Chapter 961: Transformation 35
I feel sorry for you, anyway, since we've already gotten this far... "Before he could finish his words, Dugu City suddenly let out a pained groan.Feng Lingxi elbowed Dugu Cheng's chest hard, and said..."Indeed, the Prince's meaning is..."
Du Gu Su glanced at Huan Yue, “Thinking about it, this kid has reached the age where his heart begins to bloom. You should know what to do.”
"I shall make the arrangements at once."
Feng Lingxi sneezed and glanced at the cold winter outside. She vaguely remembered her mother's fall from a cliff that year, when she had also braved the icy wind to go to Yaozu. Unexpectedly, this time she was going back to Yaozu again under such similar circumstances.
Calculating the time, we'll still be on the way during the New Year.
"Xier, what are you thinking about"
Dugu City hugged Feng Lingxi from behind, burying his head in her neck, "Do you miss me"
I miss Wantou.
Dugu Cheng looked at the gloomy sky outside, "Dugu Cheng, do you think this trip out of the capital will be able to safely bring your mother back to Linxi County Although Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu agreed to your departure from the capital, your purpose for this trip is also difficult. Besides, Dugu Yu doesn't want you to leave, I'm worried he will interfere."
"He doesn't want me to leave, does he There's still Dugu Su who wants me gone. He'll stop Dugu Yu."
Feng Lingxi thought about it, "This Dugu Yu's return to the capital this time, I don't know his purpose. However, since he has returned, he must be coming for the throne. Holding onto you so tightly, he wants to take advantage of your father's love for you and use you to seize power."
"Xi'er is right, but Dugusu won't get his way. We just need to wait for the right moment. As for this power struggle, let them fight it out. We won't take sides."
"When a frog and a clam fight, the fisherman benefits. It's just that we don't know if this fisherman is us or someone else."
Feng Lingxi smiled, "This Yuan Dynasty is now in such chaos, yet they still fight endlessly for the throne. If this continues, the court will be destroyed. I wonder what they are fighting for."
"Isn't there the saying, 'While the mantis stalks the cicada, the yellow sparrow waits in the wings'"
"Dugu Cheng said softly, "We don't care. At present, we won't fight or argue. They are very aggressive right now, let them fight it out."
"Speaking of which, didn't Dugu Yu forbid himself from returning to the capital How did he come back on his own"
What upset her the most was that the imperial court didn't punish him at all.
If the Empress Dowager doesn't speak up, will he be able to return These were all secretly planted by them. You think the Empress Dowager is foolish This Dugu Xiu is also her biological son. Even if he is incompetent, being emperor is better than Dugu Su. If she joins forces with me, this court would belong to me! If she allies with Dugu Yu, weighing the pros and cons, this empire would still be hers.
Feng Lingxi thought about it, that's right. This Empress Cen was still unwilling to give up the imperial power. No matter how good she spoke, she wouldn't let go of the Yao clan's treasure. She even allowed Dugu City to flatter her and wanted to continue cooperating to spy on the Yao clan's treasures.
"I told my mother about leaving the capital. However, this time I'm worried about danger along the way, so Xi'er, you need to separate from me first and stay far away. We'll meet up and travel together once we are a safe distance apart."
Since they were going to the border to seek peace, naturally, they couldn't leave Beijing in a grand and ostentatious manner.
"I know, Luo Li has already said so and made all the arrangements. I'll leave tomorrow."
"Leaving tomorrow"
Dugu City frowned, holding Feng Lingxi's hand unwilling to let go, "That means we will be separated tomorrow."
Wind Ling Xi felt awkward all over at the reluctance in Dugu Cheng's voice. It had been a long time since Wind Ling Xi had been so close to Dugu Cheng, this sudden change was truly unfamiliar.
"Isn't it just a few days apart We'll reunite once we're out of the city."
"Just listen to Douxie."
Dugu Cheng's tone was sweet, and his voice made Feng Lingxi's ears redden involuntarily.
"You're acting kind of strange today. You've become so well-behaved, it's almost like you're not yourself."
"Where doesn't it seem right"
獨孤城 leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Isn't that always the case"
This sound, sunk into my bones.
Feng Lingxi even felt her ears were going to be pregnant, this man, what game was he playing today.
"Don't be ridiculous."
"That..." Dugu City paused, "Shall we rest earlier"
Her body was lifted into the air, Feng Lingxi's hands wrapped around his neck. She knew that Dugu City wouldn't let her go tonight, but she was willing.
After a restless night, Feng Lingxi had to get up early. The carriage for her departure was already prepared, waiting only for her to board. Looking at Duguo City's reluctant gaze, Feng Lingxi didn't even dare to meet his eyes. She had hardly slept all night, but he seemed very energetic.
It's time to go.
Luo Li glanced at Du Gu Cheng, "I don't know how to restrain oneself."
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes tender, "Xier, remember to wait for me."
Feng Lingxi responded and got into the carriage. Looking at Li Wuyan who was sitting in the carriage, when he saw Feng Lingxi come up, Li Wuyan's eyes fell on her neck and looked away.
Feng Ling subconsciously touched her neck, it shouldn't be that obvious, right
Li Wuyan half-closed his eyes, saying nothing.
"Coming and going like this isn't worth staying up all night over."
"Are you spying"
Wind Ling stared at Luo Li, "I am married to Du Gu Cheng, if you liked him, you wouldn't..." She winked at Li Wu Yan, and Luo Li swallowed the words she had about to say.
Superficial.
Luo Li hurriedly opened her eyes, not daring to look directly at Li Wu Yan, fearing he would misunderstand her.
Feng Lingxi's smile widened at the corner of her lips, "I will sleep, Chieftain, take care."
Luo Li was whipped by the wind, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth. It made him feel guilty for some reason. Did Feng Ling see through him
The carriage traveled steadily along the road. Along the way, there were assassins who attempted to attack, but they were all eliminated before they could get close. It can be said that the journey was safe and sound. After several days of travel, they arrived safely at the inn.
"Just wait here for Dugu City and his group. Our speed isn't fast, we should only need to wait a day for them to arrive."
Feng Lingxi walked into the inn, settled in, and then went upstairs to rest.
This inn was left to her by the previous owner. She remembered the pouch of treasures the owner had left her, carrying it with her at all times without daring to open it. Upon returning here, Feng Lingxi and the current proprietress exchanged glances but did not recognize each other.
"This person kind of looks like Feng YiXuan"
Luo Li looked at the young man dressed as a waiter, curiously examining him closely. He really did look like Feng YiXuan, but wasn't Feng YiXuan already dead
"There are many people who look alike in the world."
Li Wuyan took a sip of tea. "There's nothing to look at."
Luo Li listened to his words, frowned, and tried her best to recall, but she still couldn't figure it out.
"Fourth Princess."
Tian Xiaomi pushed open the door and walked in. Xiao Li hurried forward to close the door. Tian Xiaomi held a bowl of bird's nest and said, "This is for you."
"Xiaomi, long time no see."
Tian Xiaomi giggled playfully, she hadn't seen them in over a year, but she had grown even more charming and graceful.
"I've been waiting for the Princess for a long time, looking forward to it the whole while, but it seems like the Princess has forgotten about me."
"How could that be, I just couldn't leave. So much happened this past year."t her appetite. She was only worried about his safety and wouldn't kill him immediately. Who could guarantee they wouldn't torture Dugu Cheng"Your Highness, why aren't you eating Is the food not to yo...
