Chapter 1510: Purple Glass Star 49
as if this matter had nothing to do with him."I have met the Princess."Seeing Feng Lingxi arrive, the servants in the manor hurriedly bowed. Feng Lingxi responded with a nod and walked to Zhaoran Cou..."So you mean you won't let her go to the capital"
Lu Nian thought for a moment, shaking her head. "No, with my sister's temper, if she wants to go, there's no stopping her. Besides, this involves Siyu and Siqi, how could she possibly stay away"
"It's not about not letting her go, but about going back in broad daylight, preferably with us. That way, at least, Your Highness can protect her."
"What's impossible for others, is possible with Feng Aotian and me."
"That's not necessarily true," Du Gucheng smiled.
"Can you do it"
Lu Nian leaned forward, and Dugu Cheng whispered, "Siqi agreed to treat the king's illness, didn't she Since she agreed, she must cure it. As long as Siqi is persuaded, I believe there shouldn't be a problem with Xi'er."
He believes Siqi can handle Xier.
“If you have to say it like that, why not let Wan’er speak up Whatever Wan’er says, Xi’er will agree to. But Siqi is different. Whatever Xi’er says, Siqi will agree to. You still don't understand, Xi’er owes Wan’er a debt that you can't possibly comprehend.”
Dugu City fell silent. When it came to owing favors, he owed this mother and son trio far more than could ever be repaid, perhaps even a lifetime of servitude wouldn't suffice.
"Good."
This time, Dugu City didn't explain. His face was noticeably worse, looking troubled and heavyhearted, which dampened Lu Nian's enthusiasm.
“This king will get to the bottom of this matter of ice and fire poison. If Xi'er really doesn't want to go back, she can tell this king about what happened that year, and this king will investigate it clearly.”
If she were to tell you, you wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
Lu Nian sighed, "What abilities she has now is up to her own willingness."
"Right."
Xi'er still hid her identity as the Holy Crane Princess from Xi Gu Guo. Although she didn't know it herself, once this identity was revealed to the world, things wouldn't be so easy with Xi Gu Guo. He had to go back and report to the Empress Dowager about this matter to avoid trouble.
"It's late, you should rest now. Don't cough anymore, I'm afraid you'll suffocate."
Lu Nian stood up and stretched, "I guess I'll go back to sleep."
Dugu Cheng wanted to cough, but he held it in for Lu Nian's sake. He didn't cough until Lu Nian was far away.
"My lord, it's late. You should rest."
"Ye Xi, regarding Luo Qin Yi, you have Ye Mei handle it. From now on, she is not to appear before this king again. Furthermore, if she harbors ill intentions, kill her to eliminate future trouble." Du Gu Cheng tossed out a sentence, then got up and went to sleep.
Ye Xi sighed, hoping that Luo Qin Yi could really understand, and not cause trouble. The King's heart, ever since it was taken by the Queen, could no longer hold another woman. She better not die trying.
Feng Lingxi's news of returning to the capital quickly reached the capital city. The palace was truly surprised to learn that Feng Lingxi was returning to the capital, and the news leaked into the palace, but no one knew who had spread it.
"Your Majesty, have you heard that Feng Lingxi is returning to the capital Is this true"
When Empress Shutai saw the Emperor, she brought up this topic.
"I've also heard about this matter, but the news is uncertain. How did your Majesty's Mother come to know about it"
Shutai's smile froze slightly, and she said softly, "It was a little eunuch's conversation in the palace that was overheard by the mama and told to me."
"How does Mother intend to handle this matter"
Emperor Yuan Zhao knew very well that the Empress Dowager had sent people to assassinate Feng Lingxi during this time, wasn't it just because she wanted Feng Lingxi's child Now, Feng Lingxi has returned on her own initiative, this child will eventually be able to return to their side.
"This matter, the empress has heard from the emperor."
Emperor Yuan Zhao smiled and sat down beside the Empress Dowager. Those who were listening to him could easily understand his words.
“Mother, I feel that Feng Lingxi’s return to the capital this time must have important matters. It’s better to wait and see what her purpose is. Although Feng Lingxi is not the Crown Princess of Chen now, she has the Yao Clan behind her, as well as the Lu family of Xigu Kingdom. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Lu family. I think it’s not advisable to make an enemy of her.”
"Your Majesty, are you afraid of her status She is merely a illegitimate daughter of the Lu family's head living outside. She has no official recognition and has never acknowledged the Lu family. Her child is my grandson. It is not unreasonable for me to want my grandson back, is it"
The Empress Dowager still expressed her thoughts. Since this was finally a grandson, with Feng Lingxi returning to the capital, she would absolutely not let the child be taken away.
"The Empress Dowager said that the children of Feng Lingxi were indeed your grandchildren. But Your Majesty, you should know that the Lu family is absolutely unwilling to back down. I've heard that they have made it clear: if anyone dares to harm these children, the Lu family will show no mercy."
When Emperor Yuan Zhao said this, the Empress Dowager's face instantly fell.
"Even the Lu family couldn't rebel against my Great Yuan Dynasty, this child is of my blood, no one is allowed to take him away."
The Empress Dowager was very agitated, and Emperor Yuan Zhao quickly soothed her, “Empress Dowager, this matter awaits the return of Prince Chen. I will explain the situation to him, and with his help, the child can be brought back. Please don’t worry too much, Empress Dowager.”
"Your Majesty, I've seen your kindness towards me all these years. This child, I came here for the sake of Your Majesty's great unification. If Your Majesty desires it, this child will be yours."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan Zhao was astonished and overjoyed.
"Did Mother really say all that"
Emperor Yuan Zhao finished speaking and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is probably not appropriate. This child belongs to King Chen, if I bring him into the palace, he will surely be heartbroken and sad. Even if I intend to establish a Crown Prince, I'm afraid King Chen would not agree."
This matter, the Empress will handle it herself.
Shutai Empress these years in the palace, from the beginning of being coerced to her current status, if she had no means, how could she live to this day Dugu City does not want this imperial position, she will definitely let her grandson take it. With her in the palace to support him, this world can only belong to her grandson.
"Then I shall leave this matter to the Empress Dowager."
Emperor Yuan Zhao was so agitated that he couldn't help but cough. Empress Shu saw this and her eyes were filled with worry, "Your Majesty, has your body been checked by the imperial physicians recently Why haven't you gotten better Are all the imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau incompetent This concubine will have someone else find a physician outside the palace for you."
"Mother, my body is fine. I was just too excited a moment ago. It's nothing."
Emperor Yuan Zhao saw the worry in Empress Shu's eyes. If he didn't do this, he feared he wouldn't escape her schemes.
At first, I brought her into the palace to control Duke Gucheng. But over the years, she slowly began to control him. Why is there no heir in his harem Is he incapable
"These concubines in the harem are really something else. How can they serve like this For a while, you should stay away from the harem and let the imperial physician take good care of your health. Once you're better, everything will be fine."
"The Empress Dowager said, 'Your Majesty, I think the same way.'"
Shū Taìhòu nodded, "Later this empress will have someone send you some supplements. Make sure to nourish your body well and don't end up like Chéng'er, who ruined his health all for a woman."Dugu Cheng to his seat, watching his gaze fixed on her, feeling uncomfortable all over. It was like a child who had made a mistake admitting their fault to their parents."Go ahead."Dugu City's tone ca...
