Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 1122

You Are The Only One In My Heart

Imperial Concubine Yun did not have any reason to reject Xuan Tianhua’s suggestion, in addition, there did not seem to be any flaws in this suggestion, her son was worried for her safety and wanted her other son to send her to Ji An Prefecture, this was a very normal thing to do. Moreover, there will arrangements made for military matters on this side, with Xuan Tianhua helping to inspect the troops, no one had to worry at all.

Imperial Concubine Yun thought, this matter was arranged rather well! With Xuan Tianming going, Feng Yuheng would definitely come along. With this, the two sisters would be able to chat on the way, taking care of each other, saving Xiangrong the trouble of feeling rather restricted when facing her alone. With everyone together, it was very good. Therefore, she nodded in agreement, saying: “Then it will be done like you said! I will talk to Ming-er about it. A proposal is also an important matter, it will appear grander with more people going over.” After saying this, she even scratched her head with some embarrassment, “I have not left the imperial palace for many years and had never handled this kind of event before. Even when Ming-er and Ah-Heng were engaged, I did not follow and manage things, really wanting me to go alone to propose a marriage, I am really worried that I cannot settle it.”

With her speaking like this, the atmosphere became relaxed and Xuan Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, chiming in again: “I heard that Madam An does not really approve of Xiangrong marrying someone from the imperial family, so I was thinking with Ming-er and Ah-Heng going, Ah-Heng will be able to help convince her.”

This topic caused mother and son to chat for a long time, until Xuan Tianhua confirmed that Imperial Concubine Yun also wished for Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng to come along from the bottom of her heart, that was when he stopped this topic. Having Xuan Tianming move away from the capital was his final goal, and as for whether he could lead the huge army to the eastern border before Xuan Tianming caught up, that would have to depend on his abilities. In addition, Old Fourth also had to cooperate.

Replacing Xuan Tianming to fight the battle with Zong Sui, that was the decision he made after carrying out the divination, and under Imperial Concubine Yun’s request, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng also agreed to this suggestion.

The day to set off to Ji An Prefecture was decided as three days later, and the night before they left, Xuan Tianming held his wife in his arms, frowning deeply. His heart kept having the feeling that something was not right, he kept harbouring a vague sense of worry about this trip to Ji An Prefecture, but he did not know where this worry came from. Did it come from the capital, or did it come from this journey to the fiefdom which would start soon?

With Feng Yuheng being this intelligent, she could naturally sense the mental fluctuations in her husband’s heart, she turned sideways, searching for a comfortable position to nestle in his embrace, then asked softly: “You are worried about Seventh Brother?”

Feng Yuheng pointed out the crux of what Xuan Tianming could not understand with one sentence. His eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, replying: “My heart is feeling worried, but I do not know if I was worried about Ji An Prefecture or if I was worried about leaving the capital at this kind of timing. I did not understand, but what you said enlightened me. Thinking about this, it is true that Seventh Brother is acting strange, even though asking us husband and wife to deliver the dowry in his place is a reasonable suggestion, but thinking back now, that is not Seventh Brother’s usual behaviour. Since when was he the type of person to worry about this kind of thing? I do not oppose this marriage, but the facts are laid out there, Imperial Concubine Mother is enthusiastic but Seventh Brother is not that serious about it.”

“But Seventh Brother made this suggestion, why is that?” With regards to this matter, Feng Yuheng could not figure it out too. After thinking for a long time, she still said: “We are just taking a trip to the fief, we will move more quickly and it should not take too much time. You and I might just be overthinking things, actually Seventh Brother treats Xiangrong rather well, just look at how anxious Seventh Brother was when Xiangrong went missing? Even if there are not much feelings, there is still some comradeship.”

Xuan Tianming nodded, “Forget it, Seventh Brother has never asked me to do anything, only this, and it’s even this important event in one’s life, no matter what, I have to settle it for him properly. I heard that Madam An isn’t that happy about this marriage. At that time, you will need to help put in a good word.”

“That is because Madam An loves her daughter.” Feng Yuheng said, “Any mother who truly loves her daughter would be able to show this attitude, not losing their rational mind from happiness just because the other part is a prince, only thinking about the rapid rise in status. She will think about her daughter from a mother’s point of view, thinking if her daughter will be fortunate and happy in the future.” She raised her head slightly and looked towards Xuan Tianming, and half a beat later, she finally said: “Do you know, if I had a choice, I would also wish for the person I marry to be a wanderer, either wandering the world together with me or finding a place with green hills and clear waters to settle down peacefully. As long as the world is stable and the days are quiet.”

“What? You regret marrying me?” Xuan Tianming raised an eyebrow, tightening his embrace of the young girl in his arms, even though he was still smiling and knew that Feng Yuheng was only being emotional at the moment, he was unable to hide the tenseness in his demeanour, afraid that his wife would run away.

Feng Yuheng immediately laughed because of his antics, her eyes squinting and her laughing expression resembling a flower, she teased her husband in front of her: “I am really regretting it!”

Someone’s domineering behaviour rose up: “It’s too late for regrets! You belong to This Prince!” After saying this, he flipped over and positioned this young lady under him, smiling sinisterly, yet it also contained limitless pampering: “So what if I am a prince? As long as my Heng Heng wants to live leisurely, This Prince will accompany you in living that leisurely life. This world is not even as good as a ten thousandth of my Heng Heng, you are, the only one in my heart......”

A warm breath lunged towards her, Feng Yuheng grinned, but dodged it. Xuan Tianming glared, “You really meant it?”

“No.” Feng Yuheng shook her head and said: “It’s just that I have something to discuss with you.”

“What is it? What matter must be said now?” He was very unhappy, “We are heading to Ji An Prefecture tomorrow, the journey is long, we can just talk about it in the carriage and it will help to pass the time.”

“Imperial Concubine Mother and Xiangrong are in the carriage, do you think it is a good time to talk about things?” Feng Yuheng struggled and sat up, looking into her husband’s eyes, saying seriously: “Xuan Tianming, I want to go to the battlefield as well. Can you bring me along when fighting Zong Sui?”

“You do not trust your husband?” Xuan Tianming could not help but laugh, “It is only a battle, and it is not the first time, in addition, we have the Heavenly Thunder and guns in our hands, what are you worried about?”

Feng Yuheng held his hand, “It’s not that I do not trust you, I just don’t want to be separated from you. Xuan Tianming, think about it, we were engaged when we were young and I was married once I reached adult age, but how many days have we truly spent time with each other? We spend more time apart than together, you are busy with the matters of the court and military, I was stuck in the battles in the Feng family and could not free myself easily. Currently, the situation is unstable and my heart is always nervous, worried that when you go to Zong Sui......” She immediately shut her mouth at this point, even reaching up and slapping her mouth twice, “Poo poo poo, what am I saying?”

Xuan Tianming could not help but laugh, but there was bitterness in his laugh. How could he not understand the feelings of this girl? All women need a sense of safety, even for someone as strong as his Heng Heng, she also hoped that her own man could be at her side frequently. But he was helpless about this, he was Da Shun’s prince, and many things were out of his control...... “This is the last time, really the last time. Heng Heng, trust me, after settling the threat of Zong Sui, we will leave, I will bring you to a good place. You can do whatever you want there, and no other matters will bother you, isn’t that good?”

“You’re still unwilling to take me along.” She picked up the meaning in Xuan Tianming’s words, no longer fighting for it, she knew that if a man kept bringing his wife to the battlefield, others would criticise him. Even in the outside world now, there were a lot of people spreading such comments, saying that even though the Ninth Prince was a battle god, during the past few years, half of the military achievements belonged to Princess Ji An. Without Princess Ji An’s assistance, the glory of the battle god will have to be discounted. Therefore, she could not fight for it anymore, Xuan Tianming possessed his own pride, she was a woman and could not show her face in public too much. It was just that...... “Is it really the last time?” She had a worried expression, “Will Gu Mo also carry out unusual actions after two years and you have to return to the battlefield again?”

Xuan Tianming really laughed out loud this time, reaching out to stroke his wife’s hair, telling her seriously: “Do not worry, unusual actions can appear anywhere, only Gu Mo will not.”

“Why?” Feng Yuheng was curious, thinking again and saying: “Because your troops are guarding the western border, so you are not worried?”

Xuan Tianming only smiled mysteriously in response to the question, not answering it.

She did not ask anymore, thinking that she guessed correctly. At that time, Xuan Tianming fought to the northwest, the two of them meeting, that battle had gone on for two whole years, the western border should have been settled long ago.

“Stay in the capital!” Xuan Tianming spoke again, pulling the topic back, “I am heading to the eastern border to battle, yet I am worried about the capital, thinking that something will still happen in the capital. We cannot expect anything from the Old Man like this, Sixth Brother is not skilled in battle, Seventh Brother cannot do everything on his own and I took away too many soldiers. Only with you staying in the capital will I feel reassured when I am at the eastern border.”

Feng Yuheng looked at him, saying seriously: “Who said the Ninth Prince is the most capricious? Who said that the Ninth Prince is unpredictable? Only I know, you are the one who considers things most thoroughly. Xuan Tianming, I agree to protect Da Shun for your sake, you also have to agree to return safely. Zong Sui has a dense population and it’s not suitable for using Heavenly Thunder and guns, but if your safety is involved, who cares if they are civilians or not, just blow them up! Flattening Zong Sui and coming back quickly is the most important thing.”

When she said this, her small nose was scrunched up, both her intelligent large eyes were also wide open, and she gritted her teeth, as if she was already battle-ready.

Xuan Tianming asked her in response: “As a doctor with a caring heart, with so many innocent citizens, you can bear it?”

Feng Yuheng lowered her head, mumbling: “But I cannot bear to lose you more. Xuan Tianming, when everything is peaceful, let’s leave! I will bear a child for you, we will live a good life and no longer care about these things, isn’t that good?”

Xuan Tianming oppressed her again, using actual actions to tell her: “Alright!”

Spring blossomed in the room, lingering the middle of the night, causing a ripple through the night. Feng Yuheng thought, marrying to the man she loved now, so what if he was a prince? Even if he ascended the throne one day, she would also accompany him in ruling over the people.
