Chapter 1323: Warclouds Gather

the princess from the Arah Summer Dynasty Hearing her speak, she didn't seem like Feng Lingxi at all."Rest assured, Your Highness. Since you're marrying into the family, how could you ever become a co..."As long as you understand my hard work, that's enough."

Mrs. Lu leaned against Lu Hao's shoulder, her face filled with contentment. She finally had his approval.

After the Lu family's carriage left from the Chen Wangfu, Feng Lingxi entered the mansion. Feng Aotien didn't leave immediately, but instead discussed matters with Dugu City in the front hall. Feng Lingxi didn't want to interfere too much, so she went about her own business.

"Xier's attitude towards her biological father had become somewhat cold. After all, he was still her father, and this made Lu Hao feel heartbroken."

Dugu Cheng had a helpless look on his face, but in his heart, he understood better than anyone else that Xi'er's attitude towards Lu Hao wasn't truly dislike. It was the current situation that forced her to act this way. If their interactions were more frequent, Feng Aotien watching would also not know what to say. Moreover, with the court paying such close attention, if they knew about Lu Jia's identity, it would only be more detrimental to them. Xi'er's actions were truly out of necessity.

"Xier is also following her stepmother's wishes. She cannot betray her stepmother's kindness in raising her."

Feng Aoti sighed, "Speaking of which, I also understand Wan Ying's temper. If she knew Xi'er had acknowledged Lu Hao, she would probably really sever ties with Xi'er as mother and daughter. When Wan Ying sold the house where she and Lu Hao lived, it showed how strong her temper was."

Dugu City looked at Feng Aotian's helplessness in his eyes, thinking that this matter had been investigated, and he was just waiting for Feng Aotian to return to Beijing.

"Lord Chen, I have something I would like to ask, but I don't know if it is appropriate to inquire"

"General Zhen Guo asks."

Dugu City's attitude was very polite. Looking at Feng Aotiān's tangled expression, it seemed that he had something to ask of him.

“I wanted to ask where Easy and Yumei are now I came today, but I didn’t see either of them. Not even Xiao Mi came to see me.” He had gotten along with them for a while in the capital city before, and he thought he treated his daughter-in-law well, but he didn't see anyone.

Yi Xuan is not in Linxi County, he's out on business. Yu Mo is at the military camp, busy training battle formations these days. As for Xiaomi, she seems to be quite busy these two days, I haven't seen her for several days.

Then did she get pregnant

Feng Aotian finally asked what he had been thinking, the Feng family hadn't had any descendants until now. He hoped that Yi Xuan could have a child sooner, even if it was here, there was still a thought in his heart.

"Not yet, the last incident hit them quite hard. Xiaomi is still recovering. If there's good news, this King will have someone send word to the General."

"Then, many thanks to the Chen King."

Feng Aotian bowed his hands to Dugu City and said, "Your Majesty's matter, the Prince of Chen must also hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to complete the task."

"Rest assured, General. I will do my best."

Feng Aotian was now satisfied. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he left the General's Mansion.

"My lord, can we trust this General Zhen Guo He's Feng Yu Xi's father after all. With Feng Yu Xi now fighting fiercely with Huangfu Qingyun in the Chao Xia Dynasty, could he be deliberately here to pry information from us"

Ye Xi opened her mouth, seeing the King's expression grave. Thinking about the investigation over the past few days, she became even more worried.

"The whereabouts of Feng Yu Xi and Feng Ao Tian have nothing to do with each other. It was Luo Li's doing. It's a matter from early summer, so don't tell Xi Er for now. Let's investigate first before we say anything."

Dugu Cheng reminded her, he didn't want Xi'er to worry about this.

"My Lord, the Crown Princess is so concerned about Prince Huofeng's affairs. If we don't tell her about the situation in the Aohan Dynasty, I fear that when she finds out, she will blame you. I think it's best to tell her, Your Highness. The Crown Princess is not unreasonable..."

Ye Xi's words were cut short by Dugu Cheng's raised eyebrows, which frightened her into silence.

"My subordinate is too talkative." After saying that, he even slapped himself lightly.

Ye Xi, didn't you forget what this king told you The overall situation comes first.

Ye Xi apologized, Dugu City took a deep breath.

It's because Xier is intelligent and understands the situation. This matter was something I deliberately chose not to tell her for now, so as not to add to her worries. With Lu family coming over these days, she's already quite troubled. I don't want her to be worried about the affairs of Emperor Xia.

"My subordinate acknowledges his mistake."

獨孤城 isn't unwilling to tell Feng Lingxi, but he is temporarily withholding information. Some matters haven't been fully investigated yet. Once the reason is clear, he'll tell her. At least this way, Feng Lingxi has some time to process and cope.

These days, seeing her troubled by the matter of recognizing her family through Lu, how could he bear to tell her about Huaxiang's affair Besides, Huaxiang's matter had nothing to do with Xi'er, there was no need for Xi'er to meddle.

On the third day, Lu Hao and Mrs. Lu left Linxi County. Accompanying them when they left the city were Lu Yi and Lu Xuan, their two brothers. As for Lu Nian, she saw them off at the city gate but did not leave with them.

By the time Feng Ling Xi heard the news of Lu Hao's departure, it had been an hour since they left. Despite this, she still instructed Xiao Li to prepare a horse and went out once. At the city gate, she saw that there was no trace of the Lu family's carriage. She let out a sigh and then took Xiao Li to Yipinxiang.

"Your Majesty, I just asked. The eldest son hasn't left. He is still at the First Grade Fragrance."

"He didn't leave"

Feng Lingxi heard that Lu Nian was still there, so she hurriedly asked the waiter to inquire. Lu Nian had indeed not left; he had only sent Lu Hao and the others out of the city. However, news of Lu Hao and their departure had already reached Feng Aotian at the relay station. Feng Aotian's informants also confirmed that Lu Hao and the others had left Linxi County before returning.

Is your boss upstairs now

Feng Lingxi asked the waiter, seeing him nod, Feng Lingxi got up and walked towards the third floor. These people who enjoyed fine fragrance all knew Feng Lingxi and also knew her good relationship with Lu Nian, so they naturally wouldn't pull her over.

"Your Highness, would you like to go see if the Chieftain is in Room Number One"

It doesn't really matter whether he is here or not. Apart from Lu Nian, everyone else in the Lu family has left. Everything that needed to be said has already been said.

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and went upstairs. As soon as she got there, she heard voices coming from above. She walked over and saw that Lu Nian was drinking with Luo Li Li Wu Yan. When they saw Feng Lingxi arrive, the three of them were stunned.

"Sister, how did you come here"

Lu Nian got up, beaming with joy, and pulled Feng Lingxi down to sit beside her.

"Come sit down, we were just talking about you."

"What's up" Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli and Li Wuyan, nodding her greeting.

"Tell me about how you and Dugu City broke up, and then how you gave birth to Wan'er by yourself after going to the Yao tribe."

Luo Li gave Feng Ling a cup of wine, "I still remember you back then, you were truly like a female hero, decisive and swift in your actions, unlike now where you hesitate so much."

"As you know, things were different back then, and now my situation isn't as good as it used to be."

Feng Lingxi took a sip of wine, her eyes falling on Luo Li. "I still remember the former chieftain. I admired him very much. He always thought of the Yao tribe in everything he did. But..."

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Luo Li, "You still don't understand the chief"finished speaking, Shu Taifei gave him a withering look. “I’m not going to argue with you. I’ve recovered a bit, but after all this time, you still haven’t managed to get Xi'er pregnant. Truly useless...
