Chapter 206: Palace Change 50

h the food. The maids who brought the food didn't dare to make a sound one by one. After putting down the food, Xiaoli watched the faces of the King and Queen, and forced herself forward, "Your Majest...Feng Lingxi coldly swept past the Zhao family, “Since your father has something to say, it’s probably not a good idea for Third Aunt to stop him.”

After finishing his words, he strode forward. Feng Aotien hurriedly followed. Zhao shi wanted to step forward, but the guards in front of the carriage stopped her, leaving her to watch Feng Aotien follow Feng Lingxi away from afar.

"Go on, what do you want to tell me."

"Xier, thank you for still being willing to meet me alone."

Feng Aotian's voice was laced with a hint of age, completely different from when he had scolded her before. There was no trace of his previous domineering aura.

"Let's get to the point, time is running out."

Feng Aotian took out a box from his bosom and handed it to her, “This is for you. It’s not some precious item. Since this is your first time accompanying me on a campaign, consider this a little compensation from me.”

Looking at the box he handed over, Feng Lingxi didn't reach out to take it. Her brow furrowed slightly. Feng Aotien saw this and stuffed the box into her hand. "Open it after I leave."

"Xi'er, war is no child's play. Although you have medical skills to protect yourself, the battlefield is full of blades and chaos. Be careful in everything you do. People's hearts are hard to gauge, so trust no one. Don't end up harming yourself."

Feng Lingxi, listening to his earnest advice, felt a mixture of emotions. Did he speak from personal experience

"Oh, and this too, take it."

Feng Aotian took a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to her. "This is the only keepsake your mother left me. I have owed her my whole life. This jade pendant should have been kept as a remembrance, but..." Feng Aotian paused, his eyes slightly moist, "Just take it, keep it as a remembrance."

Feng Lingxi heard that it was her mother's belongings, reached out to take them, thought of Zi Xing, hesitated for a while, but still opened her mouth.

"Do you know what the Zi Xing is"

Feng Aotian's face changed slightly, and the strangeness in his eyes made Feng Lingxi frown. It seemed he knew Zixing.

"Xier, how did you know about Zi Xing Did your mother tell you"

"So you knew about Zi Xing It wasn't my mother who told me, it was the Empress. She asked me, and I learned that my mother had a Zi Xing, but I didn't know what it was. The Empress didn't say either, so that's why I asked you."

Perhaps this was the last time she asked him about her mother.

Feng Aotiantian's expression grew serious as he looked at Feng Lingxi. "Lingxi, don't ask about Zixing's matter, and don't interfere. Since your mother didn't tell you, it means she doesn't want you to know. Just pretend this never happened."

"It seems you know Zi Xing." When Feng Ling Xi heard this, her heart was still balanced. At least he didn't hide it from her, and his words were also for her own good. It wasn't in vain that the heroine called him "father."

"Xier, remember what your father says, about Zixing's matters, don't ask. As long as you don't know, you'll be the safest."

Wind Ling's brow furrowed slightly, "What do you mean by that Isn't someone going to kill me for Zi Xing"

Remember what your father says, this old man has never treated you well in his life, but this time, he is truly doing it for your own good, Xi'er, promise your father, don't ask Zi Xing, your mother is gone, you just need to live a good life, that's her greatest wish.

"You're overthinking things. I have no interest in Zixing. It's getting late, I should be going." Feng Lingxi turned and left. Feng Aotian watched her retreating figure, his eyes welling up. Xi'er, remember what your father said, don't investigate Zixing's affairs.

Feng Lingxi walked up to the carriage, glanced at Zhao Shi and Feng Yu Xi, smirked at them, and got into the carriage.

"Your Highness."

Arsenic hastily put down the curtain, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

He's doing well, I haven't bullied him.

Feng Lingxi's explanation caused Bi Fang to hastily explain, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it that way. I just saw him like this and remembered what happened this time, it brought back painful memories."

"Gather your emotions, it's time to leave."

Feng Lingxi knew she was being cold now. Feng Aotien must not be doing well either right now. Both Zhao Shi and Feng Yu Xi were not easy to deal with. He was still a general after all, even if he feared his wife, he wouldn't be unable to cope.

"Your Highness, Feng Yu Xi's eyes have been fixed on the carriage this whole time, as if he sensed something."

Xiaoli whispered, "Just now, when the Princess was talking to General Fengyu, Fengyuxi's eyes kept staring at the carriage. She worried that Fengyuxi had discovered that Fenglingyu was still alive. If this were to be told to Feng's concubine, it would surely cause trouble."

Feng Ling Xi lifted the curtain, her gaze meeting Yu Wei's. She said calmly, "A fox will always show its tail eventually. No need to pay attention; let's depart."

Feng Yu Xi watched Feng Ling Xi's carriage drive away, a smile blooming in her eyes. She saw her father walking towards them and stepped forward to help him.

"Daddy, what did you say to the Fourth Princess Did she give you any trouble"

Feng Aotian glanced at his third daughter, letting out a long sigh. "It's truly my fault for not treating her well, causing her so much suffering these years. It's normal for her to be distant from me. Yuxi, in the future, father will make amends to you and won't let you become another Xi'er."

Feng Yu Xi held a smile and said, "Father has already been kind enough to his daughter. The daughter doesn't ask for anything else, only that Father and Mother stay healthy and allow the daughter to serve them."

"You foolish child, you're going to get married sooner or later, so how can you stay by your father's side forever"

Feng Aotian patted her head, his face full of love and said, "Another day, father will find a good family for you to marry into, so you can live a prosperous life."

"Father, I don't want to get married in such a hurry. I still want to stay by your side and serve you and Mother…"

Before the evening talk of wind and rain could be finished, a figure on horseback came galloping. The rider dismounted and quickly approached, gazing at the retreating army with eyes full of disappointment.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

"This humble servant has had the honor of meeting Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Feng Yu Xi looked at Du Gu Yan's handsome face, the love in her eyes revealing. Du Gu Yan came back to his senses and saw Feng Yu Xi's gaze, making Feng Yu Xi hurriedly lower her head. Her heart raced like a deer in the wild, her hands clenched tightly, finding no place to rest.

"The Wind General is exempt from etiquette. This Palace merely came to see off the Fourth Brother and the Fourth Princess one last time, but it seems I am still late."

Feng Aotien looked at the disappointment in Dugu Yan's eyes and didn't know what to say.

"Wind General, there's one more thing I need you to help me with."

Feng Aotian heard Dugu Yan speak, and hurriedly said, “Your Highness, please give your orders.”

In two days, follow this palace to a trip to Licun County.

Feng Aotian responded, and before Dugu Yan could leave, she suddenly thought of something, stopped her steps, and looked at Yu Xi. "Linglong hasn't been in a good mood recently. If the third miss has time, please go to the Prince's Mansion to see her. She should feel much better seeing her own sister."

"Your servant obeys."

The wind and rain echoed as if in response. It wasn't until Dugu Yan walked far away that he finally lifted his head, looked at his receding figure, and then turned his gaze away.

"Yuxi, don't even think about the prince. He is your elder sister's husband. If you were to enter the prince's manor, your elder sister would be very unhappy."n my belly You saw through me. I truly do want her dead."Knowing he was doing this out of a desire for vengeance against the injustice of the storm, Feng Ling Xi found his words particularly grating t...
