Chapter 1263: The Smoke of War Begins

Then thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.""Xier, if there's nothing else, perhaps we should return to the room and rest It's getting late."He hinted so obviously, Xier should be able to underst..."As for my biological father and mother, I would naturally choose my mother. You know about my father; his existence is negligible."

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's calmness in her eyes. She hadn't thought that way before.

"Your mother-in-law didn't just say these things, did she"

"Quite a few. They mostly remind me not to trust anyone from the Yao clan. Also, she fought with Xinshui and got hurt, poisoned too. But luckily the poison is almost gone, she's doing okay."

Feng Lingxi thought of how she had taken her mother's pulse yesterday. Her weak body and the worry in her eyes were unchanged.

It's a pity that her mother refuses to return with her for recuperation, fearing she might be dragged down.

"Is your ideal martial art similar to that of Mother Yue"

Dugu City was a little skeptical. This Qiu'er's martial arts were not weak, and Shangguan Huan's martial arts were even better. In that case, Yue Mu's martial arts were quite good.

“I don't know about that. My mother said that Xinshui practitioners who go astray by practicing too hard, every full moon night, have to drink human blood. I think this time Yu Mo was captured, and the missing soldiers, Xinshui can't be separated from it. Luoli has to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

As the chief, Luo Li couldn't just ignore the wrongdoing committed by his Yao tribe people.

She doesn't have that permission, but Luo Li does.

Du Gu Cheng's face was full of disbelief, "What kind of martial arts did this Xin Shui practice How can he still be bloodthirsty even after going through the fire"

Wind blows, and she shakes her head. Mother doesn't say anything.

"This matter, this king will have people keep an eye on it. You yourself should also be more careful in your daily life. Whether you have a crush on someone, once Yu Mo wakes up, it will be clear."

"You have Yi Xuan take care of Yu Mo, I'll go see Lu Nian later and make things clear to him, so he won't come looking for me again."

Dugu Cheng nodded, finished his breakfast, and went out to call Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Ling Xi checked Feng Yu Mo's wound and saw that his pulse was much better, so she felt relieved. Feng Yi Xuan also came in and asked him to watch over Feng Yu Mo before going out.

Lü Nian was surveying the courtyard of Chen Wangfu, her eyes full of displeasure. This Chen Wangfu was too rundown.

When is your princess coming

Lu Nian waited for a while and became impatient. He, who was eager to see her, came with such urgency, how could he just dawdle and not appear It was driving him crazy.

Xiao Li apologized, "The princess's brother had an accident, and the princess hasn't slept all night taking care of him. She should be changing his medicine now, Master Lu, please wait a moment."

"Her brother"

Lu Nian frowned, "You mean the one who was born to her general's father"

Xiao Li nodded and watched Lu Nian frown, obviously jealous.

"It has nothing to do with her, I'm his older brother."

Feng Lingxi walked over, looking at Lu Nian's eyes, and walked towards him.

"Master Lu."

Feng Lingxi shouted. Hearing this address, Lu Nian saw the joy in Feng Lingxi's eyes when she looked at him instantly turn into dejection. She actually called him "Lu Gongzi," such an unfamiliar name. Was this really his younger sister

"Haven't we all become acquainted Why are you still calling me Master Lu You should call me brother, big brother."

Lu Nian reminded Feng Lingxi of his identity again, heartily. Feng Lingxi took two steps back and looked at Lu Nian.

"I'm sorry, I can't recognize you."

"Why"

Lu Nian's eyes turned red. "I told my parents, I found you! They are already on their way here. Now that you say you don't recognize me, how am I supposed to explain this to them They will kill me!"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian's appearance, feeling a little embarrassed.

She doesn't want to acknowledge him as her brother, but her mother won't allow it.

"Then you explain to them, I've said I can't acknowledge you, just go back. Staying here, no matter what I say, I won't acknowledge you."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and turned to leave, Lu Nian hurriedly stopped her.

"Speak plainly, why can't you recognize me suddenly"

He traveled a thousand miles, he didn't come here to listen to her talk. If he didn't figure it out, when his parents arrived, his skin would be peeled off by his mother.

"Do you really want to know"

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and saw Lu Nian nod.

"Fine, you know now. Don't come looking for me again. Tell your parents what my mother said. She made it clear: I cannot acknowledge him. I must choose between him and my mother, and I have chosen my mother."

"Isn't your mother missing"

Feng Lingxi stared at Lu Nian, her eyes suddenly turned cold. Lu Nian hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, she's missing, you don't have to be so nitpicky. You recognize him as your father, she doesn't know about..."

"Go back. I said I wouldn't recognize him."

Feng Lingxi's attitude was firm, Lu Nian still wanted to plead for mercy, but Dugucheng stopped him.

"Xi'er's personality is like this, once she makes a decision, she won't change it. What's more, this is the idea of your mother-in-law. You truthfully tell your parents, I believe they will understand and won't make things difficult for you."

After all, it wasn't Lu Nian's fault. It was the fault of Lu Nian's father who had dallied with others everywhere.

Lu Nian's face fell. He was so happy to finally have a younger sister, but she didn't recognize him.

Lu Nian was unwilling to give up. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's cold expression, her face clearly showing her rejection of him, he felt deeply disheartened.

"If you don't recognize him, then at least recognize me as your older brother. I rarely have a sister, and I will be good to you and protect you. Isn't that great…"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

Feng Lingxi coldly interrupted Lu Nian, "Leave. You can shout until you're hoarse, and I will never admit you. Young Master Lu, please leave."

Lu Nian opened her mouth, but her throat felt like something was stuck in it. She was incredibly frustrated.

"Young Master Lu, please return."

獨孤城看著陸念，“ I'll see you off.”

Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi reluctantly, her face full of disappointment as she walked out.

"Your Highness, you really don't recognize him If he truly is your brother, wouldn't it be hard for him if you didn't recognize him Just look at him, his eyes are shining when he sees you, like he has the whole world. This servant has never seen anyone look at Your Highness with such eyes before."

"Doesn't Dugu City look at me with the same kind of eyes"

Feng Lingxi said faintly, "My mother doesn't allow it, what can I do about it"

Furthermore, although Lu Nian has been kind to her, he is after all the son of that person. Her mother said she mustn't acknowledge him as her father, so she could only accept it.

"That's different. The way the King looks at his wife, it's filled with deep affection, unlike how Master Lu looks at you. When he sees you, it's like the joy and excitement of seeing a beloved family member, it's completely different from the King."

The so-called bystander is clear, Xiaoli truly sees things clearly.

Lu Nian was truly delighted to have found Princess Fei as his sister. However, the princess's attitude was so cold that it was frightening.

Feng Ling Xi's eyes drooped, her gaze concealing a deep reluctance.

"So what My mother said no, and as her daughter, I can't just abandon her for the sake of acknowledging a father I've never met. I apologize." Besides, in both times she visited her mother, she urged her to take good care of herself, worried that she might be implicated.

"But Lord Lu is also very good to the Princess. He just wants to be recognized by her.", he wouldn't want to have anything to do with Dugu Yu."Fourth Royal Wife, since we are in a cooperative relationship, wouldn't you be able to cure this King's poison"Feng Lingxi reached out and raise...
