Chapter 1082: Ghost Saint Kingdom 43

ut the situation in the capital. At least we need to know their situation, especially that of Dugu Su and Dugu Yu, to ensure your and the soldiers' safety."I know, I've always been doing it."Dugu City..."Mother Empress."

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi appeared, shouting in unison.

When the sound was heard, Shu Taifei didn't turn her head. A nearby mamasan hurriedly reminded, "Shu Taifei, Wangye and his wife are back to pay their respects to you."

"My son"

Seeing the Empress Dowager nod, Consort Shu only then turned around. She glanced at Feng Lingxi and Du Gucheng, but her gaze fell on Wan'er. Looking at the little girl, her brows furrowed.

Grandma hastily said, "Empress Dowager, she is your granddaughter, Princess Wan'er."

She's just a girl.

Shu Taifei gave Wan'er a cold glance, her attitude was very indifferent.

This left Feng Lingxi and Dugu City both astonished. Before, the Empress Dowager had always favored Wan'er, but now, her attitude towards Wan'er was completely different.

"Mother, how have you been lately"

Du Gu Cheng stepped forward, Shu Taifei raised her hand to signal him to take a seat. Feng Ling Xi holding Wan'er walked aside, before she could even sit down, she was stopped by Shu Taifei's gaze, that look clearly meant no. This change in attitude left Feng Ling Xi baffled.

Can a person have such a drastic change after losing their memory

"You still know that I am your imperial concubine mother, and you haven't cared about my life or death after being gone for five months. Do you even have the face to ask me how I am"

Dugu Cheng hurriedly apologized, "Son knows his mistake, please forgive me, Empress."

"This Empress sees that you don't place this Empress in your eyes at all."

Dugu City's face changed slightly, looking at his mother's attitude now, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Mother, this time Wan'er was taken away. The son and Xi'er went together to rescue her. Thousands of miles took months, and I failed to take good care of my mother. It is my fault."

"Oh"

Shutai raised her eyes to look at Feng Lingxi, "So it seems, there's truly no place for this old woman in your heart. When I was seriously injured, you abandoned me and went away for months for this little girl"

Feng Lingxi felt very uncomfortable hearing this from a young girl.

Isn't this Wan'er her granddaughter

To have forgotten, even not caring about the life or death of one's own granddaughter

Although she was furious, Feng Lingxi held back because she was her own mother-in-law after all.

"It was my fault for not taking good care of Empress Dowager. However, at the time Wan'er was kidnapped, the situation was urgent. I was afraid something would happen to her, and I sent someone a long journey to take care of Empress Dowager while I went to rescue her. Because of this, I failed to consider Empress Dowager's feelings. I apologize for that."

Dugu Cheng sincerely apologized, but Shu Tai Fei showed no sign of forgiveness. Her words and eyes made Feng Ling Xi endure unspeakable pain.

Even though this little girl's life is more important than mine, you are still my son. People always say to raise children to support them in old age, but it seems that raising you has been completely useless for me to rely on in my old age.

"Mother…"

Du Gucheng still wanted to explain, but Shu Taifei's attitude gave him no chance to speak.

This cold and resentful attitude, let alone Du Gu Cheng's inner turmoil, even Wan'er could see it. She timidly huddled in Feng Ling Xi's arms, too afraid to speak.

"Mother, this is all my fault. I did wrong to let Dugu City accompany me..."

"Presumptuous!"

Before Feng Lingxi could speak, Shu Taifei suddenly rebuked her harshly. She turned and glared at her angrily. Feng Lingxi was taken aback by this attitude and instinctively shielded Wan'er.

"To be so disrespectful, to call your own husband's name directly, how improper! Is this how you behave as a wife"

Wind Ling Xi was humiliated by the scolding. She had always been treated this way, but when had her mother concubine ever treated her with such an attitude

But thinking about her amnesia now, he could only bear the discomfort and apologize.

"The daughter-in-law knows her mistake and will not repeat it, Empress Dowager, please forgive her."

Shutai frowned and let out a cold snort, her attitude extremely displeased. The sudden change was difficult for people to accept.

When her beloved mother-in-law suddenly turned into a harsh and demanding one, Feng Lingxi felt like she had gone from heaven to hell. She found it hard to accept this sudden change.

"Mother Consort, Xi'er and I have always addressed each other this way. In the past, Mother Consort found it acceptable."

"Before"

The Dowager Empress looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes full of displeasure.

"It seems that I was too indulgent towards you all in the past, which allowed her to be spoiled and ignorant of propriety to this day."

"Mother."

Waner called out timidly. Feng Lingxi patted her hair and whispered, "Waner, quickly greet your great-grandmother."

"Grandma."

Wǎn'er called out in a low voice, but Shūtàifēi didn't respond. Her cold attitude was as if she hadn't heard her at all.

"Xier, you take Wan'er back first. I want to speak with Mother alone."

Feng Lingxi knew that Dugu Cheng didn't want Wan'er and herself to be wronged. This change in her motherly affection was truly astonishing, like she had become a different person altogether.

"The daughter-in-law resigns."

Feng Lingxi was blessed with good fortune and wished well for herself, but she did not see any reaction from Shu Taifei. She spoke as if she were not talking to her at all. Feng Lingxi embraced Wan'er and left.

"Mother, does Grandmother not like me"

After they left the courtyard, Wan'er looked at Feng Lingxi with a wronged expression, as if she had done something wrong.

Grandma has lost her memory and forgotten about Wan'er and her mother. When she remembers us, she will love us just like before.

Feng Lingxi comforted, "Don't make Great-grandmother angry anymore in the future, be good."

Wan'er nodded, "Wan'er will be obedient."

Feng Lingxi kissed her daughter's forehead. Although she was very sad about Shu Taifei's change, what could she do She couldn't control the attitude of someone who had lost their memory. In the past, when Dugu City pretended to have amnesia, he treated her like this. Now that her mother had amnesia in this way, perhaps it was really because of how she had acted before.

Feng Lingxi thought, she should still follow the rules in the future. Besides, this time she really owed Empress Shu an apology, so she didn't take it to heart.

"Mother, have you still not remembered anything from the past"

獨孤城看著母親不悅的態度，語氣平和地問，試圖關心她，讓她對他們態度改變。

"I'm quite content as I am now, so tell me, do you think it was wrong of me to scold your wife"

Dugu Cheng wouldn't dare say no, and besides, saying no at this time would make his mother-in-law think even worse of Xi'er.

"Of course not, in the future, this son will also let Xi'er pay more attention, and etiquette will be paid more attention to."

"Don't give me these empty words. This palace knows everything, you see. It's been two or three years since your marriage, and all you've given birth to is a daughter. How come you can't even produce a son"

獨孤城的身體一僵，這母妃失憶後，怎麼會開始糾結這樣的問題。

Mother, these past years have been eventful for Xi'er. You seem to have forgotten everything that has happened. I wonder what trials and tribulations she has endured. This led her inability to bear a son to become the start of your troubles with her.

"Mother, your son and Xi'er will both work hard. We will definitely give birth to a fat grandson for you as soon as possible."

One isn't enough.

The Shutai concubine looked at him, her eyes full of displeasure. "You are going to inherit the throne in the future, so it's important to have more children."
