Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 933 - Do You Want to Come and Live in my World

Do You Want to Come and Live in my World

Not to mention whether or not Lu Song could have found a way in with Ren Xi Tao, but Lu Song going to Hundred Herb Hall to seek treatment was something that acted as a reminder to Feng Yu Heng.

Since she had opened a medical clinic, it was impossible to prevent all kinds of people from coming to seek treatment. Of course, this would include people of the eighth prince’s faction. The more she thought about it, the more she felt a need to remind Yao An, thus she quickly said to Wang Chuan: “After we get back, immediately write up a list of all the officials in the capital that we know are part of the eighth prince’s faction. Send it to Hundred Herb Hall and give it to my fourth cousin. The Yao family has suffered once, and we cannot allow that tragedy to unfold once more.” After thinking a bit more, she felt that it was not reliable, thus she changed her mind, “Forget it. Don’t go. Wait until I draft up a medical agreement. In the future, normal examinations and fetching medicine at Hundred Herb Hall will be the same, but when it comes to surgeries, they will need to sign surgical agreements. Whether they live or die, it will be unrelated to Hundred Herb Hall.”

Before Wang Chuan could even respond to the first order, Feng Yu Heng had already changed her mind, but there were benefits to signing an agreement. She immediately thought of the reason that the Yao family had been sent to Huang Zhou. Although it was a result of the Emperor trying to protect the Yao family, an imperial concubine had indeed died from treatment. In the end, that matter had been part of the third prince’s, Xuan Tian Ye’s, plans. Fortunately, the Emperor acted in a timely manner and sent them to Huang Zhou to resolve the matter.

When she returned home, Xuan Tian Ming had already returned. He was presently wandering around between the front yard and backyard. Lady Zhou was following along behind him and repeatedly advising: “Princess went to Hundred Herb Hall, which is to say that it was for official business. Your Highness must not get mad at Princess for this. Haven’t you said before that our princess is different from other girls and we cannot keep her locked up inside the large residence the entire time? She still needs to run Hundred Herb Hall, and she needs to worry about a number of things. She is a magnanimous person and cannot be tripped up by the matters of the palace.”

“Lady Zhou.” Xuan Tian Ming stopped and looked at the elderly woman behind him, saying very helplessly: “This prince is just strolling around the residence. Why is it that you’re thinking about so much? Where is all of this coming from?”

Lady Zhou clicked her tongue a couple times, “Your Highness, don’t deliberately try and hide it. Ever since you returned to the palace, you have not remained silent this entire time. You’ve gone back and forth between the front yard and the backyard so much that we’ve lost count. In the past, you’ve never been like this. After returning to the palace, you would go and sit in your study, and it would often be the case that you would not come out for the entire day.”

Xuan Tian Ming rubbed his nose. Was this the case? Were his emotions expressed so clearly? But... “When exactly will that girl be coming back?” In the end, he still got angry, “Going to Hundred Herb Hall can’t take an entire day, right?”

These words happened to have been clearly heard by the returning Feng Yu Heng, and she understood: “What do you mean I was gone for an entire day? I haven’t even eaten lunch, yet you call it an entire day?”

Xuan Tian Ming heard this and immediately smiled. His wife had returned! Filled with joy, he walked over to receive her. Without worrying whether or not the people of the palace were watching, he grabbed Feng Yu Heng’s sleeve and began to lead her toward the inner courtyards. While walking, he said: “This prince also has not eaten. This is perfect. Let’s eat together.”

All of the servants in the Yu Palace knew that the two were a couple that was deeply in love, especially their prince. Ever since the princess had married into the palace, it was truly as though he had completely changed. Although he still had a dark expression for most days, there were also days when he would let loose like today. It was no longer something surprising. They would take a look whenever there was something interesting before returning to their work. They would not ask about it, nor would they discuss it. This was a rule that had been in the Yu Palace for many years.

As for Lady Zhou, watching the two cause a loving commotion allowed her to feel relieved and begin to smile. She had taken care of His Highness the ninth prince since he was a young child. Now, she could finally go into the palace and tell Imperial Concubine Yun about it! His Highness the ninth prince had Imperial Daughter Ji An at his side. This really was a perfect marriage made in heaven.

Feng Yu Heng was brought back in a complete daze, as people very quickly brought food out.

Wang Chuan and Huang Quan automatically went to stand at the door, expressing that starting from this moment, it was His Highness Prince Yu’s personal time with the princess. Nobody could disturb them. As for how it would be personal, the two had a clear understanding. They even very secretly shared a smile. Huang Quan even quietly said to Wang Chuan: “How about we have a bet. Within a month, our young miss will definitely get pregnant.”

She thought that she had kept her voice very quiet, but she had underestimated the hearing of the two inside. Feng Yu Heng heard these words, and a look of discomfort appeared on her face, as she shot a fierce glare at Xuan Tian Ming. Xuan Tian Ming, however, began to smile gleefully. He then pondered to himself: “She definitely can get pregnant. How about we also make a bet?”

Feng Yu Heng had no intention of betting on this matter with him. She knew that continuing on like this could definitely result in a pregnancy. But if this was speaking about the ancient world, whether or not one got pregnant depended on what the man said, but she was the exception. Whether or not she wanted children and when to have children, it all depended on herself. For example, at present, there was no need for words to describe the feelings between her and Xuan Tian Ming, but Da Shun’s situation was unstable. There were too many people watching the situation like predators. She did not want to add a burden at a time like this; moreover, even if she was a divine doctor, she needed to constantly be vigilant; however, there would always be points that could be neglected. In this case, where she could not be fully certain that she could protect her children, she did not want to welcome a young life in so quickly.

Seeing her not respond for a long time, Xuan Tian Ming could not help but ask: “What is it?”

She thought for a bit, but she ended up not voicing her thoughts. Xuan Tian Ming was stunned, as anger immediately flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down. A silence fell over the room, as both began thinking. It was only after a long period of time that the two opened their mouths at the same time and said the same thing: “How about the matter of the child is delayed for a bit?”

Xuan Tian Ming stepped forward and pulled his young wife into his embrace, helplessly apologizing: “It was all my fault for not providing you with enough support and making it so that you’re afraid to even have a child.” Seeing Feng Yu Heng shake her head, he continued: “It was indeed like this. Your analysis is very accurate. Right now, for the opposition, we do not have many shortcomings. Even if the enemy wanted to take action, it would be very hard to find an opportunity. Even Ji An Prefecture has so many hidden guards arranged to protect it. But once we have a child, once your body begins to grow out, the shortcoming will become very clear. That child would also have our blood. Aside from the two of us, it would be the most important person. I can’t allow my child to be put in any danger. That’s why what you said is right. Let’s delay it!”

What else could Feng Yu Heng say? Not wanting a child was something that she had brought up, but now that Xuan Tian Ming had agreed, she felt a bit disappointed. Thinking about it, women really were unreasonable. When they have an idea, if the man disagrees, the woman will get angry. If the man agrees, they would feel disappointed. There was nothing that she could do. It seemed that there were no women who could act differently. She even felt an urge to ask Xuan Tian Ming: Since you know that you are not able to provide enough support, why do you not put in some more effort to get stronger?

But saying this sort of thing would make her sound like a shrew. She was not Feng Fen Dai, and she was not so unreasonable. She just quietly yearned for this battle to quickly pass; however, she also felt that this disturbance could only pass with the coronation of the new emperor. The Emperor had treated her quite well, and she was unwilling to curse this old ruler.

“Xuan Tian Ming, have you ever thought of changing your way of life?” She tilted her head and asked him, “For example, changing where you live?”

He was puzzled, “Where would we go?”

She said: “To a world that is completely different from this one. The difference in social ranking is not as it is here. The people live more freely. Regardless of whether they are men or women, all are equal. Everyone needs to work to make money. Everyone needs to take care of raising their families. Although there are occasionally battles, they usually do not need us to put in so much effort. There are also the things in my space. Those are common items in that world. Life would be far more convenient than it is now. Do you like that sort of life?”

He shook his head, “You promised me that you would not go back.”

“I did not say that I wanted to go back. I just asked if you liked that place. Or to say it in a different way, if we could go back together, would you want to?”

He thought for a bit then nodded, “I do. As long as it’s together with you, I would want to go anywhere with you, but...” He sighed and pulled the girl to his side, “But there are many things that can’t be accomplished just because you want them. I feel responsible, and I have a burden on my shoulders. It’s impossible for me to put them down and leave, nor is it very likely that I could travel freely after those things have been completed. Heng Heng, I was born a prince. This is a fate that I cannot change. Will you blame me for this?”

She laughed, “What would I blame you for? Your birthright is not something that you can decide. Also, you’ve done quite a good job as a prince. Da Shun has you, which allows Father Emperor to feel at ease. It also allows the citizens to feel at ease. At worst, I will just keep you company. Either way, I will be wherever you are, and...” She also fell silent for a long while before continuing, “And the thing about going to that world, I was just speaking about it casually. I’ve come, which means I can’t go back. Even if you said yes today, I would not know how to bring you back. When I came, I only bought a one-way ticket. To try and go back is not quite possible. That’s why fate has determined that you and I can only be here.”

She faintly sighed. She just missed her family a bit. She missed her good friends from that era. The Feng family must have gone crazy upon learning of her death, right? Would they seek revenge? Would this cause another mishap? She did not want her own death to put her family in danger, but the Feng family was united in harmony. How could they remain indifferent to her death?

In the other world, it was very possible that there was absolute carnage; however, she could not do much while hiding here. To say that she was not worried would be a lie.

She had always had her doubts. How exactly did that helicopter explode? Could it have been an accident? That was definitely impossible. In truth, how could there be so many accidents, and how could she have encountered so many accidents? The helicopter that she was riding in had definitely been through careful inspection, and it was the best helicopter. If even that could explode, aside from it being intended, she could not think of any other reason.

But if it was intended, who would do such a thing?

“What are you thinking about?” He lowered his head and asked her, “Could you speak about it with me?”

She smiled, “Even if I said it, you would not understand.”

“I understand even less if you don’t say anything.”

“But I don’t know where to start!” She told the truth, “Xuan Tian Ming, if there is time, if neither of us is busy, and if life can calm down, I want to tell you my entire story. When the time comes, it might be that even an entire month won’t be enough to finish the story. I’m just worried that you will get annoyed and won’t want to continue listening.”

“I won’t.” He pulled her closer, “As long as it’s related to you, I will not get annoyed with it no matter what. But madam, you already said it. Storytelling is a matter for the future, then right now, husband wants to eat meat. Can you cooperate with me?”

She pointed at the dishes of food on the table, “Isn’t the meat there? If you want to eat, just eat. What is it, are you waiting for me to help get you some?”

He was speechless, “Not that meat. What is there to eat with that? I just-”

Before he could even finish speaking, Wang Chuan’s voice came from outside the door at an inopportune moment. It was also a particularly annoying matter: “Your Highness, Princess, people have come from the imperial palace!”
