Chapter 794: Imprisonment 54

ip with the Empress Dowager is one of cooperation.Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, and the look in her eyes towards Empress Cen changed. Although Empress Cen knew Feng Lingxi wouldn't cooperate with her so..."This king agrees to you."

Feng Lingxi slowly closed her eyes, thinking that they would be apart for so long. Her heart ached with reluctance, but she held it back. Dugucheng wouldn't let her go with him, nothing more than fearing she'd suffer. She knew the situation in the Dan Liao tribe wasn't good, but since Dugucheng didn't say anything, she didn't ask.

Between them, they both hoped to protect each other well, and it was precisely this protection that made them feel more heartache for each other.

“Prince Pingnan’s son, Xiao Simu, is here as well. The Emperor praises him highly and intends to find a suitable wife for him. Xi'er, don't interfere in this matter. If the Empress Dowager asks, just say you've given it some thought but nothing concrete. Don't overstep.”

Wind Lingxi pushed open Dugu City's door, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"What does the Prince Pingnan's search for a princess consort have to do with me The Empress Dowager shouldn't be asking me to handle this as well, should she This has nothing to do with me."

Du Gucheng cautioned, “Xier, remember, if it doesn't concern you, stay out of it. While this king is away from the capital, you can spend more time with your grandfather. The old general was Father Emperor’s old subordinate, and he has a golden warrant in his hands that can protect you in critical moments. Moreover, I can see that he truly likes you. If he knew about Yumo, he would like him too.”

When Feng Cangkai is mentioned, Feng Lingxi's eyes dim.

“You shouldn't just think about yourself. You should also consider Yu Mo, right He's your beloved brother after all. He hasn't severed ties with the Feng family. With the old general around, Yu Mo's status in the Feng family will change. Plus, with Yu Mo now under my command, he will surely rise to power.”

When Feng Yu Mo was mentioned, Feng Ling Xi relented.

"I hear you."

As Dugu City said, even though Yu Mo is the illegitimate son of the Feng family and serves under Dugu City, if he achieves great feats and gains favor from his grandfather, it would be no easy feat for him to rise to power.

"I saw Yu Mo telling me and him to protect himself well, don't be a hero." Feng Lingxi instructed, she was truly worried about Yu Mo, afraid that he would disregard his safety for the sake of proving himself, afraid that something might happen to him.

Dugu City knew her worries and soothed her in a gentle voice, "This king will. He's your brother, and also this king's brother. This king will take good care of him."

Wind Ling's voice was soft, as if in agreement. For some unknown reason, her eyes welled up, her nose tingled, and she felt like crying.

Seeing Feng Ling Xi's reddened eyes, Du Gu Cheng's heart wasn't feeling good either. He didn't want to be separated from her, but for her own good, he had no choice but to do this.

"Xi'er, while I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself. I told my mother, to make sure you eat well and nourish your body. When I return, I hope to see you a little plumper."

Feng Lingxi hummed softly, feeling even more reluctant.

That night, Feng Lingxi took the initiative to kiss Dugu City, telling him her reluctance and love with her actions. This was also their first time sharing a bed after so long. Dugu City naturally didn't let her go, tossing and turning her several times until Feng Lingxi fell asleep soundly before he finally let her rest.

Early the next morning, a carriage from the General's Mansion came to pick up Feng Lingxi. It was said that the Empress had sent someone to take Feng Lingxi back to her mansion. Feng Lingxi only then remembered that she had promised Feng Yuxi to go back that day.

When Feng Lingxi got up, Dugu Cheng had already entered the palace to see the emperor and specially instructed Xiaoli to sleep a little longer. After getting up and washing up, the breakfast prepared for her by Shutai was already waiting. After finishing her meal, Feng Lingxi went to the General's Mansion.

As Dugu Cheng said, for Feng Yu Mo, her relationship with her grandfather is better. After all, she dislikes Feng Ao Tian and other people in the General's Mansion. From these days of getting to know and interacting with her grandfather, she still likes his personality. She feels he is a very forthright person.

Feng Lingxi returned to the general's mansion with Xiao Li. Standing before the gate, Feng Lingxi suddenly felt as if she were in a different world.

Feng Cangkai learned that Feng Lingxi was back, and he had the steward waiting at the door a long time ago. So as soon as Feng Lingxi arrived at General's Mansion, Feng Cangkai knew, and hurried out. Seeing Feng Lingxi standing at the door, he walked over with a smile.

"Girl, what are you doing standing there You don't even want to come in when you're home"

Feng Lingxi watched as her grandfather grabbed her arm and pulled her directly into the General's Mansion, afraid she would turn around and leave. Such cuteness made her smile involuntarily.

"Grandpa, I just got here! How did you know I came"

At the sound of his grandfather's call, Feng Cangkai's eyes almost squinted into a line from smiling. This girl was indeed sensible and knew to call him grandfather. The Fourth Prince was right, Xi’er was tough-mouthed but soft-hearted.

"Grandpa had the butler watching. The moment you arrive, Grandpa will know."

Feng Cangkai's smug smile made Feng Lingxi both laugh and cry.

"Grandpa, I can walk by myself. You're being pulled by me."

Being dragged along, the people from General's Mansion looked at her with strange eyes. Feng Lingxi merely glanced at them, and Feng Cangkai glared at them angrily, barking, "What are you all dumbfounded for, call someone!"

Welcome the Fourth Princess.

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly as she watched her grandfather instantly return to a smiling face. It was truly hard for her to believe that the ferocious old man from just moments ago was the same person.

"Grandpa, did the Empress come too"

Feng Ling's eyes swept over the surroundings, but she didn't see Feng Yu Xi. She was a bit puzzled.

"He was chatting with her mother, but the grandfather disliked her. He thought she was too fake."

Such a straightforward tone made Feng Lingxi feel a little worried.

If Feng Yu Xi knew that her grandfather disapproved of her, she would be afraid that she would attack him. Feng Yu Xi was ruthless when she got angry; there was nothing she wouldn't do.

"Grandpa, no matter what, the Empress is still your granddaughter, and she is the pride of General's Mansion."

So what, I don't like her, she's unimportant.

Feng Cangkai looked at Feng Lingxi's worried face and glared at the servants beside him, "What are you standing there for Go to work! You just spend all day gossiping. What are you being kept here for in General Feng's manor"

Feng Lingxi watched the servants disperse in a flurry, her brow furrowed. "Grandfather, do you scold these servants like this every day Don't they have any opinions"

“He is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, having to kneel there for an hour every day as a form of reflection.” Speaking of Feng Aotiān, Feng Cangkāi’s face was full of anger. “If I had known he would turn the Feng family into this mess, I shouldn't have handed it over to him back then. He even tarnished the name and reputation of the General's Mansion.”

Feng Ling Xi seeing her grandfather like this, spoke softly, "If everything was known in advance, so many things wouldn't have happened, and they couldn't be undone."

Feng Cangkai, seeing her eyes so forlorn, changed the subject.

“Don't worry about him, grandfather will take care of it. I'll give you back your home. As long as I am alive, no one in the General's Mansion will dare disrespect you or bully you.”

Feng Ling Xi's eyes clouded with mist as she watched her grandfather, who was over sixty years old, still working so hard for her. She felt a mix of emotions in her heart, a bit bitter and overwhelmed.at and share snippets of information, nothing escaped their notice.Have you heard Pingxi Wang's young miss, Luo Xiaoyun, has moved into Siwangfu.
