Chapter 18
"I haven't received your letter." Feng Cong said.
Intuition told Yuan Tang that his letter to Feng Cong might have been intercepted, and the person who intercepted the letter was either the Empress Dowager or was related to the Empress Dowager, so he didn't continue talking sensibly.
The sun became a bit dazzling, and after the sun rose, the spring breeze was scorching hot, Feng Cong turned around and put away the debris that had fallen on the ground, and Yuan Tang helped him.
Yuan Tang said: "The queen mother said something to me, let me... look at you."
Feng Cong didn't have any surprises, and said: "You listen to her. Xiao Shanzhi holds grudges. You don't have a backer in the capital. It must be unlucky to be caught by him. With a backer, he will be more jealous."
Yuan Tang felt uncomfortable: "Then what about you?"
"Me?" Feng Cong said, "I can't help you, I have no power and power, I can't do anything, even if you are bullied by him in front of me, I can't do anything."
Yuan Tang said: "I'm not asking you to help me, I'm asking what do you think?"
Yuan Tang wanted to find clues from Feng Cong's expression.Feng Cong has changed a lot this year. Not only has he matured and grown taller, but his voice has also deepened, and his expression and attitude have also changed a lot. He seems to be careless, but there is something hidden in his eyes that people can't understand.
Yuan Tang asked: "Have you had a good year?"
Feng Cong turned his head to look at Yuan Tang's face, and after a while, he sighed helplessly: "The little general still has so many eyes."
Only then did Yuan Tang feel that the person in front of him had a familiar shadow, and he said: "I don't want to help the queen mother spy on you, you can tell me what you can say, well, if the queen mother wants me to do something for her, I will tell you too." You." Yang Feng Yin Yin, who can't, he really wants to play tricks.
Feng Cong hung all the brushes on the pen stand, tapped the jade pen holder lightly with his fingers, and said, "Speak less in the future, you can do whatever you want with me, and be more cautious when you go outside, but you have enough mind, and you don't need to be special. Be careful. Follow me when you go out."
When Yuantang agreed, he immediately showed a big smile, and then glared, "Why do you always say that I have a lot of heart, I was wrong for taking you away from Jucheng without asking you, but I also want to take care of you... ...Healing your wounds." Yuantang still has no confidence in this matter, but he absolutely does not admit that he has too many thoughts, thinking that he suddenly fell from a peaceful age to a world full of wars, and when he came, he was called a general and had to defend the city. Is it easy?
"You want me to help you fight the war." Feng Cong leaned on the bookshelf and folded his arms, smiling lightly.
His mind was broken, and Yuan Tang lost his arrogance in an instant, but he still said: "I thought about it, but! I didn't intend to force you, I just wanted to make more friends."
Feng Cong suddenly approached Yuan Tang, his pupils seemed to catch the sunshine of April outside the house, he stretched out his hand to pinch Yuan Tang's cheek, and said lightly: "Got it." Then he passed Yuan Tang, rolled up the scrolls on the ground and put them back bookshelf.
With a "pop", the empty cup in Yuan Tang's hand fell, but luckily it was a bamboo cup and it didn't break.
Yuantang's frantic voice came from the room: "Don't pinch my face!" Maturity is an illusion, and pinching your face is too childish.
The next day was early in the morning again, Yuan Tang brought some clothes with him into the palace, and the palace servants from Kangxin Palace picked him up at the side door.Normal men are not allowed to enter the palace, neither Yuan De nor the servant followed Yuan Tang.
Later, Feng Cong told the Queen Mother that he still wanted an extra guard, and transferred Yuan De to the Kangxin Hall.
Yuan De was quick-witted and had a high level of force. With him around, Yuan Tang felt more at ease.
Yuan Tang lived next door to Feng Cong, and at first he was a little excited, but at night he squeezed into Feng Cong's room to talk to him, but Feng Cong didn't chase him away, maybe he knew that Yuan Tang would not be able to get rid of him for a long time, so he didn't bother to chase him away .
Yuan Tang was most concerned about Feng Cong's life this year, and when there was no one at night, he asked, "Why didn't the Queen Mother send you back to Shangyun, because... still want to kill you?"
Both of them took a shower with their hair loose, and sat side by side on the couch. Feng Cong blew out a few candles, leaving only one by the wall, and pulled off the bed curtain.
"He's always wanted to kill me." Feng Cong said, "As for the Queen Mother, it's probably because of my father...or he's afraid that I'll run away again."
The light of the fire penetrated the bed curtain and became faint, unable to imprint Feng Cong's expression.
Yuan Tang didn't dare to speak out his suspicions about the Queen Mother rashly. After all, he didn't know much, and Feng Cong didn't seem to be unaware.
He asked: "The queen mother treats you well, how are you doing in the palace?"
Feng Cong said with a smile in his voice: "How can she treat me badly? If I need food and food, can I wear clothes? Little general, do you think I look like I am suffering? Don't worry, for my father's sake, she will not will treat me badly."
The place where Feng Cong lived, food and clothing, did not seem to be treated badly, Yuan Tang said in a muffled voice, "I'll just ask."
Feng Cong said: "She always gave me things in Shangyun before, just for the sake of meaning, it wouldn't be so bad. If it wasn't for her, my uncle would have killed me long ago."
Yuan Tang couldn't help asking: "Since...you are still concerned about the Queen Mother, why did you send someone to Shangyun to deliver the decree?"
"He doesn't want to keep me anymore." Feng Cong said affirmatively, "He must have regretted letting me live and grow up, and regretted killing me before I died."
Feng Cong's tone was too calm, Yuan Tang's heart suddenly pricked, he felt that what he said should not be said, not because of spying on the secrets of the palace, but because of Feng Cong.
He was curious about why he asked Feng Cong such a question.
Feng Cong noticed his silence, and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub his hair, and said, "Okay, little general, you can ask anything you want, there is nothing you can't say, you can read with me now, and some things are not good." You will know sooner or later, why don't I tell you, we both know the bottom line, so that you won't be tricked and hurt me."
The words were disgusting, but Feng Cong didn't seem to be afraid of being implicated by Yuan Tang at all.
To Yuan Tang, Feng Cong was a mystery. When he met in Jucheng, he was different from ordinary people. Tang is even more unbelievable.
He was full of mist, as the son of the former prince, he hid in a small border town, and his escape experience was very complicated.
He was a bit of a loner, but Yuan Tang couldn't tell, he was attracted to him, even though Feng Cong didn't accept him later.
Yuan Tang could feel Feng Cong's kindness.
Probably because of this kind of kindness, like now, Feng Cong said disgusting words, but actually condoned them.
Yuan Tang also wanted to reciprocate his kindness.
Yuan Tang crawled on the soft pillow and said in a low voice, "I've always wanted to ask you a question. If I hadn't brought you back to Zerou, where would you like to go after recovering from your injuries in Jucheng? Hmm... If you don't want to answer, you can be a I didn't ask."
Feng Cong lay down with his eyes closed, and after a while he said, "I want to go to Yaojing, the capital of Beicheng. I lived there with my father and my mother. My mother's family may still be there."
"Then what about Nanxia?" A member of the royal family actually wants to leave the motherland, and no one will believe it.
"What should I do?" Feng Cong straightened his upper body.
Yuan Tang was taken aback, and suddenly understood that the Nanxia royal family was not within the scope of Feng Cong's consideration. He was a superfluous person to the Nanxia royal court. The emperor thought he should not exist. No worries.
Yuan Tang then changed direction and said, "I mean what to do with Third Brother Shen, he will definitely be worried about you, and the queen mother probably doesn't want you to leave either."
Speaking of Shen Jingxuan, Feng Cong was also a little hypocritical: "Shen Jingxuan's temper should have lasted for several years, and he is still angry now. That's just how he is."
Yuan Tang was sure that Feng Cong didn't think much about Shen Jingxuan when he left, no wonder Shen Jingxuan got angry later.
"As for the Empress Dowager..." His voice suddenly became deep, and he said to Yuan Tang, "No matter what she says or does in the future, don't easily believe her, understand?"
The relationship between Feng Cong and the Queen Mother is not what it seems on the surface. Yuan Tang nodded seriously, but also worried. Feng Cong thinks that the Queen Mother is not someone you can trust, so isn't there danger around him? What happened to him this year? over here.
"It's all my fault," Yuan Tang said, "I didn't let you go."
Feng Cong was a little funny: "It's been so long and you still remember this, hey, I just... remind you, don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. But it's my fault."
Feng Cong said: "My luck was like this. I had already walked out of Jucheng, but I met Hu Sihan leading troops here. I walked all the way in the mountain trails. I didn't inquire about the news. If I had known, I would not have gone to Jucheng."
Yuan Tang heard that his journey was so difficult, and he didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, don't think about it any more in the future. You have kept this thing in mind for so long. You are such a soft-hearted person. Well, go to sleep, and we can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say." Feng Cong blew out the candle, pulled up Jin was wrapped around Yuantang.
Yuan Tang was already sleepy, and suddenly thought of another question, and he was a little unwilling to fall asleep, and said, "Why did you help me defend the city at that time?"
If Feng Cong hadn't reminded Yuan Tang to surrender, Yuan Tang probably wouldn't have noticed Feng Cong, and wouldn't have taken him away later.
Feng Cong said with a smile in his voice: "Still asleep, what are you thinking about? What's the point of breaking the city? Maybe everyone won't survive."
Yeah?With Feng Cong's skills, it shouldn't be a problem to find the escaped self-insurance office before the city is broken.Yuan Tang thought in a daze.
Feng Cong didn't explain any more, and Yuan Tang fell asleep after a while.
After entering the palace, Yuan Tang's status was the seventh-rank prince's attendant. From the palace to the school-age princes, there were one or two attendants, literature companions, and some were even accompanied by attendants.
Some of them are descendants of rich families, and some are well-learned officials in the imperial court. Among them, Yuan Tang's background is the most prominent, because it is too low.He was the only general, young, with no accomplishments, and was selected by the Queen Mother from Huiwen Hall, and he exuded an unusual aura.
And - he is the prince's servant, but Feng Cong is not the prince. If Feng Cong has the status of a king, Yuantang can be a county king, then it's okay, but Feng Cong still doesn't have a title. "Your Highness Hongyi" and "Your Highness" yelled vaguely.
Feng Cong's residence, Liuxiangju, seems to be empty, but in fact, there are many guards sent by the queen mother stationed there, and most of the palace people here are taciturn and quick to do things, and they don't even make a sound when they are free.
The queen mother did not restrict Feng Cong's actions, and no matter where Feng Cong went, the queen mother would send people to follow her.
Feng Cong let others follow, or turned a blind eye.
The Empress Dowager never looked for Yuan Tang, nor did she ask anyone to inquire about anything, and the surveillance plot did not happen as expected.The queen mother seemed to be really just an old man who wanted to make up for her grandson, personally taking care of Feng Cong's life, taking whatever she wanted, almost doting on Feng Cong.
Feng Cong was also like a spoiled grandson, sometimes he would make some requests that did not conform to the palace rules, such as transferring Yuan De to the Kangxin Palace.Except for the mocking smile on the first day they met, Feng Cong never showed any dissatisfaction.
