Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife ( Yang Shi Liu) 515

Change in Identity

When the army set out, Feng Yu Heng’s carriage was just about to reach the first town.

The two hidden guards that were traveling with her were named Yuan Fei and Chou Shu. The one currently driving the carriage was Chou Shu, and Yuan Fei was brought inside the carriage to sit alongside Wang Chuan and the person in the main seat. To his two sides were Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan.

“Alright, it will be like this. When we arrive at the upcoming town, we will have Huang Quan go and buy some clothes for us to change into.” Feng Yu Heng clapped her hands and was very satisfied with her own arrangements.

But Wang Chuan and Yuan Fei were no longer feeling natural, especially Yuan Fei. He did not know how he should sit. He sat up a little straighter as though he was in military posture. He did not know where he should place his hands. After pondering it over a few times, he decided to place them flat on his knees then face forward. He did not even dare look at Feng Yu Heng.

Wang Chuan and Feng Yu Heng were familiar, and there was no need to be reserved, but in regards to Feng Yu Heng’s decision of “You two will pretend to be a couple, while Huang Quan, Chou Shu and I will pretend to be servants” they were not in agreement. She said to Feng Yu Heng: “Young miss, can you not think of any other method. You will force us to pretend to be a couple?”

Huang Quan was a little puzzled, “Is it no good for you to remain a young miss, while we are maidservants and a retinue?”

Yuan Fei looked at Feng Yu Heng with a face filled with expectation, waiting for her to nod and agree. He could be a hidden guard, and there were no problems when it came to killing people. He could be dressed up as a young master and have a fake wife, but having the dignified Princess Yu act as his servant was not something that he could do!”

Unfortunately, it was completely impossible for Feng Yu Heng to be swayed. The more they wanted for her to nod, the more she would shake her head, saying: “No good. If I dressed as a young miss with you guys as maidservants and retinue, it would be too obvious. Everyone knows that imperial daughter Ji An is 13 years of age. Even if the new year passes, I would only be 14. The imperial daughter has two maidservants at her side at all times. This sort of group is too distinct. It will be very likely that it can be seen through. We will be going toward the North this time, and the trip was not something that could be completed in three to five days. As I see it, reaching Guan Zhou in just two months would already be considered quite fast, thus safety is first. We do not have any other choice.”

With her saying it like this, Wang Chuan immediately realized this reality and nodded, saying: “That’s right, it’s us servants that were mistaken. Young miss is really thorough. This arrangement is very good.”

“What was good?” Yuan Fei looked at Wang Chuan. This servant was originally his master’s subordinate. In the past, he had felt that Wang Chuan was very beautiful. After she was sent to the princess’ side, he saw her very infrequently. It was just a few days ago that they had interacted a bit while chasing after those people from Qian Zhou’s divine archery team; however, who knew that he would still be needed this time. Yuan Fei thought a bit. Even if there was a bit of embarrassment, it was worth it.

Thus he also nodded, quietly saying: “Then let’s do it like this!”

Feng Yu Heng smirked and teased Wang Chuan: “Look, your husband was quite quick to agree to it!”

Wang Chuan stomped her foot, her face turning red from these remarks.

The people inside the carriage laughed for a while. Feng Yu Heng then brought out a map that Xuan Tian Ming had given her earlier. Laying out flat on the table inside the carriage, she pointed at it and said: “From the capital to the northern provinces, we must pass through seven provinces. Among them are Xiao Zhou and Qing Zhou that are part of the He Tian Prefecture. Then from Qing Zhou to first province in the North, Guan Zhou, there are six prefectures in between. Each of these six prefectures contains two provinces. If we do not consider the towns and counties, this trip should take roughly 60 to 70 days.”
