Things went as Feng Yu Heng had expected. Before dinner, sure enough, someone came from the Feng manor to Tong Sheng pavilion, and it was not just one person. It was a pair of people.

The Cheng shi sisters coming was something that Feng Yu Heng thought would happen. After the two entered the manor, they did not communicate with her too much. Now that she was about to leave the capital, they had to make this trip.

The Cheng shi sisters saluted Feng Yu Heng, paying their respects and wishing county princess well. Feng Yu Heng personally invited the two into the hall then gave them seats, as a servant brought out some tea. When the servant left, she closed the door behind her.

The two were direct and did not bother with any small talk, as the elder sister, Cheng Jun Man, said: "When aunty told us to marry into the Feng manor, she said that county princess would need to go and produce steel sooner or later, so us sisters will definitely need to take care of the family."

Cheng Jun Mei also said: "Aunty is worried about that eldest princess from Qian Zhou because the tributary moon palace silk that was brought in this year was soaked in musk."

Feng Yu Heng was slightly startled; musk? It would increase the strength and rate of contractions to stop early pregnancies. Moon palace silk was a valuable thing. After Da Shun obtained it, it would definitely be awarded to the Empress or a favored concubine. Qian Zhou had this sort of idea?

Seeing her fall silent in contemplation, the Cheng shi sisters did not rush her. They patiently waited until Feng Yu Heng let out a slight sigh, as her usual calm smile returned to her face. They then heard her say: "Qian Zhou has wicked ambitions. Sooner or later, they will need to eat their own poisoned fruit. Didn't father Emperor award two bolts of moon palace silk to Ru Jia? You two should think of a way to have those two bolts sent into the palace for her to use. Remember, she must use it herself."

The two looked at each other. Having received instructions from Feng Yu Heng, they could not help but smile, "County princess, don't worry. We understand."

"Un." Feng Yu Heng nodded then said: "You must take care to watch over Han shi's pregnancy. You absolutely must make sure that she can safely give birth to her child. Make absolutely certain that nobody can do anything that child."

Cheng Jun Mei was puzzled, "Is Han shi one of county princess' people?"

Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "No, but her child must be born. Like that, this family will become more entertaining."

The Cheng shi sisters did not understand what these words meant, but before they left the imperial palace, the Empress had said that they would listen to county princess Ji An after arriving at the Feng manor. Feng Jin Yuan would not be their support. It would be Feng Yu Heng.

Cheng Jun Main quickly expressed herself: "Very well, us sisters will definitely protect Han shi's pregnancy. Some news came from the palace over the past few days. Concubine An's insanity became worse. Surprisingly, she had the people of her palace perform a dance, and this happened to be seen by his Majesty, who ordered her execution. I heard that before she was sentenced to death, his Highness the fifth prince was taking care of her. Although he could sit at concubine An's side, unfortunately, concubine An continued to think of him as his Highness the third prince."

Feng Yu Heng had been inside her space for most of the past few days, or looking at accounts and arranging matters with Tong Sheng pavilion. How could she have the time or energy to worry about the situation outside. She truly had not heard anything about concubine Ann.

But thinking about it, after she had gone to Qing An Palace the last time, it would not have been very possible for concubine An to continue living well. Going crazy then dying might have been the best possible end for her. In regards to that woman, she had been very merciful. Otherwise, with her emerald hummingbirds poisoning the army, once she had told the Emperor, concubine An's end would definitely have been much worse than going insane.
