Chapter 1542: Glassy Violet Star 81

ace thinks we should just shoot her dead.""No, Xi'er is still in her hands. This matter, Empress, please do not intervene."The Emperor stood up, no longer looking sickly, but instead radiating majesty..."Return to Xi Gu Guo"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Lu Nian's anxious eyes, and said softly, "Take Wan'er and leave here."

Since Wan'er shouldn't go to the Yao tribe, she would take Wan'er to Xigu Kingdom to seek refuge. As long as she was alive, she wouldn't let Wan'er be harmed, unless she died herself.

"Then you won't resolve your issue with Dugu Cheng before leaving Besides, isn't Wan'er going to be the leader of the Yao Clan Will the Yao Clan let her go"

"Fine, let whoever wants it have it. This Yao Clan Chief position isn't suited for Wan'er, his daughter from Luoli could do it instead." Anyway, it's all just a sacrifice. If Luoli dares to send Wan'er, she dares to send his daughter.

No matter what hardships he may have, he cannot use her daughter as a sacrifice.

Lu Nian read the coldness in Feng Ling Xi's eyes and nodded.

"Then do it your way. When things here are settled, we'll go back. In Xigu Kingdom, with us there, no one will dare to bully you."

Feng Lingxi nodded. She could hide once, she could hide again. Taking Wan'er and Siyu Siqi with her, as for Dugu Cheng, their fate had already ended. Even if she knew the truth from back then, even if she knew that Dugu Cheng drove her away for her own good, in the end, a broken mirror was hard to mend, impossible to reunite.

Lu Nian informed Huangfu Qingyun and Dugu City. After Feng Lingxi entered the palace, the two followed suit.

"Feng Lingxi has met the Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty."

Feng Lingxi bowed to Emperor Yuan Zhao, and Lu Nian beside her also followed suit. Looking at the two who appeared simultaneously, Emperor Yuan Zhao, although puzzled, did not show any displeasure. After all, he was quite proud that Feng Lingxi could enter the palace this time.

"What should I call you now"

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at Feng Ling Xi with a kind and pleasant expression.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, “Your Majesty, you may choose as you please.”

Yuan Zhaodi nodded, “After all these years, you haven't changed at all. On the contrary, you've become even more beautiful. You don't look like a woman who has given birth to three children at all. You truly have the art of staying young.”

Feng Lingxi smiled, "Your Majesty overpraised me. Time spares no one, how could there be no changes"

"You're right."

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at Feng Lingxi and Lu Nian standing before him, showing no fear whatsoever. Lu Nian held a box in her hand, but what was inside remained a mystery – a gift for him perhaps

"Your Majesty, I am unaware of the reason for this summons. "

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, "If we continue to chat like this, even when Dugu City arrives, we won't have gotten to the point."

Emperor Yuan Zhao coughed lightly, "It's like this, I heard that you were given the title of 'Princess Shenglan' in Xi Gu Guo. I want to ask if this is true"

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi admitted, glancing at the box Lu Nian was holding. "This box contains the imperial decree. If the emperor wants to see it, just open it."

Although Emperor Yuan Zhao wanted to open the box, Feng Lingxi brought it herself and didn't open it. This wasn't just embarrassing for him; this showed that his relationship with her was truly over.

"This is the situation, Your Majesty heard that you entered the capital and wanted to arrange a marriage for you. This person you know, it's Prince Huangfu Qingyun of the Xia Dynasty. My Empress Dowager has heard that your mother and the Emperor and Empress of the Xia Dynasty had already set a betrothal between you before. Because you weren't together with the Crown Prince back then, now that you and him are divorced, the Empress Dowager wants to bestow upon you the title of princess in our Great Yuan Dynasty, marrying into the Xia Dynasty. But now it seems I no longer have that right."

Feng Lingxi had wanted to make a statement, but Yuan Zhaodi's last words left her speechless.

"In ancient times, the Xi Gu Kingdom bestowed upon me the title 'Princess Shenglan.' I only learned of this recently. Your Majesty's ignorance is understandable. Now that everything has been clarified, please rescind the decree."

Emperor Yuan Zhao coughed twice, covering his mouth. His face looked slightly pale as he nodded.

"I know."

What's wrong with this wind

She didn't see that his face was pale, didn't she see him coughing

Why didn't she want to go up and diagnose him

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Feng Lingxi bowed to Emperor Yuanshao, and Lu Nian stepped forward, offering the box. "Your Majesty, would you like to personally view the imperial decree bestowing the title of princess"

This is the imperial decree of a Western Ancient nation's emperor. If Yuan Zhaodi were to really check it, once this news reached the Western Ancient nation, they would certainly be dissatisfied, and would eventually denounce the Great Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Yuan Zhaodi not opening it is the best course of action.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of the Azure Summer Dynasty request an audience."

Just as Dugongcheng was struggling with his thoughts, the eunuch announced their arrival. Emperor Yuan Zhao hastily let them in and, after a couple of coughs, slowly said, “I believe what you have said.”

Dugu City and Huangfu Qingyun entered, bowed, and their eyes unanimously fell on Feng Lingxi.

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked into Qingyun Hu's eyes, his gaze full of scheming.

"Crown Prince Huangfu, King Chen, you have arrived just in time. I was about to summon you to the palace to discuss matters."

Dugu City stood aside, the atmosphere somewhat stiff.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to discuss the marriage between He and Xier."

Huangfu Qingyun opened her mouth, looking at Feng Lingxi with a smile. "Since Xi'er is here, this palace humbly requests the Emperor to set a date for the marriage, so as to avoid disturbance from Prince Chen."

"Crown Prince Huangpu, this time it's likely beyond the reach of Wang Chen to intervene. It seems the selection of a consort will have to change."

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at Feng Lingxi, "Prince Huangfu, now Feng Lingxi's identity is the 'Sacred Phoenix Princess' of Xigu Kingdom. Her marriage, I have no right to decide. Prince Huangfu, if you want to grant a marriage, you'd probably have to ask the Emperor of Xigu Kingdom."

Huangfu Qingyun's expression changed slightly as she looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xier, are you really the princess of Xigu Country"

The imperial edict is in the box. If you don't believe me, you can open it and see for yourself.

Feng Lingxi's tone was indifferent as she watched Huangfu Qingyun turn and look at the box. She wanted to reach out and open it, but clenched her fists and held them tightly, not opening it.

"Xier, shall I go to Xigu Kingdom and request their permission to marry you Will you agree"

Huangpu Qingyun turned to Feng Lingxi and asked, "Are you interested in Feng Lingxi's identity"

No, what he cared about was whether Feng Lingxi was willing to marry him. If she wasn't willing, no matter who she was, he wouldn't be able to marry her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not willing."

Feng Lingxi's answer was very concise, without any hesitation. "Prince Huangpu, as I said, we can only be siblings. These years, you have misunderstood me. I have been waiting, and now I solemnly apologize to you. I hope that this time you can let go completely and find a suitable woman to live a good life."

In front of everyone, being so straightforward like this, Feng Lingxi thought, with her doing this, Huangpu Qingyun would never be willing to wait for her again.

No matter if he hated her or loathed her, as long as he wasn't thinking about waiting for her, it would be enough.

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi's calm face, the words without any trace of lying, his heart seemed to be cut by something, aching unbearably.

He waited for her for five years. After five years, he hadn't had time to explain to her how he felt about her all these years, but she ruthlessly crushed all his feelings., 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...
