Chapter 297: Seize the Throne 52

hindering you.""Don't you think I wouldn't dare to divorce you, or even kill you That's why you're so brazen"She was the princess that the emperor had betrothed to him. After she entered his househol...Huanghpu Qingyun glanced at Feng Lingxi, walked to her face, and reached out to touch her forehead, “Xier is the princess consort of this palace before she entered the door. Saving her is the fate of this palace and hers. The Fourth Prince's gratitude, this palace does not accept.”

"This King was once betrothed to Xi'er. For the reason behind this, you would have to ask Xi'er's mother. However, regardless of the circumstances, this King and Xi'er are already married, which is a fact. Even if His Royal Highness truly had a betrothal with Xi'er, it would likely be too late."

Dugu City was very fortunate at this moment, he and Xi'er had a relationship early on. Otherwise, he thought that if he wanted to be with Xi'er, I'm afraid it would be destined but not fated.

"Whether it's fate or not, we'll see in the future."

Huangfu Qingyun stepped forward, wanting to take Xi'er from Dugu City's embrace, but he was guarded and could only watch him hold Xi'er.

"Xi'er fainted, let's not talk about this for now. Send her to the inner hall to rest and wait until she wakes up before we discuss anything further."

Dugu Cheng lifted Feng Ling Xi, and looked at Huang Fu Qing Yun who wanted to reach out and take her. He opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for leading the way."

Huangfu Qingyun withdrew his hand, his expression stiff. Looking at Dugu Cheng holding Feng Lingxi with such familiarity, he unconsciously clenched his fist.

Dr. Zhang watched as Dugu City brought Feng Lingxi in, and seeing the sullen face of the Crown Prince, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead as he resignedly examined Feng Lingxi.

"Dr. Zhang, how is Xi'er doing"

Huangfu Qingyun saw Zhang Taiyi finish treating the patient, and immediately asked, "Du Gu Cheng didn't get a chance to speak, but he was equally anxious, watching Zhang Taiyi. Even though Xiao Li said there would be no problem, he was still somewhat worried inside. "

"Miss Lin, you're fine, just rest for a while."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand, looking at her as she opened her eyes, and exclaimed with joy, "Xi'er, you're awake"

Huangfu Qingyun saw this, and hurried forward. Why had he woken up so quickly this time Could it be that Xi'er sensed the appearance of Dugu City, so she woke up faster than usual

Feng Ling Xi met Dugu Cheng's delighted eyes, looking at him clutching her hand, she hurriedly pulled it back, "Who are you"

"I…"

Feng Ling Xi's words pierced Du Gu Cheng's heart. Looking at Xi Er with completely unfamiliar eyes, his heart was torn apart.

"Miss, he is..."

"I'm a guest here for the banquet. I saw you fainted in the Imperial Garden and came here with the Crown Prince. Since you're awake, I won't disturb you any further."

Dugu Cheng didn't recognize her immediately. Instead, he found an identity to speak with her, not wanting to see fear in her eyes, even a sliver of it. He wouldn't allow himself to see that.

"Thank you for saving me."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "My name is Lin Xi, what's your name"

獨孤城聽到她主動和他打招呼，眼神欣喜，連忙道，“我叫獨孤城。” Dugu Cheng, hearing her take the initiative to greet him, his eyes lit up with joy. He hurriedly said, "My name is Dugu Cheng."

"Dugu City."

Feng Lingxi pondered the name, looking at him. "Are you lonely Otherwise, why would you choose this name"

獨孤城 nodded, "Indeed, it is quite lonely. Miss, you have sharp eyes."

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng stand up, a touch of pity rising in her heart. Looking into Dugu Cheng's eyes, she saw the pain there. For some reason, she felt sorry for him.

Huangfu Qingyun watched Feng Lingxi chasing after Dugu City's figure. This was something he had never seen before. Logically speaking, Xi'er had amnesia and wouldn't react this way. However, her attitude towards Dugu City now seemed like that of old friends. He suddenly wanted to know what their relationship was like before, whether it was as loving as his parents'.

"Xi'er, we should go back too, Mother must be worried."

Huangfu Qingyun stepped forward, wanting to hold Feng Lingxi's hand, but she dodged it. Although he didn't know if it was intentional, this action already hurt him deeply. Looking at her attitude towards Dugu City compared to him, Huangfu Qingyun began to wonder if he had truly missed his chance.

"Prince, let's go."

Feng Lingxi politely nodded toward Dugu Cheng, then took Xiao Li back. Dugu Cheng quickly stepped forward, "I'm going to the Empress's side too, let's go together."

Feng Lingxi charged at Du Gu Cheng with a faint smile, but her eyes weren't like they usually were.

Huangfu Qingyun saw the whole scene with his own eyes, still maintaining his usual smile.

Three people returned to the empress's inner chamber. Seeing them return, the empress let out a sigh of relief, her gaze falling on Dugu City who had entered with them.

"Madam."

Dugu Cheng walked to Yao Wan'ying's side, their eyes met. Yao Wan'ying glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Have you met her before"

"We all know."

In a nutshell, it sums up the current situation.

"Your Majesty, this is the man I told you about, Dugu City."

"Dugu Cheng has seen the Empress."

Du Gu Cheng bowed, and the Empress nodded slightly. "This palace has long heard of the Fourth Prince's reputation, and I didn't expect to meet him here today. Please take a seat, Fourth Prince."

"So you are the prince."

Feng Ling Xi suddenly spoke, looking at Du Gu Cheng with surprise in her eyes. Du Gu Cheng returned a smile to her.

"Xi'er, he is the Fourth Prince of the Yuan Dynasty. Do you have any impression of him"

The Empress suddenly asked, Feng Lingxi was slightly surprised, not knowing why the Empress would ask her this. However, she still honestly shook her head, "I don't recognize him."

"Miss Lin, haven't we already met"

Dugu Cheng smiled softly, looking at Feng Lingxi with very gentle eyes. This made Huangpu Qingyun on the side feel very uncomfortable, but due to the face of the two countries, he didn't know what to say.

"You're right."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, seeing him smile at her, she returned a bright smile, pointing to Yao Wan'ying beside him, "Fourth Prince, do you know her She says she is my mother."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Yao Wan Ying, "She is the Saintess of the Yao Clan, indeed your biological mother."

But I don't remember her.

Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Wan'ying, her eyes full of entanglement. She wanted to recall the past, but a headache came on. Feng Lingxi hurriedly covered her head, and her staggering body made Huangfu Qingyun next to her quickly support her, "Xier, don't think about it if you can't remember."

"Let things take their course, what you are meant to remember will eventually come back to you."

Dugu Cheng wanted to step forward and help her, but seeing Huangfu Qingyun move faster than him, he retracted his hand and clenched his fist.

"Yun'er, take Xi'er down to rest first. Dinner isn't ready yet, let her go and have a rest."

The Empress spoke, and Huangfu Qingyun was naturally delighted. After bowing to Yao Wan’ying, he took Feng Lingxi away. Dugu Cheng saw Xi'er following Huangfu Qingyun away. His gaze hadn't moved back when he looked at him, his eyes full of heartache.

"Wǎnyíng, you must give this palace an explanation."

The Empress spoke, watching her son fall deeper into this situation. If she didn't understand what was going on, she feared she wouldn't be able to pull him out of this infatuation. The Huangfu family were all romantic by nature, and she was afraid that Yun'er would end up remaining unmarried for life because of Feng Lingxi. Then she would truly have sinned.her out of the mansion, riding a horse towards the valley. At dusk, the setting sun painted the sky with a beautiful line of afterglow.Dugu Cheng rode with Feng Ling Xi, galloping through the valley....
