Chapter 577 Conspiracy 63
"None of the subordinates had heard."Ye Xi hurriedly raised her hand and swore, meeting Feng Ling Xi's gaze, instantly deflated, and nodded."You should know I don't want Dugu City to know I've recover..."The Empress Dowager summoned you. Was it to have you go and antidote the Emperor"
Feng Lingxi looked into Dugu Cheng's worried eyes, "He came for this matter."
“It seems that the news about Dugu Xiu’s wide network of connections is true. As soon as I left the palace, he went to your house to talk with you. Then, encountering Feng Yu Xi in the Imperial Garden was no coincidence; it was a deliberate attempt to block our path” This makes the relationship between Feng Yu Xi and Dugu Xiu much clearer.
"Has Feng Yu Xi given you any trouble"
Seeing Dugu Cheng's nervous look, Feng Lingxi shook her head.
"No, the Empress Dowager sent people to escort me out of the palace. She couldn't stop them, but now that you mention it, I've noticed that both Dugu Xiu and Yu Xi are very nervous about my visit to the Empress Dowager this time. It seems they have cooperated with each other. However, whether it is Yu Xi and Dugu Xiu cooperating, or Yu Xi's mastermind behind the scenes cooperating, it remains unknown."
To my surprise, they exposed themselves.
Feng Lingxi slightly frowned, "It seems they are really afraid that I will cure Du Gu Yan's poison."
"This is for sure, if you cure Dugu Yan's poison, it might make their situation much worse."
Wind Ling Xi looked at Dugu City and suddenly laughed.
"Dugu Cheng, you said if I really cured Dugu Yan's poison, what would Feng Yu Xi and Dugu Xiu do"
Feng Lingxi drew a wicked smile at the corner of her lips, suddenly very much looking forward to their reaction when they saw Dugu Yan recover. This Dugu Xiu didn't seem to mind much, but this Feng Yuxi... would probably be miserable.
"Are you sure, Xier"
Dugu Cheng frowned, "The current situation, no matter which side we stand on, is not ideal."
“This is not something we are uncertain about, but rather the choice between Heaven and rebellious traitors. We choose one.”
Du Gu Cheng looked at Xi Er's smirk, his handsome brows furrowed. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly reached out to smooth it, "Don't worry about it, let's go eat something first, I'm starving."
"Didn't the Empress Dowager give you anything to eat"
Feng Lingxi pursed her lips and unconsciously stroked her flat stomach, "Would I make this face if I ate"
Dugu Cheng's eyes were full of compassion. "What do you want to eat"
Feng Lingxi reached out and lifted the curtain. Her eyes swept across the bustling streets of the capital city. The snow falling all over the sky gave the streets a layer of white, hazy beauty, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the street than usual.
Let's go there.
Feng Lingxi pointed to the restaurant not far ahead. It was next to the inn. After dinner, they could go see Huangfu Qingyun. He didn't know how his injuries were doing, whether he had gotten better.
The carriage came to a stop, Feng Lingxi and Dugu City dismounted, and the figure following closely behind also disappeared into the crowd.
"Xier, after we finish our meal, don't go to the inn. We're being followed."
Du Gucheng stood beside her, gently brushing the snowflakes off her cloak. He met Feng Lingxi's astonished gaze and nodded. Feng Lingxi received the hint and, arm in arm with him, walked into a private room on the second floor of the tavern.
The appearance of the two did not cause a stir. Ye Xi and Xiao Li followed closely behind, these days their tails were unlikely to be absent.
Have you heard The crown prince of the Aoshu Dynasty was assassinated, it's said to be revenge for his younger sister, Princess Yaohua.
"Nonsense! Why didn't you seek revenge for Princess Yaohua from the Fourth Prince I mean, it was the Fourth Prince who killed Princess Yaohua. If the Fourth Prince hadn't married Princess Yaohua, she wouldn't have died!"
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng had just sat down when they heard an argument coming from the next table. The two exchanged glances but said nothing.
"The Fourth Prince doesn't like Princess Yao Hua either. The Fourth Prince likes Feng Ling Xi, it's Princess Yao Hua who insists on marrying the Fourth Prince. How can you blame the Fourth Prince for this"
"What you say makes sense. It all boils down to Princess Yao Hua. If she hadn't come for the betrothal, she wouldn't have withered away like a flower."
The people at the next table were chattering away, but they never managed to pin the blame for Princess Yao Hua's death on themselves.
"It seems like this Yao Hua princess isn't very kind."
Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and Dugu City looked at her as she said this with such seriousness. His handsome brows furrowed, "Xier, no."
She shook her head gently, signaling for her to stop talking there. It was too crowded and they were being followed, so it would be best not to say anything that could cause trouble if it got out.
Feng Lingxi ordered some dishes and sat opposite Dugucheng, gazing at his peerless beauty. If this were truly Princess Yaohua herself, marrying Dugucheng instead of him, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad.
"Dugu City, if one day I'm gone, will you fall in love with another woman"
Feng Lingxi finished asking, and Dugu City's face sank, "Xi'er, what nonsense are you talking about again"
The words of Guanyin Temple's divination lingered in her ears. Feng Lingxi hurriedly shook her head and smiled, saying, "I won't tell you."
Ye Xi stepped forward, leaned into Dugu City's ear and whispered a few words. Dugu City's handsome face sank slightly, "You go handle it."
"What happened"
Feng Lingxi grabbed Dugu City's hand, her expression turning serious. She looked at Ye Xi's hurried retreating figure, full of suspicion.
"The Queen is fine, Ye Xi can handle it."
Little Li returned to Feng Ling Xi's side, clearing up the confusion for the princess and getting Du Gu Cheng out of trouble.
Feng Lingxi met eyes with Dugu Cheng. Seeing him nod, she could only give up.
It seems like he didn't want her to worry.
"Little Li, let's eat together."
Feng Lingxi looked at the dishes being served and beckoned to Xiao Li. Xiao Li hesitated, looking at Dugu City beside her. Seeing him nod, she walked to Feng Lingxi's side and sat close to the princess. Feng Lingxi gave Xiao Li a large bowl of meat and instructed, "Eat more, replenish yourself well."
"Your Majesty, I... think you should serve the Lord more dishes."
Wind Ling Xi's beautiful eyes swept across Du Gu City, her eyebrows slightly raised. She said lightly, "He wants Ye Xi to clip dishes for him for a while. Anyway, he lets Ye Xi do everything."
Dugu Cheng's lips twitched slightly, Xi'er was angry. He said, how could he smell gunpowder in the air.
"The person being tracked was discovered by Ye Xi. This King has sent him to handle it."
Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over Dugu City's handsome face, who replied obediently. She smiled and gave him a piece of meat, "Here, have some."
Dugu Cheng wasn't doing this to get food, he just felt that Xi Er had a misunderstanding about him. He didn't want her to be angry and he didn't want there to be any misunderstandings between them.
"After we finish eating, I'll accompany you for a stroll. The snow scene on the streets is quite beautiful."
"It's too cold, I have no ideas..."
"Inn."
"Good."
Dugu Cheng shook her head helplessly. Sure enough, once she mentioned Huangfu Qingyun, a smile appeared on her face.
After the meal, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng went to the post house. Without any tailing, the two walked down the street, admiring the snow scene. Feng Lingxi couldn't help but sigh, she had only been here for less than a year, but the things that happened made her feel like she had already lived half her life there.
A figure hurried past Feng Lingxi, brushing against her. "I'm sorry..." The person said hastily. As soon as the words left their mouth, Feng Lingxi felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The person pushed Feng Lingxi away abruptly and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
