urriedly said, “I will follow Mother’s wishes.”"Xi'er, go back first. Cheng'er, stay behind. This concubine has something to ask you."Feng Lingxi bestowed blessings upon herself, "Xier bids farewell."..."Xier, can I take refuge with you"

Du Gu Cheng interrupted Feng Ling Xi's words, looking at Feng Ling Xi with painful and struggling eyes. "I don't want to be this Chen Wang anymore, I can no longer stay here."

"Why not be this King"

Feng Lingxi smiled, "How about that Are you going to give up just like that Why make it easy for her Dugu City, in front of others, you act so pitifully that everyone believes you. But here with me, you don't have to, There's no need to seek refuge with me. This world has countless Tianxiang Lou, countless connections you have, others may not know, but I, Feng Lingxi, do."

"Can this king possibly rebel"

Dugu City was seen through by Feng Lingxi, and he felt a little embarrassed. He really wanted to cling to Xi'er, so that there would be hope for reconciliation.

A cornered dog will jump over walls, and a rabbit driven to desperation will bite. Chen Wang surely knows this, doesn't he

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I can help you, but you can't give up on yourself. Why give up the position of Prince Chen Just because a woman is given to you, are you afraid There were many women forced upon you before, and I didn't see you refuse to be Prince Chen."

"But this king has never touched them, you see."

Dugu City was filled with grievance, looking at Feng Lingxi's clever mind, he really felt that it would be difficult to submit to her.

"Then what are you afraid of The Empress Dowager gave you three thousand women in the harem, as long as you don't touch them, they won't be able to force you, will they" Feng Lingxi glared at him, "Besides, with your martial arts skills, which woman would dare to force you"

Dugu Cheng pointed at her, "You, back then, wasn't this king..."

"That was an exception. I was drugged at the time, and you happened to be severely poisoned. Otherwise, I couldn't have succeeded."

"Whose the one who got injured again today"

Dugu City stared at Feng Lingxi, he was willing to let Xi'er become stronger, in this life, that was all he could wish for.

"Since you're not fighting now, ordinary people shouldn't be able to hurt you, right Unless you want them to."

" "

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of grievance, "Do you really not let me take refuge"

"No, Wan'er needs powerful enough strength to protect her."

Feng Lingxi's words left Dugu City feeling very depressed, "Isn't Tianxianglou's influence better"

"Do you want to expose your identity as the owner of Tianxianglou If you do, consider I didn't say anything. You understand better than me the difference between the nation and the martial world."

Dugu City fell silent. It turned out that Xi'er wanted to use the military forces of the Great Yuan Dynasty to control the situation. Although Tianxianglou had a considerable number of people, they were ultimately just sects from the Jianghu. Even if they were powerful, it was impossible to control an entire country.

It seems I still need to reclaim military power.

"Xi'er, if you truly desire this king to return to how things were, there is a way."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I know what you want to say. Our breakthrough is the current emperor. He is now in poor health and can't even lift his head in front of the Empress Dowager. If we can help him heal, you will become a favorite in the emperor's presence."

"But, on the condition that one person is removed."

Dugu Cheng's words were laced with murderous intent. Feng Ling Xi nodded, "You have a way"

"Slander and frame-ups, they taught me well. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, Your Majesty simply went along with the flow."

“Sounds good to me, let’s go with that.”

Dugu City nodded, "Someone has to take the blame and sacrifice. This person can't be me, nor you, so it can only be..."

"Your Highness, Prince Chen, the Prime Minister has arrived."

The steward reported, Dugu City pointed at himself, "The prime minister came here to find this king"

"Yes, someone is currently in the foyer. The servant specially came to report and requests that the Prince of Dawn come over."

"The arrival of this prime minister is truly timely."

Dugu City laughed, watching Feng Lingxi nod in agreement. "Let's go together," he said. "After all, this is Lu Fu, and you are the master of this place. Later, accompany this king in a play."

"Okay."

Ye Xi listened to the couple talking, completely baffled. He didn't understand a word they were saying.

"Prime Minister, I wonder what brings you here today"

As the master of the Lu household, Lu Nian was hosting. This chancellor wasn't a good person at all. If not for face given to Prince Chen, he wouldn't even bother greeting him.

Nan Gong Qi took a sip of tea, moistening her throat, and raised her eyes with a slight smile. "This official is mainly here today to visit Prince Chen and hear that Princess Chen is treating him."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. My body has recovered much." Du Gucheng walked into the front hall, and the Prime Minister greeted him with a smiling face. "Your Highness, Prince Chen, it's been days since we last saw each other. Your complexion has improved considerably; truly something to be happy about."

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi looked at the prime minister's fawning tone. It seemed he had realized his current predicament and the crisis he was in

"This king didn't expect Xi'er to enter the capital. This king has managed to save his life and get better. This king still wants to return to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

The Chancellor accompanied him with a smile, "Prince Chen truly loves the people like his own children. As soon as he recovered slightly, he thought of how to relieve the Emperor's worries and solve difficulties, truly worthy of Prince Chen, this official admires him."

"Sigh, I just wonder if Your Majesty would still find this frail body of mine worthy, allowing me to return to the battlefield." Dugu City's voice was filled with helplessness. "After all, these years of illness have left me so weak that even a powerless scholar could bully me."

"Your Highness, rest assured. This minister will speak well of Your Highness before the Emperor and help you achieve your wish."

"Then, thank you, Prime Minister."

The chancellor had long disliked Duke Dugong Yu. Now that Duke Dugong Yu wanted to seize military power, if he succeeded, the chancellor's position would be in jeopardy. He absolutely couldn't let this happen. The only one who could rival Duke Dugong Yu in court was Duke Dugong Cheng. This move by the chancellor was a gamble with everything he had, aiming to bring down Duke Dugong Yu.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, I would then ask that you treat His Royal Highness. If there is anything you need, please let me know and I will inform the Emperor, ensuring your requests are met."

"No need for now, but thank you for your kindness, Chancellor."

The prime minister, resembling Feng Lingxi in demeanor, bowed and said, “Then this official shall not disturb you further.”

"This king will send the Prime Minister off."

Dugu Cheng followed up and sent him to Lu Mansion's gate. The prime minister turned around and looked at Feng Lingxi who hadn't followed. He said to Dugu Cheng, "Prince Chen, the Emperor intentionally wants you to recover soon. Prince Chen mustn't disappoint the Emperor's kindness and must take good care of your body."

"Your Majesty understands, thank you for informing me. I will cooperate with the treatment and recover quickly so that I can return to the battlefield to fight for the Emperor."

The Prime Minister nodded and quickly got into the carriage and left.

"This chancellor is quite straightforward, not at all pretentious, and tells you everything."

Feng Lingxi walked out afterward, watched Dugu City staring at the back of the prime minister leaving, and retracted her gaze.

"Seems like the Emperor has begun to consider moving against Wang Yu." He didn't expect that even with his current frail body, he could make the Emperor reconsider. "Xier, this time you truly saved me."She had heard some things about the palace, but she was still not at ease. Her marriage was now official, and she was Feng Lingxi, not Princess Yao Hua anymore."Your Highness, the Empress Dowager and...
