Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Unexpectedly, It’s Him

Twenty days later, the capital was in sight .

Feng Yu Heng finally relaxed . Lands controlled by the Imperial family would be much safer .

The carriage stopped outside the gates of the capital . Yao shi pushed open the curtain and looked outside, letting out a sound of lament .

Feng Yu Heng brushed some dust off her body and went to console her . “Mother, don’t worry . We will be arriving at the Feng manor shortly . We must tell venerable father about what happened with the driver . Let father help us find those responsible . ”

Feng Zi Rui balled up his hands in to little fists: “Father will definitely severely punish the bad guys!”

Granny Sun nodded her head, “Since such a servant was sent from the manor, the master will definitely investigate thoroughly . ”

Yao shi, however, waved her hand, “We can’t do that . We just got back, so we shouldn’t cause trouble for your father . For us to be able to return safely to the manor is already considered good fortune . As for the driver… we’ll say he fell and died along the way . The rest should remain unmentioned . ”

“If the driver was truly a burglar, then we are very fortunate . I worry that one that cannot tolerate us is the driver’s master . ” Feng Yu Heng’s words caused Yao shi and granny Sun to furrow their brows .

In reality, everyone had considered the possibilities, but only Feng Yu Heng spoke when she wanted . Granny Sun, as a servant, was filled with joy that her family’s miss would be able to live better lives . Though Yao shi did not have high hopes for the Feng manor, yet she hoped that their future would be safe and secure . The matter regarding the driver was a thorn in their side . To avoid trouble, they did not bring it up further . They would need to deceive themselves first, if they wanted deceive the enemy .

“Mother, remember that there will be times when you’ve endured enough that you can’t remain calm and collected . Retreating might not always lead to sunnier skies . ” Feng Yu Heng regretted that Yao shi’s temperament must change, but she knew that she could not rush it .

Currently… she raised her eyes and looked along the public road . All she saw was a group of people raising a commotion . They had come along the same path . In the midst of the commoners, was a party that slowly made its way towards the city gates .

There was definitely a reason for the commoners to have gathered . Feng Yu Heng’s carriage quickly became stuck in the group of people . From inside the city, the sound of a horn announcing victory sounded . Another large group of people departed the city along this path . When the two groups collided, the road cleared as people moved to the sides of the road .

There were some who carried flower baskets, some that carried food, some that carried drinking cups, and some that carried children who held tears in their eyes .

There were also some that knelt and kowtowed towards the procession .

Feng Yu Heng looked towards the procession, but the view from the back was blocked . A flowery carriage became the center of a protective formation . The carriage was surrounded on all sides by a navy blue screen . Four officers stationed themselves at the corners of the carriage, then escorted it with solemn faces .

The commoners continued to kowtow towards the carriage . She heard countless people say: “The ninth prince has returned victorious from the war . To have done it two years faster than was ordered by the Emperor, he is truly our god of war!”

“Ninth prince your highness!”

Everyone in the area knelt in unison . Feng Yu Heng’s carriage suddenly stuck out .

But not a single person paid them any heed . The ninth prince had returned victorious, so the people were busy singing his praises and celebrating . There were countless people who offered wine to the passing officers .

Yet not a single officer accepted .

The common people were accustomed to this . They knew that the military regulations were particularly strict . Feng Yu Heng found that, throughout this mighty procession, no signs of celebration could be found . Even the faces of the vanguard were murky .

However, the ninth prince had won the war . That much was fact . She had confirmed it many times along the way . All the inns were buzzing with this news . The good news was plastered everywhere .

This happy event did not look very happy . There must be a reason for it .

She looked again towards the carriage, this time her eyes inspected it even more carefully . A lucky coincidence occurred . A breeze blew slightly blew the curtain away from the window, as the carriage was passing by .

Inside, there was a face adorned with a golden mask that covered from the forehead to below the nose . Between the eyebrows, a slight gap allowed a faint hint of purple to be seen .

Feng Yu Heng subconsciously stood up on her carriage . She stared fixedly at the window, as the wind would blow the curtain open, then let it fall back closed . Again and again, the wind continued . Her hand held her belly, her breathing no longer calm .

The three in the carriage also came out . Seeing her like this, they thought it was a normal reaction and did not inquire further . But when Feng Yu Heng had seen the sliver of purple, her heart became tumultuous .

It was him!
