Chapter 316: Seizing Power 71

ntity was special and Empress Dowager Cen had her own thoughts about her."Later, I would like to go to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers. Would it be possible for Fourth Royal Wife to accompan...Dugu Cheng panicked upon hearing Xi'er's words and hurriedly explained, "Xi'er, let me explain. I made a bet with Huangfu Qingyun out of necessity. He has an engagement with you, he likes you, and he saved your life. When I bet against him, my heart was filled with a million disapprovals."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, "If you disagree, then aren't you agreeing"

"Xier..."

獨孤城愣住了,看著風淩兮那神韻,欣喜地抓住她的雙臂,“兮兒,你想起來了,你恢複記憶了。”

Feng Ling Xi pushed him away, "What are you talking about When did I recover my memory"

But, “You just…” The cold snort held a presence that was too reminiscent of the previous Xi'er.

Wind Ling gave him a withering look. "I'm not stupid, you think you and Qingyun could hide this from me"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong."

Du Gu Cheng hurriedly apologized, his eyes still fixed on Feng Ling Xi's, trying to find something different in her gaze, but he still couldn't detect it.

Feng Ling Xi, having eaten her fill, glanced outside the door. "Where's Xiao Li"

"Your mother took her away."

Feng Lingxi got up, "I'm going to find Mother."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly got up and chased after her, "Xi'er, why don't I accompany you I don't feel safe if you go alone. Yao Feifei might harm you, and it's too dangerous for you to take Xiao Li with you."

The prince of Gallo is here, if something really happens, Xi'er will be in danger.

"If I took you out, would Yao Feifei still be stupid enough to fall for it after just being cheated"

Feng Ling Xi's words stunned Du Gu Cheng. This tone of voice was exactly what his princess would say. He felt more and more that Xi Er had recovered her memory, but why wouldn't she admit it

"Xier, are you sure you haven't recovered your memory"

"What does that mean"

Feng Lingxi pretended not to understand and looked at him, "Why do you keep asking me if I've recovered my memory Do you want me to recover my memory Then help me recover my memory!"

"No, I just feel like the way you're speaking now is kind of similar to how you used to."

Feng Lingxi glared at him, "You dragged me to jump off a cliff, and now you want me to talk to you nicely"

Originally, Xia'er's fiery temper was due to the incident of jumping off the cliff. I thought she had recovered her memory.

It seems like I'm really going to be scolded to death by Xi'er this time.

獨孤城 rushed over and grabbed her hand, slapping it against his own face.

Feng Lingxi was startled by his movement and quickly withdrew her hand, "Dugu City, what are you doing Let go."

"Xier, you hit me, please don't be angry."

Feng Lingxi glared at him, "Do you think I wouldn't be angry if you hit me"

"What do you want to do then"

Du Gu Cheng was upset, he felt uncomfortable in his heart seeing her like this.

"Don't follow me, I need to cool down before I can reason with you."

After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she left without looking back, leaving you to use me as a bet. She said if she didn't deal with him properly, she wouldn't be Feng Lingxi.

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Lingxi's departing figure, his face darkening.

"Ye Xi."

Ye Xi was called over, and hurried forward. Looking at the king's face that was as dark as charcoal, she forced a smile. "Your Highness, did you have a quarrel with the princess"

"Find an excuse to follow Xi'er."

Ye Xi's legs went weak, and she almost fell. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. "Your Highness, aren't you sending me to my death You know the Duchess' temper. If I go with you, I'm afraid I won't see the sun tomorrow."

"Won't you find a reason to follow Xiaoli"

Dugu Cheng gave him a withering look, as if to say, "Go ahead and go, even if you don't want to, you have to." Ye Xi swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

"My lord, next spring, remember to burn some paper money for your subordinate."

After saying that, he left with the bearing of a hero who will never return.

"Mother."

When Yao Wan'ying heard Feng Lingxi's voice, she hurriedly told Xiao Li to get up. Xiao Li wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, her eyes still red. Seeing that the princess had arrived, she quickly stepped aside, trying her best not to let the princess see that she had cried.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you"

Feng Lingxi saw Xiao Li's red-rimmed eyes at a glance and immediately pulled her aside to ask.

Xiao Li shook her head, “I’m fine.”

Feng Lingxi turned her head and looked at her mother, frowning and asking, "Mother, did you scold Xiaoli"

"Miss, madam did not scold me. I am just moved by the scenery and crying."

Yao Wanying nodded, hearing her daughter speak about her, a pang of sadness filled her heart. She knew Xi'er felt distant towards her, and it was her fault. She owed her too much, but she didn't blame her.

"Yes, slave girl because I did not protect the young mistress well, and mistress has taken the blame. Mistress asked about the young mistress' past events, that is why the slave girl cries."

"Xiao Li, you didn't tell me this and I almost forgot! You actually lied to me. You used to be my maid, and you actually lied to me. If it weren't for Du Gu Cheng telling me, I would still be kept in the dark."

Xiaoli knelt before Feng Lingxi with a thump, tears streaming down her face.

"Miss, it is my fault. I should not have deceived you. But at that time, I was truly afraid to reveal myself to you. I was worried..."

"Little Li, I remember you said once that you would be a princess. To be honest, are you talking about me being your prince"

Feng Ling Xi's words caused Yao Wan Ying's face to change as well. Could it be that Xi Er had guessed it

"Miss..."

Feng Lingxi saw Xiaoli's frightened expression and thought that she hadn't told her about recovering her memory yet, so she decided to drop it.

"Forgive me for taking you shopping."

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, quickly wiping away her tears, "This servant obeys."

"Xi'er, take this money and buy whatever you want."

Yao Wan'ying gave Feng Lingxi a bag of silver, and Feng Lingxi thanked her and left.

"Strange, Xi'er's tone of voice is so similar to before. Could it be that she has recovered her memories"

But if his memory was recovered, why would he ask Xiao Li why she used to serve the Princess

Yao Wan-ying rubbed her temples, a real headache.

Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li out of the mansion. Seeing Ye Xi standing at the door, Feng Lingxi stared at him. Ye Xi hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, "Wang... Miss Lin."

"What's Wang"

Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi, "Did your lord ask you to follow me"

Yexi's face changed drastically. Just as she was about to speak, she met the Queen's gaze and hurriedly said, "No, my subordinate is just planning to go out. I don't know where Miss Lin is going"

"I went shopping..."

"Your subordinate is also shopping, why don't we go together"

Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi smiling and sweating.

"I might go shopping, and it might not be on your way."

"Go to the market and buy some things."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Ye Xi's cold sweat on her forehead. Was she frightened

Even in this sweltering heat, there was more sweat on his forehead.

"Xiao Li, he gave it to you."

Feng Lingxi left a sentence behind and walked out. Ye Xi excitedly followed, but Xiao Li stopped her, "Can't you see what the princess means You should stay here."soldiers to move everything from Zhou Mu's place. Looking at the increasingly empty cave, he said, "Xi'er, find a way to seal this place.""It's collapsed."Zhou Mu gave Dugu Cheng a glance. "It's not a...
