you, Lord Wang, for your care and protection."Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, at first she didn't understand, now she knew, Dugu Cheng had done all this to help her deal with the Empress. She fainted, e..."No matter what the Empress Dowager asks of you, you don't have to listen. You are a princess from Xi Gu Country, as long as you refuse, she can't do anything to you."

"And," Duke Gucheng said, "I will help you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gucheng's nervous eyes and nodded.

I didn't agree to her, I refused her, and she is angry.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, raising her eyes to look at Dugu Cheng's tightly furrowed brows. "Dugu Cheng, be honest with me. In these past five years, has she ever treated you as her son"

"Why are you asking this, Xi'er"

Dugu Cheng's eyes were deep, and he asked in a low voice, "What did the Empress Dowager and you say to each other"

"Just let me give you the child, nothing else." Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gu Cheng's anxious eyes, "I just want to know what the Empress Dowager thinks of you."

"She's my biological mother, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own child. She wouldn't harm me, you can rest assured."

Du Gu Cheng's heart was as if pierced by a needle, the pain was excruciating. Tiger poison doesn't eat its young, this saying is right. But, over these years, the Empress Dowager had made him feel that tiger poison does indeed eat its young.

He was still alive only because his body had deteriorated so much that even the imperial physicians at court were helpless, allowing him to linger on.

This imperial power is truly alluring. Back then, my mother viewed power as filth, yet in the end, she was willing to abandon even her own son for it.

"That's good, these days you stay here and I will cure your body so you don't have to worry about being unwell." Feng Lingxi grasped Dugu City's hand and felt his pulse, thinking about what kind of medicine to give him. This knot in Dugu City's heart had loosened a little, but this tonic for his body couldn't be too strong, as he was weak and couldn't handle it.

"Xier, why are you suddenly so kind to this king"

He felt uneasy, something was off. This wasn't how they usually interacted.

Feng Lingxi's hand stiffened as she held onto his, then she looked up at Dugu Cheng's evasive gaze and said earnestly, "You are my patient, and you can't have anything happen to you. After all, you are Wan'er's father, don't forget that. Wan'er will be ten years old soon."

Dugu Cheng still had some expectations in his heart, thinking that Xi'er was showing him compassion. He didn't expect it was because of Wan'er that she treated him this way. Thinking about it, what qualifications did he have now to make Xi'er return to his side

To be able to spend time together like this, to have a good conversation, he should be content.

"You can tell me any thoughts you have."

"Indeed, but now is not the time. Your body, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand the shock if you knew. You need to recover first." Feng Lingxi became serious. "Dugu City, I hope you recover quickly, for Wan'er."

"This king understands, and will cooperate with you. Get well soon."

Wan'er, this is what he owes his daughter. From Wan'er's birth to now, he has always owed her. As for Siyu and Siqi, they are even more so. Although he already has three children, he owes them too much. He doesn't deserve to be their father.

"With you saying that, I can treat you with peace of mind."

The food arrived, Feng Lingxi served Du Gucheng, "Eat something first, in a while I'll give you acupuncture, plus the special medicine I prepared, it will be much better."

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi give him the food, lowering his head and eating large bites. His eyes were fixed on Feng Ling Xi, his heart filled with sweetness.

"Your Highness, is this forgiving the King"

Ye Xi stood in the darkness for a long time, and after a while, she muttered to herself.

"You said there's any way to make them reconcile"

Lu Nian suddenly asked Ye Xi, this question startled Ye Xi so much that he just shivered and hurriedly waved his hand, smiling awkwardly as he stepped back. "Lord Lu, you're joking, aren't you The princess and the king have already divorced. If they were to get back together, unless the princess forced my master King once."

"Such a crude way" Lu Nian rested her chin, thinking seriously.

"Back then, didn't the princess just sleep with the prince The prince couldn't stand it and brought her back to the manor to torment her, which is how their feelings developed"

This kind of love that grows over time, how can you just say it's a joke

Lu Nian nodded. "That makes sense. Then you try to find a way to let Xi'er try again."

Night Xi's face was filled with terror, she pointed at herself, "Me"

Lu Nian nodded, "Of course, wouldn't you want your Lord Wang and his wife to get back together"

"Of course I do," he dreamt of it, if the Princess returned, his little Li could return too.

Lu Nian spread his hands, "Isn't that right As long as you want, you can make your wife be more assertive. If she did something to offend your husband back then, just do it again! I support you."

Lu Nian winked at Ye Xi, who immediately shook her head, feeling a cold sweat break out all over. "Master Lu, you can't frame me! How could I possibly harm the Princess I..."

"Don't you want your Lord and Lady to reconcile"

Of course I want to, but...

"Where there are so many 'buts'" Lu Nian rolled her eyes. "Do you have the heart to see your lord and lady living like this every day"

Ye Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't want to, and couldn't let him do such a thing, could he

What is the identity of this princess, who would he have offended

Besides, playing tricks with a divine doctor is courting death, isn't it

Lu Nian patted Ye Xi's shoulder, "The mission is important, you just think it over carefully and see how to go about it. Don't worry, I'll support you mentally."

Ye Xi watched Lu Nian's departing figure. He walked away with such ease, but why give him such a difficult task

He swallowed nervously, Ye Xi feeling a chill down her spine.

I would never do such a thing, or I'd be asking for trouble.

Actually, what Lu Nian said wasn't unreasonable.

A voice came, and Ye Xi turned to look at Tao Su beside her. Seeing the three little ghosts behind him, she hurriedly greeted them.

"I have met three young masters, Master Tao."

"Ye Xi, what's going on with them Did they make up"

Wan'er had been there for a while, watching her mother constantly holding onto her father's hand. The relationship between the two seemed less stiff than before. They also heard what Lu Nian said, although they didn't quite understand what was going on, it seemed very reasonable.

"Master Lu asked his subordinates to help the Crown Princess and Prince reconcile, Miss Jun, this was truly not Ye Xi's own idea."

Be sure to look at all sides carefully and don't blame him for everything. He is really innocent in this matter.

"Then just do as your uncle said. Uncle Tao just said too, mother has feelings for father. Since mother is interested, then you help her out. These few days we won't disturb mother."

Waner finished speaking, Siqi and Siyu hurriedly agreed. Yexi looked at the three of them, tears wouldn't come out. How could these three little ancestors change their faces faster than a princess

"I obey your orders."

Tao Su chuckled softly, "Don't think about it so terrifyingly, Xiao Feng isn't as fierce as you imagine, she's actually very gentle." at the smile on the Empress Dowager's face, Feng Yu Xi felt a chill down her spine."I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.""Your Excellency, the Empress Dowager heard that before you married into...
