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

Chapter 7 Who is stealing his clothes?

Fang Tong knelt on the ground with his legs together, raised his hands to cover his chest, and glanced around nervously.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the tent except her and an unconscious wounded person.

Her heart beat rapidly as she listened to the sound of patrolling footsteps coming from outside the tent.

She had to find some clothes to put on first.

Her eyes fell on the wooden frame at the end of the couch, on which was draped a brand new indigo robe, presumably Feng Twelve's clothes.

Without giving it much thought, she reached over, grabbed her clothes and hid in the corner.

The man's robe was very large and was an ancient garment, so it was not easy for him to put on. Fang Tong was fumbling around in the corner, but he didn't know that the man on the couch had already opened his eyes.

Feng Twelve was always alert, and even when he was drowsy he never forgot to listen to the sounds around him.

He vaguely noticed that there seemed to be one more person in the tent. He forced his heavy eyelids open and looked towards the place where the noise came from.

In the dark corner, a slender figure is looming.

The long black hair was spread out behind the man, and his bare back was exposed from time to time as he moved.

Judging from her figure, it should be a woman.

But where did the woman come from in his tent?

Feng Twelve raised half of his body and was about to take a closer look, but he suddenly felt dizzy and fell back onto the pillow, unable to hold on any longer.

The darkness completely submerged him, and before he lost consciousness, he only had time to think of one thing: the woman seemed to be stealing his clothes.

Fang Tong finally tightened his belt and stood up barefoot.

She tugged at her sleeves, looking sad.

This dress was worn to pieces by her. Not only did it not fit her, it would be difficult for her to go out in this state.

There were guards standing outside the tent, how was she supposed to explain her origins?

Fang Tong looked around and found a dressing table on the wooden washstand.

She lifted her trouser legs, tiptoed to the mirror, and looked at herself in the dim light.

This sight startled her.

The face in the mirror looks exactly like her in modern times.

So there is a reason why she traveled through time. Is this a parallel world or her previous life?
Fang Tong patted his face, put away his messy thoughts, turned his head to look at the tent door, and recalled the assassin's skills in his mind.

After thinking for a long time, she sighed in disappointment.

With Bingqi's skills, he only had a 30% chance of escaping from here. Now that she is the one doing the work, her martial arts skills seem to be rote and she is completely unable to use them with ease. The hope of escaping has been reduced by half to only 1.5%.

Fang Tong rubbed his face and tried to calm himself down.

Before she could come up with a better idea, the door curtain suddenly moved and someone stepped into the tent.

Fang Tong was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He rolled on the ground and hid behind the low couch.

The person who came in was Crown Prince Feng Yunxi, followed by a medical officer who was telling him about Feng Twelve's injuries.

"His Highness has lost too much blood. He has taken medicine. He is afraid that he will sleep for a night. He may feel better tomorrow." The doctor said, "The arrow wound on his shoulder looks scary, but it did not hurt the bone. On the contrary, the claw wounds left by the tiger on his chest are more dangerous. If they were half an inch deeper, it would injure his heart and lungs. Even if he survives, his life may be shortened."

Feng Yunxi came to the couch and frowned before he opened his mouth.

He walked around the couch, picked up a robe from the floor, and put it back on the rack: "Why did Twelve's clothes fall here?"

Just as he finished his words, a snow-white kitten emerged from the pile of remaining clothes.

"Meow."

Fang Tong looked at him innocently.

She didn't understand why her body kept changing. She was a human just now, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a cat. But fortunately, she turned into a cat.

Feng Yunxi was startled when she saw the kitten, then chuckled, "Why are you here? Shi Yue is looking for you everywhere."

Fang Tong ignored him and ran straight to the tent door.

Feng Yunxi had no choice but to call the guards outside the tent: "Follow this cat and send it back to the Crown Princess."

Fang Tong was running on the road, his little heart beating fast.

It was a close call. If she hadn't suddenly turned back into a cat, she would have been caught as a spy. If the four assassins had identified her, her fate would have been even worse.

Thinking of this, Fang Tong felt fortunate that she could escape danger every time she turned into a cat, as if she had divine help. It would be great if she could control this transformation herself.

She originally thought that once she turned into a cat, she would never be able to turn back into a human, but she didn't expect that she could turn into both a human and a cat. Unfortunately, no one told her the trick, so she could only figure it out on her own in the future.

As soon as she ran back to the Crown Princess's tent, she heard a few retching sounds from inside.

"Crown Princess, drink some water quickly." The maid Lan Xi brought the cup of water to Qin Shiyue.

Qin Shiyue reached out to take it, but before it touched her lips, she burped again and quickly covered her mouth.

Fang Tong looked at her and blinked. This scene seemed familiar. Her former colleague had the same morning sickness.

The maids quickly called in a doctor, and the result of the pulse examination was as expected, the Crown Princess was pregnant.

Feng Yunxi had already rushed back after hearing the news. After hearing the medical officer's report, she stood there stupidly for a while, and then her eyes lit up.

Regardless of the presence of people around, he grabbed Qin Shiyue's hand and shook it hard twice.

Qin Shiyue saw that he had been holding back for a long time without saying a complete sentence, so she chuckled.

She asked everyone to leave, and then asked Feng Yunxi, "Are you stupid?"

Feng Yunxi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I'm just too happy, but also a little worried." He stared at Qin Shiyue's belly, his voice excited, "You will be less likely to get gossip if you are pregnant, but now is a time of trouble, and I'm afraid I can't take good care of you."

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Shiyue raised her eyebrows. "There are so many people in the mansion, how can it be your turn to take care of them?"

"You understand what I mean." Feng Yunxi said seriously, "Take a rest first. I'll go check out the doctor's prescription and then report the good news to His Majesty."

Qin Shiyue held him back and said, "King Ping just filed a complaint against you tonight. If you go and say that I'm pregnant now, wouldn't it make people think that you're trying to get away with it? It's better to wait until you return to the capital in two days, then you can bring it up again."

"The enclosure is not suitable for nurturing a baby. I will ask His Majesty to send you back to the capital tomorrow."

Feng Yunxi went as soon as he said he would. Qin Shiyue looked at the curtain falling behind him, shook his head, got up from the couch, and picked up the kitten from the nest.

Fang Tong lay obediently in her arms, raised his face cooperatively, let her scratch his chin lightly, and deliberately made a snoring sound.

Qin Shiyue looked at the kitten's comfortable expression and said enviously, "You are so good. You don't have to worry about anything."

Fang Tong narrowed her eyes and sighed silently in her heart. She was also very worried. The matter of turning into a cat and then into a human had not been sorted out yet.

The next morning, just after everyone had breakfast, the emperor's reward arrived.

The old eunuch Chao En came in person to deliver the oral instructions: "Crown Princess Qin has been married to the Crown Prince for five years. The couple is deeply in love and finally conceived a child. This is truly a blessing. I grant you a pair of jade bi, a hundred gold and silver items, three thousand pieces of silk, one hundred and twenty hectares of good farmland, and the Crown Prince will have an additional one thousand households."

Fang Tong was lying in his nest, dozing lazily, when he suddenly heard so many rewards and pricked up his ears.

She was calculating for the Prince's Mansion in her mind. Silk, fertile land, and fiefdoms were all real money. The Emperor had given so many rewards to the Crown Princess just because she was pregnant. If the child was born, he would surely reward her again.

According to the custom of the Jokhang Dynasty, if the child is a boy, he will be the eldest son of the crown prince. If the crown prince successfully succeeds to the throne, the eldest son will be the next heir to the emperor.

It is really enviable to have such a prosperous and flourishing situation. However, the case of Prince Ping's assassination has not been resolved yet, and the emperor is so biased towards the crown prince. Will it make some people jealous and cause trouble?
Fang Tong thought about it and cursed twice in her heart. She would have to settle down in the Prince's Mansion in the future, and she couldn't curse her own owner.

Who would have thought that before half a day had passed, just at noon, trouble really broke out.
