Chapter 818: Falling Frost Flower
Majesty, do you like this necklace Would you like me to give it to you"The Empress shook her head, smiling. "This necklace is yours; I cannot accept it."She now knows how many lives were lost for thi...Feng Lingxi took the letter and, looking at the words on it, asked, "Where's the person who sent this"
"After delivering the letter, he left."
The steward looked at the princess's expression and hurriedly said, "Should we go after them"
Feng Lingxi frowned slightly, "Can we still catch up"
Seeing the butler's hesitant expression, Feng Lingxi said calmly, "It's alright, you can go busy yourself."
The steward left with a sound. Feng Lingxi opened the letter, her brows, which were already tightly locked, creased even further as she read its contents.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong"
The owner of Tianxiang Building asked me to go there for lunch, saying they could help me find some clues.
Xiaoli's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked, "Will the Wangye go then"
Feng Lingxi didn't understand Xiaoli's reaction, "Calling him to go together, I don't know if he has time."
The king's got a doppelganger technique It's clear to see it's the same person. No idea why he wouldn't tell his wife the truth. This going around in circles, when she finds out later, she'll be accusing him again, I bet.
Dugu Cheng just returned yesterday, and she had told him about her and the owner of Tiangxianglou before. However, he didn't seem very interested. Now that the owner of Tiangxianglou has invited her again, Feng Lingxi can't help but wonder if Dugu Cheng would want to see the owner of Tiangxianglou if she went.
"What are you busy doing"
Stepping into the study, I saw Dugu City talking to Ye Xi. Hearing her voice, I gave Ye Xi a wink, and she took the envelope on the table and walked out.
"I had some military matters to attend to just now, so I asked Yexi to take my place. Have they all left"
Feng Lingxi nodded. "This is about what happened yesterday. Perhaps because of your current status and position, you came here to apologize."
Feng Lingxi sat down and saw Dugu Cheng respond, seemingly expecting their apology. He didn't show much of a reaction.
"Dugu City, why don't you ask, how did they apologize to me"
Dugu Cheng looked up, meeting Feng Ling Xi's questioning gaze, and smiled as he patted her head. "What's there to ask It's just flattery. I've heard this kind of thing countless times before."
Feng Lingxi curled her lips, grabbed a book from the table and flipped through it casually, asking nonchalantly, "The owner of Tiangxiang Tower just sent me a message asking me to have lunch with them at Tiangxiang Tower. Are you going"
Dugu Cheng frowned, "The owner of Tianxiang Building is looking for you Why"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's furrowed brow, "He said he could help me find some clues."
Dugu City thought for a moment, "Xier, go by yourself. This king has to go out of the city later, there are some things that need to be handled."
Wind Ling Xi heard him refuse, her heart was truly a little sour. Wasn't he the one who said he would accompany her
"What could be more important than this Don't you know how many people dream of meeting the owner of Tiangxianglou You're really not going What if he has feelings for me If you don't go, aren't you afraid he'll take me away"
Upon hearing her words, Du Gucheng couldn't help but widen the smile on his lips.
"Why are you laughing"
Feng Lingxi felt a bit embarrassed, and looking at Dugu City's deepening smile at the corner of his eyes, she said, "Do you think I don't have this charm"
"Xier, this King just wants to say, he won't do anything to you."
"How do you know"
Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "Do you know him"
Dugu City looked at her, neither denying nor admitting, just patted her shoulder, "Let Yumu accompany you, this king is going out of the city, this matter is very important."
Feng Lingxi looked into Dugucheng's earnest eyes and thought of what the mistress of Tianxianglou had told her, "Is it you who asked him to protect me"
Dugu City hesitated for a moment, "You can think that way, anyway he won't fight me for you."
Seeing Xi'er's confusion in her eyes, Dugu City patted her head, "Go, this king will be back later. If King Su finds you, you must be careful and don't reveal too much."
"I know my limits."
Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng stand up and prepare to leave, reaching out to grab his arm. "Will it be dangerous for you to go out of the city on business"
Dugu Cheng turned his head to meet Feng Ling Xi's worried eyes, and soothed, "Don't worry, trust this king, just wait for this king to come back."
Feng Lingxi responded and looked at Dugu City, who had changed into a set of casual clothes. She suddenly felt reluctant. It was so hard to reunite, but he started getting busy again when he came back.
"This king is leaving now, Xi'er, when are you departing"
"Later, it's still early."
Dugu Cheng nodded, it was rare to see Xi'er's reluctant gaze lingering on him. After changing his clothes, he pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't think about anything else, just do what you want. Believe in yourself."
"Okay, you take care too, don't get hurt."
獨孤城 let go of her, planting a kiss on her lips. He was reluctant to let her go, "Leave."
Watching Dugu City's departing figure, Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and went back to her room to change her clothes. It was only a stick of incense time before Feng Yumò came to Si Wangfu to find her. Seeing Feng Yumò's appearance, Feng Lingxi was somewhat surprised by his speed.
"Sister, my brother-in-law sent someone to tell me that you're going out and he wants Yu Mo to follow you and protect your safety."
Looking at her younger brother, Feng Lingxi's eyes softened. "He's pretty quick," she said.
"Although my brother-in-law says he's not worried, deep down he's afraid his sister will be taken away."
"You talk too much." Feng Lingxi chuckled, looking at Yu Mo's smiling face now. Since he came back, the smile on his face had increased, and it was a genuine happiness that could be seen from the heart.
How is your grandfather
Feng Yu Mo nodded, "Very good. Now I'm at the General's Mansion, which is my grandfather's own grandson."
Feng Lingxi was amused by his words, “Didn’t it already used to be”
"I didn't know my grandfather existed before. This time back home, I realized that he truly loves me and is a righteous man. That's what a true general should be like."
Feng Yu Mo talked about her grandfather, her words flowing endlessly with praise. She also told Feng Ling Xi about Feng Cang Kai's guidance and martial arts teachings. Feng Ling Xi could see that Yu Mo was truly happy, and it was precisely because of this that she felt her reunion with her grandfather was right.
You can disagree with Feng Aotian as their father, but Feng Cangkai, their grandfather, truly treats them like his own grandchildren. It is precisely because of this that Feng Lingxi has the thought of protecting them.
"By the way, elder sister, I think something is strange. This Feng Yihao seems off. These past few days at the General's Mansion, I've run into him many times. His eyes are full of killing intent, but he's suppressing it. Yesterday, I even tried to provoke him, but I discovered that although he hates me and wants to kill me, he doesn't even dare to show his anger."
He's afraid of being scolded by his grandfather. After all, you are now a war hero and your grandfather looks up to you. He's resentful but he can't do anything about it.
Feng Lingxi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The current situation in General Feng's Mansion is that her grandfather is the master of the house. Feng Aotian has been sent out to quell bandits, and Zhao shi, no matter what she does, is just a secondary wife. How much of a wave could she create in General Feng's Mansion Moreover, with Feng Yu Xi's current situation, all she can do is endure.ould do. She needed to know if Dugu Cheng was safe."Your Highness, the Dowager Empress has just entered the palace. The Empress summoned her and asked me to tell you to take good care of Princess Luo....
