Chapter 1419: War Clouds Gather 240

been scolded like this. This princess won't marry, just go back and tell the Emperor." Feng Lingxi said, she was about to leave the palace, but Feng Linglong hurried forward to stop her.Princess Yaohu..."Your Highness, the Crown Prince requests your presence at his chambers."

Feng Yu Mo and Feng Yu Mo looked at each other, then hurriedly walked out. They saw a squad of soldiers standing in the courtyard and asked faintly, "What brings you here, Prime Minister"

"I'm unaware of this. Please, Madam Princess Chen, come with us." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, though his words were "please," the formation of troops was not an invitation, but an escort.

"I have two words to say to my brother."

The guard nodded and stepped aside to wait.

"Yu Mo, sister's going to the inn. You go back to the barracks."

Feng Yu Mo grabbed Feng Ling Xi's hand, his eyes full of worry, "Sister, I'll go with you to the post house. I can't bear for you to go alone. Now that Xiao Li is injured, let me accompany you."

Feng Lingxi took his hand away, revealing a smile, "Yumo, do you believe your sister"

"Of course."

Feng Yumo regretted his words as soon as they left his lips because Feng Lingxi's next statement made it impossible for him to refuse. "Trust your elder sister and go back," she said. "You still need to investigate Nan Gong Huayun's death. You can't come with me. Besides, the Prime Minister wants to see me, not you. You wouldn't be of help if you came, and it would only put you in danger."

"But..."

Feng Lingxi held his hand, her eyes firm and said, "There's nothing to worry about, listen to your sister, don't follow."

Feng Yu Mo clenched his fists, struggling inside. He really wanted to go with his sister, but he knew that if he went, she would be truly angry.

"Good."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the impatient guards waiting. She instructed Feng Yumuo, “Take good care of Xiao Li and Wan'er for me.”

Feng Yu Mo nodded, Feng Ling Xi instructed Chun Tao to apply medicine to Xiao Li, then followed the guards out of Chen Wang Fu. Along the way, the servants of Chen Wang Fu all watched her, but none of them spoke up for her. Feng Ling Xi realized that she had really failed as a person.

Luo Qin'yi arrived, and not only did she keep Dugu Cheng in her courtyard, but even the servants in the house all switched sides. With her title of Princess Consort still intact, this was already the case. If she were to divorce Dugu Cheng, I'm afraid that even if she died before them, no one would sympathize with her.

"My lady, please."

Outside the residence of Prince Chen, there was an ordinary carriage. Feng Lingxi glanced back at the residence of Prince Chen, but she saw no one coming to see her off, let alone the figure of Duguo City. She hadn't seen him for several days.

Feng Ling Xi, is this the man you love

Feng Lingxi wryly questioned herself in her heart, now that the Prime Minister had sent her to the post station, would she be able to return safely this time

"Let's go."

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze, got into the carriage, and the carriage left Chen Wangfu, heading towards the post house. Feng Lingxi sat in the carriage, slowly closing her eyes. She no longer cared whether she would be taken to the post house or out of the city. At this moment, her heart felt a coldness she had never experienced before. The anticipation she had for Dugu City was also fading with the carriage's departure, little by little, leaving her heart.

Chen Wangfu West Courtyard.

A figure hurried forward to report, “My Lord, the Lady has been taken to the inn. She has already left the manor.”

"What!"

獨孤城的臉色突然變了，起身朝著外麵走去，恰好遇見走進來的男人，伸手攔住了他。

"Since the decision is made, the rest is none of your concern."

Dugu Cheng looked at Luoli before him, seeing the coldness in his eyes, "The people from the Lu family haven't arrived yet."

"Just one day, she won't die."

The sound of her departure was like an ice blade, slashing through Dugu City's heart, causing him to clutch his chest in pain, agony beyond description.

"It's too late to regret now. When you agreed to do this with me, you had no chance to regret it." Luo Li stared at Dugu City's painful eyes, "Don't worry, the Lu family will take her away on time."

Dugu Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart.

"I've done what I promised you. Now, it's your turn to keep your word."

Luo Li waved goodbye to Dugu Cheng, leaving Chen Wangfu and leaving Dugu Cheng standing there, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with pain.

The carriage stopped at the post station. Feng Lingxi got off and saw that it was a post station, and looking at the guards on both sides, she felt more like a criminal than a princess.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess."

The leading guard made a gesture to Feng Lingxi, inviting her forward. Feng Lingxi glanced at the street; even commoners had come to watch, but the face she wanted to see was absent. Did Dugu Cheng truly not know, or did he simply not want to know

He is now in the arms of a beautiful woman, how could he still remember her

Feng Aotian hurried over upon hearing the voice. Seeing that it was indeed Feng Lingxi, he immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Princess Chen, where is King Chen Why didn't he come with you"

He can't come.

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotian's hesitant eyes, and walked towards the inn, but was stopped by Feng Aotian.

"Do you know why he brought you here this time How could the Crown Prince not come"

Feng Aotian’s voice was slightly angry. He glanced outside and hurriedly summoned someone. "Go to Chen Wangfu immediately and invite Chen Wang over."

"General Zhen Guo, the Chancellor ordered that only Princess Chen be summoned."

Feng Aotian was furious, pointing at the man and angrily shouting, "I told you to go, so go! As for what happened with the chancellor, I'll explain it myself."

"No need."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the guard who was reluctant to leave, motioning for him to step back.

He won't be coming. You haven't heard any news these days, have you

Feng Lingxi chuckled wryly, "My marriage is already over. My affairs are none of his concern."

"Stupid."

Feng Aotien shouted furiously, "Do you know what's at stake right now You're telling me you want to divorce him If you really go through with it, you'll have only one path left—death."

Feng Ling Xi heard Feng Ao Tian's words, her heart ached fiercely. Her eyes welled up inexplicably, wanting to cry.

If she leaves, she's dead. Is it true that Feng Lingxi leaving Dugu City means there is no way out for her

I've made my decision, and even if I didn't divorce him, he wouldn't care about my life or death.

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotiān's puzzled eyes, "If you don't understand, just listen to what happened at Chen Wangfu these two days. Also, keep your distance from me, lest you be implicated by me."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, striding into the inn. She had come, so would she really care if she could live to get out

Besides, she's already died several times. If she truly can't escape this fate, then it must be her destiny.

"Go quickly."

Feng Aotian glared at the man, his eyes full of warning. The guard was finally scared off by Feng Aotian and ran towards Chen Wangfu.

"Prime Minister, the Princess Consort of Chen has arrived."

Feng Lingxi stepped into the inn, and saw the prime minister waiting for her. Besides him, there was also Nangong Huasuang. After not seeing each other for several days, when Nangong Huasuang saw her, his eyes instantly lit up, almost jumping forward.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."he inn."Master Lu, what should we do now The princess must be in danger. This servant heard her speaking today and felt something was strange about her words. It was as if she were making arrangements...
