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

Chapter 145 Rebellion

Feng Yunxi saw that the steward had a strange look on his face and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." The steward quickly lowered his head and walked out holding the brocade box.

Fang Tong had long noticed that the steward looked strange, and he secretly laughed in his heart but did not show it on his face.

She could see that Feng Twelve was a rebellious person. In order to prove that he had no use for that thing, he just threw it to the Crown Prince. He didn't even think about the fact that the Crown Princess was pregnant. Could the Crown Prince help her?

She stood behind Feng Twelve, looking at the back of his head. She really wanted to untie his hair to see how many whorls he had.

According to the old people, the more whorls a person has on his head, the more rebellious his personality is.

As she said, everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. Even though Feng Twelve usually behaves mature and steady, he is actually quite rebellious at heart.

She was lost in thought when she heard Feng Twelve say, "She is Fang Tong."

Fang Tong came to her senses and quickly retracted her gaze. She took a step forward and saluted Feng Yunxi: "I am Fang Tong, a commoner, and I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Feng Yunxi extended her hand to support him: "No need to be polite."

He looked at Fang Tong carefully and said with a smile, "I've heard about you from Twelve and Shiyue before. Now that I see you today, it's true that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person."

Fang Tong glanced at Feng Twelve and smiled politely at Feng Yunxi: "It's been a few days since I last saw the Crown Princess. I wonder if she is doing well now?"

This was naturally just a courtesy. She had just eavesdropped on the couple's conversation outside the window last night. Qin Shiyue's voice was full of energy and it was obvious that she was in very good condition.

Feng Yunxi nodded slightly: "She is fine. She was very happy to hear that you were coming today. She is resting in the backyard now. I have told someone to let her know. She will be here soon."

Several people talked and sat down.

Not long after, Qin Shiyue, dressed in casual clothes, came in from outside the door.

Fang Tong saw that her belly was slightly protruding and her face was rosy, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Meet the Crown Princess."

Qin Shiyue was indeed very happy to see her. He walked up to her, pulled her to sit on the other side, and asked her about her well-being for a while.

Seeing that the two were talking happily, Feng Yunxi winked at Feng Twelve and said, "Look, Shi Yue is more affectionate to Miss Fang than to me."

Feng Twelve: "Looking at you every day will naturally make me tired."

Feng Yunxi was choked.

He pointed at Feng Twelve, feeling both angry and amused: "It's been a while since we last met, and now you can tell jokes, too."

"It's like this." Feng Twelve looked at the bandage on his forehead, "How badly is he injured?"

"It's just a minor injury," Feng Yunxi said, "It didn't hit me originally, but the tea bowl fell to the ground and the fragments just happened to scratch my forehead, leaving a small cut."

He briefly mentioned the situation at that time, and Feng Twelve did not ask any further questions.

"When I entered the palace this morning, I explained to His Majesty what happened in Luozhou. He won't embarrass you anymore." Feng Twelve said.

"It's not that I'm embarrassed," Feng Yunxi smiled, "but you should have come back earlier to save me from this."

"Sui Yongdao has been operating in Luozhou for many years. In addition to his loyal followers in the army, he also has people in the Luozhou government office," said Feng Twelve. "If I don't eliminate all those people before I leave, I'm afraid Zhao Heng won't be able to control them."

"You chose Zhao Heng?" Feng Yunxi asked.

"He is yours. No one else can make me feel at ease except him."

Feng Yunxi looked at Feng Twelve: "How do you know he is mine?"

Feng Twelve lowered his eyes and smiled: "The position of the Ministry of Personnel is not high, but it is extremely important. After what happened with Meng Xuanyi, you will be more cautious and keep this position firmly in your own hands."

Feng Yunxi remained silent.

"Yes, the person in this position can influence the promotion of other officials, but it is not as conspicuous as others. Zhao Heng has received my favor and has served in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. I secretly helped him get this position."

He looked at Feng Twelve: "Do you blame me for not telling you in advance?" Feng Twelve shook his head: "You are the crown prince. You have your own considerations for your layout in the court. You don't have to tell me everything."

Feng Yunxi smiled and said, "You make me feel even more guilty when you say that."

"Then take care of me more."

Feng Twelve glanced to the side and saw Fang Tong talking to Qin Shiyue. She noticed his gaze and turned to look at him.

Their eyes met and Fang Tong raised his lips and smiled.

Feng Twelve's eyes warmed slightly and he withdrew his gaze.

Feng Yunxi looked at the two of them and understood: "Do you want me to take care of her more?"

"She has helped me many times," Feng Twelve said, "and she has helped you too."

Feng Yunxi nodded: "Last time when Shi Yue came back, he specifically mentioned this Miss Fang to me, saying that she was brave and courageous, and was a good girl worth making friends with."

"Her merits are not limited to these." Feng Twelve said.

"If she's so good, why do you need me to help take care of her?" Feng Yunxi laughed and teased, "She lives in your house now, wouldn't it be better if you can take care of her nearby?"

"She will move out soon," Feng Twelve said, "The capital is your territory, there are some things only you can do."

Feng Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "This is the palace, you are not afraid that this will reach His Majesty's ears."

Feng Twelve was unmoved: "This is the Crown Prince's residence. The people in this room are all reliable."

Feng Yunxi held his forehead and cried out that his head was aching.

"Isn't it just a small cut?" Feng Twelve asked.

Feng Yunxi raised her head and glared at him: "I'm angry at you."

He waved his hand and sat up straighter. "You sent me a message this morning saying that you had found the person who drove the crazy horse in the downtown area that day. Who was he and where is he now?"

Feng Twelve glanced at Fang Tong and said, "We need to ask her about what happened."

Under the willow bridge, an exquisite pleasure boat sways on the waves.

In a quiet room on the second floor of the painted boat, Qingluan and Wuyue Hermit sat opposite each other.

"Where did Hongxiao go?" asked Wu Yue Shanren.

Qing Luan said coldly: "I don't know yet. She sent Ji Xiu away last night and never came back. I have asked someone to look for her."

"Waste." said the man from Wuyue Mountain.

Qingluan raised her eyebrows: "Who are you scolding?"

"Scold you." Wuyueshanren looked directly at her angry face and said calmly, "Ji Xiu has agreed to work for me. The only requirement is to give him Hong Xiao. Now that Hong Xiao has run away, who should I find to take her place?"

"She won't run away," Qingluan said, "I know her better than you do. Even if she is unwilling to give up, at most she will poison Ji Xiu to death after the mission is accomplished, but it is absolutely impossible for her to leave the organization."

"Are you so sure?" Wu Yue Shanren smiled. "When you left the White Bird Pavilion, the Pavilion Master of the White Bird Pavilion probably didn't expect that his men would defect."

Qing Luan's face turned cold: "Without our help, your plan will not succeed."

"Did it succeed?" Wuyueshan asked, "My plan was to make both the Ping Wang party and the Crown Prince party lose, but now Feng Yunxi is still alive and well, and even Feng Twelve has returned from Luozhou."

Qing Luan's face was tense: "That's your business. We have done what we should do."

"Is that so?" Wuyue Shanren sneered, "Since you came to the capital, you haven't hurt the Crown Princess at all. Qingluan, I didn't seek your cooperation just to be disappointed again and again."

"I told you I would find Hong Xiao." Qing Luan said coldly, "Ji Xiu doesn't have to have her. He likes beautiful women, so I will find you another beauty. If he wants money, don't you still have Prince Jing? Prince Jing is like a dog and is completely obedient to you. If you ask him to pay money, he will definitely be more than happy to do it."
