Chapter 920: Falling Frost Flower 120

chuckled lightly, "Then I'll take that as your true intention."The food in the three princes' residences was quite good. Dugu Yu treated the Third Princess very well, and everything the Third Prince..."This staying by my side is actually of no use to me."

Feng Ling Xi recalled that over the past year, countless people had died for the Purple Star. However, since she became the Saintess, she realized that everything was different. It wasn't about having the Purple Star to open the treasure.

"But this is after all a sacred artifact of your Yao clan, useless to this Palace."

Feng Lingxi, hearing the Empress's words, couldn't help but smile.

"Perhaps only the Empress would say that Zixing is useless to you. While everyone in the world covets the treasures of the Yao clan, only the Aohua Dynasty has refrained from looking for them."

As we all know, this Yao Clan treasure does not belong to us, nor to anyone else. The reason the Yao Clan guards this treasure that everyone in the world covets is to maintain peace in the world.

The Empress looked at Feng Lingxi, "You shouldn't have told Tai-hou Suocen about the Yao clan's treasure back then. If you hadn't, people all over the world wouldn't be frantically searching for you and causing you trouble because of this treasure."

Feng Lingxi nodded, but didn't explain further.

The Empress handed the Zi Xing to her, “Since it’s a sacred object of the Yao clan, keep it well and don’t let anyone with ill intentions take it. You give this to me, I wouldn't use this thing anyway.”

Feng Lingxi held this purple star, it truly felt heavy. Keeping it, what use would it be

"These days, don't rush back to the Yao Clan. Stay in the Wild Summer for a while. Even if you and Yun'er can't become more than siblings, you are still related. Consider it as visiting your mother's family. Stay a little longer so you can keep me company."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing the empress' words, had her request to leave once again denied.

"Did Empress Dowager not consider that Xi'er might cause trouble for you and the Summer Solstice Dynasty Given my current status and circumstances, if people knew I was here, it would be detrimental to the Summer Solstice Dynasty."

The Empress smiled, "Could it be that I, the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, cannot even protect a woman"

Feng Ling xi nodded, "Then Xi'er will bother you for a few days."

The Empress nodded, watching as Emperor Feiyun walked towards them, smiling and waving.

"Yun'er, Mother just mentioned to Xi'er that she'll be staying in the palace for a while. Would you like to move in here too"

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of surprise.

"Mother, my child is not comfortable staying in the palace. It's better for her to live in my Prince's Mansion with me. The few people accompanying her will also be there; they are all my friends. Living there won't cause any gossip."

"Well, it seems my thinking wasn't thorough enough. In that case, why don't you stay at the Prince's Mansion These next few days, I'll come and chat with Xier."

The Imperial Palace and the Crown Prince's Residence in the summer were not too far apart, convenient for travel. Unlike other countries with many rules and regulations, Feng Lingxi would feel more comfortable living there.

"Well, you two chat away. Mother has a bit of business to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

The Empress watched her son look at Feng Lingxi, and recalling what Feng Lingxi had said, she still wanted to help her son. However, Feng Lingxi already had children, and she wondered if he would be able to pursue Xi'er.

"Your mother is very good to you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun, "You're not a young man anymore. If you have a girl you like, it's best to get married sooner rather than later so she doesn't worry."

Although she felt it was inappropriate, Feng Lingxi still wanted to say that she didn't want Huangpu Qingyun to put all his heart on her. She said that she wasn't suitable for him and wouldn't be with him. She hoped he could find someone who loved him wholeheartedly and live a good life.

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at her, his eyes filled with disappointment.

The girl he likes is right in front of him.

"Xi'er, can you give me a chance to take care of you"

Huangfu Qingyun took a deep breath and voiced his thoughts. Looking into Feng Lingxi's gaze, he quickly explained, "What I mean is to take care of you through childbirth. I don't have a favorite girl yet. I want to take care of you until you give birth. When you call me brother, I can't just abandon you."

Feng Lingxi looked at him hurriedly explaining, her brows furrowed.

"I still have several months before I give birth, you really don't need to worry about me..."

"It's not for you, I just think you shouldn't pressure me into getting married."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún's eyes were hurt, "Even if you can't be with me, I hope you don't urge me to get married just for my sake."

"I'm sorry."

Feng Lingxi apologized, "Then pretend I never said anything just now. I just think you shouldn't waste your time on me."

"I know."

Huangpu Qingyun forced a smile, his handsome face full of bitterness.

"I didn't mean to do anything to you. I just want to be with you, wait for you to give birth, I know you're going through a really tough time right now, I can't replace Dugu City, but I can stay by your side."

Feng Lingxi stared at Huangpu Qingyun's eager eyes, looking at him for a long while.

"Okay."

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Xiaoli saw the Princess and Huangfu Qingyun return together. She hurried forward to ask them about their whereabouts, but noticed the subtle atmosphere between them. She felt uneasy inside, worried that Huangfu Qingyun would confess his feelings to the Princess. If the Princess were truly with Huangfu Qingyun at this time, if word got out, it wouldn't be good for her reputation.

"Xiao Li, we will stay at the Prince's Residence for a few days before returning to the Yao clan."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, looking at Xiaoli's questioning eyes in her gaze, and said softly, "It's hard to refuse such a heartfelt request."

"Let me make arrangements first, and we'll set off for the Yao tribe then."

Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan, "A-Yan, you've worked hard."

Li Wuyan wasn't much different, but there seemed to be a change in his gaze towards Huangfu Qingyun.

Although Duguxing concealed his marriage to Feng Lingxi, he did so out of protection. He made such a sacrifice for her sake. If Huangfu Qingyun dared to take Feng Lingxi away at this crucial moment, then he would truly be despicable.

Huangpu Qingyun also saw Li Wu's gaze and couldn't help but feel a mix of helplessness and annoyance, but he swallowed it down nonetheless.

He likes Xi'er, it's well-known, but he has always respected her. He knows about Dugu City's affairs, but there isn't a rule that prevents him from being good to Xi'er.

A subtle shift in the atmosphere was palpable, both parties sensing the change. Unknowingly, the mood soured.

Feng Lingxi didn't feel anything about it. To her, she only hoped that during these few days, Huangfu Qingyun could clearly know that no matter whether she was with Dugu City or not, she would not be with him. She always hoped that Huangfu Qingyun could find a woman who loved him.

The Yuan Dynasty said, "Then let's pack up. We'll go down the mountain tomorrow. It's already noon now, and we wouldn't be able to make it back before dark."Although I'm eager to see Wan'er, the journey down the moun...
