Chapter 163 (1/2)

Zhang Yuan heard the Emperor’s question and went forward to reply: “Princess Xiang’s illness remains untreatable for the doctors. Recently, I heard that her condition has worsened, and there are worries that she might not survive through this Winter.”

The Emperor frowned and pondered for a while, but his gaze slowly moved towards Feng Yu Heng.

How could Feng Yu Heng not understand the Emperor’s thoughts. She quickly took the initiative and said: “Allow daughter-in-law to take a look.”

The Emperor was very satisfied with Feng Yu Heng showing initiative and followed up with a question: “Do you have a handle on how to cure her?”

Feng Yu Heng shook her head, “No, daughter-in-law has never met Princess Xiang, and do not know what sort of illness she is suffering from.”

“Un.” The Emperor felt her words were reasonable. He then said to Zhang Yuan: “Go inform the Empress. Have her pass along notice to Princess Xiang to enter the palace. If she is so ill that she can not walk, carry her in for Us.”

Zhang Yuan complied once more and personally trotted towards the Empress’ palace.

The Emperor had indeed become advanced in age. At this time, he felt a little tired. Xuan Tian Hua personally helped him move to the throne side of the partition and also helped him change clothes, wash his face and clean his mouth.

Feng Yu Heng also made use of the tea preparation room in one of Zhao He hall’s side rooms to prepare a calming tea.

But in reality, using the tea preparation room was just a cover. The calming tea was actually something she had pulled out of her space. Not only was the quality of the tea leaves higher, most importantly, the way in which it was made and the technology used to make it far surpassed what was available in this era by many times. The fragrance of the tea was thicker and the texture more pure.

A cup of tea was carried out from the tea preparation room. It was brought all the way over to the throne, when the lid was taken off. The Emperor felt the fragrance of tea coming over, but it did not have that as strong a stimulating effect. Light and gentle, it made him want to smell it some more.

“What tea is this?” He received it and smelled it for a while, not able to determine what tea it was.

“Daughter-in-law prepared it for father Emperor to relax.” She avoided the important details and gave a broad explanation.

The Emperor did not find it odd. Raising it up, he took a sip. After it entered his mouth, it was even more pure than when he smelled it. He took another couple sips then could endure no longer. He tossed his head back and downed the entire cup.

Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: “If father Emperor likes it, after A-Heng returns home, I will send some more into the palace, does that sound good?”

The Emperor looked at her and was a little amused, “Your father is performing a funeral on his way back to the capital. That funeral is for you and that son of the first wife.”

Feng Yu Heng smiled helplessly and did not say anything.

The Emperor continued: “We will also give you an opportunity. If you can successfully cure Princess Xiang’s illness, We will give you an Imperial grace. How is that?”

Feng Yu Heng took a step back and knelt down then solemnly said: “Daughter-in-law thanks father Emperor for the Imperial grace.”

These words of thanks for the imperial grace caused the Emperor to be stunned. He then reacted and said: “What sort of imperial grace do you want from Us?”

Feng Yu Heng covered her mouth and did not speak.

The Emperor waved his hand: “Forget it, when the time comes, We will agree to give you what you want.”

Feng Yu Heng bowed her head down once more: “Many thanks father Emperor for allowing daughter-in-law to treat Princess Xiang’s illness.”

The Emperor nodded, “Smart girl. With Princess Xiang treated, that eldest sister who wants to marry into the Xiang Palace will be given an even harder time.”

Feng Yu Heng lightly smiled but did not speak.

The Emperor turned around and sat on his imperial bed. Xuan Tian Hua helped him take off his shoes and socks. At the same time he flipped over some brocade, the Emperor once again sighed with emotion: “No matter who is cured, it can not be compared to curing Ming’er’s legs. When your family’s matters have calmed down a bit, take care of Ming’er’s legs.”

“Daughter-in-law has received the order.”

That night, Xuan Tian Hua left the palace and returned to Chun Palace. Xuan Tian Ming accompanied Feng Yu Heng and went to imperial concubine Yun’s Winter Moon Palace.

Since she had come to the palace, she would have to go greet imperial concubine Yun. Feng Yu Heng decided to stay in Winter Moon Palace. Since Winter Moon Palace could not be entered by anyone other than the two princes, imperial concubine Yun could be considered on her side. Given her current refugee status, this could not be more perfect.

Along the way, Feng Yu Heng pushed Xuan Tian Ming along. A twelve year old girl’s body pushing along a grown man required a bit of energy. Especially since it was an ancient wooden wheelchair made of wood, which was already very heavy. Adding on Xuan Tian Ming’s weight, it was truly a bit of a struggle for her.

Feng Yu Heng walked and sighed: “Even if I treat your legs, it is not something that can be treated in just a few instants. At a later date, I will give you a different type of wheelchair.” She recalled that there was a modern wheelchair in her pharmacy. It was both light and shock absorbants thanks to the rubber on the wheels. If Xuan Tian Ming sat in one of those wheelchairs, it would be easier for her to push him.

Xuan Tian Ming did not have much of a concept of such things. Either way, Feng Yu Heng said she would give him something, so he nodded and agreed. Thinking a little more, he recalled some news that Ban Zou had brought back: “Do you want to know how Feng Zi Hao died?”

She obviously wanted to know.

Thus, Xuan Tian Ming spoke in an excellent voice and told her about what happened at the Feng clan residence. Of course, these were all things told to him by Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. He was simply embellishing the story slightly. His original intention was to watch Feng Yu Heng’s little face turn red. Who knew that not only did this girl’s face not turn red, it showed a joyous expression, as she shouted: “That is to say, Feng Zi Hao finally had his way? Hahaha! Xuan Tian Ming, this is truly good news.”

He grinned, what the hell! A twelve year old girl hearing this type of thing would actually have this type of reaction?

But he also expressed his feelings: “Feng Zi Hao has died. Feng Chen Yu, however, is still alive. Do you want me to help you do deal with her?”

Feng Yu Heng shook her head like a pellet drum: “No need no need! Daring to drug me, her future should not be something as simple as just death. Xuan Tian Ming, just you wait and see. I must skin every layer Feng Chen Yu’s skin for all to see!”
