Respected Him as a Father and Took It to Heart
She had respected him as a father and took it to heart.
Feng Yu Heng had never seen Imperial Concubine Yun cry before. In her mind, Imperial Concubine Yun was either laughing and smiling or acting prideful while having an air of indifference. With her two sons, there was no feeling of superiority or inferiority, and it was a very harmonious scene.
But now, she could clearly see a bit of a shine coming from Imperial Concubine Yun’s eyes, as they looked at Yao Xian. But this was just for a mont, as the stubborn Imperial Concubine Yun very quickly retracted her tears and continued to say to Yao Xian: “Because I rember that uncle had said to right before leaving there is no need to marry soone influential in this life, and there was no need to act dignified, but they must treat very well and only think of . Uncle said that our residence was very good, the people were pure, and the people’s thoughts were simple. People living there would be the happiest. You hoped that I would happily live in that residence for my entire life and hoped that I would not be like my mother and be scamd by soone from the outside, but... I really was scamd by soone. Not only was I scamd, but I also left that mountain residence with him. Although there was a plague running rampant at that ti, which left us with no other choice, but I only found out that he was the ruler of the country after following him ho. He already had wives and children... Everyone said that the wife was first, the concubines were second, the young were third, and the servants were fourth. At that ti, I counted on my fingers and found that I was not even fifth. He already had that many children.”
Imperial Concubine Yun’s voice was filled with loneliness and also filled with a taunting tone. Facing Yao Xian, she looked like a child that had done sothing wrong. She was afraid and filled with grief. Her words only brought about Yao Xian’s sympathy, but there was no resonance. Yao Xian used all of his might to search through the mories belonging to the body’s original owner to find this period of ti. Unfortunately, the end result was that he could find a vague mory of living in a mountain residence, but he could not recall much else. The mories belonging to the original owner of Yao Xian’s body were not as clear as Feng Yu Heng’s. After all, the age of the original Yao Xian was already quite high at the ti of his passing. In addition to this, when Feng Yu Heng had co to this world, the body was just 12-years old. The mories began from the age of three or four and was not more than 10 years. Those mories would naturally be clearer. The original Yao Xian had treated countless people. The matter with Imperial Concubine Yun had been over 30 years earlier. Not being able to rember it was pretty normal.
Imperial Concubine Yun did not ask whether or not Yao Xian was able to rember her. It seed that Yao Xian’s reaction did not matter to her too much. She just wanted to pour her heart out and only wanted to say what she wanted to say. By saying the things that she had been keeping bottled up for all of these years, she felt better.
Fortunately, Yao Xian and Feng Yu Heng were both very patient people. Further, they also wanted to hear Imperial Concubine Yun’s story, thus the three sat in the hall of the moon-viewing building and just chatted while drinking tea and eating fruits and pastries. From noon until evening, they chatted until an impression appeared in Yao Xian’s mind once more. She also recalled that the original Yao Xian had saved a pregnant woman deep in the mountains many decades earlier. At that ti, he had entered the mountains wanting to find so valuable herbs. After saving that pregnant woman, he went to the mountain village, and the people there were very welcoming. He remained for a few years, and it was during those years that he had researched a number of special herbs.
But in the end, it was still the sa. In Yao Xian’s mories, things relating to Imperial Concubine Yun and her mother were very faint. This allowed Yao Xian to know that the original Yao Xian was soone that was rather indifferent toward people. He was entirely dedicated to studying dicine. Saving people was just a simple exercise in using his abilities. It was just part of the job. But in regards to what sort of person he was saving, he did not have much mory. In fact, during those few years, he was distant and did not contact the people of the Yao family. He remained in the mountains on his own, leaving the entire Yao family in the capital. Calculating it, the original owner’s young son still should not have been very grown.
But that was a matter of the past. Yao Xian currently could not rember it, and Imperial Concubine Yun did not hope that he would rember her much. But she appeared to be completely fine and said quite a few polite words. With Feng Yu Heng helping to round things out, the atmosphere was much better than when they had first entered.
Feng Yu Heng and Yao Xian left the palace early in the evening. When they left, Imperial Concubine Yun had a relaxed expression. She had fulfilled a lifelong wish, and this was a good thing. As for Yao Xian’s neither intimate nor distant deanor allowed her to relieve herself of quite a great burden. After thinking about it later, she thought that this sort of outco was the best. She rembered, and he had an impression of it. It was neither too distant nor too close. It was neither intimate nor neglectful. Now, they also had A-Heng. The two had an extra layer to their relations. This sort of feeling was very good. Regardless of how it was, She respected him as a father and took it to heart. That was enough.
Feng Yu Heng cleverly used her space to hide Yao Xian and leave the palace. Only when they returned to the imperial daughter’s manor and returned to her own room did she dismiss everyone and also enter her space.
At that ti, Yao Xian was on the first floor stomping around near the dicine cabinets. Seeing Feng Yu Heng enter, he quickly said: “When I was in the palace earlier, I went through so of Yao Xian’s forr mories and found that when he had gone into the mountains, he had been looking for so rare dicinal herbs, and the direction of their developnt was toward dealing with inflammation, exhaustion and pain. It’s just a pity that the dicine that he had researched was already a huge step up for this ti period. But when that dicine is compared to modern dicine, there’s not even the slightest bit of use.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded, “That’s right. Although dicine in this world cannot be considered very far behind, if it’s compared to the modern world, it’s a bit lacking. Regardless of whether it’s in dicine or in technique, including the doctor’s knowledge, it needs to be improved. There are very few people like Song Kang that will think of researching surgery, but speaking of this matter, Song Kang also happened to gain the favor of so natives, which allowed him to grow.”
“A-Heng.” Yao Xian looked at her seriously: “I know that you intend to spread modern dical information in this world, but have you ever thought about how hard it will be? Not to ntion the fact that neither you nor I can produce these dicines, with the only option being to bring them out of your space, but once they co out of this space, they will have an expiration date. The world is so large. You can manage to run one Hundred Herb Hall in the capital, but once there are too many, even replenishing supplies will beco a problem. A-Heng, visions will always be beautiful, but they are not realistic.”
“I know.” Feng Yu heng nodded and was also tired, “I also thought about it before. It will be difficult to replenish supplies, but if I don’t try, I will feel unreconciled. Grandpa, why do you think the King of Heaven arranged for us to co here? It can’t be that every dead person would have a separate arrangent. Also, Da Shun does not exist in the history that we were part of. It’s as if it appeared out of thin air. There are tis when I will suspect whether or not everything is real? If Da Shun does not exist in our history, what am I considered?” As she spoke, she beca a little emotional. This was a thought that had existed in her mind the entire ti. It was just that she never dared to say it. There were tis when she even suspected that this was all an illusion and was part of her delusions. She did not dare to actually give voice to these thoughts, fearing that things would disappear as they were brought up. It just had to be that there were many things that she held dear in this place.
“You’ve overthought things there.” Yao Xian told her, “It’s not like the history that we know is the truth of history. Even historians are just coming up with theories based on artifacts that they find from each era. The so-called Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou and the so-called Spring and Autumn Period, which of them had people from the modern era personally experienced? They are historians, not gods. They can also be mistaken. Them not speaking about it does not an that it did not exist. At the sa ti, us not knowing does not an that it does not exist.”
“Grandpa ans to say that Da Shun still exists within our history? It’s just that the historians of the modern world still haven’t found it?” She furrowed her brow and thought for a bit before shaking her head, “It should not be the case. Based on how prosperous Da Shun is, it’s not quite the sa era as the Xia Dynasty or Western Zhou. No matter what, it would need to be... around the sa ti as the Tang and Song dynasties. There are even tis when I feel that its fa has already reached the sa state as the Ming Dynasty. With it being so close to modern history, how could modern historians not be able to find a single trace of it?”
“Then there is another possibility.” Yao Xian continued: “There’s another possible situation called a ‘parallel space.’ In a different world but a similar ti, different people are living in parallel. Because they are parallel, they will never intersect. We live our lives, and they live their lives. To begin with, there’s no possibility of them finding out about the other; however, when we died, there was an irregular passing between the two parallels, and we ca to the other side. Child, if grandpa says it like this, do you understand?”
It was a very mysterious explanation, but Feng Yu Heng understood it. After all, she ca from the 21st century. Science in that era had already expanded a great deal. What was there that could not be talked about? Thus she nodded and did not say anything else. She then had Ban Zou bring Yao Xian back to the Yao family; however, right before Yao Xian left, he said to her: “You doing it like this is correct. Grandpa will face these trials with you, but the Yao family is not our true family. Child, take care of yourself.”
The first snow of the year only fell in the middle of the tenth month. When it ca around, it was quite a heavy snowfall, and a thick layer of snow covered the streets. The people began to speculate whether or not there would be another Winter disaster like that year. Fortunately, it only snowed for a while before stopping and did not continue.
Feng Yu Heng brought Wang Chuan and Huang Quan to stroll through the streets. After visiting the few shops they slowly walked around. Huang Quan said that Feng Yu Heng was missing His Highness the Ninth Prince and that she was being stubborn in refusing to admit it. In her heart, however, she was worried about it. Why had he not even sent a letter after such a long ti?
The three walked along and ended up in front of An shi’s embroidery shop. Looking over, the inside of the shop was quite lively. There were quite a few people buying embroideries, and there were so people picking up their orders, carrying out bags of all sizes. Huang Quan said: “Concubine mother An’s shop is prospering quite well. She and Third Young Miss are going to be able to live a bit better.”
Wang Chuan quietly said: “That’s right! I heard that under Feng Fen Dai’s instigation, the fifth prince lowered the amount of monthly allowance given to the Feng family. That was barely even enough to support Feng Jin Yuan’s expenses, so it’s even more impossible to speak about giving so to Third Young Miss and Concubine Mother An. Fortunately, they have their own shop and don’t need to rely on anyone else to take care of them.”
“As I see it, it just serves Feng Jin Yuan right.” This ti, Huang Quan was in agreent with Fen Dai’s actions, “He should be sorted out fiercely in the way that Feng Fen Dai is doing. He’s still a father, but where is there any sign of doing anything fatherly? Last ti Prince Lian ca to the imperial daughter’s manor, he even said that Feng Jin Yuan learned to climb walls. There was even a ti when he climbed from the Feng residence into the Lian residence. His arm ended up bleeding from the fall. After that, Feng Fen Dai didn’t even call for a doctor. She just had him endure it. I heard that it took quite a few days before the pain stopped.”
Just as they were speaking, soone very impolitely shouted from behind them: “Young Miss Feng is setting out. Everyone get out of the way! Out of the way!”
