despair, we haven't reached the point of no return." Feng Lingxi instructed her deputy to watch over them, then said to General Zhang, "General Zhang, come with me."Wind Ling-xi brought General Zhang...Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at Feng Aotian's current state. There was a sense of trying to cover up something. Before she could say anything, he spoke first.

"No matter what you ask, I don't know anything."

Feng Aotien finished speaking, stood up, "I believe in rest, you go."

"Let's not talk about my mother. Let's talk about Feng Yi Xuan, he's at my residence now. Though he has amnesia, he's very happy. You are his father, don't you want him to be happier"

Feng Aotian's back stiffened, although he didn't turn around, it was obvious that Feng Lingxi's words had touched him.

"I know you think I'm a heartless woman, but have you ever considered that if we don't stop Feng Yi Xuan, he could become just like the current emperor Is that what you want your son to become"

Feng Lingxi said this when, Feng Aotian's back reacted, turning to look at her.

"He is my son, everything I do is for his good, it has nothing to do with you."

"Why is it not a matter"

Windling gave him a withering look. "He targeted me at every turn back then. If it weren't for his targeting of me, how would I have ended up fighting him to this point And you too, since you aren't my father, why didn't you tell me sooner That way, there wouldn't be so much hatred between us."

Feng Aotiantian gave her a glance. “My business, it has nothing to do with you.”

It doesn't matter if she doesn't know, anyway, she knows that over the years because of Feng Aotiān, she has really endured and been angry many times. She certainly doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again.

"I really don't want to argue, today. Let's just talk, maybe we can work together."

Feng Lingxi's words made Feng Aoti stare at her, "Honestly, I don't have anything to say to you."

"Even if you don't consider your son, besides Feng Yixuan, you still have Feng Yihao as your son."

"Wind Ling Xi, you shouldn't go too far. You've already bought Wind Yi Xuan over, now you even want to scheme against Wind Yi Hao He's just a child!"

Feng Aotian took a deep breath; he didn't want to argue with Feng Lingxi, but because of Feng Yihao, he couldn't help but want to punch her.

He's truly protective of his own, just like a father. He gets angry as soon as it's mentioned.

Feng Lingxi chuckled self-deprecatingly, she truly didn't know why she was saying these things to him here.

It's just that I want him to cooperate. With the current situation of the court, Dugu City has no help from court officials. Just wanting to win him over, he reacted this way.

Forget it, her hope was too high. This Feng Aotian is not worth her coming here at all.

"Since you say so, then I might as well have never come." Feng Lingxi got up and left. Feng Aotien was a little surprised. He thought she would still find an excuse to talk to him, but just like that, she left, which made him quite bewildered.

"My Queen, why do you speak to him so much Is it necessary"

Of course.

Feng Lingxi let out a long sigh, "It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. The court hasn't sent any news yet. Feng Aotian is in our hands. If we can tame him and use him for us, it would be beneficial for Dugu City."

"You're scheming for the Prince like this, but he doesn't even know," Xiaoli pouted. "Besides, these are matters concerning the Prince. If the Princess speaks too much, it will only make people dislike her."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at the displeasure in Xiaoli's eyes, and said nothing more.

Before she could go far, Feng Lingxi was stopped by the pursuers behind her.

"Fourth Royal Princess, the General Zhen Guo requests an audience."

"Your Highness, has he agreed to cooperate with you"

Perhaps she had something to say to me.

Feng Ling Xi's smile widened at the corner of her lips. This was quite unexpected. This Feng Ao Tian being able to bring her back, maybe it really was good news.

Back at the inn, Feng Aotian was seen. Feng Lingxi walked over, and surprisingly, Feng Aotian had someone make tea for her. The treatment was quite good.

"After thinking it over carefully, I've realized that I truly don't have any other options. It seems like I'll have to cooperate with you as you suggested."

Instead of fighting a losing battle here, it might be better to bide our time and seize an opportunity. After all, since Feng Lingxi was able to show mercy and let go of Yu Xi, there's a chance she could do the same again and give him a chance.

"That's a good thing, you see."

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "Actually, between us, there's no need to make it a life-or-death situation. After all, now that you know I'm not your biological daughter, I understand your attitude towards me."

Feng Aotian remained silent, lost in thought for a while.

"You should know the reason for my visit. I came for the military power held by the Fourth Prince. Now that you have destroyed the imperial decree, I cannot return and fulfill my duty."

Feng Aotian calmed down and got straight to the point.

Although he knew this was a difficult task, the Holy Order's decree was hard to defy. Moreover, the target this time was Feng Lingxi - they had always been at odds, and he had never won against her.

"You should have known before you came that this imperial decree couldn't survive."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "Over the years, the court has not distributed a single grain of rice to these soldiers, yet they are solely focused on this military power. Do you think they will still obey the imperial edicts The imperial edicts hold no weight for these soldiers. They have been defending the borders, guarding the territory, and suppressing rebellions for the court, but in the end, the court has given them nothing. They eat the food provided by the people and are supported by Dugu City."

In their eyes, there was only Duguo City, no imperial decree.

"If what you say is true, then these soldiers only listen to the Fourth Prince. Doesn't that mean he has 500,000 soldiers at his command here If he wants to, he could simply declare himself king"

Feng Aotian's calculating gaze couldn't escape Feng Lingxi's eyes.

If he had wanted to, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now, retreating here and guarding the borders of Linxi County

Feng Aotien let out a cold snort, "If it weren't for the former emperor assigning Wang Ye to lead troops on campaign back then, how could he have this power of 500,000 soldiers The imperial court wouldn't fear him so much either."

“Don't you also used to command a powerful army Then why couldn't you hold onto your military power Why don't you reflect on it, why can't your soldiers follow you like they followed Dugu City”

Feng Ling Xi's words successfully shut Feng Ao Tian's mouth, he naturally knew why.

He was not as outstanding as Dugu City, nor did he possess Dugu City's sincerity towards his soldiers. He was a general of the court with military command in hand, a general when he held the military command, and just a member of the court when he didn't.

"How do you want to cooperate with me Just say it."

Feng Aotien looked at Feng Lingxi, "For the sake of you letting go of Yu Xi, I will consider it."

I haven't decided yet, I'll let you know when I have.

Feng Aotien's attitude suddenly changed. Feng Lingxi had originally only wanted to win him over, but now that he was truly willing to come, she hesitated again, fearing he might turn on her. She had to carefully consider how to proceed and make him completely submit to Dugu City.'ll figure out what comes next later."This Dugu Yan is truly a worrisome person, she really needs to figure out a way."It's not that simple. If Feng Yuxi truly became empress, the first thing she woul...
