Chapter 871 Falling Frost Flowers 61

heard Feng Lingxi say this, immediately understanding, "Xi'er suspects her...""Grandpa, keep it down."Feng Ling beckoned to Xiaoli, instructing her in a low voice. Seeing Xiaoli respond and leave, he..."Is there still family in that world, Xi'er"

Although he was happy to hear this, there was a hint of sadness on Xier's face. She must still have some attachment to the people from her world after all these years together.

"My parents also have a younger brother."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, "Perhaps in their eyes, I might have already disappeared. Their sadness must have passed long ago."

And Du Gu Cheng told the secret he had kept hidden in his heart. Feng Ling Xi felt much lighter, at least she didn't feel like there was any deception anymore. If one day Du Gu Cheng really betrayed her, then she would leave this world without regrets.

"Is Xi'er really willing to stay here"

Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng, her eyes soft, "Do you still remember our promise back then If you don't betray me in this life, I will never leave."

"Stupid girl, how could this king betray you."

Dugu Cheng lovingly pulled her back into his embrace. "It is this king's honor to have married Xi'er in this lifetime."

Feng Ling Xi softly replied, "Alone in the city, to meet you in this lifetime is also my fortune."

Feng Ling Xi told this secret to Du Gu Cheng, opening her heart completely and accepting this man. To her, Du Gu Cheng was the most important man in her life. When she decided to tell him, she had already decided to stay by his side, to never betray herself, and to be with him for life.

獨孤城's heart wasn't as at ease as Feng Lingxi's. Feng Lingxi's words had shaken him deeply. Although Xi'er desperately assured him she wouldn't suddenly vanish, who could guarantee that her soul wouldn't leave one day

This night, the two of them talked late into the night by candlelight. It actually helped them understand many things. Dugu Cheng still hadn't told Feng Lingxi that he was the owner of Tianxiang Lou. He only promised that when things were settled, he would tell her the secret buried deepest in his heart.

The identity of the owner of Tianxianglou, is not that they are unwilling to say, but that they dare not say.

Too many people are involved, and the connections are too intricate. Once Xi'er found out, it would mean that news would spread throughout the land very soon. Many people are watching them now, and he acts cautiously for fear of being discovered.

Feng Lingxi was truly shocked by what she said to Dugu City. The secret hidden in the deepest part of her heart, looking at this man admired by the world, she really wanted to know, what kind of secret it was, that he guarded so closely.

However, Dugu Cheng said that was some things from his past, not a relationship issue, so she could rest assured.

Feng Lingxi returned a smile, without saying much.

Love, who doesn't have a past filled with love His brothers all do, but Dugu City has none.

Dugu Cheng told her that the reason he didn't look for a woman was that he didn't want to owe the woman he wanted to protect for his life, and besides, he didn't like his bedside companion plotting against him. If so, he would rather not marry.

This aligns with his views.

Feng Ling Xi agreed to marry Du Gu Cheng because of what she did that night. At first, Du Gu Cheng thought he would humiliate Feng Ling Xi if she wasn't good enough. However, he was unexpectedly moved by her and fell in love with her. Their relationship wasn't love at first sight, but a feeling that grew over time, which is also enviable.

"Your Highness, why are you in such a good mood"

Xiaoli looked at the smile on the princess's face. That day, the smile on the princess's face never disappeared. She would occasionally reveal a smile, as if she had eaten honey, sweet to the extreme.

Wind Ling's movements stopped, and she walked to the side to rest.

"It's just that some things I felt comfortable talking to Dugu City about, and it felt like there weren't any secrets weighing on my heart anymore. It was much more liberating."

Xiaoli thought of what the princess said yesterday, and she suddenly understood.

"Did the King also tell his Queen about the things he was hiding"

Feng Lingxi smiled, "He hasn't hidden anything from me, I was just being too suspicious."

Xiao Li covered her mouth and giggled, "The Princess is finally letting go of her knots. It's good this way, so she won't be as cold and ruthless as before. Her work style has also become much slower."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, she also felt the same way.

"That won't happen again."

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has summoned you to the palace."

The house steward reported, and Feng Lingxi's smile gradually disappeared. She ordered, "Xiao Li, go tidy up and follow me to the palace."

"Your Highness, the people from Shou'an Palace are waiting outside."

The steward reminded, noticing the vanished smile on the Crown Princess's face. After Feng Lingxi left, he had someone relay a message to the King, informing the Crown Princess of her whereabouts, lest she encounter any trouble.

Inside the Shou'an Palace, the wind and rain have already lasted for more than three months, but her abdomen has not yet grown, and her face is rosy and radiant. The clothes on her body are also better than before in countless ways.

Upon seeing Feng Lingxi enter, a smile bloomed on Feng Yu Xi's face. Her countenance was gracious and welcoming, displaying the bearing of a true motherly figure.

"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Empress."

"Your Highness, no need for formalities. I summoned you today because there is good news to share."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing her words, instinctively looked towards Feng Yuxi. Seeing her smile so pleasant, he figured this matter must have something to do with her as well.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"Take a seat."

Feng Lingxi sat down, and Feng Yu Xi opened her mouth.

"Earlier, the Fourth Royal Consort had a conversation with the Empress Dowager about receiving a title. The Empress Dowager has already issued an edict. Tomorrow, the decree will be announced, officially granting her husband the title of Duke of Protecting the Nation. She was specifically told to expect this."

Upon hearing the news of the conferment, Feng Lingxi was truly surprised. How could this be suddenly brought up again Moreover, Feng Yueting had not specified who it was being conferred upon. If it were her grandfather, would she have such a good complexion

Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Dowager Cen, "This concubine thanks the Empress Dowager for her grace, but she doesn't know who was bestowed upon"

Before Empress Cen could speak, Feng Yu Xi chimed in first, “Of course it's our father, Feng Ao Tian. Fourth Princess wouldn’t know A few days ago, Father found the Sixth Prince and escorted him back to the Sixth Prince's Manor. For his meritorious service in rescuing the prince, he was specially bestowed with a title.”

Is Dugu Xiu back

They were all looking for him, who could have guessed that Dugu Xiu would suddenly return and unexpectedly give Feng Aotien such a shocking benefit.

Feng Ling's heart was filled with countless doubts, but she didn't dare to show them.

Dugu Xiu rebelled. At first, we said we would punish him, but now, the Empress Dowager has actually bestowed the title of General Zhen Guo upon Feng Aotian. This shows that the court will not punish Dugu Xiu at all. His return is likely to cause chaos in the capital once more.

"Is the Fourth Princess unhappy with this expression"

Feng Yu Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold, looking at Feng Ling Xi with a warning gaze full of coldness. Whoever this person was, as long as they were from the General's Mansion and could be used by her, it would be good.

"There's something I want to ask Your Majesty, saving the Sixth Prince grants the title of Great General who guards the Nation, isn't this award too arbitrary My grandfather fought alongside the late Emperor for so many years, and he's only a mere general."

Empress Dowager Cen saw Feng Lingxi being challenged by Feng Yu Xi, and she still sided with Feng Lingxi. Since Feng Yu Xi became pregnant, her behavior in the palace had changed drastically, making Empress Dowager Cen feel a shift in the palace's atmosphere. If Feng Yu Xi continued this way, Empress Dowager Cen feared that the palace wouldn't be peaceful for long.th, she'll be completely healed. Most of the poison has been expelled.”"Doctor Li, excuse me for asking, but the princess's memory seems even more muddled. She can't remember things clearly. How long...
