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

Chapter 54: Unbearable Temptation
Just laugh, laugh, just laugh. She had been with him for such a long time, but that was the day she saw him laugh the most.

Fang Tong complained in her heart, but saw Feng Twelve reach out and pull out a needle from her forehead.

She was so frightened that she dared not move, and only blinked her eyelids twice.

"Don't touch it." She warned in a whisper that only the two of them could hear, for fear that she would accidentally startle him and make his hands tremble, causing him to insert the needle into the wrong place.

Feng Twelve slowly removed the silver needles from her head one by one and said casually, "I know a little about medicine."

Ghosts believe.

Fang Tong's eyes moved as his arm moved, causing the corners of his eyes to twitch.

She deeply understood what it meant to be at the mercy of others. She wanted to push him away, but was afraid of hurting her head, so she could only hold her breath and let him do whatever he wanted.

Just believe him for now.

Fang Tong comforted herself that they had no grudges against each other and he would not harm her.

Feng Twelve took out all the silver needles, spread them on his palm and gestured to her.

Fang Tong started to have a headache when he looked at the bunch of long needle tips.

She turned her eyes away, raised her hand and touched her forehead carefully, then slowly moved it to the top of her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was not pierced into a sieve.

The corner of Feng Twelve's mouth moved again. She caught his eye and said unhappily, "Laugh if you want to."

When she was a cat, he had seen her in all kinds of embarrassing situations. She even cried bitterly in front of him. Having a head full of needles was nothing. In front of him, she had no image at all.

"Why did you knock me out?" Thinking of this, she lowered her voice and asked.

Didn't he ask her if she could pretend to faint? Why did he suddenly do that?

"I think this is the most convenient way." Feng Twelve said.

Fang Tong gently pressed his aching forehead: "Are you looking for a witness?"

In the car, they discussed how to explain her background to others. She took the initiative to mention that she could pretend to have amnesia. Now that the word "amnesia" came out of the doctor's mouth, it seemed more real.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to hide your true identity in front of others," Feng Twelve neither admitted nor denied. "If you get off my carriage, others won't be able to tell what's going on, but my guards will definitely be able to see something fishy."

"So you knocked me out?" Fang Tong rubbed his neck. "Is my acting so bad?"

"It's okay." Feng Twelve watched her rub her neck until it turned red, "Stop rubbing it, I didn't use that much force."

He was a martial artist and knew the vital points of the human body best. In the car, he pressed the blood vessels on her neck, causing her to temporarily fall into a coma. His attack was not as cruel as she had imagined.

Fang Tong was skeptical: "You rubbed my hair pretty hard."

When she was still a kitten, every time he cleaned her, she would lose a tuft of hair. He didn't think it was too strong, but she couldn't stand it.

Feng Twelve was slightly stunned, probably remembering the scene of him cleaning her before. His eyes flashed and he turned sideways.

"You acted well just now," he said in a deep voice, "You don't have to be so exaggerated in front of others in the future. Just be yourself."

Fang Tong curled his lips.

Is she boastful? She even fooled the doctor and Gao Tiancai.

"I am lying like this now?" she asked, "When can I get out of bed?"

"After taking the medicine." Feng Twelve said, "This is the Linshui County Posthouse. If I'm not here, you should stay in the posthouse and don't go out."

"I can't get out even if I want to," Fang Tong sighed as he looked at the top of the tent, "and I don't have any money."

Not only did she have no money, she also had no shoes to wear. She suspected that Feng Twelve deliberately didn't give her shoes in order to restrict her freedom. It was raining outside, and the ground was full of water. How could she go out without shoes? It wasn't like she was really crazy.

Feng Twelve heard her last sigh and looked at her: "You want money?"

"I want to make money." Fang Tong emphasized, "but you don't want to hire me."

"Wait until I verify your identity, and then we can discuss other things." Feng Twelve was unmoved.

Fang Tong suddenly had an idea: "Have you ever thought about what if you can't find it?"

"Do you hope that I can't find out?" Feng Twelve stared into her eyes.

Fang Tong suddenly had the illusion that her heart was struck directly. She recalled a sentence at an inopportune time: If you tell a lie, you must cover it up with countless lies.

"I certainly hope you find out soon," she replied in a reasonable voice, "so that we can all have peace of mind."

Feng Twelve’s black pupils darkened.

"Perhaps you could continue sensing," he said.

Fang Tong looked back in surprise, what was he sensing?
"Assuming that, as you said, there really is an assassin from the White Bird Pavilion among the bandits who robbed and killed me, you can try to sense why they wanted to kill me." Feng Twelve was suggesting sincerely, "As long as you find the buyer behind the scenes, I will give you a reward."

Fang Tong pursed his lips.

How despicable, tempting her with money.

"Okay." She agreed immediately, "I'll try."

The rain stopped in the evening.

A rainbow appeared on the horizon, and soon another one appeared behind it.

"Two rainbows pierce the sky, this is a good omen!" Gao Tiancai walked into the inn happily, "Your Highness, Prince Jing heard that you were coming, so he asked me to tell him that he is hosting a banquet at Taoranting, and he invites you to come over tonight for a chat."

"Where is Taoranting?" Feng Twelve asked.

"Don't worry, Your Highness," Gao Tiancai glanced towards the next door intentionally or unintentionally, "Prince Jing said that he knew you loved quietness, so he specially selected a place outside Furong Courtyard. Taoranting is the best restaurant in our city, and the view is unparalleled."

Feng Twelve said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.

This time the Crown Prince was on a southern tour, and King Jing's fiefdom, Guzhou, was also on the list of things to be inspected. As the inspector, Feng Twelve was supposed to meet with the officials of Guzhou in advance. This time, by chance, he got to meet King Jing.

His impression of Prince Jing was neither good nor bad.

When he was a child in the palace, all underage princes studied in Guangye Hall. Although Prince Jing Feng Yuyang was a few years older than Feng Twelve, he was born with a disease and grew up thin since childhood. He was very inconspicuous sitting among a group of princes.

Whenever there were martial arts training sessions such as archery and horse riding, Feng Yuyang could only stay alone on the sidelines, watching his brothers fight with envy.

Feng Twelve had no sympathy for him, but he understood that kind of loneliness better than anyone else. Since he could remember, he was always the one who was most isolated.

He also didn't think he was that pitiful, but loneliness was something that didn't exist because of whether he was pitiful or not.

Even the happiest person in the world will inevitably feel lonely sometimes.

But at this moment, Feng Yuyang would definitely not feel lonely.

When Feng Twelve stepped into Taoran Pavilion, he saw Feng Yuyang, wearing a snow-white robe with wide sleeves embroidered with crane patterns. There was a turquoise jade staff beside his legs, and he was leaning against it.

On his left and right were two women, one in green and the other in red, both of them were extremely beautiful.

When Feng Yuyang saw Feng Twelve coming in, he pushed the woman in green on his left and said with a smile, "Don't you want to meet the most handsome and capable young general in our Dazhao? Here he is."
