Chapter 18 Staff

Feng Wuhen dragged his tired body into his mansion. These days, due to the departure of the princes, his burden suddenly increased, and the memorials from various places were 20% more than usual, almost exhausting him. These days, he stayed in Fenghua Palace almost every day, and he had never been to this mansion several times.

"Your Highness!" Feng Wuhen was about to rest, but Xiao Fangzi rushed over and muttered a few words gently with his ears.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled. Yes, he never asked about it again after he arranged for Shi Jingqi to do his job last time. I think his master did a bad job. I'm afraid that if Shi Jingqi hadn't felt that he had such kindness to him, he would have left long ago. He stepped into the gate of Mingyuan while thinking.

Shi Jingqi was still thinking about the thick stack of mansions. He had been sleeping all day and night. Although he had never done such an errand, he could not mess up the matter just because of the trust of the Seventh Prince. It just so happened that the emperor's strange decree and the bizarre encounter of the second prince made him seem to have seen something, and he really got some clue.

"Xuchang." Feng Wuhen called softly, but unexpectedly, Shi Jingqi was still thinking hard and did not notice that anyone came in at all.

Xiao Fangzi tiptoed behind Shi Jingqi and patted his shoulder lightly, but he still had no reaction. He was used to being shocked and afraid that something would happen to Shi Jingqi, so he turned to him and shook it. Shi Jingqi woke up at this moment. When he turned around, he saw Feng Wuhen standing behind him with a smile, and stood up to salute.

"Xuchang, there is no need to be so polite if there is no outsider in the future." Feng Wuhen quickly helped him up and instructed kindly, "You can keep the way of etiquette in your heart, and you don't need to be on the surface all the time. Look at your haggard appearance, you seem to have not had enough sleep. How do those servants serve them?" The following sentence was obviously directed at Fan Qingcheng, the general manager behind him.

Before Fan Qingcheng could make a statement, Shi Jingqi rushed to answer: "Your Highness, it's not about General Fan's business! He was fighting at night and then he was so ashamed to be like this!"

Feng Wuhen then noticed the thick stack of things on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little more affection for Shi Jingqi. This person believed in his words, and it seemed worth taking some effort. "What can make Xuchang bet like this is probably not an ordinary thing. Do you have any experience with what happened recently?"

Shi Jingqi nodded heavily and was about to speak, but Feng Wuhen stopped him. He only heard him say to Fan Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, go out first and tell all servants not to get close. Xiao Fangzi, go guard the door!"

After both of them left, Feng Wuhen sat down with relief, his face looked tired, "There is no way, there are too many abnormal things recently, so I have to be careful. Xuchang, tell me, what do you think?" Although he had already noticed some things, he was also very curious about what Shi Jingqi had seen. After all, many people in Beijing, including most princes, are confused, let alone an outsider?

Shi Jingqi looked solemn, "Your Highness, if there is any violation of the prohibition in Shi's words tonight, please understand."

Feng Wuhen's heart skipped a beat. This seemingly unruly scholar could really understand that? But he still smiled and said, "Of course, you are my person, the person who speaks is not guilty. This is not an outsider. How could I blame you?"

"Your Highness, in my opinion, the second highness is definitely not dead at the hands of refugees!" Shi Jingqi's opening words were a shocking saying. If he doubted the emperor's will, it would be a death sentence. But this was just the beginning. Feng Wuhen felt more and more frightened as he heard it. He was in the center and even guessed it could only guess eight points. This person actually got seven points with only these official news. It was definitely a rare talent. If such talents were used by others... a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes, and then it became nothing. No matter what, he is still in his own hands, and it is the best way to put his heart together.

"Xuchang, have you ever leaked these things?" Feng Wuhen said with a blue face, "Have you ever known that if your words just now leaked a little, everyone here will die without a burial place?"

Seeing that Feng Wuhen did not scold him for talking nonsense, Shi Jingqi glanced at him in surprise, and then knew that what he said was probably almost the same. He was happy at first, and then felt a chill. If the prince heard his subordinates' remarks, he would scold him first. However, his every move was beyond his expectations, which made him really feel trembling.

"Does Xuchang know that I had the intention to kill you just now?" Feng Wuhen played with a beautiful jade ball, his face became a little indifferent. "You can start from the details and guess these many things is a taboo for the imperial family. If you are so frank, aren't you afraid that too much will lead to mistakes and cause trouble?"

"Since Shi has returned to His Highness, the scholar has died for his confidant, and he has already put life and death aside. If Your Highness really wants to kill me, there is no need to say it clearly just now." Shi Jingqi's expression was much relaxed. Feng Wuhen could reveal his murderous intent, proving that he truly accepted him. What else should he be afraid of?

"Well, the affairs of the Tian family have always been speculated, not uttered. It's okay to talk between you and me directly, but you must also pay attention to your sense of proportion. After all, there are ears to the walls." Feng Wuhen's face was full of caution, "Xuchang knew that I was more respectful than other brothers in front of my father, just to avoid being suspicious. Unfortunately, all the emperors have left the capital now. Even if I don't want to be the target of public criticism, I'm afraid it's impossible."

"Why don't your highness ask to go to Fujian?" Shijingqihuo De stood up with bright eyes. "The second highness passed away halfway, and the imperial envoy in Fujian has not yet been selected. Your Highness went to comfort him with the name of the prince. If he succeeded, he would win the favor of the emperor and could also relieve others' doubts."

Feng Wuhen did not expect this. Unfortunately, Zuixianglou is his biggest source of income at present. Once he leaves Beijing, it will be even more difficult to return to the center in the future. Besides, if the stall in Fujian is easy to deal with, the emperor will not have a long time to decide whether to give up the candidates. Obviously, he has his own considerations, but these are what Shi Jingqi cannot say in any case. For such a smart subordinate, the best way is to maintain a certain degree of alienation.

"What Xuchang said is a good plan, but I can't help but this matter cannot be said by me, otherwise I will have to backfire. After I think about it, you have spent too much effort in the past few days, so I'd better take a break. I will ask my servants to give you more supplements to avoid losing your health. Well, I must take time to visit the teacher. I have neglected him these days. If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll leave someone else's words."

Shi Jingqi's heart was bright. Feng Wuhen's teacher was Hai Congrui, the son of the Prime Minister Hai Guanyu. It was indeed of great benefit to visit this important person at this moment. Therefore, he did not dare to keep him and sent Feng Wuhen respectfully.
