is up and go to the imperial dining room to bring Princess a bowl of bird's nest."The Empress Dowager ordered, “Bring some pastries here.”Feng Lingxi saw that all the palace maids and eunuchs had left...Feng Lingxi was truly taken aback by Duguyu's arrival in the capital. After all, everyone knew of Duguyu's rebellious intentions. What could Empress Cen and Duguxiu possibly want by summoning him Feng Lingxi had no clue whatsoever.

"Xiaoli, have you heard any news about Dugu City"

Feng Lingxi glanced at the darkening sky outside and felt a bit worried, "He's been in the palace for a day now, I wonder how he's doing."

“The chief and Dr. Li have been out for half a day, but there is still no news.”

Wind Ling furrowed her brow, "Won't anything happen"

Let's go see Su Wangfei, Luoli and Li Wuyan are both skilled martial artists, there shouldn't be a problem.

"I'm going to visit Duke Su's residence." Feng Lingxi couldn't wait any longer, she just walked to the door and saw Luoli and Li Wu-Yan returning from outside. Seeing her anxious to go out, she frowned and asked, "Where are you going"

"You're back at last, are you alright"

Feng Lingxi stepped forward and took a look at the two of them from head to toe. Seeing that they were unharmed, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"We're fine. We came out of the Su Mansion, and I wanted to buy some medicinal herbs, so I let him accompany me. We got back late."

"I see."

Hearing Li Wu-yan's explanation, Feng Ling-xi let out a breath of relief. "It's fine then."

"Has he not come back yet"

Luo Li glanced around, but didn't see Dugu City. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"No, I don't know if they were stopped inside the palace."

"Don't wander around here, I'm going out to gather some information."

After giving his final instructions, Luo Li hurried out, his expression more serious than ever before.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Li Wuyan soothed, "Let's go inside and sit."

Wind Ling glanced nervously outside before instructing Xiao Li, "Tell Ying Ba and the others to keep investigating and see what's going on."

Li Wuyan and Feng Ling walked into the room. Seeing the worry lines on her face, Li Wuyan put down the pastries he had bought earlier. "I got you some osmanthus cakes from the street just now."

Feng Lingxi said thanks, though she didn't actually like osmanthus cake. It seemed that everyone in this world particularly loved it. Eating it repeatedly, she had gotten used to it.

"There's something I want to ask you."

Li Wuyan opened his mouth, putting down the osmanthus cake at his lips, "What's the matter"

"Dugu Feng, also known as the Fifth Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty, have you ever seen what he looks like"

Wind Ling Xi was asked by Li Wu Yan, she really had never seen this Fifth Prince, nor did she know what he looked like. Even things related to him were particularly scarce.

"No."

Li Wuyan was silent, his expression full of confusion. Feng Lingxi asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask about Dugu Feng"

"It just suddenly came to mind, I wonder."

Feng Lingxi let out a soft "oh," finding Li Wu'yan's behavior rather odd. Why would he ask Du Gu Feng Curiosity piqued, she couldn't help but wonder why Li Wu'yan was so interested in Du Gu Feng.

"All the princes of this Yuan dynasty are not simple characters. You think you married Dugu Cheng, this god of war king, but you don't know that his second brother, Dugu Su, was also a god of war level figure back then."

Feng Ling laughed heartily.

"A Flame, what's wrong with you today Why are you suddenly saying these things to me"

"That's all I can say."

Feng Lingxi retracted the smile from the corner of her lips, "Indeed, they each have their own merits. This Dugu Yan, although she is the Empress Dowager's daughter and controlled by her, both good and bad are intertwined. Speaking frankly, she is bad, but she is also a pitiful person."

A puppet living for power, nothing more. Worst of all, the one pulling his strings is still his own mother.

And what about this Dugu Su

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes flashing with a hint of unnoticeable ferocity.

“Duke Su said this himself, he was a genius, achieving great things at a young age. However, he was too arrogant, completely ignoring the saying ‘ambition can lead to ruin’. Coupled with his mother’s low status, he was schemed against by Empress Cen and poisoned for over ten years, ending up in his current situation. You think he wouldn't be filled with resentment That would be a lie. We can guess what he’s planning, but the true details are only known to him.”

Just like how Dugu Su is acting now, her actions are fierce and imposing, like a waking lion. As for what she wants to do First, it's naturally revenge, and beyond that, it's not something to delve too deeply into.

"The analysis is spot on, what about Dugu Yu"

Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan, her eyes full of confusion.

"Ayame, what's wrong with you today Why are you keep asking me about them"

I just want to know what they're like in your eyes.

Wind Lingxi was truly close to Li Wu'yan as friends. Since he asked, Wind Lingxi wouldn't hide his opinion of them.

"Du Gu Yu is impulsive, he doesn't have the excellent mother of Du Gu Yan nor the courage of Du Gu Su. From my contact with him, I can only say that he is average, of course, this is just what I see."

"What about Dugu City" Li Wuyan nodded.

"Silly."

Feng Lingxi smiled suddenly when she mentioned Dugu City, "In my eyes, he's just a simpleton."

Li Wuyan frowned, "Fifth Prince, you don't know, then there's only Dugu Xiu left."

"Tyrant."

Feng Ling Xi retracted her smile, her expression becoming serious.

“In fact, Dugu Xiu didn't need to make himself like this. Empress Cen was his biological mother. No one would compete with him for the throne. He only needed to do his best and handle the matters entrusted to him by Empress Cen seriously. He wouldn't have ended up like this.”

"It seems you have more sympathy for those brothers."

Feng Lingxi didn't hide it, nodded and looked at Li Wuyan's furrowed brows, "Speaking of them, you seem quite interested today."

"I just suddenly felt curious and wanted to ask you, all these years since you married Dugu City, haven't you been dealing with them"

"So, all these years I haven't learned anything else, just seeing things clearly."

But you probably haven't seen through what kind of person Dugu City really is.

Li Wuyan softly spoke, looking at Feng Lingxi with eyes full of pity, "Do you regret marrying him"

"No regrets."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of determination, she didn't know why Li Wuyan would suddenly say these things, but she really didn't regret marrying Dugu City.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to get involved with Dugu City at first, there wouldn't be all this today. After she decided to be with Dugu City, she knew she wouldn't regret it.

"I just think you're pretty dumb."

Li Wuyan got up and said, “I’m a little tired. I’m going back to rest.”

Feng Lingxi watched Li Wuyan's leaving figure, always feeling that he was very strange today. Asking her those questions was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. All she could hope for was that Aiyan was alright.

"Your Majesty, the King is back."

Xiao Li came to report, "Just out of the palace, however, the Empress Dowager sent him out of the city to do something. The Wang Ye asked the maidservant to tell the Madam that he was fine, and she should rest assured and not wait for him. He would be back tomorrow morning."

Where is the chiefow I feel completely drained." He was still fuming."What did she ask you to do Isn't it for you to enter the palace and detoxify Dugu Yan"Dugu Cheng pretended not to know, windling X shaking his head,...
