Chapter 1245: War Clouds Rise

t want Feng Yixuan to recover Would he rather have him remain a waste than give him back to them"Though I said I would send something, since we're both here, let them wait for news."Feng Ling's foots...Feng Ling Xi looked at Li Wu Yan, seeing his cold eyes, he glanced at Luo Li, then turned to leave. She hurriedly stopped him.

"Ayan, what brings you to me"

Li Wuyan turned to look at Feng Lingxi, his expression still cold, even colder than before.

"At a loss for words."

Having finished speaking, he turned and walked away. Feng Lingxi wanted to call him back, but she held herself back.

Needless to say, if that's the case, why would she embarrass herself

Since their falling out, Li Wu Yan's attitude towards her has become increasingly cold. She still remembers the past affection they shared. Li Wu Yan was truly a friend to her, but now she doesn't know why he's changed so much. Perhaps it's because she doubted him before, and he's angry about that.

"Well, then we'd better be going."

Luo Li quickly caught up with Li Wu Yan's footsteps, "What are you doing You said you had something to ask her. Since you're here, why don't you bring it up"

When Li Wuyan reached the door, he stopped and looked at Luo Li. His handsome face was filled with suppressed anger.

That look of fury puzzled Luo Li.

"Luo Li, don't you think it's fun to toy with them like this Or do you find it fun to toy with me"

Faced with Li Wuyan's question, Luoli was at a loss.

"A-Yan, what do you mean by that When did I ever play you all for fools Everything I'm doing is for the greater good, didn't I tell you Wan'er can't be touched. You want to ask Feng and Ling Xi about medical practices, you wouldn't say anything yourself, so I offered to speak for you. Are you angry about that"

Li Wu-yan rolled his eyes and angrily left.

"A-Yan, speak clearly. What have I done wrong again"

Luoli quickly chased after them, the two figures growing smaller and farther away.

As Luoli said, Dugu City submitted a letter of resignation to the emperor two days later. This time, the emperor approved it, and three days later he could return to Linxi County. They were allowed to stay in the capital for three days to accompany the Empress Dowager and pay their respects.

After all, this parting, who knows when we'll meet again.

This time, Dugu Cheng did not refuse. He bid farewell successfully. The Empress Dowager summoned him, asking him to bring Feng Lingxi and Wan'er to Ci'an Palace for a chat. She wanted to speak with them. So Dugu Cheng took Feng Lingxi to Ci'an Palace.

This time entering the palace, his mood was different from last time. Perhaps knowing he would be leaving soon, Dugu City followed Empress Dowager's lead, accompanying her in conversation, admiring flowers, and performing filial piety at Ci’an Palace.

Compared to last time, the Empress' attitude towards Feng Lingxi and Wan'er had improved a lot this time. She tried her best to make amends with the mother and daughter, but Feng Lingxi and Wan'er couldn't get too close to her. After all, their identities were different.

The Empress Dowager didn't blame Feng Lingxi and Wan’er for their reaction. She always felt indebted to the mother and daughter. Dugu Cheng accompanied the Empress Dowager as they strolled through the Imperial Garden. They watched Wan’er and Feng Lingxi playing and admiring the flowers in the distance. The mother and daughter were happy without her company.

“My dear son, this trip back to the capital has caused them mother and daughter much distress. I know you are feeling uneasy about it. As for Empress Yan’s matter, even I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I already owed them mother and daughter before, and now this has happened again. I cannot forgive myself.”

Upon saying this, Empress Shutai's eyes welled with tears.

"Grand Empress, Tai'er and Wan'er have never blamed you. Please don't feel guilty."

Dugu Cheng comforted her, seeing her like this, his heart was not feeling well either. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how. After all, her status was noble now, she wasn't his former mother concubine.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't overthink things."

Du Gu Cheng didn't know what else to say besides comforting her.

The Empress looked at Dugu Cheng's worried eyes and held his hand, "Cheng'er, take good care of the two of them, mother and daughter. Don't worry about me, the Emperor treats me very well."

Dugu City knew that the Empress Dowager was comforting him. The Emperor treated her well, but this kindness was forced. He understood the Empress Dowager's difficulties, but right now, he had no other choice.

"That's good."

The Empress Dowager nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi and Wan'er's radiant smiles. She wiped away the mist from her eyes, feeling a pang of sadness.

Back then, she had such a good opportunity to live happily with Wan'er, but after she lost her memory, she forgot about it and even hurt their mother-daughter relationship. Even if Xi'er and Wan'er could forgive her, she still couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

"Wan'er, slow down."

Feng Lingxi chased after Wan'er's small frame as she ran. The little girl was surprisingly fast. Wan'er, in her eagerness to keep up, bumped into someone ahead. Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward to help Wan'er, and then heard someone angrily scold.

"Blind fool, even Princess Liu Fei you dare to bump into."

Hearing that she had bumped into Lady Liu Fei, Feng Lingxi hugged Wan'er and stood up, looking at the noble concubine dressed in front of her. She quickly apologized, "Lady Liu Fei, my daughter is reckless, I apologize for bumping into you."

Liuyu looked up and down at Feng Lingxi, this stunning face made Liuyu's eyes cold.

When did this harem acquire such a beautiful woman and her daughter

Could it be that the Emperor has a woman outside the palace

Who are you

This is…

Before Xiao Li could finish her words, she was slapped by a mammy beside Liu Fei. Feng Ling Xi was taken aback by this mammy's actions. This Liu Fei wasn't a kind person either.

"Concubine Liu asked her, 'You lowly maidservant, dare you speak to me'"

Feng Lingxi, seeing the arrogant demeanor of this old woman, shielded Xiao Li behind her.

She was my personal maidservant.

"A maidservant You can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to defend this lowly maid. Don't you think that because you have some beauty, you can ignore Lady Liu"

When the old woman finished speaking, she grabbed Feng Lingxi's arm and was about to pinch her. Feng Lingxi dodged her and shielded Wan'er in her arms, watching her warily.

"What are you going to do"

Grandma walked forward, looking at Feng Lingxi's arms holding Wan'er, her eyes were venomous.

“This servant only wants to properly discipline this vile little girl, let her see clearly, even dares to bump into Lady Liu Fei, truly living impatiently.” The mama finished speaking, and was about to make a move, Feng Lingxi raised her foot and kicked the mama back, handing Wan’er over to Xiao Li.

"Hold onto Wan'er tightly."

Xiaoli had just been slapped and now she saw this grandma about to hit Wan'er, feeling extremely angry. She quickly stepped forward, landing three or two punches that knocked the grandma over, and then stepped on her foot.

Feng Lingxi looked at Liu Fei who was watching coldly from the side. Originally, it was Wan'er who was wrong to charge, but this Liu Fei was simply too much.

All the women in this imperial harem are so vicious and cruel. She truly doesn't mesh well with this place. Every encounter is a nightmare.

"Your Majesty, it was Wan'er's fault for bumping into you. I have already apologized and offered you compensation. However, allowing the maidservant to strike someone is truly excessive."

"Wan'er"

When Liu Fei heard the name, her face changed slightly. These days, Yan Fei's messages to Wan Junzhu had been no secret in the palace. Could the woman before her be Feng Lingxi

"Are you the Princess Consort of Chen"

Liu Fei looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her eyes cold and sharp as she gazed at the child in her arms. The child was about the same age as Wan Junzhu. Could it be such a coincidence's every move from afar, his eyes filled with worry."Xiaoli, has she always treated patients like this""Young Master Lu, the Princess has her own sense of measure. This is because this illness is cont...
