"Young miss!" The person that had come from behind was Wang Chuan. Feng Yu Heng turned around and saw Wang Chuan quickly coming over. After hearing her whisper something into her ear, she furrowed her brow tightly.
"We're returning to the county princess' manor." She did not continue in the direction of Tian Xiang courtyard. She had heard that Xu Jing Yuan had already searched that side. Thinking about it, anything related to Kang Yi would no longer be there. Feng Yu Heng figured that she would just send someone to the government office later.
He Zhong saw that Feng Yu Heng had just returned; however, she left once more in a flurry. He was very curious about what Wang Chuan had said to her, but no matter how curious he was, he did not have the right to know, thus he could only helplessly shake his head, informing the gatekeeper: "Stay alert and pay attention." He then went to Shu Ya courtyard to report to the matriarch.
Feng Yu Heng brought Wang Chuan back to the county princess' manor. Only after they returned to her room did she ask: "Say, Xuan Tian Ye's maternal family has already arrived in the capital?"
Wang Chuan nodded: "Young miss did not return last night. Word of Qian Zhou's people causing trouble has already spread. This servant did not dare not alert you. Thus I had two hidden guards go out and inquire. One of them went out of the capital. This morning, they brought back news that Duan Mu Qiang has already arrived at the capital's gates."
"Duan Mu Qing..." She repeated this name; however, she did not have a deeper understanding of this name. She just knew that it was someone from Xuan Tian Ye's maternal family. As for the details, she did not know a single one.
Wang Chuan told her: "The current leader of the three northernmost provinces is called Duan Mu Anguo. He is the third prince's maternal grandfather. Duan Mu Qing was that person's eldest grandson, and he was the third prince's cousin."
"How many of them came?"
Wang Chuan said: "The precise number is unknown because if there were other preparations, they would definitely be hidden in the shadows. But that Duan Mu Qing is in his early 20s; however, he is already the deputy leader of the three northernmost provinces. Together with his grandfather, he manages the troops. Speaking of, the troops of the North were mostly recruited locally. The majority of them are Da Shun's citizens with Qian Zhou's blood flowing in them. In truth, the reason his Majesty does not like the third prince is in part because his maternal grandfather took in a concubine from Qian Zhou. That concubine would be the third prince's birth mother."
"So it was like that." Feng Yu Heng always felt that the Emperor truly did not have any fatherly feelings for Xuan Tian Ye. Not only was there no pity, he even hoped that he would be unlucky, get injured or even die. But if it was said that this was a reason, it was not the main reason.
"There is something else." Wang Chuan furrowed her brow tightly and said: "I wonder if young miss has heard of ghost doctor Song Kang?"
"Ghost doctor Song Kang?" Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "I have never heard of this person. Where is this person from? Is this person also a doctor?"
Wang Chuan said: "It is a famous divine doctor from Qian Zhou. His fame in Qian Zhou is basically the same as divine doctor Yao's fame in Da Shun. Everyone says that the ghost doctor can bring people back from the brink of death. People have lost count of how many dead people he has saved."
Feng Yu Heng was a little dazed from hearing this and shook her head: "How could this sort of thing happen? They had exaggerated a little too much. What, do you mean that ghost doctor Song Kang also came to the capital?"
Wang Chuan nodded, "Yes, Duan Mu Qing's group brought Song Kang. That person always wears a set of black robes. It is very easy to notice him. Thinking about it, he should be here to treat the third prince's injuries." Speaking to this point, Wang Chuan was a little regretful, "If we knew about this earlier, it would have been better for young miss to have killed him back then."
