s dancing wasn't very good. I apologize for the poor performance." She said, bowing slightly, her bashful expression making Dugu Cheng smile. He scanned her face with his eyes, "Miss Er is indeed the...The elderly General Feng, upon seeing Du Gu Cheng enter, hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Dugu Cheng walked in and at once saw the old general lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He motioned to the imperial physician behind him, asking him to examine the old general. The imperial physician didn't dare to delay and hurried forward to diagnose the old general.

"General Zhen Guo, the Emperor heard that General Lao was seriously ill and specially ordered this prince to bring the Imperial Physician here to visit him, hoping to cure General Lao's illness. General Feng has made great contributions to the court, and the court will definitely treat him well."

Feng Aotien hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "On behalf of my father and the entire General's Mansion, I thank Your Majesty for your gracious kindness."

"General, you may disregard formalities."

Du Gu Cheng glanced at the old General Feng. He heard their voices but showed no signs of waking up. However, when Ji Er went out just now, she didn't see any sorrow, so she must have seen the old general before. Could it be that he doesn't want to see him

"Your Majesty, the old General has been ill for a long time and his old injuries have flared up again. He needs to recuperate properly."

Dugu Cheng was quite surprised by this answer. Even Feng Aotien found it strange. Could Xi'er have already taken action

But she hasn't been here for very long, has she

"Doctor Zhang, is my father's condition truly alright"

"This…"

The imperial physician glanced at Feng Aotian, then at Dugu City, before turning to Feng Aotian and saying, “General Zhen Guo, could you spare a moment to speak with me”

"Doctor Zhang, please."

Wind Aotian and Zhang, the imperial physician, went out together. Dugu City looked at General Feng on the bed, he still refused to open his eyes to look at him. He wanted to step forward, but he didn't know how to speak. After struggling for a while, he still went out.

"My lord."

Luo Qin'i stepped forward to help Duguo City up. Her demeanor still revealed ease, but over the years, no one had ever seen her stop there. Everyone thought she was the bad woman who broke up the King of Chen and his queen, but who knew, she was just an innocent person too.

"This king is fine."

Dugu Cheng did not avoid Luo Qin'yi's support, but his words had already made Luo Qin'yi withdraw her hand and keep a distance from him as she followed beside him.

"My Lord, the old General's body can't hold on much longer."

Dr. Zhang spoke up, Feng Aotian's face was grim, all the doctors said that his father didn't have much time left, but he still refused to believe it.

"Let Feng Lingxi give it a try. She's back and won't stand by and watch him die. Besides, she's a skilled doctor; there's a chance she can cure the old general." Dugu City looked at Feng Aotien, "This king intends to stay in Mingde Town for a while, and it's a good opportunity to recuperate."

Feng Aotian heard this and instantly understood that Dugu Cheng wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to Xi'er. He had seen Xi'er's attitude today as well, if they were both here, who knows what kind of trouble they would stir up.

"General Feng, my lord just arrived. His body is not able to continue the journey back by carriage and boat, so he can only cause you trouble." Yexi hurriedly explained to General Feng. Feng Aotian wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare.

"I have had the servants clean the guest quarters thoroughly. I hope that Crown Prince won't find them wanting."

This Feng family ancestral home was quite large. Although it was old, it wasn't much smaller than a general's mansion in the capital city.

"Then, I'll take my leave." Dugu City nodded. "Doctor Zhang, you should take good care of the General's health. Stay at the General's Mansion with me for now."

"I obey."

"Tell the steward to clean out the east courtyard so that the Prince of Chen can move in."

Feng Aotian spoke, and the steward hurriedly said, "Master, where will the fourth young lady stay when she comes back"

Feng Aotian's eyes lit up, "When did Xi'er say she was coming back to live here"

"Just now, Miss Four agreed to move in with the old master, along with her retinue of about ten people."

The steward respectfully replied, "Compared to the Crown Prince, he'd rather have the Fourth Miss return. The Fourth Miss is from the General's Mansion after all. Since the Crown Prince has already separated from her, having him stay here wouldn't it cause trouble for the Fourth Miss"

"Arrange to go to Qinyuan."

The Butler looked surprised, "Master, isn't that place forbidden"

"Go ahead and arrange it. She's the fourth young lady of General's Residence, where couldn't she possibly stay"

The steward was overjoyed, only the people in General's Mansion knew that this Qinyuan was a courtyard that the General's Mansion had kept empty. When the old matriarch was still alive, she had said that it should be reserved for the mistress of General's Mansion to live in. Now that the Fourth Miss has moved in, it is clear that she will be the future mistress of General's Mansion.

"This old slave will go now."

The steward hurried away with his servants to attend to it. Dugu City looked at Feng Aotiantian's eyes suppressing joy, and said lightly, "General, if it is inconvenient, this king will not disturb you and go to the inn..."

"How can this be Your Highness's status is noble, how could you possibly live in an inn If this gets out, how can I explain it to the Emperor Please, Crown Prince Chen, deign to stay at the General's Mansion."

Then I'll be off.

Dugu City had been waiting for this very sentence. Living under the same roof, he believed that the chances of him seeing Xi'er would naturally increase, and maybe he could even have a few words with her.

Feng Aotien couldn't laugh now, he just said it casually, but didn't expect that the Crown Prince was really not polite.

Even if it was just a few polite words, he wanted to get something from Xi'er's side. He was really afraid that Xi'er would move out in a huff.

An hour later, Feng Lingxi arrived at the General's Mansion with her children. After getting out of the carriage, the steward came forward with his staff to help. Seeing three lively and adorable children, he was so happy that his eyes almost closed into a line. This was four generations living under one roof, and the old patriarch’s health would surely improve.

"Mother, is this the home of Grandfather"

Wan'er glanced at the General's Mansion. Although it was old and showed signs of age, the steward was very kind, and the servants were all very happy to see them.

Feng Lingxi nodded, taking Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi off the carriage. "Later, you two will come with me to see Grandpa. Remember, don't be too noisy."

"Do as your mother says."

Feng Siqi rushed in, but bumped into Dugu Cheng in the courtyard. She fell to the ground. Dugu Cheng saw the little girl who had fallen, and hurried forward, but saw a figure faster than him rush past to help the little girl up.

"Siqi, how could you be so careless and get hurt"

Feng Siqi shook her head, got up, and looked at Dugu City.

"Mother, it was all my fault. I bumped into him."

Feng Siqi looked at the handsome man in white hair and white clothes before her. She knew this was the Chen Wang they spoke of, her biological father. Just like her sister said, he looked pale and sickly, and there was a very unpleasant woman by his side.

Dugu Cheng's body trembled. Hearing the little girl call Feng Lingxi "Mother", and seeing her features resembling Feng Lingxi's, his emotions surged with excitement.

"Siqi, are you okay"

Tao Su walked in, Feng Siqi suddenly rushed into Tao Su's arms, "Father."

Du Gu Cheng's delighted eyes instantly plummeted into an ice cellar, as if possessed, he stared at the man before him. Just now, Siqi called him "father," could he be Xi'er's husbandseveral strenuous swings, she finally stepped onto a branch. Feng Lingxi grabbed the branch and carefully pressed herself against the cliff wall. Looking down at the bottomless abyss, her head swam,...
