Dugu City desire this world.""Your Highness, why have you lost your fighting spirit"Xiao Li was a little confused. This wasn't the princess she knew. Could it be because the princess was afraid"To ha...A flick of the head, a sigh. A person in the world is not their own master, is this court any different
"Has Xi'er told you how to cure the poison within Dugu Xiu and the Empress Dowager"
Dugu City shook his head, "Not yet clear, I'll ask her later."
"Well, it's best to have a good talk with her. She has more concerns now than before."
Du Gu Cheng responded and came to Feng Ling Xi's room. He knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Come in."
"Xier."
Feng Lingxi hadn't slept. She had said she wanted to rest, but in reality, she was having Yinge and the others investigate something. Just as they finished, Dugu Cheng knocked on the door. This all happened within an hour.
"Didn't you say you were tired and needed a rest Why aren't you lying down yet"
"Couldn't sleep, so I got up and did some chores."
Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu City walked in front of her, put away the documents in her hand, and asked, "What did the patriarch tell you You talked for so long"
"Just ask me about the throne, about whether I should be the emperor of this Yuan Dynasty."
獨孤城扯了扯唇，“This throne isn't something we can just take because we want it.”
“That’s just how he is. How could he possibly know how difficult your situation is It's not your turn to take the throne anyway.” There were also two princes, Dugu Su and Dugu Yu, ahead of him. Moreover, Empress Cen had people she favored for the imperial position, and it wouldn’t be him.
He actually still understands.
Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Luo Li and we are actually the same, just complaining a few words."
"Without discussing this, when do you plan to send your mother away I just told Yingba to start making arrangements, and with Luoli's help, once the time comes, you can have Yexi take your mother to Linxi County. As long as we avoid Empress Cen's line of sight, she will be able to arrive safely."
“I plan to probe the situation when I enter the palace these few days and see if I can persuade them to agree to my stationing on the border with an army of 500,000. If Dugu Xiu is truly willing to keep me on the border, then how they stir things up in court is none of our concern.”
Feng Ling Xi thought about it carefully and agreed with Du Gu Cheng's idea.
"If that were possible, it would be best of all. But in this current situation, staying here means being attacked from both sides; there's no point to it."
It's better to spend a few years in Linxi County enjoying the peaceful life. This Dugu Su is eyeing Empress Cen, and sooner or later she will bring her down. Plus with Dugu Xiu's brutality, how long can we stay
Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi's assent and let out a breath, "Then I'll give it a try."
"Shall I expose your amnesia"
“Well, only then can I be more confident. By then, Dugu Su will also find a way to send me to Linxi County, so as not to leave him any obstacles.” Anyway, they all know that they can't take his military power from him. Sending him to Linxi County, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, they shouldn't want to bother him.
獨孤蘇不一樣於他們，至少他不會像那些人那樣，當上皇帝後便要奪走他的兵權。就算想這樣做，也應該有個幾年的緩和期。
"Hearing you arrange it this way, we can almost go back. I miss Wan'er so much."
By the time she gets back, Wan'er will be able to walk.
Feng Ling's smile on her face made Dugu Cheng feel full of guilt. He stepped forward and hugged her, "Xier, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I let you and your mother suffer."
"Now, what use is it to say these things Explain them to your daughter yourself."
Feng Lingxi didn't push away Dugu City. After being apart for so long, she was able to let go like this and embrace each other. She was truly content. At least she knew that what Dugu City did hadn't disappointed her, and what she did hadn't disappointed him either.
Dugu Cheng chuckled, "When we get back to Linxi County, I will definitely compensate you and Wan'er well. And I will never be separated from you again."
"No, there's also Mother."
Feng Lingxi turned around, her lips just touching Dugu City's lips. This instant touch was like igniting the hidden flames in their bodies for a long time. Dugu City's throat was dry and he swallowed nervously. Looking at Feng Lingxi's red lips, he pursed his lips, feeling clueless and unable to move. He couldn't take his eyes away.
"Good."
獨孤城's voice was a little hoarse, he glanced at the door, "Can I sleep in your place tonight"
"Your Highness."
Xiaoli pushed the door open, and Feng Lingxi immediately pushed Dugucheng away the next second, hurriedly tidying her clothes and emotions. She didn't do anything, but there was a feeling of being caught, which made Dugucheng want to laugh a little.
He hasn't done anything to her yet, look at how nervous she is.
It seems that Xi'er still has him in her heart.
Xiaoli walked in and saw Dugu City was there too. For a moment, she forgot why she came.
"Xiao Li, what brings you to me"
Xiao Li only then came to her senses and hurriedly bowed to Dugu City, saying, "I just received news that the fetus in Su Wangfei's womb has miscarried."
"Miscarriage"
Upon hearing this word, Dugu Cheng's brows furrowed noticeably.
"Could it be that he was beaten by Dugu Su"
Feng Ling Xi voiced her doubts, after all, this Phantom Moon was also Feng Yu Xi. There was no need for her to harm her own child. However, it wasn't impossible either, considering that Phantom Moon wasn't the first time doing such a thing.
"The news I received is that... the reason is still unclear."
Feng Lingxi nodded, "You're staring at it. I want to know if this Phantom Moon is one person or two." It didn't matter if it was Feng Yu Xi or Feng Ling Yu, she had to investigate clearly.
"Xier, don't investigate this matter."
獨孤城攔住她，“反正等到我和皇上請旨去臨西縣，蘇王妃的事也就跟我們冇有關係了，我們隻管自己就好。” Translated: 獨孤城 blocked her, "Anyway, when I and the Emperor get an imperial decree to go to Linxi County, Su Wangfei's matter will have nothing to do with us anymore. We just need to take care of ourselves."
"Xiao Li, let's withdraw."
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Dugu Cheng is right, going back to Linxi County, we shouldn't get involved in this mess." As long as they didn't cause her trouble, she wouldn't bother them either, lest it implicate the people around her.
Xiaoli responded and withdrew, only then did Feng Lingxi ask Dugu City, "How confident are you that we can go to Linxi County"
"When I enter the palace tomorrow, I'll say that I've recovered my memory and want to garrison at the border. Empress Dowager Cen and Duke Gu will definitely hesitate. At that time, you just need to have their antidote delivered to the palace in batches, and we can retreat safely."
At this point, he has no other choice but to use this method.
"Dugu Su would definitely agree to my leaving. Once I'm gone, he won't be threatened anymore. He can focus on dealing with Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu." Dugu Su is a smart man; he knows the threat I pose. Without me, he'd act much faster.
"So, according to you, Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu naturally know that after you leave, Dugu Su poses a threat to them." In this way, could Empress Cen agree to Dugu Cheng going to the border
Du Gucheng chuckled lightly, “ Empress Cen wouldn’t be someone who is timid and cautious. Now that her health has improved, the first person she wants to settle scores with is Du Gu Su. Think about it, she dared to confront the Emperor, would she still be afraid of a mere Du Gu Su” Xi'er still didn't understand the arrogance of a strong person.ce' Who knows if you have any feelings for him"The self-evident nature of vinegar, Feng Lingxi was just like that.He didn't really like Du Gucheng and Luo Li being too close. It wasn't that he was a...
