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 b...獨孤城 returned to his room, and Zhang the physician promptly arrived, treating him with a worried expression.

"My Lord, your body..."

"Doctor Zhang, I am unharmed." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Dugu Cheng interrupted Zhang Yi's words, looking at Feng Siqi beside him. He couldn't let his daughter worry.

Feng Siqi stared at Dugu Cheng's pale and handsome face. Even like this, he still said it wasn't a problem. How could this person not take his own body seriously

How could Mother possibly like such a man

Feng Siqi's little face was full of doubt, but she remained silent.

"My Lord, I've brought you medicine. You should rest well."

Dr. Zhang got up and walked to the side, Ye Xi hurriedly followed, looking nervous.

"Doctor Zhang, the prince just vomited blood. How is his condition Is he really alright"

"How is this possible" Dr. Zhang sighed, looking towards Dugu City, "The King won't let me say, so I am helpless."

Ye Xi's face was grim. "Then you tell me, what's my master like I need to know so I can figure out a way to persuade him."

"The Prince's condition has worsened, which isn't logical. It suddenly became much more serious, and his emotions are fluctuating greatly. This is very harmful to him, as it drains his energy and spirit. Perhaps the night guard should advise Crown Prince Chen again."

"Thank you, Dr. Zhang. I will advise the Lord."

Dr. Zhang went to write a prescription and decoct the medicine. Ye Xi glanced at Wangye, who was waiting behind with Feng and Siqi, a worried expression on her face. This Wangye's condition was so serious, she still had to find his wife and ask for her help. If she waited any longer, it might be too late.

"My lord, I'll go get the medicine. You rest here first."

Dugu Cheng responded, with Feng Siqi by his side. He was still quite happy.

"Why didn't you let the imperial physician finish speaking Are you lying"

Feng Siqi and Dugu Cheng started chatting. Before Dugu Cheng could speak, she said again, "Actually, I could tell even without you saying anything. You're afraid I'll find out the truth and tell others, but don't worry, I won't say a word. Let me tell you, doctors are bound by medical ethics to keep their patients' secrets."

Dugu Cheng smiled.

"Is this what your mother taught you"

Feng Siqi nodded, looking at Dugu Cheng still smiling, reaching out to touch his forehead.

"You look really good when you smile. Was that the reason your mother liked you in the first place"

Du Gu Cheng reminisced about the past, thoughtfully pondering, “It should be like this, back then, it was your mother who first pursued this King.”

"This is my mother's nature."

Feng Siqi nodded. "My mother said that if you meet someone you like, you have to make a move. If you're too late, someone else will snatch them away. But you can't force it either. A forced melon is not sweet, so if someone doesn't like you, let go."

"Your mother taught you quite a lot."

When someone mentioned Feng Lingxi, Dugu City's mood improved a lot. Moreover, it wasn't as heavy anymore. Most importantly, he really enjoyed talking to Siqi about Xi'er.

"Mother just doesn't like to say, this one is a bit like you."

Feng Siqi looked at Du Gucheng, her lips curled in disdain.

This is so annoying.

"Is she like that too"

Dugu City's eyes instantly became downcast. It turned out that Xier also liked to keep her own worries hidden. Then how many things was she hiding

At first, they agreed to be honest with each other about everything. However, in the end, none of them told the other the truth.

Five years ago, when he executed his mission, he thought sending Xi'er to the Lu family was the best arrangement. He waited until he got through these few years and then brought her back, but he never expected such a mishap to happen.

When he had no news from Xi'er, what he feared most was that Xi'er would return to her world. He would never see her again, missing her day and night, regretting his past actions every day. He lived in a daze, neglecting himself until his health deteriorated. He lost interest in everything. Fortunately, now that Xi'er has returned, his world has once again been illuminated by her presence.

But faced with Xi'er, he couldn't let go, nor could he approach her. He could only watch from afar.

Feng Siqi reached out and waved her hand in front of his face, her eyes never blinking.

"Are you alright"

Dugu Cheng came back to his senses and looked at Feng Siqi's eyes, which were staring straight at him. Her small eyes were full of worry as she trembled and asked, "Can you let me hug you"

Feng Siqi hurriedly opened her arms and hugged Dugu City, her voice soft, "Didn't you hug me last time Are you feeling very sad inside I thought you were about to cry." Dugu City held Feng Siqi tightly. These years of inner suppression had been holding back, but hugging Feng Siqi, he truly felt it. He suddenly realized that his newly appeared daughter still cared about him.

Three children, only this youngest daughter was willing to talk to him more. Sīyù saw too much coldness in his eyes, just like Xī'er. That look, that attitude, felt like a blade, stabbing at his heart and making it ache unbearably.

"May I come in"

Feng Siyu walked in, looking at the scene of them hugging. Thinking of what Mr. Tao said, he gritted his teeth and went inside.

Upon hearing Siyu's voice, Dugu Cheng hastily raised his eyes. His eyes reddened as he looked at Feng Siyu, trying to conceal his emotions.

"Are you alright"

"It's alright, how did you come here Are you here to see this king"

Du Gucheng quickly composed himself, not wanting Si Yu to see him looking disheveled.

Wind Siyu walked to his front, looking at Dugu City.

"I'm a straightforward person, I ask you and expect an answer."

Dugu Cheng nodded, watching Feng Siyu suddenly do this, his heart inexplicably fluttered.

"Are you really very sick"

Du Gu Cheng was taken aback. Feng Si Yu glared at him unhappily, "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to ask anything further."

"Hmm."

Dugu Cheng responded quickly this time, his pale handsome face filled with helplessness. He didn't want to be so weak either, but what could he do These years, the illness had taken root.

"Then back then, did you really want to divorce my mother and abandon her"

"No."

Dugu Cheng answered very quickly, looking at Feng Siyu's questioning gaze, he explained, "This king only wanted to send her to the Lu family. I didn't want to really divorce her, it was all a matter of expediency."

"It's ruined, the wife ran away and took the child!"

Feng Siyu wore a look of disdain, grumbling with displeasure, "I really don't know how you became this war god. If you used even half the brainpower you put into fighting in your everyday life, you wouldn't be in this state."

Dugu City was so despised by his own son that he didn't even dare to utter a word.

If battlefield tactics were used against Xi'er, his life would be even harder.

"You don't understand anything. If you try to fight her with tactics, you'll end up worse off. Don't think your mother is stupid. Don't you remember what grandpa used to say A woman like your mother, she responds to kindness, not force."

Feng Siqi glared at Feng Siyu, her hands on her hips, and began to reprimand him.

> by Wan'er. Yesterday, he boasted about being a good eater, but though he didn't cry or make a fuss, he wasn't as quiet and still as he was today, standing before Dugu City. This amounted to declaring...
