Chapter 607 (1/2)

Meeting Prince Lian Once More

Mental disorders needed specific treatments. This was something that city lord Wu understood, but the gap in power between a city lord and a price was too high. This made it feel as though it was just a dream. He feared that Li Sheng would remain in this dream for the rest of her life.

But now, there was a trace of hope that appeared at the bottom of his heart. Earlier, imperial daughter Ji An had said without holding back that she was familiar with Prince Lian, and as he saw it, this imperial daughter was quite protective of Li Sheng. Although he did not dare say that they were close, there was still a bit of a good feeling, thus he summoned his courage and begged: “Imperial daughter, please take pity on my daughter and help her!”

Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath and said: “This imperial daughter does indeed feel a little close with Li Sheng. Although I cannot be absolutely certain, I can promise that I will speak with Prince Lian once more to see if he can think of something. It’s just that before this…” Her gaze became cold, as she stared at city lord Wu and said: “I will not ask too much about your own family’s matters, but since I have begun handling Li Sheng’s matters, I hope that she will not suffer any grievances. Her birth mother should also be at the manor, right? I don’t know how many rules there are when it comes to Qian Zhou’s wives and concubines, but since Li Sheng is sick, it would be better to have her spend more time with her birth mother.”

City lord Wu naturally promised.

Nobody ate much during this meal. Leaving the city lord’s manor, they began to walk toward the posthouse, and Xuan Tian Ming asked Feng Yu Heng: “Don’t you have a pretty bad impression of the people of Qian Zhou? Why are you so concerned about this?”

She shook her hand, “My only resentment is with Qian Zhou’s imperial family; however, I don’t want to exterminate all of our future citizens. The matters between Li Sheng and that woman, Prince Lian… that’s not right. I really have taken an interest in the matters between Li Sheng and that man. Hah! Xuan Tian Ming, do you think that I love gossipping too much?”

Xuan Tian Ming had also been with Feng Yu Heng for a long time, thus he knew that what it meant for her to latch onto any piece of gossip. He nodded and admitted, “A bit.”

“Hah, I can’t spend every waking moment thinking about battle! I wouldn’t want me to completely eliminate my feminine side and only fill my mind with thoughts of bloody battlefields, right?”

“Naturally, I do not want that.” He grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled it inside his own large sleeve, “I am hoping that this battle can end quickly. Bringing you to see the world and eating nice foods are both better than spending every day on edge.”

“I also want to.” Her eyes were filled with expectation, “I’ve come to the North, and I want to visit the South, West and East. Seventh brother is still in the East. When we get a chance, let’s go over and take a look.”

“Alright.” Xuan Tian Ming held the small hand a little tighter, “As long as you want to, why not go all over the world.”

That night, Feng Yu Heng moved Bai Fu Rong out of her space and placed her inside a guest room. Bai Fu Rong’s rapid aging was halted inside the space, but once she returned to the current world, her rapid aging began once more.

She could not keep her inside the space forever, and she could not keep Bai Fu Rong asleep forever. She had to provide her with an infusion that she had produced on her own to combat the rapid aging. Feng Yu Heng thought that she would at least need to ensure that Bai Fu Rong could survive until they returned to the capital. As long as they returned to the capital, she could have her grandfather take a look before making any final conclusions. Also…

Her eyes became cold. The poison had been placed by a person from Qian Zhou, and that person had received an order from their master. That master was Qian Zhou’s ruler. The matters of the imperial family would naturally need to be taken care of by the imperial family. Perhaps she could ask Prince Lian, or she could find a chance to have a proper discussion with Qian Zhou’s ruler once they arrived in the capital.

Once the last of the infusion was provided, Feng Yu Heng removed the needles and threw them into the automatic trash can inside her space. When she stood up to change the candle, Bai Fu Rong faintly woke up on the bed.

She had already become accustomed to waking up at this time, and the first person that she saw was Feng Yu Heng. The first thing that she always asked would be: “How many days until I reach my limit?”

Feng Yu Heng told her: “You passed your limit long ago. I told you that with me here, I will not let you die.”

Bai Fu Rong shook her head, “Impossible. I can feel that my aging is still intensifying. Although it’s slower than before, it has not slowed completely. There will come a day when I will die from old age. A-Heng, don’t waste your energy. Just forget about it.”

Feng Yu Heng helplessly said to her: “Everyone will get old and die. In life, people have only one path from the time they are born. That is to die. What is it? Could it be that by knowing that you will die sooner or later, you will just give up on living? Just give up on the life of freedom and beauty? Fu Rong, you were not like this in the past. Where has your graceful bearing gone?”

Graceful bearing? Bai Fu Rong was stunned, graceful bearing? When she heard it, it sounded like it was something from a past life.

Feng Yu Heng did not move, only asking Bai Fu Rong: “Bai Ze knocks on the door outside every day at this time, but you’ve never seen him once.”

Bai Fu Rong said: “I won’t see him. I’m worried that I’ll scare him.”

“You not seeing him is what truly scares him.” She helplessly walked over to the door and resolutely said: “You don’t get a choice today. Whether you want to see him or not, you will see him. Fu Rong, life is in your hands. As for Bai Ze, he is someone that can bring you life.”

While they spoke, the door was opened, and Bai Ze stared at her, silently mouthing: Thank you.

Feng Yu Heng did not know what the two spoke about, but when she saw Bai Ze leave, his face no longer had the shadows that were there the previous days. Right before Bai Fu Rong fell asleep, there was a bit of vitality in her face.

There was a reason that love is the most mystical power in the world. Love was also something that could not be researched and analyzed, for there was no logic to it.
