Chapter 1010: Metamorphosis 84

planned to take the blame, never expected it to implicate the young master of the Shangshu Mansion. All those young masters he befriended were sons of prominent officials. If they were all dealt with..."For now, I'll leave the Yao Clan's affairs to him. And this time, thanks to his reminder, otherwise if I continued to investigate, I was afraid I would cause a big trouble." Feng Lingxi's expression was slightly solemn, "Don't talk about these things, after returning, rest well."

Dugu City looked at Xi'er, unwilling to mention more, and didn't ask any further.

"Soup."

Wan'er's childish voice came, reaching out towards Feng Lingxi. This action shocked Feng Lingxi greatly, and even Dugu Cheng beside her was taken aback.

"Xier, Wan'er wants you to ladle the soup for her."

Feng Lingxi hurried to take the bowl and ladle soup for Wan'er, offering it to her. However, Wan'er didn't accept it. She looked at Feng Lingxi and said again, "It's hot, blow on it."

Okay, there you go.

Feng Lingxi blew the soup little by little to cool it down and fed it to Wan'er. Watching Wan'er open her mouth to drink the soup, a smile couldn't be hidden on Feng Lingxi's face. All the words she had said before were forgotten.

With just one sentence from Wan'er, Feng Lingxi immediately laughed gleefully and fed her soup, cooling it for her. There was an indescribable joy on her face.

獨孤城 hasn't seen Xi'er smile this happily in a long time. Looking at Wan'er's well-behaved appearance, his eyes were full of relief. After all, she was his own daughter. How could he possibly not love her

If Wan'er could call her "mother", Xi'er fears that all her worries would vanish.

"Fluffy."

Wan'er pointed at the chicken in the pot and shouted to Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi didn't say a word and pulled down a drumstick to give her, feeding it to her with carefulness mixed with unconcealable joy.

Feng Lingxi had never imagined that Wan'er would act coquettishly with her, and she couldn't resist the little girl at all. Looking at her chubby cheeks, Feng Lingxi felt that everything was worth it.

Nobody dared to disturb them, sitting on the side and eating.

"Little Li, how did you do that You're amazing."

Ye Xi excitedly gave Xia Li a thumbs up, his smug expression making Xia Li roll her eyes at him, "What's it to you"

Of course it has to do with me, you are mine...

Before Ye Xi could finish, Xiao Li's warning stare stopped him. Seeing his instantly wilted appearance, Xiao Li felt she might have overreacted a bit. The princess was right; Ye Xi wasn't actually that bad.

"My lord."

Ye Xi was called out on her way, and after a while, she came back. She walked to Dugu City's side, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words. The smile on Dugu City's face gradually disappeared.

"What's wrong"

Feng Lingxi passed the bowls and chopsticks to Xiao Li, asking softly, "When Ye Xi was speaking just now, did you notice that Dugu City frowned slightly Although it was only for a moment, she didn't miss it with her eyes."

The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left. The King of Su sent word through me, asking if I would return to the capital to attend to the Empress Dowager.

"Will you see a doctor The King of Su asked me that."

Dugu City nodded, "That's right. However, King Su is indeed clever, knowing to have this king convey his meaning."

"If the Empress Dowager were gone, this wouldn't be as he wished. Why would he still send word asking if we will return to the capital"

Feng Lingxi's expression was slightly cold. "This Dugu Su is indeed a good actor. When the Empress Dowager agreed to let you come to Xixian County, she should have known that this would be her fate today. Her own son refused to save her at the moment of death. One can only say that she failed as a person."

"She still yearns for the treasures of the Yao Clan."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "It's okay, she's gone, so the Yaozu's treasure won't be mentioned again."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Not necessarily. Those who peek into the Yao Clan's treasure trove are not just limited to Empress Cen alone. Who in this world doesn't desire the Yao Clan's treasures, and who doesn't yearn for dominion over all"

"I don't want to."

Dugu Cheng spoke, Feng Ling Xi smiled.

“Of course you wouldn't want to, if you truly desired this imperial throne, how could you be suppressed to this point People only know the allure of this throne, but they don't know how terrifying it is. Once you ascend to this throne, the burden and responsibilities are immense. A wise ruler will be remembered for millennia, while a foolish one will be reviled forever. If you are incompetent and immoral, you will merely live an ordinary life, forgotten in history.”

"Xier actually knows quite a bit."

Even knowing this, in this world, isn't everyone still coveting imperial power Who doesn't want to rule the world.

"Dugu Su wanted to be emperor, was it truly just for revenge"

Feng Lingxi chuckled, "He probably already had what he wanted when he was young, but it was stifled by the Empress Dowager back then. Now that he's better, he takes revenge and casually takes the throne."

Dugu Cheng hummed in response. Dugu Su's childhood was a thing of the past, and it didn't make sense to bring it up now.

"Your father's six sons, in the end, all fought for the throne, vying for power and leading to a bloody outcome where one of them died."

"Isn't there still you"

Feng Lingxi comforted Dugu Cheng. With the entire Yuan Dynasty in such chaos, these contenders for the throne showed no signs of relenting. Now that Empress Cen was like this, and Dugu Su was plotting, and even Dugu Yu was acting suspiciously, Dugu Cheng could only watch helplessly from Lixi County as they all fought amongst themselves one by one.

Never mind, let's just live well here and not worry about anything else.

Had it not been for the 500,000 troops his father had bestowed upon him, he would have long since been eliminated by Empress Dowager Cen. How could he possibly be huddled here, seeking refuge

The news of Empress Cen's critical illness quickly spread throughout the palace and beyond. Everyone in the Yuan Dynasty knew about it, but despite searching for famous doctors, there was no improvement. Discussions began in the court regarding Du Gucheng's return to treat the empress without fanfare.

The Yuan Dynasty soon had two voices. One side demanded that Dugu City bring Feng Lingxi back to treat Empress Cen, while the other side believed that Feng Lingxi was not the fourth princess of the Yuan Dynasty and continued to find other famous doctors to treat Empress Cen.

Every day, Feng Yu Xi would go to "look after" Empress Cen at Shou'an Palace, rain or shine. Everyone in the court praised Yue Fei for her filial piety, but who knew that Yue Fei was actually Feng Yu Xi Empress Cen had everything she has today because of this woman.

Lying on the bed, Empress Cen looked at Feng Yu Xi who was holding a bowl of medicine and feeding it to her, her eyes wide open, filled with refusal.

The imperial consort fed her medicine, coaxing her with words and worry in her eyes. Such a scene fell into the eyes of Empress Dowager Cen, and she was so enraged she could die.

Now she is unable to speak, her throat is completely silent, her limbs are paralyzed, and even her urination and defecation require assistance. She regrets it deeply, regretting that she did not execute this woman in the first place, leaving this scourge alive and allowing herself to fall victim to her.

"Your Majesty, you have to drink this medicine. If you don't, your health will only worsen. The Emperor worries about you day and night, tending to your illness. If you don't take the medicine, how can you possibly recover"

The gentle voice, the slightly reddened eyes, all revealed her concern for the Empress Dowager.

Apart from glaring at her, Empress Cen couldn't do anything else.

Feng Yu Xi gently placed the medicinal liquid by the Empress Dowager's lips and fed it to her. The medicine dripped from her lips, and Feng Yu Xi carefully wiped it away, feeding her drop by drop. All the maidservants, eunuchs, and palace ladies in Shou'an Palace watched as Yue Fei dutifully cared for the Empress Dowager.ng and began packing up. "The Empress summoned me to the palace, it must be about Shui Side Consort. If she knew you had sent Shui Side Consort to become the wife of a deputy general, I'm afraid I wou...
