That person had already entered Heavenly Hall to report, while Zhang Yuan held his chin in pain, unable to speak.

Feng Yu Heng waved to Zhang Yuan: "Come here."

Zhang Yuan pondered a little but still went over. Feng Yu Heng reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuan's chin, popping the dislocated jaw back in place. He quickly thanked her, but Feng Yu Heng waved her hand and no longer spoke.

Zhang Yuan stomped his foot then helplessly walked back toward the door. Only after the person who had gone in to report came out did he step forward to ask; however, he heard that person say: "His Majesty only nodded and said that he knew. He did not say anything else." That person did not stay for long, as they quickly left the Heavenly Hall's premise. Zhang Yuan looked at the distant and kneeling Feng Yu Heng. For a while, he tried to guess at the overall outcome of this competition. He could only sigh and think that this county princess Ji An really was awesome! To be able to beat Prince Xiang like that, why did he feel... so excited!

Feng Yu Heng remained kneeled in front of Heavenly Hall for over two hours, yet not a single person came out of Heavenly Hall. Occasionally, she could hear the Emperor's loud voice, but he was speaking about the country's matters. Zhang Yuan peered inside a few times but always shook his head to her.

Feng Yu Heng understood that the person, who had entered the hall earlier, must have told the Emperor about what had happened in front of the Xiang Palace and that she was kneeling here. For there to still be no movement from inside, it seemed that old Emperor was trying to kill her drive.

That was fine. Either way, she had nothing to do right now. She reached her hand into her sleeve and began to tinker with the medicine in her space.

Yao shi had become addicted to spirit-altering drug, and she had never been able to think of a method for treating it. She had been relying on keeping her asleep. Rehabilitation was still something that she would most likely need to do, but she did not know whether or not Yao shi's weak constitution would allow her to handle it.

Thinking of this, her hatred for Xuan Tian Ye became even more profound. Feng Yu Heng felt that she had let him off too easily. Why had she not been able to tear an arm off?

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard the sound of footsteps from behind her. Not long later, the footsteps stopped beside her. Immediately following this, a person squatted in front of her.

She looked up and saw that it was Bu Cong.

"Huh?" Feng Yu Heng was a little puzzled, "His Majesty summoned the military commanders for a meeting, so why has General Bu only just arrived? Coming into the palace at this time, the matters of the meeting should have already concluded, right? I figure his Majesty did not intend to call you at first anyway. Calling you is just a formality. General Bu absolutely must take care of your health. Do not feel hurt."

Bu Cong was angry and really wanted to smack this girl, "You already behave in such a manner, yet you have the heart to scold me? Woman, what exactly is going on inside your head?"

Feng Yu Heng corrected him: "First of all, what behavior? What's wrong with me kneeling to the Emperor? Is it shameful? If you have the ability, don't kneel when you greet the Emperor. Let me see what happens to you. Also, I am only 13 years old. I have not even had my first period. I cannot be considered a woman. I am just a young girl."

Bu Cong's face immediately turned red. He had never seen a girl from any family that could talk about their period without blushing or hesitating. He had absolutely no defense against it and was extremely embarrassed.

Feng Yu Heng, however, did not think much of it; however, when she saw Bu Cong stand up, she laughed and hurried him: "Quickly go in. After you've gone in, the matter will already be concluded. You've wasted a trip."
