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

Chapter 148 His Wish
Because of his complicated emotions, Fang Tong hardly participated in the following conversation.

She was in an unreal floating state until she and Feng Twelve came out of the Prince's Mansion and boarded the carriage for the return trip.

Seeing her absentmindedly stepping onto the footstool, Feng Twelve couldn't help but reach out and help her up.

"Watch your step."

Fang Tong's first reaction was to hold the box tightly in his hands.

Feng Twelve saw this and looked helpless. He held her arm and helped her into the carriage.

"Your stuff won't fall." He pulled her into the carriage, "Even if it does fall, you can just get another one."

Fang Tong quickly hugged the box to his chest: "It will be so troublesome to repair it, and you will have to beg for mercy again."

"Don't listen to the prince's nonsense," Feng Twelve said, "I didn't ask him for help."

"If you didn't ask him, where did you get this household registration?" Fang Tong glared at him. "My origins are unknown. The prince is willing to help you get this household registration because of your friendship."

Favors are as important as the sky. She didn't expect that Feng Twelve would ask Feng Yunxi for help on her behalf.

"Will there be any trouble in the future if you do this?" she asked with concern.

"What trouble?" Feng Twelve asked back.

Fang Tong hesitated for a moment: "Will this matter become a stain on you?"

Although Feng Yunxi trusted his younger brother very much, how could he not have doubts in his heart? If someone with ulterior motives used this to make trouble in the future, it would inevitably be detrimental to Feng Twelve.

Feng Twelve chuckled softly, "When water is too clear, there will be no fish. You should understand this principle."

Fang Tong frowned: "Did you deliberately leave a handle for the prince?"

After saying that, he felt that this conclusion was not so good, so he changed his words and said, "What I mean is that you can do this yourself. You deliberately asked the prince to do it because you wanted him to trust you, right?"

"Yes." Feng Twelve admitted.

Fang Tong lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand. He rubbed the edge of the box with his fingertips twice, not knowing how to respond.

"Sorry for taking advantage of you." Feng Twelve said.

Fang Tong pursed his lips.

"How can it be called using him?" She shook her head slowly and chuckled. "The prince registered my household registration for me, which is equivalent to announcing to everyone that he is my patron. If I encounter any trouble, he will come forward to help me solve it even if it is to avoid getting himself in trouble."

She is the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing. Even if Feng Yunxi doubts her identity one day, she will let him go in order to avoid embarrassment.

But Chapter 12 is different.

He asked Feng Yunxi to help Fang Tong with his household registration. If anything went wrong with Fang Tong, Feng Yunxi would hold him accountable first.

Feng Yunxi was willing to handle the matter for him out of trust, but also because he accepted the leverage that Feng Twelve handed to him.

Fang Tong figured out the twists and turns of this matter, and his mood became even more complicated.

No matter how close the royal family is, it is always inseparable from the maintenance of interests. Feng Twelve did this for the sake of self-protection.

She stared in silence, feeling only heartache and bitterness.

Feng Twelve saw that she was silent and didn't know what she was thinking, but her reaction at this moment was not what he wanted to see.

He tapped his knees twice with his fingers and said, "You should be happy."

Fang Tong glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a false smile.

Feng Twelve was speechless.

He couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking, but he believed that she must be overthinking it.

"Don't worry, the prince understands my intention." He comforted.

Fang Tong chuckled twice: "Yes, you and the prince have a deep brotherly love, of course you understand." It is precisely because he understands that it is even more tragic. Whether it is Feng Twelve or the prince, their identities determine that they are helpless against their will.

Fang Tong suddenly didn't like the capital city so much anymore. This place seemed to be full of flowers and splendor, but it was not free at all.

Feng Twelve heard her sarcasm, but he was not angry. He just said, "This household registration is issued by the court. No matter where you go in the future, no one will doubt your identity."

Fang Tong no longer had to live in fear. She could travel around the world openly as she wished.

"In addition to the household registration, there should be a copy of the pass in this box," Feng Twelve said, "Open it and take a look."

His tone was like coaxing a child, revealing a lot of patience, which made Fang Tong feel a little embarrassed.

She had just received such a big gift, and she should thank him.

She opened the box as instructed, took out the household registration booklet and the residence permit, checked them one by one, and finally put them back and whispered to Feng Twelve, "Thank you."

Feng Twelve smiled and said, "From now on, you will be completely free."

There was pure joy in his eyes, and the way he looked at her seemed like he was completely happy for her, but there was also a hint of imperceptible regret in that joy.

Fang Tong didn't understand where the regret came from. She hesitated and said, "Feng Twelve, do you have any wishes?"

If he had, she was willing to help him achieve it.

Feng Twelve looked into her eyes for a long time, then smiled faintly, "No."

"You're lying." Fang Tong said softly, "You've done so much for the prince, how could you not have a wish?"

After today's trip, she could see that there was more than just a brotherly friendship between Feng Twelve and the Crown Prince. It was more like they had reached some kind of consensus, which allowed them to work so closely together.

Feng Twelve's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly said, "My wish is the same as yours."

"what?"

"The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous."

Fang Tong listened to Feng Twelve's answer and remained silent for a while. He then said angrily, "You are just trying to fool me again."

This was her wish that she had told him when she came in the morning, but he used it to shut her up.

Feng Twelve saw that she was angry, but smiled slightly.

His smile seemed a little relaxed, like the fleeting sunlight outside the window.

"Really." He said seriously, "Only when the world is peaceful can the people of Dazhao live and work in peace and contentment."

Fang Tong couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, and was too lazy to argue with him. He placed the wooden box on his knees with care and touched it carefully again and again.

"I am now a citizen of Dazhao." She said softly.

Feng Twelve looked at her and said, "Yes, you are also a citizen of Dazhao now."

So he didn't lie, he really wanted peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

Fang Tong heard him repeating himself, and felt that he was just parroting. He raised his eyes and said, "As a citizen of Da Zhao, may I ask the Twelfth Prince a question?"

Feng Twelve smiled indulgently: "You say."

"Just now in the Prince's Mansion, you and the Prince talked for so long, why didn't you two mention the Five Mountains Man?"

This is what she has always found strange. According to Prince Jing Feng Yuyang, after the literary gathering in Linshui County, Qingluan Hongxiao was taken in as a maid by Wuyue Shanren. From that time on, she began to doubt Wuyue Shanren's identity.

Qingluan and Hongxiao would not be with him for no reason. There must be some connection between these three people.

The doubts that she could think of were certainly not something that Feng Twelve and Feng Yunxi could have failed to think of, but today these two did not express their opinions to the people of Wuyue Mountain, which showed that something was fishy.

Feng Twelve listened to her question and nodded gently: "Because compared to him, there is someone more suspicious."
