Chapter 1134
Please Do Not Reject Me Far Away Again After Death
Xuan Tianming and Bai Ze raced towards the eastern border, three days later, they grouped up with the hidden guard who was sent to the eastern border in advance to gather information about the situation, the hidden guard told him, “His Highness the Seventh Prince changed the route at the last minute, heading straight to Fu Province without following the original plan. This Subordinate met up with His Highness the Seventh Prince, His Highness the Seventh Prince only said that the original path was too slow and wanted to go through another shortcut. At the same time, His Highness the Seventh Prince also said, Bu Cong has appeared in our Da Shun’s capital and he hopes that Master can give up on the east and return to the capital to assist the Princess.”
Xuan Tianming listened to the words from the hidden guard, his brows furrowed tightly. Old Seventh changed the path, the reason was acceptable, but could not hold up under close scrutiny. Taking a shortcut? What shortcut is there, the path from the capital and eastern border had been traversed for many years, if there was a shortcut, it would have already been included in the plan for Da Shun’s army marching path. Not taking the most familiar path, taking the roundabout route, Xuan Tianming thought, that was not taking a shortcut, that was intentionally causing trouble to him when he tried to catch up to them, so it would not be so easy to do so.
As for in the capital, Bu Cong appeared in the capital, this was something beyond Xuan Tianming’s expectations. To be honest, he was very worried when he heard this piece of news. Bu Cong went missing for many years and appeared again, he would definitely carry out a series of revenges against Da Shun. Whether it was towards the Bu family or towards himself. And amongst the targets of his revenge, Feng Yuheng would be the first to bear the brunt of it.
“Master, should be continue to head west or return to the capital?” Bai Ze also did not have any ideas, Bu Cong arrived at Da Shun’s capital, what should be done if he targeted Feng Yuheng? Even though he felt that Feng Yuheng is a female deity, but everything had a risk, and this risk was something they could not bear.
Xuan Tianming did not answer, deep in thought as well. To continue heading east or return to the capital? Seventh Brother, ah Seventh Brother! You really gave me a difficult question.
Capital, Lian Manor.
Feng Zhaolian packed his luggage, currently asking his elite guard Yun Xiao: “Has the horse carriage been prepared? Is the carriage prepared to be more comfortable? Add a few more layers of blankets, the days of late winter is cold, especially at night, my small body and bones would not be able to withstand it.”
Yun Xiao nodded helplessly, replying: “The carriage has been prepared adequately, not only have extra layers of blankets been laid out, extra clothes and food in rather large amounts have been prepared for Master to bring along. It’s just that Master, must you go?”
Feng Zhaolian gave a glare: “Of course! Da Shun’s Seventh Prince had led the soldiers to war, if I do not go to bear the hardships with him, then how is it considered true feelings?”
“Master!’ Yun Xiao reminded with a raised eyebrow: “Da Shun’s Seventh Prince is already engaged to Feng family’s Third Miss.”
“So what?” Feng Zhaolian rolled his eyes in a feminine way, “It is only an engagement, they’re not married yet right? Moreover, so what if they are married? I would just become a concubine at most! Do not worry, your Master can deal with that kind of grievance.”
But Yun Xiao could not bear this grievance!
Yun Xiao gritted his teeth in anger, “Before His Elderly Highness passed away, his greatest wish was that your illness could receive the most effective treatment, but Master, it can already be treated, why are you giving it up? That Seventh Prince is a man, how can you go find a man……”
“Be quiet!” Feng Zhaolian waved his hand in irritation, “You say these words every day, even if you’re not sick of saying this, I am sick of hearing this. Alright, alright, I have already made up my mind, I have to make this journey to the eastern border. Yun Xiao, do you know? I have to go save His Highness the Seventh Prince! He’s not helping Xuan Tianming lead the soldiers for part of the journey, he is dying in Xuan Tianming’s place! I have a clear mind and I know everything, so I must go and save him. Quickly, drive the carriage to the manor door, we will leave now.”
“Husband! Where are you going?” The voice of Wu Lisheng was heard from behind.
Feng Zhaolian only felt troubled, he woke up very early today, planning to make a move when the sun had not risen, the purpose was to avoid Wu Lisheng. That woman was too troublesome, crazy and stupid, insisting on calling him husband, he was close to breaking down by her addressing him like that.
But he did not expect, he could take all the precautions and countermeasures, but they still failed in their defences.
Feng Zhaolian looked behind and saw that Wu Lisheng did not even did not even have time to put on her outerwear, running out in just her underclothes. The maid behind her was chasing after her in a job while holding the outer clothes, but she could not catch up with Wu Lisheng’s pace.
“Look, women are so troublesome! How are they better than men?” Feng Zhaolian rebuked Yun Xiao, “This crazy acting one, what kind of appearance is that?”
But Yun Xiao acknowledged Wu Lisheng greatly, even addressing her as Madman, he told Feng Zhaolian: “Madam is correct, these are the days which you should be spending. If you were more receptive to advice, then allow Princess Yu to cure your illness, then just like what His Elderly Highness wished, take Madam with you and live a peaceful life. Our manor does not lack in silver, you can spend it however you want, living as well as you want, why do you have to go to the muddy waters that is the Da Shun royalty?” The muddy waters of Qian Zhou were not enough for you? Yun Xiao wanted to say this to Feng Zhaolian, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he still swallowed it. For everything in Qian Zhou, they were considered a nightmare to Feng Zhaolian, if he mentioned it again, it would definitely be a stab to Feng Zhaolian’s heart.
“What muddy water?” Feng Zhaolian did not agree, even pointing at Wu Lisheng and saying unhappily: “You want me to marry this crazy woman?”
“I am not crazy!” Wu Lisheng finally stood in front of him, speaking: “Husband, you’re always saying that I am crazy, when am I crazy?”
“If you’re not crazy, then why are you addressing me as husband?” Feng Zhaolian was speechless, “Alright, don’t stop me, I must leave today, no one can stop me.”
“What are you going to do?” Wu Lisheng asked with a frown, then thinking for a while, she turned around and told her maid: “Quickly, go help me prepare my luggage, I am going with husband.”
“Why are you going?” Feng Zhaolian almost went crazy with anger, “Let me tell you this, Wu Lisheng, if you continue to be unable to listen to reason, I will send people to send you back to the northern border to look for your father. From today onwards, you will no longer be able to come to the capital and will not be able to see me. Think about it properly, do you want to be sent back to the northern border, or do you want to obediently wait for me to return in Lian manor?”
Wu Lisheng was stunned and her hand grabbing onto Feng Zhaolian’s sleeve loosened as she jolted. Feng Zhaolian took this chance to pull Yun Xiao and run, practically running out of Lian manor like he was escaping and sat on the horse carriage. Yun Xiao waved the whip and the horse carriage left, dust swirling behind it. When it travelled very far away, Feng Zhaolian then pulled open the curtain of the horse carriage to shout in Wu Lisheng’s direction: “Return to the northern border! There is no hope between us! I am going to look for Xuan Tianhua, I am going to look for Xuan Tianhua now! Hahahaha!”
At the manor’s gate, Wu Lisheng was still stunned, Feng Zhaolian’s laughter made her feel the chills without being cold. The maid next to her reminded her: “Young Miss, he has left, we should go back in! It is cold outside, we should not stay outside for too long.”
Finally returning to her senses, a bitter smile appeared on her face. She did not cause this girl too much trouble, she took the outerwear in the maid’s hands and put it on in a self-absorbed manner, then walked back obediently. It was just that the bitterness in her heart gradually started showing on her face, finally turning into tears, fighting their way outwards.
This man who she fell in love with just one look that many years ago! In order to love him, she did not care about being crazy, did not care about leaving her hometown, she only wanted to be at his side. Whether his illness could be cured or not, she would keep him company properly, as long as she could still be at his side for one day, she was happy.
But pretending to be crazy for all these years, she was still unable to keep that person in the end! Wu Lisheng wiped away the tears on her cheek, it was cold, just like this manor which no longer had Feng Zhaolian in it.
“Young Miss, Prince Lian went to chase after the Seventh Prince, do you think he would really stick to that Seventh Prince? If he really did that and does not return again, then what should we do?” The maid next to her thought about this and felt some headache, “In This Servant’s opinion, we should return to the northern border! There’s not much hope by continuing to stay here, that Prince Lian has strange thoughts which could not be understood, he can’t even tell if he is man or woman, why are you still hung up on him? It is better to return to Lord Wu and be a filial child, the Lord will make a decision for you and marry a good person, it would be much better than being here without name or status.”
The young maid was really trying to obtain justice for her, this maid who followed her from the northern border pitied her Young Miss, always advising her to return.
But Wu Lisheng told her determinedly: “Do not address me as Young Miss, address me as Madam! I am the wife of Feng Zhaolian, I am no longer the Young Miss from the Wu family.”
“But only that Seventh Prince exists in Prince Lian’s heart! He even went to the eastern border for the sake of the Seventh Prince, he……”
“Since when was he doing it for the Seventh Prince!” Wu Lisheng showed a troubled smile, clarity in her eyes, no longer showing any signs of craziness. “He is doing this because of that Duanmu Anguo, Have you not heard! Duanmu Anguo has mixed with the people of Zong Sui, he has searched for Duanmu Anguo for so long, obtaining this information now, how could he not go?”
“Duanmu Anguo?” For the people from the northern border, once Duanmu Anguo was mentioned, there would be a fear which could not be erased easily, it was the same case for this maid. They still remembered all the actions of Duanmu Anguo in the northern border, still feeling the chills when they thought about it now. That young maid sucked in a cold breath, saying in a trembling voice: “Prince Lian is looking for Duanmu Anguo to seek revenge? Then would he…… be in danger?”
Mourning appeared on Wu Lisheng’s face, she did not reply, it was just that she stopped walking, standing at the gate of the small courtyard, tears streaming down her face.
It was not just danger, she kept having the feeling that Feng Zhaolian would never return after leaving like this. His body which was neither masculine or feminine was caused by Duanmu Anguo, she knew, to Feng Zhaolian, killing Duanmu Anguo was his reason for living. During these days, Feng Zhaolian had never stopped investigating, to the point that in order to find out information about Duanmu Anguo, he even thought of everything to live in the imperial palace. With news of Duanmu Anguo now, how could he not go? He only used the excuse of the Seventh Prince so that his departure would not be that sad and dreary.
Wu Lisheng though, Feng Zhaolian not having any feelings for her was true, but interacting with each other over the years, he did feel some pity for her, else he would not have lied to her like this. Using the Seventh Prince as a shield, she would get angry and hate him, but she would not fall into despair and breakdown. But Prince Lian! You should know, during these years, I know very well in my heart, what are you going there to do, I know about it all!
Wu Lisheng stood under the tree like this, her tears flowing the whole morning, crying until her maid was alarmed, wanting to arrange for a physician to examine her. But she finally heard Wu Lisheng speak, saying: “There’s no need, I am fine. If you must leave the manor, then go find a coffin maker, ordered a high quality coffin , I am afraid that it would need to be used soon……”
Feng Zhaolian, if you cannot not return alive, I will carry the coffin to collect your body. We cannot overcome destiny while we’re alive, if only I can die with you, then you will never reject me thousands of miles away……
