Chapter 729
"Is the Seventh Princess of Gu Shu?" Feng Yuheng sat in the yard eating fruit. The people sitting opposite her were Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua. "I thought of it for a long time. Who else can bring Dashunlai in the southern border except the Seventh Princess? It seems that the Lu family and Gu Shu also have a close connection. Otherwise, why would the Seventh Princess give the poisonous insect to Lu Yao?" She took a bite of the apple, thought about it again, but shook her head and denied it, "It's not necessarily that if Lu Yao said she wanted to use the insect to harm me, maybe the Princess of Gu Shu could really give it to her."
Xuan Tianming said helplessly: "It turns out that the whole world is your enemy! However, even if the Lu family has no direct connection with Gu Shu, they have a close relationship with Lao Ba. I think the only remaining daughter in their family is left for Lao Ba."
"That's natural." Xuan Tian also said, "The Lu family has had a close contact with Concubine Yuan Shu in the palace recently. If they didn't have the idea of Lao Ba, they would never go on this road. However, let them go, Lao Ba will have a fight sooner or later. I just don't know how big his plate is and how much energy we have to deal with it. As for the seventh princess of ancient Shu, Dashun should not deal with it directly, and most of them will send it back to ancient Shu, so the escort..."
"I'll go." Xuan Tianming said coldly: "I'll go south and just take a look at the road."
"Did you go to the southern border so early?" Feng Yuheng was stunned and finally could not lean on the back of the chair to eat fruits anymore. She leaned forward and asked Xuan Tianming urgently, "Didn't you say you would leave after the New Year? Why did you suddenly change your mind? So anxious?"
Xuan Tianming reached out to rub her head, "It's not that I'm not coming back, I'm just escorting the seventh princess of the ancient Shu back, and I'll be able to come back at the end of the year. You've also seen this Yuexi Palace Banquet. None of the people in the south are calm. In their eyes, there is no court or emperor. So many people came to Beijing this time, it's just to see with your own eyes what the situation is like in the capital. However, Ah Heng made a good decision this time, and with the Yao family in the Feng family, I think it's a shame for them. At least after going back, the reward for Princess Ji'an will be blooming."
"I'm quite famous in their small group?" Feng Yuheng rubbed his nose and fought for himself. "Since it's not going to fight, it's just escorting a prisoner, then you can take me with you?"
Xuan Tianming shook his head, "You have made such a big plate in Beijing, and then you can leave as soon as you say, aren't you afraid of malicious provocations by those who are interested? Why do you believe it? A few tests are inevitable. If you leave, you will be out of sight, but the effect is much worse than watching and not caring about it. After finally setting up such a game, don't let it lose its effect. Be good, I will come back as soon as possible and believe me."
What else could Feng Yuheng say? She sat back in the chair and continued to eat the fruit.
As expected by a few people, the next day, the court heard that the seventh princess of the ancient Shu was immediately sent back to the country and was personally escorted by the ninth prince Xuan Tianming. Because of Lu Yao's murder, Lu Song was fined three years of salary as a punishment. Lu Song expressed his acceptance.
Xuan Tianming was about to go to the southern border, which made many officials in the southern border speculate. They didn't understand why the escort Princess of the Gu Shu had to send him to the Ninth Prince. Some people even asked about it, wanting to know if Xuan Tianming's troops were mobilized, but the news they got was still in control and had no intention of gathering one soldier. But no one knew that just one night before Xuan Tianming set out, he secretly met General Pingnan. General Pingnan handed him a treasure jade with him as a token to dispatch those old subordinates who were still in the southern border.
The next day, Xuan Tianming was on a trip and Feng Yuheng took him all the way to the gate of Nancheng.
The seventh princess of Gu Shu was sitting in the carriage. The carriage was not luxurious, but also comfortable. After all, it was a princess of a country. Dashun did not criticize her, but did not give her much treatment. At this moment, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming walked side by side at the front of the team. Bai Ze led the horse and stopped outside the south gate. He heard the princess of Gu Shu shouting behind him: "Princess Ji'an!"
Feng Yuheng turned around and responded with a faint smile: "Princess, please say something."
The princess of the ancient Shu asked the carriage to drive forward a few more steps. She sat next to the carriage and raised an exotic face toward Guan Fengyuheng and said, "If you want your future husband to send me back to China, aren't you afraid that I will eat him halfway?" The foreign women were all unrestrained and outgoing. As they spoke, they had big eyes full of teasing. They said to Feng Yuheng, but their eyes were looking at Xuan Tianming.
Unfortunately, Xuan Tianming is often just unconscious. For example, in terms of women, in addition to Feng Yuheng, the person he could look at could count his fingers, which was nothing more than Concubine Yun and Xuan Tiange. To him, the bold teasing of the Seventh Princess was no different from watching a man, which made the Seventh Princess feel very boring.
Feng Yuheng smiled so hard that his stomach hurt. She asked the Seventh Princess: "Don't you think you should consider the safety issues along the way? Seventh Princess, don't blame me for not reminding you, my fiancé, is moody. When he is happy, he may be able to take you quietly on the road back to the southern border. But if he is unhappy, he may burn the carriage you are on, or throw you off the cliff directly, and more likely to use his whip to suck your face. Seventh Princess, I'm not scaring you, this is true."
Bai Ze laughed when he heard this, "The princess is so horrible. Our princess is not that vicious. At most, he can feed the poisonous insect to His Highness Seventh Princess. Prince, are you right?"
Xuan Tianming sneered, "It depends on the mood."
The seventh princess of ancient Shu suddenly shivered. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she felt the cold for the first time. "You two guys said love words all the way, are you over? Let's set off quickly, I will mainly return to ancient Shu." After she finished speaking, she put down the curtain of the car and returned directly to the carriage, not wanting to say another word.
But Xuan Tianming said loudly: "What's the hurry? You can't help us when you come to the capital, so now you can't leave the capital now." Then, he ignored the carriage and just took Feng Yuheng's hand and walked forward a few more words, gently hugging the person, like a couple saying goodbye, but no one knew that Xuan Tianming was saying to Feng Yuheng: "The business chain of the Lu family is the primary link in communication with the south side, cutting off their business and killing their lives."
Feng Yuheng chuckled, "Don't worry, everything will be done before you come back. I'll wait for you in the capital and come back early."
Finally, Xuantian's team gradually moved away, and Wangchuan and Huang Quan accompanied Feng Yuheng back to the mansion. Since then, officials from other provinces have also left Beijing one after another, including the Lanzhou magistrate and Luo Tian magistrate.
In the palace, the palace of the sacred
Concubine Yuan Shu held a handwritten letter, and the maid Yuexiu was bringing her a bowl of bird's nest. "The empress took advantage of the warmth and drank it first, and then read the letter again."
Concubine Yuan Shu smiled and threw the handbook aside, took the bird's nest and ate it bite by bit, but also told Yuexiu: "I have finished reading it. The Lanzhou Prefect Ji Lingtian not only left this handbook that showed the Ji family's wishes, but also sent a silver note with a huge denomination, saying that he would wholeheartedly support and assist the Eighth Highness. This sincerity is a bit obvious, at least it is much better than the Lu family's empty words."
Yuexiu had no extra expression on her face, but just asked her: "Lanzhou is the last prefecture and county in the southern border. There is no other way if they don't rely on the Eighth Highness. Do the Empress believe what he said will support the Eighth Highness wholeheartedly? I think that those officials and adults are all cunning and difficult to control."
"That's right." Concubine Yuan Shu sneered, "The four words "wholehearted" are easy to say, but not easy to do. They regard the southern border as their home, and Mo'er is in a big position there. Naturally, they have tasted the sweetness and have some friendship. But if we really want to be loyal, according to our eyes, there are not many. Didn't Lao Jiu go to the south too? The palace's eyelids have been jumping all these days, and always feel that Lao Jiu has nothing good to do in the past, so they might cause much trouble for Mo'er. For the officials of the southern border, once they see a prince who is more intelligent than Mo'er, and they also hold military power, if they go further and let Lao Jiu establish his foothold in the desert in the southern border, do you think they will turn against him?"
Yuexiu thought about it and nodded, "The Empress is right. There is indeed this possibility, but we can't wait for His Royal Highness to go south to get a piece of the pie. We always have to make some preparations."
"Yes!" Yuan Shufei sighed, "But, how should I prepare?"
"Empress." Yuexiu took two steps forward, bent over, and lowered her voice: "Your Highness has not yet married the official concubine, and there are not even the serious concubines or concubines. I heard that there are only a few maids in the mansion and cannot be put on the table. The Lu family intends to promise their own legitimate daughter to the Eighth Highness, but that is what happened after returning to the capital. Now in the south, it is better for the Empress to tell His Highness that it is better to marry a few concubines if the Prince of the Lanzhou Prefecture and the Luo Tian Prefecture's family, there are always a few concubines? It is a good way out for the Prince to marry the Prince to be the concubine."
Concubine Yuan Shu nodded, "It's indeed a good idea. Mo'er hasn't married a concubine for many years and hasn't mentioned this matter. I also took this opportunity to ask what he was thinking? There is also Fu Ya and Yue Xiu outside the palace. You immediately find the best painter. I will invite Miss Fu Ya to come to the palace to sit in a few days, and ask the painter to paint a portrait of her. Then I will send it to Mo'er and listen to his thoughts."
"I heard that Princess Ji'an has broken up with Mrs. Yao, the Yao family, and the Feng family."
"Who knows?" Yuan Shufei frowned and thought for a while, "In a few days, we should try and test, or if we really break up the team, we should also adjust the direction and not do those useless things."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather became colder and colder, and Feng Yuheng and his relatives also became colder and colder, especially with the Yao family, they were only separated by a wall and they were still alive. Some people even saw the servants of the Yao family secretly pouring dirty water at the door of the princess's mansion.
For a moment, Princess Ji'an broke up with her relatives, and this matter was finally settled.
