d to prepare the antidote.Feng Lingxi is really ruthless, sleeping with him and wanting to kill him. Those blind fools actually said Feng Lingxi was a foolish idiot. She thinks they are the idiots! Wi...The weariness of the body, the cold bed, and Fengling's heart felt empty. She changed her clothes, made up the bed, and Xiaoli came in carrying the foot bath water.

"Your Highness, have a foot soak before bed."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Xiaoli's weary face, "You should go rest too, there's no need to wait on me."

"Your Highness, I am not tired."

The Princess has been having trouble sleeping these days because of the little princess. How could she bear to let her spend a long night alone

"Your Majesty, the meal is ready."

Xiaoli walked to the door and brought up the food that the maids had prepared. Feng Lingxi got up and sat down at the table, "Let's eat together."

"Your Highness, I can speak up for the little princess when I have time."

Xiao Li knew that the princess was very bothered by this matter, the little princess didn't know why she was like this, just refused to acknowledge the princess as her mother.

Let her do what she wants, ignore it.

"Does the princess really not mind"

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes and said seriously, "Does it matter if you mind"

Xiaoli put down her chopsticks, "Your Highness, Prince Huofeng is going back to the Huangxia Dynasty. This servant heard he's going back to get married."

"Marriage To whom"

She had never heard that Huanghpu Qingyun had a partner, how could he suddenly bring up the marriage.

"She seems to be the daughter of the prime minister from the period of Emperor Huizong, I heard the cook saying that when I went out just now."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "It's also time to get married."

But Prince Huangfu didn't like her. It would be so difficult for him to marry a woman he didn't love.

Xiao Li muttered, "Didn't the princess try to persuade him"

Feng Lingxi remained silent. Regarding Emperor Guangxu's marriage, she knew better than to interfere. She understood his feelings, but if she tried to dissuade him, the emperor and empress of the Xia Dynasty might hate her for it.

Huanghpu Qingyun and he could not have a relationship, yet they still prevented him from marrying.

Feng Lingxi was eating, but it had already become tasteless.

"Xier."

Dugong City knocked on the door, Xiao Li hurriedly got up, walked to the door, bowed, and went out.

Upon seeing Du Gucheng approaching her, Feng Lingxi was truly surprised.

"How did you get here, wasn't Wan'er clinging to you"

"She was playing in the room with her mother, I came to see you."

Dugu City walked to her side and sat down, looking at her tired face, "These days I haven't had time to accompany you, I..."

"Wan'er clings to you, you needn't apologize to me."

When it comes to Wan'er, Dugu City's face is full of helplessness, "Wan'er doesn't know why this would happen either."

Maybe it's blaming me.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, “Let her go, she will grow up eventually, and she will understand later.”

Dugu City heard Xi'er's words, feeling only heartache.

She carried Wan'er for ten months, did so much for her, but in the end, this child didn't know how to be grateful and even blamed her. What's most important is that Wan'er hasn't even turned one year old. You say she doesn't understand, yet she does. She understands when you speak to her, but she ignores you.

He had a headache and didn't know what to do.

"Actually, I could tell that girl likes you. Today when you left, you didn't look at her, but she kept staring at you for a while."

Feng Lingxi nodded and then changed the subject, "I heard that Huangfu Qingyun is getting married. His bride is the daughter of the prime minister of the Aohua dynasty. Is that true"

"Who told you"

Dugu Cheng was astonished. This matter was only mentioned today, how could it have spread

"Xiaoli heard what the kitchen lady said."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You persuade him, let him not marry rashly. A person's life, if he marries a woman he doesn't love, how will he live the rest of his life"

“I told him the same thing today, but he wouldn't let me tell you, afraid that knowing would make you feel guilty.”

"What is guilt"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I and he were destined to have no results. If I hadn't gotten married, perhaps there would still be a chance. Since I got married, he should know that I and he are impossible. But even so, I still hope he can find a woman worthy of his devotion."

Huangpu Qingyun had given so much for her. As a friend, as a younger sister, she wanted him to be happy.

Dugu Cheng replied, "I'll tell him what you said. He's leaving in a few days. If you have time, chat with him before he goes."

"I've been a bit busy these days, could you hold onto him for me for a few days Three days would be enough."

"Xi'er, what are you busy with Is there anything I can help with"

Dugu Cheng asked, these days, Xi'er said that she was busy with Yaozu affairs, and he didn't want to interfere. Besides, Wan'er was clinging to him, so he couldn't get away.

"Get gunpowder."

Feng Lingxi lowered her voice and said, “Do you remember the explosives cave in the deep mountains that I investigated before Recently, my people found a large amount of saltpeter near Linxi County. These days, I've been leading Sun Cheng and the others to check the areas where there is saltpeter, marking the locations and determining the amount for statistical purposes.”

"Xier, are you looking at these gunpowder for the purpose of making explosives"

Of course not, I just need to know where the nearby saltpeter is located. That way, if there's any mining activity around here, I'll know about it right away and reduce the number of peeping toms.

If you decide to do a good job of protection, you have to start with the materials.

Dugu City nodded, "That's a good way. Just speak up if there's anything you need me to do."

Although you have reached Linxi County now, you still need to find out the situation in the capital. At least we need to know their situation, especially that of Dugu Su and Dugu Yu, to ensure your and the soldiers' safety.

"I know, I've always been doing it."

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, "It's getting late, you should rest early. I have to go back and accompany Wan'er. I promised her to come out for a while, and I still have to bring her food later."

Feng Lingxi responded and closed the door before going to sleep.

For her, no matter what, she wouldn't look for her as a mother. She might as well focus all her energy on her career.

The next morning, Feng Lingxi had just gotten up when she saw Dugu Cheng holding Wan'er at the door. Seeing the dark circles under their father and daughter's eyes, Feng Lingxi frowned, "What's wrong"

"Xi'er, she said she wants to sleep in this room."

Wan'er looked at Feng Lingxi and nodded, "Then you go, I'm going out."

Even without looking at Wan'er, Feng Lingxi resolutely went out. Wan'er bit her lip aggrievedly, but she didn't cry.

"Why bother"

Dugu Cheng stroked Wan'er's head, "Being as stubborn as your mother, don't you even look at who you're born from Can you be more stubborn than her"

Wan'er put the quilt back on and fell asleep quickly.

Feng Ling when she returned home at night, saw that Wan'er's belongings had all been moved to her room. She asked Xiao Li to tidy up the other room and slept in another room that night. Wan'er bit her lip and didn't cry or make a fuss. The next day, she had dark circles under her eyes just like Dugu Cheng.

For such three days, Huangfu Qingyun couldn't stand it anymore.

"Xier, what are you doing again It seems Wan'er regrets it and wants to sleep with you."

She thought, “I don’t want to.”

Feng Ling's voice was cold, "Qing Yun, she's still a child. If she truly admitted her mistake, calling me 'mother,' then it would be understandable. But she hasn't said a word."d."Fourth Master, even if Lingyu was wrong, she wouldn't have hurt her face. A woman's face is so important, for Fourth Sister to do this is truly excessive."“Indeed, that’s too much.” Dugu Cheng's ha...
