Chapter 1137: Ghost Saint Country 98
ly find her."The Fourth Royal Wife, I'm sure your dancing skills will come easily. As the most beautiful woman in the capital, your grace would certainly add luster to the Empress Dowager's birthday b..."Feng Ling Xi was poisoned and fell into a coma. When did this happen" Huangfu Qingyun frowned, how could he not know about this
"My Lord, it was about ten days ago."
"So that's the day she was kidnapped, isn't it"
Seeing the nod from the servant, Huangfu Qingyun cast a puzzled glance at Wan'er. Could it be that this child sensed Feng Lingxi's state, which is why she remained silent Impossible, how could a child of her age understand such things.
A two-year-old child, whose mind is not yet developed.
"Where is Dugu City now"
"He should arrive tomorrow. He only brought a few attendants this time, but my subordinates have heard that Feng Lingxi's brother has come with an army. If they don't hand over this girl, I'm afraid there will be war."
"Declare war" Huangfu Qingyun scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain, "Would this palace be afraid of him"
"Your Highness, fifty thousand troops are no small number. Moreover, my subordinate also heard that Bai Mo Bai, whom Feng Ling Xi had helped before, is also aware of this matter."
"Who is Bai Mo Bai" Huangpu Qingyun wondered, he had never heard of this person.
"This subordinate isn't too sure either, it seems to be the emperor of some small country."
Upon hearing of the small nation, Huángfǔ Qīngyún let out a cold snort. "Since it's just the emperor of a small country, this palace wouldn't fear him."
"Your Highness, the Empress has arrived."
Footsteps echoed from outside the door. Huangfu Qingyun saw her mother-in-law walking in and quickly stepped forward to greet her. The empress's gaze fell on Wan'er, her expression complex. This child had grown so much.
Back then, when she was just a few months old, now she's chubby and can already walk.
"Yun'er, is this Feng Lingxi's daughter"
Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Wan'er and nodded, "This son has brought her here. Since Feng Lingxi kidnapped this palace's woman, this palace will make her regret it."
"This..."
The Empress, seeing his furious expression, pulled Hou Fangqingyun down to sit beside her and dismissed the crowd.
"Yun'er, your mother heard from your father emperor that this time the abduction of the crown princess was not Feng Lingxi, but someone else. During the time when the crown princess had an accident, Feng Lingxi went to the Ghost Saint Country to save this girl, she didn't appear at all. It seems we misunderstood her."
"Misunderstanding"
Huangfu Qingyun clenched his fists, the anger in his eyes made the Empress feel embarrassed. If Yun'er remembered Feng Lingxi and knew that she had kidnapped her daughter now, who knows what she would do.
The emperor has always remembered Feng Lingxi's mother. Although Feng Lingxi asked Yun'er to remain unmarried for many years, Yun'er now has someone he likes. As the emperor said, it is best to investigate everything thoroughly to avoid causing a war between the two countries.
The name of this Lone City War God is not undeserved. If a real war broke out between the two countries, they would undoubtedly be defeated.
"Mother, you didn't say it like this to your son before, did you Was it Father who forced you..."
Before Huangfu Qingyun could finish his words, the Empress interrupted him, "Of course not. Your father emperor only found out about Feng Lingxi's whereabouts during that time, coupled with the empress dowager's investigation, Feng Lingxi did have no time. Besides, this time Feng Lingxi was poisoned and miscarried, almost costing her her life. If she really had such ability, how could she allow herself to fall into such a predicament"
The Empress still didn't believe him and continued, "Your father has always disliked war. If this truly leads to a war between the two nations, I'm afraid things won't end so well."
Houfu Qingyun remained silent for a moment, then said, "This matter, this son will investigate clearly. As for her..."
The Empress hurried forward and pulled Wan'er to her side, "This child is entrusted to me."
"Mother, you don't like this girl, do you Keeping her by your side will only add to your troubles. Why not let her stay with me instead" Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Wan'er, his cold eyes making the Empress uneasy.
"Tomorrow Dugu City should arrive. If we don't want to start a war, he has to show his sincerity. Once he gets here, wanting to take him away won't be so easy."
Upon hearing this, the Empress's face paled. She needed to inform the Emperor; Dugu City was arriving tomorrow. This matter absolutely had to be resolved. Otherwise, they would truly have a falling out, and with this war, it might take several years for Aurous Summer to recover.
"Yun'er, Mother will be coming with Wan'er tomorrow. Dugu Cheng is also coming first to the palace. This child seems quite frightened. Mother will take her back to calm down first so that when Dugu Cheng arrives, she won't say something inappropriate."
Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at Wǎn'ěr. This child, besides calling "aunt," couldn't say anything else. What could she possibly say
Since the Empress Dowager insists on taking her, then take her. This son still has one here.
Hearing about another one, the queen was in terrible pain just thinking about that woman.
She had someone look into it, and that woman is the wife of Feng Yixuan, the younger brother of Feng Lingxi. Before this, Feng Lingxi and Feng Yixuan were enemies, but after some unknown means, Feng Yixuan followed Feng Lingxi and stayed in Linxi County. Now that Feng Lingxi's siblings are in their hands, it will be difficult to deal with.
"Yun'er, this palace heard that woman had a miscarriage on the way. Is it true"
"Indeed, this is the case, but my son has already had someone treat him, and he is out of danger."
Huangfu Qingyun's words were light and airy, as if this small miscarriage wasn't a big deal. But in the empress's eyes, it was far from that. Her heart was in turmoil, filled with worry.
Feng Lingxi's younger siblings were harmed to the point of miscarriage by them, losing their lives. Feng Lingxi wouldn't stand for this.
"Nanny Li, please have the imperial physician from the palace come and treat that lady. Make sure to take good care of her health."
The Empress spoke, instructing Huanghou Qingyun.
"Don't cause any more trouble, your father will speak to Dugu City himself."
Huangfu Qingyun responded, saying to the empress that even if she had lost her memory, he still loved and respected her dearly.
The Empress led Wan'er away, her mind filled with worry as she thought about the Emperor's instructions.
Dugu Cheng led Feng Yixuan and the others to Huaxia Dynasty the next day. Upon learning of their arrival, the emperor personally sent someone to escort them to the palace. As Dugu Cheng was originally looking for Wan'er, and she was in their hands, he did not refuse and followed them into the palace.
"Crown Prince, this was truly a misunderstanding."
During the scorching summer, when the emperor was chatting with Dugu City, he learned the truth and felt ashamed. He hoped to handle this matter properly so that the two countries wouldn't go to war because of it.
"Prince Huangfu kidnapped my daughter and sisters-in-law. Now, with just a misunderstanding, Your Majesty thinks this can be settled"
Dugu City's voice wasn't loud or soft, just right for all the officials in the Xia Dynasty to hear. Facing Dugu City, even though they had a hundred grievances, they didn't dare to argue in the current situation. This Dugu City was now like a lion that could wake up at any time. If he were careless, it would bring war to the Xia Dynasty.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger. This matter, I truly haven't been able to investigate clearly. Yun'er taking away Wan'er and your younger sisters, this is also our fault. Now that things have come to this, I don't know how to appease everyone.".At least you know the Emperor is truly good to the Empress."The Empress may command."Feng Lingxi remained as still as ever, her expression unchanged. Her voice was respectful.“After I returned to the...
