Chapter 325: Seizing Power 80

can't do that."Feng Lingxi coldly interrupted Lu Nian, "Leave. You can shout until you're hoarse, and I will never admit you. Young Master Lu, please leave."Lu Nian opened her mouth, but her throat fe..."Even if the Empress Dowager herself came, Mother would protect me. You can rest assured."

Feng Ling Xi knew that Dugu Cheng was very worried about her safety. Taking her on a dangerous expedition would put her at risk, and leaving her here also posed danger.

Yao Feifei's matter is something she absolutely has to handle. Only by catching her can the Yao tribe find peace.

Now that Yao Feifei has fled, Garlok faces war. Yao Feifei will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack her.

Dugu Cheng responded, and the atmosphere fell silent. No one spoke again. Occasionally, Feng Lingxi raised her head and met Dugu Cheng's gaze. She quickly averted her eyes, "What are you looking at me for"

Could it be that you're still doubting if she has recovered her memory

"Xier, I'm going on a campaign. You have to take good care of yourself alone and don't worry me. If your memory can't recover, don't force it. Just let things go with the flow. As long as you are well, whether your memory recovers or not doesn't matter."

"Who says it doesn't matter If I don't recover my memory, how would I know how much I bullied you before"

Du Gucheng's lips twitched slightly, "Do you care about this"

Of course I care, how would I know if you're lying to me.

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, "What if you used to take advantage of me and then lied to me saying I was taking advantage of you Then I wouldn't know, and I would have suffered more losses."

Dugu Cheng raised his hand to the sky and swore, "Xi'er, I swear to heaven, I have never wronged you."

"I don't believe it."

Feng Lingxi smiled mischievously, and suddenly a loud thunderclap echoed outside. Feng Lingxi screamed in fright and burrowed into Duguo City's arms, hugging him tightly, her body trembling. Immediately after, torrential rain poured down, accompanied by lightning and howling wind.

Dugu Cheng felt the fear of the person in his arms, holding her close and softly asked, "Xi'er, are you afraid of thunder"

Feng Lingxi trembled in his arms, and Dugu Cheng asked her, she just nodded, subconsciously hugging him tighter.

Dugu City looked at the raging wind and rain outside. The former Xi'er was fearless, but after losing her memory, she even feared thunder.

"Next time I'm not here, if you're scared of the thunder, find Xiao Li to keep you company. Don't stay alone."

Feng Lingxi nodded, her mind was a bit chaotic. Just that bolt of thunder scared her so badly, she felt like her soul was being pulled out, making her feel terrified.

Dugu Cheng held her for a long while. When the thunder subsided, Feng Lingxi pushed him away and looked out the window at the heavy rain. She walked to the window and said, "I'm going to close the windows. The rainwater is coming in."

"I'll go."

Dugu Cheng blocked her, stood up and walked over to close the window, but he saw Huangpu Qingyun running over in the rain with a depressed face.

"Huangfu Qingyun."

What is he doing here at this time

Has he arrived

Feng Ling rushed over, asking in a hurry, "Walk up to Dugu City and look out the window at Huangfu Qingyun who's in the rain. Quickly take the umbrella from the door and give it to him."

"Wait for me here."

Dugu Cheng took an umbrella and rushed into the rain, walking quickly towards Huangfu Qingyun. Just as he walked into the rain, his umbrella was blown away by the wind, soaking his clothes.

"Fine, let him come over himself. Just get back here quickly."

Feng Lingxi cried out anxiously, "This rainfall is truly too heavy."

Huangfu Qingyun came in through the rain, Feng Lingxi hurriedly handed him a towel to wipe himself dry.

"Go change your clothes at mine, I'll be back in a while."

Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly said, "No need. I just received news that Yao Feifei and the prince of Gallo escaped on their way back home. They are probably back to the Xia Dynasty. I specially came to inform Xier and let her be more careful."

"I already know about this. Thank you for coming to tell me in the rain."

Huangfu Qingyun was slightly stunned, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable with Xi'er's way of speaking. It felt very different and distant.

"It was I who forgot, the Lord surely knew this before me."

Huangpu Qingyun wiped her hair and put down the towel, “Then I’ll go back first…”

"Here you go."

Du Gu Cheng shouted, just as the two of them reached the door, Feng Ling Xi said, "With such heavy rain outside, aren't you afraid of getting soaked"

The two stopped their steps, looked at each other, and their expressions were a little awkward.

"You go and bring two sets of clothes for the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince to change into."

Feng Lingxi ordered the maidservants guarding outside to let in Dugu City and Huangfu Qingyun, who were standing at the door dumbfounded. "Come in and sit for a while," she said. "We'll leave once the rain stops."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at Dúlú Chéng, seeing him enter, she also sat beside him. Perhaps because their clothes were wet, both of them looked rather disheveled. Neither spoke, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

"Have a cup of tea."

Thank you!

They both spoke at the same time, each holding a cup of tea and remaining silent. Feng Lingxi watched them, feeling quite uncomfortable. They seemed strange to her, but she couldn't put her finger on what was off.

"What are your thoughts on Yao Feifei"

獨孤城看了皇甫輕雲一眼，“我剛剛說了，你說。”

Translated:Dugu City glanced at Huangfu Qingyun, "I just said, you say."

Huangfu Qingyun awkwardly took a sip of tea, "Since you've already said it, there's nothing more I can say."

Wind Lingxi looked at the two of them with a strange expression, her eyes narrowed slightly. "What's wrong with the two of you Why is the atmosphere so tense as soon as you meet What have you two done behind my back"

"No!"

Both of them spoke in unison. Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, her eyes turning cold. Dugu Cheng shivered, recognizing that familiar look. Xi'er was angry.

Just keep quiet.

Feng Lingxi stood up and glanced at the two of them, "You guys rest here for a while, I'll go for a walk."

Dugu Cheng saw her about to go out and hurriedly stopped her.

"Xier, it's raining outside. If you go out and get wet, what will you do Let's just go out here."

Feng Lingxi turned around, her eyes suddenly turning cold. That familiar look made Dugucheng's heart flutter. If he didn't speak, would Xier get angry again and ignore him

Huangpu Qingyun swallowed nervously. As Dugu Cheng said, the previous Xi'er was indeed not someone anyone could control. Look at her sharp eyes, so different from the simple, clear-eyed Xi'er he remembered.

"So I said, you mustn't be angry."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, his tone changed.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, watching his expression flicker, "Come on, you two, what are you up to"

"I accidentally told the Fourth Prince about restoring your memories."

Huangfu Qingyun lowered his head, looking like a repentant little sheep. Feng Lingxi couldn't stay angry at him. When had that gentle and refined Huangfu Qingyun become so meek

"Xier, you shouldn't blame him for this. He just feels sorry for my deep love for you and can't bear to see me sad, so he told me..."

"How thoughtful, how loving!"

Feng Lingxi was extremely depressed, watching the two of them help each other speak, it really looked like love.

"You two are a pair, my appearance is just an accident."ip. "It might be interesting for you guys, but it's not interesting for us three brothers. You probably don't know, right My mother stopped having children after giving birth to us three brothers, and...
