Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife
chapter-1103-30041322

It’s You?

The instant he saw the Sixth Prince, Xu Mao did think about telling the Sixth Prince about what happened in the imperial palace. But thinking about it again, those two people definitely looked like Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng on the surface, there might be some trick to this, if Feng Yuheng arranged this intentionally, he was afraid that he would ruin things based on his good intentions.

So he chose to hide this matter, telling the Sixth Prince: “This Lowly One is heading to the hunting grounds, another colleague is on duty at the Imperial Health Hall.”

The Sixth Prince nodded, not suspecting him. He gave some instructions then let Xu Mao rush towards the hunting grounds.

Xu Mao’s horse carriage travelled towards the hunting grounds at full speed, and finally met Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng before noon.

He quickly and completely described what happened to the pair, the three of them gathered together at one spot and discussing. This scene was coincidentally seen by Fendai’s personal maid Dong Ying. Dong Ying came back to fetch a cape for Fendai. With it being autumn and the weather becoming cooler, Fendai went to stroll in the mountains without eating breakfast, yet she was unwilling to return when it was already this time. She knew her Young Miss was in a bad mood, so she did not push for Fendai to return, but she still informed Fendai that she was returning to get a cape to prevent Fendai from getting a cold from the mountain wind.

Unexpectedly, she saw a stranger hurry over, secretly speaking with the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu about something, then she saw the Ninth Prince tell the Seventh Prince something, and after that, he actually pulled Princess Yu with him, and with one person per horse, they left the hunting grounds just like that.

Dong Ying thought that it was strange, but thinking about it again, perhaps the Masters had matters which only concerned the Masters, it was useless for the servant like her to think about it. Therefore, she did not put this matter to heart, only going to the tent to get a cape for Fendai, then returned to the mountain.

But on the way back, she saw Wang Chuan and Huang Quan leave as well, and they had serious expressions on their faces, giving the impression that something bad had happened. This was when she sensed that something was not right, reaching a conclusion in her heart, she quickened her pace, wanting to tell Fendai about this. To be able to make the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu leave at the same time, and with such serious expressions on their faces, something huge could have happened.

At this moment, Fendai was currently sitting in the mountain at the hunting grounds, watching the maple leaves which had started to turn red in autumn. It was not known what she was thinking, the edges of her mouth was curled up in a smile, her gaze containing some yearning. If someone saw her appearance now, they would say from the bottom of their heart: So beautiful. There was no one bad looking in the daughters of the Feng family after all, it was just a different kind of beauty. Fendai’s birth mother Han Shi was born in the red light district, and there was nothing to criticise about her appearance, Feng Jinyuan was also a famous handsome man in the capital in his early days. With a combination of these two, it was impossible for a child born from them to be ugly. It was just that Fendai’s domineering personality to the point of being twisted clouded over her beautiful appearance, which caused very few people to pay attention to her appearance.

“Young Miss.” Dong Ying returned, draping the cape over her back, “The wind is cold in the mountains, This Servant heard that there will be a hunt this afternoon, we should return to the camping grounds early!”

Fendai retracted her gaze from where she looked towards the trees with her head slightly raised and the look in her eyes gradually returned to reality, very quickly, she reverted to the expressionless cold face she was used to. She asked Dong Ying: “Say, do you think there will be large beasts in this mountain. If we do not return, would we get eaten by those beasts?”

Dong Ying told her helplessly: “Young Miss is overthinking. This is the imperial hunting grounds, how can there be large beasts, there will only be mountain deer and similar things. This Servant thinks that if large beasts are to be caught, one would have to go to the mountain behind this one, and metal nets are placed between these two mountains over the fear that the beasts will barge in and harm the imperial family and nobles.” As she spoke, she saw that Fendai did not have any intentions of leaving, so she choose to sit beside her and look around, speaking to Fendai in a low voice: “Young Miss, This Servant just saw a scene, and my heart is bothered by it. This Servant will tell Young Miss, Young Miss can analyse and see what kind of situation it is.”

She told Fendai in detail about what she saw in the camp at the bottom of the mountain. At the beginning, Fendai was not paying attention, but as she listened, she started to frown as well. And when Dong Ying finished speaking, she actually stood up with a “duang”, speaking: “Something must have happened in the capital! I always felt that these days were too peaceful. After the commotion by the Eighth Prince, I always felt that the court would not be this peaceful, as expected, a problem has occurred.”

“What problem would it be?” Dong Ying did not understand, “Imperial Concubine Gui had been executed, the Eighth Prince is still locked in prison, what else will happen in Da Shun?”

“Who knows!” Fendai said: “Many things are unexpected, anyway, the current Da Shun could not be compared to a few years ago. A few years ago, regardless of how messy things are, it was only the various family manors causing trouble behind closed doors, at most asking for the Emperor to judge who was reasonable at imperial banquets. Just like the Feng family, as the court’s Left Prime Minister, when they were in trouble, it was only people dying one after another, but in the end, it did not affect Da Shun’s national fortune that much. But it is different now, currently every commotion will be huge, and everything that we did not expect will happen, anyone we do not expect can possibly stand on the opposing side all of a sudden. You said the Ninth Prince and Feng Yuheng left, and even Feng Yuheng’s maids hurried after them, what kind of matter can make those two move at the same time? Her gaze turned sad and she said: “I am looking forward to this.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and wanted to descend the mountain, but as she turned around, her sweeping gaze noticed that something seemed to have moved at a place to her left around 40 to 50 steps in front.

Fendai stopped walking, looking in that direction. The distance was rather far and she could not see properly, but there was barely any wind today. Other than the cool air only felt in mountains, everything was relatively still. And in this stillness, the movement in the grass and trees were more noticeable.

Dong Ying followed Fendai’s gaze and noticed the strange movement, but she thought: “It should be a small animal, right? Not showing a head, it should be a rabbit.”

“Have you ever seen a small rabbit moving so much?” Fendai did not agree with Dong Ying’s analysis at all, stopping her descent of the mountain, walking in the direction of that strange movement.

Dong Ying was a little anxious, following behind and speaking: “Young Miss, let’s not care about this, if it’s not a rabbit, it will be other small animals, there’s nothing good to see.”

“What if it’s not an animal but a person?” Fendai trusted her own instincts, “Regardless of what it is, there is nothing to lose by taking a look.” As she spoke, her pace even quickened, and at the same time, she indicated to Dong Ying that she should not speak anymore.

As the pair walked, at this moment, they saw two people approaching from the other side of the mountain, they were jogging over, running straight towards the location of the strange movement.

Fendai stopped, watching closely for a while, then quickly recognised that the person running over opposite was the first daughter of the Right Prime Minister’s family Feng Tianyu, as well as her personal maid. She did not walk forward any longer, looking for a large tree to hide behind, stealthily looking in that direction.

Dong Ying followed her and carefully hid herself. Looking over again, she realised that the Young Miss from that Feng family did not even pay any attention to this direction, running straight towards the area with the strange movement, then with a “Kya”, she said: “Why are there such serious injuries?”

Fendai’s heart thumped in she craned her head to look. Seeing Feng Tianyu bend over, she held up a seriously injured person a short while later. “You look familiar to me, but I do not remember who you are, since you can run over to the imperial hunting grounds, you must not have stumbled in accidentally, right? Who are you?” This was what Feng Tianyu asked, and at the same time, this was what Fendai wanted to ask as well.

That was a man and he was covered in blood. It was not known where the injury was, but he was conscious. But seeing that when he saw that the person holding him up was Feng Tianyu, he stared for a while then clearly breathed a sigh of relief, speaking to himself: “It’s good, meeting the Young Miss from the Right Prime Minister’s family, my life can be saved.”

His body was weak, but his voice had not weakened to the point where it could not be heard clearly. At least from the position of Feng Fendai’s hiding place, it could easily be heard clearly.

When he said this, Fendai immediately realised that those two must know each other, Feng Tianyu herself said that he was a little familiar, so she must have been unable to recognise him for the moment because the injuries were too serious. She watched for a while and saw Feng Tianyu staring at that man, a short while later, she suddenly became very surprised: “It’s you? You are Zong Sui’s Fourth Prince, Li Kun!”

When these words were said, Fendai was surprised as well, her heart thumping vigorously a few times. Zong Sui’s Fourth Prince, Li Kun, she had an impression of that person as well! When they came to Da Shun to present their treasure, Feng Yuheng snapped their refined iron weapon on the spot, causing Zong Sui’s refined iron to step down from the stage of being sought after by others, and what replaced this, was Da Shun’s new steel.

But Li Kun was Zong Sui’s prince, and currently running over to Da Shun covered in serious injuries, why did she suddenly feel that, this Li Kun appearing definitely had something to do with Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng suddenly leaving?

As she was thinking, she did not hear what the two people in front were talking about, only seeing Feng Tianyu and her maid helping Li Kun up together, and after confirming that Li Kun could still manage to walk, they quickly brought him down the mountain, heading in the direction of the camping grounds.

Fendai followed behind for a while and personally saw Feng Tianyu ask her maid to look for a set of clothes worn by Da Shun’s soldiers for Li Kun to change into before leaving the mountain, then helped Li Kun enter her tent.

She was very curious and wanted to move forward a few more steps, thinking that it was best to be outside the tent to listen for a while to hear what the people inside were talking about. But just as she started to walk, her thigh was suddenly hugged by someone. A young voice was heard, calling her: “Older Sister, you finally came back! Xiao Bao missed you.”

Fendai frowned, looking at Xiao Bao, irritation on her face, she even made a kicking motion using the leg Xiao Bao was hugging, shouting: “Let go!”

Xiao Bao did not understand, thinking that Fendai was playing with him, giggling and not willing to let go. But Fendai became harsh, kicking out hard with that leg, throwing that child out directly. With such a small child, seeing that he was thrown far away, when he was about to hit the ground, he was caught by the Fifth Prince Xuan Tianyan who rushed over after him.

Xuan Tianyan looking towards Fendai in confusion, as if he was looking at a scary stranger, he asked Fendai: “What are you doing? This is your blood related younger brother, do you want make him fall to his death?”

Xiao Bao was also afraid, but he did not believe that his older sister would make him fall to his death, and even explained to Xuan Tianyan with all his might: “Older Sister was playing with Xiao Bao.”

Xuan Tianyan patted this child’s head, asking Fendai again: “Hearing words like this, does your heart not hurt? Do you not feel guilty? Feng Fendai, I had thought that you only had a spoilt temperament and a bad temper, but unexpectedly, your heart is also this vicious!”
