e after another.Feng Lingxi asked for the dowry list, and after counting through it, her brows furrowed."Where is the Purple Jade Guanyin"The housemaid, startled by the Fourth Miss's cold question, fe...Du Gucheng was very surprised. Yuan Zhaodi smiled and said, "You probably don't believe me, but you actually recognize this person."

"I wonder who the emperor is referring to"

"Empress Dowager."

獨孤城神色一僵，滿是不信，“這不可能，臣自幼跟著太後，她從未見過任何……” 獨孤城想到了風淩兮的生母姚婉瑩，當初孃親可是說過她認得姚婉瑩，難道太後和姚婉瑩是一起的？

This is impossible, if it were really the Yao clan, why has the Empress Dowager never mentioned it

"It's understandable that you don't believe me. There are so many Yao people in the world, they are spread all over the place, and they hide very well. Their identities are diverse, and no one knows who is and who isn't. I tell you these things today because if you want to participate in the affairs of the Yao people, I will help you."

"Your Majesty"

Dugu City couldn't believe his ears, wondering why Emperor Yuan Zhao would suddenly say such a thing. Did he also want a share of the pie

Emperor Yuan Zhao took a deep breath, "This time when I fell ill, I thought this was the end. But you chose me, and made me understand that when Dugu Xiu was dying, he told me to treat the emperor's children well. Now I can feel what he meant when he said that."

Emperor Yuan Zhao’s words were tinged with sadness, “Father, even in heaven, wouldn't want to see us brothers fighting over this throne. We should all work together and uphold the legacy our father left behind. It doesn't matter who sits on the throne, as long as we benefit the people, it is all the same.”

Dugu City listened to Emperor Yuan Zhao's words, and for a moment didn't know how to respond.

Emperor Yuan Zhao patted his shoulder, "I know no one will believe these words, but I say what I do. Whatever you and Feng Lingxi want to do, I promise you. Regarding the Yao clan, whatever you need, just speak to me, and I will do my best to satisfy you. Whether it's troops or money, as long as I have it, I will support you."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly knelt down, "I, on behalf of Feng Lingxi, express our gratitude to Your Majesty's grace."

Emperor Yuan Zhao hurriedly helped Dugu City up, “Get up, you are my regent, the future of the Great Yuan Dynasty depends on you.”

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I am willing to serve you faithfully forever."

Dugu Cheng's heart was pounding. Emperor Yuan Zhao's words were too shocking, leaving him stunned and terrified.

No matter if it was a test, all he could do now was listen to what his heart had to say.

"After this, you needn't hand over the military power to me anymore. I know you need it right now. When I recover, I'll return to court. You can then go and do your business with Feng Lingxi. If there's anything you need my help with, just speak up."

"Your Majesty, many thanks."

This, Dugu City really heard it. The emperor allowed him and Xi'er to go together to deal with the Yao clan, he was already beyond grateful.

"I heard the Empress Dowager's mood has been unstable these past few days, so I shall go and see her."

When it came to the Empress Dowager, Dugu City still had many doubts in his heart, but he couldn't say anything now. Although Emperor Yuan Zhao said that the Empress Dowager was his biological mother, Wang Yu personally told him she wasn't. Li Wu Yan also asked, and the Empress Dowager admitted that he wasn't her biological son.

"The Emperor's health is paramount."

Emperor Yuan Zhao felt Dugu City's restraint, sighed softly, and realized that he still couldn't make him believe his words.

"Get out."

"I bid you farewell."

Dugugu City hadn't left the imperial palace, and he went straight to the General Zhen Guo's mansion. Wherever Feng Lingxi was, that's where he followed.

"Empress Dowager, the Regent King entered the palace to see the Emperor and then left. If the Empress Dowager wishes to see him, I will go and invite him."

"No need."

The Empress lay on the soft couch, her complexion not looking good.

"Something happened at the Zhen Guo General's Mansion. The Lady of the Zhen Guo passed away suddenly, and the General was also injured by someone. You should tell him to go deal with it."

"Granny Zhang responded, 'This servant obeys.'"

The Empress sighed, "Feng Lingxi really is capable. This empress has only one son in her life, and all her thoughts are on her. The empress's heart is truly suffocating."

"Your Majesty, why do you insist on saying that the Regent King is not your son The servants have heard that the Regent King has been in a bad mood these days, his complexion pale and haggard. It seems this is all because of your words, which have wounded him deeply."

"I'm doing this for his own good, you don't understand."

The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples, "Zhang Ma'ma, you convey a message to the Emperor for me. I want to see him, I miss him."

Zhang Mama responded, and the Empress Dowager looked at the bracelet on her wrist, sighing.

As soon as Zhenguogongfu arrived, he heard the servants say that Feng Aotian had already woken up and Feng Lingxi was taking care of him. When Zhenguogongfu reached the courtyard, he could hear the voices inside. Seeing Lu Nian there, he quickly stepped forward.

The Regent has arrived.

The people reported, Feng Aotien hurriedly supported his body to get down, Du Gu Cheng hurriedly stopped him.

"General, be careful."

"You came back so quickly I thought you'd be later."

Feng Lingxi saw that Dugu City was back and greeted him eagerly. She glanced at Feng Aotian, "His consciousness is clear, not as serious as I imagined."

"That's good."

Dugu Cheng let out a breath and looked at Feng Aotians bandaged head, "The wound needs extra attention. If you need anything, just speak up."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness. With Ah Xi taking care of me, my injury is no longer a problem."

Feng Aotien's voice was filled with relief. When he woke up and saw Feng Lingxi by his side, Feng Aotien felt the warmth of being cared for for the first time. He had never thought that his most disliked daughter would be by his side when he needed care the most. In that instant, Feng Aotien truly regretted everything he had done to Xi'er in the past.

If he hadn't been blinded by hatred back then, how could he have missed such a good daughter Now he wants to hear Feng Lingxi call him "father," but that will never be possible.

However, being able to be with her and help her is already enough for Feng Aotian.

獨孤城坐下來，“剛剛進宮，皇上還特地吩咐本王讓人好好照顧將軍，有什麼需要就儘管提。”

Feng Aotian sighed, "Things have come to this. My wife died suddenly. I just want to give her a proper burial. She's been with me my whole life and it wasn't easy."

"This is natural, Your Majesty will have it arranged properly. Besides, Your Majesty has already notified Yi Xuan to come back, he should be here soon."

Feng Yixuan's business after entering the merchant world was quite successful. As he didn't want the wealth of the General's Mansion, he partnered with Tian Xiaomǐ to do business together. The money they earned was not inferior to the salary of a General in the military, which was truly enviable.

“I hope Regent King can talk to Yi Xuan more, and let him and Xiaomi be careful when they are outside. The situation is unstable now, so please ask them to be cautious.” Feng Aotian held Feng Ling Xi’s hand, his eyes pleading, “And Yu Mo, please take care of him for me.”

Feng Aotian's words made Feng Lingxi's heart ache. When it came to Yu Mo, she really wanted to tell Feng Aotian to be better to him, at least to let Yu Mo feel his father's love.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!. She weakly pulled at her lips, "Your Majesty, farewell.""This servant will see the Empress off."Xiao Li received the queen's hint and immediately said, "Feng Yu Xi also wanted to find a chance to as...
