Chapter 305: Seize Power (Part 60)

Yu Xi took the purple star and looked at it, shaking her head."I don't know, maybe."Wind and Rain hurriedly said, "Hide it well so that no one sent by the Empress Dowager can steal it. Since this is..."Who can be used"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, she should be able to, right How to say it, this treasure is now under her management, there's no reason why she can't use it.

Yao Wan-ying smiled and said, "Who do you want to give it to"

"Xier thinks I can use it"

Feng Lingxi looked at the smile in Dugu City's eyes, feeling a little flustered.

"Just kidding, since this treasure is guarded by the Yao Clan, there's naturally a true owner. When that person appears, it will naturally be usable."

"As the Fourth King said, this treasure must wait for its true owner."

Feng Lingxi looked at the Zi Xing pendant around her neck, feeling that this treasure's owner must be her. But she couldn't understand why its owner would need so much money.

Food and drink are definitely not something that can be finished. If she were to give them away, she feels it would be inappropriate, as it would attract unnecessary scrutiny and the perception of "getting something for nothing." She believes this would disrupt the natural order of things.

"Just tell me later who your mother thinks is the owner of the treasure, and I'll keep it safe for now."

Dugu Cheng watched her seriously put the Zi Xing away, a smile deepening on his face, "Xi'er, now that you have money, remember to treat me to a meal sometime."

"It doesn't cost much to eat a meal, I can treat you right now."

The Empress bestowed upon her a great many jewels. If she were to sell them, the proceeds would be enough for her to live comfortably for quite some time.

"Xi'er, were you sure the person you saw that day was Yao Feifei She was with an elderly man and several younger people older than her"

Feng Lingxi nodded fiercely, "Yes, it's them. They call her Miss and speak arrogantly and menacingly. They must be the Yao Feifei you're talking about."

Thinking about Yao Feifei's attitude that day, Feng Lingxi was very angry. She even said that she was a stupid woman. It was her who was the stupid one.

"It seems Yao Feifei escaped and came here. The person she made an appointment with is probably nearby. We'll increase our manpower these days to see if we can find the person she's meeting and take them all down in one go."

Yao Wan'ying nodded, looking at Dugu Cheng, "You are right, since they came for Xi'er's Purple Star, if Xi'er appears these days, they will definitely seize the opportunity."

"Mother, are you making me bait"

Feng Lingxi's face was pale. If Yao Feifei really started fighting, it would definitely be Feng Lingxi who got hurt.

Dugu Cheng grabbed her hand, "Don't be afraid, I'll stay with you, and won't let her hurt you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her expression complex. She didn't want this to happen, but she spoke, and they wouldn't stand in her position to think about it.

"Xier, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

Seeing that Feng Lingxi was unhappy, Yao Wanying hurriedly explained, "I asked you to go out just so that Yao Feifei would know you were here, so we could find the right time to make our move."

"The most frightening thing is that Yao Feifei's people have already set their sights on Xi'er. Even if we don't go out, they will find an opportunity to attack her." Dugu City spoke, it had been several days since that day, it was impossible to be completely without a trace.

Feng Lingxi heard Dugu Cheng's words and her face changed, "You mean, no matter whether I go out or not, they will harm me"

Dugu City looked at the worry in her eyes and comforted, "Xi'er, their target is Zi Xing. The Zi Xing on you is what they want. It's also possible that because you are the Holy Maiden, they want to take revenge on your mother and might even poison you."

These are all things that could very well happen. Dugu City felt it was necessary to explain clearly to Xi'er, so that if something did happen, she would know about it.

"The Fourth Prince is right, these days you must go out with Xiao Li, never leaving her side. It's best if the Fourth Prince or the Crown Prince accompanies you. I will also have people secretly protect you here."

"Mother, please don't say anymore, I'm afraid."

Hearing their words, Feng Lingxi's whole body bristled.

"Xier, with me, don't be afraid."

Feng Lingxi bit her lip. She had a good impression of Dugucheng at first, but now she felt some resistance towards him. What he said made her very uncomfortable. She was already afraid, and after hearing this, her fear grew even stronger.

"You can't protect me every second, how could I not be afraid."

"Then you marry me, so I can protect you closely."

Dugu Cheng laughed, watching Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment, her face changed drastically, "How are you like Huangfu Qingyun, just know to talk nonsense."

"He also said that to you"

The smile gradually disappeared, and Dugu Cheng couldn't laugh anymore. Xi'er was his woman, his wife. It was natural for him to say these words. How could Huangfu Qingyun and Xi'er say such things

"He asked me to be his princess, isn't that the same"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's puffed-up expression, forcefully suppressing the sourness in his heart and asked, "Then how did you answer him Don't you want to marry him"

"No way, I don't want to anyway." Feng Lingxi looked at her mother, "I want to go home with mother."

Yao Wan'ying gave Duguo City a meaningful glance, signaling him to ease up. Xi'er seemed to have developed some resentment towards him now. If Huangfu Qingyun truly gained Xi'er's favor, and she ended up marrying Huangfu Qingyun in the end, Duguo City would regret it deeply.

"Just kidding, I haven't decided if I want to marry you yet."

Dugu Cheng let out a sinister smile, looking at Feng Lingxi's stunned expression, he teased, "Didn't expect it, hehe."

Feng Lingxi glared at Dugu Cheng and complained to Yao Wan'ying, "Mother, he bullied me."

"Who let you always bully me before"

Du Gu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi involuntarily think of the scene where they accidentally kissed when she fell just now. Her ears turned red, and thinking of Du Gu Cheng's expressionless face, could it be that they were really good friends before

"Xier, it's almost time for dinner. If you want to move out of the Prince's Mansion and live with your mother, she'll have them tidy up the house in Zhaoduo and move in with her."

Feng Ling's eyes lit up, "Mother, can I really move out and live with you"

Yao Wan'ying looked heartbroken, "Of course, you are your mother's only daughter. As long as you want to."

She truly owed Xier so much, from childhood to adulthood, she had owed her too much.

"Of course, Xi'er is willing. But she needs to tell Qingyun about this, otherwise he will be unhappy."

Yao Wanying nodded, “Let me tell you first, Fourth Prince will be living with me too. The manor is big enough anyway, and you all can live in your own courtyards. That way, we can look out for each other.”

“That's no problem at all,” he said. “He told me I used to stay at his place often, and it’s fine.”

Yaowanghui looked at Dugucheng. Seeing him nod, she let out a long sigh.

"You guys chat, Mother's going for a walk."

Feng Lingxi saw her mother leave, her eyes full of confusion.

"Dugu City, why do I feel my mother isn't happy Does she have something on her mind"

“Your mother is the Saintess of the Yao clan. Now that there is a traitor within the Yao clan and you have lost your memory, she naturally has many worries. You should understand her.”hey just followed her orders and did their best. Her life was a life, and the soldiers' lives were also lives. It was because of this that she made such demands. If there was no fighting, there would...
