Chapter 747 - Deity Comes to the Rescue (2/2)
Because she never got up, she maintained her kneeling position. Even if the second prince was extremely distressed and anxious over Xuan Fei Yu’s injury, he still could not handle Feng Yu Heng speaking with him in her current state. He quickly went forward and helped her up. At the same time, he said: “This prince naturally trusts Younger Sister. Younger Sister has always been very loving of Fei Yu. How could you have any intentions of harming him? As for this little beast…” He looked at the little white tiger and found that the little white tiger was so afraid that it desperately tried to dive into Feng Yu Heng’s lap. The pitiful appearance was quite distressing, thus he helplessly shook his head, “This little beast does not look to be a violent one. It looks like a cat. This matter needs to be investigated. It is far too strange.”
At this time, a palace servant’s voice came from the outside. “His Highness the Seventh Prince has arrived!”
Following this, the seventh prince, Xuan Tian Hua, entered with hurried steps. After entering the tent, he immediately took a glance at Feng Yu Heng then furrowed his brow before bowing to the Emperor.
Because of Xuan Fei Yu’s matter, the Emperor was not very spirited and simply waved his hand to have him stand. After Xuan Tian Hua stood up, the first thing that he did was say to the second prince: “Second Brother, that little white tiger was something that I gave the imperial daughter. With this sort of thing happening, I cannot avoid criticism.”
How could the second prince not understand his intentions. It was just fearing that he would blame Feng Yu Heng, thus he personally came to alleviate the blame. He knew very well that old seventh’s relationship with old ninth was very good. Now that old ninth was not present, old seventh naturally needed to take up the responsibility for protecting her. But at the same time, the second prince smiled wryly, this was Imperial Daughter Ji An. What did she need protection for? Even with such a big thing happening today, even if she was at fault, Da Shun still could not touch her.
The second prince shook his head and said to Xuan Tian Hua: “This matter cannot be blamed on Younger Sister. Our current mission is to catch the person that is doing these things from the back.” After he said this, he went forward and asked the Emperor, “Would Father Emperor allow son to personally take care of this case.”
As Xuan Fei Yu’s father, the second prince asking for the right to handle this case was not unexpected. The Emperor naturally nodded and agreed then stood up, saying: “We will be going back to the imperial tent to be with Fei Yu. The matters here will be left to you to handle.” After saying this, he took another look at Feng Yu Heng, “You head over in a bit too. Only with you personally looking after Fei Yu can We feel at ease.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded and also said: “A-Heng was also thinking the same way. The young imperial grandson’s wound was taken care of cleanly, but I am worried about a fever breaking out overnight. He will need to be observed overnight.”
The Emperor nodded and left the tent with Zhang Yuan. The others also began to follow him out. The second prince expressed his thanks to Feng Yu Heng for personally looking after Xuan Fei Yu before leaving with the eldest prince to quickly take care of the case.
Outside the tent, Feng Xiang Rong was anxiously waiting outside. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng came out and was seemingly fine, she let out a sigh of relief. When she had heard that Feng Yu Heng’s little white tiger had hurt the young imperial grandson she was extremely worried, fearing that the Emperor would lay the blame on Feng Yu Heng. She wanted to come over and take a look, but she also felt that it was improper, thus she wanted to go and find the fourth prince for some help. Who could have known that the fourth prince had gone with some soldiers to race horses. For a while, she could not find him and could only grit her teeth and come on her own to wait for more information.
Upon seeing that Feng Yu Heng was fine, she was preparing to sneak away; however, she was seen by Feng Fen Dai. She then heard a shrill voice raised and very impolitely ask: “Oh, isn’t that our family’s third sister? Why are you here?” She then looked at Xiang Rong’s gaze that had not yet been retracted and looked over. This landed directly on Feng Yu Heng, and she could not help but feel anger wash over her, “You’re worried about her? Very well! You’re actually worried about Feng Yu Heng? Have you forgotten that she has cut ties with the Feng family? Or are you saying that your falling out was all fake?”
Fen Dai’s sudden shout gave Xiang Rong a fright. At the same time, Feng Yu Heng also looked over and found Xiang Rong’s slightly panicked expression. She stood there with her gaze just being averted away from her. Faced with Fen Dai’s accusation, she did not know what she should say.
Everyone knew that Fen Dai was someone that never let anyone off easy. She pointed directly at Xiang Rong and said: “I know that you two have been close since you were young. In the past, she protected you inside the Feng manor. But do you not think a bit. In the end, you are a child of the Feng family, while she is living a good life on her own. If she really was good to you, why did she not bring you to live a good life in the imperial daughter’s manor? Instead, she’s left you and your mother in the Feng residence to survive off of your embroidery shop? Do you have no heart or no face? You’re treating her kindly, while she treats you coldly. In the end, are you still a daughter of the Feng family? You really are losing face for me!”
Fen Dai’s words were uglier and uglier. Xiang Rong truly could not bear to continue listening and simply stomped her foot: “I didn’t come to look for Feng Yu Heng. Don’t spout nonsense!”
“Didn’t come for her?” Fen Dai laughed, “Could it be that you came to look for me? I just saw you with a face full of worry. Feng Yu Heng is the chief culprit. If you aren’t worried about her, who could it be for?”
“I…” Xiang Rong was rendered quite speechless. Looking over toward Feng Yu Heng, she simply gritted her teeth and said: “I came to look for His Highness the Seventh Prince.” She was interested in the seventh prince. This was something that everyone in the Feng family knew about, and the little white tiger was given to Feng Yu Heng by the seventh prince. This was something that also could not be hidden from people. That was why Xiang Rong thought that this was the only way to avoid this problem and explain why she had looked worried. She just did not know if he would want to help her or not.
As she thought about it, she gradually lowered her head, as regret began to pile up. She blamed herself for being rash. How did she end up dragging His Highness the Seventh Prince into this?
As for Feng Fen Dai, she also looked in Xuan Tian Hua’s direction with some doubt. Her gaze was filled with doubt, but she did not continue to criticize Xiang Rong. Thinking about it, she was also quite dubious.
Feng Yu Heng knew that Xiang Rong was in desperate need of help and was about to think of a way to have Xuan Tian Hua help that girl out. At this time, however, Xuan Tian Hua took the initiative to step forward toward Xiang Rong. Arriving before her, he stopped and said: “You’ve waited a long time, right? I was thinking of taking you to see Fei Yu. I know that you were worried about him, thus I sent someone to bring you over.” After saying this, he turned toward Feng Fen Dai and asked: “Fourth Young Miss Feng, do you have some objections to this prince’s actions?”
