Chapter 1020: Metamorphosis 94

out to go in, two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bumped into them."Miss, are you alright"Xiao Li hurriedly helped her young mistress, and seeing that she was unharmed, shouted angrily at...Feng Yixuan frowned, "But I just saw that she wasn't as bad as you said." It was Feng Yu Xi who had nothing but hatred for Feng Ling Xi. And, she opened her mouth and demanded the other's military power, wanting everything she had.

If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to give either.

Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Yi Xuan like this, her anger rising and she wanted to slap him twice.

"Foolish."

"Alright, things have come to this, so let's just stop arguing. Your brother hasn't recovered his memory yet, so naturally he can't remember anything. You need to be patient." Feng Aotien looked at the soldiers in front of him, "Let's go back to the inn and talk about it later."

"Father, how are we going to handle this now This Dugu City is truly despicable. He actually handed over military power to Feng Lingxi while we were here. I'm afraid it will be impossible for us to take back the military power this time."

"The imperial decree is still here. No matter how unruly, could Dugu City defy the emperor's will"

Feng Aotian glanced at the city, “Don't think too much about it. This matter shouldn't be rushed. What Feng Lingxi said is right, this is the Yaozu's territory. We didn't bring many people here this time, we should think things through carefully.”

"Father is right, I was rash."

Feng Yu Xi quickly adjusted her mindset. She saw Feng Ling Xi and easily lost control, nearly forgetting the task given to her by Shang Tou.

"Go back first."

Feng Aotien reminded, looking at the soldiers beside him, to go back and tell the emperor.

"Xi'er, your method still works."

Du Gucheng frowned, "This matter, Feng Aotiān probably won't let it go. He will definitely find a reason to ask for military power again. What's more, he came here with an imperial decree in hand."

"If there's no imperial decree, wouldn't it just be your word against mine"

Feng Ling Xi's words caused Dugu Cheng to furrow his brows, "You mean you want to destroy the imperial edict"

This is a way out, and as long as the news doesn't get out, this matter can only remain in our stomachs.

“There's no point arguing with them, and besides, even if we gave them military power, they wouldn't let us off the hook. In the end, it would all come down to the same thing anyway, so why bother”

Dugu Cheng responded, but this time as the Fengyu Xi approached, he felt something different about it. It didn't seem as calm and collected as before.

"Xier, do you think this evening rain is true"

"It's true, I just couldn't control myself when I saw her." Feng Lingxi thought of Feng Yuxi's gaze, it couldn't have been fake.

"Once she calms down, she will reveal the true purpose of her trip."

After some thought, Dugucheng instructed, "Go back and rest first. I'll go out for a bit."

"Come back soon."

Feng Lingxi sent Dugu Cheng off and didn't go straight back to the county office. Instead, she strolled through the streets, buying some treats for Wan'er and Xiao Mi.

"Xiao Li, order everyone to keep a close eye on the inn. Don't let any news slip out."

"Your Highness, if this wind and rain continues..."

"I forbid any news of her arrival in Linxi County from being spread. She must have a purpose for coming here, so just keep an eye on her. As for the rest, we'll discuss it later."

Given the circumstances of this trip, she guessed it might have something to do with the Yao clan. She had previously researched that Feng Yu Xi's mother was also a member of the Yao clan. If her suspicions were correct and Feng Yu Xi was indeed connected to the Yao clan, then she had a bold hypothesis, but she wasn't sure if it was true.

Feng Lingxi returned to the county office. Tian Xiaomi went up to her with a worried face, "He didn't come"

"No."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tian Xiaomi, "If you want to see him, you can have him come."

"No need, I just want to know if he has turned bad." If she had given Feng Yixuan the medicine back then, perhaps there wouldn't be these worries now. She was afraid of letting Feng Lingxi down.

"You have to believe in him." Feng Lingxi patted her shoulder and smiled faintly, "At least as far as I can see, I'm still quite satisfied with him."

"You mean, he won't disappoint you"

"I won't let you down."

Feng Lingxi could see that Feng Yixuan cared about Tian Xiaomiao, not his identity. He just didn't know if he could accept that Tian Xiaomiao knew who he was from the beginning but kept it a secret from him.

"I'm just worried he'll put you in an awkward position."

"Just do whatever you like, I can handle everything here."

Tian Xiaomi bit her lip, silent.

As Dugu City had guessed, Feng Aotian arrived at the post house and immediately sent a message back to the capital. However, before the message could be sent out, it was intercepted by his people, effectively sealing them all within the post house. Not even a fly could get out.

Feng Aotian waited for several days at the inn, but the news he sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response whatsoever. This result made him realize the gravity of the situation; Duguo City had blocked all information.

After much deliberation, Feng Aoti decided to take the imperial decree to see him.

"Just report to the Four Kings that this General wants to see them."

Linxi County and the post station, one inside the city and one outside, were kept out of the capital by Dugu City. They could only stay at the post station, and what made Feng Aotiang most angry was that they had to report before seeing Dugu City.

Although Feng Yu Xi was angry, she still held back. After all, as her father said, in the current situation, she had to stay calm.

Duke Cheng agreed to meet Feng Aotiān. Feng Yu Xi and Feng Yi Xuan could accompany him, but no one else was allowed into the county office. Feng Aotiān had to agree to this condition before he could see Duke Cheng.

Although he didn't know why Dugucheng wanted to meet Feng Yixuan, he still brought him along.

In the main hall of the county government, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng sat there, watching as Feng Aotians three entered. Feng Aotian strode forward, "This subordinate greets the Fourth Prince and Princess."

Please sit, General of the Nation.

Du Gu Cheng did not sit down, but instead took out the imperial edict and looked at them, “Fourth Prince, the Emperor's imperial edict, please accept it.”

Dugu Cheng and Feng Ling Xi looked at each other, then knelt down.

"By Heaven's mandate, the Emperor decrees: Today, General Feng Aotian is appointed to assume command of the 500,000 soldiers of Duke Dugu City. He is granted the title of Marquis Protector of the State and tasked with guarding the border. Duke Dugu City shall return to the capital immediately upon receiving this decree."

"Fourth Lord, receive the imperial decree."

Feng Aotian was full of pride. After all, he was the Marquis Wending, and these 500,000 soldiers were what he needed to stay here.

Dugu Cheng stood up, took the imperial edict, and looked at what was written on it. Suddenly, he smiled.

"Duke of the Nation"

Feng Lingxi took the imperial edict and glanced at it. Xiao Li entered with a brazier, Feng Lingxi threw the imperial edict into the brazier, the edict ignited, Feng Aotien's face changed drastically, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess Consort, you are bold, to dare burn an imperial edict."

"Fourth Royal Wife, did you call me"

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotiān, "What imperial edict When did I burn an imperial edict Did you see it"

Everyone inside the county office shook their heads and said no.

Feng Ao's face turned ashen. "You... you actually dared to burn the imperial edict This general will definitely report this to the emperor and severely punish you for your offense."

"Let's talk about it once you're out of Linxi County."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Aotien, “The Imperial Court has given you your tasks, now we should have a proper conversation about us.”

"Feng Ling Xi, what on earth are you trying to do"

They dared to burn the imperial edict. It seems they were already prepared to do this. Even if they didn't take it, they would have found a way to steal and dispose of the edict.own Princess have any talents that can rival those of the Fourth Royal Wife"The Empress suddenly spoke, and the Crown Princess came to her senses, hurriedly saying, "Mother Empress, the Fourth Princes...
