Besides lying down, I also know a little about power struggles

Chapter 124: Feng Twelve's Evil Handle
Qin Shiyue returned to the Prince's Mansion, and before she changed her clothes, she heard the servants announce that the Prince had returned.

Feng Yunxi walked in quickly, and when he saw her, he pulled her around and looked her over before saying, "I heard that you almost got into trouble."

Qin Shiyue cooperated and opened her arms to let him look at her: "What are you afraid of? If something really happened, I wouldn't be here."

"Nonsense." Feng Yunxi's handsome face darkened.

Qin Shiyue chuckled and pulled him to sit down beside the bed: "Did you see clearly? Am I intact?"

Feng Yunxi smiled helplessly, his eyes moved to her abdomen, and he raised his hand to cover her slightly bulging belly: "Are you scared?"

"Are you asking me or the child?" Qin Shiyue raised her lips. "If you ask me, I'm busy drawing my bow and arrow and have no time to care about anything else. If you ask about the child, wait until he is born and then ask him yourself."

Feng Yunxi tapped her forehead with her fingers: "You still have the mind to joke."

"Look at your face," Qin Shiyue said disdainfully, "If I stop joking, your face will become as ugly as a shoe horn."

She touched his cheek and comforted him, "Why are you afraid? I am the Crown Princess. Good things will come to me."

"Yes, you shot a crazy horse to death with two arrows in the downtown area. The Crown Princess was so brave that even His Majesty was speechless for a long time after hearing it."

Qin Shiyue suppressed her laughter and pushed him gently: "Are you praising me or insulting me? Your Majesty will surely say that I don't know the seriousness of the matter again."

Feng Yunxi grabbed her hand, turned it over and looked at it carefully: "In that situation, if you hadn't intervened in time, the horse would have collided with the car, and you would have been injured at best... or even killed."

As he spoke, his face darkened. "That crazy horse came from a nearby horse market. Jingzhao Yin has taken the seller back to the yamen for questioning. As for the mother and daughter, I have sent people to check their background."

"I don't think they have any problems," Qin Shiyue said, "Everyone on the street was busy dodging, and the child was so young that it was inevitable that she would be squeezed out."

"I hope so." Feng Yunxi's face still looked unhappy.

Qin Shiyue glanced at him and said with a smile: "But I did meet someone today who suits my temperament."

Before she could explain who it was, Feng Yunxi asked, "Fang Tong?"

Qin Shiyue's mouth moved and she slapped him on the chest: "How do you know everything?"

Feng Yunxi coughed lightly and said, "The news of your distress was reported to the palace. Not only me, but also His Majesty asked about it in detail. If you didn't value her, why would you take the initiative to send her back home?"

Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "That girl is bold and careful, and she is also kind."

"How do you know she is kind?" Feng Yunxi asked.

"My vision of people is no worse than yours," Qin Shiyue brushed the hem of her skirt, "When people are in a critical situation, their first reaction is to protect themselves, but she didn't forget to save someone's life when she was facing a life-and-death crisis. This is kindness."

Although Feng Yunxi had not been to the scene in person, she could imagine how dangerous it was at the time: "Such a talent is worthy of the Twelve's attention."

"What?" Qin Shiyue heard the hidden meaning, "Are you still worried that Twelve has been deceived?"

Feng Yunxi smiled, with some emotion between his eyebrows and eyes: "When have you ever seen Twelve ask me for help? And it was for a girl."

Qin Shiyue clicked her tongue: "From what I hear, are you jealous?"

Feng Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What nonsense! If Twelve meets someone he likes, I will be happy for him. But he only said that Fang Tong was a friend he made outside and didn't mention anything about his specific background. I'm just afraid that he won't be able to notice it and get fooled, but it will be troublesome if he gets hurt." "Since you are so worried, why did you agree to do what he asked you to do?" Qin Shiyue asked.

"This is the first time he's begged me," Feng Yunxi looked at his wife, "He can obviously do it himself, but he came to me for help. Why do you think he did that?"

Qin Shiyue thought about it and shook her head: "He is a taciturn person, and you are a thoughtful person. How can I understand the twists and turns between you two?"

Feng Yunxi smiled and patted her hands on her knees: "If I'm not mistaken, he deliberately gave me a handle."

"Handle?" Qin Shiyue frowned.

Feng Yunxi nodded: "You often say that I am too thoughtful. In my opinion, Twelve is the one who thinks the most deeply."

"What do you mean?"

Feng Yunxi: "I am the crown prince. He has helped me a lot, so I can get through the crisis time and time again. But if I become the crown prince in the future, will I still have a deep brotherly relationship with him?"

Qin Shiyue was stunned.

Feng Yunxi seemed not to notice his wife's solemn expression, and continued: "I have asked myself this question countless times, and I am sure he has asked himself this question countless times too. In his early years, my father had many close friends around him, but what was their fate later? The more loyal and upright they were, the more miserable their later years were. My father is not afraid of others having shortcomings, but only afraid of others not having shortcomings."

"So Twelve handed you the handle to tell you that if you are afraid in the future, you can use this to control him?" Qin Shiyue was moved, "But you are not His Majesty, he is too cautious to do this."

Feng Yunxi took his wife's hand and said, "It's not his fault, because I am not sure if I will become like my father in the future."

Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "So, I have to plan for myself early. Fortunately, I still have the divorce letter. If you and I dislike each other in the future, we can still part ways and live happily."

Feng Yunxi choked.

In order to marry Qin Shiyue, he put in a lot of effort. Not only did he disobey the emperor for the first time, he also wrote a divorce letter at Qin Shiyue's request.

Since the founding of Da Zhao, he was the only prince who signed a divorce letter before getting married. If his ancestors were still alive, they would probably jump out of their tombs and beat him up.

However, Qin Shiyue's reason was irresistible.

"Although you said you won't take concubines, you are the crown prince and will most likely become the emperor in the future. Emperors have always had three harems and six courtyards, but I can't stand having someone in the backyard. Give me a divorce letter, and if you find a new lover in the future, I promise not to cry or make a fuss and stay in the harem."

As the daughter of a general, Qin Shiyue's words were powerful. If Feng Yunxi didn't write to her, she would not marry.

Feng Yunxi was troubled by this for most of the night, until Feng Twelve woke him up with one word: "If she marries you, she will cut off all her escape routes. If you really love her, you should do as she says and leave her a glimmer of hope."

There were very few couples in the royal family who divorced peacefully. Even if there were, it would be difficult for the woman to find another home. Qin Shiyue had already gambled her entire second half of life by marrying Feng Yunxi. Compared to the embarrassment of writing a divorce letter before getting married, Qin Shiyue's sacrifice was far greater than Feng Yunxi's.

Feng Yunxi thought of the embarrassment at the beginning and couldn't help pinching his wife's cheek: "Can't you just hope for my well-being?"

"Your status here is good or bad, it's just two things to say," Qin Shiyue said matter-of-factly, "Just as your majesty is a wise ruler in the eyes of the people, but as his children, only you know the taste of it."

After these words were spoken, Feng Yunxi's eyes dimmed slightly.

"I wonder if Twelve is doing well," he said solemnly, "according to the date, he should have arrived in Luozhou."
