling sad.
"Father." After a while, Fu Ya spoke, "Are we useless? Once the Ninth Prince comes, our identities will be guessed. What's more, that person is going to come here. What's my business in Lanzhou?" She smiled bitterly, "Fake is fake after all. No matter how we arrange it, it will be exposed one day. We shouldn't think about opening Baicaotang anymore. We should think about how to escape, right? Once the Ninth Prince comes, how can we survive?"
Feng Jinyuan shuddered. This fear was subconscious and had already penetrated his heart, so he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not as pessimistic as Fu Ya said. He analyzed, "The Eighth Prince only told us to be careful in the letter, but did not tell us to withdraw immediately. Instead, he asked us to live normally here as before. What does this mean?" He thought, "This means that the Eighth Prince has a trick up his sleeve. Think about it, the 300,000 troops in Biannan, can they just hand them over to the Ninth Prince? 300,000 troops and 300,000 hearts have followed the Eighth Prince through life and death for so many years. How could they suddenly listen to the Ninth Prince's words?"
"Father means..."
"There's something fishy going on here!" Feng Jinyuan became excited. He felt that his analysis was on point. "The Ninth Prince came to the Southern Realm as a trap set by the Eighth Prince. We might make him come but never return. By then, the Southern Realm will still be ours!"
"Really?" Fu Ya's mind became more active, no longer as lifeless as before, "If this is true, then we are still valuable." She was very happy, "As long as we are still useful to His Highness the Eighth Prince, we will not be abandoned soon. If we work hard, His Highness will definitely fulfill the conditions he promised." She looked at Feng Jinyuan and smiled, "Father, let's do as you say. We will continue to plan to open Baicaotang. I will find a way to let the maid go out and tell the prefect to find a way to get medicine from Baicaotang in other provinces to get through this hurdle."
The two of them reached a consensus, became more energetic, and immediately started to get ready.
In the Yao Mansion in Kyoto, the Xu, Qin and Miao families were already prepared to leave the capital, but Miao changed her mind before leaving. She thought that they could not all go to Ji'an County. Even though Ah Heng needed relatives to take care of her, there was still Zirui in Xiaozhou. If they all went so far away, if something happened to Zirui, he would not have his aunt by his side, after all, the child was still young.
When Xu and the others heard this, they thought it was true, so Xu waved her hand and said, "Then you go to Xiaozhou, and my second brother and his wife and I will go to Ji'an County."
Everyone in the Yao family was helpless about the decision of the three. Yao Jingjun was always worried that they would cause trouble to Feng Yuheng after they went there. But later Yao Xian said that it was fine for Xu and Qin to go there. No matter how capable Heng was, she was just a child in his eyes. What's more, she would be coming of age in a few months. It was unlikely for her to return to the capital to perform the coming-of-age ceremony, so there had to be an elder in the family to make arrangements first.
As soon as Yao Xian mentioned this, Yao Jingjun and others also reacted, and also thought of what the Ninth Prince had always said, that the wedding should be held on the day when Feng Yuheng came of age. But now that the South Realm is in turmoil, the wedding may have to be postponed, but the coming of age ceremony still has to be held. Thinking of this, Yao Jingjun immediately changed his position and began to urge Xu and Qin to set off as soon as possible, and repeatedly confirmed whether the things they brought were enough. Xu was annoyed by asking so many times, but he was still worried, so he simply made a decision: "When Ah Heng comes of age, our whole family will go, you can go first and prepare over there, and the remaining things that are not brought can be taken when we go there."
In this way, Xu and Qin, accompanied by their entire family, boarded the carriage bound for their fiefdom in Ji'an County, while Miao also boarded a carriage bound for Xiaozhou.
Watching the carriage go far away, Yao Xian sighed in his heart, thinking that although Feng Yuheng had to deal with the Feng family in this new life, fortunately, the Yao family treated him sincerely, so he didn't suffer too much. He instructed Yao Jingjun: "Send two secret guards to follow and protect behind, and send one to Xiaozhou as well. Although Xiaozhou is close, we can't let anything go wrong. The eldest daughter-in-law is far away, so we have to take good care of her."
Yao Jingjun nodded and agreed, and quickly dispatched personnel. Xu and Qin only brought a maid with them, and a coachman. Two people sat in a carriage, and there were two carriages of goods in the back. It would not work without someone to protect them. Fortunately, there were many secret guards in the Yao Mansion now. He thought about it and sent the secret guards sent from the Prince Yu's Mansion, and told the two to report to Feng Yuheng after arriving at the fiefdom and stay there.
The Yao family had just sent away the three ladies, and the boys were still in grief over their "mother abandoning them". Yao Shu ordered his men to close the gate of the mansion, and just as he reached the door, before he could talk to the doorman, he saw two people sneaking up outside the door, walking along the side, peeking their heads out, and covering their faces with their big sleeves. They didn't look like good people.
He frowned and asked unhappily, "What do you two do?"
