Chapter 749 - Ambition, Why Not Take Off? (2/2)
With her saying this, the second prince did not dare make another conclusion, thus he lowered his head and began to ponder to himself.
At this time, the eldest prince’s analysis was voiced, as he said: “There is another possibility. Say, could it be that someone that had this sort of smell on their body might have offended the little thing at some point? It’s such that whenever it smells it, it will react and go wild to bite that person?” While he spoke, he began to think back and suddenly said: “I’ve got it. Before I brought Fei Yu to the hunting ground, that child was holding a sword and copying an imperial guard. Boys, you know, playing around with swords and weapons is quite normal. In addition to this setting, playing outside with an imperial guard does not seem improper. Thinking about it now, some of that fragrance might have gotten on him at that time. I can still find those people. Should I call them over to ask about it?”
The second prince nodded, and the eldest prince immediately went outside to search for those people. Feng Yu Heng remained inside the tent and felt that the eldest prince’s analysis was very reasonable. Following this, she recalled a couple things that had happened, and clues gradually began to appear. She said to the second prince: “The other side might not have done this to harm Fei Yu. I was thinking that it’s very likely that Fei Yu getting that fragrance on him, and the tiger running into him ended up causing this incident. And the other side’s true goal… should just have been to throw the little white tiger into the forest. Put plainly, this matter was directed at me. Fei Yu’s matter, I…”
“Younger Sister, you must not speak like this.” The second prince waved his hand, “Regardless of the reason, this is a clue. If it really is as Younger Sister said, and they did not intend to harm Fei Yu, this matter would be an accident to them.” He thought for a bit then ordered his servants to pay close attention to everyone at the imperial hunting ground. If they found anything abnormal, they were to report immediately.
Feng Yu Heng saw that the second prince’s arrangements were ordered and rational, thus she did not continue to remain. After a few kind words, she brought Huang Quan and left the tent. Outside the tent, Xuan Tian Hua was walking over with a bit of a helpless look on his face. She went over to him and asked: “Sending Xiang Rong took so long. Thinking about it, Seventh Brother’s helpless expression should also be related to that, right?”
Xuan Tian Hua declined to comment, only spreading his hands and smiling bitterly. “Where are you heading? Going back to the imperial tent?”
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, “There’s no rush to go back. I’ve taken a look at Fei Yu earlier. Regardless, he will need to sleep for at least four more hours. If seventh brother doesn’t have much to do, how about accompanying me into the forest for some horse riding! We won’t go far. We will just stay near the edges. That way, it won’t be the case that they can’t find me if something happens with Fei Yu.”
Xuan Tian Hua nodded and went to fetch some horses. The good thing about the hunting ground was that there were horses everywhere. They could be grabbed from anywhere. The people that had come had all arrived on horseback. This sort of arrangement was quite convenient for the masters.
Feng Yu Heng sent Huang Quan back to the imperial daughter’s tent with the little white tiger. There was no need to follow. Following this, the two rode toward the forest, neither quickly nor slowly. Since they started riding from the camp area, they saw quite a few people. Among these people was Feng Fen Dai. At this time, she was standing in front of the tent’s entrance. Squinting her eyes, she saw the two people depart on horseback, and she could not help but ask her maidservant Dong Ying: “Say, aside from His Highness the Ninth Prince, is the prince that sees the most benefits His Highness the Seventh Prince?”
How could Dong Ying understand these things; however, she could understand what was happening before her, “Young miss, this servant does not know about the matter with the princes in court, but His Highness the Seventh Prince and Second Young… no, and Imperial Daughter Ji An are very close. This is something I know.”
“Hmph.” Feng Fen Dai shrugged, “This is something that can be seen just by opening your eyes. I was just thinking that those princes all have their own proper niches, so why is mine so worthless? His title of prince and the Li Palace are just for show, but what are the other princes doing? What sort of rewards are the other princes receiving? That worthless trash is just that much worse than them. This sort of man, even if I get married, what’s the point?”
Dong Ying was frightened and quickly advised her: “Young Miss, you must not think like this. In any case, His Highness the Fifth Prince is still a prince. If you don’t acknowledge this marriage, based on the current Feng family, it will be difficult to find another one!”
Feng Fen Dai waved her hand in irritation, “I know this. This engagement can’t be changed, but I can try to change that person. What others have, he also needs to have. Only when he has it can your young miss have it in the future.”
Dong Ying asked her with a trembling voice: “Then what if His Highness the Ninth Prince takes the throne? Could it be that you want His Highness the Fifth Prince to fight for it?”
“Why not?” Fen Dai felt that this was a natural matter, “The current Da Shun still does not have a crown prince. That means that everyone has the right to compete for it. Xuan Tian Yi himself does not take it to heart, so don’t blame me for forcing him to take it seriously. There will come a day when I will have those people that look down on him know just how laughable their actions today are. Their future selves will be quite pitiful.”
Dong Ying felt that her fourth young miss’ ambition was growing more and more, but this was also good. What if there came a day when Feng Fen Dai really made it. As her first maidservant, the glory and honor would also reach her. Perhaps she could also be taken in by the fifth prince. In the future, she could also obtain a position as an imperial concubine.
The master and servant pair were in the middle of their blissful dream, but Dong Ying was still a bit more aware than Feng Fen Dai. At this time, she suddenly saw Huang Quan hastily heading in the direction of the forest.
