staring at her until the middle of the night, Dugu City suddenly had an idea. Anyway, she was sleeping so soundly, he should be able to sleep on top of her without her noticing, rightThus, Dugu Cheng...By the way, I'm going back to General's Mansion tomorrow. Would the Chieftain like to go with me

Wind Ling Xi's words left Dugu Cheng perplexed, wondering why Xi Er had brought along Luo Li.

"This General's Mansion is your family home, and also the home of the revered Saint Master. Go take a look, it wouldn't hurt to."

Luo Li analyzed the way, "Since you are so warmly inviting, then go together."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at Li Wuyan beside her, "Will you go too"

Li Wuyan nodded, but didn't speak.

"For dinner, I'll introduce you to my mother. We can have a meal together. While you're in the capital, you'll stay at the Fourth Prince's Mansion. If there's anything you need, just let me know. Once I finish these two days of work, I'll accompany you to find the apothecary."

"Then I shall humbly obey."

Luo Li glanced at Du Gu Cheng and agreed.

Feng Lingxi exchanged a few pleasantries with them before leaving with Dugu City.

"Xier, why did you take Luoli away from the General's Mansion The Empress and Feng Linglong will be there tomorrow, and it's likely to cause a commotion. Bringing them along is probably not a good idea."

"I asked Luo Li to go to the General's Mansion to help me with something. You'll know later, it wouldn't be convenient for me to go myself."

Feng Lingxi winked playfully at Dugu City, pulling his hand toward the garden. "Let's sit over there," she said, "I want to tell you what the Empress told me today."

"The Empress Dowager hasn't given you any trouble, has she"

Feng Lingxi smiled, "She wouldn't make things difficult for me now, it's you. What did Dugu Yan say to you"

"Matters in the capital will keep me busy for a while."

Dugu Cheng clutched her hands in his, looking at her face the size of a palm with eyes full of distress.

"Xier, this time we'll be staying in the capital for a while. This king doesn't know what will happen, but rest assured, I will be by your side."

Feng Lingxi nodded and gave him a slight smile.

As long as you're by my side, it doesn't matter where we are. Just be careful and don't worry me.

Today's Feng Yu Xi's actions are so big, inside and outside the court, there must be many people from Feng Yu Xi. What she doesn't understand most is the person behind Feng Yu Xi. She doesn't know what that person's identity is or why he would join forces with Feng Yu Xi.

"I know, right Xi'er, do you know the identity of this Lan Fei"

"The Princess of Pingbei Wang, she mentioned you today when she was in Zhaoyang Palace. She asked about you."

Feng Ling Xi's words made Du Gu Cheng nervous. He quickly explained, "Xi'er, this king and Lan Fei really didn't have anything in the past. Please don't misunderstand."

"Really not" Feng Lingxi feigned a stern expression and questioned, watching Dugu Cheng nervously shake his head. She burst into laughter, "Look at you, so nervous. Lan Fei explained it already, she said Pingbei Wang is considered your mentor, he feels towards you like an older brother."

"That's good, this king was still worried that Xi'er would be unhappy because of it."

Dugu Cheng saw Xi'er smile, then he began to slowly recall and tell the story.

"King Pingbei wouldn't willingly let his beloved daughter enter the palace as a concubine."

"You mean, Prince Pingbei wants to make Lanfei the empress"

Seeing that Dugu Cheng remained silent, Feng Lingxi thought about the confrontation between Lan Fei and the Empress earlier today, "So, what do you think Would it be good or bad for Lan Fei to become empress"

"There's no right or wrong here. The current court, with Feng Yu Xi’s power, is not to be underestimated. Otherwise, Dugu Yan would have long since deposed her position. How could she be coerced by Feng Yu Xi and bestowed the title of General Zhen Guo upon Feng Ao Tian"

Speaking of this, Dugu City's expression became serious. Feng Yu Xi's attitude today was strange to her. This Lan Fei's threat seemed to be something she didn't feel at all. Instead, it was Empress Cen who could make her wary.

Today, the Empress Dowager asked me to find a way to get rid of Fengyu Xi. Now that I think about it, perhaps we can use Fengyu Xi's hand to deal with the Empress Dowager...

Feng Ling Xi made a gesture of slitting her neck, the ruthlessness in her eyes caused Du Gu Cheng's brows to furrow, "This way, the risk is very high."

"What does Dugu Yan mean"

She didn't believe Dugu Yan could tolerate Empress Cen's control over him. No one would want to be this puppet of an emperor.

He also had the intention of getting rid of her, but he couldn't. The current situation in the court was like this, and most civil and military officials had become subordinates of Feng Yu Xi. With the help of Dugu Yu and Dugu Xiu, Dugu Yan's situation was also not optimistic.

Regarding Dugu Yu, Ling Xi expressed her puzzlement: "Has Dugu Yu been acting differently these past few months in the capital"

"Still holding their position, they are secretly recruiting soldiers and buying horses. Their power in Liangzhou is also widespread. Now, with the wind, rain, and Xi Lian's cooperation, plus Dugu Xiu's help, they control the court."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "Today is to talk about this matter. Dugu Xiu's escape, the Emperor was also very surprised, and asked me to find him."

"Should we eliminate Dugu Xiu"

Feng Lingxi asked very straightforwardly, but Dugu Cheng shook his head. "Dugu Xiu is after all the emperor's own brother, born to the Empress Dowager. I think the Empress Dowager wouldn't agree, and moreover, if Dugu Xiu really died, Dugu Yu's threat to the court would be even greater."

"This Dugu Yu's ambition is clear for all to see. You say, why doesn't Dugu Yan take this opportunity to eliminate him"

Feng Lingxi didn't quite understand. For Dugu Yan, getting rid of Dugu Yu shouldn't be difficult.

"It's not that I don't want to get rid of him, but I don't want him to do it himself."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "He wants this matter to be handled by this king, including Dugu Xiu's. He hopes that everything will be resolved by this king."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, sneering, "He's quite the schemer, isn't he Wanting you to get your hands dirty and eliminate these obstacles for him. In the end, you'll be branded as a cruel sibling, while he becomes an emperor for all ages."

獨孤城沉默了半晌才說：“否則的話，本王便冇有任何利用價值了，五十萬大軍的力量，不管是獨孤雁還是風雨夕他們，哪個不是虎視眈眈地盯著。”他的軟肋就是母親和兮兒，交出兵權任由宰割，不交出兵權，謀反罪名隨時都要扣在他頭上。

獨孤雁 now behaves this way towards him because, firstly, it's due to Xi’er's identity. Secondly, the matter of Dugu Yu and Dugu Xiu still needs his attention. Otherwise, he could be sitting here chatting with Xi'er.

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow. "So what's your plan To help him"

“Right now, we have to help Dugu Yan. Xier, you know, only this way can we completely get rid of them.”

Feng Lingxi responded, her eyes darkening. She thought to herself, "Since ancient times, emperors have been the most ruthless. What if one day Dugu Cheng became emperor Would he also scheme against those around him At that time, would she still be able to get along with him like she does now"

Dugu City looked at her forlorn eyes and softly asked, "Xier, what's wrong with you"

Feng Lingxi returned a smile and shook her head. "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that this royal infighting is so dark."

"My birth is unchangeable, but my life is something I can choose." the Royal Prince."Windling glanced at her, saying softly, “In this situation, the more favorable Du Gucheng is to me, the tighter those people will watch. If I also act affectionately with him, what...
