e will arrive in the capital in a few days and I will bring her to the palace to see you then." Dugu Cheng addressed Feng Lingxi by name without any emotion in his voice.Dugu Xiu glanced at him, "I al...Luo Qin'yi reached out and picked up a piece, putting it to her mouth and taking a bite. She smiled brightly, "It's pretty good."
Ye Xi was quite displeased with Luo Qin's action. He had said it was for the princess, and she was eating it herself, really treating herself as the princess.
The pastry in his hand was placed in Luo Qin's hands, "Since Consort Luo likes it, this one is for you. I'll go get another one for the Princess."
"Then, thank you, Night Watchman."
Luo Qin Yi got the pastry that Ye Xi gave to Feng Ling Xi. Whether she liked it or not didn't matter, what mattered was that she had taken it, and she felt very successful.
Ye Xi took a few steps and stopped.
"Lady Luo, don't forget what the Young Master said before, and don't forget about the Young Master's other identity."
After Ye Xi finished speaking, she left. Luo Qin's smile disappeared instantly, replaced by fear and anxiety. Would Ye Xi tell the master about her snatching the pastry
"Night watch."
Luo Qin'yi quickly stepped forward to stop Ye Xi, looking at Ye Xi's cold face, "Are you blaming me for eating this pastry I really didn't mean to, I..."
"Desserts cannot be taken again, but the Prince is the master. Ye Xi is his only master. Luo Side Consort should know the rules of Tianxiang Pavilion. If you don't control your thoughts, no one can save you."
"Night guard, I don't have one, I..."
"Your eyes have already betrayed you."
Luo Qin'yi's face was ashen. She had fallen in love with her master, could this be wrong
"Remember your station, subordinate, you are dismissed."
Ye Xi finished speaking and walked towards the kitchen. Luo Qin remained standing there, clenching her fists, her eyes burning with unwillingness. Could she really not be compared to Feng Lingxi
Feng Lingxi and Feng Siyu went to the back mountain of the General's Mansion with some seasoning powder from the kitchen. The mother and son worked together to catch two wild chickens in the back mountain, cleaned them up, and started making stewed chicken with chili peppers.
Ye Xi went into the kitchen and got some pastries. She didn't see the princess, so she brought the pastries back to the king's courtyard. Seeing the king talking with the two little princesses, and a rare smile on the king's face, she walked towards them.
"My Lord, I brought these pastries from the kitchen. Please try them, both ladies."
As soon as Ye Xi put it down, Feng Siqi reached out and grabbed a piece, taking a bite and revealing a satisfied smile.
Dugu Cheng took the pastry and offered it to Wan'er, "You try this This is your mother's favorite flavor."
Wan'er was slightly startled, took it, and put it to her mouth for a bite. Dugu City smiled and asked, "How is it"
Wan'er nodded and ate in small bites, while Feng Siqi had already eaten one and was taking large bites, not like Wan'er at all.
"My subordinate wanted to give the Queen a gift, but I didn't see her. Instead, I saw Lady Luo."
Ye Xi opened her mouth, and Wan'er's hand holding the pastries instantly stopped. She raised her eyes to look at Ye Xi, "What did she go to my mother for"
"When the subordinate arrived, the empress was no longer there. Only Luo Consort remained."
Ye Xi looked at the prince, her eyes were very conflicted. She wanted to speak with him alone, but County Princess Wan'er seemed unwilling to give up asking questions.
"Tell the truth."
"Subordinate…"
Just as Ye Xi was about to speak, she heard Luo Ce Fei smile and walk over, giving Dugu City a greeting, "This concubine greets the King."
Waner rolled her eyes and looked at Luo Qin'yi with disgust. She couldn't even stomach the pastries anymore.
It was Luo Qin'ye who saw this, her smile stiffened on her face, "Has my concubine disturbed Your Highness and the County Princess"
"That's right, my sister was just eating happily, but as soon as you came, she couldn't eat anymore."
Feng Siqi clutched the pastry, her eyes innocent, and said in all seriousness, "I guess she saw that you weren't hungry."
Luo Qin'yi's face turned even uglier. This Feng Siqi was truly unpleasant, even more detestable than this Wan'er.
"Didn't I tell you to go rest first Why are you back Besides, there's no need to bow to me in front of them."
Luo Qin's face instantly blossomed into a smile. Before she could speak, Dugu City continued, "I don't intend to hide your relationship with this king from the sisters. With the mission at hand, pack your things and return to Beijing tomorrow."
"Master, are you asking Yiyin to return to the capital tomorrow"
Luo Qin Yi's face turned pale and red, she clenched her fists, her knuckles white. Was she that much of an eyesore Did the Wang Ye dislike her this much
"Need I repeat myself"
Dugu Cheng looked at Luo Qin Yi, his eyes like ice, as if he had returned to the time when he was executing a mission at Tianxiang Tower. They had agreed that she would play the role of his concubine here, but now, five years later, her master treated her with such coldness. Could it be that Feng Ling Xi was really going to return to his side
"Farewell."
Luo Qin'yi bit her lip, preventing herself from crying out loud. Her voice was laced with grievance, as if it were about to break at any moment. She turned around, her figure leaving a trail of sorrow in its wake.
"Are you being so harsh to her just so I could see"
Wan'er looked at Dugu City. This was the first time she had seen him so fierce towards Luo Qin'yi. Before, he couldn't wait to hold her in his arms.
"No, her mission is over."
"Mission"
Wan'er looked at him with puzzled eyes. Seeing Dugu Cheng nod, she offered him a pastry, "She is someone who was arranged to be by my side. I haven't done anything to her, otherwise, there would have been many children in this Duke's mansion long ago."
"My Lady, the Prince King only let Luo Qin come to help him with his mission. This is the only way to ensure that the Princess can leave safely and be free from any involvement." Ye Xi explained, but Wan'er still didn't quite understand, after all, she was still just a child.
“Things in the imperial court are too complicated. To put it simply, five years ago, I kept Luo Qin Yi by my side because I wanted your mother to leave. Because she would be in danger if she stayed with me, so I had to drive her away.”
This was the first time Dugu City had spoken these words to Wan'er, he didn't know if she could understand, but Luo Qin had already developed improper feelings for him. He couldn't stay with her any longer, he had to end the mission ahead of schedule.
"My Lord, my subordinate hasn't finished speaking yet. Consort Luo is in the Lady's courtyard, her eyes filled with hatred and jealousy. I believe we should be more careful of her."
"Where is Naxi'er"
Du Gucheng's face changed drastically. Luo Qin Yi's martial arts weren't weak, would she really attack Xi Er
Thinking of this, Dugu City couldn't sit still. He got up, but it caused discomfort in his body, and his face instantly turned pale.
"The Princess should be fine, she had a frustrated look on her face. Your Highness, please don't get angry. This subordinate will go find the Princess and Young Master immediately and report back as soon as there is news."
Dugu Cheng waved his hand, "This king will go with you. If Luo Qin'yi really dares to touch Xi'er, this king will destroy her."
Wan'er and Feng Siqi saw Dugu Cheng get up, they hurried to follow him, running towards their mother's courtyard.
At the back mountain of the General's Mansion, in front of a bonfire, Feng Siyu and Feng Lingxi were flipping roasted rabbit, turning the mushrooms and meat on top. The aroma was intoxicating, enticing everyone from the General's Mansion to the back mountain, watching the mother and son duo.
>eng Lingxi got up and glanced at Li Wu Yan, "Wait for me to finish my work, and then we'll go back to the Yao Clan.""Uh huh."Li Wuyan ignored Luo Li's rolled eyes, watched Feng Lingxi leave, turned to...
