Chapter 792 Imprisonment 52
triumph flashed across Luo Juzhou's eyes."Miss Luo, can you clearly see the blue mark on my wrist" Feng Lingxi suddenly looked at her. A flash of panic crossed Luo Juzhou's eyes, and then she quickly...Feng Ling Xi rarely had such a deep impression of someone. Chu Xi's care for her those days was like...
Feng Lingxi pondered seriously for a while, the blurry figures in her mind overlapped, and suddenly her eyes widened, meeting Dugu Cheng's gaze, which startled him.
"Xier, what's wrong"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, suddenly reached out to cover his eyes, only staring at his eyes. After a while, Feng Lingxi couldn't see the coldness in Dugu City's eyes overlapping with Lou Zhu's, but the feeling Chu Xi gave him was really too similar to Ye Xi.
Feng Lingxi shook her head. What was going on Why did she always put them together Maybe it wasn't like that after all
"It's nothing, I just feel like some things are unclear and I don't want to figure them out."
"Here, have some," Feng Ling Xi said as she passed a dish to Du Gu Cheng.
Dugu Cheng responded with a smile, watching the contemplation in Xi'er's eyes. He reached out and gently tapped her head. "You're not even paying attention while eating, be careful you get a stomachache."
Feng Lingxi nodded, stopped thinking too much, and told herself that if Dugucheng was really the master of Tianxianglou, he would definitely tell her. There was no reason to hide it from her. Besides, their eyes didn't seem right. Perhaps it was just her imagination.
After dinner, Feng Lingxi and Dugu City returned to the palace and saw a carriage at the gate. They asked around and found out it belonged to General Feng.
"The old general is still very kind to you."
Dugu City looked at Xi'er's tangled face, "Your personality is like his."
"Du Gucheng, the Imperial General who defended the nation, is something the Empress hasn't mentioned again. Does Feng Aotian still cling to it"
Feng Lingxi thought about this matter, yesterday entered the palace, the Empress Dowager did not mention this matter, perhaps, this matter just passed like this.
"The old General Feng is back, Feng Aotien doesn't dare to mention it anymore, even if he were to be given a title, nothing would change."
Feng Lingxi thought about it, it made sense. General Feng and the previous emperor personally led troops in campaigns north and south. If they were truly going to bestow an imperial title, it would be General Feng who deserved it.
Two people walked into the front hall. Feng Cangkai saw Feng Lingxi and Dugu City return, so he hurriedly got up and beckoned to Feng Lingxi, "Girl, you're back."
Feng Lingxi, hearing General Feng's title, smiled awkwardly. Since she and Feng Aotian severed their father-daughter relationship, she had not returned to the General's Mansion. She still struggled with her feelings towards this grandfather. She wanted to acknowledge him as family, but also hesitated.
"Well, aren't you willing to acknowledge me as your grandfather again"
Feng Cangkai saw through her thoughts. The smile on his aged face disappeared, and he sighed.
“Fine, I know your stance on the Feng family, and there's not much to say.”
"No, I..."
Feng Ling Xi's words that were about to reach her lips were swallowed back, and after a long while she said, "I acknowledge you, but I don't want to return to the Feng family."
"Why do you say you don't want to go back to the Feng family This Feng family is mine or that bastard Feng Aotien's" Wind Cangkai heard her words, his heart ached terribly. He specially went to ask, and only then did he know that Xi'er had no one she cared about in the Feng family since childhood. She didn't want to go back, and he could understand.
But she was his granddaughter after all, the eldest daughter of the Feng family.
Feng Lingxi looked at General Feng's angry expression, wanting to comfort him but didn't know what to say. She truly didn't want to return to the General's Manor, harboring a deep-seated aversion to it from the bottom of her heart.
She had wasted far too much time at the General's residence, and she didn't want to return to see their hypocritical expressions. She didn't want to waste any more time with them or engage in pointless interactions.
"Grandpa, I acknowledge you as my grandfather, but I hope you can understand me. I truly don't want to go back to the General's Mansion." Feng Lingxi thought about what Feng Yu Xi had told her yesterday, and after some deliberation, she decided it was best to let it go.
These past few days have been unusually peaceful and comfortable. There's really no need to get involved in their petty squabbles.
"Xier, General Feng also feels sorry for you. Don't think too much about it. Now that General Feng is supporting you, when you go back, have a meal. If you don't like it, come back early."
Feng Lingxi nodded, watching General Feng get so angry that he couldn't even speak. He looked helpless.
"Xier, this king will accompany you."
Dugu Cheng lightly patted her back, motioning for her not to worry.
“Come back, Grandpa promises you that no one will dare to bully you or speak ill of you.” Feng Cangkai assured, he just wanted Xi'er to have a home, to let her know that he was her support. This Feng family rarely had a descendant who satisfied him, he stayed in the capital, if she didn't even go back to the General's Mansion, what meaning did his stay in the capital hold
"Hmm."
Feng Ling Xi's mood was noticeably low. When she mentioned General Manor, she couldn't seem to cheer up.
"Your Highness, Young Master Yu Mo has sent a letter."
Little Li entered with the letter and, seeing Tai Fei Shu and the old general present, hurriedly bowed to them in turn.
Feng Lingxi took the letter, opened it, and looked at the contents. Her eyes instantly turned cold, her fists clenched.
"Damn it!"
Dugu Cheng took the letter and read its contents, soothingly saying, "Xi'er, let's first report this matter to the Emperor and let him decide."
"What happened"
The Empress Dowager and the aged General looked at each other, their faces full of bewilderment as they watched the couple's rage.
"Dugu Xiu rebelled, leading the Dan Liao tribe to attack the city. Yu Mo and General Li tried to persuade him, but to no avail. They asked how to deal with this." Dugu Cheng answered, handing them a letter.
"This matter should still be reported to the Emperor immediately so that he can handle it."
Dugu Cheng responded, "This son will enter the palace now."
Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of worry. This damned Dugu Xiu, after going around in circles, had actually colluded with the Dan Liao tribe again. She really regretted leaving Yu Mo there, fearing he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Mother, I am a little worried about Yumo. I want to go out for a while."
"Xi'er, be careful and come back early."
Feng Lingxi nodded and hurriedly said to Xiao Li, "Change your clothes and leave the city."
Wind Cang Kai saw her about to leave, and looked at Shu Taifei in confusion, "Who is this Yu Mo"
“He is the youngest of the Feng family, just like He Xi'er. They share a similar fate. He Xi’er feels sorry for him and keeps him by her side, treating him like a sibling.” Shutai explained what she knew about Feng Yumo. Feng Cangkai listened, his old face growing even darker.
"I'm so infuriated! I never expected this upon my return home. This son of mine, he's completely spoiled his concubines and neglected his wife. He's brought shame upon the Feng family!"
A good home, ruined by that scoundrel.
Feng Cangkai bowed to Shu Taifei and said, "Shu Taifei, I shall return first."
The Shutai Imperial Consort instructed him a few words, and General Feng then left.
Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li had just left the city when they were targeted. All the way, Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li galloped to the nearest town, entered an inn, and went upstairs. After they went up, all the tails following them were eliminated by people emerging from the shadows.
"See if you can find out their identities. Also, send word to Yao Chu immediately and have him bring people to protect Yu Mo. Additionally, inform the Yao clan in Dan Liao to be on guard and avoid being discovered."y glanced at the steward, who hastily averted his gaze and pretended to be nonchalant as he directed the servants. His nervousness was evident."Go and get him."Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, a smile app...
