Shen Yi Di Nu (873 to 1073) Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (神医嫡女）

Chapter 1007

Gu

Feng Yuheng did not know what sort of surprise Xuan Tianhua was speaking of, and neither would speak about it when asked. She was so frustrated that she began to throw a tantrum, which made the other two laugh.

However, while the atmosphere looked to be very relaxed while they were laughing, in their hearts, there was a feeling of indescribable pressure.

When she was finally unable to keep up the act, Feng Yuheng took the initiative to ask: “Will Father Emperor ask for the tiger tally you have?” She said to Xuan Tianming: “The 30 thousand troops that sixth brother lent to seventh brother have been taken back, and sixth brother was ordered to come back to the capital for the new year to hand over the tiger tally. With the 30 thousand troops as a precedent, I am worried about the tiger tally in your possession and your right to command troops. If it really is the case that Father Emperor has been controlled by a gu, these things will eventually be handed over to old eighth.”

Xuan Tianming shrugged, “In the end, the country belongs to the old man. He has the right to choose. When that time comes, the world is vast, and we can just leave.”

“But that is not what Father Emperor truly wants.” Feng Yuheng spoke with a bit of a depressed tone, “He’s just been controlled by someone else. Didn’t you also say it before? Although we don’t like this country, we won’t tolerate someone else throwing it into chaos. Moreover, he… is your father. We can’t just watch him go through this in his final years; otherwise, regardless of where we go, we will eventually regret it.” She grabbed Xuan Tianming’s hand and told him: “We need to do everything that we can to help Da Shun overcome this trial and help Father Emperor find himself again. Even if it really can’t be done, we would have at least done everything that we could.”

Xuan Tianming looked at her and reached out to pat her head. After patting her for a long time, he simply said: “My Heng Heng has grown up.”

She nodded, “That’s right! We’ve long past the age of being willful. People can’t continue to stay the same as they were at the beginning. Just like you, you no longer pull out your whip to whip people without any thought. I also can’t continue to deal with people in the same way as back in the Feng manor. I’ve grown up and need to use mature methods to take care of things and resolve the root of the problem, rather than just kill the problem with a swing of a club. It looks like it would be a more uncomfortable life than before, but this is the price of growing up. Moreover, Da Shun is a country, not a residence. One misstep would harm countless innocent people. I could have killed old eighth directly, but how would that be any different from what a bandit does?”

“Good.” Xuan Tianming said: “Do everything to turn the situation around. I will just protect you through this dangerous situation.” After saying this, he looked at Xuan Tianhua and smiled, “Seventh brother, look. Our little girl has quite the lofty ambition!”

The three ended up drinking six kettles of wine, and it was such that Xuan Tianhua even felt a little tipsy; however, he did not spend the night in the Yu Palace. After all, Imperial Concubine Yun was in the Chun Palace, and he would not feel at ease with leaving her alone.

The next day, Xuan Tianming went to attend morning court as usual. After Feng Yuheng got out of bed, Huang Quan happily ran in and told her: “Young miss, we’ve received word from the hidden guards in Xiao Zhou. Young master Zirui and the Yao family’s third madam are already on their way back. There will be roughly two days until they reach the capital.” When Zirui was brought up, Huang Quan became quite cheery, “Young master is currently at the age where his body is growing. It’s been half a year since we last saw him. He should have grown quite a bit.”
