Chapter 949: Transformation 23

efinitely won't like it. You should take it down."Feng Lingxi looked up at her, seeing the disdain in her eyes. She curled her lips into a smile. "You're not him, how would you know if he likes it or...Dugu Cheng nodded, thinking about Dugu Su's attitude and reaction just now. Because he seldom spoke, he had seen everything clearly from the sidelines. It was indeed different from what he usually saw in Dugu Su.

"His purpose in coming today seems to be aimed at me."

Feng Lingxi looked at the three of them, "And Huan Yue's eyes scan the surroundings at a particularly high frequency. I'm afraid she wants to see if I'm really here."

It's a pity, her eyesight wasn't good enough to see through it.

"There's one more thing. We want you to help us restore Dugu City's memories."

Luo Li looked at Li Wu Yan, "He is also very dissatisfied with Du Gu Cheng being your bodyguard. He tried to provoke dissatisfaction between Du Gu Cheng and you. Once Du Gu Cheng is dissatisfied, it means provoking the relationship between Du Gu Cheng and the Yao Clan."

"His thoughts were terrifying indeed, but unfortunately, he was unable to achieve his desires."

Li Wuyan looked at Dugu City, "I spoke harshly just now, don't mind it."

"No."

Hearing Li Wuyan apologize to him, Dugu Cheng was truly taken aback. After all, what he said was true. Even after feigning amnesia, the things he did... well, even if he was scolded harshly, it was understandable.

"You're saying this Dugu Su might be looking for A Flame, to have him treat Dugu City"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "If Ayan went out alone, would that give him an opportunity"

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, his brows furrowed. "Do you want me to lure him out, Xier"

"I just want to know the whereabouts of this Wind Spirit Jade."

She pondered, if this Dugu Su came to her looking for a way to recover the memories of Dugu City, what would happen if this Li Wu Yan went out Would he try to pull Li Wu Yan along, perhaps gaining some clues from him.

Xier wanted to find clues about the Spirit of Wind and Jade, so she should ask Empress Cen directly. Why bother with Dugu Su

"Skilled in disguise, who this wind and rain evening will transform into is hard to say. Empress Cen knows too vaguely, not clear enough for us. What Dugu Xiu knows doesn't align with what I want. If we want to know the whereabouts of Fenglingyu, either I make a move, or it's Ayan."

"Why can't it be falling away"

Dugu City was puzzled, this Luoli was the head of the Yao clan, shouldn't he be pulling him

“Compared to Luoli, who looked like she was going to tear him apart and wipe out his entire clan, Dugu Su wouldn't be this despicable. He would still cling to him even after being defeated. However, it's different with Aya. His status and identity are not comparable to Luoli's. First, Aya is a skilled physician, second, he's just a member of the Yao tribe. Stealing someone away from another clan is easier for him.”

After Feng Lingxi's analysis, Li Wuyan frowned.

"I'm not good at digging."

“I know, but Dugu Su doesn’t know that.”

Feng Lingxi gave a playful smile, looking at Li Wuyan's furrowed brows, and reminded him, "Don't forget, you are the one treating the Empress Dowager and Emperor's illnesses now. Dugu Su would be happy to have the Empress Dowager cured, wouldn't he What about Dugu Xiu getting better"

If Du Gu Xiu were to cure the Empress Dowager, she would recover, and they would give him the throne.

Initially, when Empress Cen poisoned Dugu Su, she failed to kill him. Now that there's a chance for revenge, Dugu Su wouldn't miss this opportunity. He would definitely seek out partners and persuade Li Wu Yan to stop him from finding the antidote.

Even if it can't be stopped, it will still allow some understanding of Li Wuyan, thus learning about Cen Taihou's physical condition.

"Xi'er is right, Dugu Su knows you and Luoli are in cahoots, but after all, you don't have much status or background, he would go after you."

Dugu Cheng agreed with Feng Lingxi's idea. Releasing Li Wuyan would definitely entice Dugu Su to take the bait.

"Since you don't want the throne anyway, why waste time investigating Dugu Su What does he have to do with you Besides, didn't we agree that all we need is the deaths of Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu"

Li Wu Yan was irritable, he didn't want to get involved, it was too much trouble.

"Ayan, it's not a matter of whether or not you want it now. It's that Dugu Su is watching us. This throne, not wanting it now doesn't mean we won't want it later, it just means the time hasn't come yet." Feng Lingxi's ambition in her eyes was undisguised.

"If Dugu Su becomes emperor and doesn't provoke us, we'll just let it be. But if he still wants to eliminate us, then there's no other way but to fight back. How can we allow him to slaughter us at will"

Although she didn't want to be empress, the princes of the Yuan Dynasty were all ambitious and scheming. They couldn't guarantee her safety if they kept stirring up trouble, so it was their own fault if things went wrong.

"Let's keep this under wraps and investigate discreetly. If they don't cause any trouble, we'll just let it go. But if they persist in causing problems, we'll have to deal with them."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes full of impatience.

"It's all just for Dugu City, isn't it"

Power struggles are truly pointless, they're not nearly as free and easy as the Yao clan.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, "You continue, I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest for a while."

Watching Feng Lingxi get up, Dugu City got up and followed.

"Xier, do you mind what I said to them just now"

He could tell that in the past year, Xi'er didn't care about him like she used to. He knew he had hurt her heart, even though he did it for her sake, he still let her down.

"It's all lies, nothing to care about. I'm just tired and want to rest for a while."

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li and Li Wuyan behind him, "Go find them, there's still unfinished business."

Dugu Cheng responded, watching Xi'er's departing figure, his eyes dimmed.

"Dugu Cheng, what exactly do you want to do If you truly desire the imperial throne of the Yuan Dynasty, then be decisive and eliminate them all. Stop this endless procrastination; it's exhausting for us to watch, let alone you."

Li Wuyan impatiently said, “Xi’er forgives you this time because of what you did for her, but you should know that if the danger is not removed, it will become a termite.” Most importantly, going back and forth repeatedly cannot be eradicated at its root.

"A Flame, do you want him to seize the throne"

Luo Li reminded, “Even if you really want this throne, you have to use proper means. It's always been that way since ancient times. Allowing him to kill them and take the throne would go against heaven's will. Would such a throne be any different from not having one at all”

"Your words have reached my ears, and I shall attend to the matters of court swiftly. I will take the initiative to head to Linxi County to defend the border."

This Empress and Dugu Xiu wouldn't let them live too long. Since the throne was intended for Dugu Su, he wouldn't fight for it. As long as Dugu Su didn't provoke him, this throne wouldn't be important to him anymore.

Li Wuyan got up and left. He wasn't interested in their affairs. If it weren't for Feng Lingxi wanting to come, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to follow her.

"Don't take Ah Yan's words to heart, he doesn't understand the struggle for imperial power. It's just like the infighting within the Yao Clan – where there is power, there is strife."

He was right, after a long time, it did become tiresome. It’s just that we have no choice in the matter. He wouldn't mind indulging himself and leaving, but handing over military power would mean certain death. To survive, he had to accept this.able from its former self. The loot taken by the bandits was partially distributed among the villagers and the majority handed over to Dugu City. This was a decision made after careful consideration b...
