Chapter 929: Metamorphosis 3
If something happens to him, this king doesn't know how to explain it to the Xia Dynasty.""I'll do my best."Dugu Cheng returned to Feng Ling Xi's side, looking at the bird's nest in front of her, "Ea...Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, but didn't answer.
After a while, Dugu City spoke, "Tell me your conditions."
"I want Sun Cheng and his men, those soldiers of mine from when I was in Linxi County. I want you to list them all for me, and absolutely no inquiry into their families."
Dugu Cheng heard this, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, "Don't you want to ask what this king wants you to do"
Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over, "Isn't it just going back to the capital to see the Empress Dowager of Dayuan"
Dugu Cheng narrowed his eyes, looking at Feng Lingxi's confident expression, "So you agree then"
"A month later, I will go see her."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You agreed to my terms, so I naturally won't treat you badly. A month later, I will go to the Great Yuan Dynasty, and then I will see her."
A month later
Dugu Cheng looked at Huangfu Qingyun beside him. Xi'er was going to enter the capital, how could he not tell him
Huángfǔ Qīngyún couldn't believe that Fēng Língxī would say she would enter the capital in a month. Her eyes were full of doubt.
"Xier, are you going to the Great Yuan Dynasty"
Feng Lingxi nodded, but didn't say much.
Huangfu Qingyun knew that Feng Lingxi didn't want to tell the reason in front of Dugu City, so he stopped asking.
"If my request wasn't this, but for you to return to my side and continue as my Fourth Royal Wife"
Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi smile, "Back to your side"
Although she had always longed for this day, Feng Lingxi found it rather amusing to hear the news from Duguxing's mouth. Was Duguxing trying to keep her around to protect himself and Huanyue
"Before the Fourth King's decree has even cooled, you're already eager to take it back Even for your beloved beauty, you should consider your own status. Since you've already parted ways, why bring it up again"
Looking at Dugu Cheng's still cold eyes, Feng Lingxi's heart would still ache.
As expected, she still ended up marrying Dugu Su for Huanyue. It seems Dugu Cheng is still willing to pay any price for that woman.
Feng Lingxi wanted to test if Dugu City was putting on an act, but it seemed like she had overthought things.
Dugu City truly forgot her, his heart was always occupied by that fantasy moon.
Regardless of whether Huanyue marries or not, he only thinks about her.
Taking a deep breath to calm the turmoil within, Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, "This is all I have to say today. Fourth Prince, if you agree, we can continue talking. If not, there's nothing more to be said."
Feng Lingxi got up and was about to leave, but Dugu City stopped her.
"Are they really worth a trip to the Great Yuan Dynasty for"
Feng Ling Xi turned her gaze, meeting Du Gu Cheng's icy eyes, and smiled. "Could it be that the Fourth Prince thinks they are unworthy, but you are"
"You..."
Feng Ling's smile at the corner of her lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a coldness that made Du Gucheng's heart tremble. This look seemed to return to when they first met, and in that instant, Du Gucheng regretted it.
But regret is useless, he can only wait for the right opportunity to explain.
"This king will cooperate with you."
Feng Lingxi curled her lips, "Very well. I'll have someone pick them up. Fourth Prince, remember your promise. I hope you keep your word and don't bully their families."
"This king is not there yet."
Dugu City stood up and left. Huangfu Qingyun watched Dugu City walk away, then asked Feng Lingxi, "Xier, are you really going back to the Great Yuan Dynasty"
"It probably will."
Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun, "A month's journey back and forth is enough."
"What are you doing there Did you really go there for Dugu City's conditions"
Feng Lingxi shook her head, "No, I just want to plant some intelligence agents in the Yuan Dynasty. The Yao clan has always stayed out of worldly affairs, but things are different now. Since everyone wants to kill me, I can't just sit back and wait. I need to expand my power. I don't want to spend every day hiding in the Yao clan and not daring to go out."
Huangfu Qingyun saw greed and aggression in Feng Lingxi's eyes, this was not the Xi'er he knew.
Feng Lingxi seeing him not sound angry, explained, “I can’t let Wan'er follow in my footsteps. Being the Sacred Lord of the Yao clan isn’t easy, and being the patriarch is even harder. Since I can’t change fate’s arrangements, then I have to clear obstacles for her. At least, I won’t let her end up like me, with everyone wanting to kill her.”
"Do you want to mold yourself into a figure like the master of Ti Xiang Lou"
"One must try it to know."
Feng Lingxi looked at Huangpu Qingyun, her eyes firm, "For Wan'er, nothing is impossible."
Although she didn't have top-notch martial arts skills, she possessed exceptional medical and poison techniques. By leveraging her strengths to achieve what she desired, she didn't find anything particularly remarkable about it.
"You're being too reckless."
Huangpu Qingyun looked at the determination in her eyes, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if something unexpected happened on this trip What about Wan'er You are not alone now, you still have Wan'er." And him, although he couldn't be with her, he hoped she could live safely.
As long as she could live in peace, he was content.
Feng Ling Xi heard Wan'er, and the resolute look in her eyes wavered.
She thought about it, and there was a trace of fear, but fear had to be done anyway. Now she could only rely on herself.
"If I refuse to go to the Great Yuan Dynasty to meet Empress Dowager Cen, even if Sun Cheng and his men follow me, their families would be implicated. You can't expect me to silence them all just to get rid of the gunpowder formula, can you"
Staying with the Yao people, at least they could live peacefully for the rest of their lives.
If they stayed in Linxi County, they would sooner or later be discovered and wouldn't be safe.
This time the destroyed gunpowder, I don't know who leaked it out, it was under development. But if this happens many times, I'm afraid it will really cause chaos in the world.
Huangpu Qingyun looked at the struggle in her eyes, and after a long while he said, "If you insist on going, then I'll go with you. As for Wan'er, leave her to Father and Mother, they will protect Wan'er's safety."
"No, I can manage on my own. Please take good care of Wan'er."
She cannot implicate Huangfu Qingyun and force her to take risks with her.
"We'll talk about it later."
Huangfu Qingyun saw that she was unwilling to let him accompany her, the only thing he could do was to discuss it with Dugu City. It was too dangerous to send Leiy'er back at this time, and Dugu City would not agree.
As Huangpu Qingyun had thought, Dugu Cheng indeed didn't want Feng Lingxi to go to the Great Yuan Dynasty. With Huanyue and Dugu Su getting married, the current situation only required them to watch and wait, allowing Dugu Su to handle matters within the court.
Given how Empress Cen treated him in the past, how could Dugu Su let her have an easy time
Even if the entire territory of the Yuan Dynasty was surrendered to Dugu Su, it would be too late.
"Lord, Young Master Hemlock has arrived."
Xiao Li entered, and Feng Yu Mo trailed behind her. Seeing her long-lost sister, her eyes welled up, and she rushed over to hug Feng Ling Xi. Just as she was about to embrace her, she saw the child in her arms and happily stepped forward.
"Sister, is this my nephew"
Feng Lingxi smiled and nodded, "Her name is Wan'er, she's over four months old."ds for me, and later, let me hold the little one too"Don't even think about it.Xiaoli looked at Yexi with displeasure, "Wan'er is the holy maiden of our Yao clan. She has a noble status. How could you...
