Chapter 239: Palace Change 83
ed the subject, and after a while, she said again, "Medicine is a big problem. You should be clear about this. Even if the medicine I give you is fine, once it gets into the Emperor's hands, it become...Dugu City glanced at Feng Lingxi, the two locked eyes, both with expressions of shock. This was also the first time they had heard about the use of this purple star.
"Where does this Yao clan hail from I've never heard of them before."
Feng Lingxi also chimed in, "It sounds like a minority ethnic group."
Could it be a small tribe from around here
Qian MoXuan looked at the two of them, truly puzzled. He had no idea what to do. He told them everything he knew, showing his loyalty and submission.
As far as I know, the Yao tribe doesn't belong to any country, and no one has ever seen a member of the Yao tribe. However, the Empress Dowager mentioned to me that the Crown Princess's mother was from the Yao tribe, she should be the wearer of Zi Xing, which is the holy maiden of the Yao tribe.
"The Yao tribal saint maiden"
Wind Lingxi was truly surprised, this is her mother's identity The Saintess of Yao Clan, but why did her mother never tell her about it
qian MoXuan nodded, looking at Feng LingXi's astonished eyes, "Now you know why the Empress Dowager asked you to investigate ZiXing, and why the Emperor would get close to you"
Du Gu Cheng clenched his fist, his eyes filled with anger, "So all along, Du Gu Yan approached Xi Er only for the sake of Zi Xing, she never truly cared for Xi Er."
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, Your Highness, but the Princess was foolish and naive before. She wasn't even mentally five years old. The Emperor is the Crown Prince; how could he possibly be in love with the Princess" Anyone with a shred of common sense would know that the Emperor's approach to Feng Lingxi was for ulterior motives, there was no genuine affection involved.
"That's true."
Dugu Cheng agreed with Qian Mo Xuan's words, "How could Dugu Yan possibly like a foolish woman."
What about you
Feng Lingxi's face darkened, and seeing her anger, Dugu City hurriedly said, "Of course this King likes her. This King isn't Dugu Yan after all. Xi'er is so good, he must be blind. This King isn't."
Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, “I remember clearly that you plotted against me back then. If I were truly foolish, wouldn't you have despised me just the same”
A man's mouth, you can't really believe it.
"Xi'er, this was back then..."
"Never mind that, you guys chat. I have something to take care of and will be going out first."
Feng Lingxi left a sentence and walked outside. She circled around and returned, hiding in the shadows to watch inside. If this Qian MoXuan could truly be of use to them, it would be a good thing. She was afraid he was a false surrender. Dugu Cheng trusted him, but she felt it necessary to keep an eye on him.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Li stepped forward and whispered, "Looking at the princess hiding inside, she instinctively glanced inside. “What is this…”
Feng Ling hurriedly pulled her aside, motioning for her to stay quiet and continue eavesdropping.
"Your Highness, it seems the Crown Princess is afraid of her husband, hmm"
Qian Mo Xuan spoke, a smile on his face that caused Du Gu Cheng to cough lightly. "This king is spoiling Xi'er, you wouldn't understand,"
He wasn't afraid of intimacy at all.
"My lord, what are your plans next This Galuo country has always had undercover agents. This marshal is not an easy person to deal with. If a real war breaks out, even if you win, it won't be easy. The court has always sent the Sixth Prince secretly to watch you. Once you go to war with Galuo, the Sixth Prince will definitely take action."
"This king has no intention of going to war with the Kingdom of Galar, unless the Kingdom of Galar forces it."
"If Your Highness trusts me, perhaps I could try negotiating on your behalf. There's a chance we might be able to avoid this battle."
Qian Mo's proposal made Dugu Cheng raise an eyebrow, "You want to be an envoy"
Seeing him nod, Dugu Cheng fell into thought.
“The current situation is very unfavorable for Your Highness. Whether we win or lose, Your Highness will be in a difficult position if we go to war. It's better to negotiate with the Kingdom of Galro. This is such a good opportunity, the Kingdom of Galro would definitely turn their heads and attack the court unless they had no ambitions. And Your Highness could use this opportunity to gain some time.”
Qian Mo's idea was good, but Dugu City had never thought about negotiating.
"My lord, there's no shame in this. In our current situation, your reluctance to go to war with the Gallo kingdom isn't out of fear of them, but because of the court."
Although Galo's 300,000 army might not be able to conquer this place, it could certainly put them in a difficult position. If the Sixth Prince were to make a move, they would be caught between two enemies and might well fall here.
"Are you injured now Can you go"
Qian MoXuan smiled, “As long as Your Highness isn’t afraid I’ll take the opportunity to escape and send a message.”
Since you have pledged your allegiance to this king, how could this king not trust you.
Dugu Cheng said in a low voice, "Since you are willing to go, this king will let Ye Xi accompany you."
"If Your Lordship trusts me, simply find someone to accompany the last general. This night, the guards are Your Lordship's personal guards; following the last general would be counterproductive."
"Alright then."
Dugu City pondered for a moment, "You take your people and go. This king will be here waiting for your good news."
Qian MoXuan bowed to him, "Then the last general will head to Garuo now. Would Your Highness please write a letter for the last general to give to General Garuo"
獨孤城 took out his brush and ink to write a letter, handing it to him. Qian Mo Xuan read it, then put it away, saying, "This subordinate will go immediately. The prince is waiting for good news from this subordinate in the city."
Qi MoXuan took a dozen or so people out of the city. Dugu Cheng ordered someone to secretly watch Qi MoXuan and then went to find Feng LingXi.
Seeing her busy making pills, Dugu City looked at the jars of medicine surrounding her, his face full of heartache.
"Xier, you've worked hard."
Hearing his voice, Feng Lingxi was startled. Meeting his concerned gaze, she hurriedly asked, "Are you finished with everything"
Du Gu Cheng responded and looked at the medicinal herbs in front of her, "Qian Mo Xuan went to Galon to negotiate a peace treaty, so this King came here to see you." She had a high demand for medicinal herbs. Ye Xi told him that she would research and make pills whenever she had time, stockpiling them in large quantities. She said it was because she was afraid of needing them during wartime. Making them into pills would be much more convenient.
Feng Lingxi frowned, "You let him go to Gallo's negotiating table Aren't you afraid he'll run away at that time and sell your news of being injured"
Although Mo Xuan knew the truth, who could guarantee he wouldn't take advantage of the situation and escape
"This king believes he will not run away."
Feng Lingxi frowned, he actually believed this Qian MoXuan, probably never suffered a loss.
"By the way, Your Majesty still has something to talk to Xier about."
Dugu Cheng took over the things in her hands and pulled her out.
"Go tell."
"What's the matter, why does it have to be said outside Can't we talk here" Her pills weren't ready yet. Feng Lingxi glanced nervously around the room. Dugu City grabbed her hand and pulled her away. "Leave the pharmacy matters to Xiao Li and General Sun, I called you for a serious matter."
Feng Lingxi was pulled by Dugu City to a gazebo in the backyard. Feng Lingxi looked at him without speaking, her beautiful eyes raised, "Didn't you say you had something to tell me"
"Xier, this king wants to take you somewhere, how about it"
"What time is it, and you're still playing around"
Feng Lingxi got up, "I'm going to refine medicine..." She had just taken two steps when she was pulled back by Dugu City. "It's not playing around, but I have a place I want to take you to see, to see if you can do anything about it."ts that Yu Mo had put in to gain his approval.But she held back, Feng Aotian, he truly wasn't worthy to be her and Yu Mo's father."Just a few words."Feng Aotian's tone, though arrogant, was filled wit...
