Chapter 1223 Eighteen years old
When it was dawn, Feng Xiangrong fell into a coma again in the princess's mansion. The doctor who stayed in the mansion saw it, but shook his head and said to An: "Miss Three is always stimulated by inexplicable nerves. If this continues, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the boss to come back."
An was anxious, "What should I do? Doctor, think of a solution. Even if I drag it hard, I have to drag it until the second lady comes back!"
The doctor sighed: "It's not the time when external forces can make the third lady procrastinate her life. Everything depends on herself. If she can't get out of the shadow of the death of the Seventh Prince, she is afraid it's this disease..."
When it comes to the Seventh Prince, An had no choice. Do you want this child to come out of that shadow? She had worked hard at the beginning, but since she had been fighting last night, she has never had any hope.
Xiangrong couldn't get out of that shadow. She even had an inexplicable strange premonition about the Seventh Prince. People who were still sleeping could know that Prince Chun's mansion must have come out. After Ren Xifeng went to see the news from the secret guards, something really happened there. Such an accurate premonition made her feel very scared. If she continued like this, her daughter would definitely go with the Seventh Prince! She also felt sorry for the prince as good as the gods, but she felt even more sorry for her daughter. Xiangrong was only fifteen years old and had just passed away. How could she disappear from this world so early?
Concubine Yun's illness was hidden by the Sixth Prince, and ordered all insiders such as Prince Chun's mansion and doctor Baicaotang not to be rumored. Everything should be the same as before, and people from outside must not see the clues.
Dashun was already in chaos. Finally, the eastern border was calmed down, and something happened to Lao Qi again. Now that strange forces have emerged from the people. In such a situation, if the matter of Concubine Yun spreads, if it reaches his father's ears, he will never dare to think about the consequences.
Therefore, this matter can only be hidden. To the outside world, that is, the water was accidentally left by Prince Chun's mansion, because the servants were burning paper money for the Seventh Prince. It was acceptable to people.
However, the atmosphere in Beijing is even more dull and depressing.
The fastest journey from Yuanzong and Sui Kyoto to Dashun Kyoto was more than four months. When the carriage of Xuantian Ming Feng Yuheng finally approached Kyoto, it was already in the twelfth lunar month.
Inside the carriage, Feng Yuheng wrapped a down quilt, held an electric water bag, and leaned against Xuan Tianming. Huang Quan was pulling a corner of the down quilt and studying: "The hairs of ducks and big gooses are put on here? Can this thing keep warmer than cotton?"
Feng Yuheng nodded: "It must be warmer than cotton. But to be precise, it is not duck feather. It is called down. Down is a thing called fiber and has higher heat preservation than cotton." She simply explained that in fact, it is not just about down. She even conducted experiments in Dashun to change down jackets for the soldiers. Huang Quan actually saw down jackets, but no matter what she said, people in ancient times still could not fully understand what down was. It is still there, why down was warmer than cotton.
She stretched out her feet under the quilt, kicked Xuan Tianming, and said in a depressed voice: "Based on the years, I'm already eighteen years old this year, so fast. This battle has been fought for a year, and the journey back and forth is long. Fortunately, we will fight quickly. If we were a little slower, we wouldn't have grown old."
Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly, "Don't say, there was a battle that would have been half a lifetime. Even when Dashun was built for less than a hundred years, the four continents were not peaceful, especially in the northern border, and there was always trouble. The emperor sent a general to suppress the troublemakers in the northern border, and a town lasted for forty years. The general left when he was in his twenties, and was already over sixty when he came back. His hair and beard were gray, so that his grandson looked very similar to his youth. The emperor was moved and promised one of his princesses to the general's grandson and left him to enjoy his old age in the capital. Although the process was sad, the ending was also a happy ending."
Huang Quan was so surprised that he heard it, "Forty years! God, if he had been on the border battlefield for forty years, would people be crazy?"
Wangchuan was more rational than her, and what he thought was: "For 40 years, he would not give any military orders abroad. I am afraid that the old general's temperament is extremely difficult to tame. In addition to leaving him in the capital, he should also be imprisoned."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Indeed, every monarch has to guard against those who are more capable than the lord. Therefore, the monarch of Dashun no longer delegated too much military power to his ministers, but most of them were handed over to the prince. In this way, even if the prince rebelled, he would have committed his own rebellion. Dashun was still the surname Xuan."
As he said, he glanced at Feng Yuheng and said helplessly: "You are distracted again. You are also absent-minded when I tell you a story. Hengheng, some things have happened, so we will find a way to solve them. We cannot be immersed in regret all the time, as that will be useless."
Feng Yuheng also knew this, but she was just upset! "Are you talking about Duanmu Anguo or the remnants of the Zongsui royal family who sent the news back to Dashun? Isn't this a fucking trouble? My father and mother knew how sad it was about Brother Qi, and I also wanted to accept that girl, and I don't know if she could support me back to Beijing." She said as she lifted the curtain of the carriage. It was snowing outside, and they hurried in the carriage to warm up, but Duanmu Anguo was just sitting in the prison carriage outside, with the wind and snow covered, and people were almost frozen.
Unfortunately, no one pityed him, and the secret guards accompanying him even removed the coat from him. The old thief could curse a few words at the beginning, but gradually, as Kyoto got closer and closer, the weather became colder and colder, and he was so cold that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"If I hadn't felt that it was too cheap to die all at once, I really wanted to stab him to death now." Feng Yuheng gritted his teeth, "I always wanted to hide the matter of Qi Ge, but I still knew it in the capital. The secret guards returned the news that the entire capital was mourning for Qi Ge, so how could the mother not know? Xuan Tianming, you shouldn't send a letter back to confirm that Qi Ge passed away, after all, he didn't..."
"But we can't confirm that Brother Qi is still there, right?" He pulled his little wife back from the window. Huang Quan quickly put down the curtains of the car to isolate the ice and snow outside. "Since it cannot be confirmed, it's better to follow the outside world's words, otherwise how do you say we should explain it? Just say that Brother Qi is still alive, but where is the person? Going to Renxian Island? That reason can't even deceive the mother's mother, so why do you deceive the world? Besides, there are too many people who know about the explosion in Tongcheng, and we can't block Youyou's mouth no matter what. Therefore, even if no one does this on purpose, the people will pass on it word by word, it should be spread to Dashun Kyoto."
Feng Yuheng had to admit that Xuan Tianming was right. The seventh prince's affairs could not be hidden. She told people that Xuan Tianhua was not dead. But what about the evidence? Under such a thunder explosion, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured, right? What about the injury?
After all, she couldn't produce any evidence. Xuan Tianhua can only stay in her space now, using the particularity of the space to keep it in a state without deteriorating. Once taken out, it is very likely that the injury will worsen in an instant and will never have the power to turn the world back.
She couldn't take that risk, so there was no other way except to admit Xuan Tianhua's death.
Just because she was worried that she had a bad premonition in Beijing, even though Emperor Tianwu had already made full preparations for the lonely family in a high position, what about Concubine Yun? What would happen to Concubine Yun, who always regarded Xuan Tianhua as her biological son?
"Can you get a little faster?" She was anxious to return to Beijing, "The New Year is coming soon. The last year was built. At least this New Year must be at her own home, right?"
Xuan Tianming nodded and said a few words to Bai Ze who was driving the car outside, and the speed of the car was faster. But Feng Yuheng was still anxious. Xuan Tianming saw that she was upset and comforted him: "This is the fastest. It snows and the horse's hooves slip. Don't worry, no matter what happens, just wait until we return to Beijing, and deal with it one by one." He comforted his wife, but in fact, he was also very confused. He also had that bad premonition, but he didn't dare to say it, afraid that he could hit the nail on the head.
In the capital, Feng Fandai's courtyard was very lively. Xuan Tianyan added a lot of servants to her. Although the entire capital was not happy because of the seventh prince's affairs, no one hung red lights and added new tiles even during the Chinese New Year. But the atmosphere was not good, so there was always some food. Dongying said: "The fifth prince sent two chefs from Prince Li's mansion to come here, saying that he would prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, and he would come to us to eat."
Feng Fandai nodded: "Okay, the chef of Prince Li's mansion knows his taste better. Just tell the chef that he just picks up what he likes to eat. I don't have any preferences in food, just let him do it."
"Miss." Dongying advised her: "You can't let the cook control the stomach of the fifth prince. You are his fiancée. You know what he likes to eat best." As soon as Dongying opened her mouth, she felt that she had a lot to say to Feng Fandai, so she simply put down the embroidered pattern in her hand and sat next to Fandai: "When the lady first told the fifth prince that she wanted to postpone the wedding date, I was really worried. You two finally got to talk about marriage.
At that time, the wedding room of the fifth prince was ready, but you pushed the wedding date again. If the fifth prince was angry, we would not be worth the loss. Fortunately, the fifth prince listened to the lady and agreed to push the wedding date. However, Miss! You should be more enthusiastic. When you meet the fifth prince, you should at least give him a smile first and learn more about his preferences, such as what foods he likes to eat, what clothes he likes to wear, which is what his wife should do in the future."
Fan Dai laughed, "You girl, you seem to be very experienced, but you are actually not a big daughter who is not married." She sighed, put down the wedding dress embroidered in her hand, looked at the awkward stitches on her head, and shook her head helplessly, "I'd better not embroider myself, go to the embroidery shop to hire an embroiderer! With my little time to wear it out, it's also a joke."
Dongying nodded: "Okay, Your Highness the fifth prince said that you don't need the lady to do anything by yourself, just leave it to the servants."
"Actually, I really wanted to embroider a wedding dress for myself once. However, I didn't have the skills. I didn't have the foundation when I was in Feng Mansion. Now I haven't touched needles and threads for so many years, and I have even had my hands." Fan Dai thought of Feng Mansion and felt emotional, "I never thought that I would get married in such a simple little yard. I used to think that no matter how bad I was, I would marry from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion! But at least I live more freely than before, but..." She lowered her head and looked sad, "I have to push the wedding date..."
