zChapter 1151 - Still Unable to Win Against This Woman (1/2)
When Chunyu Ling left, Feng Yuheng personally saw her off, it was a normal horse carriage but countless hidden guards followed her in the shadows to guarantee Chunyu Ling’s safety for the whole journey.
Feng Yuheng’s heart to protect Chunyu Ling was sincerely, but her heart to lure Bu Cong out was also sincere. Around them, the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng deployed many troops, prepared to intercept and capture the Zong Sui faction in one go.
At this moment, Chunyu Ling’s feelings were very complicated. On one hand, she was very anxious to go the southern border, wanting to see Yao Shi’s grave. It was as if she would only be able to find the connection to her true self in the past once she arrived in front of that grave. But on the other hand, she also kept thinking about Bu Cong, a day together as husband and wife means endless devotion the rest of their life, at least towards this marriage, Bu Cong was loyal and also treated her well, and she still remembered, when she was very very young, the people of the Bu family had come to Feng manor to propose an engagement. That was because the young Bu Cong had taken a liking to her and stubbornly wanted to marry her, even if she already had a marriage engagement with the Ninth Prince, Bu Cong was still that stubborn.
She asked Feng Yuheng: “If Da Shun and Zong Sui have a large scale war one day, if my husband ends up in your hands, can you…… spare his life?”
Feng Yuheng told her with a smile: “Two armies fighting against each other, will the words from one woman count for anything? I am not going to the battlefield this time and I cannot manage the matters with all the men. Listen to me, between the past and the present, you can only make one choice in the end, if you choose the past, go to the southern border and stand guard over Mother after understanding the truth, living a new life in the southern border. I will ensure your safety for the rest of your life. If you choose the present, then forget your past identity, focusing on being the First Miss of the Chunyu family and being Bu Cong’s wife. You definitely cannot mention anything of your past, but once you mention it, what will be destroyed will not only be me, there is also you, and Bu Cong and everyone in the Chunyu family. Think properly!”
“There is no need to think.” Chunyu Ling shook her head with a troubled smile, “I choose the past, I will definitely choose the past. So many years have passed, I have only lived for the sake of the past, only those events and people in the past are the foundation which supported me in living on. Without the past, I will be no different from a walking corpse.” She looked towards Feng Yuheng and said calmly: “As for Bu Cong, if you’re willing to help me again, then let him off once! If you’re unwilling, that is fine as well, he is living for the sake of the Bu family and not for my sake after all. All of this is fate, I cannot escape from it and he cannot escape as well.”
The two people Chunyu Ling and Feng Yuheng, one sat in a horse carriage, one sat on a horse, Chunyu Ling pulled open the curtain of the carriage’s window and spoke with Feng Yuheng, a composed expression on her face, looking just like the Feng family’s second daughter many years ago. She said: “The reborn Feng Yuheng, goodbye, I might not return again, you must take care of Zirui properly, he is the only worry in my heart now. And, thank you for causing the Feng family to fall, thank you for causing the return of the Yao family, I am leaving, you do not need to escort me any further!” She put down the curtain and told the horse carriage: “Let’s go! Please hasten the pace a little.”
Feng Yuheng watched that horse carriage move far away, when she raised her hand, the hidden guards following behind in the shadows as protection also left quietly, after a short while, she was the only one left, even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were left behind in the palace.
Seeing Chunyu Ling’s carriage travel further and further away, Feng Yuheng opened her mouth, mumbling softly, she said: “Sorry, I will definitely not spare Bu Cong. If I was a little more ruthless, I will get rid of you as well, thus eliminating all potential future issues forever. Unfortunately, I cannot, I do not have that kind of ruthless heart in the end. Live well in the southern border! I can guarantee your safety for the rest of your life and ensure you do not lack clothes and food. If you’re willing, you can even marry and have children over there. It is just that from now on, everything about Zong Sui and everything about Da Shun’s capital will have nothing to do with you, I am Feng Yuheng, the only Feng Yuheng.”
After saying this, she retracted her gaze calmly, that heart which felt fear for a long time also finally calmed down, the emotions of insanity no longer existed, clarity appeared in her eyes once again and she looked as sharp as a leopard.
But seeing the edges of her lips curl up slightly, and her head turning to the side slightly, her eyes were just like blades, glaring coldly at one place. With an immediate scoff, she spoke with raised volume: “That thief hiding behind the tree, how long are you going to continue spying?” Once she spoke, her hand moved towards the reins and she pulled off an iron button, then using that iron button as a hidden weapon, she threw it at the place where the person was hiding.
Feng Yuheng was not that skilled in throwing hidden weapons, the iron button had momentum but it was not that accurate, and it was much more than just being slightly off the mark, such that the suspicious person could not help but laugh.
“Princess Yu’s archery is 100% accurate but unexpectedly, your skill with hidden weapons is so poor.” Birds cried out in alarm and as those sounds were heard, a figure appeared from behind the tree with a flash, moving a few times until he was in front of Feng Yuheng. The two of them were five steps apart, if that person who came was not Bu Cong, then who else could it be?
“Bu Cong, it’s been a long time.” Feng Yuheng waved at him and immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, changing her words: “No, it’s not a long time, some days ago, didn’t you disguise as a blue-robed scholar to go on the streets and threaten me!”
“Yeah.” Bu Cong nodded, responding very happily, “At that time, I seemed to have scared Princess Yu very much! What, you recovered that quickly? At that time, the person and matter which you were so bothered about such that you almost flipped the capital upside down, you’re not afraid now?” Bu Cong looked at Feng Yuheng, wanting to decipher what she felt from her gaze, wanting to see the hidden panic underneath that calmness.
