Chapter 123: Let's Make a Deal
After being released from house arrest, Feng Qingyan still stayed in the Guogong Mansion most of the time.
She saw her goal very clearly, there were only three things to do to stay in the capital, one was to avenge Qingtao, the second was to avenge the queen, and the third was to find out the truth about Lin Yitang's death.
However, as soon as Mama Song died, all the clues were broken, and Feng Heng did not allow her to investigate, so Lin Yitang's case could only be shelved first.
There is a solution to the first two things, but the time has not yet come, and she still needs to wait.
Since the day the emperor became seriously ill, Feng Qingfang has been waiting for news at home, occasionally wandering the streets, or going to the prince's mansion to meet Mu Liancheng, and there are no other activities.
That night, when Feng Qingfang was about to wash, there was a knock on the window.
If you don't go through the door and knock on the window, you must not be an ordinary person.
Feng Qing thought about it wildly, and still went over and opened the window.
"How are you?" Seeing the smiling face outside the window, she frowned and immediately closed the window.
Jiang Mingche propped up the lattice window with his hand and said hurriedly: "Frivolous, don't be like this, I'm just here to see you." β
"I told you not to come to me a long time ago, what else are you looking at? Hurry up or I'm going to call someone! Feng Qingfang pushed the window door hard, trying to shut Jiang Mingche outside, but he was too strong to push at all.
"If you don't care about reputation, it's okay to call it, anyway, I want people to think that something happened between you and me."
"You...... Shameless! Feng gritted his teeth and scolded.
Jiang Mingche took advantage of the moment when she was distracted by anger, and suddenly let go.
The window was slammed shut, but Feng ignored the other placeβthe door.
After she sealed the window, there was a "creaking" sound, Jiang Mingche pushed the door and walked in easily, then crossed his arms and said with a smile: "It's easier to go through the door." β
Feng Qingfang suddenly became angry, especially when he saw his face that was smiling brighter than the sun, he wanted to beat him up.
It's too much of a deception!
"Who allowed them in? Get out! β
She didn't say a word and pushed Jiang Mingche out, but her strength was too small for Jiang Mingche, as long as he had a little luck, he could stand in place like Mount Tai.
After tossing for a long time, Feng Qingfang found that the other party had not moved, scolded something in his mouth, and simply gave up.
He poured a cup of herbal tea to quench the fire, and then asked impatiently, "What do you want?" β
Jiang Mingche walked to her side, lowered his eyes and looked down at her side face, his eyes were full of warmth and affection.
"I said, just to see you, I've never been willing to hurt you in the slightest, you know, no matter how indifferent you are to me, my heart is the same as always, what else can I do to you?"
Hearing this, Feng's heart trembled.
These words are indeed beautiful, especially from the mouth of a beautiful man with a pleasant voice and a handsome appearance, which is even more moving and difficult to resist.
However, after being used and deceived by him several times, in front of him, Feng Qingfang's resistance was much stronger than before.
"How your heart has nothing to do with me, I said I don't want to see you again, please don't bother me again, okay?"
"Reckless ......"
Jiang Mingche had expected that Feng Qingfang would say something that hurt him very much, and he had been mentally prepared before coming, but his heart still hurt terribly.
"What do I have to do to make up for my previous mistakes, you tell me, whether it is on the knife mountain or down to the sea of fire, I can do it, you tell me!"
"A mistake is a mistake, and it can never be made up."
Feng turned his back to him and said in an extremely cold tone.
"Even if you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I won't look back."
"You...... Alas......"
The two of them stood one after the other, falling silent.
After a long time, Jiang Mingche was finally ready to leave.
"You rest early, I'll come to see you another day."
What he didn't expect was that when he walked to the door and was about to go out, Feng Qingfang suddenly shouted, "Wait! Jiang Mingche, let's make a deal! β
Jiang Mingche turned back, and a trace of curiosity suddenly appeared in his heart.
"What deal?"
Feng replied lightly and seriously: "You help me avenge Qingtao, and I will go with you." β
"You mean, you want me to help you get rid of Feng Qingwu?"
"Why, you have a vast magical power of the young master of the Worry-Free Gate, can't you do it?"
Jiang Mingche thought to himself, Feng Qingwu is also Mu Beituo's side concubine, and it is said that she is still pregnant now, he is cooperating with Mu Beituo, if he kills Feng Qingwu at this time, Mu Beituo will definitely not let him and Wuwumen go.
However, Mu Beituo values the child in Feng Qingwu's belly, not her, and it's not that he can't find a way.
"Okay, I can promise you, but at least wait another month or two, okay?"
Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I've been waiting for so long, and I'm not in a hurry for a month or two, as long as I can take revenge, however, I don't want to wait too long, I really don't want to stay in this place for too long." β
Jiang Mingche walked over again, his gaze softening.
"That's why you chose to trade with me?"
"Of course, what else could there be?" Feng Qing replied without thinking about it, "Jiang Mingche, I went with you to pursue freedom, at least go with you, I don't have to be like now, like in prison." β
"Besides, I can still be friends with you, as long as you don't talk about the past."
Jiang Mingche couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stalking is also useful, at least now that their relationship has shown signs of improvement, even though it is a deal, he also feels relieved.
As for whether to start again, he can take his time, and when they leave the capital in the future, they will fly away, and there will be a chance to save her heart.
"Okay, then we'll be friends."
After speaking, he suddenly changed his words, "However, I also have a small favor that I need your help with." β
"What's the busy?" Feng looked at him strangely.
"Can you go to the crown prince to inquire about the emperor's condition?"
"Inquiring about the Emperor's condition? What are you asking about this for? Feng Qingyan immediately showed a suspicious expression, and the two watery eyes stared at each other, full of inquiry.
"Do you have any plans?"
Jiang Mingche smiled and said, "I, a person in the rivers and lakes, what plans can I have against the emperor?" It's just that there is a person in the Sanssouci Gate who has been caught in the prison, and he can't think of a way to save him for the time being. β
"After thinking about it, I plan to rob the prison on the day of the emperor's funeral, but in that case, I must first estimate how long the emperor will live, so I can prepare."
Feng was skeptical: "Is it really just that?" β
"Yes, that's all." Jiang Mingche put on sincere eyes and looked directly at her.
After hesitating for a while, Feng Qingfang finally nodded.
"Okay, then I'll help you ask tomorrow."
Jiang Mingche held her hand excitedly and said gratefully, "Frivolous, thank you." β
Feng squinted at him for a moment, pulled out his hand, and said lightly: "No need to say thank you, it's a good deal, and I should have done something for you, so it's fair." β
"Frivolous, you ......"
"Okay, it's not too early, you, you go back, I'm going to rest."
Jiang Mingche understands the truth that he can't get an inch, and if he wants to be as close as he was before, it will always take a while, and he can't be in a hurry.
So he smiled and said, "Okay, you rest early, I'll go." β
When he opened the door and went out, and closed the door again, the room fell silent for a moment, and Feng Qing looked back at the door, his expression became complicated.
On the afternoon of the next day, Feng Qingmad really went to the Prince's Mansion and chatted with Mu Liancheng for a long time, and when he returned to the Guogong Mansion, the sun had already set.
After dinner, she sat in the room drinking tea and reading a book, while waiting for Jiang Mingche's arrival.
It was late at night again, Jiang Mingche entered through the window, still wearing a black robe, and walked lightly.
Before he could speak, Feng Qingfang opened his mouth first: "I have inquired with the crown prince, the emperor is terminally ill, the oil is exhausted, and the imperial doctor said that I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the end of this month." β
"Did the prince really say that? Did he say it himself? Jiang Mingche asked in a suspicious tone, his eyes lit up quickly.
Feng Qing frowned wildly, and said unhappily: "Anyway, that's how I listened to him, believe it or not." β
"Frivolous, I didn't question what you meant," Jiang Mingche was busy explaining, "I'm just worried that if the prince doesn't tell you the truth, it will be a big deal when the time comes." β
"What's the big deal?" Feng Qingfang's eyebrows were raised, and her beautiful face was full of doubts, "You shouldn't be lying to me, right?" Could it be that you are not trying to save your protΓ©gΓ© at all, but have other plans? β
"Of course not." Jiang Mingche shook his head in denial, looking very calm.
"Frivolous, don't guess, wait for me to finish things, and then help you take revenge, let's leave together."
Feng Qingfang shifted his gaze and sighed, "I really hope that day will come as soon as possible." β
Yes, it will come soon, frivolous.
Jiang Mingche thought silently in his heart.
After getting the exact news, Mu Beituo finally made up his mind to start an incident.
After deliberation, he decided to raise troops in three days' time.
But until then, Mu Beituo still has one more thing to do.
So that night, he called Helan Chi over alone.
"Your Highness summoned your ministers late at night, I don't know what's going on?"
"You and Jiang Mingche have known each other for a long time, right? Or maybe the king should say, you are the one of the Sanssouci Gate! β
Mu Beituo's tone was affirmative, indicating that he had already determined the matter.
Helan Chi also knew that there was no point in denying it, so he nodded and admitted.
"Yes, the minister and he have known each other many years ago, but the minister is just the eyeliner of the Sanssoucian, I provide them with the secrets of the imperial court, they provide me with money, and I am not a doorman of the Sanssoucian."
"Lord Wang, the minister and the worry-free door are just reciprocal benefits and mutual use, you are the one who swears allegiance to the minister, and the minister has no two hearts for you."
Mu Beituo hooked his lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"In that case, if the king tells you to do something, you shouldn't refuse, and you won't secretly tell Jiang Mingche, right?"
