recounted her tale of leaving the city. Looking at her confident demeanor, Du Gu Cheng was mostly astonished."Xi'er has actually made this King worry for nothing."Alone City let out a soft sigh, his...It has been five years, Xiaoli hasn't given any news, and I don't know how she is doing now

After Luo Li took her away, did she make things difficult for her

"Fourth Miss, I actually just wanted to ask you if you've heard from Xiao Li these past years. How is she doing"

"You don't have her messages"

Feng Lingxi watched the struggle in Ye Xi's eyes, and when he nodded, she frowned.

"Has Luo Li not told you"

"My subordinate is just a guard, of low status. How could the clan leader tell me the whereabouts of Little Li I only learned from my master that Little Li is doing well."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, what on earth did Luoli ask Xiao Li to do

Why hasn't there been any news of Xiaoli for these past five years, not even from Ye Xi

"She's doing well, so don't worry about her. She's from the Yao tribe, and Luo Li is their chief. He told me back then that he would make Xiao Li a princess, and she should be very happy."

Ye Xi's eyes dimmed, "It turns out, you don't have her news either."

Everything remained as it was five years ago, but Xiao Li had already disappeared like the princess for five years. Five years have passed, the princess has reappeared, but Xiao Li is still nowhere to be found. I don't know if we will ever see each other again.

"You're not a young man anymore, you shouldn't be waiting for her any longer."

Ye Xi glanced at Feng Lingxi and bowed to her, "This subordinate takes his leave."

The lost voice, the dejected figure, Feng Lingxi wanted to call out to him, but she held back.

Where on earth is Xiaoli Night Xi hasn't heard from her in five years. It seems Luoli has really hidden Xiaoli well, but I hope he hasn't harmed her.

Word got around quickly that Feng Lingxi was at the General's Mansion tending to the old general with medicine. The people of Mingde Town knew that Miss Feng, granddaughter of the Feng family and former Crown Princess of Chen, had returned, and was even living at the General's Mansion with King Chen.

News traveled fast, and the palace soon learned of it.

When Empress Shutai learned that Feng Lingxi was at General's Mansion, she ordered someone to tell Dugu City to bring the child back with him when he returned. On the other hand, Emperor Yuan Zhao also learned about Feng Lingxi's return and, of course, about the two children.

After Du Gucheng had a son, everything changed.

King Youwang's side is the same. If he didn't have a son, perhaps Dugu City would just be ignored there. As long as he didn't do anything wrong, they could let him go. But now it's different, this child has affected his succession to the throne.

"My lord, just received news that the palace has learned of what happened here. The Emperor and Prince Yu both believe the child brought back by your wife is yours. I fear both your wife and child are in danger."

Yexi handed the letter to the King, the news from Tianxiang Building arrived extremely quickly. Duguxing looked at the contents on it and couldn't help but cough twice, forcing down his discomfort.

"What's the news from your mother's side"

The Empress Dowager wants you to take the child back and handle things here, then return to Beijing immediately.

Duke Gucheng slowly closed his eyes, "She always worried about whether I would have an heir, never considering what I was thinking."

"My Lord, now is not the time for lament. I believe this matter should be told to the Lady Consort. Regardless of her reaction, she needs to know the current situation so that the child won't be harmed."

Ye Xi looked at the king like this, wanting to speak but holding back. Should he tell the king about seeing the queen today

"Ye Xi, do you think she'd believe what I say to her"

獨孤城深深地吸了一口氣，“恐怕就算說了，兮兒也不會相信的。”

"My subordinates believe this situation is dangerous for the County Princess and the other two young ladies. The Madam will surely be worried."

"Like me"

"What" Night Xi didn't recover for a moment.

"Do those children resemble this king"

"He, especially that boy, had an air about him that resembled the prince greatly, just like the prince did when he was young."

Ye Xi, hearing the king inquire proactively, hastily said, "This subordinate dares affirm that child is absolutely the king's."

"So what Not so what"

Dugu Cheng opened his eyes, his gaze filled with worry. "If they weren't my children, perhaps their lives wouldn't be so difficult, nor would they have to get involved in this imperial struggle at such a young age."

Ye Xi understood the meaning of Wang Ye's words and hurriedly said, "Wang Ye, this young master doesn't have the right to choose their own birth. Since it has already happened, I think protecting them well is the most important thing. We can't let the young masters get hurt again and disappoint the Crown Princess."

"Find an opportunity to tell her that she's unwilling to speak with me now."

獨孤城 looked at Ye Xi, "How did she react today when you told her about me"

"My Lord, how did you know that I went to see the Princess today"

Upon seeing the Duke's gaze, Ye Xi nodded. "The Crown Princess forbade her subordinates from mentioning the Duke. If they did, she would explode. Her subordinate didn't dare to speak. They only asked the Crown Princess if she knew Xiao Li's whereabouts."

"This king guesses so too."

Dugu Cheng rose to his feet, "Let's go see General Feng."

Ye Xi hurriedly supported the master, looking at the pale face of the Lord with worry in her eyes, "My lord, you must take care of your body." Ye Xi was worried that if she met the young master and the princess later, one person saying a word, it would really anger the master.

Du Gu Cheng hummed in response, letting Ye Xi support him to General Feng's courtyard. In the courtyard, General Feng drank the medicine Wind Ling Xi had given him and was basking in the sun. Wan'er was playing with Feng Si Yu and Feng Si Qi in the courtyard, their laughter bringing a touch of vitality to the place. Wind Ling Xi sat beside General Feng, giving him a shoulder massage. Both of them had smiles on their faces.

"General Feng, old sir."

Dugu Cheng stepped forward to greet them. He and Ye Xi came together. Feng Lingxi saw them, the smile on her face instantly vanished, as if she hadn't seen them at all, continuing to knead her shoulders.

The old general tried to get up, but Dugu Cheng quickly stepped forward and stopped him.

The old general is unwell, so there's no need for formalities.

Wind Ling whispered to her grandfather's ear, "Grandpa, you talk to him, I'll go over there and have some water."

Feng Laojiang nodded, Feng Lingxi got up and walked towards the children. Tao Su saw her coming over and hurriedly put on his 'husband' role, holding water and walking over to hand it to Feng Lingxi. His gentle eyes made Dugu City feel like a needle pricking his heart.

"Prince Chen, what's the point of trying to reclaim something you've lost Xi'er is living a very happy life now. Please don't disturb her."

Du Gu Cheng's expression stiffened, Ye Xi hurriedly explained, "Old General, it's not like that, actually the Prince..."

"Ye Xi, don't talk too much."

Dugu Cheng interrupted Ye Xi, signaling him to stop. Right now they had just settled in and Xi'er had just arrived. If they caused a commotion, it wouldn't be him who would leave, but Xi'er would have to.

"The old general's lesson was that this king wouldn't interfere with her life. But does the old general truly hope that Xi’er and this king will be separated"

Dugu City's eyes fell on Tao Su and Feng Lingxi, watching their movements. Although his heart ached, he refused to let go.ace for those bandits to settle down."Grandpa, don't be angry."Feng Lingxi felt Feng Aotian's displeasure, so she helped Feng Cangkai sit down."Just as Grandfather said, I live here without needing to...
