In order to see Helan Yanting as soon as possible, Feng Yunshu took a shortcut and used her spiritual power to search for his location.
Feng Yunshu happened to have a token he had given her, which came in handy. After a search, she found that Helan Yanting was not in the Yuan Kingdom, but in the remote Wuz Kingdom.
"It's strange. Why would the prince go to the Wuz Kingdom?"
Xiaoling nodded beside her. "I heard that the fifth princess was supposed to marry the prince of the Wuz Kingdom in a political marriage. Now that the fifth princess didn't go, the prince went there instead?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The fifth princess was going to be sent for a political marriage. The prince surely isn't going for a political marriage. We'll know what he's going for if we go and take a look, won't we?"
Xiaoling nodded. "Yeah, let's go then."
Before leaving the Dan Kingdom, Feng Yunshu heard another piece of news.
There seemed to be a new national master in the Dan Kingdom's palace. This person was not Kong Ze. According to what everyone said, this national master always wore a mask and a black robe. No one knew whether this national master was male or female, or where they came from.
"Miss, I heard that the new national master in the palace is really amazing. He can really do magic!"
"How do you know that?" Feng Yunshu raised her eyebrows and asked Ziyuan, who was looking very gossipy.
Ziyuan quickly said, "It's said that not long ago, a palace in the palace suddenly caught fire. The fire was raging. Before everyone could react, the national master suddenly appeared. With a gentle wave of the hand, the big fire was extinguished. Everyone present was stunned!"
Feng Yunshu smiled after hearing this and didn't take it too seriously. Maybe this was just a trick.
Feng Yunshu thought that now that Dongfang Yuan, the new emperor, had just ascended the throne, and he didn't have the late emperor's edict of accession or the imperial jade seal in his hand. That meant that so far, he was at most a temporary emperor. He hadn't really held the enthronement ceremony yet. She guessed that he was probably going crazy looking for these two things at the moment.
In order to make everyone believe in him more, he needed to find a so - called "national master" to support him. If that was the case, it was not impossible to design some tricks in advance.
"This kind of trick is just to deceive those court officials and common people. Ziyuan, you've been with me for so long. You should improve your ability to distinguish gossip."
Since the journey there was long, she planned to use magic to get there directly. Since Ziyuan was just an ordinary person, Feng Yunshu planned to let her stay in the Dan Kingdom temporarily.
Although the Feng Mansion and the National Master's Mansion had disappeared, Feng Yunshu had the foresight. She had previously told Chang Fang to find a new house for her. It didn't need to be too big or ostentatious, just spacious and comfortable.
Sure enough, Shopkeeper Jia and Chang Fang had already found a house in a very good location for Feng Yunshu. The house faced south and was convenient to go out. The place was quiet. Moreover, Shopkeeper Jia had arranged a housekeeper and a nanny in charge of the daily life of the house for Feng Yunshu, as well as several reliable and capable maids and servants.
"Shopkeeper Jia, I'll trouble you to take care of Ziyuan for a while. Don't let her work too hard. If something really big happens, you can open this small box. I'll naturally receive your message."
Feng Yunshu handed the small box in her hand to Ziyuan. "Ziyuan, Xiaoling and I have something to go on a long - distance trip. During this period, you can learn from Shopkeeper Jia how to manage the shops. I'll leave those shops under my name to you for the time being."
"But, Miss... Ziyuan doesn't understand these things. How can I manage them well..."
"No one is born knowing these things. Don't they all learn slowly? If others can learn, don't you have the confidence in yourself?"
"Okay then. Ziyuan will surely study hard! When Miss comes back, you'll see Ziyuan's achievements!"
"That's the confidence. Keep it up. I'm optimistic about you, my dear girl!" Feng Yunshu patted Ziyuan on the shoulder. Looking at the increasingly delicate girl in front of her, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
"Time really flies... It seems like just yesterday that I rescued you from the Feng Mansion. You were just such a skinny little girl. You've eaten well and become fair and plump these days, looking so delicate."
Ziyuan blushed a little. "Miss, I'm not plump... I've indeed become much fairer, but I shouldn't be plump, right?"
Feng Yunshu nodded seriously. "Well, it's not that exaggerated. I just think that our Ziyuan is almost at the age to find a good husband. Hehe."
Now Ziyuan's face turned even redder. "Miss, you... I'm still young. I'm not in a hurry... Besides, I don't want to leave Miss and Xiaoling..."
"Master, if you keep teasing Sister Ziyuan, I feel like Sister Ziyuan will burn herself up."
"You're right. Okay, stop talking."
After giving instructions to Ziyuan, Feng Yunshu turned to look at Chang Fang. The young man in front of her was once a timid little boy who didn't dare to say a word even when he was wronged. Now he was a man with a firm look in his eyes and a natural calm aura between his eyebrows.
"Chang Fang, you've done a great job. You're one step closer to achieving your goal."
Although he had to act like a young master with dignity outside, in front of Feng Yunshu, Chang Fang was still the somewhat naive and simple little boy at first.
"Sister Yunshu, when will you come back from this long - distance trip? I've been busy expanding the restaurant these days. You haven't come for a long time. We haven't seen each other for a long time. You're leaving again just after you came back. I was still thinking of taking you to other places to see our restaurants."
Feng Yunshu reached out and rubbed his head. Seeing the reluctance in the young master's eyes, she said, "I'm not not coming back. Don't worry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You just focus on making money well. I'm just suitable to be a hands - off boss. Thanks to your hard work these days."
Chang Fang quickly shook his head. "Sister Yunshu, you're not a hands - off boss at all. If it weren't for your constant guidance and help back then, I wouldn't have understood these things so quickly. Most of this is your credit, Sister Yunshu!"
Feng Yunshu smiled. "Okay, you manage it well. I don't have any other big ideals. Look, I finally became a princess, but I didn't get any benefits. Just let me quietly be an invisible rich woman. So I have to rely on you!"
"Don't worry, Sister Yunshu. You can withdraw the revenue from our restaurant in any major bank. No matter how much silver you need, it's no problem. Just go and withdraw it."
Feng Yunshu smiled and patted Chang Fang on the shoulder. "Our Chang Fang has really grown up. Listen to what a domineering and reliable thing you said. It won't be long before you'll probably become the apple of the eye of the girls in the imperial city. You're handsome, extremely rich, and have such a kind nature. Tsk tsk..."
Chang Fang blushed a little from what Feng Yunshu said. He scratched the back of his head. "I'm not as good as you said, Sister Yunshu. It's you, Sister Yunshu. You're beautiful, extremely intelligent, and full of ideas. It's the great fortune of Prince Helan to marry you."
Happy time was always short. While chatting and laughing, Feng Yunshu saw that it was getting late. After saying goodbye to a few people, she set off and left the Dan Kingdom.
Just thinking that she was about to see Helan Yanting and might even give him a surprise, Feng Yunshu couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from turning up. She had missed him very much since they last separated. She just tried her best not to think about him on weekdays, otherwise she was afraid that she would couldn't help but go to him first.
The things here were finally coming to an end, and she was going to see him.
Besides being happy and looking forward to it, Feng Yunshu's mood was also a bit nervous.
She actually had another thing to figure out when she went there, that was whether Helan Yanting was really Zhushan.
"Xiaoling, do you think... if the prince is really Zhushan, what should I do?"
"Well..." Xiaoling, who was usually very eloquent, was also at a loss for words this time, just because Feng Yunshu's question was really too nerve - wracking.
Before Xiaoling could speak, Feng Yunshu continued talking to herself, "I don't know what kind of mystery Master is hiding. I'm getting more and more of a feeling that I'm being sold and still counting the money for others..."
