Chapter 327: Seizing Power 82

egs aching from standing. Finally, the sound of the wooden fish stopped. Feng Lingxi saw Zhao MaMa supporting a noblewoman out. She was dressed simply and looked to be in her thirties. She was a beaut..."Father, why are you asking this"

Feng Linglong's eyes dodged, which made Feng Aotiān even more certain of his guess.

He really couldn't believe it, that Yuxi, who was once the best friend of Xi'er, would actually push Xi'er off a cliff.

"Tell your old man the truth, he won't tell anyone."

Feng Linglong nodded, looking at her father's pain in his eyes, she quickly comforted, "Father, Yu Xi is also doing this for the future of the Feng family. Besides, now that the third sister is an enemy to us, Yu Xi has no choice but to do this..."

"Enemy A last resort"

Feng Aotien looked at Feng Linglong, truly unable to believe these were the words coming from his daughter.

"I've always pampered you because you were sensible and generous. But now, for power and status, you tell me your own sister is the enemy Linglong, do you know what you're saying"

Feng Aotien's eyes were full of disappointment, "Xi'er isn't doing well. She's all your sister…"

"Father, she is a wanted criminal of the imperial court. Don't forget, she is the murderer who poisoned the late emperor."

Feng Linglong's face fell, she had planned to scheme against Feng Yu Xi but her father didn't seem to be listening.

She's really infuriating. This blasted Feng Lingxi, isn't she trying to get her father to speak up for her

"Father, you are now a member of the imperial family. Think carefully about the future of the Feng family."

Wind Linglong finished speaking and left on her own.

Feng Aotian clenched his fist, sadly closing his eyes.

Wan Ying, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to them back then. Now, I've hurt both you and Xi Er. It's all my fault.

Feng Lingxi sneezed, subconsciously touching her arm. After the rain, there was a hint of coolness. Looking at the gradually subsiding rain, Feng Lingxi returned to the room and saw Dugu City and Huangfu Qingyun, who had already changed their clothes. She walked in front of them.

"Since you all know about me recovering my memory, I'll be straight with you. I want you to pretend you don't know I've gotten my memories back. I need to lure the snake out of its hole and catch Yao Feifei."

"Xi'er, will you still venture out"

Du Gucheng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "I can't agree to you."

Feng Lingxi's face darkened. "What if I insist"

"Xier!"

Dugu City looked at her, their eyes met. Dugu City was defeated, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"You're being too reckless. Don't you know the Empress Dowager is also here If they team up with Yao Feifei, you'll be in grave danger."

“I’ve been waiting for them to come to me. Dugu City, old and new accounts, it's time to settle with them. Father was poisoned, you wouldn't want me to bear this burden my whole life, would you” Feng Lingxi’s question made Dugu City’s body stiffen. He quickly said, “Xi’er, I’ve never wanted you to bear this burden for a lifetime. I already have plans. Once things here are settled, I’ll take you back and get justice for you.”

Why wait to go back, you can stay here.

Feng Lingxi asked Dugu Cheng, "Do you believe me"

Her confidence in her eyes made Dugu City helpless. This was what he feared most. Xi'er was like this; once she made a decision, ten oxen couldn't pull her back.

She knew the danger, but she still refused to give up this good opportunity.

"Xier, the Fourth Prince is only afraid that you're in danger. This Empress not only wants your Purple Star, but also your life. Understand him."

After such a long separation, how could Dugu City bear to let Xi'er be in danger

Have you never heard the saying "Those who survive a great calamity will surely be blessed" I, Feng Lingxi, fell off a cliff and lived. It was for this very reason—to seek revenge.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over Dugu Cheng's worried face, cold and sharp. "I'm not as incompetent as you think. On the day of the fall, if it hadn't been for the soldiers falling on me, I wouldn't have fallen."

She explained that she didn't want Dugu City to know that she was incompetent. She didn't have the ability, so how dare she tell Xiao Li that she could jump off a cliff and wait for her rescue.

She never expected to be struck by a falling soldier and tumble off the cliff. Perhaps this was Heaven's test for her.

"Then you promise me, you have to be careful, don't act impulsively, must discuss with Mother, if there is danger, you must evacuate, can't get into danger, can't…"

"I'll take care of it."

Feng Lingxi interrupted his incessant chatter, knowing he was worried about her. However, she had to face these things herself.

She believed she could definitely do it.

"What the Fourth King said was right, once you make a decision, no one can change it. That's why you told me, even without Dugu City, you wouldn't like me."

Huangfu Qingyun let out a self-deprecating laugh, he now understood.

He and Feng Lingxi were not the same kind of people at all. The woman he wanted was someone he could protect, but Feng Lingxi was someone he couldn't. Her wings were meant to soar in the sky, while he would only break them, causing her distress.

While Dugu City could do it even if it was difficult.

"You deserve a better girl."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Huangfu Qingyun and continued, "Dugu Cheng, don't forget what I did when we were in Linxi County. You have to believe in my abilities."

"Good."

Unable to resist her, Dugu City knew that the moment she regained her memory, he had already lost. Before she regained her memory, he could forcefully prevent her from taking risks, but now that she had her memories back, he had lost his chance.

Xi'er's personality, he understood. Once she made a decision, she wouldn't give him the right to say no.

It was then that he realized how much she cared about the injustice of being framed for poisoning their father. He had intended to find her and clear her name, but his delay not only failed to do so but also created a hurdle in Xi'er's heart that she couldn't overcome.

"Then you should go back to rest early, tomorrow you have to go back to Linxi County."

Huangpu Qingyun stood up and said to Dugu City, "Since you want to rest, I won't disturb you."

From the moment he decided to let go, he had already decided to let go of Xi'er. Her happiness, her joy, was enough for him. Just as his mother said, when you truly know what it means to love someone, you will know how to do what is best for her.

Dugu Cheng had never wronged Xi'er. They were together, since they were a loving couple, he should bless them, instead of destroying their relationship for the sake of Xi'er.

Otherwise, even if Xi'er was obtained, Xi'er would never be happy for a lifetime.

"You should go back and rest early too."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, watching the smile on his handsome face gradually disappear. Huangfu Qingyun patted his shoulder, "Together."

Dugu Cheng's eyes fell on Feng Ling Xi, but were met with a gaze that stifled him. He had no choice but to obediently follow Huangfu Qingyun out.

"I didn't expect to see you so cowardly in front of Xi'er. You can't even get onto the bed with your own wife."

Dugu Cheng wasn't angry at all. Thinking back to what had happened when he first tried to get into Xi Er's bed, a smile spread across his lips.

"You don't understand, that's how I was back then, that's why I fell in love with Xi'er."on't blame me if it's inaccurate.""My Queen, we should leave now."Shangguan Huan shouted, "Since Bai Xiaosheng has said so much, asking any further questions will be pointless."Wind Lingxi responded a...
