The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

Chapter 182: Deep Grass and Trees

Feng Jiuqing curled his lips and smiled, then stood up and took a long breath, then walked around to the entrance of Fenglu Courtyard, where a servant was dozing off.

After so many years, the servant has become an old servant, and he is still here guarding the door of Fenglu Courtyard. It is really hard for him. Feng Jiuqing does not hate this servant, after all, he is just following orders.

The two proper masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion ordered him not to leave Fengluyuan. At first, the servant turned a blind eye to it, but after he sneaked out and met Princess Lanshu that time, although he was fine, the servant was beaten with twenty boards for failing to keep a good watch.

From then on, he could no longer leave through the door of Fengluyuan. As long as he took a step out of Fengluyuan, he would be beaten by this servant.

If he didn't stop Feng Jiuqing, he would be the one who got beaten, and at that time, Feng Jiuqing had no power and influence, and anyone could step on him. He couldn't get any benefit from Feng Jiuqing, but would be punished because of Feng Jiuqing, and even if he did something to Feng Jiuqing, no one would stand up for Feng Jiuqing.

In fact, this servant was quite good. As long as Feng Jiuqing did not leave Fengluyuan, he never went in to cause trouble for Feng Jiuqing. Even if Feng Jiuqing was caught by him, he would only be beaten and would be in pain for three or four days. He had never broken Feng Jiuqing's hands or feet.

Feng Jiuqing had a slight smile on his lips. He could understand this boy, but he had truly endured all that pain, so he really didn't have much good feelings towards this boy, even though he knew it wasn't the boy's fault.

Feng Jiuqing took a few steps forward and gently pushed open the shaky door.

The servant who was still dozing suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Feng Jiuqing with a bad look on his face, "Who are you! This is not the place for you."

Ah He was shy by nature, and even after being brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he mostly stayed in his room, so few of the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion had seen him, let alone the gatekeeper of such a remote Fengluyuan.

Feng Jiuqing lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, then said softly, "The Prime Minister asked me to come here. If you don't believe me, you can go ask him. By the way, my name is Ah He."

"Ah He?"

The servant frowned. He had never heard of this name before, but seeing that the man was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary demeanor, he did not look like a servant but more like a young master of a family. He did not dare to offend him easily.

But this place was permanently banned by the Prime Minister, and no one was allowed to enter. Although the princess often came here in the past few days, she always went back crying, but the Prime Minister did not order the ban to be lifted.

The servant thought for a moment, then bowed to Feng Jiuqing and said, "Sir, my Lord has ordered that entry is prohibited. I'm sorry, please go back."

Feng Jiuqing smiled and said softly, "Go and inform the Prime Minister and tell him that Ah He wants to go and have a look. Ask him if he is willing to let Ah He in. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility and will never drag you down."

The servant was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't stop this man, so he decided to inform the prime minister as soon as possible.

Feng Jiuqing walked in unimpeded. He hadn't been back for more than ten years, and the grass here was taller than people. When he was here, he almost dug up all the soil and ate it. He ate the grass as it grew, and it had never grown so high.

Feng Jiuqing walked slowly inside, picking some along the way and putting them in his mouth. He was surprised that they were so astringent and bitter. He clearly remembered that they were sweet and delicious. Every time he ate them up before he was full.

As time goes by, the things that were so delicious now seem to be nothing more than bitter and astringent weeds.

Feng Jiuqing shook his head and said to the boy on his shoulder, "The smell of these grasses has changed."

The system said softly, "Ajiu, it's not that the taste has changed, it's just that you're not hungry now and don't need them to fill your stomach. They have always tasted the same."

"is it?"

Feng Jiuqing chuckled, touched the fur of the system, and whispered: "The winter when the nanny was driven out, there was only piled up snow in the yard. It really lived up to the name of this yard. The cold wind kept blowing in, and the windows were all broken. I was too young to fix them at all."

"I could only let the cold wind chill me to the bone. I am actually quite grateful for that palace banquet. If it weren't for that palace banquet that sent me to Suizhou, I would have probably frozen to death that winter."

The system nudged Feng Jiuqing and said, "Ah Jiu, it was all my fault. I couldn't help you at all at that time."

Feng Jiuqing held the system in his arms and comforted it, "Tongzi is already very powerful. After all, the system also requires points, and it is not a charity. You have been deducted three years of bonuses, and I have no tasks to do. The two of us together can't get half a point. You want to help me, but there is no way."

"Ajiu~"

The system rubbed Feng Jiuqing again and was speechless.

Feng Jiuqing pushed aside the dense weeds, walked around to a corner, carefully moved the stones on top, and saw the rags underneath. He suddenly laughed out loud, with a smile on his face, as if he had encountered something great.

"Look, bastard! The copper coin my nanny left for me is still here!"

Feng Jiuqing carefully blew away the dust, then carefully opened the purse that had been torn into rags, and took out five or six rusty copper coins from it and placed them in the palm of his hand.

This was all his wealth at the time, but as soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace banquet, he was packed up and sent to Suizhou, and even his hidden wealth was not taken away.

The system looked at Feng Jiuqing's silly smile and suddenly felt like crying for some reason.

"Ajiu, you are now the Grand Master, not the Lu Qi who died in the courtyard and no one cared."

"Yes." Feng Jiuqing said seriously: "So I have to take away everything I didn't take away before, so that they won't be left alone here. This is what the nanny gave me!"

Feng Jiuqing took out his handkerchief and carefully wrapped the copper coin, then carefully put it in his arms, then clapped his hands and stood up.

He turned and stepped into Fengluyuan's room. There were spider webs everywhere and a thick layer of dust on the table. It was obvious that no one had lived there for many years.

Feng Jiuqing glanced across the room, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "Tongzi, look, the chair with a missing leg is still there! In the past, I was only as tall as this chair, and the nanny always teased me, saying that I looked like a bean sprout, and I became the fourth leg of this chair."

Feng Jiuqing pouted, stood at the place where the chair was missing a leg, and snorted.

"Look, how can your legs be as thick as mine? I am 185cm tall. If I hadn't been hungry when I was a kid, I would have been taller. How can it only support one leg? I can definitely support all four legs of this chair!"

The system was also amused by Feng Jiuqing: "Yeah, our Ah Jiu is worth four."

Feng Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "That's right."

He and the system looked at each other and both laughed.
