Chapter 258: Seizing Power 12

cloak on her, and then she and Feng Lingxi returned to the front hall. When everyone saw her, they looked at the cloak on Feng Lingxi's body, but they didn't feel too much, they were just curious abo..."Whatever he's thinking, as long as it benefits us, that's all that matters."

Ye Xi replied, "Then this subordinate will now inform the Lord so that he won't worry not knowing the situation."

General Zhang, please send someone to inform the King about the current situation and let Ye Xi have a good rest.

Feng Lingxi ordered, Ye Xi had just returned, she told him to rest for a while, there were more important things for him to do later.

"My Queen, Ye Xi can."

Ye Xi saw Feng Ling Xi and sent someone else over, rushing forward in a hurry, but was stopped by Feng Ling Xi.

"You've just returned, so rest well first. When the lord returns, there will be important matters for you to attend to. Xiao Li, take him down to rest."

Feng Lingxi ordered, Ye Xi wanted to say something else, but Xiao Li pulled him away.

"Do as the Queen commands."

Ye Xi glanced at Xiao Li, her eyes full of worry, "The King asked me to come back just to help the Princess. Now that the Princess is like this, it seems I'm a bit superfluous."

“Nonsense, if you’re being fussy, wouldn’t that make all of us fussy The Princess just wants you to rest properly. There are more important things waiting for you later. Ye Xi, listen to the Princess, you won’t regret it. We’ve been doing fine these past few days thanks to her arrangements, haven't we”

Ye Xi looked at the orderly painting of thorny vines in Linxi County and was a little surprised. She hurriedly asked, "What has Your Highness been doing this time Why does it feel like things here have changed quite a bit"

Xiao Li simply told him some things, naturally not mentioning the gunpowder. She also kept the kite a secret, because without the princess's permission, these things couldn't be said, even to Ye Xi.

When Dugu Xiu and the Galo Kingdom went to war, the surroundings were engulfed in flames. Feng Lingxi ordered General Zhang to guard the mountain pass entrance, not participating in the battle and preventing soldiers from both countries from easily mixing and clashing, closely watching the situation of the two armies' conflict.

"Are you awake"

Feng Ling Xi gave Bi Xiang a new medicine, watching as Bi Xiang woke up. She walked over and helped her sit down. Bi Xiang was so excited she grabbed Feng Ling Xi's hand and said eagerly, "Xi Er, why haven't you left yet I didn't tell you to..."

"Arsenic, don't get agitated. The situation isn't as bad as you think. Galuo and Dugu Xiu are at war, it's been going on for two days now. We're safe here, they can't possibly reach us."

"What are you saying Did Dugu Xiu and the Gallo Kingdom get into a fight What happened How could they have fought"

"Arsenic's face was full of disbelief, and he hurriedly asked, “How did the battle go Who won”

"The battle is not yet over, but no matter who wins or loses, attacking Linxi County will be impossible. So you don't have to worry, just rest and recover here comfortably."

Arsenic struggled to get up, his eyes full of murderous intent. “I can’t let Dugu Xiu die at someone else’s hands; he can only be killed by me,”

"Do you want to save him"

Feng Ling Xi coldly asked, "Or are you saying you want to go kill him now"

Arsenic loosened her grip, watching Feng Lingxi, "I just wanted to kill him, I..."

Feng Lingxi took her hand, "Rest and heal well. Don't worry about the rest, understand"

Arsenic nodded, "I'll do what you say, but if you hear news about Dugu Xiu, tell me right away. I don't want him to die at the hands of others, he owes me. I have to kill him myself to get revenge."

"Good."

Feng Ling Xi patted her head and watched as she lay down. She didn't know what had happened between Bi Xiang and Du Gu Xiu during the time Bi Xiang left, but she could tell that she cared about Du Gu Xiu. Therefore, Du Gu Xiu's life or death was very important to her.

But, with her current appearance, can she even fight back

Feng Lingxi's mood was slightly heavy. Looking at Pi Xiang lying there, her eyes gazed out the window, her lost expression complex and troubled.

"Your Highness, the King is back."

Outside the door, Xiao Li's voice came. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly got up and went out. Seeing Dugu Cheng returning in a dusty rush, her eyes moistened, and her heart felt heavy with distress.

He was back. She had thought about staying here, if he wasn't able to make it back, she would wage war against Gallo Kingdom herself. If something happened to her, would she never see him again Now that she saw him standing before her, Feng Lingxi felt as if she were in a dream.

"Xier."

Dugu Cheng walked in front of her, reaching out to touch her cheek. In such a short time, Xi'er had lost weight, becoming even more slender, and the dark circles under her eyes made his heart ache.

"I am here."

Feng Lingxi charged towards Dugu City with a smile, but tears streamed down her eye corners uncontrollably. Seeing this, Dugu City felt heartache and reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes, "Crying"

"No, I'm happy."

Feng Ling xi rushed into his arms, sniffing the scent on him was the only way she could rest assured he had returned. She thought it would be a few more days before she could see him again. The fact that he was back eased the weight from her heart.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince sent a messenger to request an audience with Her Royal Highness."

"Looking for me"

Feng Lingxi let go of Dugucheng and watched the scout with the letter in his hand, motioning him to come closer.

"What did he ask you to do"

獨孤城湊上前，想要看看信上寫了什麼，風淩兮將信給他看，冷笑地說，“他倒是有臉跟我們借兵，還拿出兄弟情懷這樣的話來，你說可不可笑？我和他，哪來的兄弟情懷，趁著你不在，當我傻子嗎？”

Dugu Cheng listened to Feng Lingxi recount Dugu Xiu's transgressions, tossing the letter aside. "He probably doesn't know that this king has returned, which is why he thought of coming here to borrow troops."

"He did say, as long as I was willing to lend troops, he would tell Dugu Yan that I had been successful in lending troops, and have my crime of poisoning the previous emperor forgiven. How ridiculous! If I truly lent him troops, wouldn't I be admitting that I actually poisoned the previous emperor, confirming my guilt Dugu Xiu is truly bold to say such things."

獨孤城 looked at Feng Lingxi's exasperated expression, quite adorable.

"Xier, we won't lend him our troops. If he suffers defeat, it's his own doing and has nothing to do with us. Although we are also part of the Yuan Dynasty, we are soldiers loyal to our father emperor."

Wind Ling turned to look at Dugu City, "But if we don't make a move, it's a pity for the soldiers who followed him on his expedition. I wouldn't feel sorry if Dugu Xiu died ten thousand times, but I feel sorry for those soldiers. Following him, they've met their demise for generations to come."

"Does Xier mean she wants to help"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's suppressed smile, her face full of helplessness. "I don't want to interfere with Dugu Xiu, but I feel sorry for those soldiers." These days, while she was here, the soldiers followed them, without complaint or resentment, working diligently and wholeheartedly. Even knowing they might die in Linxi County, they didn't complain; they just followed her orders and did their best. Her life was a life, and the soldiers' lives were also lives. It was because of this that she made such demands. If there was no fighting, there would be no fighting. If there was war, she would minimize the damage.oice. Feng Lingxi wanted to go over, but Dugu Cheng grabbed her arm and motioned for her not to be impulsive.It's Luo Li who came to find Wan'er. Feng Ling Xi could tell from the voice who the owner w...
