ugu Cheng hummed in response, looking at the two of them. "Fourth Brother, you've made great contributions this time in suppressing bandits. Just speak up if you want any rewards."Dugu Cheng looked at...Ye Xi came out and met Luo Qin Yi who was guarding the door. He nodded at her, just about to leave when Luo Qin Yi stopped him.

"Ye Xi, what did the King just say to you"

"The Lady Luo should go in and ask the Lord Wang herself. I still have some matters to attend to."

Lo Qin'yi hurriedly stopped Ye Xi, glanced inside the room, and lowered her voice, "Ye Xi, you and I both serve the master. There are some things that I'm really not comfortable asking. Can you help me"

“If Consort Luo has anything she wants to ask, she might as well tell the Prince. The Prince is not so heartless.”

Ye Xi could feel the changes in Luo Qin'yi recently, especially after the princess returned. He could sense her animosity toward the princess growing day by day. She had originally been serving the king as a concubine, but now, there was a sense that she wanted to usurp the rightful place.

Luo Qin'yi shook her head hurriedly, "If I told the Prince about this, he definitely wouldn't tell me. And, I know the master has always been very kind to you, please ask him for me, just consider it my request."

"This subordinate dares not, Consort Luo please speak."

Although they were all fake, the identity was real. He, Ye Xi, was just a guard and had to abide by the rules.

"Could you please tell the Master and I that I wish to cancel my betrothal I want to stay by his side, serving him for my entire life."

Ye Xi couldn't help but smile when she heard this. It seemed that Luo Qin Yi had really forgotten her original intention. The master chose her back then because she understood her own identity and status. Sure enough, time can change a person.

"Lady Luo, this subordinate dares to remind you, do you still remember what the master said to you when he kept you by his side"

"I…"

Luo Qin'yi bit her lip, her eyes filled with struggle and unwillingness.

"We are all under the command of His Royal Highness, and we should know his temper. We absolutely cannot offend him. Don't make any mistakes."

The feelings the King has for his Queen are not something she can intrude upon. If the King were so easily swayed by other women, there wouldn't be so many worries in the first place.

"But I still want to try. I feel that my master isn't indifferent to me. In these five years, following my master, I can still see the changes he has made towards me..."

"That was just for show." Yexi corrected, "When has the Wangye ever truly looked at you Has he ever let you touch his body Wake up, recognize your own identity, don't get so caught up that you can't escape."

Ye Xi finished speaking and bowed towards Luo Qin Yi, "This subordinate has other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first."

Luo Qin'yi lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears. She stood there for a while before composing herself and walking inside.

"Yexi."

Waner looked at Ye Xi who was walking over, "What did you just say to Luo Qin'yi"

"Greetings, Your Grace."

Ye Xi quickly bowed and said, "The Luo concubine asked about the young master's health, and I answered her questions."

"Ye Xi, is his condition really that bad"

Waner didn't dwell on what Luo Qin Yi and Ye Xi had said. Instead, she asked about Dugu City's condition. After all, he was her father, and if something really happened to him, she would still be sad.

Ye Xi nodded, "The Wang Ye's condition has worsened over the past five years. The County Princess can also see it. The master has been depressed ever since the Queen left. Back when the Queen disappeared, he thought she was gone forever. The Wang Ye was terrified and could only search for her in secret. His heart is full of bitterness."

"Serves him right, who asked him to leave my mother in the first place."

Wan'er clenched her fists in anger, but when she saw him so weak and sick, her anger dissipated.

"Didn't you tell him to live a good life My mother is back now. What does he have to be so troubled about He should just live well, and let him see my mother. Life will be better without him."

Wan'er spoke, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"My Lady, I can see you care for the Prince. Could you please refrain from speaking with such barbed words The Prince is very attuned to your every word and deed. He listens to everything you say, and yet, each time you speak, it wounds him deeply."

Waner remained silent, knowing her words and actions were excessive. But all she wanted was to seek justice for her mother.

"Ye Xi, is his illness really incurable"

"Yes, the Princess is the antidote to the Prince."

Ye Xi said without hesitation, "Didn't the doctor say so The prince's illness can be light or serious. If he unties his heart knot, he will be fine. If he can't untie it, then things will be bad."

Wǎn’er clenched her fist, "Can't he solve it himself"

"If it were really that easy, Your Highness wouldn't be in this situation now. He can't figure it out himself, and I'm powerless to help. Besides, I've advised Your Highness before, but he just told me not to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Wan'er became even more angry.

He must have done it on purpose, just to force my mother to save him.

Ye Xi hurriedly spoke up for the King, "County Lord, you're wronging the King. The King has always forbidden us from speaking about these things. He would rather have problems himself than let the Queen know."

Wan'er became increasingly angry, feeling more and more that it was not his fault.

Ye Xi sighed, “Lady Junhua, this subordinate still needs to find Young Master Lu. You should go back first. With Lady Luo taking care of the Prince, there’s nothing to worry about here.”

"There she is again, that insufferable woman."

Waner left angrily, Ye Xi watched Waner's leaving figure, sighed helplessly, and walked towards the backyard.

Feng Ling Xi was in the courtyard, watching Feng Si Yu and Feng Si Qi practicing martial arts. Sweat dripped from their foreheads. She walked up to them and wiped their sweat, letting them rest for a while.

After Grandfather's funeral arrangements were completed, Feng Aotian was busy dealing with Li Xianling and the bully Yu Youliang. As for this General's Mansion matter, she couldn't help, so she could only stay in the backyard and keep the children company.

"I'm so mad."

Wǎn'er walked over and sat down, angrily taking sips of the water on the table. She drank several mouthfuls but was still angry.

What's wrong

Feng Lingxi poured Wan'er a cup of water and looked at her flushed expression. "Didn't I tell you to go find a doctor for your father How is he doing Why are you so upset"

"Mother, what do you think he can't say"

Feng Lingxi was completely baffled by what Wan'er said, she had no idea what Wan'er was asking.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you Tell Mother everything."

"You asked me to get a doctor for him, and I did. The doctor said his condition is depression, which can be mild or severe, all mental illnesses. He also said that heart disease needs heart medicine."

Fei Ling xi hummed in agreement, "The doctor wasn't wrong. It's a problem in his heart."

Wan'er looked up at her mother, her eyes red-rimmed, and choked out in a voice filled with distress, "Mother, the doctor said his illness is still very serious."

Feng Ling reached out and gently wiped the tears from Wan'er's eyes, "What do you want your mother to do Should she save him"

"Waner doesn't want him to treat her mother like this. Waner doesn't want her mother to help him at all, but if her mother doesn't help him, Waner is afraid he will really die." sure, should we keep watching”Dugu Cheng shook his head, "There's no need to keep staring. Dugu Xiu wouldn't be unaware of this matter. When they fight, Dugu Yan will be watching on." Dugu Yan was no...
