The Fake Imperial Daughter Is Presented a Petition by Commoners
The dicine rchant Fang Ru Jiang had visited the Feng residence a few tis, hoping that Fu Ya would open a Hundred Herb Hall in Lan Zhou. News of this sohow spread and reached the ears of the citizens living in Lan Zhou.
This was not much at the start, but once the desert countries attacked, the battle in the South beca nerve-wracking. Nurous injured soldiers would be sent to Lan Zhou from the South each day to live in the dical clinic. Injured soldiers could be seen on the streets all over, and so dical clinics could not accommodate all of them. The bloody atmosphere spread all over, and although the fires of war had not yet reached Lan Zhou, the citizens of Lan Zhou had already begun feeling the nervousness.
In this sort of atmosphere, the citizens suddenly heard that there was a dicine rchant that wanted to open a Hundred Herb Hall with Imperial Daughter Ji An. News of this was sothing that had to be praised. Everyone knew that Imperial Daughter Ji An’s dical abilities were exceptional, and everyone knew that Imperial Daughter Ji An had miraculous dicines. Although the people of the South had never seen how a Hundred Herb Hall treats patients before, there were so rumors that reached this side. The rumors made Imperial Daughter Ji An sound like a deity, and it caused everyone to feel as though Imperial Daughter Ji An was a deity.
Given the current circumstances, if Imperial Daughter Ji An opened a Hundred Herb Hall, that would be a great thing for the commoners!
Thus the citizens of Lan Zhou began to rally together. Each day, large amounts of people would gather around the Feng residence’s entrance to petition in hopes that Fu Ya would agree to open a Hundred Herb Hall and relieve so of Lan Zhou’s burdens. There were also the dical clinics that had taken in a large number of injured soldiers, and there would also be a large number of people that would visit to ask for Imperial Daughter Ji An to help them with the soldiers that they were powerless to save.
This continued for over ten days, and the Feng residence had not enjoyed a single mont of peace. More and more citizens ca to petition outside the Feng residence each day. By the end, even the back entrance of the Feng residence was surrounded. The Feng residence was very tightly surrounded.
Inside the Feng residence, regardless of whether it was master or servant, not a single person dared to go outside. Fu Ya simply announced that she had fallen ill and that doctors could not treat themselves. She herself had fallen ill and truly could not do anything about it. But in truth, she and Feng Jin Yuan were spending their days, researching how to face this matter. In regards to the petition from the citizens, they did not dare to do anything, but they also did not dare to remain unmoved. They were extrely anxious and had beco noticeably thinner.
Feng Jin Yuan calculated the days and said: “The eagle that we sent back to the capital with our letter should see a return letter shortly.”
Fu Ya said: “Even if sothing happened to the letter that we sent, the capital should also be sending a letter of their own regardless. Now that Noble Lady Yuan is in the palace and His Highness the eighth prince is also in the palace, they can’t just leave us to handle the matters over here on our own. This was a play that they had arranged, yet they have just left us here to our own devices? Who would co and take care of this big plot?” She was complaining a bit. Originally, even if there would be so movents, they would not be so urgent, but now it had been pressed to this degree. She could not do without being anxious.
Feng Jin Yuan was also feeling anxious, but he was already clear on what he needed to do first. At the very least, he needed calm Fu Ya. He needed to ensure that no mistakes were made at this critical mont. He analyzed the situation and said to Fu Ya: “It’s chaotic outside. Perhaps the situation in the capital is also the sa. It’s inevitable that the letter sent by His Highness the eighth prince’s side will be intercepted along the way. But there’s no need to be afraid. Didn’t we already discuss this a few days ago? Since there is soone willing to spend money for us to open a dicine shop, we can just open one. When the ti cos for us to act as doctors, we can just invite so famous doctors. You are a girl and also a mber of the imperial family as an imperial daughter. How could you possibly personally go and personally perform examinations? Even in the capital, that person herself does not go. That’s why it’s fine to open a Hundred Herb Hall. As for those that wish to invite you out to their dical clinics, you can just continue saying that you are ill, and there will be nothing that they can do. There are also the various strange dicines. In the worst-case scenario, just bring so in from the Hundred Herb Halls outside the region. There will always be possibilities.”
“Then how long will I continue feigning this illness?” Fu Ya was clearly a bit annoyed. Unable to go out each day while staying inside the residence like a criminal, she was almost unable to endure it any longer.
“It should not be much longer. News should very quickly co from the capital.”
Just after Feng Jin Yuan’s words ca out of his mouth, the footsteps of a servant ca from the outside. It was a hidden guard that had been left in the South. The person stopped outside and said: “Word has co from the capital.”
The two rejoiced and quickly called that person inside. After the person entered, he just handed over a letter that had been rolled up to Feng Jin Yuan then retreated from the room.
Feng Jin Yuan opened up the letter. It was Xuan Tian Mo’s handwriting, and it provided so explanations about their life in Lan Zhou; however, they were just normal instructions. They just told them to continue living in accordance with Feng Yu Heng’s identity. There was no need to worry about anything else. If there was anything that they could not resolve, they could just seek out Ji Ling Tian. He would have an idea. But the end of the letter brought up a very important matter: Feng Yu Heng has gone to her fief. It’s possible that she might go from her fief to Lan Zhou, and they must be careful.
This ti, it was not just Fu Ya, as Feng Jin Yuan also beca a bit dazed. In regards to Feng Yu Heng, he had a bit of a reflexive feeling of horror. He thought that coming to the South would free him completely of that person, but what was that girl coming to the South for? To catch them? Feng Jin Yuan always felt that there seed to be sothing that they did not know hidden in it, but the eighth prince’s letter did not say anything, and he could not quite guess it.
But he still felt uneasy. He felt that the eighth prince was hiding sothing from them, and this made him feel uncomfortable. Since the two sides were working together, they were now the eighth prince’s people, so why were they still being kept in the dark? What exactly was being hidden? Feng Jin Yuan could not guess it no matter what.
Fu Ya was just as puzzled as him, and the two looked blankly at the letter, their hearts filled with speculation.
“Father.” After a long ti, Fu Ya spoke up, “Say, what exactly is she coming to the South for? With her coming, our identity will naturally be exposed. Lan Zhou... what will be left for us to do?” She smiled bitterly, “In the end, a fake is a fake. No matter what arrangents are made, there will be a day when mistakes are made. Right now, we should not be considering whether or not to open a Hundred Herb Hall. We should be thinking about how to flee for our lives, right? Once Feng Yu Heng cos, what chance will remain for us to live.” In regards to Feng Yu Heng’s thods, Fu Ya would beco flustered upon thinking of them. Even to this mont, there were still scars on her body. They were the result of being hit while in the Yao family’s other courtyard.
Feng Jin Yuan also trembled. Just like Fu Ya, it was a subconscious reaction caused by a horror that stemd from Feng Yu Heng. It had already taken hold of his heart and could not be shaken no matter what. But thinking about it more carefully, he also felt that it was not as pessimistic as Fu Ya had said. He analyzed: “His Highness the eighth prince’s letter ntioned that we should be extrely careful; however, he did not tell us to leave imdiately. Instead, he wanted us to continue living normally. What does this an?” His mind raced, “This ans that His Highness the eighth prince should have a secret weapon. Think about it, this side could be considered His Highness the eighth prince’s domain. Even if Feng Yu Heng ca, what waves could she stir? The prefect of Lan Zhou recognizes us. Would it not just be him saying that she’s not to prove that she’s not?”
“Father ans to say...”
“Have the fake act real and act as though the real is fake!” Feng Jin Yuan beca joyous. He felt that his analysis was very reasonable, “Feng Yu Heng coming to the South might be sothing prepared by His Highness the eighth prince. It’s likely that she will co and never return. When that ti cos, the South will still be our domain!”
“Really?” Fu Ya’s thoughts beca lively, and she was no longer as dreary as she had been before, “If it really is like that, we still have value.” She was very happy, “As long as we are still useful to His Highness the eighth prince, we will not be quickly discarded. If we do things properly, the things that His Highness promised will definitely be delivered.” She looked at Feng Jin Yuan and smiled, “Father, we’ll do as you said. We will continue to prepare around opening a Hundred Herb Hall. I will think of sothing to have the maidservants go out and say sothing to the lord prefect. Have him co and think of how to get dicine from the Hundred Herb Halls from other provinces. In any case, we need to get through this one hurdle.”
The two reached an agreent on the matter, and they had beco spirited, imdiately beginning to arrange things.
In the Yao manor in the capital, Xu shi, Qin shi and Miao shi had already made their preparations to leave the capital, but Miao shi changed her mind right before departing. She believed that the three could not all go to Ji An Prefecture. Even if A-Heng needed soone to take care of her, Zi Rui was still in Xiao Zhou. With all of them so far away, what if sothing happened on Zi Rui’s side without an aunt at his side. After all, that child was still small.
Xu shi’s group heard this and felt that this was the case, thus Xu shi waved her hand: “Then you will go to Xiao Zhou. Second sister and I will go to Ji An Prefecture.”
In regards to the decision made by the three, there was nothing that the Yao family could do. Yao Jing Jun was worried that they would go and cause trouble for Feng Yu Heng after going over, but Yao Xian then spoke up. He felt that Xu shi and Qin shi going over was also good. No matter how much ability that girl had, in his eyes, she was still just a child. Moreover, after a few more months, she would beco of age. To have her co back to the capital to celebrate her becoming of age was not too probable, thus the family had to send so adults over to prepare for it.
When Yao Xian brought up this matter, Yao Jing Jun and the others also reacted. At the sa ti, they also rembered what His Highness the ninth prince had been saying the entire ti. They would get married on the day that Feng Yu Heng beca of marriageable age. But now that the South has beco a ss, perhaps this wedding would need to be delayed, but the coming of age ceremony still needed to be carried out. Upon thinking of this, Yao Jing Jun imdiately changed his position and began to rush Xu shi and Qin shi to get on their way. He also asked if they had brought enough stuff. He asked until even Xu shi felt annoyed, but he was still uneasy and simply made the decision: “A-Heng coming of age is sothing that the entire family will go for. You go and prepare first over there. The things that were not brought over, we will bring later on.”
Just like this, Xu shi and Qin shi were sent off toward Ji An Prefecture by the entire family. As for Miao shi, she also began to head toward Xiao Zhou.
Watching the carriages move further and further, Yao Xian repeatedly lanted internally. He thought to himself, living again in this world, although Feng Yu Heng ended up in such an exceptional family like the Feng family, fortunately, the Yao family treated her sincerely, thus she did not suffer too much of a loss. He advised Yao Jing Jun: “Send two hidden guards to follow them and protect them. Send one toward Xiao Zhou. Although Xiao Zhou is closer, nothing must happen. Eldest daughter-in-law’s journey is longer. She must be protected.”
Yao Jing Jun nodded and complied, quickly going to move the people around. Xu shi and Qin shi only brought their personal maidservants and so drivers. The two sat in the sa carriage, and there were two carriages filled with items following behind them. It was no good if there was nobody going along to protect them. Fortunately, the Yao manor now had plenty of hidden guards. He thought for a bit then sent the hidden guards sent by the Yu Palace. He then told the two to report to Feng Yu Heng after arriving in Ji An Prefecture.
After the Yao family sent away the three wives, the children were still mired in the hurt of “being discarded by their mothers.” Yao Shu went to call for the manor’s gates to be closed, but just as he reached the entrance and before he could speak, he saw a couple people sneaking around. They looked around and used their sleeves to cover up their faces. They did not look like good people.
He furrowed his eyebrows and asked in a foul mood: “You two, what are you doing?”
