Chapter 497: Revenge 141
ed in this newly tilled land could provide enough food to ensure the people here have no worries about clothing or sustenance. Why not let me designate this area as a village, give it a new name, and..."I said no, will you think I'm cold-blooded and heartless"
Feng Lingxi asked back, seeing Dugu City shake his head and smile faintly at him. "Since you already know the answer, why ask me again"
Dugu Cheng pulled her into his embrace with tenderness, and whispered softly, "Xi'er, from now on, I will be by your side. No matter what you want to do, you have to tell me. I won't allow anyone to bully you, understand"
Feng Ling Xi raised her head, looking into his eyes filled with heartache and reluctance. She quickly pressed a kiss to his lips and smiled brightly, "I know."
Dugu Cheng pinched her nose, looking at her playful expression. He genuinely hoped she could stay this way forever, letting go of the burdens she carried and living a happier life.
"Your Majesty, breakfast is served."
Little Li entered with breakfast and saw the King and Queen hugging, so she hurriedly turned her back and apologized, "I didn't see anything."
"If I'm not blind, how come I can't see"
Feng Lingxi sat down properly and looked at Xiaoli like this, the smile on her face became even more brilliant. She said to Dugu City, "Have breakfast with me."
Xiao Li hurriedly put down her breakfast and stepped aside.
"Shall we go for a walk after dinner"
Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Dugu City serve her soup. She glanced at the gloomy sky outside. The rain made her reluctant to go out, but it was winter, and she also wanted to go for a walk outside.
"Xiao Li, go tell Ye Xi to prepare the horses. You'll be going with us in a while."
"The weather outside isn't very good, Your Highness," said Dugu City. "I'm taking you to meet someone. You'll be happy."
"Who"
Dugu Cheng looked at her eyes, a glimmer of understanding in them, and smiled. "You'll know when we get there," he said.
Feng Lingxi pouted, Dugu Cheng smiled gently and reached out to wipe the soup from the corner of her lips. His doting eyes made Feng Lingxi's heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but think about what her mother and wet nurse had said. If she and Dugu Cheng had a child, would the child look like her or like Dugu Cheng
Dugu City's looks are also a rare sight among handsome men. If he had a son who was as outstanding as him, it wouldn't be bad either.
Thinking about it, Feng Ling Xi became lost in thought, her eyes fixed on Du Gu Cheng with fascination. Du Gu Cheng, seeing Feng Ling Xi staring at him like this, smiled even wider, his expression more indulgent than ever.
"Xier, does your husband look good"
Hearing Dugu Cheng's teasing voice, Feng Lingxi withdrew her gaze and glared at him angrily, "Isn't it just looking at you a few more times Are you unhappy"
"Of course, I'm happy to. Just seeing you makes my mouth water."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly reached out and touched her chin. There was no saliva at all. Feng Lingxi's face flushed red, and as she looked into Du Gucheng's smiling eyes, her face became even hotter.
"You're drooling."
Lowering her head, Feng Lingxi hurriedly finished her breakfast, but her heart was pounding in her chest because of his words just now.
Du Gu Cheng saw that she was embarrassed, and he didn't tease her. After having breakfast, he took her out. They rode in a carriage out of the city for about ten miles before it stopped at a manor. Feng Ling Xi looked at the plaque above the gate of the manor and asked Du Gu Cheng doubtfully, "This manor's name feels a bit like it was named after me"
Xi Cheng Mountain Villa, wasn't it named after her and Dugu City
Dugu City nodded, "How is it Don't you think it's pretty good"
"Is this your manor"
Feng Lingxi asked Dugu City alone, seeing him shake his head, she curiously followed his footsteps, entered the courtyard, and looking at the scenery inside, she was dumbfounded.
"This manor was a wedding gift given to this king and you by the Jade Emperor's Mother."
Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi widen her eyes. Seeing him nod, she smiled and said, "Are you surprised"
"You said this was given to you by my mother"
"This is one of the Yao Clan's properties in the capital. This manor wasn't called this before; later, the Queen Mother bestowed it upon this king, and I changed its name. It's been almost a year now."
"My mother is so biased! I'm her own flesh and blood, and she didn't even give me one. "
Feng Lingxi was truly sour. Her daughter had nothing, but Dugu City, with such a large manor, simply gave it to him.
Du Gucheng took her hand and said, "My mother-in-law said that this manor was given to me by the emperor so that I could accomplish great things. When I'm inconvenient, this place will be my best refuge."
Dugu City looked at Feng Ling Xi's expression of pouting, and continued, "Do you remember when this King often took Ye Xi out of the city and didn't return home at night It was right here."
Feng Lingxi looked at him, her heart aching. "Why didn't you tell me anything Do you know how worried I was when you and Ye Xi didn't come back"
Hearing Xi'er admit to being worried, Dugu City tightened his grip on her hand. "This king didn't tell you because he didn't want you to be implicated, but now things are different. You know the situation in the court, and this king also knows that you are stronger than this king imagined."
After bringing her into the manor, Feng Lingxi realized that this seemingly ordinary manor was actually a place for collecting intelligence. Dark guards and assassins were trained here. Only when Dugu City told her did she realize that Dugu City was far stronger than she had imagined.
"This time, the poison that Dugu Yan was inflicted with could only be cured by Dugu Xiu himself. Although Dugu Xiu was ambitious and desired the throne, the current situation meant that if he truly let Dugu Yan die, he wouldn't be able to ascend to the throne when the Western Regions envoys arrived. This is why he spared Dugu Yan, and as a result, he gained Dugu Yan's favor."
Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "Then there's another kind of poison. Who did it and was it cured"
“As for that, this King is unaware. This morning, Dugu Yan's condition had improved. As for whether the other poisons have been cured, this King is unclear.”
Feng Yu Xi's words today, could it be that she was thinking of teaming up with her to deal with Dugu Xiu because tomorrow Dugu Yan's life is in Dugu Xiu's hands
"Xier, let's not worry about what Duguxiu did for now. Now that Du Gany has been cured of the poison, I believe he will soon discover that Duguxiu was behind it. When the time comes, we will definitely deal with Duguxiu. With his abilities, he will definitely seek help from me. I just need to agree to help him and let them fight each other."
"If Dugu Yan didn't ask for your help, what about cooperating with Dugu Xiu"
What Dugu Cheng said is indeed possible, but who dares to guarantee that Dugu Yan wouldn't give up the throne After all, that puppet emperor, he might be tired of it too.
"This possibility is too small. You don't understand Dugu Yan, he wouldn't cooperate with Dugu Xiu. He has his own ambitions; otherwise, how would he have teamed up with the Empress Dowager to poison his father and ascend to the throne"
Du Gu Cheng's analysis is not without reason, but Feng Ling Xi still feels that if she were Du Gu Yan, she would definitely believe Du Gu Xiu, after all, they are brothers. For Du Gu Xiu, Du Gu Cheng is the biggest threat, and he would try to get rid of him.
Even if Dugu Yan doesn't cooperate with the Fourth Prince, he would find other princes to cooperate with. In short, it wouldn't be Dugu Xiu.
A familiar voice came, Feng Lingxi's body trembled, she turned to look at the person, and walked forward with joy.
