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

Chapter 53: The Angry Porcupine
"Call me when the doctor comes."

After Feng Twelve finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room without stopping.

Fang Tong was awakened by the pain.

She was dreaming before she woke up.

In the dream, it was still her old room. Fang Xiaohua was lying on the bay window, with her back to her, looking out the window, with her tail held high with the tip drooping a little, swinging in the air intermittently.

Outside the window was an endless night of darkness. The sound of raindrops hit the window, leaving behind a few transparent water marks.

Fang Tong felt strange. There was no light in the room, but she could see Fang Xiaohua clearly.

The fat cat in front of her seemed to hear her question, turned its head and opened its mouth to her.

Fang Tong didn't hear the cat's meow, but she woke up with a pain on her forehead.

She opened her eyes, stared at the curtain above her head, and moved her eyes blankly.

"woke up."

Someone next to me clapped his hands, and his shout was filled with joy.

Who is this person? Why does it sound like a street performer shouting "good", with a bend in the middle of the two words?

She was about to turn her head when she heard someone say, "Don't move."

She was very familiar with this voice, it was Feng Twelve.

Fang Tong suddenly opened her eyes wide. She remembered that before getting off the car, Feng Twelve asked her if she would pretend to faint, and then... then she felt a pain on the side of her neck and knew nothing.

She glanced sideways.

The first person that caught her eye was an old man wearing a Confucian hat. He was sitting beside the bed, twirling his long beard with one hand and placing the other hand on top of her forehead, as if he was holding something and twisting it gently.

Fang Tong felt a stinging pain on his forehead; it was a needle.

This old man is most likely a doctor, and he is giving her an injection.

There were two people standing behind the old man. One of them was tall and had long legs. He was Feng Twelve. Although she had never seen the other man's face, judging from his official uniform, he must be Gao Tiancai, the magistrate of Linshui County.

"Girl?" Gao Tiancai leaned forward and gave her a kind smile.

"What's your name, young lady? Where are you from?" he asked in a low voice.

Fang Tong looked at him, then at Feng Twelve who had a calm expression on his face.

She frowned and groaned softly: "It hurts... I have a headache..."

Gao Tiancai cried out "Ouch" and looked at the doctor: "What happened to her?"

The doctor pondered, "This girl must have been hit hard and fainted. As for the headache, it may have been caused by the heavy blow, or she may have had this disease before."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the woman on the bed speak in a trembling voice: "Who are you? Where am I?"

Gao Tiancai quickly comforted her: "Miss, this is the Linshui County Posthouse. Don't worry, we are not bad people. What is your name? Why did you meet bandits?"

"Mountain? Bandits?" The woman looked confused, as if she was thinking hard, and frowned again, "I, I don't remember, I met bandits?"

She suddenly stood up, shocking Gao Tiancai so much that he stepped back, and then he saw her fall down softly.

"I don't remember who I am. Who are you?" She looked at him in horror. "I, I want to go home. Where is my home?"

She shrank back, as if she was extremely frightened, half-supporting herself, her arms trembling slightly: "Help... Help!"

“Stop, stop, stop, stop shouting.” Gao Tiancai waved his hands repeatedly and looked at Feng Twelve in embarrassment. “Your Highness, look at this girl…”

Feng Twelve took a step forward and looked into Fang Tong's eyes: "We are not bad people. The doctor is treating you. Lie down first."

Fang Tong looked at him for a while, then slowly fell back on the pillow. She pulled the quilt up to cover her chin, and looked at the few people timidly.

Gao Tiancai secretly clicked his tongue twice. Look, this guy is good-looking and good at talking. He scared the girl to scream for help as soon as he opened his mouth. When the twelfth prince opened his mouth, he lay down as soon as he was told to. Feng Twelve looked at the doctor: "What's going on?"

The doctor knew that this was a noble man, so he did not dare to offend him. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, this man's symptoms seem to be amnesia."

"Amnesia?"

"That's right," the doctor said. "This girl was unconscious at first, and when she woke up she complained of a headache and couldn't remember anything from the past. She probably suffered a brain injury."

"Is there any cure?" Gao Tiancai interrupted.

The doctor replied carefully: "Don't be impatient with this disease. You have to take medicine and recuperate slowly. When her mood calms down, there may be a chance of recovery."

"Then take the medicine first." Gao Tiancai said, "Such a pretty girl, the clothes she wears are not bad, she must have been pampered at home. If a good daughter is lost, her parents will be worried. We need to make her remember something as soon as possible so that the family can be reunited."

"Yes." The doctor stood up, "I will prescribe the medicine now."

He walked to the table and wrote a prescription. Gao Tiancai followed him and shouted loudly so that Feng Twelve could hear: "Don't be stingy with the medicine. Our county government can afford it. Just cure the patient."

As he said this, he glanced towards the bed again and thought, at least as long as the Twelfth Prince is here, this girl won't get any more problems.

Fang Tong lay on the bed, looking up at his forehead.

Even though she couldn't see, she could imagine that there must be a whole row of needles stuck in her forehead, which was painful and swollen and extremely uncomfortable.

Just as he was trying to roll his eyes upwards, he saw Feng Twelve's face appear above him.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Fang Tong glared at him.

Is there any need to ask? He knocked me unconscious for no reason, and then I was stabbed awake by someone. Why don't you give him a needle in the head?
She raised her hand and touched it upwards to see how thick the needle was.

Before he could touch her, his wrist was grabbed.

"Don't move around," Feng Twelve said, "If you touch the needle, you'll become stupid."

Fang Tong's arms stiffened and he glared at him angrily. Why didn't he tell him about such a dangerous thing earlier!

Feng Twelve stuffed her hand back into the quilt.

"Since you don't remember anything, just follow me first." He said expressionlessly, "When you remember, I'll send you back."

Gao Tiancai came back with the prescription and just happened to hear these words. He looked at Feng Twelve in surprise.

Is the twelfth prince going to recruit people?
He glanced at the bed and nodded secretly. The girl was quite pretty and a hero who saved the beauty. No wonder the twelfth prince couldn't let her go.

He thought he saw through everything, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Highness is really kind-hearted, but this girl has just been injured, I'm afraid she can't serve Your Highness well."

"Who wants her to serve?" Feng Twelve's face was stern. "Since I saved her, I have to be responsible for her safety. If something unexpected happens again, wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts to save her?"

Gao Tiancai opened his mouth in silence.

"I am sorry for my rudeness, Your Highness." He swallowed his saliva and laughed, "The prescription has been written, I will order someone to get the medicine."

After saying that, he didn't dare to stay any longer and grabbed the doctor and walked out.

Fang Tong listened to the footsteps of the two people going away, and wailed in her heart, why did they leave so soon? She still had a needle on her head.

There was a slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other beside the bed, and Feng Twelve's figure appeared in her eyes again.

He looked down at her.

Fang Tong felt like a porcupine in a restaurant's water tank, being mercilessly stared at and picked on by diners.

She glared at him more angrily.

But Feng Twelve raised the corner of his mouth and laughed softly.
