Chapter 56 (1/2)

Xuan Tian Ming, it seems from birth, nobody had called him that.

Father Emperor and Princess mother all called him Ming’er. Everyone else had called him Highness. After returning from the northwest and had received a title, everyone called him his Highness. He himself almost forgot that he was originally called Xuan Tian Ming.

If it were bravery, then this girl was much more brave than he! Who else would dare call out this name?

But…

Her stuff?

The person lying on his body seemed to think of something else, as she suddenly leaped up and retreated a few steps to inspect his legs.

“What are you doing?”

“You won’t allow me to look at your face, can I not look at your legs?”

This time, Xuan Tian Ming did not refuse and only asked: “How do you want to look at it?”

She shuffled forward and crouched in front of his body. Her small hands lightly hit his knees: “I’m just going to squeeze a few times. Bear with it a little.”

Although it was said that she would squeeze a few times, Feng Yu Heng’s career addiction welled up. How could it merely be something as simple as squeezing a few times.

All that could be seen was her wrist moving back and forth. The movement of her hands on his knee joint was unique and skilled. She pressed on some acupuncture points and sutures and massaged his tendons, giving them a light stretch.

Xuan Tian Ming was hurting so much that his body was covered in a cold sweat. She finally stopped.

A comminuted fracture.

That was the conclusion she arrived at.

Both knee caps had been completely shattered. The current injury was far more severe than in the mountains. Sadly, there was no x-ray machine, so there was no way to determine from the outside just how serious it was.

But, she still let out a sigh of relief. The worry she had been carrying around could finally be reduced a bit.

Feng Yu Heng’s gaze slowly shifted upward until it reached another key area.

The cold sweat on Xuan Tian Ming’s head continued to pour down: “What do you want to do now?”

She batted her eyelashes and wondered: “I heard that you also injured that area and would have trouble having a child…”

“Get out!”

He really wanted to start spanking her!

Feng Yu Heng sniffled and with very poor form, wiped her tears with her sleeves before sitting back down on the table and swinging her legs around.

Xuan Tian Ming absolutely did not want to continue discussing this question and simply waved his hand: “Change the topic.”

She nodded, “Then let’s talk about some happy things!”

After examining his leg, she was eighty percent certain that she could treat it later. Feng Yu Heng finally felt a little happier inside. She grabbed a tea cup from the table and took a sip then happily began talking about all the happenings in the Feng manor since her return.

One event at a time, she told these fragmented stories, with each event told vividly and in an interesting way.

Xuan Tian Ming had become addicted to listening to these stories and from time to time would interject to discuss things such as “what ended up happening to Chen shi”, “Feng Zi Hao really is a good for nothing.”

In short, life in the Feng manor had been summed up by Feng Yu Heng as “sorting them out is really fun.”

Xuan Tian Ming nodded and responded in a very doting way, “If you’re happy then it’s good.”

These words made it seem as though the Feng manor was a toy in the palm of Feng Yu Heng’s hand. It suited that her temperament very well.

Thus, this girl reached for a mile after being given an inch. She pointed at Xuan Tian Ming, “Your temperament is very similar to mine.”

When she said this, her eyes shone with a shrewd and dazzling brightness. It was like the occasional cunning she displayed in the mountains. She had an odd personality, which always attracted his attention.

“Come here.” He waved to her.

When she approached him, he took off a jadeite pixiu that hung on a brown string from his neck.

“For my tenth birthday, father Emperor gave this to me. There was a wandering Daoist that once said that this pixiu’s owner will become the mother of this world.”

He said this casually, but Feng Yu Heng was startled.

“Wasn’t it said that you couldn’t be the crown prince.” Looking again at that pixiu, “With this sort of item at hand, I worry that it will lead to a great deal of annoyances.”

“You’re worried about annoyances?” He asked.

She shook her head, “No.”

“Then wear it.”

She obediently lowered her head and allowed him to help hang it on her neck. Only it was a little too long.

“After I go back, I will restring it.” She smiled and stuffed the pixiu in to her clothes. She then looked at him and seriously said: “Xuan Tian Ming, I do not have much that I can gift to you, but if you one day desire it, I would like to mend your bones once more.”

He nodded, “Ok.”

The two looked at each other and smiled. They had clearly only met twice, but it was as though they were old friends of many years with an air of understanding.
