Chapter 1617: Holding Hands for Life 25 >

ddenly change your taste and start liking spicy food, you might have to suffer some pain. Unlike me, I've always eaten plain rice and simple meals since I was young, anything goes. My stomach is like...Feng Ling Xi returned to the room and sat on Feng Aotian's bedside, looking at his sleeping face. Her mood was quite complicated.

When he first arrived, his arrogance was apparent. Now, it's completely gone.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has arrived."

A young maid from the door came in to report, and then Du Gucheng followed, accompanied by a group of guards. The whole scene had changed dramatically.

"Xi'er, are you alright"

“What could I possibly have to do, but you, how did you come here”

Wouldn't this big brother be here quicker if you called him

"This morning, I heard the ministers' reports at court. After hearing the news, I hurried here to see for myself. Is General Feng alright"

Feng Lingxi gave way, "Inside, the head was injured, with a piece of metal removed. Now it needs to be recuperated properly, but the head was severely injured, but fortunately, consciousness is clear."

"This king has already taken charge of matters here and will definitely investigate thoroughly."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the fatigue on Dugu Cheng's face. "These two days I have to stay here, Feng Aotian is afraid there will still be danger."

"What do you suspect" Dugu Cheng wondered. The sudden death of Zhao Shi and Feng Aotien's misfortune shocked him. This was not the work of the prime minister, but over the years, although Feng Aotien's interpersonal relationships were not bad, they were not outstanding either. Who could have moved against him at this critical juncture

"Yao people."

Feng Lingxi walked to the side and sat down, "Yaozu made a move. Feng Aotien told me, he said it's not safe here."

He and his mother-in-law had long since severed ties. Why would the Yao clan target him Could it be because of the Zhao family

"The Zhao clan are indeed Yao people, but the Yao clan came for Feng Aotien not because of them, but because of my mother. They want something she has in her possession, and since they can't get it from her, they won't kill him, but neither will they leave him."

Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu City instantly understand. No wonder the Zhao family died suddenly, it seemed because she had no more use value.

"Aren't you in danger staying here The Yao clan has no intention of keeping you."

獨孤城's eyes were full of worry, "This King has increased the guards protecting Feng Jun, you still shouldn't be here."

"It's fine, they won't kill me right away if they come. If they really wanted to kill me, they wouldn't be able to accomplish their grand scheme. After all, Zixing recognizes me as her master, and I am currently Zixing's only master. You need both a sacrificial offering and a key, don't you"

Feng Lingxi's voice was loud, she knew that everyone in the shadows could hear her. Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to deal with it quickly and not drag it on. Since the Yao clan had already made a move, if she dragged it on any longer, even if she survived, few people around her would live.

"Xier, you have to be careful."

獨孤城聽著她的這些話，暗暗握拳，朝中的事情剛剛穩定，瑤族這邊就動手了，皇上如今雖然醒了，可是他卻並冇有打算處理朝政的意思，現在朝中大小事都由他處理，戰事又告急，他每天都忙的無暇分身。

Yet, the Yao people surprisingly quickened their pace.

"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet You know how hard it is for me to stay alive, I can't just hang up like that."

Dugu Cheng heard Feng Lingxi's words, his heart ached even more for her. It turned out she had never forgotten that she didn't belong to this world.

"So, have you figured out how to check it"

Feng Lingxi asked, seeing Du Gu Cheng silent, she suggested, "Why don't you take me with you Although my identity is different now, as long as you agree, no one would dare to say anything, right"

"We've all reconciled, who dares to speak ill of you."

獨孤城輕笑，“說吧，要本王怎麼配合你調查？”

Feng Lingxi's face flushed. "I want to go see Zhao Shi's body, but I'm not too comfortable leaving Feng Aotian here. His safety comes first." Besides, the secret room Feng Aotian had told her about must be where he kept his mother's belongings for her. She wanted to go and have a look, but at this crucial moment, she had to be careful.

"Here, I have sent people to keep watch. Let's go and see Zhao's body. We should have the coroner examine it and find out the cause of death."

Feng Lingxi wanted to say that she could actually check the cause of Zhao Shi's death, but thinking about it, it was pretty good to have someone do it for her. It would save her from gossip.

This morning, the ministers suggested that I reconcile with you as soon as possible. Because your status is different now, the ministers hope that after the reconciliation, Xigu Kingdom and Dayuan Dynasty can maintain an alliance and avoid war.

Duguxing truthfully reported, "These days, the small countries on the border have followed in the footsteps of Huangxia Dynasty and raised their troops to attack. Feng Yumuo hasn't sent any news yet. Other small countries also want to take advantage of the situation, and with the news of the emperor's serious illness spreading, people are panicking."

"The Kingdom of Xi Gu seems to have never intended to start a war. Those small countries submitting to the big ones are simply not strong enough. Over the years, the Great Yuan Dynasty has changed several emperors, and with internal turmoil in the court, they haven't been united, which is why they've become like this now."

Feng Lingxi saw the worry in Dugu Cheng's eyes. She didn't need to think to know that over the past few years, Dugu Yan and Empress Cen had been working hard to ruin the Great Yuan Dynasty. If it weren't for Dugu Cheng holding power now, things would be even worse.

Dugu City is now gradually recovering, in just a few days, the ministers in the court have turned against him one after another, it can be seen that his ability.

"Your Majesty, I wish to reconcile with you, not for the Great Yuan Dynasty, but simply because I want to face what's to come with you. I know that what lies ahead will be the true test of us."

He always thought he could protect Xi'er, so he did everything regardless, not even telling her. He thought this kind of protection was right, but now he realizes how ridiculous it is.

He wants to tell Xier everything now, and he also wants to face it with her, no matter good or bad, because he knows this is what Feng Lingxi wants, and what he wants too.

"Didn't everyone say they were getting back together ages ago They're back together, that's all."

"This refreshing"

獨孤城被風淩兮爽快的答應給嚇愣住了，風淩兮挽著他的手，“快走啊，我還得去查趙氏的死因。”

"Good."

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi's smile, astonished. Xi'er seemed to have changed a lot. He thought she would say he got back together with her to please her, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.

Dugu Cheng's heart was filled with sweetness as he looked at Feng Lingxi's smile. Only then did he realize that Xi'er's change also lay in the fact that she now told him everything. With such open honesty between them, sharing their secrets, there were no more of the tangled knots they used to have.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling Have you said anything about when you will return to attend to state affairs"

"Much better, but I don't really want to handle state affairs, just leave it all to me." In the face of Feng Lingxi's question, Dugu Cheng answered every question, and Feng Lingxi would also tell Dugu Cheng not to overstep his bounds, lest he be misunderstood by the emperor.
