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

Chapter 138 Who is the Confidence of Who
Fang Tong really couldn't understand.

If it were anyone else, they would have tried every possible means to hide the matter from the emperor. But Feng Twelve was different. Not only was he in the army, but he also thought the emperor was not suspicious enough and took the initiative to walk into the trap.

"Are you afraid that you will live too long?" She couldn't help but get angry.

It was just an angry remark, but seeing Feng Twelve pull the corner of his mouth, he actually showed a hint of smile. Fang Tong was really angry this time, and punched him on the shoulder: "You're still laughing?"

Feng Twelve took a punch, but he acted as if nothing had happened, looking at her and laughing softly.

Fang Tong felt confused by his laughter. His ears didn't feel hot, but he felt itchy listening to his laughter.

She gently dropped her hand and pulled it back from his palm: "If you don't tell me, I won't ask."

She had gone to the Prince's Mansion with great difficulty, but it turned out that this person knew everything and made everyone worry for nothing.

She turned and walked towards the long street. It was late at night and the lights were gradually dimming. The buildings in the distance were hidden in the night fog, as blurry as a mirage.

The presence behind him was approaching, and Feng Twelve's cold voice was heard.

"The imperial guards accompanying me on this trip to Luozhou were all sent by His Majesty. My every move in the Beihe Army cannot escape his eyes and ears. Even if I don't say a word, someone will report it back to the capital," he said softly, "The Crown Prince also understands this principle, so he reported it to His Majesty truthfully."

Fang Tong glanced at the tall figure beside him and slowed down his pace: "But the emperor still injured the prince."

"I didn't expect that he would be willing to hurt the prince." Feng Twelve said, "I will go to the prince's mansion to visit him tomorrow."

"You will enter the palace tomorrow?" Fang Tong asked, "The emperor is still angry. Will he suspect something when he sees you suddenly return to the capital?"

At this point she suddenly remembered: "Luozhou is a thousand miles away from the capital. You rushed back so quickly. What happened there?"

"Nothing." Feng Twelve looked normal.

Fang Tong looked at him suspiciously: "I don't believe it. If you leave, who will keep an eye on the Beihe Army?"

"Zhao Heng from the Ministry of Personnel is a talented person. With him, we can contact officials from nearby states."

"Zhao Heng?" Fang Tong had never heard of this name. "Who is he?"

"The officials who went to Luozhou with me," Feng Twelve said, "are also the prince's men."

Fang Tong was surprised, then laughed: "I said the prince is not that soft."

He was really brave enough to place his own people among the officials sent by the emperor.

"Then why did you rush back to the capital?" Fang Tong was curious.

"I found a secret letter from Sui Yongdao, which said that Prince Ping's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate had failed, and the emperor sent me to Luozhou to remove his military power and let him make preparations early."

"Secret letter?" Fang Tong raised an eyebrow. "Who wrote it?"

"Not sure," Feng Twelve said, "The handwriting on the letter is the most common official style. All candidates for the imperial examinations can write this style. There is nothing special about it."

"Do you know who sent it?" Fang Tong asked.

"I don't know," Feng Twelve said, "The remaining members of Prince Ping's palace have all been captured. Only Your Majesty and a few important officials know that I left the capital. If it is leaked, it must be a spy in the court. It is not convenient to send a letter about this matter, so I hurried back to the capital to prepare to meet Your Majesty."

"This is indeed strange," Fang Tong nodded, "Even I only knew that you were going to Luozhou, and I was deceived by you."

That night she was eager to go with Feng Twelve, but when she woke up the next day she found out that Feng Twelve had left without saying goodbye. When she mentioned this, she raised her eyes and glared at Feng Twelve.

Did she really want to go? If she hadn't felt sorry for him that night, she wouldn't have wanted to waste her time.

Feng Twelve looked at her: "I apologize."

Fang Tong snorted softly: "A belated apology is not worth a few pennies." She walked forward slowly with her hands behind her back. The night breeze blew on her face. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and at an angle that Feng Twelve could not see, a faint smile escaped from the corner of her mouth.

In any case, it’s good that the person comes back safely. He is her thigh in the capital and cannot be broken easily.

"How about I give you another big gift?" Feng Twelve followed her.

Fang Tong wanted to remain silent, but Feng Twelve didn't say anything when he saw her. Fang Tong waited for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "What gift?"

"I heard that you have already bought a house." Feng Twelve said, "When you move in, I will offer it to you with both hands."

Fang Tong raised his eyebrows. It was rare that Feng Twelve would keep people in suspense.

"Then I'll wait," she said with a smile, "On the day of moving, please ask His Majesty the Twelfth Prince to come and warm up the house for me."

When Feng Twelve saw her smile, the corners of his mouth twitched as well.

"Just me?"

"Of course not." Fang Tong counted on his fingers, "When you come, Commander Wei and Xiaonian will definitely come. Lu Tao has also promised me that she will bring a few sisters with her. I have also agreed with Aunt Zhang from the kitchen to come with her. Oh, and Shopkeeper Ming."

If you calculate it this way, she will have to invite quite a few people on the day of moving to the new house.

Feng Twelve showed a surprised look: "And Ming He?"

Fang Tong nodded as a matter of course: "I forgot to tell you that I met Shopkeeper Ming today and discussed a business deal with her."

"What deal?"

"I want to do business with her." Fang Tong told him what happened in the cloth shop today. "If my method works, I can at least have enough food and clothing in the capital, regardless of how much money I can make."

The variety of pet clothing she has seen in modern times is enough for her to come up with new ideas for a long time.

Feng Twelve listened and smiled softly: "It seems that you have adapted well."

When he was not in the capital, she was not idle at all. Even if he left the capital completely one day, she would be able to live a good life.

"Thank you for giving me the capital," Fang Tong said with a smile, "Without you, I wouldn't have the confidence to settle down in the capital."

Feng Twelve paused for a moment: "Am I your confidence?"

Fang Tong nodded: "Without that eight hundred taels, how could I dare to buy a house in the capital, let alone do business."

She is just an ordinary person who has never thought of creating any miracles. From her previous life to this life, she only wants to have a place to live, some extra money in her pocket, and to do things without having to worry about the consequences. That is enough.

Feng Twelve stared at her, his eyes darkening: "That's the money you earned with your life. It's you who gave yourself the confidence."

"It would take a while to meet a sponsor as generous as you." Fang Tong said half-jokingly.

"Financial sponsor?" Feng Twelve obviously didn't like the term. "You said we were friends."

He was dressed in black, his eyes filled with the night, rising and falling with the flickering lights of the capital.

His eyes were focused and serious, which made Fang Tong inadvertently have a subtle association.

She coughed lightly, instinctively avoided his gaze, and placed her right hand on her left wrist, loosely holding it.

Her fingers touched something hard, which was the crossbow case she had tied in her sleeve. Her mind suddenly turned and she remembered something important.

"The man who met Hong Xiao in the restaurant should be an official of the imperial court."

She suddenly changed the subject. Feng Twelve's eyebrows moved. He looked at her and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face. He sighed in his heart and followed her topic and asked, "Why do you think so?"
