Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Don’t Forget About the Gift to Suppress This Imperial Daughter’s Shock

The eighth prince, Xuan Tian Mo, had not returned to the capital for a few years. Upon returning, he was hit, yet it was the commoners that hit him.

But he knew that he could not strike back at this time. Because of Feng Yu Heng closing Hundred Herb Hall, they had been angered. If he was to take action against the commoners at this time, it might cause a bigger commotion. That was not a matter that he could easily resolve.

He sat on the horse and dodged back and forth; however, there were too many commoners. The things that they threw were also quite varied. There were even old ladies that removed their foot-binding cloth. The guard had already been reduced to holding his head while cowering on the ground. He hastily leaped off of his horse and tried to hide behind the horse; however, the horse was frightened by the people and raised its legs, nearly trampling him to death.

Xuan Tian Mo nearly coughed up blood. Looking over, he saw that Feng Yu Heng’s group had already stood up. They were standing to the side and were not too far away; however, they were completely fine. The things thrown by the commoners had not touched them in the slightest. Xuan Tian Mo was frustrated and simply stood at Feng Yu Heng’s side. It just so happened that a head of lettuce that had been thrown also made its way over. Xuan Tian Mo took a look then subconsciously dodged behind Feng Yu Heng. At this time, Feng Yu Heng just happened to see Xu Jing Yuan rushing over from the other side of the street. She smirked and did not dodge, allowing the lettuce to smack her in the face.

When Xu Jing Yuan arrived, he just happened to see the eighth prince dodge behind Feng Yu Heng, as a head of lettuce hit Feng Yu Heng’s head and scattered her hair. Her jade hairpin broke, and she had a very sorry appearance.

At this time, a commoner loudly shouted: “How come His Highness the eighth prince isn’t even as good as a guard? The guard at least knows to endure it himself; however, you went to hide behind a girl. Could it be that the eighth prince of Da Shun only has this bit of courage? Only has this bit of tolerance?”

“That’s right! Hiding behind a girl, this sort of person really is worthless!”

“Right! Worthless! Worthless! Worthless!”

These repeated loud shouts caused Feng Yu Heng to nearly end up with an internal injury from holding back her laughter. Xuan Tian Mo also nearly ended up with an internal injury from the anger. Standing behind Feng Yu Heng, he coldly said: “Is this younger sister’s method?”

Feng Yu Heng covered her mouth and smiled: “Good match, good match!”

“Hmph!” Xuan Tian Mo walked out from behind her then looked toward Xu Jing Yuan and asked with a cold tone: “Governor, you really came at a good time.”

Xu Jing Yuan bowed in salute: “Preserving the peace of the capital is this official’s responsibility. Naturally, I need to make an appearance when it’s required.”

Xuan Tian Mo really wanted to ask: Then why did you not come out when these commoners were causing a commotion? But when he looked toward the commoners, there were at least a few hundred and upwards of a thousand. If they were all treated as ruffians, the prison would not be able to hold all of them!

He was feeling dejected, but he very quickly made a decision. Xuan Tian Mo understood very well that he had to obtain the hearts of the commoners first to obtain this world. Even if he could not obtain their hearts for quite some time, at the very least, he could not lose them too much. If he continued to grit his teeth and try to save face here and preserve his prestige as a prince, he would be offending nearly a thousand commoners. He could not take this risk.

Suppressing his anger, he took a couple steps forward then turned around and bowed to Feng Yu Heng, saying: “No matter what is said, today’s matter was indeed this prince bumping into imperial daughter. This prince wanted to apologize earlier and had come over to this side for that matter; however, who knew that a guard that was just brought into the palace would be lacking in common sense and say something that should not be said. Younger sister is a great and magnanimous person, so don’t argue with eighth brother too much! Eighth brother is apologizing to you and will definitely send a gift to suppress your shock to your manor. Would younger sister please be magnanimous about today’s matter and not dispute it with eighth brother!”

He started at first with this prince to lower himself from his position as a prince. He then used younger sister and eighth brother in order to express closeness to help the matter succeed. This Xuan Tian Mo had put in quite a bit of thought. Feng Yu Heng wondered. For the eighth prince to be able to do this much, it really was not easy. It had to be known that he was a prince. To suffer such a great grievance, even having been hit with an egg, he was still able to do this. He could truly be considered a talent. And she could not refuse to let it go with him speaking in this way. That would make it her acting improperly.

Thus Feng Yu Heng smiled and returned the salute to Xuan Tian Mo before saying: “Eighth brother is exaggerating. Today’s matter was A-Heng’s mistake. It was A-Heng that was not paying attention while walking and bumped into eighth brother. The citizens were also a little rash. After all, A-Heng is just a girl. Perhaps it was because of this that they acted like this. A-Heng thinks that based on eighth brother’s tolerance, you won’t make a fuss with the citizens, right?”

These words placed Xuan Tian Mo on a pedestal. If he wanted to cause trouble for these citizens, it was no longer possible.

Xuan Tian Mo smiled bitterly and nodded, only saying: “That’s only natural. That’s only natural.” He then turned to say to the governor: “Today’s matter was this prince’s mistake. Lord Xu, if there is a question of responsibility, this prince wishes to bear the burden of that responsibility and ask that Lord Xu not cause trouble for the citizens.”

Xu Jing Yuan nodded, “Many thanks Your Highness for showing sympathy. This official was thinking that if Your Highness insisted on pressing charges, there would not be enough space for all of these people in the prison. Since Your Highness is so tolerant, then…” He turned and said to the citizens: “Everyone, quickly disperse! Disperse!”

The citizens let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing these words. It had to be known that regardless of the reason, hitting a prince in the streets carried a death sentence! They had also been blinded by anger, and they had also been wanting to vent that anger toward the guard. Later on, who knows who took the lead and went to hit the eighth prince. The people were thinking that either way, there were many people. They would take advantage of this chaos to have some fun. It was only after the governor arrived that they began to know fear. They had been worried that they would be accused, and they were now able to feel at ease.

Xu Jing Yuan watched the citizens let out a sigh of relief. He thought quickly then added: “Imperial Daughter Ji An just pleaded for forgiveness for you with His Highness the eighth prince to not make a fuss with you. Why have you not given your thanks to imperial daughter?!”

The people had also heard what Feng Yu Heng had said, thus they all kneeled to thank Feng Yu Heng, which made Xuan Tian Mo’s expression alternate between red and white in anger. It was clearly him that was not causing a fuss with them. How did it end up becoming Feng Yu Heng’s work?

The commotion had finally come to its conclusion. Seeing the citizens depart, Xuan Tian Mo did not want to continue remaining. Taking a look at the guard that was laying on the ground, he simply said to Xu Jing Yuan: “This person was the first to insult imperial daughter, and he used a sword to point at imperial daughter’s maidservant. That was not this prince’s instruction. It was his own idea. This prince does not need this sort of subordinate. You can take him away. Whether he’s beaten, punished or killed, there’s no need to report to this prince.” After saying this, he got on his horse and left in the direction of the Sheng Palace.

However, he heard Feng Yu Heng shout from behind: “This imperial daughter will be leaving the capital on the 14th. Eighth brother must not forget about the promised gift to suppress my shock.”

Xuan Tian Mo angrily shook his head, which also splattered around the egg.

With this situation, the things could no longer be bought. Feng Yu Heng happily brought Xiang Rong back to her manor and arranged for the chef to prepare 20 braised pork shoulders for the next day. She would be bringing them on the trip.

On the 13th of the first month, Feng Yu Heng brought Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, along with Ban Zou, toward the military camp. Arriving at the camp, they quickly met up with Xuan Tian Ming. Without saying a single word, the two entered an empty tent that Xuan Tian Ming had prepared, and they began to pull things out of the space.

Guns were given to the Divine Intent Army first. She was preparing to leave another set of grenades and landmines. She would also be leaving a portion of the stolen gold and silver to have Xuan Tian Ming bring it with the army. There was a limit to her space. It was able to fit all of the things that had been stolen, but because the storage in the imperial daughter’s manor already had a large number of things stored from before, if she wanted to take it all away, it was a bit difficult. She left a bit to Yao Xian and placed some in the Chun Palace; however, she still wanted Xuan Tian Ming to take away ten chests.

Xuan Tian Ming watched his wife bring chest after chest of gold and silver, and his heart felt a chill! This damn girl, even a deity that descended to the world would not be like this, right? This ability was almost miraculous. But thinking about the people from the eighth prince’s faction losing all of this money in a single night was indeed quite entertaining.

Aside from this, Feng Yu Heng also left a large amount of medicine. The majority of it was Western medicine. It was convenient to transport, and it was quick to take effect, and they did not need to take as much. It was unlike Chinese medicine. Even if it was a prepared prescription of Chinese medicine, it would be ten courses of six to eight pills, and they would need to take it three times each day. Like this, the required amount was great, and it would take up a large amount of space. Moreover, over the course of a march from the capital to the South, it was inevitable that there would be minor illnesses. The army could not delay its movements because a few of its soldiers fell ill. That was why they needed quick-acting medicine, and Western medicine was most suitable.

She left behind quite a bit of cold and fever medicine, as well as anti-inflammatory medicine and diarrhea medicine. These were all things that needed to be brought along when setting out. Also, the South would be hot, as it was close to a desert. There were no Winters. There would be many bugs, and this would require some things to deal with bugs. She pulled out some sprays that would deal with this aspect and left them all inside the empty tent for Xuan Tian Ming to sort on his own.

When she finally finished taking out the things that had been prepared, Feng Yu Heng let out a long sigh and told Xuan Tian Ming: “I will be leaving tomorrow. There’s no need to send me off. I will be leaving early in the morning.”

Xuan Tian Ming, however, shook his head and said: “No, I will send you off. Don’t rush. I need to attend court tomorrow morning. Wait until court has been dismissed and for me to come to you before leaving. I will only feel at ease if I send you a certain distance.”

She wanted to say that there was no need, but after thinking a bit, he was her future husband. At this sort of time, he should be sending her. If he did not, perhaps someone with their own thoughts would make use of that to say something. Thus she did not argue and only nodded, saying: “Alright, then I will pack up everything that needs to be packed up. There are also the people from Hundred Herb Hall that will be coming with me. They will also need to be part of the procession of carriages. Fortunately, I don’t need a carriage to carry this wealth. Also, the things that are not convenient to transport will be placed inside my space. It’s very convenient.”

Xuan Tian Ming, however, was still uneasy. Thinking for a while, he simply said: “How about I just send you all the way to the fief. After arriving, I will ride back on a fast horse. It won’t take many days.”

“That must not be done.” Feng Yu Heng refused very resolutely, “It will take me around half a month on the road to get there. I fear that the start of the war will have begun during that time. You still need to focus on the country’s matters first. As for me, you should know that no matter what sort of situation I come across, I at least have a place that I can hide. No matter what the situation, I will not get hurt.”

Of course, Xuan Tian Ming knew that she had this space, thus he could only nod. After a long time, however, he quietly said: “In truth, I just wanted to be with you a bit longer. When you get to your fief, you will be busy for a while. We will not be able to meet very quickly.”

She dove into his embrace, “There will be plenty of time in the future. There will be a day when there is peace in the world. As for you, promise me that you will take care of yourself on the battlefield. You have that many officers. There’s no need to rush forward yourself. As a general, giving orders is what you should do.”

Xuan Tian Ming laughed. He had fought in wars for many years. Could it be that he needed a little girl to teach him what to do? Reaching out, he pinched the girl’s nose and wanted to curse at her a bit for fun. At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the tent. Very quickly, someone stopped in front of the tent and urgently said: “Princess! Quickly come to the back of the mountain to take a look! Something has happened over there!”
