Twenty carriages, plus Feng Yuheng, a hitchhiker, totaled twenty-one masters, representing twenty-one mansions. When such a team arrived at the gate of Prince Sheng's Mansion and expressed their request to see the Eighth Prince, the people of Prince Sheng's Mansion first refused.
But when they saw Xuan Tiange, they felt that it was useless to refuse. When would this unruly princess tolerate being rejected? As long as she stood here, would it be useful to refuse?
So the servants reluctantly let all of them in. Xuan Tiange pulled Feng Yuheng and rushed in without any hesitation, saying as he rushed, "Follow me, follow me! You may not be familiar with these palaces in the capital, but I am familiar with them! I played in all these places when I was a child! Come on, I'll take you to the Eighth Prince's courtyard. Remember, when you see the Eighth Prince later, no matter how bad his face is, you are not allowed to smile! Although being scratched by a woman is ugly, we are here to show concern and condolences, and we can't deviate from our original intention."
The young ladies behind him nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood the main idea of today, and then followed Xuan Tiange's footsteps. It didn't take long before they arrived at the courtyard where Xuan Tianmo lived.
"Myna! Hengheng and I are here to see you! Are you happy? Are you excited?" As soon as he stepped in, Xuan Tiange was already shouting at the top of his lungs. Feng Yuheng wanted to laugh when he heard it. Happy? Excited? Maybe the Eighth Prince was so angry that he was about to vomit blood?
Facts have proved that Feng Yuheng knows the Eighth Prince very well. Xuan Tianmo feels like vomiting blood at this moment. He is still lying on the bed, every muscle and bone in his body hurts, and he doesn't want to move at all. But at this moment, he hears Xuan Tiange's deadly voice, and he said to take Feng Yuheng with him? Why does he sound like he is here to see him, but rather to mess things up?
With the help of servants, he finally sat up from the bed. Before he could tidy up his clothes, the door was pushed open forcefully and rudely. Then, with a cry, his cousin, who was regarded as a treasure by Emperor Tianwu, came in hurriedly.
"Oh my my dear!" This was Xuan Tiange's opening remark after she heard the news, because she saw the half of Xuan Tianmo's face that was scratched by Zhu Kongshan. "My dear, how did you become like this? Isn't this disfigured? I thought it was just a minor scratch, but now it looks quite serious. I'm afraid it will never be able to recover in this lifetime?" She asked Feng Yuheng beside her while she was talking, "Ah Heng, do you think this can be cured?" As she spoke, she actually reached out to touch Xuan Tianmo's face.
Xuan Tianmo certainly couldn't let her touch him, so he quickly dodged away and said angrily, "How old are you? Why are you still touching me?"
"No matter how old I am, I am still your cousin! I am not embarrassed to care about your injury. What is there for a grown man like you to be shy about?"
Shy? Xuan Tianmo almost choked to death by this word. How could a grown man like him be associated with the word shy?
Before he could say anything else, Feng Yuheng said quietly, "It's hard to heal. Even if the flesh grows back, there will definitely be scars left."
The voice was loud enough for the young ladies who followed in from behind to hear. Ren Xifeng and Feng Tianyu looked at each other and suddenly said loudly, "Ah? It's not going to get better? That Eighth Prince is too pitiful!"
"Yes, yes! You will become an ugly man with a ghost face in the future. Even if you have the status of a prince, it will be difficult for beautiful girls to marry into the Sheng Palace, right?"
"Yes! After all, this face is too scary. If you wake up in the middle of the night and see it, you might be scared to death. No one can ignore their own life just because of the identity of Princess Sheng! Alas, the Eighth Prince is really pitiful."
As soon as the two of them took the lead, the young ladies who followed them immediately knew how to respond as if they had received an order. So, everyone followed Ren Xifeng and the others' words and talked about all kinds of things. In just a short while, Xuan Tianmo was forced to go to the countryside and marry an ugly woman, and live a life of humiliation. Some even said, "I used to admire the Eighth Prince, but now that he is like this, the last bit of admiration in my heart has been scared away."
Xuan Tianmo was confused after hearing this. He was a man, not a woman, so what? A facial injury was equivalent to ruining one's life? Who made up this rule? Every man has his share of minor scratches and bumps, so why did these people make it seem like he had no chance of survival?
He really wanted to explain himself, but as a grown man, facing more than twenty women, he felt like he had fallen into a sparrow's nest, hearing endless chattering in his ears. He opened his mouth several times to interject, but failed. He almost suffocated to death.
Led by Xuan Tiange, these young ladies expressed their "ardent" concern for the Eighth Prince. Some even wiped away a few tears in a formal manner. Some even said, "If the Eighth Prince doesn't mind, the girl next to me is quite sensible. Let her bear the grievance a little and come to Prince Sheng's Mansion to be the principal wife!"
Without waiting for the Eighth Prince to speak, Xuan Tiange immediately waved his hand and took over the conversation: "No, no, our Hengheng has long said that everyone is equal. We can't just marry a maid off casually just because she is a servant, let alone marrying her to an ugly girl with a disfigured face... Oh, my dear, I didn't mean to hurt you. I said the wrong thing. But my words are rough but my logic is true. You know I have always been outspoken. Even the Emperor can't do anything about me, so don't be angry with me. In short, what I mean is that you can't let others ruin a maid just because your face is ruined. That would be unfair to that girl." After saying that, he turned around and asked Feng Yuheng: "Ah Heng, am I right!"
Feng Yuheng was almost laughing to the point of internal injuries. How could these people come to visit a patient? They were clearly a team that was there to cause trouble. The Eighth Prince's face was almost turning blue with anger.
However, she was very happy to see this effect, and she cooperated very well with Xuan Tiange's words and said, "Yes! Everyone is equal, whether they are princes or maids. If someone is unwilling, forcing them to marry is equivalent to rape."
Xuan Tianmo almost collapsed. Rape? He was a prince, he could have any woman he wanted, why would he rape a girl?
However, he was destined not to get a word in today, there were too many women in the room! You talked to me and I talked to him, and he, a grown man, looked so out of place among this group of sparrows. Although he was annoyed by being scratched on the face, he did not think it was a big deal. However, everyone looked at him with extreme sympathy, as if he could not live without this face. Feng Tianyu even came forward and said, "Eighth Prince, we all understand your feelings. After all, it is not easy to say that you were scratched by your cousin who is actually married to you. Just like a couple living together, other women are obedient to men and men have the final say, but your woman broke this law and turned it around. She became the king and the overlord at home. How embarrassed you are! Look, not only did she not listen to you, she even beat you! Eighth Prince, don't worry, we will never tell this to anyone. Heaven and earth know, you know, and we know. At most, we will go home and nag our family, but it will not be spread to everyone in Dashun."
Xuan Tianmo wanted to ask her, now that it has spread like this, who else doesn't know? What, isn't it enough to cause trouble in the capital, and you guys want to spread it to other provinces?
Then, Ren Xifeng also spoke. She said, "Let's not take this incident too seriously. As a man, everyone has injuries, big or small. My father has countless injuries." Xuan Tianmo just thought this sounded like a human being, but Ren Xifeng immediately said, "But my father's injuries were all left on the battlefield in the early years. That is a man's merit! But the eighth prince's injury was caused by a scratch from a woman in the family. What does that count as?"
Feng Yuheng thought about it and said, "It should be considered a shame."
"Oh!" Xuan Tiange stamped his feet, "That's right! This is called shame! But you must not be too anxious and angry, my brother, we don't laugh at you, and we all sympathize with you, after all, you are injured! If you say the injury is on your face, it is not completely incurable. I remember that the concubines in the palace used to eat something called something to maintain their beauty? It is said that it can also repair damaged appearance. What is it called..."
"Placenta." Feng Yuheng reminded her, "It is the placenta that is separated from the mother's body along with the baby after a woman gives birth. It has high medicinal value. Maybe you don't know the process of collecting placenta, right? Then let me briefly tell you. If you want to use placenta as medicine, you must first collect fresh placenta from healthy mothers, rinse it in clean water, remove the fascia and puncture the blood vessels around the umbilical cord, squeeze out the blood, rinse it repeatedly several times, and gently rub it until it is clean, then use a thin wire circle to tighten it inside, sew it with thread around it, put it in a pot of boiling water and boil it until the placenta floats up, take it out, cut off the amniotic membrane on the side, and then bake it on a smokeless coal fire until it bubbles and becomes crispy."
She spoke patiently, but Xuan Tianmo was nauseated several times. She wanted to remind Feng Yuheng to stop talking many times, but how could she stop him? Xuan Tiange even chimed in, "It is said that when the thing is just taken out of a woman's body, it is bloody and has a fishy smell, which is disgusting! But Brother Ba, for your face, I am willing to find this thing for you. I think it is better to do this. In order to ensure the freshness of the purple river placenta, I will simply find a few women who are about to give birth and send them to the Shengwang Mansion. You can feed them well and ensure the nutrition and health of the pregnant women. When they give birth, just take the purple river placenta. This way it will be fresh and hot. What do you think, Brother Ba?"
Xuan Tianmo couldn't hold it in any longer, so he leaned over the edge of the bed and vomited violently, shocking the ladies so much that they all stepped back, covering their mouths and noses with a look of disgust on their faces.
Feng Yuheng frowned and said worriedly: "Did Miss Zhu hurt Bage internally? Otherwise, why is he still vomiting? Bage is really too disabled! You are still so young, how could Miss Zhu have the heart to do that to you!"
As soon as she said this, Xuan Tiange immediately turned around and waved her hand at the group of people. As if they had received collective training, those young ladies all raised their handkerchiefs to cover their eyes and started to cry.
More than 20 young ladies cried together, the shy ones sobbed, the bold ones just howled, the servants of Prince Sheng's mansion looked at this scene, and suddenly they felt like they were going to hold a funeral in their mansion...
