Chapter 324: Seizing Power 79

e under the sun. Yet she's treated worse than a concubine! Father, although you are a military man, these principles should still be understood. Throughout history, favoring concubines over wives has...Although I guessed that Yao Feifei wouldn't cooperate with Prince Galo, I didn't expect her to leave on the way. However, this means the cooperation between Galo and Yao Feifei is off. Yao Feifei needs to find other partners.

"The best partner is the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty."

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly. When she said this, she didn't notice at all that she had exposed her recovered memory. Her eyes narrowed slightly, "All the people sent by the Empress Dowager are already in the Chao Xia Dynasty. Yao Feifei will definitely cooperate with them."

"My Xi'er is indeed exceptionally intelligent, seeing through the pros and cons at a glance."

Feng Lingxi came back to her senses and quickly straightened her expression, "Mother, I was just making random guesses. If what I said is wrong, please don't take it to heart."

"Xier's analysis is very accurate. Yao Feifei leaving the Galo Kingdom Prince, her best cooperative partner is the Empress Dowager of the Dayuan Dynasty. She wants Zixing, she wants your life, and so does Yao Feifei. Moreover, the strength of the Dayuan Dynasty far exceeds that of the Galo Kingdom. If they join forces, it will undoubtedly be what Yao Feifei desires most."

Yaowan said, holding Feng Lingxi's hand, "Xier, do you have any good ideas What can we do to deal with Yao Feifei"

Feng Lingxi was startled by her mother's intense gaze and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Mother, Xi'er will try her best not to do it again. Mother, please spare Xi'er this time."

"You silly child, if you could come up with such a plan, you must have a way. Think carefully and figure out the best way to deal with Yao Feifei."

Feng Lingxi responded and stood up, "Then Xi'er will go back first."

Yaowan Ying nodded. Feng Lingxi hurriedly took Xiaoli away, the panic in her eyes disappearing instantly. "Xiaoli, it seems like Mother found out."

"Miss, why don't you tell the mistress The mistress will definitely help you cover it up."

"Not yet."

Feng Lingxi quickened her pace. She shouldn't have gone to find her mother. This revealed too much, and it wasn't good for her. What if this got into Yao Feifei's ears The next time they clashed, Yao Feifei would be much harder to deal with.

"Why didn't Xi'er tell me she recovered her memory"

Yao Wan Ying let out a soft sigh. This child, she really couldn't understand him at all.

"Madam, who are you talking about"

Dugu Cheng walked over, and Yao Wan'ying saw him. She quickly put away her expression and smiled, saying, "Your Highness, are you finished"

"Once Huangfu finished his business, he prepared to set out. He had been very busy these past few days and hadn't had time to visit Xi'er. He wondered if she was still angry with him."

"Xier is a sensible girl. So many days have passed, her anger should have subsided by now. Go and see her, she just left from me."

Du Gucheng looked up and sure enough, he saw Xi'er's back. He hurriedly called out and chased after her.

"Xiao Li, if the rain stops later, let's go for a stroll down the street. I'm going stir crazy staying inside."

This mood is just like the weather right now, incredibly gloomy.

"Miss, are you thinking about the Lord You aren't usually like this."

Feng Lingxi's expression stiffened slightly, "No, I wonder what he wants to do"

Xiaoli covered her mouth and smiled. Miss, your expression clearly shows that you miss the prince, but you're still pretending to be tough.

"Xi'er."

Dugu City quickly caught up and called out to Feng Lingxi. Hearing Dugu City's voice, Feng Lingxi's mood was a little excited, but it soon calmed down. She turned to look at the sweat on Dugu City's head and said calmly, "What's the matter"

"I have something serious to talk to you about."

獨孤城 learned his lesson. Now he avoids talking about feelings with Xi’er, as it always makes her furious. He needs to find a different approach.

"Go to his house and tell him that it's going to rain soon."

Feng Lingxi nodded and didn't say much. She thought he would say that he was busy these days and couldn't say hello to her. It seemed she had overthought it.

"Xiao Li, go pour some tea."

Feng Lingxi ordered, Du Gu Cheng sat down and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"These days, I've been discussing the matter of going on an expedition with Huanghufu Qingyun. I will return to Linxi County tomorrow to say goodbye to you."

"That fast"

Feng Lingxi's heart skipped a beat. Dugu Cheng looked at the surprise in her eyes, reached out and took her hand, "Xi'er, wait for me here, wait for me to come back, I will tell you about our other things from before."

Feng Lingxi drew back her hand, "When will we set out tomorrow"

"Huangfu Qingyun's forces will set out the day after tomorrow, and the main army will join mine in Linxi County. We estimate it will take about three days to attack the Garlo Kingdom. If everything goes smoothly, the entire campaign should be completed within a month."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Then you should take good care of yourself."

Dugu Cheng responded, looking at her with a calm expression. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Xi'er, I will think of you."

Feng Lingxi remained silent. The words spoken by Dugu Cheng left her mind in turmoil. She was unsure whether she should confess everything to him now. If she followed Dugu Cheng on his campaign, she wouldn't be able to handle Yao Feifei's situation.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

Feng Lingxi pushed the tea that Xiao Li had brought over to him, "When you get back, I'll tell you something too."

Dugu Cheng nodded, a smile appearing on his handsome face. "As long as Xi'er doesn't get angry with me, I'm very happy."

"I'm not angry anymore."

Feng Lingxi didn't want him to go on a campaign while still remembering that she was angry with him. Looking at Du Gucheng's gentle expression, Feng Lingxi lowered her head to drink tea.

"Little Li, while I'm away on campaign, you must take good care of Young Mistress. When I return, I will reward you greatly."

"My lord, have no worries, Xiaoli will take good care of the young mistress."

Xiao Li glanced at the princess, then heard Dugu Cheng say, "Ye Xi just said he had something to find you, so go find him. This king still has something to say to Xi'er."

Xiao Li glanced at the princess, seeing her nod before withdrawing.

"Well, what else is there"

After sending Xiaoli away, Dugu City took out a box and handed it to her.

"Xi'er, this is a gift that this king has always wanted to give you, but I never had the chance. This time when this king goes out on campaign, please accept it. When this king returns, this king hopes to have your answer."

Feng Lingxi looked at the box he placed in front of her, reaching out to open it, but Dugucheng pressed down on her hand.

"After I leave, you open it."

"Mysterious, what's inside this"

Dugu Cheng smiled, "You'll know if you open it yourself."

Feng Lingxi put the box away, "Be careful on your expedition, and take care of yourself."

"You too, if you need anything, just look for your mother. After all, she's the Holy Lord of the Yao clan, and has quite a few people under her command here. Perhaps she can be of help. This expedition, I absolutely must bring Ye Xi with me. Take care of yourself."

"I'm safe here, don't worry. Besides, I have Xiao Li protecting me. This is the Ah Xia Dynasty, who would dare to bully me"

"Then you have to be more careful. What if the Empress Dowager's people come looking..."

The words that had almost left Dugu City's mouth were swallowed back. "Forget it, perhaps I overthought things."ying into my royal family will be a hardship for you."Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at his sudden passionate appearance, she was really a bit unaccustomed to it. "If you hadn't designed me to marry you...
