Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife
Chapter 766 – Who Dares to Bully This Prince’s Wife?Who Dares to Bully This Prince’s Wife?
Xuan Tian Ming had returned!
After Imperial Concubine Yun tried to chase her away with a secretive look on her face, Feng Yu Heng was finally able to realize that Imperial Concubine Yun was giving her a message that was very joyous. For someone like Imperial Concubine Yun, the only thing that could make her rejoice like this would be the return of her son from the South!
Feng Yu Heng happily walked out of the bedchamber and brought Wang Chuan to Winter Moon Palace’s front yard. Although she was anxious to meet with Xuan Tian Ming, there were some things that she was worried about and needed to provide some advice. Thus she called Su Yu, the head palace maid that was escorting her, and said to her: “Arrange for some more people to stay around the outside of Winter Moon Palace. Keep an eye out and keep watch over a larger distance. They need to keep an eye out on everything within 50 paces.”
Su Yu was startled and did not understand what Feng Yu Heng intended with these arrangements, but she also knew that she would not say something like this at random, thus she quickly asked: “Did Princess notice something outside the palace? Was there someone suspicious?”
Feng Yu Heng though for a bit but did not reply directly. Instead, she said: “It would be best to send some hidden guards into Jing Si Palace to take a look. I recall that during the Winter Hunt, Imperial Concubine Li was demoted to noble lady, and she has been locked inside Jing Si Palace. She is residing in a side hall. Send some people over there to keep an eye out.
Su Yu was puzzled, “This servant also heard about it, but His Majesty gave the order to not allow her half a step outside of Jing Si Palace?”
This was what Feng Yu Heng was truly worried about. Since the Emperor had handed down an imperial decree, it would be impossible that there would be no guards outside of Jing Si Palace, but Noble Lady Li was still able to get out of the palace. This left her with no choice but to feel worried. Not to mention what exactly she was doing standing outside of Winter Moon Palace, but just her being able to escape from a place that was heavily guarded was worthy of being investigated.
“Either way, send some people to keep an eye on her. She is still able to get out of Jing Si Palace. I have seen it. Right before I entered, she was standing alone on the small path that leads to Winter Moon Palace. I don’t know what she did, but I have already examined the outside, and there were no strange items. Thinking about it, she did not have much of a chance to take action. Just keep an eye out.”
Su Yu also realized the severity of the situation, thus she solemnly nodded and thanked Feng Yu Heng. Only then did she escort her out of the palace. Feng Yu Heng left the imperial palace and directly entered her imperial carriage. Before she could give an order, Ban Zou, who was dressed as the driver, lifted the curtain with a criminal smile and said to her: “Let’s go out of the city, is that alright?”
Feng Yu Heng asked: “Has His Highness the ninth prince returned?”
Ban Zou nodded, “If you rush toward the city’s southern gate, you should be able to arrive just in time for His Highness entering the city.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Quickly, let’s go to the southern gate!” Following Ban Zou’s order, the carriage quickly began to move. It was early in the evening, and the sky was already dark. There were not many people out on the streets during Winter, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground. The air was very fresh. Feng Yu Heng began to complain about Xuan Tian Ming, “He didn’t even say anything before coming back.”
Wang Chuan laughed at her while also consoling her: “Perhaps His Highness wanted to give Young Miss a pleasant surprise.”
“Hmph!” Feng Yu Heng pouted, “Then this imperial daughter might as well forgive him.” While saying this, the corners of her lips began to curl up without her noticing. This smile could not be held back no matter what.
Ban Zou moved at the highest speed possible to rush toward the southern gate and stopped in front of the gate. Feng Yu Heng was confused and lifted the curtain to ask him: “What are you stopping for? Let’s go out of the city to welcome him.”
Ban Zou pointed forward and said: “There’s no need to receive him. His Highness has entered the city.” While he said this, he reached into the carriage to help Feng Yu Heng out.
Feng Yu Heng stood outside the carriage and looked forward. She saw that there was a group coming in from outside the city’s gate. There were not many people, and it looked to be around ten attendants. In the middle, there was a carriage that could not be considered resplendent, but it was not lacking in dignity. Three horses pulled it together, and it was clear that it could move quite quickly.
The group headed toward her imperial carriage, and those attendants had been wanting to go ahead to have people get out of the way, but once they got a little closer, they found that it was Imperial Daughter Ji An, thus they happily retreated back. Someone said something into the carriage, and a man in purple robes leaped out. Standing outside the carriage, his arms were folded over his chest as he squinted in her direction.
A light snow fell on this winter evening, as the snowflakes landed on her long eyelashes and red marten-fur cloak. Looking from a distance, she looked like a porcelain doll standing in the snow. The beauty of it made people want to hold it in their hands. Xuan Tian Ming also extended his arms as if to receive a certain person diving into his embrace. A faint expectation and lots of love could be seen in his eyes.
A certain little girl was very lacking in restraint. Upon seeing her sweetheart express himself so eagerly, how could she hold back. Thus she quickly gave Ban Zou a few kicks and spoke without moving her lips: “Quickly, take me and fly over.”
Ban Zou disdained this greatly and did not give his master any face, saying: “If you have the ability, fly on your own!”
“If I could fly, would I still need you?”
“You’ve practiced qinggong for over two years. Why is it that you haven’t improved at all? Aren’t you usually quite skilled?”
“Stop wasting time. Move quickly. His group is about to come over here, and the atmosphere will be lacking. At this sort of time, flying over would be best. Quickly, quickly, quickly.”
Ban Zou was rushed and could do nothing about it. He could only use his qinggong to “throw” the girl into Xuan Tian Ming’s embrace. Right before throwing her, he did not forget to mutter; “Idiot.” When he threw her, the light snow filled the sky, and it was a very beautiful scene.
Feng Yu Heng did not have time to concern herself with him, as she soared forward. Without being off-target in the slightest, she landed in Xuan Tian Ming’s embrace. Xuan Tian Ming spread his arms and tightly caught the young girl. He then held her to his chest and held her tightly.
“Xuan Tian Ming.” Her nose burned a little, and her voice was a bit hoarse. Her eyes were moist, but she stubbornly believed that it was from the snowflakes. Looking up, she said to her man in a spoiled voice: “You finally came back. If you came back any later, you wouldn’t be able to see me.”
Xuan Tian Ming looked at her little appearance and wanted to laugh, but he felt that he should hold it in. At a time like this, he could not laugh at her. As a result, he held it in for a long time but could not hold back. In the end, he still laughed and prodded her little nose with his hand: “Why could I not see you? Could it be that my wife would run away? This prince really must ask and see, where are you planning to run to?”
Feng Yu Heng glared at him: “It’s not running, it’s from being bullied.”
Once these words came out, Bai Ze, who was driving the carriage, could not bear to continue listening and mumbled: “Who would believe it! It’s already good enough if you don’t bully others.”
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow and kicked Bai Ze: “Shut your mouth, shut your mouth! If you say another word, I won’t let you see Fu Rong.”
Bai Ze lost the will to continue and obediently shut his mouth to continue driving.
Xuan Tian Ming also asked: “Who could bully you?”
Feng Yu Heng’s little hand fiddled with the buttons on his clothes and unhappily said: “Either way, there are lots of people bullying me. Xuan Tian Ming, I missed you. I no longer have any family, and there’s only you. In the future, you can’t bully me, understand? If you also bully me, I really will be left without any friends, and there won’t be any point in living.”
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Xuan Tian Ming glared at her, “You aren’t allowed to speak nonsense.” But in his heart, he understood that although he was in the South, the things in the capital could not be hidden from his information network. He was even clear on Feng Jin Yuan’s group heading South. Pulling the girl in his embrace in tighter, he gently patted her back, “What is this about being completely without friends. You still have me, Father Emperor and Imperial Concubine Mother. Isn’t this set of parents much better than the one from before? You should be happy.”
She happily raised her head, and her eyes were still sparkling; however, she happily said to him: “That’s right, it’s much better than before. Now that you’ve come back, the days will be even better. Xuan Tian Ming, it’s almost the new year. I was worried that you might not make it back in time, and I thought that if you could not make it back to the capital for the new year, I would go South to look for you, and we would meet up along the way. We would then celebrate the new year together. That would also be quite good.”
He lovingly patted the girl’s head and dotingly said: “I promised you that I would rush back before the new year. I definitely would not lie. Let’s go.” He let go of the embrace and dragged the girl into the carriage, “Accompany this prince into the palace.”
Entering the palace again? She had just come out!
Sure enough, Feng Yu Heng was not the only one with these thoughts. The people in the palace also thought this way! The two directly entered the palace and arrived at Heavenly Hall. When they were still quite far away, a report was sent inside. Zhang Yuan was already standing outside and waiting for them.
Because the Emperor’s hip was no good, he did not move. He had been preparing to rest inside Heavenly Hall for the night. Now that he heard that Xuan Tian Ming had returned, he was extremely happy and began to arrange for the imperial kitchen to prepare dinner. No matter what, he wanted to have the two eat dinner in the palace before leaving. It was such that the things that Xuan Tian Ming wished to report about the South had to be reported while eating.
Xuan Tian Ming had not returned for many months and naturally needed to speak with the Emperor for a while. Feng Yu Heng was understanding and retreated to the side. Zhang Yuan tugged at her sleeve and asked: “Imperial daughter only left for an hour, yet you returned so quickly?”
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed, “That’s right. If I knew beforehand, it would have been better if I didn’t go out.”
That night’s dinner, the two accompanied the Emperor and ate in the palace. In Feng Yu Heng’s eyes, the feast was on par with celebrating the new year. In the entire feast, not a single trace of green could be seen, as it was all meat. She felt uncomfortable and could not continue eating. Casting a look at Zhang Yuan for support, Zhang Yuan spread his hands and quietly said to her: “The imperial kitchen said it. This was all decided on by the Emperor himself. If this was in the past when the Empress Dowager was still alive, this sort of thing would never be brought up, no matter what was said. This servant also advised him numerous times, but the Emperor is getting older, and he is getting more and more stubborn. It seems that this servant can no longer control him. Hah!”
Zhang Yuan sighed, and Feng Yu Heng also sighed. She could only go along with it and eat a bit. At the same time, she thought about how to advise the Emperor to not eat so much meat. Who knew that before she could speak up, a eunuch led a palace maid in from the outside. The palace maid stood in front of the Emperor and saluted then said: “This servant is a servant in Winter Moon Palace and came to deliver a message from Imperial Concubine Yun to Your Majesty. Imperial Concubine said that the thing she hates most is a man that smells of meat. Hearing that Your Majesty has recently been eating nothing but meat and no vegetables, Imperial Concubine feels that the smell of the meat has drifted all the way to Winter Moon Palace. She feels nauseous from smelling it. If Your Majesty continues to insist on eating like this, she will move out of the palace and never want to return!”
