Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 245 Make yourself smart
At that time, I thought that I was very powerful and could help the prince plan big things. I thought I was that Zhuge Kongming, but I didn't expect that I was just a pawn.

"Master Yong, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said, people come and go in Cuifangzhai, it's inconvenient to talk, why not make an appointment at Wanqing's residence in the afternoon."

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said, Young Master, don't panic. Wanqingju has been safe for a long time. Young Master can go there with peace of mind."

"Why are you doing such a grand ceremony? It's not in the court."

"Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, Feng Yong is a grassroots, and it should be so."

"You call yourself a grassroots, but what you do is the courtesy of a monarch and a minister."

"Although Feng Yong is a grassroots person, she knows that her status is low, but she is conceited that she has some talent. She is willing to be a white-clothed bureaucrat under His Highness's command. That's why she performed this great gift of a monarch and minister. I hope His Highness will not be offended."

"Do you work as an aide here? I am an idler, how can I need any aides? Are you going to teach me how to drink tea and read poems?"

"Your Highness is clear about whether your Highness needs an aide or not. In your current situation, without an aide, you can only drink tea and read poems, read scriptures and practice meditation."

"Are you mocking me?"

"Caomin naturally dare not mock His Highness. However, His Highness is in a hurry, isn't His Highness worried? Not to mention anything else, even now, Your Highness, you are not next to each other, and you are threatened and assassinated by forces on both sides every day. You are an idler, in fact, life is not leisurely, aren't you tired?"

"Then what can I do? I have been born in this emperor's family, can I still get rid of it?"

"It's not impossible, it just depends on whether His Highness is willing."

"Oh? What trick do you have, let me hear it."

"Your Highness's current situation is nothing more than the fact that His Highness is neither close to nor able to see clearly from either side, which is why he has entered this dead end. Regardless of whether His Highness will have the intention to seize the throne in the future, the most urgent task now is to jump out. In this circle, you must first protect your own safety before you can have a future. Therefore, what His Highness has to do now is to take on a job that allows him to get out of the city and show his face. In this way, His Highness can be more stable and practical."

"But such a job, where can I find it?"

"Your Highness should remember the recent disaster relief in Wenzhou, right?"

"There is such a thing, father is still looking for people."

"Although Wenzhou is far away from the capital city, it is a place where merchants must pass through. It is also an economic fortress. There have been many natural disasters this year, and the people are struggling to survive. The Holy Majesty personally issued an order to send people to the disaster relief. It is a big event to show your face. Your Highness is well-known in the capital, but because of his bad background, his mother and concubine are not favored, and he is a bastard, so he is not favored much. It’s a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.”

"That's true, but why did the emperor send me there?"

"Your Highness is confused. On the surface, everyone is vying to go, but in fact, no one wants to give up the capital. Everyone is thinking that if they go there, others will take advantage of the situation to do something. How can they know that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away? So? So there is no such meaning. Your Highness now only needs to go to the Holy One and tell him, and the Holy One will naturally send you there. In the eyes of others, this matter is a thankless thing, but for His Highness, it is a big deal. It's a good thing. Think about it, in recent years, His Highness has rarely shown his face in front of His Majesty. For this disaster relief, His Highness was not afraid of danger and took the initiative to ask for help. This has already left a good impression in front of His Majesty. If he can do it well, His Highness will be in His Majesty's heart. Naturally, his image has changed a little."

"If you don't do this well, you will definitely be punished. But if you do it well, wouldn't you be an open enemy to them? I'm afraid that I will be dead in the wilderness before I return to the capital."

"I wonder if Your Highness believes me?"

"Everything is as His Majesty wishes."

Feng Yong thought about the previous conversation, then looked at Bai Lan in front of her, and smiled faintly: "Do you know what I planned for him that day when I was in Wanqing?"

"Then how do I know?" Bai Lan said with a smile.

"I told him that if he wants to be in the position, he must have some merits. Otherwise, it is impossible to be in the position. I also helped him plan the disaster relief in Wenzhou. Unexpectedly, I was the one who was sent to Wenzhou in the end. You Does this count as self-inflicted?" Feng Yong smiled wryly.

Feng Yong thinks about it, she asks Bai Lan to help her, she also gets Qing Lian, and Xiao Qi even suspects her, but what she did should be on her own in the end.

"You didn't know at the time, it's normal to do that, you don't need to think too much." Bai Lan said with a faint smile: "Besides, now, everything is different, so it's pointless to think about that, isn't it?"

Seeing Bai Lan's smile, Feng Yong thought that at that time, when Wei Huaqing came to see her, she smiled with an unknown meaning.

"Your Highness, long time no see."

"You are free and easy. I heard that you have become a prince."

"Is your highness not doing well? The people of Wenzhou are simple and honest. This time, your highness is on business again, away from the turmoil of the capital, isn't it easy?"

"You are free and at ease, I almost can't come back! You are living comfortably! It seems that you forgot that I was there and almost died!"

"How does Your Highness know that I am comfortable? Could it be that His Highness sent someone to look at it?"

"Of course I sent someone back and sent you a letter!"

"Yes, that's right, the person who sent me the letter made me into this state. Your Highness, I dare to ask you, do you understand the people around you? Or do you think that as long as you live, I will not live?" It doesn't matter, does it?"

"I never said that! I picked the most reliable person around to send me a letter! But you didn't even reply!"

"Oh, the most reliable person, the most reliable person came to kill me twice! The first time I was killed! What about the second time? The little prince blocked the knife for me. You should know what it is like now! This is what you said Yes, the most reliable person? Is this person an undercover agent, or do you just want to kill me?"

"What? Someone I sent killed Luo Qing?"

"Yes, that's what you call the most reliable person! This is what you told me, the most reliable person? The most reliable person came to kill me, maybe it was your order? I'm not afraid at all. What else do you have for me? My thoughts are just that such a sneak attack from behind makes me feel sick. Although I have never personally experienced the royal family’s overt and covert fighting, I know a little bit about it. If you do this, I’m afraid you will lose the royal family’s face.”

"Why do you think I sent someone here? If it is very easy for me to kill you, why do I have to go to such trouble? Besides, if I don't believe you, why would I go to Wenzhou? I am a carefree person in the capital. Isn’t the prince better?”

"Oh, the free and unfettered prince? I'm afraid you don't have the chance to go to this kind of famous opportunity, not because you don't want to go? Are you really willing to be a free and unfettered prince in your heart? If you do, you won't do anything I say. I’m going to Wenzhou! What’s the use of pretending this with me? Wei Huaqing, let me tell you, I knew from the first day you accepted my proposal that you were an ambitious person! Otherwise, how could you be guilty of Yi Guangxing’s evidence? Will you know? How can a prince who is obsessed with women's poetry have evidence that the court does not have? Do you think you can fool everyone like this? Let me tell you, you are also pretending, the more I don't believe it. How could a prince who suffered so many shadows in his childhood be like this? The most ruthless emperor's family, how can you be so sunny? "

"You...I said...don't talk nonsense anymore!"

"Then you tell me, who is it? You have come back well, where are my people? They are all dead, you should give me an explanation, right?"

"Okay, okay, tell me what explanation you want, what explanation do you want? Tell me, I want to hear what explanation you want me to give."

"I just want His Highness to find out who this person is. You said you have killed so many people, so you have to give me an explanation, right? Besides, you sent this person here, and I don't know him, so you have to give me an explanation." Can I explain it to you? You told me about this one thing after another. As your staff, you have to help me find out, right? Your Highness, your master has done it too easily, right? I am here I was killed twice by the same person in bed, don’t you think you should say something?”

"What am I going to say? I don't know about your murder. I didn't know Luo Qing was dead until I came back. I don't know about your murder. Besides, I'll send someone to send a letter , doesn’t mean I sent someone to kill you.”

"Oh, then you told me to call someone you trust the most? You are also amazing, and I am really convinced that anyone you call is someone else's undercover agent. Let me tell you this, you have to investigate this matter for me If it doesn't work, you can see what I can do."

"How do you ask me to investigate this matter? I don't even know who did it. You said it was inexplicable, and I was killed, and then Lao Qi came to rescue me inexplicably, and then you said inexplicably that you were killed by my people, and then I lost my follower for no reason, do you think it's strange?"

"Strange? There are even stranger ones! The Seventh Prince somehow found out my identity! The Holy Majesty confiscated Fengwang Mansion for no reason! I found out who did it, and this person died for no reason, and I was sealed up for no reason. Being crowned king, return his mother to guard Wenzhou! What do you think I should do?"

"I think there is a problem with this matter. Why is it all directed at us? Does anyone know anything? But it shouldn't be. Even if I get closer to you, I don't think what will happen to us. Besides , Fengwang Mansion has been fine for so many years, why suddenly... don't you think this is a trap?"

"Then what? Do you know who it is? I already knew that the person who came was not good, and then? Then I don't know who did it, what do you want me to do? You said that there is no one who is not afraid of standing shoulder to shoulder with the king at all. Are you not afraid of Lord Feng? Can you still play with all these people in the applause? Your Majesty? Does your Majesty need such trouble to get rid of a family? Do you think it is necessary? He wants to get rid of, there are thousands of reasons. Just cut it off, why do you have to do so much?"

"No, my father will never do this, because he doesn't need to do it at all. He is the emperor. Does he need to do this...impossible...impossible..."

"Then you tell me, who has the ability to do these things, you tell me, who is not afraid to stand side by side with the king? Who will deal with Fengwang's mansion casually? You should find someone for me! I don't know you What did you think, but I thought of more than that, anyway, if you think about it, you can help me check it out, and we can take the opportunity to pick off one of your two brothers."

"How do you want to check?"

"It's very simple, you send someone to dig a tomb, and you must let the Seventh Prince see it, attract him to dig it together, and then your people run away as soon as possible. Remember, you must let the Seventh Prince stay thing."

"What kind of tomb? Must Lao Qi dig it?"

"You don't care about this, remember, you must dig, I will give you the address, you remember, you must dig. But before that, you must do one thing first, otherwise, the Seventh Prince will not Follow you……"

"Feng Yong, you are suspected of murdering an imperial court official. Your Majesty is magnanimous, and now I am taking you to the court to confront him."

"Then I have to thank Lord Ron... Take me there, I want to see what crime I want to accuse me of."

"My lord, kowtow to my emperor, may my emperor live long and live forever."

"The bold Feng Yong murdered the imperial court official, are you guilty?"

"His Royal Highness, the Seventh Prince, must be busy with other matters and actually forgot that I was recuperating from my injury. How could he possibly murder an official of the imperial court? This matter of the body can be proven by the imperial physician."

"Hehe, if you want to murder someone, why do you need to do it yourself? Just ask someone. I have already verified that it was done by one of your confidantes, Xiao Qi. Can you admit it?"

"This is even more a fairy tale. Xiao Qi died a long time ago, and now he is probably a pile of dead bones. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince must say that Xiao Qi harmed people. I'm afraid it is a bit unreasonable?"

"Dead? I've had someone check it out a long time ago. Xiao Qi's tomb is a tomb with no corpses at all! You deliberately let Xiao Qi pretend to be dead, so you can get away with it and be your invisible killer, right?"

"It's even more of a joke. Xiao Qi's body has been well buried. If the Seventh Prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone to take a look. It's just that it is a serious crime for this royal son to dig up the grave... This crime... Seventh Prince His Royal Highness may not be able to afford it..."

"Hmph, what can I afford... If I don't find the corpse, then are you pleading guilty?"

"Then it's up to you to deal with it, but what should the Seventh Prince do if he finds the corpse?"

"Then I'll plead guilty and give you an apology... If I find the corpse, I'll let you handle it! Okay?"

"I don't dare to deal with the prince, and I will ask the emperor to return my innocence."

"King Huiwen doesn't need to worry. If the corpse is found, I will make the decision for you."

"Seventh Prince, have you ever found the Clothes Tomb? I know it's a bit remote there, but Xiao Qi likes to be quiet. Please understand, Your Highness."

"Old Qi, have you ever found the corpse?"

"I found... I found it..."
