Chapter 807: Imprisonment 67
th literary talent and military prowess. Today, this palace has opened its eyes to such a capable individual. This gift is greatly appreciated by this palace. Bring it forward for inspection."Thank yo...Feng Lingxi saw that he was not speaking, and she looked at his deep black eyes, staring at his actions of picking up vegetables, as well as his demeanor, and fell into confusion again.
Is he really Dugu City The initial suspicions, now looking at his completely opposite behavior to Dugu City, even eating feels tasteless. I don't know why, everything about him is a contrast.
Dugu Cheng noticed Feng Ling Xi had been looking at him. The dark eyes beneath his mask held a smile. He wondered when Xi'er would discover his identity. A sudden anticipation arose within him for Xi'er's reaction when she finally knew it was him.
"Host, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Dugu Cheng looked at her, his gaze waiting for her question made Feng Lingxi avert her eyes, unwilling to be seen through by his piercing eyes. She spoke in a low voice, "Can the host tell me, is the person who asked you to protect me male or female"
"Male."
That is to say, if it wasn't her mother who asked him to protect her, then who
Is it Dugu City, or Huangfu Qingyun, or someone she doesn't know
Over the meal, Feng Lingxi had no appetite at all. Dugu Cheng watched her distracted appearance and didn't ask much.
"Your Highness."
A knock on the door echoed through the room. Xiao Li glanced inside and saw Dugu Cheng nod. She quickly walked to the side of the princess, "Princess, this servant just received word that Young Master Yu Mo has arrived."
When Feng Yu Mo returned, Feng Ling Xi was overjoyed and sprang to her feet, hurriedly asking, "Where did you get to"
Xiao Li glanced at Du Gu Cheng, "He was taken back to the General's Mansion by the old general."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Lord of the building, I have something else to do first. Thank you for your hospitality today, and we'll see each other again another day."
"Fourth Royal Wife."
Dugu City called out to her, "Lately, be more careful when you go out."
Feng Lingxi smiled at him, said thank you, and then left.
Dugu Cheng's mood soured at her smile. Although Xi'er smiled at him, he was now the master of Tianxiang Tower, and Xi'er didn't know who he was. This smile made Dugu Cheng bitter.
"Host, I've done everything as you instructed."
Chu Xi entered and didn't see the Queen in attendance. Seeing the King's dejected expression, she was full of confusion.
"Return home."
Chu Xi came to her senses and hurried to catch up with the prince's footsteps, "Your Highness, hasn't the Princess realized your identity yet"
"Send more people to continue investigating the identities of those individuals. Make sure they don't hurt Xi'er. If they appear, leave none alive."
Chu Xi responded and came out of Tianxiang Building. Then, she parted ways with Dugu Cheng.
The drizzle fell softly from the sky. Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li sat in a carriage, making their way to the General's Mansion. As soon as the guards at the entrance of the mansion saw Feng Lingxi, they rushed forward with an umbrella, "Greetings, Fourth Princess."
"Has Yǔmò returned home"
Since Feng Cangkai returned to the General's Mansion, Feng Lingxi's status as the legitimate daughter had changed. Every time she came back, the attitude of the General's Mansion towards her was different. This was all thanks to Feng Cangkai.
"Upon returning to Sifang Mansion, Young Master Yumo and the old General were in the front hall."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly walked towards the front hall. Xiao Li chased after the princess's footsteps with an umbrella. As soon as the two arrived at the front hall, they heard Feng Cangkai's cheerful low voice and Feng Yumo's voice.
"Yu Mo!"
Feng Lingxi shouted loudly and quickly walked toward the young man sitting in the hall. Feng Yumuo saw Feng Lingxi and happily stood up, rushing forward to hug her, "Sister, I'm back."
Feng Lingxi patted his back, let him go, and pulled Feng Yu Mo over to look. Seeing that he was unharmed and standing safely before her, her eyes welled up with tears.
Feng Yu Mo saw her tears, his expression tensed. He reached out and hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Sister, why are you crying"
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yumo, tears falling even more fiercely. She glared at him and patted his chest angrily, "You little rascal, you haven't written to your elder sister in so long, don't you know how much she misses you."
Feng Yu Mo hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, sister. It's all my fault. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time."
He wasn't unwilling to write to his sister, but these past few months, he had been fighting alongside his brother-in-law on the battlefield. He dared not write to his sister for fear that she would worry if she knew about their situation.
"Girl, there's no time to write letters during wartime. You scold him just because he's back."
Feng Cangkai feigned anger, Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yumo, and glanced around, "Where's your brother-in-law Is he this fast"
"My brother-in-law is estimated to arrive tomorrow. I miss my sister so much, so I came back as fast as I could."
Feng Yu Mo took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Feng Ling Xi, "This is what my brother-in-law asked me to give to my sister, saying that she should check the whereabouts of this person."
Wind Ling Xi looked at the contents of the letter, her brows furrowed slightly. Feng Cang Kai glanced at it, looking puzzled. "Xi'er, didn't you go to see King Su with Tai Fei Shu months ago"
Feng Lingxi took the letter, her eyes darkened slightly. Dugu Cheng had asked her to investigate Dugu Su. Could it be that Dugu Su had lied to her
"Grandpa, how much do you know about King Su"
Feng Cangkai was about to speak, but when he saw Zhao Shi enter with fruits, "Fourth Princess..."
"Who let you in, get out."
Feng Cangkai roared angrily, Zhao shi was so frightened that the fruit tray in her hand fell to the ground, scattering fruits everywhere. Zhao shi hurriedly apologized and retreated shamefully.
Feng Lingxi watched Zhao Shi's actions, her eyes narrowed slightly. She had come to the General's Mansion many times before, and Zhao Shi had never come to bring them fruit cakes. Yet, this time, she came after Yu Mo returned and happened to mention King Su.
Could it be that Zhao and the King of Su know each other
"Xier, what are you thinking about"
Feng Cangkai watched Zhao Shi retreat, his eyes filled with displeasure. "If it weren't for the fact that she is Feng Yu Xi's mother, I would have kicked her out of the General's Mansion long ago."
"Grandpa, does she usually bring you fruit Or when guests come, does she bring food in"
Feng Cangkai heard Feng Lingxi say this, immediately understanding, "Xi'er suspects her..."
"Grandpa, keep it down."
Feng Ling beckoned to Xiaoli, instructing her in a low voice. Seeing Xiaoli respond and leave, he turned to Feng Yumò and said, “Since Grandpa is back at the General’s Mansion, you will live here from now on. You have made great achievements this time, the Emperor will surely reward you.”
Feng Yu Mo responded, “We’ll all follow big sister’s orders.”
"Grandpa, how well do you know King Su Can you tell me about his past"
Dugu Cheng let her go check on King Su, he must have a problem. If King Su's past and what she knew had some connection, then she had to reexamine him thoroughly, lest she be sold and still help count the money.
Feng Cangkai nodded, and Feng Wuling told him what he knew about Dugu Su's past. It was basically the same as what Shu Taifei had said. If there was any difference, it was that the previous emperor had left him a secret edict. No one knew the contents of this edict.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Feng Lingxi came back to the Su Wangfu again. This time, she only brought Xiao Li with her. Looking at the still desolate Su Wangfu, Feng Lingxi's mood was different this time.ake any action.Dugu Cheng held Feng Lingxi's hand, his eyes firm. "The other party is just sending a warning.""I know, relax."With the opponent's skill, if they truly wanted to kill her, she wouldn't...
