Chapter 1490: Liuli Purple Star 29
er. After talking for so long, all she wanted was to examine her. What a cunning Wind Lingxi, she actually tricked her."Dare you"Feng Lingxi glanced at Empress Cen once more, then continued, "Well, if...Dugu Cheng couldn't help but laugh, Feng Ling Xi turned her head and glared at him, "What are you laughing at"
"No... no."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's stuttering appearance and suddenly couldn't get angry. When did he become like this, and when he spoke to her, he stuttered
"Don't follow me."
Dugu Cheng let out a sound, and followed up again. Feng Ling Xi turned around angrily and glared at him.
"Didn't I tell you not to follow me"
Dugu Cheng pointed to the road ahead. "My courtyard is over there."
Feng Lingxi gave way, making a path. "You go first."
Dugu Cheng hummed in response, then walked forward, but after a few steps, he stopped and turned to Feng Lingxi, "That's not all I wanted to say."
"Said."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's current expression. She really couldn't get angry. She kept telling herself that it was because she wanted to have a clear conversation with him, so he wouldn't keep pestering her with questions.
"When I get back, I'll explain to my mother clearly that Siyu and Siqi are your children. I'll tell her not to fight you for them anymore. But she definitely won't listen to me, so you should be more careful and make sure she doesn't take them away."
"Hmm."
Dugu City thought for a moment, "Also, regarding today's incident, this king will have the General of National Security handle it properly. That bully and the county magistrate will receive due punishment. If they extorted the people and there is evidence, all the wealth obtained will be returned to the people."
"Hmm."
Duguxing saw Fengling approaching and could only hum. This day was impossible to continue talking.
"It's fine, Your Majesty shall be taking his leave first."
Now even a grunt was gone, Dugu City left dejectedly.
Feng Lingxi saw Dugu City walk away, and then she walked toward the kitchen.
After Feng Lingxi personally cooked, General Feng's appetite improved a lot. Basically, whatever Feng Lingxi cooked, he ate without being picky.
However, even with Feng Lingxi's best care, she couldn't keep the old general. On the third day, after the old general finished his last dinner cooked by Feng Lingxi, Feng Lingxi just returned to her own courtyard when she heard that the old general had passed away. It all happened within the time of a single cup of tea.
Feng Lingxi rushed to her grandfather's room, but her grandfather had already passed away.
The General's Mansion was draped in white. Feng Ling Xi knelt before her grandfather's spirit tablet, not uttering a word, nor shedding a tear.
A steady stream of mourners came and went, adding to the somber atmosphere at the general's residence.
Three days later, after the old general's funeral, Feng Aotiān finally began to deal with the county magistrate and the bully Yu Youliang. However, what Dugu Cheng worried about most was Feng Lingxi's next itinerary. With the old general gone, Feng Lingxi would definitely return to Xigu Country, and he didn't want her to leave just like that.
"Xier, what are your plans next"
Feng Aotian asked, this period of time thanks to Xi'er taking care of his father, allowing him to fulfill his last grievance before he died, leaving without regrets.
"Not planning to at the moment."
She still wanted to meet Luoli once, she had to ask about Wan'er's affairs clearly, and besides, she also wanted Wan'er to be by her side. She just didn't know if Dugucheng would let her go
After all, she didn't take Wan'er away at the beginning. Now, I'm afraid it's even more out of the question.
"Would you like to come back with me, Yixuan and Xiaomi miss you so much, they had a baby..."
"I'm not going back."
Feng Lingxi interrupted Feng Aotiān's words. She knew that Feng Aotiān truly wanted her to return, but she didn't want to step into the capital city. There were no people or things there that she longed for anymore. The only person she couldn't bear to leave was Wan'er.
"Please tell them hello for me. I thought they were coming too, so I was looking forward to seeing them again. Now that they aren't, you tell them that I will go see them when I have time." Although this "someday" might be a lifetime away, Feng Lingxi could only say it like that.
"Okay."
Feng Aotian paused for a moment, "Take care of yourself. If anything happens, come to me, and I'll do my best to help you."
"May I ask you a few questions Would that be convenient"
Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, then saw Feng Aotien nod. The two walked to the pavilion in the garden and stopped.
"Ask me anything you want."
"Where has Yu Mo been all these years Do you have any news about him I want to see him."
I heard Yu Mo went to find her, I wonder if Feng Aotian has any news about him.
"No, that child has a big prejudice against me. I learned from the Prince Chen that he went to find you. I also wanted him to come find me and say something to me, but the child knew we were looking for him, so he hid, and there's been no word from him."
"That's just like her," Feng Lingxi smiled wryly, "It's really something I brought up. I wonder if the news of her coming out will reach Yu Mo's ears this time. That way, she could see him too."
"Can you do me a favor"
Feng Ling hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, "I want to ask you a favor. If you see Yu Mo, tell him that I'm looking for him and ask him to come find me." Yu Mo didn't want to be under Dugu City's command. If he could find him, maybe they could do something together.
"Don't worry, I'll let him know. He probably would have come looking for you even before I got a chance to tell him."
Feng Lingxi responded and looked at Feng Aotien. Although he had been very unkind to her in the past, he had indeed done quite well in the year after that. Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotien, "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."
"Xier, there's one more thing you didn't ask me."
Feng Aotien glanced around, "It's Sun Cheng and the others."
Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up instantly when Feng Aotian took the initiative to mention them, "You have news about them"
"Yes, after the Crown Prince handed over his military power, they all left together. Before they left, they came to me and said they were returning to the Yao Clan and would be waiting for you there."
They went to the Yao people, but that's fine.
At least they're still alive. Back then, when we taught them how to make gunpowder, we thought it would come in handy. Over the years, she's put in a lot of effort and done a lot, but nothing has been used.
It's kinda funny to think about.
"Is there anything else you want to ask I'll tell you everything."
Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Five years passed, and he had more reluctance towards Feng Lingxi. He truly treated her as his own biological daughter. Only he knew that he was not worthy. All he could do was to make her life better.
"There are things I want to know, things you don't know either, like what happened to my mother."
Feng Lingxi let out a self-deprecating chuckle, “Why make things difficult for you”
"I know where your mother is. She contacted me last year."
"My mother contacted you, when last year"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, glancing around and lowering her voice, "Is she alright"
“She came to me last year and gave me something to keep for her, saying that she would give it to you when she saw you. She just came in such a hurry this time that I hid the thing in the study's secret compartment of the General's Mansion in the capital.”
Feng Lingxi frowned, another fragment. Was it from an ancient scroll again
After Lady Lu told her that the fragments of those scrolls were treasure maps of the Yao clan, Feng Lingxi became quite interested in them. Her mother had worked so hard to collect them, they must be related to the treasure maps of the Yao clan. and buy pastries at Yipxiang for Feng Lingxi and Wan'er. As for Lu Nian, he seemed to have vanished from the capital, and those sent to keep an eye on him had lost track of him.Feng Lingxi was placed...
