efy the Emperor"Dugu Xiu furiously pushed Yao Feifei to the ground. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger that made Yao Feifei tremble. Dugu Xiu's expression just now was truly terrifying;..."Xiao Li didn't lose her memory, she's just carrying out her mission, and she won't see you because she's surrounded by people watching her every move, so you don't need to probe."

"You... you know everything."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, she thought she asked this way, Li Wuyan wouldn't notice, it seemed, she still wasn't subtle enough.

"Luo Li asked me to tell you that Xiao Li is not in control of her own destiny right now. You shouldn't take anything she says to heart. Once her mission is complete, she will return safely."

"She's fine."

Feng Lingxi's heart relaxed. Since Luo Li could say this to her, she felt at ease.

It seems Xiaoli isn't having an easy time in the Yao Clan. Being constantly watched must be exhausting, living life on edge every day. I really hope things get resolved soon so Xiaoli can return to her side and live happily ever after.

"I went back."

Li Wuyan stood up, "No need to see me off."

"Come, let me escort you back home. It's getting dark, and I wouldn't feel safe leaving you alone."

"I can go back with Li Wu Yan, or you should rest. You haven't slept well these past two days, you don't have to see me off." Feng Ling Xi hurriedly said, Du Gu Cheng now only needs to take medicine on time, his body recovers quickly, but his hair is unable to come back, it's a pity.

"Be careful on your journey." Dugu City watched them leave the mansion before speaking, "Ye Xi, you investigate everything that happened when the Empress Dowager entered the palace. This king wants to know everything. Also, check the movements of King Yu and the Empress Dowager these years, see if there are any breakthroughs."

After receiving her orders, Ye Xi left. Dugu City didn't go back to rest immediately. Instead, he checked the news from Tianxiang Building to make sure the children were all safe and sound before resting.

Feng Lingxi and Li Wuyan were walking back, although the sky had darkened, the night market in this capital city was still bustling. Since their journey wasn't far, they chatted as they walked.

"Aflame, there are some things I can't say in front of Duke Gucheng, but I want to tell you," Feng Lingxi opened her mouth. Li Wuyan hummed, "Don't you also think the Empress Dowager is fake"

"No, I think the Empress Dowager is telling the truth, her words are false."

She had just seriously thought about it, if the Empress Dowager was fake, then she wouldn't hate her so much. If Dugu City wasn't her biological son, she wouldn't be so resentful, hating that she had harmed Dugu City. She felt that the Empress Dowager was protecting Dugu City.

Although she herself thought the idea was rather far-fetched, it was quite possible.

Perhaps, you're right, and I may not be my mother's son. I might not be Du Gu Feng after all.

"That's right, you are not Dugu Feng, you are Li Wuyan. Now, do you really want to be Dugu Feng"

Li Wuyan shook his head. "Before, I had thought about Dugu Feng's life, the emperor's son, with power, wealth, and a lifetime of glory and riches as a prince. But now, I just want to be Li Wuyan, traveling through the rivers and lakes, living the life I want."

"That's all right, since you want to be Li Wu Yan, then these things have nothing to do with you. You just need to do what you should do. After everything is over, live the life you want, that's enough."

Li Wuyan nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi's smile.

"Feng Ling Xi, do you want the Emperor to get better"

Feng Lingxi pondered seriously, nodding.

"Then I'll do my best."

Li Wuyan spoke, his voice carrying a hint of disappointment.

"Aflame, Dugu City is now the regent. If the Emperor's illness doesn't improve and he can't govern, Yu Wang has been demoted back to Liangzhou, and your identity hasn't been confirmed. Of all the sons of the former emperor, only Dugu City remains. I don't want him to ascend the throne. He has more important things to do."

"I understand, it's about Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi nodded, Li Wuyan understood best. She really needed Dugu City by her side. The Yao clan might face any kind of danger over there, and she was truly afraid to face it alone.

"Actually, even if I were Dugu Feng, I wouldn't be interested in this throne."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "I know, before perhaps you would want to, but recently I can see that you are no longer interested. So, Your Majesty cannot have anything happen."

"If one day the Emperor were to pass away, who would then inherit the throne"

Feng Lingxi pointed at Li Wuyan, "Of course it's you. Make Dugu Cheng go back to Xigu Kingdom with me as my husband."

"If I don't want to"

"I don't want it anyway."

Li Wuyan smiled but said nothing, the two of them walked back to Lu's residence.

"Why don't you stay at Lu Mansion tonight If you go back to your own place, it'll just be you alone anyway."

"No need, I still have some matters to attend to. While it's not as luxurious as Lu Manor, I'm used to living there."

Li Wuyan finished speaking and went into the neighboring house. Feng Lingxi returned to Lu's mansion and saw Lu Nian sitting in the courtyard waiting for her, which gave her a fright.

"Where did you go at three in the morning"

"Did the steward not tell you to go to the Chen Wangfu"

Feng Lingxi walked to Lu Nian's opposite and sat down, looking at the food box in Lu Nian's hand, leaning forward and sniffing it, "Did you buy this for me"

I've been waiting for you for more than an hour. You didn't even say a word before going out.

"You're not here again, and besides, didn't I tell the housekeeper"

Lu Nian opened the lunch box, and inside were all the new products from Yi Pin Xiang bakery. "These are all for you, eat more, you've lost weight recently."

There isn't.

Feng Lingxi lowered her head and glanced at her figure. This was a figure that all women craved, a physique that couldn't gain weight. Could she be blamed

"Parents wrote, saying recently the Yao clan has been visiting the Lu family, wanting to take their heirloom. They've been persistent, trying to sweet-talk and pressure them, but parents refused. However, the Yao clan isn't giving up. Parents relayed a message for you to be extra careful here, especially towards the Yao clan, who have already begun acting."

"It seems they already know the effect of Bai Liuli."

Feng Ling Xi's smile vanished from her face, and she instinctively touched the purple star on her neck. This thing hadn't been sought after by anyone. Did they know it was always with her

"Bai Liuli"

Lu Nian looked puzzled, "Sister, what does the Lu family heirloom have to do with the Yao clan"

"Big brother, if you don't know, just don't ask. Knowing this isn't good."

Wind Ling Xi took off the purple star pendant from her neck, "With it, there's only so much I can say."

Lu Nian's face was full of shock. "The Lu family's heirloom and the Yao clan's treasure are together, isn't that also means the Lu family is part of the Yao clan"

I guess so.

Feng Lingxi carefully put away the purple star, then thought for a moment, "Big Brother, will you accompany me to find Feng Aotian tomorrow I have something to ask him. If I go alone, I'm afraid someone will notice me."

"Okay."

Anyway, he had nothing to do these two days. It was just right to accompany Xi'er for a walk and prevent her from overthinking things.

The next day, Feng Lingxi hadn't even left the house when she saw people from General Feng's mansion come to report. They said Zhao shi had suddenly died last night, and Feng Yu Xi was nowhere to be found. Feng Aotian had been ambushed and severely injured in the head; he was still lying on his sickbed.

< >can I possibly ignore you."Looking into his gentle eyes, Feng Lingxi smiled back, "How are your parents""Very well, just let me take good care of you before you leave. Let me get everything sorted out...
