The Emperor had lost all vigor. Zhang Yuan worriedly supported him, repeatedly giving looks to Xuan Tian Ming. He wanted for him to say something nice, but the Emperor waved his hand. With a heavy sigh, he said: "Just go! Just come back alive. Save the refugees and treat it as... treat it as compensation for the Xi Ye tribe."
Feng Yu Heng did not understand what the Emperor's words meant, nor did she understand what the situation was with the Xi Ye tribe. But she was not too curious. With the natural disaster before them, who still had the mind to inquire about gossip.
The night was deep. When the two came out of the imperial palace, it was already past midnight; however, there were still a large number of soldiers running back and forth. Just watching it caused people to feel flustered.
Feng Yu Heng said to Xuan Tian Ming: "In truth, you don't need to come outside the city with me. After all, the inside of the city is not stable either. The people need to be reassured."
Xuan Tian Ming patted her shoulder, comforting her: "The capital has father Emperor and seventh brother. When it comes to reassuring people, seventh brother has always been better than me."
Feng Yu Heng understood this reasoning, but right before leaving the palace, the Emperor's reluctant appearance circled her mind. She said: "Father Emperor is unwilling to allow you to go. I can go out. In the end, I am not a member of the imperial family. Even if something happens to me, he will not feel too distressed. But you are different. Xuan Tian Ming, I can see that father Emperor does not want to let you go out. If something were to happen to you, he could not endure it."
"You will allow something to happen to me?" Xuan Tian Ming turned around and asked her, "If something would happen to me, it definitely would not be safe for me. Heng Heng, when there is fortune, we will enjoy it together. If there is trouble, we will endure it together. This is nothing. I am a man."
The words I am a man made it hard for Feng Yu Heng to say anything else. She could understand Xuan Tian Ming's desire to help her shoulder the burden. If this situation were flipped, she would have done the same.
As the imperial carriage went toward the county princess' manor, Xuan Tian Ming advised her: "Get a good night's sleep tonight. Early tomorrow morning, we will head outside the city."
Though told to get a good night's sleep, who could possibly sleep. After Feng Yu Heng returned to her courtyard, she went straight to the medicine storage room. She then entered her space and took out all of her antibiotic injections. Picking out the ones that could be used, she placed them in boxes. She then brought out a large amount of disinfectant along with some spray bottles. THere were also a large number of necessary medicines that needed to be prepared. Medicine for colds, diarrhea and all sorts of illnesses that she could think of were prepared and brought out of her space. She did this a number of times, and the medicine storage room became filled with things that she had brought out. Feng Yu Heng sat on the ground and looked at the piles of medicine surrounding her. She did not feel relaxed at all because she knew that just having medicine was not enough. She did not know how things were going for Xuan Tian Ge with the purchasing of rice. There was also the matter of clothing.
Thinking of clothing, Feng Yu Heng sighed and entered her space once more to pull out set after set of raincoats. Fortunately, this sort of item that could not be exhausted would be replenished as soon as it was taken from the space. Otherwise, there really would not be anything that she could do.
She worked all through the night, filling the medicine storage room completely, but it still was not enough. But she could not continue to pull things out. There was too much stuff. Transporting it all to the city's gates would be a problem. She called Wang Chuan inside and gave an order: "Quickly go prepare the carriage. Place all of these things on the carriage. Remember, the carriage must be sturdy and block the rain."
