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

Chapter 144: Tiger and Wolf
Fang Tong looked at him with admiration. If it was someone else who said this, she might not believe it, but when it came to Feng Twelve, she believed it without a doubt.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"A lot." Feng Twelve said bluntly.

Fang Tong opened his eyes slightly wide in surprise: "I can't tell."

Feng Twelve chuckled and said, "I am not a saint who has no desires. I have all the greed that I should have."

"For example?" Fang Tong was curious.

Feng Twelve looked at her without saying anything.

Fang Tong realized that his question was too in-depth and said with a smile: "If it's inconvenient, I won't ask."

"What about you?" Feng Twelve asked, "You already have freedom, what else do you want in the future?"

Fang Tong thought: "Peace and prosperity for the country and the people?"

This was no joke. In the past, when she made birthday wishes every year, she would put peace and prosperity for the country and the people at the top of the wish list. When she came to Dazhao, she hoped that this prosperous era would last longer, and at least there would not be any wars or chaos during her lifetime.

Feng Twelve probably didn't expect that this was her wish. A strange look flashed in his eyes: "Really?"

"Of course." Fang Tong said, "I remember there is an old saying, it is better to be a dog in peace than a person in chaos. The thing I am most grateful for coming here is that Dazhao is prosperous enough and peaceful enough."

She didn't have any great ambitions, nor was she naive enough to think that she was God's chosen one who could easily become the king and dominate the world like the protagonist in a time-travel novel.

She had never even dreamed of becoming the richest person. She was just an ordinary person with a little cultural quality and work experience. In some aspects, she had more knowledge than the people of Dazhao, but that was all.

The ancients were not fools, and what modern people have learned still comes from thousands of years of accumulation. She just wants to gain a firm foothold in this strange world, live steadily, and live in peace until old age.

"Do you like Dazhao?" Feng Twelve asked.

Fang Tong groaned for a while: "I can't say I like it very much, after all, this is not my hometown, but at least I am satisfied."

She had died once, and it was a great fortune for her to be able to live again. It was difficult for her to explain this feeling to Feng Twelve, but she believed that he would understand.

Feng Twelve stared into her eyes.

Fang Tong's eyes are very clear, sometimes like those of a small animal, curious and inquisitive about everything. The color of her pupils is like a ray of sunlight shining on a tree trunk in autumn, exuding a warm and simple texture.

He had seen her world in his dreams, which was obviously much better than Dazhao, but he had never seen her complain. She was like a little bird accidentally born into this world. From the moment she opened her eyes, she calmly accepted her shelling and spread her wings to the world.

Even though her wings were still very tender and could be broken with a slight twist, she still fearlessly dived into this world.

his world.

Feng Twelve's fingers moved lightly on his knees: "Your wish will definitely come true."

"Really?" Fang Tong laughed. "This is not just for me, but for all the common people. You must also be looking forward to Dazhao's prosperity."

Even though Feng Twelve seems to be indifferent to worldly affairs and remains calm all day long, he will do what he says when something really happens. Fang Tong believes that if Dazhao is in trouble, he will never sit idly by.

"I'm not as good as you think." Feng Twelve said.

"No one is perfect if we talk about deeds but not heart. Fang Tong did not argue with him. "In my heart, you are the best one in the whole Dazhao."

Feng Twelve raised his eyes, saw her smile, paused for a moment on her face, and looked away.

"We've arrived at the palace," he said.

Fang Tong turned his head to look through the half-exposed car window, and sure enough, he saw the towering city wall appear before his eyes.

She patted the hem of her skirt, straightened her clothes, and glanced at Feng Twelve again.

"What's wrong?" Feng Twelve asked.

"Since this is our first visit, we should bring some gifts." Fang Tong regretted.

"The Prince's Mansion lacks nothing."

"Of course I know." Fang Tong spread his hands, "But coming here empty-handed doesn't look like visiting a patient at all."

She had asked Feng Twelve last night, and Feng Twelve told her not to worry about it. She was very tired at the time and didn't think much about it. Now that she was about to see the palace gate, she felt the reality of visiting the Prince's Mansion.

"You really haven't prepared anything?" she asked, "You and the prince are good brothers."

Seeing that she looked worried, Feng Twelve chuckled and tapped twice on the secret compartment in the carriage.

The secret compartment was opened, and Feng Twelve took out an exquisite brocade box and handed it to Fang Tong. "What is this?" Fang Tong took it.

“Deer antler.”

After saying that, Feng Twelve handed over another one.

"What is this?" Fang Tong asked again.

"Ginseng."

Before he finished speaking, the third brocade box was pressed into Fang Tong's hand.

"What is this?" Fang Tong held several boxes in his hands and had no time to open them.

“Tiger bone.”

Feng Twelve paused after he finished speaking, then took out another brocade box from the secret compartment.

Fang Tong stared at the secret compartment: "How much have you prepared?"

"I'm not sure." Feng Twelve said calmly, "I asked Wei Baichuan to go to the warehouse to get some this morning. They should all be here."

After saying this, he glanced at the seal on the brocade box and paused slightly.

"What is it?" Fang Tong asked when he saw that his expression looked strange.

Feng Twelve: "...Tiger Whip."

Fang Tong: "Tiger...Puff."

She couldn't help but laugh.

The prince's injury was in his head, so it was nothing for Wei Baichuan to give him a tiger whip.

Feng Twelve was silent for a moment, then threw the brocade box back into the secret compartment.

Fang Tong found his actions even more hilarious.

"Maybe he took the wrong one." She excused Wei Baichuan, "Or maybe he put it aside for backup and forgot to take it away."

Feng Twelve looked at her and said, "I don't need this."

Fang Tong was stunned for a moment: "That's not what I meant. I meant that you often have relationships with people, and Commander Wei put it here for you, so you can give it to someone when you need it temporarily."

She explained so quickly that it didn't seem like she was trying to excuse Wei Baichuan, but rather to find a way out for Feng Twelve.

Feng Twelve stared at her with his dark eyes, his expression difficult to discern.

Fang Tong was somewhat puzzled by his stare, and said, "Of course you can't use it. You are still so young."

Tiger whip can replenish yang. Feng Twelve is only in his twenties and has always been a pure and simple person. There is no reason for him to use this medicine unless he has a hidden illness.

Fang Tong thought of this and subconsciously glanced down at him.

Feng Twelve was keenly aware of where her gaze was going, and his calm expression finally showed a few fluctuations.

He reopened the secret compartment and took out the box of tiger whips.

Fang Tong only felt his arms sink, and the three brocade boxes in his arms turned into four.

"Do you really want to send it?" she asked.

Feng Twelve did not answer. When the two of them got off the carriage, he took the four brocade boxes from her hands and gave them to Xiaonian.

When Crown Prince Feng Yunxi heard that Feng Twelve was coming to visit, he was already waiting in the front hall.

When he saw the brocade boxes, he said to Feng Twelve, "You came if you want to, why did you bring so many gifts?"

"I don't need it, so I'll give it to you."

Feng Twelve asked Xiaonian to hand the brocade box over to the steward of the Prince's Mansion.

The chief steward took the brocade box and saw the seal on the top box of tiger whips. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

It would have been fine if the Twelfth Prince didn't send any gifts, but he sent something so valuable that he couldn't use it, but then again, his Crown Prince couldn't use it either.
