Chapter 1471: Glass Purple Star 10

the room, besides herself and Xiao Li, Empress Dowager Shu had already fallen into a coma. The attendants didn't know what had happened to her. When Dugu Cheng returned, Feng Ling Xi's surgery was co...When the name "Chen Wangfu" was mentioned, the atmosphere at the table instantly stiffened. Lu Nian hurriedly winked at Feng Siyu, but Feng Siyu seemed to have not seen it and continued to ask, “Mother, Siyu wants to go back and have a look.”

"Siyu, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Nian tugged at Si Yu's sleeve, what was this child thinking

If this were really the Prince Cheng's Manor, my sister wouldn't agree to it.

"Big brother, please don't speak. I'll discuss this with my mother first. I want to go back to the Chen王府 and see what's going on. By the way, I want to ask him why my mother isn't good enough, why he took a new wife in the first place, and also, why he tried to harm her."

Feng Lingxi's body stiffened, looking at Feng Siyu's resolute eyes, she put food on his plate, her tone flat, "Siyu, this is between me and him. You're just a child, don't interfere."

"Mother, Siyu is not young anymore."

Feng Siyu stared into his mother's eyes, "Siyu has grown up and has the right to know the truth."

Wan'er looked at Feng Siyu and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Siyu, after dinner, sister will take you for a stroll on the street and buy some candied haws for you..."

I don't like to eat.

Feng Siyu interrupted Wan'er, his tone still firm. "I'm going to ask him at Chen Wangfu."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Mother won't be coming back. If you want to go to the Chen Wangfu, go by yourself."

"Mother, are you afraid to see him He's the one who wronged you. Why are you afraid of him"

Feng Siyu's words didn't sound like those of a four-year-old at all. His stern little face was full of determination, like a little adult, speaking in a serious and unwavering tone, refusing to give up.

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth and looked into Feng Siyu's determined eyes. "Mother is afraid to see him, afraid to see how pathetic he looks now, afraid to see his half-dead appearance, afraid that she won't be able to help herself but rush to save him."

"Mother..."

"Wan'er cried out with concern, Feng Lingxi, open your eyes. Take a deep breath."

"You are all his children, you have the right to see him," the mother said, "If you want to acknowledge him, your mother won't stop you, but your mother won't meet him. Your mother has her own thoughts too." Feng Lingxi finished speaking, slowly closed her eyes, her heart was also in pain.

Over the years, every time she mentioned Dugu City, she regretted it deeply. If she had been more clear-headed back then and not let love cloud her judgment, she wouldn't have fallen for him, wouldn't have believed his sweet words, and wouldn't be in this situation now.

Feng Siyu clenched his small fists, looking at his mother's pained expression, he remained silent.

Have you heard Prince Chen is coming to this Mingde Town. I heard it myself, and apparently he's bringing his consort Luo along this time.

The gossip from the next table reached Feng Lingxi's ears, making the already tense atmosphere even more awkward.

Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi and hurriedly got up to walk to the table beside them, chatting with them.

"Brother, are you saying it's true that Prince Chen is coming to Mingde Town"

Lu Nian took out a silver ingot, "Let's gossip, I also want to see the charm of King Chen."

He weighed the silver in his hand, a cold smile spreading across his teeth.

"Now, the Crown Prince Chen is nothing like his former self. He's lost all his aura and isn't the war god he used to be. He's just a good-for-nothing now."

"Shhh, don't talk so loud, someone might hear you and take you away, chop off your head."

Lu Nian simply sat beside them, raising an eyebrow curiously at them, "Brother, tell me."

"This..."

Lu Nian took out a silver ingot and placed it in front of them. “I’ll treat you all to this meal, just consider it making friends. This is my first time coming to Mingde Town, and before this, I’d heard about King Chen. They say he’s a war god…”

“He’s not a war god anymore, don't you know Five years ago, he divorced the princess consort and, in order to protect himself, surrendered his military power to the court. Because of this, many of his loyal generals who had followed him for years were demoted. He became a retired king in the capital, but none of those generals who followed him ended well.”

"Handing over military power That's nothing, right The whole world belongs to the emperor anyway. There's nothing wrong with handing over the military."

"How is that wrong"

That person glanced at Lü Nian, “You look like an outsider, don't you”

Lu Nian nodded, and the man continued, "Although King Chen has fifty thousand soldiers under his command, all of them willingly follow him. When he surrendered his military power, General Li was dismissed, Deputy General He died in battle, and General Feng disappeared without a trace. Even General Sun, who served under King Chen's wife, has gone missing. Everyone says he was…"

The other party made a gesture of slitting their throat. Feng Lingxi at the next table stiffened. Could the General Sun they were talking about be Sun Cheng

Dugu City surrendered his military power, could it be that Sun Cheng was punished

Lu Nian was startled and hurriedly said, "Could you have heard wrong How could the imperial court do such a thing"

The imperial court had long been looking to diminish the power of Prince Chen. This was an opportunity they couldn't miss. Besides, this Prince Chen was obsessed with women and didn't care about their lives. He was no longer a war god, just a depraved and lustful scoundrel.

Hearing them curse Du Gung City, Feng Lingxi's heart was in turmoil. She dared not think about Sun Cheng's whereabouts.

Even if Dugu City truly took a new wife and surrendered his military power, he wouldn't abandon General Li. And Sun Cheng, he knows what Sun Cheng and the others mean to her. If Sun Cheng were truly killed, wouldn't that prove that Dugu City wanted to completely sever ties with her past

She ruined everything he cared about.

However, everyone says that this Prince Chen is now reaping what he has sown. He is not as healthy as he used to be and doesn't have many years left to live.

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly urged Lu Nian.

"Brother, don't spread our words around carelessly, this could get us beheaded."

"Don't worry."

Lu Nian smiled, watching them eat and drink well. Then she returned to Feng Lingxi's side.

"Sister, have you heard all of it"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, her eyes slightly cold.

"Will you explain for him again this time"

Lu Nian's body stiffened, looking at Feng Ling Xi's coldness in her eyes, she coughed softly twice, "Sister, I won't speak for him, let's speak with facts."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, suddenly wanting to hear from his mouth that Lu Nian defended herself and explained she had misunderstood Dugucheng, saying all of this was false.

As far as I know, after Dugu City surrendered his military power, his 500,000 soldiers were taken over by Wang Yu. As for how he was punished, I'm not quite sure.

Lu Nian glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Anyway, he's here. Why don't you ask him later"

"I'll look into it."

Since he's here, they'll eventually meet. Right now, she doesn't want to think about anything; as long as Sun Cheng and those soldiers are still alive, she won't mind. If Sun Cheng really did what they said, and because of Du Gu Cheng's death, she would definitely seek justice for them.

"Xiao Feng, I'm back."

Tao Su went and came back, as soon as he stepped in, a group of people followed behind, quickly emptying the inn. The second boy hurried to their front, "Several guests, our small shop has been booked by those gentlemen over there, please..."to the room, Luo Li followed closely behind. He didn't seem to mind interrupting Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi at all; instead, he imitated Wan'er and began to complain to them both."You promised me you...
