"Miss!" The person coming behind her was Wangchuan. Feng Yuheng turned around and saw Wangchuan walking forward quickly and whispering a few words in her ear. Her eyebrows knitted together in an instant.
"Go back to the County Lord's Mansion." She did not go to Tianxiang Courtyard. She heard that Xu Jingyuan had searched it there, and all the things related to Kang Yi were gone. Feng Yuheng thought, and sent someone to the manor.
Just a short walk to the Yamen.
He Zhong saw that Feng Yuheng had just come back and then left in a hurry. He was very curious about what Wangchuan had said to her. But no matter how curious he was, he had no right to know, so he could only shake his head helplessly and ordered the concierge.
"You guys are on guard, be careful." He quickly went to Shu Yayuan to report the news to the old lady.
Feng Yuheng took Wangchuan all the way back to the county lord's mansion. It wasn't until she returned to her own house that she asked, "You said that people from Xuantianye's maternal family have already come to the capital?"
Wangchuan nodded: "Miss didn't come back last night. Once it was reported that Qianzhou people were causing trouble, I didn't dare to stay alert. So I sent two secret guards to investigate outside, and one of them went outside the city.
, the news that came back this morning is that Duan Muqing has arrived at the gate of the capital."
"Duanmu Qing..." She repeated the name, but she had no deeper idea. She only knew that she was from Xuantianye's maternal ancestor's family, and the rest of the information was still lacking.
Wangchuan told her: "The current president of the three northern provinces is collectively named Duanmu Anguo, and he is the third prince's grandfather. Duanmu Qing is that man's eldest grandson, that is, the third prince's cousin."
"How many people did they come?"
Wangchuan said: "I don't know the exact number of people, because if there are other preparations, they must be hidden in the dark. But although Duanmu Qing is only in his early twenties, he is already the deputy capital of the three provinces in the north. With him
Together with my grandfather, he is in charge of the troops and horses in the Northern Territory. Speaking of which, the troops and horses in the Northern Territory are basically recruited from the local area, and most of them are Dashun people with thousands of Zhou bloodlines. In fact, the reason why the emperor does not care much about the third prince
Wait, half of the reason is because his maternal grandfather once married a concubine with a thousand-year bloodline, and the daughter born to that concubine is the biological mother of the third prince."
"So that's it." Feng Yuheng always felt that Tianwu really disrespected Xuan Tianye as a father and son. Not only did he not feel any pity for him, he even wished him bad luck, injury, or even death. But if it was just because of this reason, I'm afraid
Not the main thing yet.
"One more thing." Wangchuan frowned and said, "I wonder if Miss has heard of the ghost doctor Song Kang?"
"Ghost doctor Song Kang?" Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I've never heard of him. Where are you from? Is he also a doctor?"
Wangchuan said: "He is a famous miracle doctor in the northern realm. His reputation in the northern realm is almost as famous as the reputation of the miracle doctor Yao in the Dashun Zhongtu area. Everyone says that the ghost doctor can bring human flesh and white bones to life, and his hands can
Countless dead people have been cured and resurrected."
Feng Yuheng was a little confused after hearing this, and kept shaking her head: "How could such a thing be possible? It's too weird to say. What, you mean, the ghost doctor Song Kang also came to the capital with him?"
Wangchuan nodded, "Yes, Duanmuqing's team includes the ghost doctor Song Kang. He wears a black robe all year round and is easy to identify. I think he should be treating the third prince's injuries." Having said this, Wangchuan felt a little confused.
Regretfully, "If I had known this, miss, you might as well have beaten him to death."
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly, if he was really beaten to death, I'm afraid the emperor would not have this attitude.
"That's all." She waved her hand, "Whatever is supposed to come will eventually come, just keep going. Unfortunately, my plan to go to Xiaozhou will be delayed again. Later, you can explain to my mother for me, and I will sleep for a while.
.”
Feng Yuheng went back to her room to rest, while Wangchuan went to explain to Yao that he could not go to Xiaozhou for the time being.
On the other side of Feng Mansion, An and Xiangrong could not sleep well. Xiangrong, in particular, tossed and turned on the bed, and finally sat up.
Her former girl Mei Xiang was beaten to death by Feng Yuheng for teaming up with the third prince to assassinate the Yao family. Now this person was bought by the mansion from outside and was named Shancha. She didn't understand the chaos in Feng Mansion, so she
Not long after he was bought back, he went to the nunnery with Xiangrong. He just returned to Beijing a few days ago.
Seeing that Xiangrong couldn't sleep, Shancha thought it was because Xiangrong was frightened by the sudden changes in the house last night. He was a little anxious and asked her: "Miss Third, if it doesn't work, please ask a doctor to come and take a look. Don't be afraid."
Terrified."
Xiangrong smiled bitterly, "How can I be so timid? In this family, not only does something happen every day, but it happens every once in a while. I'm used to it. You can bring me my coat, and I'll go talk to my aunt in her room.
.”
Shancha waited on Xiangrong and put on her coat, and then followed her to An's room. When she pushed the door and walked in, An was chatting wordlessly with her maid Ping'er. As soon as she saw her coming, Ping'er
Er said helplessly: "The third lady must have gone to the same place with my aunt, that's why she couldn't sleep."
Xiangrong took two steps quickly and reached An and asked her urgently: "What are you thinking about?"
Anshi pulled her to sit down, sighed, and said bluntly: "My family is so anxious to call you back from the nunnery this time. I always feel that there is something going on here."
Xiangrong heard her mention this problem and answered: "I can't sleep just because of this, aunt. At that time, I thought it might be because my second sister came back, and the family was afraid that my sister would ask about me and make trouble again.
Then he hurriedly took me back. But now that I think about it, when Mrs. Yao's accident happened, my second sister and we were no longer as close as before, so the family shouldn't have to worry about this."
Anshi nodded and asked again: "I have thought about it too. Now it seems that the family must have other arrangements."
This is what Rongchou thinks about, "What arrangements will be made? After such a big incident, you should... not think about me anymore, right?"
Anshi didn't think so: "I think it's probably for the eldest lady's haircut ceremony. Getting your haircut at the age of fifteen is a big event, and the family always has to be present. You are also eleven. I want to ask you something.
You have to be mentally prepared.”
Xiang Rong was surprised. The thing she was most worried about and least willing to mention was still stuck in her throat. She had to work very hard to squeeze out the words: "Are you going to get me engaged?"
Anshi didn't speak, just nodded, and said no more if he wanted to.
She grew up in Feng Mansion, and how could she not understand the various things here. For a family, a concubine is used to build relationships and cultivate power. The Feng family would have put more effort into her and Fendai.
, I already had this intention in bringing her back, and after what happened last night, I’m afraid it’s only natural to use her to win over one force! But, which force will this force be?
The mother and daughter sat quietly in the room, no one said anything.
It was a calm day, and the women were sleeping peacefully in the palace. Above the court, Emperor Tianwu only said that he would leave the matter of Qianyi to Prince Yu and the Lord of Ji'an County, and then changed the topic and never mentioned the matter again. Even to Feng
Jin Yuan was as usual, not affected by Kang Yi at all, which made Feng Jin Yuan worry in vain.
However, on this day, a big event happened in the capital. Duan Muqing, the deputy capital of the three northern provinces and the cousin of the third prince Xuan Tianye, came to the capital and lived directly in Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Everyone thought that Duanmu Qing would rest for a day and would go to court to worship the emperor the next day. However, after coming to court early in the morning, all the ministers' eyes widened and they did not notice Duanmu Qing.
After Feng Jinyuan came to court, he still felt very strange. He thought that Duanmu Qing was really bold. Wasn't he obviously arrogant? Could it be that he wanted to imitate Qianzhou and break up with the emperor?
Unexpectedly, he returned to the mansion in the next morning. As soon as he entered the mansion, before he could walk back to the pine garden, someone from the concierge hurriedly chased him and said to him: "Master, there is a man who calls himself Duan Muqing and comes to visit."
.”
Feng Jinyuan stopped and felt a thump in his heart, thinking that he was really afraid of what he was going to do. Duanmuqing couldn't enter the royal palace and go to the court, so why did he come to Feng Mansion?
But no matter how doubtful he was, people had already entered the door and it was hard to rush out. He turned around and walked back, saying as he walked: "Invite people into the hall of the Peony Garden."
The concierge added: "The other party also asked to see the eldest lady and the second lady."
"Well?" Feng Jinyuan's eyebrows knitted together, "What did he see them doing?"
The concierge shook his head, wondering how I knew.
Feng Jinyuan stopped asking and strode towards the front yard to greet him.
When he arrived, Duanmuqing had already sat down in the hall of the Peony Courtyard under the guidance of He Zhong. A maid served tea. He took a sip and shook his head repeatedly, "Look at the tea that was poured down by the north side against the snow and frost. It tastes great."
But it’s not even close.”
Feng Jinyuan originally had some friendship with Duanmu Qing, especially when he went to the north to suppress the disaster for more than two months and received a lot of help from the Duanmu family. But at that time, he and the third prince Xuan Tianye were in the same team.
As the most important civil servant in the dynasty, Feng Jinyuan not only contributed a lot of brainstorming to Xuan Tianye, but also provided a lot of money. The Duanmu family also attached great importance to Feng Jinyuan.
But now, the third prince has become a useless person. Looking at the emperor's attitude, it really makes Feng Jinyuan's heart sink. It also makes him understand that without the emperor's support, no matter how powerful the external influence is, the third prince will still be weak.
Half the result with twice the effort. If he wanted to get the throne, there was almost no other way to go except forcing him to the throne. But once he forced the throne, even if he succeeded, the throne would be unjust and unjust, and he might not be able to turn around after decades.
What's more, he can only lie in bed now, and he has no chance of being crowned emperor.
When Feng Jinyuan thought of this, his heart tightened again. Xuan Tianye's injury was extracted by Feng Yuheng. Is Duan Muqing coming here to avenge his cousin?
He gritted his teeth. It was destined that they could not form an alliance, so there was no need for any more false greetings. He strode into the hall and followed Duan Muqing's words: "Tea has always been the best in the Central Plains, so Jiangnan
It’s the best in this area, why does the Vice-Capital hold Snow Cold Tea so highly?”
Duanmu Qing laughed loudly after hearing this, turned his head, faced Feng Jinyuan, and said: "When I came here, I was still thinking about what kind of attitude Feng Xiang would have to greet me. Now listen to Jun
After talking, I know that there is no point in talking more, Mr. Feng, now that things have happened, our two families have turned from relatives to enemies."
Feng Jinyuan sneered and sat on the chief chair, "What are you talking about, Deputy Commander-in-Chief?"
"Don't you understand, Mr. Feng?" Duanmuqing said slowly, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It doesn't matter whether we are relatives or enemies. Even enemies can turn into relatives again."
As he spoke, he took out a poster from his arms and asked the servant next to him to take it for Feng Jinyuan. At the same time, he said: "Prime Minister Feng, I am here today to replace my cousin, the prince."
The one who proposed marriage to the eldest lady, Feng Chenyu——"
