Chapter 273: Seize Power 28

he was unwilling to believe it.He feared most that his mother had passed away. He wasn't afraid of the difficulty of the search, only that he wouldn't have the opportunity to look for her."I don't kn...Dugu City replied, "I will follow my mother's arrangements."

The Wind Lady looked at Dugu City, "Xi'er fell off the cliff, do you know who did it"

"It was a stormy evening. The Empress Dowager gave her the task of snatching Zi Xing and killing Xi'er. That day, this King shouldn't have let her go out to collect sulfur stones. If she hadn't gone, nothing would have happened to her. It's all my fault."

“This is all her fate, you don’t have to worry. Xi'er has the purple star protecting her, nothing will happen to her. Back then, if I hadn’t been playing and fallen off a cliff, being saved by Feng Aotien, I wouldn’t have had Xi’er with him. Thinking about it now, it’s all fate, just go with the flow.”

獨孤城 was astonished, "Did your mother-in-law also fall off a cliff Could falling off a cliff be the fate of Yao clan women"

"Just a coincidence."

Wind Madam said lightly, looking at Dugu City's disheartened eyes, "There are some things I can't tell you easily. The secrets of the Yao tribe, I will tell you when the time is right. This time, you escorted me back, I won't treat you badly."

“No, besides Xi’er, you must also avenge your mother concubine and father emperor. The Jiangshan of the Great Yuan Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager. Her ambition is too great. Now she has her eyes on Zi Xing. After this, it will be all of the world. Do you want to see the world ravaged by war under her rule, with people displaced and homeless”

獨孤城 frowned, he didn't want to, but right now he only wanted to find Xi'er. As for the rest, he didn't want to think about it.

"Xier is important to you, but you are also important to the people of the world. I know I'm not qualified to say these things."

Dugu Cheng raised his head and hurriedly said, “Mother-in-law, although I am a prince, you are Xi'er’s mother, naturally qualified to speak. Right now, I only want to find Xi'er, I have no thoughts on vying for the world.” Without Xi'er, what use would the world be to him.

"Do you truly like Xier this much"

Wind Lady was somewhat incredulous. Seeing him nod, his eyes resolute, she suddenly smiled.

"In that case, you should know even better what it's like for the people of the world to be without you."

Dugu Cheng fell silent. His stepmother's words made him even more aware of the weight on his shoulders. He wanted to find Xi'er and take on the responsibility he was meant to bear.

"Take your time these few days and think it over. Shouldering this responsibility isn't something that can be done overnight. You also shouldn't rush to bring down the Empress Dowager."

Dugu City responded, looking at Yue Mu's injured foot, "Yue Mu, is your foot still..."

"Going to the Yao Clan with me and calling my mother 'aunt' will only cause unnecessary conflict. From now on, just call me your wife."

Dugu City responded, "My wife."

Feng Fu's hands were clasped together in prayer, silently. Dugu Cheng watched her like this, got up and walked outside, looking at Ye Xi guarding outside, "Rest here for a few days, escort the lady home."

"My lord, shouldn't we go look for the princess"

Ye Xi hurriedly asked, glancing around the room, "Or is the Princess still at her mother's house"

"Escort the madam home first, then go look for Xi'er."

Xi'er's mother is his mother. He met his wife here, it was fate. He couldn't protect Xi'er, but being able to give protection to Xi'er's mother might be heaven's chance for him to atone.

"Your Highness, I'm going to find some food."

As dusk approached, Ye Xi gave a final reminder before leaving.

Imperial Prince's Mansion

Feng Lingxi came to her senses in the late afternoon, looking at the maidservants tending to the house. She got up and walked over to them.

"Miss Lin, you're awake."

"Miss Lin"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and the maid looked at her with delight. "Miss Lin, you can speak! That's great. I'll go call His Highness the Prince now."

"Huh..."

Feng Lingxi watched the maidservant run away excitedly, patted her belly, and figured she'd grab something to eat on the way. She was starving.

Huangfu Qingyun heard the sound and came over, looking at Feng Lingxi sitting at the table, hurriedly stepping forward, "You're awake"

Feng Lingxi looked at him and hurriedly said, "I'm hungry."

Huangfu Qingyun was stunned. He didn't expect her first words to him to be 'I'm hungry'. For a moment, he was speechless. Feng Lingxi reached out and waved her hand in front of his face. Huangfu Qingyun quickly ordered, "Go get some food ready."

Have you eaten

Feng Lingxi glanced at the sky outside. It wasn't too dark, so she probably hadn't eaten yet

"Not yet, would you like to have a meal together later"

Feng Lingxi nodded happily, “Then I want to eat meat, lots and lots of meat.”

Huangpu Qingyun watched her smile, those shallow dimples were very pretty, her eyes soft in response, "Good, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have them make it for you."

"Thank you, Prince. You're so kind to me."

Feng Ling xi was so happy like a child, just like a child who ate candy, that smile made people watching feel their worries disappear.

"My name is Huangfu Qingyun, you can call me Qingyun."

"But how can that be You are the Crown Prince, they all call you Your Highness, how can I be any different"

Feng Lingxi, seeing the maid carrying the dishes in, ran over excitedly, her stomach growling even louder.

You are different from them.

She's the imperial princess betrothed to him before their marriage, how could she be like them.

Feng Lingxi handed him chopsticks. Huangfu Qingyun took them, looking at her with both eyes fixed on the food, a doting expression on his face, "Eat."

"I'm starving, I need to eat first before we talk."

Feng Lingxi took her chopsticks and started to eat. Huangfu Qingyun watched her eat with relish, not at all like the reserved manner of a noblewoman. However, he quite liked her personality, which was very comfortable to watch. Unlike those girls who put on airs, she was genuine.

"Your Highness, you're not eating"

Huangfu Qingyun watched her clip vegetables for him, a faint smile on his lips. "Eat."

Feng Lingxi continued to eat, rice grains clinging to her lips, oblivious. Her clear eyes met those of Huangfu Qingyun, pure and unadulterated, like a mirror reflecting truth.

"When you have a headache, do you call Lin Xi Is that your name"

"Ling Xi"

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangpu Qingyun and tried her best to think, "I don't remember."

"You seem to really like this name, calling it even in your sleep. From now on, you'll be called Lin Xi."

Feng Lingxi listened, smiling and nodding. "I like this."

Seeing her accept this name, Huangpu Qingyun thought to himself, she must really care about this name. Otherwise, why would she faint because of it

"You don't have to remember what happened before, just stay here and rest."

But I have no money.

Feng Lingxi looked at him, "You are the prince, you're not short of money, right"

Huangpu Qingyun was amused by her words, "Yes, I'm not short of money, so rest assured, I don't care how much money you want."

Feng Lingxi charged at him with another dazzling smile, after eating her fill, she stood up, "I'm full, I'm going for a walk."

"I'll go with you."

Huangpu Qingyun got up and followed. Feng Lingxi looked at the things on his table, without eating much, “Aren’t you hungry”

"Protecting you is more important." It wasn't a good time to look for him to discuss matters."Keep an eye on him and inform the Chieftain of Dugu Xiu's whereabouts. Also, inquire about the current location of Dugu Cheng."It has been ov...
