Chapter 1390: Smoke and Fire (Part 211)

d at them, the maidservant glanced at Dugu Cheng, then hurriedly retreated to the door to keep watch."This Yao Qing seems to be keeping a close eye on the two of us, Ye Xi. When we get the chance, we..."Aren't you curious"

Lu Nian looked at Feng Ling Xi's curious eyes, the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction. Feng Ling Xi gave him a white look, "If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to say it, don't." He always used this trick, it wasn't interesting at all.

Lu Nian saw Feng Ling, and became angry. He didn't dare say anything more, so he flattered, "You know him."

"Do I know"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "You mean that Dugu Feng is someone I know"

"Yes, that's Li Wuyan, Dr. Li."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian in disbelief. Seeing him nod, she said, "How are you Shocked, right I didn't expect it to be Dugu Feng, did you"

"He… Dugu Feng, his mother is Xianfei"

What exactly did Li Wu-Yan go through as a child to end up like this

"You didn't expect that Li WuYan was actually Dugu Feng, did you When I found out, I wasn't much better than you. This Li WuYan doesn't look like a prince at all, but he turns out to be the Fifth Prince you've been searching for."

He probably doesn't want to be found. This title of King Feng, he despises it.

She's known Li Wuyan for a while. Although he doesn't talk much, she can feel from their conversations that Li Wuyan isn't someone who craves power. Besides, if he really wanted this identity back, he would have returned when his mother was alive.

It's not a matter of whether he wants to or not now, but whether your Emperor Yuan Zhao will give up on finding him.

"It's nothing more than fear that Dugu Feng is still alive and poses a threat to his throne." Just like the several princes who are still alive, each one feels threatened by his position as emperor. In the end, this person is still selfish.

“You are right, especially your Dugu City. He poses the biggest threat to Emperor Yuan Zhao. With 500,000 soldiers and you, the Yao Clan Saint Master, it means having the Yao Clan's backing. As long as you exist, you are a danger to him.”

Wind Ling Xi rolled her eyes, "So you're saying we hand over the military power"

"Surrender, and even Emperor Yuan Zhao might not let you off. Don't you have the Yao clan backing you Without this military power, you still have your position as the Saint Master of the Yao clan. They could leave a threat behind"

The more Lu Nian spoke, the more agitated Feng Ling Xi became. She had thought this Emperor Yuan Zhao would be different from the others, they didn't vie for his throne, so why couldn't he tolerate their existence as a couple

"Alright, don't put on that long face, you still have Big Brother here, right No one is going to bully you."

Lu Nian spoke soothingly, Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Lu Nian, and let out a long sigh, "You can hide from the first day, but you can't hide from the fifteenth."

They were probably both targeted, no matter who became emperor.

"Then you rebel! Pull Dugu City along and rebel, big brother will help you."

Feng Ling hurriedly stepped forward and covered Lu Nian's mouth, her eyes suddenly turning cold as she coldly reprimanded, "Keep it down."

Lu Nian took away Feng Ling Xi's hand, with a fearless expression, "What are you afraid of All these people are ours. Besides, I didn't say anything wrong. Don't you think that no matter how your husband and wife try, there's no way to escape this. Unless, you turn the tables."

That's enough.

Feng Lingxi really had this idea, but she didn't want Dugu Cheng to become emperor. If he became emperor, it would confirm their charges of rebellion.

"What a silly little sister, do you really think you have any choices now If the imperial court truly makes a move against you, would you willingly let them kill you"

Lu Nian's expression grew serious, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor. "Don't forget," she said, "even if you are willing to accept punishment, what about Wan'er What about the people around you, those who follow your couple They will all be implicated."

Wind Ling clutched her fists tightly, she understood everything Lu Nian had said.

"Don't say any more, we haven't even started yet, have we"

The Empress Dowager was still in the palace, she hadn't reached that point yet. She couldn't sacrifice the Empress Dowager; she had treated her like her own daughter. If she sacrificed the Empress Dowager, how would Dugu City view her She wouldn't even be able to pass this test herself.

"Hesitation, truly, until that step arrives, it will be too late."

Lu Nian was a little angry, “Even if you don't consider your own life, what about Wan'er What about the innocent lives of those who follow you and your wife If you really died, how many people would accompany you to death Don't you have any idea”

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, “Of course I know that, but even so, I wouldn't do this now. When Dugu City returns, we will have our own plans.” The Empress Dowager was Dugu City's biological mother and her mother-in-law. She couldn't ignore her life or death.

"Forget it, I won't tell you these things. Even if I did, you wouldn't listen."

Lu Nianqi rushed to sit aside, poured herself a glass of water and drank it down, lest she be choked by her own anger.

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, who was so angry, and explained, "Dugu City's mother is in the palace. If we once resist, the Empress Dowager will be in danger. I can't abandon her."

Lu Nian didn't speak, but the obvious anger in his eyes had subsided somewhat. The fact that Feng Ling Xi gave him an explanation was a sign that she still had some conscience and hadn't completely disregarded her older brother.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "I advise you to go back to Xigu Kingdom as soon as possible. This place is really not suitable for you. I don't want to implicate you, and I don't want you to get hurt."

"Are you worried about my safety"

Feng Lingxi nodded, her eyes resolute, "Yes." After all, they were related by blood. Besides, she had seen how good Lu Nian had been to her this past period, and of course, she didn't want anything to happen to him.

Lu Nian smirked, unable to help but laugh.

"With you saying this, I won't leave. I have to stay and protect you. You are the only sister I, Lu, have. I can't let anything happen to you. From now on, no matter what danger there is, big brother will be by your side."

"You..."

Feng Ling's voice choked, she forcibly endured the bitterness in her heart and snarled, "You don't need to stay here and risk it with me."

"I'm happy to."

Feng Lingxi bit her lip, tears swirling in her eyes. She really wanted to keep him, to have such a caring older brother protect her. She was deeply moved, but she couldn't let him take risks.

"If you really treat me as your sister, then listen to me and go back to Xi Gu Country. Don't stay here, or no one will be able to leave when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I really have something to do here, those two brats will come to save us."

Lu Nian patted her head, looking at the tears swirling in her eyes, reached out to wipe them away, "Don't cry, your big brother will be heartbroken to see you like this."

Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, angrily accusing him, "I didn't cry, my eyes just got sandy." This stubborn look made Lu Nian watching feel distressed, truly not knowing how she had endured until now.

But from now on, with him as her big brother, no one will ever make her suffer.

"Okay, okay. You said you were going to go into the sand, so you went into the sand. No crying, alright"

Feng Lingxi sniffed and wiped away her tears, bursting into a smile.ng left a mark and returned to the cave.Compared to Dugu City, Xiao Li needs her protection more.Wind Ling returned to the cave and, seeing the footprints at the entrance, rushed inside. She saw Xiao...
