Chapter 364: Fengqi sycamore
Feng Wu also felt that Wang Hao's idea was really inexplicable. Regardless of whether the crown prince liked Su Qing or not, that was the wife he was currently marrying. Who would be sick enough to let another man sleep with his wife? Do you wear a hat on your head?
Feng Lisheng didn't pay attention to these words at all, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he said: "Is your master very good at formation?"
"Yes, the master was nearly a hundred years old when he died. According to him, in the early years, many people from the outside world wanted to invite him to come out of the mountain, but he was devoted to his experiments and had no interest in answering."
"I went to Qishan this time, and encountered some resistance. The formation in the mountain is a bit special, and only the person who set up the formation can untie it..."
He explained the structure and layout of the formation in detail, Xing Qi was slightly dazed after hearing this, and asked Feng Lisheng to bring a pen and paper.
Feng Lisheng drew down the template of the formation, Xing Qi took it over, and carefully sketched a few strokes on the paper. The two discussed the formation.
Shen Mingjiao can't understand the knowledge in these professional fields, she can only hear the general idea. The formation method set up by Qi Shan is equivalent to the Tibetan poem lock made by the Mohists. Those characters can be arbitrarily composed into a sentence, and only those who know the correct sequence can unlock it.
Shen Mingjiao listened for a while, and couldn't help staring at Xing Qi's face, there was no deliberate imitation at the beginning, but when she looked again at this time, she found that he and the prince were not exactly alike.
The prince's expression is more gentle, making people think that he is a good-tempered person at a glance. But with the same pair of eyes, Xing Qi's eyebrows are a little cold, and there is a cynical sense of world-weariness.
And she always felt that Xing Qi's facial features were more delicate compared to her—she definitely didn't preconceive it because she hated the prince.
However, thinking about what Xing Qi said just now, the crown prince seemed to hate him very much, Shen Mingjiao confirmed the guess in her heart that there must be a story about Xing Qi's life experience.
Taking advantage of the emptiness of the discussion between the two, Shen Mingjiao, who was really uncomfortable, leaned closer to Feng Lisheng's ear and whispered:
"I heard that when the emperor's wife gave birth to the prince, she was actually pregnant with twins. Is it possible..."
Feng Lisheng tilted his ears uncomfortably, and frowned at her: "Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing her beautiful eyes looking at him without blinking, it seems that she will keep looking at her like this unless she gives an explanation. Feng Lisheng had no choice but to explain in detail:
"Although the sister-in-law was pregnant with twins, the imperial doctor said that the other child was too weak and might die young. Later, the sister-in-law was startled on the way back from offering incense at the Daxiangguo Temple, causing The emperor's wife gave birth prematurely, so she had to go to another hospital to give birth."
When Shen Mingjiao heard that the startled horse on the way to Shangxiang caused dystocia, her heart was moved. When she heard that she had to give birth in another hospital, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, and instantly smelled the smell of conspiracy.
Feng Lisheng looked at her like this, without even thinking about it, he knew what his princess was thinking about in his heart?
Straightforwardly, she blew out her imagination: "Sister-in-law Huang brings her own people with her, so there is no possibility of holding the wrong child! And I brought someone to help bury the child who died young."
Shen Mingjiao was a little disappointed when she heard the words, and argued unconvinced: "Don't be so absolute about everything, who can guarantee that the people around the emperor's sister-in-law are not half-hearted!"
Feng Lisheng didn't want to talk about these nonsensical things with her, so he just said with a blank face: "Everything needs evidence,"
Shen Mingjiao didn't want to pay attention to him, and continued to stare at Xing Qi's face. In the eyes of someone on the side getting colder and colder,
What did she think of? Suddenly his eyes lit up. The person who looks like the prince is not only Xing Qi, but also the uncle Wei Che!
It's just that Wei Che's temperament is too indifferent, and he is not in the capital all year round, and his whereabouts are erratic, so it is easy for people to ignore his existence and even his appearance.
So many people subconsciously forget that the crown prince is not like Jing and Disheng, but like Uncle Guo Wei Che.
But this is nothing, as the saying goes, nephew Uncle Xiao.
She suppressed her excitement and asked Xing Qi: "Is there a piece of paint on your arm?"
Wei Che said before that before the young master of the Wei family lost, he accidentally knocked over a box of paint in Wei Che's study. The paint is a little special, and it can only be washed off with special water.
Xing Qi nodded after thinking for a while, and raised his right arm. "When I was young, there was indeed a clear gray mark here. I always thought it was a birthmark, until I went up the mountain with my master, and once when I was fighting with a wild beast, half of my arm took off the skin. After the injury healed, the mark was gone. .
I was sad for a long time, and the master who woke up told me that it was not a birthmark, but a kind of pigment rich in Jiangnan. "
Shen Mingjiao's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "You may be the lost child of Uncle Guo's family."
She explained the reason of the matter carefully, and Feng Lisheng couldn't help but look serious after hearing it: "What you said is true?"
He is one of the very few people who knows that the child in Uncle Guo's family may still be alive.
"By the way, I remember Uncle Wei sent me a letter more than half a month ago, telling me about Mrs. Xia Wei's recent recovery. I will write a letter and you send it to Uncle Wei."
After all, Wei Che and Mrs. Wei are traveling abroad, and their whereabouts are uncertain, but Feng Lisheng will definitely find someone.
"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but it's unnecessary,"
When mentioning his family, Xing Qi's tone was very calm, with neither expectation nor resentment.
Maybe when he was a little beggar, he would long for his relatives, and want to be loved by his parents like other children, but after those years of being tortured by his master, he was arrested and sent to the East Palace, where he endured the torture of heart-addicted voodoo all day long. torment.
He has experienced the pain in this world to the extreme, and he no longer cares about his family or his own life.
Shen Mingjiao thought that he was afraid that his hope would fail, and he would be even more disappointed when the time came. I regretted it for a while, I shouldn't have mentioned it rashly without getting confirmation, so I comforted:
"Don't be too psychologically stressed. By the way, you said that you remember that your name is Xiao Qi, and the young son of Uncle Wei's family is called Wei Qi. Qi and Qi have the same pronunciation. There is no such a coincidence!"
Thinking of something, she said with a surprised smile: "Danxue named you Fenghuang before, but I thought it was really ugly! Now that I think about it, Fengqi Wutong is also a good fit!" Maybe this is somewhere in the dark fate.
When Gu Danxue was mentioned, Xing Qi's cold and undisciplined eyes finally warmed up. He stood up and said:
"I will write down everything I know when I go back, hoping to help His Highness."
However, the crown prince has always been on guard against him, and usually sent people in the East Palace to watch him carefully, so the news he knew was limited, and many of them were speculated based on the usual clues.
After saying this, he looked at Feng Lisheng and asked, "Will your Highness spare the life of the prince because of the friendship between uncle and nephew?"
