Chapter 488 – The Foundation of a Happy Life (2/2)

She naturally did these things with a goal in mind. This world would eventually belong to Xuan Tian Ming, and only Feng Yu Heng would be permitted to stand at his side. In this sort of era, having one Emperor and one Empress was something that people could not quite accept. When that time came, there would inevitably be a great deal of resistance. There would be a number of not very nice things being said. When Xuan Tian Ming became the Emperor, he would no longer be able to willfully act toward the people that he found irritating. He could no longer hit them as he pleased, nor could he kill them as he pleased. He would need to learn to weigh the pros and cons, and he would to try and accept some things that he could not accept in the past. Thus, if she wanted to peacefully be the only person at his side, she would need to put forth her best effort while Xuan Tian Ming had not yet become the Emperor. She would need to build her own foundation and create an even better image of herself for the citizens. This was in hopes that when that day came, there would be fewer voices of discontent, and there would be more people that supported her.

This was all the foundation on which she planned to build a happy life.

Of course, a doctor had a benevolent heart. In the end, she was still a doctor, and her greatest desire was to save as many patients as possible with the people that she had trained and medicine that her space provided. This was also a contribution that she was making toward Xuan Tian Ming’s country.

The three provinces of Ping, Gan and Xu were in the East, South and West of Da Shun respectively. She was preparing to surround the central region until there was a Hundred Herb Hall opened in every province. This would provide every person in Da Shun with medical treatment.

Her thoughts could be hidden from everyone but Yao Xian. He saw a fierce fire burning in his granddaughter’s eyes. Yao Xian knew that this girl was definitely thinking of something. He smiled and patted Feng Yu Heng’s head a couple times. He then said with affection: “Dear granddaughter, no matter what you do, grandfather will support you.”

Feng Yu Heng felt that there were two heartwarming things that had happened since coming to this unfamiliar world. First was meeting Xuan Tian Ming, and the second was meeting her own grandfather. With these two people at her side, she knew that even if she poked a hole in Da Shun’s world, these two could fix it.

She smiled at Yao Xian with a childlike innocence, but the words that were said were not ambiguous in the slightest. She said to Qing Yu: “The orphans living in that residence should be more or less done learning. Choose some of the smarter ones and bring them along. Allow them to handle some matters. Also, if you plan on heading out of the province and are too busy with the capital, you can bring along Xiang Rong.

At this time, Xiang Rong was standing at Qing Yu’s side. Upon hearing her second sister say that she could help out, she nearly teared up from smiling to much. She nodded and expressed: “That’s fine. I will definitely learn properly.”

Qing Yu knew that the Feng family’s third young miss had a bit of a weaker personality, but she still quite a good person. Especially during the previous flood, she had run around the entire capital to gather clothes. This was enough to show that she was able to remain relatively calm during a situation, and she had a certain ability to analyze the situation.

Qing Yu nodded to Xiang Rong and said: “Then I will trouble third young miss a little more in the future.” After saying this, she said to Feng Yu Heng: “Young miss, can that disciple of yours be used?”

Feng Yu Heng knew that she was talking about Song Kang. Currently, Song Kang was still living in the Yu Palace. During the day, he would go to Hundred Herb Hall to see patients. He was very familiar with Wang Lin and Qing Yu. But she did not want to keep Song Kang in the capital, thus she told Qing Yu: “He’s no good. He must come with me to follow the army. The injuries suffered on the battlefield are not small matters. Song Kang’s special talent lies with surgery. Keeping him in the capital is inefficient.”

Qing Yu did not refute it. Instead, it was Yao Xian that said: “Don’t worry. Since I have already come to the capital, I have no intention of returning to Huang Zhou. I will personally keep an eye on the capital.”

With Yao Xian saying this, Feng Yu Heng and Qing Yu were totally at ease. The Hundred Herb Hall was originally a dowry that the Yao family had given to Yao shi. Yao Xian was an imperial physician, and he was considered by others to be a divine doctor. If he controlled the Hundred Herb Hall, there was nothing that could possibly be better.

Qing Yu asked Feng Yu Heng: “Young miss, when do you plan on leaving?”

Feng Yu Heng thought a bit: “At most five days. After I have taken care of the matters here, I will be heading over to the military camp. It will be the same as the past. If there is anything that happens, come to the military camp to find me. Also, keep an eye on the accounts for the shops. You must not lower your guard. If you get a chance, you must go take a look at Ji An County. Sooner or later, a Hundred Herb Hall will need to be opened there. If you find a good opportunity, just open one up.”

After taking care of these matters, Yao Xian and Qing Yu went to Hundred Herb Hall to discuss something with Wang Lin. Only Feng Yu Heng and Xiang Rong remained in the room. She watched Xiang Rong stare at her and could not help but laugh and say: “If you have something to say, just say it! After grandmother’s funeral is concluded tomorrow, you will be able to follow grandfather and Qing Yu to Hundred Herb Hall some more. This will be considered a big help to sister. Sister will not be in the capital, thus the matters at home will be left to you.”

Xiang Rong’s heart was moved. Standing in front of Feng Yu Heng, it was as though they had returned to when they were young. This elder sister was the manor’s daughter of the first wife, and she was quite aloof. The one that she liked most was this second sister, but her second sister happened to have a cold personality, and she very rarely spoke. But at the same time, her second sister’s abilities became more and more amazing. She was shining even more brilliantly than before. Standing before her, she did not have any requests. She just hoped that she could accompany her for her entire life. That would be good.

She smiled with some embarrassment, she said: “Xiang Rong wanted to kowtow to second sister. For the Emperor to grant such a grand grace, Xiang Rong knows that it was to give face to second sister; however, kowtowing feels too distant, thus I don’t know how to thank second sister for this grace.” She lowered her head and rubbed her hands. It was as though she had become very determined. She then raised her head and said: “Second sister, Xiang Rong will not marry his Highness the seventh prince!”
