Chapter 1326: The Smoke of War Rises
f longing. After the princess gave birth to the child, she raised him for three months and then handed him over to Huangfu Qingyun for upbringing. This matter, besides Huangfu Qingyun and the emperor...Feng Lingxi gave Lu Nian a piece of meat, "Thank you for your understanding."
"Sister, eat quickly."
Lu Nian gave Feng Lingxi a lot of meat, "You're too thin, you need to eat more. Besides, our Lu family doesn't lack boys, if the Crown Prince doesn't mind, you can have two more girls."
Feng Ling's movements froze slightly, she looked up at Lu Nian, "But I want a boy more, who wouldn't want both sons and daughters."
She's not sexist, she just heard Lu Nian's words and thought of the Lu family's preference for daughters. She was afraid that the Lu family would take her daughter away when the time came. She didn't want her own daughter to fall into the hands of the Yao clan in the Ghost Saint Country or the Lu family in Xigu Country. If that were the case, she might as well not have a child at all.
Feng Lingxi's worries, Lu Nian couldn't think of where to go. He just thought that Dugu City was the prince and wanted to inherit the family business. After all, not every family was like the Lu family, who didn't care about their sons.
"Sister, if we could have both a son and a daughter, it couldn't be better. But you could also have two more," Lu Nian flattered, Feng Lingxi glanced at him without saying a word.
After the meal, Feng Lingxi wasn't affected by Lu Nian's words and continued to enjoy the delicious food. The dishes were really tasty, and with a whole table full of them, just the three of them eating was already quite extravagant.
"Little sister, if you ever want to eat something, just come anytime. Everything is free."
Lu Nian smiled, looking at Feng Lingxi. He liked him more and more with each glance. If this was a woman who loved money, he wouldn't look up to her at all.
On the contrary, Feng Lingxi's personality is more ambitious and resembles that of the Lu family.
Feng Lingxi nodded and said thank you, "It's getting late. Thank you for telling me so much about the Lu family today. I should head back now. If you want to see Wan'er, just come to the mansion."
"Thank you, little sister."
Lu Nian was so excited that he could go to Chen Wang's mansion to play with Wan'er, he couldn't wait.
This one isn't fun at all, he just gossips all day. If he went to play with Wan'er, it would be different. That girl is so much fun, smart and quick-witted, she's a real live wire. If Wan'er suddenly started calling him uncle, he'd be her only real uncle.
Just thinking about it, Lu Nian's heart was pounding with excitement.
I'm leaving now.
Seeing Lu Nian's delighted expression, Feng Lingxi took Xiaoli away from Yipinxiang. After they came out, they realized that there was someone following them.
"Your Highness, should we lure him out"
"The tail end of Linxi County won't be getting involved with us here, no matter what. We don't care about him."
On their turf, they wouldn't make a move unless they were absolutely sure they could kill them in one strike. They wouldn't be stupid enough to risk it otherwise.
Furthermore, she didn't feel any murderous intent from the person behind her.
When the two returned to Chen Wang's mansion, the steward stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, General Zhen Guo has arrived. The Lord is not in the mansion. He said he has important matters to discuss, so he asked to wait in the front hall."
"How long has he been here"
If Feng Aotian came to find Dugu City, he wouldn't stay here waiting for her return. It seems like he came for her.
Less than a cup of tea’s time.
Feng Lingxi nodded and took Xiao Li to the front hall. Feng Aotian was sitting in the front hall, his eyes occasionally looking outside. When Feng Lingxi appeared, he saw her at once and immediately got up to walk towards her.
"Generalissimo."
"My Queen, you're finally back."
"What has happened, General, to cause such urgency"
The anxious expression was just like when he came to her for help before.
Feng Aotien hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I just received news that a plague has broken out in Tumu Town, even more severe than the last time. The government knew I was here and came to ask for help. I want you to go and take a look."
"Another Mudtown"
Feng Lingxi thought she had heard wrong. Seeing Feng Aotian nod, she was full of disbelief.
"How is this possible Didn't we give them medicine last time And they were already cured, how could the plague break out again"
“I don’t know what’s going on, but this time it’s especially severe. Thousands of civilians and officials in the city have already fallen ill, and it spreads incredibly fast, it’s terrifying.”
Feng Aotian heard this, the anxiety in his eyes made Feng Lingxi frown.
"Has there been a report to the imperial court"
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotiān, "I've submitted memorials to the court several times, but I haven't received any news. It's been completely silent. I'm starting to wonder if these memorials are being intercepted."
"Hold on"
Wind Ling Xi frowned, seeing Feng Ao Tian nod. "You don't understand the affairs of the court. The credit for the last incident in Tu Mu Town was attributed to me, and the emperor was pleased, bestowing rewards upon me. But now, an epidemic has broken out again in Tu Mu Town. If it cannot be resolved in time, all responsibility will fall on my shoulders."
"Do you mean someone is trying to frame you"
"Last time in Tumu Town, I made a name for myself. Everyone knows it was you who gave me the credit for that. Now this has erupted again, and I'm here in Linxi County. If this isn't resolved, I'm afraid I'll be caught in the crossfire."
"It's not just you, but also Dugu City and me."
Feng Ling Xi’s eyes gradually turned cold, “Their purpose is to pin the plague of this Tumu town on our heads. It's such a coincidence that you came here. The plague appeared in Tumu town, and if I don’t treat it, it becomes your fault. And both I and Dugu City will be condemned as deserving death for not rescuing them. If we try to help, we may be lucky enough to escape unharmed. But if we are unlucky and contract the plague, dying untreated would fulfill their wish.”
This move is truly ruthless.
Feng Aotian had thought of this layer long ago, but he felt it was inappropriate to say it. Now that Feng Lingxi brought it up, he nodded.
It's highly probable.
Feng Lingxi's face grew even colder. How had they been targeted again This person's mind was too dark. Was this plague a joke
Do thousands of lives mean nothing to you
Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, so angry she gritted her teeth.
"Princess Consort of Chen, what should we do about this"
"I still need to discuss this with Dugu City. After all, this trip is dangerous, and we need to be prepared before going." This Linxi County was already struggling to support itself, and now it had to find medicinal materials to support Tu Mu Town. The last batch of medicinal materials hadn't fully recovered yet, and now they were sending out another batch. It was simply taking her life.
"My Queen, are you truly willing to journey to Tumwood again This trip will be far more perilous than the last. This time, it is a true plague, unlike what we faced before."
"Can't we just leave" Feng Lingxi asked Feng Aotiān. Those people eyeing them wouldn't let this good opportunity pass.
Feng Lingxi was angry, very angry. But if she didn't go, this time things would probably get serious.
Feng Aotien, hearing Feng Lingxi's helpless tone, spoke, "If you don't go, I understand. Besides, I will find someone else to go."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Aotian, “Don't overthink it, I didn't go to Tumuwzhen because of you. It's just that now I've been dragged down by you.” Back then, if she hadn't teamed up with Feng Aotian to go to Tumuwzhen to treat those people, nothing would have happened today.st station, one inside the city and one outside, were kept out of the capital by Dugu City. They could only stay at the post station, and what made Feng Aotiang most angry was that they had to report...
