Chapter 1607: A Lifetime Together 15

'll go make medicine for Mother again."Shutai didn't stop her. Watching her leave, she took Yao Wan Ying's hand, "Wan Ying, don't you think we should tell Cheng'er that your daughter isn't very clear-...He doesn't owe me.

Tao Su nodded, “I know, Lu Ge told me.”

Lu Nian looked at Tao Su's gaze on his younger sister, and coughed twice, "Sister, I plan to keep Tao Su by my side. He is intelligent, quick to learn, and very capable. Are you willing to let him go"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Big brother, Tao Su is my friend. If he is willing, I respect his choice." She didn't want Tao Su to misunderstand her; she had always treated him as a friend, not a servant.

Tao Su nodded, "I want to learn some business ways from Big Brother Lu and make a living."

"Rest assured, the Lu family is so big, it wouldn't mistreat you." Lu Nianshuang smiled, seeing Tao Su nod, she couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.

"Sister, where is the Crown Prince Why isn't he with you"

Lu Nian quickly changed the subject, watching Tao Su's intense gaze fixed on her sister. She was afraid her sister would notice Tao Su's change towards her. However, Feng Lingxi seemed indifferent to any man besides Du Gucheng. She ignored Tao Su's burning stare and answered seriously, "He has something to do, so I came to find Tao Su and discuss this matter with him."

"Xiaofeng, if you need help, just speak up. Although I don't know if I can be of assistance, I will definitely do my best."

Thanks!

Feng Lingxi bid farewell, it was getting late. After saying a few words to Lu Nian, she took the food box and went back.

"Tao Su, can you please restrain your gaze"

Lu Nian reached out and waved in front of Tao Su's face, "Like this, what if Xi'er finds out, it will be even more awkward to get along later."

"Don't worry, Brother Lu. I'll treat her like a sister. It's just too bad that I only realized my feelings for her too late. If I had noticed sooner, I might have had a chance."

Lu Nian sighed, "You have a head like wood. If you had discovered your feelings for Xi'er when you were in Xigu Kingdom, there might still be some hope. But Xi'er is just like that, once she sets her heart on someone, she will wholeheartedly devote herself to them and it's very difficult to get in between. Just look at Huangfu Qingyun, wasn't he good to Xi'er He was sincere and gave his all, yet in the end, Xi'er still locked her heart, loving only Dugu Cheng."

"This shows that Xiaofeng is worthy, and the fact that Chen Wang can capture Xiaofeng's heart also shows his ability. I only feel happy for Xiaofeng."

Lu Nian couldn't help but applaud. He really didn't understand these men who were attracted to Xi'er. He truly couldn't see what charm his sister possessed. Anyway, even if she wasn't his sister, he wouldn't like her like that.

He likes someone who is more submissive, gentle, and cute. Ideally, someone who is clingy, admires him, and...

Lu Nian's mind had a picture, and quickly threw it away, scaring himself with cold sweat. What was he thinking It seemed that being single for too long really made his thoughts scary.

Tao Su glanced at Lu Nian, a faint smile playing on his lips. He didn't speak. Xiao Feng's goodness is something only those who understand truly know. It's something that only someone in love can comprehend.

Feng Lingxi sneezed several times in a row, feeling like someone was talking about her behind her back.

獨孤城 went to the prime minister's residence today and hasn't returned yet. This courtyard is so quiet, it seems like there's only her here. Even her breath sounds like the only sound in this place.

"Our Lord."

A figure walked out from the shadows, kneeling on one knee. "Shadow Eight has something to report."

"Haku, wake up."

Feng Ling Xi stepped forward and helped Ying Ba up, looking at the veil on her face, "What's wrong"

"Yingba knows where Xiao Li is."

"Where"

Feng Lingxi, hearing Xiaoli's words, became tense all over. Her heart pounded wildly, and she was too excited to put it into words.

"In the chief's courtyard."

Feng Lingxi was shocked, "You mean the house across the street"

Ying nodded, "It seems different now."

Feng Ling Xi's heart felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over it, "What do you mean" Had Xiao Li already changed Was she no longer the Xiao Li she used to know

"Yingba couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something about her was different. Her whole demeanor was cold from start to finish. The Holy Lord should be careful when he sees her next time."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, turning cold. Could it be that Xiaoli had been taken somewhere and made to endure things beyond the comprehension of ordinary people these past years

When she arrives, she will definitely want to find out what happened.

"I've burned the body of my beloved, leaving no trace. Holy Lord, Yumeji bows out."

Yingba quickly vanished into the shadows, just like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Feng Lingxi stared at the house opposite, wanting several times to rush over and see what Xiaoli had become. But she held back, afraid that if she went, she would meet Xiaoli and expose her plan. A hasty act could ruin everything.

After dark, Dugu City hadn't returned. Luo Li and Li Wu Yan also hadn't come over. Feng Ling Xi spent the time in anxious waiting, not even eating dinner. She had never been so eager to see Luo Li before.

He said, today he will come, the third day's antidote, he doesn't take medicine, his poison can't be cured, he will definitely come.

It was late at night, but Luo Li still hadn't returned. Dugu Cheng also wasn't back. The steward came to report that Dugu Cheng had sent word saying he might not be able to return tonight and asked her not to wait for him. Feng Ling Xi knew that Dugu Cheng was safe, so she didn't think too much about it, but she anxiously waited for Luo Li. She wanted an explanation, a clear answer. What happened to her little Li

Night, the silence was like water, Feng Lingxi sat in the courtyard, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She thought, it was so late, Luoli wouldn't come, but she still didn't want to give up. What if Luoli just finished her busy work

Feng Ling Xi waited until three o'clock in the morning. She really wanted to climb over the wall and go to Luo Li to see what was happening, but when she thought of Luo Li’s warning, she endured it. She just kept watch until dawn before returning home to sleep.

In the palace, Dugu City donned armor and wielded a long sword as he led the Imperial Guards to encircle the Golden Luan Hall. The King of Yu and the Empress Dowager wore grim expressions, their eyes filled with fury as they gazed upon Dugu City at the forefront.

"Prince Chen, are you trying to rebel"

The Empress Dowager roared with anger, but the Prime Minister pulled out an imperial edict and read aloud: "By Heaven's Mandate, the Emperor decrees that because I am unwell, I bestow upon Prince Chen the title of 'Regent Prince,' to handle all matters of state in my stead. Thus decreed!"

"Your Majesty, Long Live the Regent!"

The Chancellor spoke, and the officials who supported him immediately followed suit, shouting, "Long live the Regent King! Long live the Regent King! Long live the Regent King!"

The Empress Dowager's face was ashen, pointing at Dugu City. "This imperial edict is not valid! The Emperor is gravely ill, how could there be an imperial edict This was stolen by the Prime Minister, I do not recognize this edict!"

"The Empress Dowager is right, these past few days she has been taking care of the Emperor day and night, and hasn't heard the Emperor issue any decree. This imperial edict is fake."

The King addressed the court, supporting the Empress Dowager. The officials loyal to the King and Empress Dowager immediately protested, leading to a disagreement and heated argument between the two sides.

"Whether this imperial edict is true or false, we just need to ask the Emperor. As long as the Empress Dowager allows us to meet the Emperor, we will naturally know."

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, Dugu City took out the Binghu Fu from his bosom and held it up. "The Binghu Fu is here, all soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, listen to my command! Immediately go to Weiyang Palace to protect the imperial family and stop anyone who tries to interfere!"e would expect from someone addressing a princess. However, Wind Lingxi has gotten used to it. After all, she promised Pasha to take care of her and wouldn't hold these things against her.Your father...
