isunderstood her.""Misunderstanding"Huangfu Qingyun clenched his fists, the anger in his eyes made the Empress feel embarrassed. If Yun'er remembered Feng Lingxi and knew that she had kidnapped her da...Dugu Yu's face was getting worse and worse. Looking at Feng Lingxi's shy appearance, the anger in his heart surged up. How could this be He had received news that Feng Lingxi had strong opinions about Dugu City. Why did it become like this in such a short time

Lu Nianjian saw that Duguyu was angry, so she pretended not to see and said, "Your Highness, what did you just say about wanting to do with Xi'er"

Dugu Yu clenched his fist, a wry smile on his face, "It seems this king is once again late, what a pity."

"Thank you for your kind affections, Your Majesty. However, some things truly depend on fate. My younger self and the Crown Prince simply haven't reached our destined time."

Lu Nian glanced at Feng Ling Xi, "You're right, aren't you"

Feng Lingxi stiffly nodded, looking into Du Guyu's eyes filled with anger. This big brother was truly like a tiger whose fur had been pulled out—he hadn't seen Du Guyu getting angry, but he was still provoking him, truly living on borrowed time.

Dugu Yu stood up, "This king still has some things to attend to, so I won't disturb you."

Feng Lingxi hastily got up, but Lu Nian stepped forward before her, saying, “Your Highness Prince Yu, let me see you off.”

Lu Nian gave Feng Lingxi a look, telling her to stay behind. She sent Dugu Yu to the gate of the Lu mansion before saying, "Your Highness Prince Yu, my younger sister is ignorant and if she has done anything to offend you, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against her."

"Young Master Lu, what do you mean by that"

As expected, things didn't go as planned. Even the way he was addressed changed. He was just "Brother Lu" a moment ago, but now he's "Young Master Lu."

"Little sister and Prince Chen reuniting is truly not what I hoped for, but alas, she likes him. Had it not been so, I would have agreed to today's events concerning King Yu as well."

“I truly like Xi'er, and I don't advise her to have been the princess of the fourth brother. Even though the fourth brother treated her this way, she was still willing to stay by his side. I am truly heartbroken.” Du Guyu's words revealed forbearance, disappointment that the plan had failed naturally made him angry, Du Gucheng's actions were indeed swift.

The Empress Dowager was still too late, it seemed. Looks like she could only take the throne by force.

Dugu Yu nodded and mounted his carriage, departing.

Feng Lingxi saw that Dugu Yu had left, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Big brother, what did you say to him"

"This King and the Empress Dowager must be in cahoots."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Grand Empress Dowager"

"Are you sure" This Empress had asked Dugu Yu to come find her, wanting to marry her. To put a green hat on his own son, this Empress is truly a mother like no other in the world.

"Can't you see it yet You truly believe that Dugu Yu has a special affection for you and wants to take you as his consort It's merely because the Empress Dowager can't sever your connection with Dugu Cheng, so she thought of letting King You intervene. Otherwise, what do you think would have happened"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, and for the first time, she found him quite smart.

"Think about it, how could Wang Yù have reached his position under the emperor's nose Who supported him back then and opposed the prime minister It was none other than the current empress. And since the prime minister belonged to the emperor, Wang Yù naturally became a pawn of the empress. Without the empress's backing, would he dare be so arrogant"

"Could it be... that Dugu Cheng is the emperor's biological son"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, truly unable to believe that the Empress Dowager would go so far as to separate her and Dugu Cheng by having Dugu Yu propose. What did she think of Dugu Cheng Was he her son

"Son"

Lu Nian let out a cold snort, her voice dripping with disdain, "Since she ascended to the Empress Dowager position, she's already lost the son named Dugu Cheng. As long as they have power and are useful, obedient, anyone can be her biological son."

Feng Lingxi was shocked beyond words, she couldn't believe that someone could go to such lengths for power and status, especially a woman who was once so rational. If it weren't for Lu Nian telling her, she wouldn't dare believe it.

“The reason I just said that so decisively was to prevent Dugou Yu from finding an excuse.”

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, as if acquiescing to Lu Nian's words.

We have to make haste, get things done here and go back. She's been targeting you like this, it’s easier to dodge a bullet than an arrow. We need to hurry back to Xiguo, only there will we be safe. If we ever need to come back, we will.

"Alright." Feng Ling Xi this time was truly much more compliant. Lu Nian glanced at her, "When Dugu Cheng returns, you ask him yourself. The Empress Dowager likely made things difficult for him today. Also, tell him about what just happened with Dugu Yu. We need his cooperation."

"Okay."

"Miss, if you were to return to Xi Gu Guo, what about the mistress"

Xiao Cao heard Lu Nian say a lot about getting the young mistress to leave this place. The madam is still in Yao Clan, so could it be that the young mistress doesn't care about her

“After I go back, I’ll discuss this with my father. The Yao clan isn’t somewhere just anyone can barge into; one careless move could mean death, and besides, since Xier’s mother has been taken in, the Yao clan will surely inform Xier, after all, Xier still has something they want in her hands.”

Lu Nian saw through it and analyzed it, which made Xiaocǎo agree.

"That's right."

"Big brother, today I and Dugu Cheng went to see Luo Li, he didn't admit that letting Wan'er go to Yaozu was a sacrifice. We have to find a way to keep Wan'er by our side, we can't let the people of Yaozu watch her."

Feng Lingxi said, "Moreover, my mother asked Xiaochao to tell me to recognize you as my father."

“Can we be acknowledged as brothers now” Lu Nian’s eyes lit up instantly. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, he excitedly rushed forward and hugged Feng Lingxi, “That’s great, from now on you can really call me big brother! I’m so excited, I’ll write a letter to my parents right away and tell them.”

Lu Nian turned around excitedly and was about to leave. Feng Lingxi hurriedly called him, but unfortunately, Lu Nian walked too fast and bumped into a servant before disappearing in a flash.

"What a goofball."

Xiaocao watched Lu Nian leave, "Miss, are you sure he'll listen to me if he's with me"

"Why not Don't look at him like that, he's actually very gentle."

"Tenderness"

Xiaocǎo's mind flashed with Lù Niàn's gentle and considerate appearance, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Miss, I'd rather find a husband myself. Your older brother is too much for me to handle."

She doesn't like those effeminate men, what a gentle fart. Isn't it simpler to just be straightforward

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "It's too difficult."

How should I tell Dugu City what Dugu Yu said Should I repeat what Lu Nian just said How will Dugu City view me if I do

Is your waist not hurting anymore

"Miss, they are calling for you."

The little blades of grass watched the two identical children walking towards them, smiled brightly at them and waved their hands. They were so cute and adorable, they must be the young miss and master.

"Siqi, Siyu."

Feng Lingxi walked past and, seeing Feng Siyu covered in sweat, she took out her handkerchief to wipe him. Feng Siyu walked past his mother and stood before Xiaochao, "Xiaochao, my name is Feng Siyu, I'm my grandmother's grandson. I want to ask you, would you like to go with me"

"Hang out with me"

Little Grass looked at Wind Lingxi, "What does he mean"

"I need someone by my side, always with me. I like your personality and you're also very skilled in martial arts. If we were together, we could learn from each other."ry.
