ng cold and ruthless.The Old Madam, upon hearing Zhao Ma Ma's words, angrily rebuked her, "Zhao Ma Ma, you truly disappoint this concubine. How could you do such a thing for your own selfish gain This...Dugu Cheng didn't seem very surprised to hear this. Feng Lingxi suddenly asked, "Didn't you already know"

"Hmm."

Dugu City's answer left Feng Ling Xi speechless. The question she had on the tip of her tongue was swallowed back down. After all, cooperating with him wasn't entirely impossible.

This person, Feng Yu Xi, what kind of person is she I'm afraid she's never truly understood herself.

"I only recently found out, I've been looking into her all along."

Dugu Cheng was silent for a moment, then said, "When investigating Dugu Su, I found that she was connected to her. Later, I also found out about her previous relationship with Dugu Xiu. You know about this Dugu Yu."

Feng Lingxi has nothing to say now.

"Looks like I'm the last to know."

After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, several times wanting to speak but stopping.

After a long silence, Feng Lingxi stood up. "I'll go back first."

"Xier."

Dugu City hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute."

Feng Lingxi turned around, she couldn't remember how long it had been since Dugu Cheng called her "Xi'er". This single call sent ripples through Feng Lingxi's heart. She stared at Dugu Cheng for a long moment before managing a smile.

"What's up"

"I..."

獨孤城看著她看著自己眼神，獨孤城不知道從何說起，他們現在變得好生疏，兮兒不怪他，他的心裡就越不是滋味。 Looking into her eyes, Dugu Cheng felt lost for words. They had grown so distant, and it pained him that she wasn't blaming him. The fact that she wasn't made his heart ache even more.

Though she knew he was feigning amnesia to deceive her, Xi'er didn't scold or blame him. This made his heart race with anxiety.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I have something to attend to."

"I'll go with you."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly said, Feng Lingxi, however, refused. “No need, I can handle it myself, and besides, you can’t expose your identity right now.”

Looking at Feng Ling Xi's departing figure, Dugu Cheng's eyes were filled with pain. Why did he have to make their relationship like this

"My lord, the princess doesn't blame you. She just doesn't want to implicate you. Xiao Li told me that since Li Wuyan told the princess about your amnesia protecting her, she hasn't been like before. This must be so she doesn't expose you."

Dugu City raised his eyes and let out a light sigh.

"This king only wants to speak with Xi'er. As you can see, there seems to be a river between us, impossible to cross. We can only gaze at each other from afar. This leaves my heart heavy."

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi, "Today, the Emperor knew that this king was going to see the Empress Dowager and thought that this king was going to give the Empress Dowager an antidote. He warned this king that if he gave the Empress Dowager an antidote, it would be detrimental to his mother concubine, so his mother concubine had to leave the palace as soon as possible."

"My lord, wasn't the Empress Dowager supposed to send Lady Shu out"

Dugu Cheng frowned, "The Empress Dowager has agreed, but I'm afraid the Emperor will interfere. This King wants to wait until Mother leaves the palace and then escort her to Linxi County. At that time, you will personally escort Mother to Linxi County and settle her down."

"That Lord..."

"Afterward, this king returned with Xi'er. This trip was fraught with danger, so we must travel separately."

After Empress Dowager left, the court would surely be in chaos. Dugu Xiu was now staring at him. Once the Empress Dowager recovered even slightly, he would be the first to be dealt with. Adding to this, Dugu Su's current power meant that if Dugu Xiu made even a slight mistake, Dugu Su would ascend the throne. He could only hope to extricate himself from this situation at this point.

Regardless of how they twist and turn, he only needs to take his mother and Xi'er away. As for this throne, he no longer wants to participate.

With the Empress Dowager's death, my father's great revenge has finally been fulfilled. He will no longer seek me out.

"The King and Queen had agreed. Once the subordinate received word from Imperial Consort Shu, they would immediately escort her away with their guards."

Du Gu Cheng nodded, but as soon as he thought of Xi'er’s hesitant expression today, she seemed to have something she hadn’t told him. The atmosphere was awkward just now, and he didn’t ask further. Now that he thinks about it, how could Empress Cen simply tell Xi'er these things.

As night fell, the autumn wind blew gently, carrying a hint of coolness that came with the arrival of fall.

Dugu Cheng crept into the Yao Clan's main residence and hovered outside Feng Lingxi's room for a long time, but didn't go in.

Xiaoli and Yingba learned it was Dugu City, guarding the entrance and not letting him in.

"Your Majesty, the Wangye is wandering outside the door, would you like to see him"

After learning about the fake amnesia of the Prince, Xiaoli's address to him changed back.

She knew the Princess and the Prince wouldn't just split up like that, and besides, the Princess sounded more comfortable than the Holy Lord.

Feng Lingxi glanced outside the door, “You let him in.”

When did Dugu Cheng become so afraid to see her Was it because she knew about his feigned amnesia

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess requests your presence," Xiaoli smiled and stepped forward. Dugu Cheng glanced at the room, "Xiaoli, how is Xier's mood today"

"The Queen has always been in good spirits, Your Highness. Actually, the Queen hasn't blamed you."

When Dugu Cheng heard Xiao Li say this, he thought to himself that it was possible. But when he scolded Xi'er before, he was so harsh, didn't Xi'er care at all

If it were him, he would probably be uncomfortable too.

"Your Highness, please."

Du Gucheng walked into the room, Xiaoli knowingly closed the door behind him. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, there were certainly many things to say.

Windling saw him coming, but didn't react much. She poured a cup of tea that she had already brewed at the table and placed it before him. After taking his seat, Dugu City looked slightly nervous.

"Xi'er, I..."

Alone City was filled with an unprecedented tension. Seeing Xi'er's calm demeanor, his heart pounded even more wildly in fear.

"Xier, if you want to scold, just scold. Don't hold it in. Seeing you like this makes me feel uncomfortable."

"What are you scolding me for"

Feng Lingxi poured him a glass of water, "Let's not dwell on the past. You're here because you want to know what else the Empress Dowager said to me besides what I told you, right"

獨孤城驚訝地抬頭，點點頭。

"Today she wouldn't just tell you these things, would she Did she ask you for something"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "She asked me to detoxify her before she told me what she said this afternoon."

"Did you agree"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Not yet. She said she wasn't in a hurry for my reply, so I left the palace."

"What do you think about this Agreeing to this is like letting a tiger back into the mountains. If you refuse, she might try to destroy everything and expose your whereabouts, which would be harmful to you."

Feng Lingxi listened to his analysis and nodded in agreement.

“I think the same way, so I haven't figured it out yet. She can't hold on for much longer now. The poison, either Dugu Xiu or Dugu Su could be responsible, but I'm not sure which one of them it is.”

Although Dugu Xiu had great disagreement with the Empress Dowager's opinions, he wouldn't go as far as murdering his mother. Dugu Su was much more likely.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City shared the same suspicions. She doubted Dugu Su, as well as the disguised Feng Yu Xi mentioned by Empress Cen, and even Feng Lingyu, the ungrateful person she had saved. Who among them, hidden right under her nose, could be the true culprit

Since the Empress Dowager has given you time for this matter, put it aside for two days. A few days ago, Dugu Su and Huanyue wanted to see me, saying that they wanted to check me over. After I fainted that day, they were very eager to help me recover my memory.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!g, besides your parents, who else is afraid of you""You..."Princess Qingfeng was furious, her face ashen. She crossed her arms and glared at Feng Lingxi, "I'm asking you,""Princess Qingfeng is a princ...
