Chapter 482 Revenge 126
aoli, only to see Xiaoli's eyes widen in astonishment, "Could it be that he..."Shhh!Feng Lingxi made a gesture, Xiao Li hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head violently. Only the shocked look...Dugu Xiu narrowed his eyes, "Don't tell me Fourth Brother doesn't want to Father Emperor's empire should rightfully be passed down to someone as outstanding as Fourth Brother. Dugu Yan has become a mediocre ruler..."
That's enough!
Du Gu Cheng roared, "Don't bring this up again. If you truly want the throne, fight for it yourself. I told you, I won't vie for the throne with the Emperor. You don't need to say any more."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's angry expression and said to Dugu Xiu, "Sixth Royal Highness, if these words reach the Emperor's ears, the consequences would be unimaginable. Please stop, lest you make Your Highness embarrassed."
Dugu Xiu looked at Dugu Cheng, "Don't you have any ideas at all Once the Yaozu's treasure is given to Mother Empress, what follows will be your deaths. Both Mother Empress and Dugu Yan won't let you go."
"Are you so certain the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will have me killed"
"As for you, Dugu Xiu, this king thinks you're quite dangerous."
Dugu Xiu's face stiffened slightly. He naturally knew his situation was dangerous. Now, no matter how he persuaded them, they wouldn't confront the imperial court. He knew Dugu Cheng was doing this for show, but in reality, his heart had already turned against the court.
"Fourth Brother, if you truly don't want to rebel, why hold onto this military power of 600,000 and refuse to let go"
Dugu Cheng listened for a long time before finally getting an idea. Looking at Dugu Xiu's squinted eyes and questioning gaze, he couldn't help but smile. He just couldn't hold it in anymore.
"If I hadn't had military power, the Imperial Court would have killed me and Xier long ago. We wouldn't be alive today. Not to mention, these soldiers have fought alongside me on countless battlefields for years. Sixth Brother claims that I am overreaching in my ambition, but I have always known this. However, I ask you, do I have any regrets"
"What a conscience!"
Dugu Xiu clapped his hands in applause and said, “If asking the heart is useful, how can there be unjustly deceased people”
Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu Xiuyue drifted further and further away. Her beautiful eyes twitched slightly. Was this fellow really here to get medicine from her Now he was even involved with Dugu Cheng in a plot to usurp the throne. If their words today reached Dugu Yan's ears, they would be killed a hundred times over and it still wouldn't be enough.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you looking for me How did this get brought up It's said that the ruler commands and the subject must obey. Duke Duguo and I are subjects. If there ever comes a day like that, my husband and I won’t have anything to say.”
"Is what the Fourth Princess said truly from her heart"
Feng Lingxi smiled, "In that case, could you even deceive the Sixth Prince It's the Sixth Prince who should remember the saying '禍從口出'. This trip back to the capital, you must be careful with your words and deeds. Those words just now should never be mentioned again in front of others, lest you invite disaster. It's fine that we talk about it here to vent our anger."
Dugu Xiu listened to Feng Lingxi's words, a smile gradually spreading across his lips. His gaze fell on Feng Lingxi, almost forgetting the purpose of his visit today.
"The Fourth Emperor's wife really knows how to talk, this king is so excited. She said everything she should and shouldn't have said. Fourth brother, don't take it to heart."
Dugu Cheng let out a heavy sigh, "Sixth brother, you can't say things like that anymore. If this gets out, both of us will be in trouble."
"Fourth Brother's lesson was that this King would never speak rashly again. Come, let us have tea instead of wine, and I shall offer you my apologies."
Dugu Cheng raised his cup to him, observing Dugu Xiu's changing demeanor. He casually said, "Let's have lunch here later. When we return to the capital, who knows when we'll meet again."
As the Fourth Brother said, this king will just stay here for a meal today.
Dugu City instructed Feng Lingxi, "Xier, go and tell the kitchen to prepare some good dishes. This king and Sixth Brother will have a good sit down."
Feng Lingxi responded and left.
Dugu Xiu narrowed his eyes, "Fourth Brother, is Fourth Sister-in-law's body almost recovered"
"She needs to move around, she can't just stay in bed all the time."
Duguxing sipped his tea and said, "Sixth brother, be careful after returning to the capital. With the current turmoil in the court and Empress Fengyu newly ascended, it's like a fire being kindled when a new official takes office. Sixth brother, you need to be more cautious with your words from now on."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
After Du Gu Xiu Dao thanked him, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Fourth Brother, I heard that Fourth Aunt is very good at refining pills. I wonder if she could help me by refining some insect repellent and some portable medicine to carry with me. This trip back to the capital is far away, and I don't know what might happen. I want to carry some with me for protection."
"Xier's body hasn't fully recovered yet, Sixth Brother. If you want pills, just have the military doctor refine some, wouldn't that be easier"
獨孤修忙道，“這軍醫煉製出來的哪有四皇嫂的厲害，這段時間四皇嫂的醫術可真的是讓本王開眼界，本王除了四皇嫂的藥丸，誰的都不想要。”
Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, "Aren't these pills all the same Besides, Xi'er only refined those for warding off insects and ants. What does Sixth Brother want to do"
“Bring some self-defense medicine along on the way back to the capital, Fourth Brother. Just ask Fourth Sister-in-law to help me concoct some pills for me to carry with me. I guarantee that as soon as I return to the capital, I will bring you the news you desire in exchange.”
Dugu Xiu's words made Dugu Cheng's eyes change. Since he knew what he wanted, this time coming to find him wasn't just to get the pills, but to make a deal with them.
"Since this is a collaboration, Your Highness shall allow me to ask Xi'er. However, whether Xi'er agrees is beyond my guarantee."
Dugu Xiu smiled and said, "The Fourth Empress will definitely agree. Our current enemies are the same after all."
Dugu Cheng listened to his words, did not explain, looking at the calculation in Dugu Xiu's eyes, he thought, if unable to return to the capital, with Dugu Xiu in the capital to help them, perhaps his mother's safety could be guaranteed, and he could also feel more at ease here.
"Fourth Brother, when I return, I will definitely visit Consort Shu for you. Whatever you want to tell her, I will convey it for you."
Tell Empress Dowager that this Prince is well and ask her not to worry.
Dugu Cheng's reply made a slight stiffness appear on Dugu Xiu's face, such polite words, he didn't believe him at all.
However, being able to get the pills from Feng Lingxi is already enough.
"This king will definitely bring the word."
After finishing their lunch, Dugu Xiu insisted Feng Lingxi help him refine some pills. What amused Feng Lingxi was that the type of pills Dugu Xiu wanted were rather interesting - they were all designed to counteract venomous scorpion ants. After Feng Lingxi finished refining them for him, Dugu Xiu didn't leave right away. Instead, he asked Xiaoli to help him refine some poison. Because Feng Lingxi had made it clear, Xiaoli handed the pills prepared by the princess to Dugu Xiu. Seeing him leave, Xiaoli finally asked...
"My Queen, why didn't the Sixth Prince speak to you directly about these poisons He came to me in secret instead."
"Of course he wouldn't want anyone to know he had taken the poison."
