Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 1105 There Is Someone Da Shun Is Very Concerned About

At the imperial hunting grounds, Feng Tianyu saved Li Kun and also heard something important from Li Kun: “There has been a change in Zong Sui’s imperial palace, the Second Prince Li Jian forced an abdication and ascended the throne, under the brutal rule, not only did he kill large numbers of those loyal ministers whom my Father Emperor left behind, he even had the intention to kill all of us princes. It is shameful to say this, my younger sister from the same parents betrayed me and actually took Li Jian’s side, having the intentions to kill me, her older brother from the same parents. The last time I attended court in Zong Sui, the new Emperor Li Jian was planning to no longer be the subordinate nation of Da Shun, planning to take up arms. I thought it was inappropriate and expressed my opposing opinion, causing him to exact wonton revenge on me. Helpless, I escaped Zong Sui, and with nowhere to go, thinking over and over again, I can only come to Da Shun and try my luck.”

Li Kun spoke in a helpless tone, “The brothers who followed me in escape all died on the way here, I also suffered heavy injuries. If I did not escape into the imperial hunting grounds, I would probably have been killed off by the pursuers.”

As Feng Tianyu listened to him speak, she gradually pondered and understood some things, she asked Li Kun: “The new Zong Sui soldiers chased you so ruthlessly is not just because you expressed your opposing opinion in court, right?” She was the daughter of the Right Prime Minister, the home education of the Right Prime Minister was not like the former Left Prime Minister, only focusing on sending their daughter to a prince’s side to gain more power and influence. The daughters of the Feng family were taught just like the sons, understanding literature and law, keeping calm when incidents arise, analysing was the first priority. Therefore, Feng Tianyu was able to think of a deeper reason from what Li Kun described.

That Li Kun did not hide anything, he told Feng Tianyu honestly: “He wants to kill me, the main reason is that he knew that when Father Emperor was alive, he had the intention to pass on the throne to me and even set up an imperial edict. His Emperor position was obtained by forced abdication and the position is not stable, if a prince holding an imperial edict still lives, he would not be able to relax.” Li Kun sighed bitterly as he spoke, “Actually, he really is overthinking this, if he can rule Zong Sui well and create a prosperous and stable country, why would I take the trouble to contest that throne? The citizens only want a stable life, who is Emperor is not important to them.”

With regards to Zong Sui’s battle for the throne, Feng Tianyu felt this matter was not a small one, as an insignificant woman, she could not make any decisions at all and did not even have the authority to interfere in anything. She looked at Li Kun’s injuries, and after thinking, she spoke: “For your identity, I am unsure if it should be revealed, but it would be better to err on the side of caution, so I cannot summon an imperial physician to see to your injuries, but the good thing is Ah-Heng has also come, I will ask someone to bring her here. Both of you know each other, and she is a divine doctor, having her see to your injuries would be the best. As for the rest, they can be talked about after your injuries have healed, preserving your life is more important.” action

Li Kun nodded, “It would be best if Princess Ji An can be asked to come over, we have not met for many years and I have heard about many things regarding her, I really miss the domineering aura she had when she broke my Zong Sui refined iron!” He forced himself to say these words, then lost his energy, and laid on the mattress facing upwards, no longer saying anything.

Feng Tianyu instruction her maid to secretly invite Feng Yuheng over, and after a while, she saw the maid come back alone, telling Feng Tianyu with a heavy expression: “Young Miss, Princess Yu is not in the hunting grounds, This Servant heard that there was an urgent matter in the capital which needed to be handled, she returned together with His Highness the Ninth Prince.”

“Returned?” Feng Tianyu was stunned, “Why did they leave so urgently?” She was suddenly struck by a very bad feeling. Currently, almost everyone was at the hunting grounds, the Sixth Prince also came here last night, returning after staying the night, if something happened in the capital, what would happen? But which person would cause an incident when the imperial palace was empty? She looked at Li Kun and thought about Zong Sui, only thinking, could it be that the people from Zong Sui secretly entered the capital, attacking Da Shun at this moment?

Thinking about it, it was probably not it, if it was that serious, it was impossible for only the Ninth Prince and Feng Yuheng to return. She could not think of the reason, but since Feng Yuheng was not around, she could not privately leave a man in her own tent, thinking about it, she told the maid: “Ask my father to come!”

Feng Tianyu invited the Right Prime Minister, when the Right Prime Minister came, he pushed aside the curtain, speaking as he walked: “His Majesty and Yao Xian can really drink and sleep, they have not woken up yet, it seems like there will be no chance of hunting today. From what I think, coming here is just to relax, about hunting, who would be in the mood for that.” As he spoke, he saw Li Kun lying on the mattress. He could not help but frown, approaching quickly with a few steps. After staring and pondering for a long time, he finally spoke: “Zong Sui’s Fourth Prince?”

Li Kun had already looked over when the Right Prime Minister entered the tent, wanting to get up and exchange greetings, but because of his heavy injuries, he could not move well at all, so he could only nod his head while on the mattress, speaking with an expression of shame: “It is This Prince, Lord Right Prime Minister, This Prince has heavy injuries, please pardon my rudeness.”

The Right Prime Minister waved his hand in dismissal, “It is no trouble, This Prime Minister will only ask you, why have you appeared here?”

Feng Tianyu quickly explained everything which happened. After the Right Prime Minister heard this, he grunted and said: “I thought that Zong Sui can be steady for a while, but did not expect the imperial palace to change so quickly.” As he spoke, he asked Li Kun: “You came to our Da Shun to seek protection, or do you have another motive? A prince with an imperial edict to inherit the throne, it would not be as simple as asking for protection, right?”

Li Kun nodded, his expression showing hatred, “Not hiding this from Right Prime Minister, This Prince originally had no intentions of fighting for the throne, but that Li Jian is ruling with violence. There are no benefits to Zong Sui’s citizens and relentlessly pursuing me to death like this, I truly feel frustrated about this.”

“So you hope for Da Shun to take action for you and take back the throne?” The Right Prime Minister shook his head, “Why does our Da Shun have to interfere with the internal matters of your Zong Sui? Even if he has the intentions to no longer submit to Da Shun, he needs to have the ability, and our Da Shun will not attack, once we enter Zong Sui’s borders, the matter will not be left as it is so easily. At that time, whether it will be helping the legitimate prince to ascend the throne or our Da Shun simply conquering Zong Sui, this is something which cannot be determined now.”

The Right Prime Minister said things clearly, if Da Shun attacked Zong Sui, there was no need for them to hand over the throne after they conquered it, wouldn’t it be better for them to rule it themselves? Zong Sui was not like Gu Shu, getting hotter the further they went, it would not be easy for Da Shun to rule that area. Zong Sui’s weather was like spring all year round, their weather was much better than Da Shun, being able to rule this type of land was a good thing to Da Shun.

Li Kun was not surprised to hear such words at all, he only asked the Right Prime Minister: “Whether to help in this matter or not, can Lord Right Prime Minister decide on this?”

The Right Prime Minister shook his head, “Just as you thought, This Prime Minister cannot make the decision. Forget it.” He waved his hand once in dismissal, “The regent prince has already returned to the imperial place and the Ninth Prince has returned to the capital, but in this hunting grounds, there is one person who carries more weight than This Prime Minister, you can talk to him!!”

The Right Prime Minister was not referring to anyone else but the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua. This person Xuan Tianhua never asked about political matters, but when there were important matters, he would not be left out of the loop. He was the same as Xuan Tianming, he was a heart-soothing pill for the people of Da Shun, as long as the Seventh Prince or the Ninth Prince was around, people would feel that they had a pillar, their effect of providing stability in people’s hearts were a hundred times better than the Sixth Prince.

A short while later, Xuan Tianhua also came to the tent, Li Kun appearing here did not cause him to show any emotion of surprise of his face. After listening to Feng Tianyu’s explanation, he only asked Li Kun one thing: “Since you are asking for help, then please explain, why should our Da Shun help you?”

This Li Kun was also someone who could hold his secrets, he said so many things to Feng Yuheng and the Right Prime Mininster Feng Qing but did not talk about the most key point. When he saw the Seventh Prince, he showed the cards in his hand: “Because amongst the people who supported the new Emperor Li Jian, the minister who contributed the most, his name is Duanmu Anguo, from what This Prince heard, this person, is very important to Da Shun.”

Xuan Tianhua nodded, not asking anymore, immediately instructing his subordinates to secretly transport Li Kun back to the capital, entering Chun Palace directly. At the same time, he sent another imperial physician to follow him to treat Li Kun’s injuries during the journey. And this imperial physician was no one else but Xu Mao who had rushed to the hunting grounds not long ago.

Feng Tianyu was not the only one to discover Li Kun’s appearing here, Feng Fendai also found out almost immediately, it was just that she was not able to rescue that person before Feng Tianyu. But this person appearing upset Fendai’s emotions. Even if she had just quarrelled with the Fifth Prince and it was a quarrel which harmed their relationship greatly, she was not in the mood to think about the matters between the Fifth Prince and herself, focusing on that Li Kun, constantly thinking about it, with a Zong Sui prince appearing at this time, covered in serious injuries, is this related to Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng suddenly returning to the capital?

Fendai was someone who could not sit still, she needed to immediately carry out what she thought of, else her heart would not keep quiet. Just like now, she suddenly had the thought of returning to the capital early, no matter what happened, she wanted to observe the commotion. The agitation in her heart which was forced to quiet down after much effort because of the political situation flared up again. She always hoped for chaos to happen in the capital, the more chaotic it was, the better, because heroes would only appear in turbulent times, only a huge commotion now would be able to break this established situation, it might also be very possible for the Fifth Prince to get a share of the action during this turbulent time, so it would not be impossible for her dream to come true.

Once she thought about this, Fendai immediately instructed Dong Ying: “Pack up, we are returning to the capital immediately.”

Dong Ying was unable to figure out what her Young Miss was thinking, but Fendai was like this, she was already used to it. Thinking that staying at the hunting grounds would only cause further conflict with the Fifth Prince, it would be better to return to the capital and stay at their own small courtyard. Therefore, she was very compliant, only asking “Then should we bring Young Master along as well?”

Once that child was mentioned, Fendai felt irritated, waving her hand in dismissal and saying: “Doesn’t someone like babysitting that child? Then he should just babysit him. When he doesn’t like to do it anymore, then just throw the child away, I can’t be bothered to care.”

Dong Ying did not plan to advise her any further, only quietly packing things, and when master and servant packed up and walked out of the tent, they saw Xuan Tianyan currently holding Xiao Bao’s hand and walking in this direction. Xiao Bao was walking in front, using all his might to pull Xuan Tianyan, shouting: “His Highness, walk faster, Xiao Bao wants to see older sister.”

Fendai sniffed, ignoring that child’s words and did not look down at him, only telling Xuan Tianyan: “You came at the right time, I am informing you, I am returning to the capital first with Dong Ying. If it is convenient for you, it would be best to tell the guards at the hunting grounds to let us leave.”

Xuan Tianyan did not understand what crazy antics she was up to now and thought she was still angry at him for what happened just now and could not help but advise her: “If what I said just now was too harsh, I apologise for it. Be obedient and don’t cause any more trouble, if you’re really too bored, I will accompany you in walking around the place.”

“Who will be in the mood to walk around with you.” Fendai told Xuan Tianyan: “I keep having a bad feeling that something bad will happen in the capital. Xuan Tianyan, if you are not ambitious, I cannot do anything about it, but for some things, if I do not strive for them, I will never settle down!”
