Chapter 340: Seize the Throne 95
wants to take away my dowry, forcing me to marry a deceased man." Feng Lingxi's voice grew colder, her gaze towards them turning increasingly icy."May I ask Father, do you consider me your daughter Do..."Who said recovering your memory allows you to go to bed"
Dugu Cheng's expression gradually stiffened, looking at that expression, extremely depressed.
"Are you still mad"
Feng Lingxi ignored him, closing her eyes and falling asleep in a moment. Dugu Cheng watched her sleeping face, reaching out to cover her with the blanket. His eyes were gentle as he caressed the strands of hair on her forehead, revealing a smile.
It seems like Xier has been truly exhausted lately.
When she woke up, Feng Lingxi saw that Dugu City was not in the room. She looked confused. Was this a dream or had Dugu City really returned
"Xiǎolì."
Feng Lingxi shouted, got up and went outside. Looking at the bright sky, she wondered if she had slept through the night and dreamed that Duguxing had come back and said those words to her Thinking of Duguxiu's request, Feng Lingxi's expression suddenly turned cold. She wanted to know the latest situation.
"Your Majesty, you're awake"
Xiaoli carried breakfast over and saw the Princess getting up. She quickly brought the breakfast over.
"Xiao Li, have there been any news from Du Gu Xiu Has Xue Wu Shang come to find me"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked what was troubling her heart, her greatest worry being the safety of her mother.
Xiao Li comforted, "Your Highness, please rest assured. The Madam has returned, she only sustained minor injuries. The King asked the military doctor to treat her wounds. After Your Highness had breakfast, you went to see her."
"Did Dugu City really come back"
Feng Lingxi heard Xiaoli mention Dugu City, and only then did she understand that this was not a dream. Dugu City had really returned.
It seems she's really exhausted, even blurring the lines between dreams and reality.
Xiao Li was stunned, looking at the Queen's bewildered eyes, and worriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright The King came back yesterday, how come you seem to not remember"
Feng Lingxi rubbed her temples, "Perhaps I was too tired yesterday, and a little confused. Where's mother I'll go see her."
"Your Highness, eat breakfast first and then..."
"I'm not hungry."
Wind Ling went out, Xiao Li put down breakfast and chased after her.
"How is it going"
Dugu Cheng looked at Yao Wan Ying lying on the bed with worry etched on his face. Seeing her injuries, his eyes were filled with concern. If Xi'er saw Yue Mu's condition, she would probably rush to Dugu Xiu's side and confront him. That beast, Dugu Xiu, was capable of anything.
Just one day, and it's turned people like this.
"Your Grace, please rest assured. Most of the injuries on Her Highness are superficial wounds. She'll be fine with a little rest."
The military doctor finished treating Yao Wan Ying's wound, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Nobody is allowed to tell Xier about this, lest she worry."
Dugu Cheng ordered, Ye Xi looked at Feng Aotian who was equally wounded, "Your Highness, do you save him or not"
It's too late.
Feng Ling Xi walked in and saw her mother lying on the bed. She quickly stepped forward, grabbing her mother's hand to feel her pulse. Seeing that her pulse was weak, Feng Ling Xi rolled up her mother's sleeves and looked at the bloodstains on her arms. Her face turned cold, and a layer of murderous intent appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Fourth Princess, I promise to save your mother, but I don't have the power to protect her completely. You should also know that it's not easy to get out of Dugu Xiu's camp."
When Xue Wu Shang saw Feng Ling move, he was enraged and thought she was going to go back on her word about his terms. He explained himself.
"All of you get out, I want my mother to treat my wounds."
Feng Lingxi coldly spoke, Xiao Li saw them still standing there, hurriedly said, "Your Highness, why don't you let the Empress heal Madam"
"All of you, get out."
獨孤城 ordered, looking at Xi'er's eyes hidden with murderous intent, he only hoped that Xi'er could stay calm.
As soon as the door closed, Dugu City watched the tightly shut door with a worried look and instructed Xiaoli, "You watch over the Princess. If anything happens, notify me immediately. I have something to discuss with Wushang."
"Ye Xi, have the military doctor treat Feng Aotian's wounds. Don't let him die. Keep him alive until Xi'er deals with him."
Dugu Cheng finished his instructions and then left with Xue Wushang.
Feng Ling Xi untied her mother's clothes, and seeing the bloodstains on her inner garment, she was horrified. The crisscrossing whip marks were shocking. What had that bastard Dugu Xiu done to her mother Why did he beat her like this
A trembling hand reached out to help his mother treat her wounds.
Yao Wan'ying frowned in pain, but there was no sign of waking up. Her pale, bloodless face made Feng Lingxi feel heartbroken just looking at her.
"Mother, why are you so foolish Didn't you say you didn't love him Why did you save him without even saying hello Is it worth it for him"
Wind Ling Xi, after tending to her wounds, found herself unable to calm down. She reprimanded him with a questioning tone.
"He's your father."
Yao Wan'ying's lips moved slightly, her voice extremely weak, and her eyes slowly opened. Feng Lingxi saw that she was awake and immediately asked, "How do you feel Where are you uncomfortable"
"Where's your father Is he alright"
Feng Lingxi heard her mother ask about her father at this time, and her face darkened, very unhappy.
"At this point, you're still concerned about him If he truly had any remorse for you, how could he put you in such danger"
"He was framed."
Yaowan held her hand, her eyes full of worry, "Xi'er, your father actually still cares about you."
"Hush now, focus on healing."
Feng Lingxi withdrew her hand, unwilling to hear her speak well of Feng Aotiān.
Yao Wan'ying looked at Xi'er like that, seeing her dabbing medicine on her wound with her head down. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
"Xi'er, even if your mother dies, don't hand over Zixing."
Yao Wan Ying coughed, speaking with a wheeze, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly helped her regulate her breath.
"I understand, just rest now."
Feng Lingxi stood up, "I'll go get medicine for you."
"Xier, Yao Feifei is in Dugu Xiu's hands."
Yao Wanting panted and said, she knew Xi'er now hated Duguxiu so much that she wanted to kill him, but she had to stay calm and not impulsively seek revenge.
Feng Lingxi's footsteps came to a halt. She turned to look at her mother, her eyes full of confusion. Seeing her mother nod, Feng Lingxi clenched her fists and walked out. Yao Wan'ying struggled to get up and shouted loudly, "Xi'er, come back..."
With a thud, Yao Wan Ying fell to the bed. Feng Ling Xi, who had not walked far, heard the sound and turned back. She saw her mother on the ground and went over to help her up onto the bed.
"Xier, don't be impulsive."
Yao Wanying clutched her hand, panting heavily, afraid that if she let go, Xi'er would go to Dugu Xiu to settle the score.
"Dugu is ruthless, don't act impulsively."
"Mother, I didn't say I was going to find him. I just want to find a place to calm down."
Looking at the pleading and fear in her mother's eyes, Feng Lingxi finally gave up on the idea of going to settle accounts with Dugu Xiu.
When she heard this, Yao Wan-ying felt a little better.
Feng Lingxi tucked the blanket around her, “Mother, I’m going for a walk. You have a good sleep. I’ll come back later to see you.”
"Xier, go and see how your father is doing. Even if he's beyond saving, he's still your father. And if you save him, the Empress Dowager will be one powerful general short."
Feng Ling Xi responded, first stabilizing her mother's emotions before speaking. As for whether to save her or not, that was ultimately her decision.f her lips, “What is there to think about This has already been made clear. It's just like what Lu Nian and the others said, we can probably guess.”That’s true.Dugu City saw the wind and was excited,...
