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

Chapter 188 Justified Reasons
While Feng Yunxi was shocked by the scene before her, Fang Tong made another move.

She patted Feng Yunxi's knee with her paw, signaling him to concentrate, and then scribbled on the ground: [The Wuyue Mountain Man is in the palace. ]

Feng Yunxi's face suddenly became serious.

"Where is he?" he asked.

Fang Tong shook his head.

【Disguised as a eunuch, he disappeared near Jiying Palace.】

Feng Yunxi pondered for a moment.

"I understand. Could you please give this half of the military token to Shi Yue?"

He picked up Qin Shiyue's jade pendant from the ground and put it in his arms, then pushed the half piece of the military token in front of Fang Tong, "Tell her what you just told me."

Fang Tong tilted his head, raised his paw and wrote: [A handwritten letter. ]

It is not difficult to hand over the military token to Qin Shiyue, but the follow-up is difficult.

She didn't know what Feng Yunxi's plan was, nor was she sure that she could make Qin Shiyue completely let down her guard on her own, so she asked Feng Yunxi to write a letter to Qin Shiyue.

Besides, she has a hidden purpose.

The handwritten letter means evidence in black and white, and she wants to see Feng Yunxi's thoughts from it.

The fact that he dared to give her the letter showed that he really believed in her.

Feng Yunxi paused slightly, knelt on one knee, and looked into her eyes.

"Twelve believes in you, and Shiyue believes in you too, right?"

Fang Tong sat up straight and meowed solemnly.

Feng Yunxi smiled.

"Then I also believe you."

He said "I" instead of "I".

The prince can call himself "Gu". His answer not only represents Feng Yunxi, but also represents his identity as the prince.

After he finished speaking, he shouted to the outside of the hall: "Someone come!"

As he spoke, Fang Tong had quickly climbed onto the pillar.

Someone outside the hall soon responded and came in.

Feng Yunxi said, "Bring me a pen and paper. I'll write a note to my father and you can deliver it for me."

The visitor hesitated.

Feng Yunxi said: "Why don't you do it?"

After all, he was still the prince. After hearing this, the visitor did not hesitate and quickly brought a set of four treasures of the study.

Feng Yunxi wrote a note in front of the other person, and after the ink dried, she carefully folded it and handed it to the person.

"It should be sent to Father immediately."

Seeing his serious expression, the man did not dare to be negligent and left the hall as he was told.

Fang Tong saw that there was no one else in the hall, so he slid down from the pillar.

She fell to the ground and saw Feng Yunxi picking up the pen again and finishing the work.

There are only a few words on the paper -

The hermit of Wuyue entered the palace, hoping to rescue the thieves and protect the emperor from danger.

Feng Yunxi did not avoid her when writing this. Fang Tong glanced over and immediately understood what he meant.

Feng Yunxi wanted to mobilize the guards of the Prince's Mansion. Without a legitimate reason, he would be charged with forcing the emperor to abdicate and treason, which would ruin his reputation regardless of his success or failure.

The appearance of Wuyueshanren provided a perfect excuse.

Holy danger, protect the emperor.

Even if such a letter falls into the hands of others, there will be no fault in it.

Feng Yunxi folded the letter, tied it to the military token, and presented it to Fang Tong.

"Thank you."

Fang Tong meowed, picked up the military token and left.

As soon as she ran out, she heard Feng Yunxi calling her from behind.

"Snowball."

Fang Tong stopped and looked back at him.

Feng Yunxi's face flickered in the flickering candlelight. "Tell Shi Yue that if the timing is not right, don't force it. We still have a chance."

Fang Tong wagged his tail.

With her around, there is no such thing as a bad time.

She climbed onto the roof of the palace and looked out in the night, taking in most of the imperial palace.

The roofs of the palaces, which are lined up one after another, lie in the darkness like the bulging body of a giant beast.

She took one last look in the direction of the Ye Ting and ran towards the Prince's Mansion.

In the Jiying Hall, the song ended and the crowd dispersed.

Only leftovers were left in the empty hall; the ministers had already bid farewell to the emperor and left the palace.

The emperor sat on the throne, holding the note presented by Chao En, his eyes gloomy.

"Bring King Jing here."

Chao En said, "Your Majesty, if what the Crown Prince said is true, Prince Jing's accomplices sneaked into the palace, and I'm afraid they don't just want to rescue Prince Jing. I dare to ask Your Majesty to retreat temporarily. There are imperial guards in the palace, and they can capture Prince Jing's accomplices."

The emperor sneered: "I am not afraid of them, just a bunch of rebels. I want to see where that Wuyue Mountain man came from and how he dared to get involved with the Third Brother."

Seeing that his persuasion was of no use, Chao En sighed softly and gave a few instructions to the eunuch who was accompanying him, asking him to dispatch more imperial guards to Jiying Palace.

"Let them hide in the dark and don't alert the assassins," the emperor threw away the note, "and then go and call the prince."

Chao En asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what is this..."

The emperor snorted coldly: "He was imprisoned in a side hall. How did he know that the rebels had entered the palace? He must have spies in this palace."

Chao En suddenly realized: "But why did the prince expose his spies?"

The emperor smiled and said, "He wants to surrender to me."

He stepped down from the throne, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the palace servants coming and going in the hall, with a hint of coldness on his lips.

"I don't care whether he really surrenders or is just pretending. I want him to understand that this world is my world, and this palace is my palace. After a hundred years, I can give all of these to him, but as long as I am still here, he has no other choice but to obey."

"Your Majesty loves me deeply and criticizes me severely." Chao En followed behind him, "I'm sure the Crown Prince will understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

The emperor said calmly: "If he still can't figure it out, I don't have to have this prince."

Chao En was startled: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor raised his hand to interrupt him: "In just a few months, first Prince Ping, then Prince Jing, these unfilial sons have caused so much trouble, how could the court officials not know about it. I am willing to give the prince a chance because I don't want people to be unsettled and the court to be unstable, but I don't have only this one son."

No one dared to respond. Chao En lowered his head and stood aside respectfully.

The emperor added: "I have indulged him too much over the years. It is time for him to know that the emperor is the father and the emperor is the father. I am the emperor first and then the father."

Fang Tong jumped over the wall of the Prince’s Mansion and saw Qin Shiyue’s figure at a glance.

Surprisingly, Qin Shiyue had changed out of the Crown Princess's dress, put on a military uniform, and sat in the courtyard.

The maids beside her were all wearing swords and armor, looking heroic.

Fang Tong landed in front of Qin Shiyue, jumped onto her knees, and spit out the military token in his mouth.

When Qin Shiyue saw her, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

When he saw the half piece of military token, his joy suddenly turned into solemnity.

She took out the letter and read it, then pondered for a moment.

"Does the prince have anything else to say?" she asked the kitten on her lap.

The kitten raised its paw and scratched her arm.

Qin Shiyue guessed its intention, put his hand in front of it and opened his palm.

The next moment, she opened her eyes wide.

The kitten's cold claws stroked back and forth on her palm. Qin Shiyue carefully identified the strokes.

"Follow?"

The kitten nodded and continued to write the second word.

By the time it was finished, Qin Shiyue's heart was like a raging storm, with huge waves rising.

The kitten brought her the military talisman and Feng Yunxi's handwriting, which was already miraculous. She never thought that it could write.

"Adapt to circumstances?" Qin Shiyue confirmed with it.

The kitten meowed, retracted its claws, and sat upright on her lap.

Qin Shiyue looked into its amber eyes and felt that they were familiar, but she had no time to think deeply. She stroked its forehead and said to the maid Lanxi, "Go and get the things in the secret compartment at the head of my bed."

The thing in the secret compartment was none other than the other half of the military token.
