Chapter 18: The Staff
Feng Wuxian dragged his tired body into his mansion, these days, due to the departure of the princes, his burden has suddenly increased, and the twists and turns in various places are more than usual, almost exhausting him. These days, he has stayed in Fenghua Palace almost every day, and he has never entered this mansion a few times.
"Your Highness!" Feng Wuxian was about to go to rest, when Xiao Fangzi hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.
He couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled to himself, that's right, after arranging an errand for Shi Jingqi last time, he didn't ask again. Thinking that his master had done badly enough, I am afraid that if Shi Jingqi didn't feel that he had such a little favor to him, he would have left a long time ago, and he stepped into the gate of Ming Yuan while thinking.
Shi Jingqi was still pondering the thick stack of mansion newspapers, he had been sleepless for a day and a night, although he had never done such an errand, but with the trust of the Seventh Prince, he couldn't mess things up. It just so happened that the emperor's strange will and the bizarre encounter of the second prince made him seem to see something, and then he really had some clues.
"Xuchang." Feng Wuxian called softly, but Shi Jingqi was still meditating, and he didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
Xiao Fangzi tiptoed behind Shi Jingqi and patted him lightly on the shoulder, but there was still no response. He had always been startled, for fear that something would happen to Shi Jingqi, so he turned to his eyes again, stretched out his hand and shook it. Shi Jingqi woke up in shock, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Feng Wuxian standing behind him with a smile, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Xuchang, there are no outsiders who don't have to be so polite in the future." Feng Wuxian hurriedly helped him up, and kindly instructed, "The way of etiquette can be stored in the heart, and there is no need to do it on the surface all the time." Looking at your haggard appearance, it seems that you haven't slept well, how do those slaves serve? The latter sentence he obviously said to Fan Qingcheng, the chief manager behind him.
Before Fan Qingcheng could speak out to defend himself, Shi Jingqi hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, it's not about Chief Fan's business!" It's a night battle under his own lights, and it's a shame to be like this! ”
Feng Wuxian noticed the thick stack of things on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little more good for Shi Jingqi in his heart, this person is true to his word, it seems that it is worth spending some effort. "What can make Xu Chang bet like this, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary trivial matter, do you have any experience in recent things?"
Shi Jingqi nodded heavily, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Feng Wuxi, only to hear him say to Fan Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, you go out first, and order all the subordinates not to approach." Little Fangzi, you go and guard the door! ”
After the two of them left, Feng Wuxian sat down with a sigh of relief, his face tired, "No way, there have been too many abnormal things recently, and I have to be careful." Xu Chang, you say, what do you think? Although he was already aware of some things, he was also very curious about what this Shi Jingqi had seen, after all, many people in the capital, including most of the princes, were in the clouds, let alone an outsider?
Shi Jingqi's face was solemn, "Your Highness, if there is anything forbidden by Shi Mou's words tonight, please be considerate." ”
Feng Wuxian chuckled in his heart, this seemingly unruly scholar can really comprehend that? But he still forced a smile and said: "Of course, you are my person, the speaker is not guilty, and this is not the outside world, how can I blame you?" ”
"Your Highness, in my opinion, Second Highness is definitely not dead at the hands of the exiles!" Shi Jingqi began with this shocking remark, he questioned the emperor's will, if it was preached, it would be a capital crime. But this is just the beginning, the more Feng Wuxian listens, the more frightened he feels, he is in the center, and he can only guess and guess to get eight points, this person only relies on these official news to get seven points, it is definitely a rare talent, if such a talent is used by others...... There was a hint of murder in his eyes, and then he became casual again, no matter what, now that he was still in his hands, it was the best strategy to rein in his heart.
"Xu Chang, have you ever leaked half a point about these things?" Feng Wuxian said with a blushing face, "Did you ever know that if your words leaked just now, everyone here would have no place to die?" ”
Shi Jingqi saw that Feng Wuxian did not reprimand him for his nonsense, he glanced at him in surprise, and then knew that what he said was probably not far from ten, and his heart was first happy, and then he felt a chill. Waiting for the idle prince, if he heard his subordinates say such nonsense, how could he reprimand him first, but this master's every move was out of his expectations, which made him really tremble.
"Xu Chang, do you know that I have the intention of killing you just now?" Feng Wuxian played with a delicate jade ball, and his face had become a little indifferent, "You can start from the subtleties, guessing that these many things are already a taboo for the emperor's family." If you say so frankly, aren't you afraid that if you say too much, you will lose and cause trouble? ”
"Since Shi has returned to His Royal Highness, Shi died as a confidant, and he has already put life and death aside, if His Highness really wants to kill me, he doesn't have to say it just now." Shi Jingqi's expression was much more relaxed, Feng Wuxian could reveal his killing intent, proving that he truly accepted himself, what else did he have to fear?
"Well, the matter of heaven has always been speculative, not spoken, it is okay for you and me to say it directly, but we must also pay attention to proportion, after all, the wall has ears." Feng Wuji's face was full of caution, "Xu Changke knows that I am more respectful than other brothers in front of my father, just to avoid suspicion, but unfortunately now that all the imperial brothers have left the capital, even if I don't want to be the target of the public, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”
"Why didn't Your Highness invite yourself to Fujian?" Shi Jingqi Huo stood up, his eyes were blazing, "His Royal Highness passed away halfway, Fujian Qincha has not yet been selected, His Royal Highness will go to appease him with the name of the prince, if he succeeds, he will be able to win the emperor's favor and relieve the doubts of others." ”
Feng Wuxian didn't think of this, but Zuixianglou is his biggest source of income at present, once he leaves Beijing, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to return to the center in the future, besides, if the stall in Fujian is easy to clean up, the emperor will not delay in deciding not to make a candidate, obviously has his own considerations, but these are things that cannot be said to Shi Jingqi in any case. For such a smart subordinate, only maintaining a certain amount of detachment is the best way.
"What Xu Chang said is also a good plan, but this matter cannot be said by me, otherwise it will only be self-defeating. When I think about it again, you have spent too much energy these days, or rest more, I will instruct my subordinates to give you more supplements, so as not to lose your body. Well, I have to take the time to visit the teacher, I have neglected him these days, and if I don't go, I am afraid that he will be discredited again. ”
Shi Jingqi's heart is clear, the teacher without a trace is Hai Congrui, the son of Haiguan Yu Xiangye, it is indeed beneficial to visit this important person at this moment. Therefore, he didn't dare to keep it, and respectfully sent Feng Wuxian out.
