zChapter 821 - Don’t Forget About the Gift to Suppress This Imperial Daughter’s Shock (2/2)
The citizens let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing these words. It had to be known that regardless of the reason, hitting a prince in the streets carried a death sentence! They had also been blinded by anger, and they had also been wanting to vent that anger toward the guard. Later on, who knows who took the lead and went to hit the eighth prince. The people were thinking that either way, there were many people. They would take advantage of this chaos to have some fun. It was only after the governor arrived that they began to know fear. They had been worried that they would be accused, and they were now able to feel at ease.
Xu Jing Yuan watched the citizens let out a sigh of relief. He thought quickly then added: “Imperial Daughter Ji An just pleaded for forgiveness for you with His Highness the eighth prince to not make a fuss with you. Why have you not given your thanks to imperial daughter?!”
The people had also heard what Feng Yu Heng had said, thus they all kneeled to thank Feng Yu Heng, which made Xuan Tian Mo’s expression alternate between red and white in anger. It was clearly him that was not causing a fuss with them. How did it end up becoming Feng Yu Heng’s work?
The commotion had finally come to its conclusion. Seeing the citizens depart, Xuan Tian Mo did not want to continue remaining. Taking a look at the guard that was laying on the ground, he simply said to Xu Jing Yuan: “This person was the first to insult imperial daughter, and he used a sword to point at imperial daughter’s maidservant. That was not this prince’s instruction. It was his own idea. This prince does not need this sort of subordinate. You can take him away. Whether he’s beaten, punished or killed, there’s no need to report to this prince.” After saying this, he got on his horse and left in the direction of the Sheng Palace.
However, he heard Feng Yu Heng shout from behind: “This imperial daughter will be leaving the capital on the 14th. Eighth brother must not forget about the promised gift to suppress my shock.”
Xuan Tian Mo angrily shook his head, which also splattered around the egg.
With this situation, the things could no longer be bought. Feng Yu Heng happily brought Xiang Rong back to her manor and arranged for the chef to prepare 20 braised pork shoulders for the next day. She would be bringing them on the trip.
On the 13th of the first month, Feng Yu Heng brought Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, along with Ban Zou, toward the military camp. Arriving at the camp, they quickly met up with Xuan Tian Ming. Without saying a single word, the two entered an empty tent that Xuan Tian Ming had prepared, and they began to pull things out of the space.
Guns were given to the Divine Intent Army first. She was preparing to leave another set of grenades and landmines. She would also be leaving a portion of the stolen gold and silver to have Xuan Tian Ming bring it with the army. There was a limit to her space. It was able to fit all of the things that had been stolen, but because the storage in the imperial daughter’s manor already had a large number of things stored from before, if she wanted to take it all away, it was a bit difficult. She left a bit to Yao Xian and placed some in the Chun Palace; however, she still wanted Xuan Tian Ming to take away ten chests.
Xuan Tian Ming watched his wife bring chest after chest of gold and silver, and his heart felt a chill! This damn girl, even a deity that descended to the world would not be like this, right? This ability was almost miraculous. But thinking about the people from the eighth prince’s faction losing all of this money in a single night was indeed quite entertaining.
Aside from this, Feng Yu Heng also left a large amount of medicine. The majority of it was Western medicine. It was convenient to transport, and it was quick to take effect, and they did not need to take as much. It was unlike Chinese medicine. Even if it was a prepared prescription of Chinese medicine, it would be ten courses of six to eight pills, and they would need to take it three times each day. Like this, the required amount was great, and it would take up a large amount of space. Moreover, over the course of a march from the capital to the South, it was inevitable that there would be minor illnesses. The army could not delay its movements because a few of its soldiers fell ill. That was why they needed quick-acting medicine, and Western medicine was most suitable.
She left behind quite a bit of cold and fever medicine, as well as anti-inflammatory medicine and diarrhea medicine. These were all things that needed to be brought along when setting out. Also, the South would be hot, as it was close to a desert. There were no Winters. There would be many bugs, and this would require some things to deal with bugs. She pulled out some sprays that would deal with this aspect and left them all inside the empty tent for Xuan Tian Ming to sort on his own.
When she finally finished taking out the things that had been prepared, Feng Yu Heng let out a long sigh and told Xuan Tian Ming: “I will be leaving tomorrow. There’s no need to send me off. I will be leaving early in the morning.”
Xuan Tian Ming, however, shook his head and said: “No, I will send you off. Don’t rush. I need to attend court tomorrow morning. Wait until court has been dismissed and for me to come to you before leaving. I will only feel at ease if I send you a certain distance.”
She wanted to say that there was no need, but after thinking a bit, he was her future husband. At this sort of time, he should be sending her. If he did not, perhaps someone with their own thoughts would make use of that to say something. Thus she did not argue and only nodded, saying: “Alright, then I will pack up everything that needs to be packed up. There are also the people from Hundred Herb Hall that will be coming with me. They will also need to be part of the procession of carriages. Fortunately, I don’t need a carriage to carry this wealth. Also, the things that are not convenient to transport will be placed inside my space. It’s very convenient.”
Xuan Tian Ming, however, was still uneasy. Thinking for a while, he simply said: “How about I just send you all the way to the fief. After arriving, I will ride back on a fast horse. It won’t take many days.”
“That must not be done.” Feng Yu Heng refused very resolutely, “It will take me around half a month on the road to get there. I fear that the start of the war will have begun during that time. You still need to focus on the country’s matters first. As for me, you should know that no matter what sort of situation I come across, I at least have a place that I can hide. No matter what the situation, I will not get hurt.”
Of course, Xuan Tian Ming knew that she had this space, thus he could only nod. After a long time, however, he quietly said: “In truth, I just wanted to be with you a bit longer. When you get to your fief, you will be busy for a while. We will not be able to meet very quickly.”
She dove into his embrace, “There will be plenty of time in the future. There will be a day when there is peace in the world. As for you, promise me that you will take care of yourself on the battlefield. You have that many officers. There’s no need to rush forward yourself. As a general, giving orders is what you should do.”
Xuan Tian Ming laughed. He had fought in wars for many years. Could it be that he needed a little girl to teach him what to do? Reaching out, he pinched the girl’s nose and wanted to curse at her a bit for fun. At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the tent. Very quickly, someone stopped in front of the tent and urgently said: “Princess! Quickly come to the back of the mountain to take a look! Something has happened over there!”
