Chapter 1237: The Smoke of War

his own sword to Dugu Xiu's throat, its cold light piercing the night. Ye Xi hurried forward and subdued Dugu Xiu, and all of Dugu Xiu's men were also taken down."Fourth Brother, you slander me so bla..."What's there to fear The Prime Minister is watching us, and we are watching him. Isn't this just perfect The more he wants the military power in my hands, the less I can give it to him."

He wanted to see if this Chancellor was really as capable as they claimed, able to take military power from him.

Ye Xi didn't know why the Lord suddenly changed his mind, but she still responded.

As Dugu City said, Ye Xi stared at the Xiangguo Mansion, and on the second day, the Xiangguo Mansion discovered them. At the same time, the Xiangguo Mansion also knew that they were watching the Chen Wangfu, and Chen Wang discovered it as well.

Dugu Cheng offered no explanation, only instructed Ye Xi to follow his previous orders 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 in Dugu City's mansion to recuperate from her injuries and was forbidden from being visited by anyone. After she was injured, she didn't allow anyone to visit, which made people curious.

Feng Lingxi recuperated for several days, and the wound on her arm had mostly healed. However, she still looked pale.

Although she hadn't sustained any serious injuries, her arm was badly wounded. Dugu Cheng claimed to the outside world that Feng Lingxi was unwell, and no one dared to speak up. However, there was a lot of discussion about it.

After several days in the capital, with the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet over, Dugu Cheng submitted a request to depart for Linxi County three days later. However, Emperor Yuan Zhao intercepted his petition.

The reason was that Princess Consort Chen's injuries had not yet healed, so she could not leave the capital without permission. Afterward, Emperor Yuan Zhao also sent a lot of precious medicinal herbs to the Chen王府. The Empress Dowager even took this opportunity to send Feng Lingxi a Tian Shan snow lotus.

On this day, Dugongcheng knew that Shan Xuelian was a unique treasure. This honorific title bestowed by the King on his Empress Dowager as a birthday gift was subsequently granted to Feng Lingxi. This alone proved the Empress Dowager's special affection for Feng Lingxi.

"Unexpectedly, the emperor still rejected it." Dugu City looked at the imperial decree in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems he really doesn't intend to let this king go so easily."

Emperor Taizu really wanted to get his hands on this military power.

"Just stay. It's fine, after all, we didn't expect to leave the capital this smoothly this time. If we can't leave, then I'll just head back to the General Zhen Guo's Mansion."

"Feng Lingxi wants to go back to Zhen Guojian's mansion" Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, Dugu City frowned.

"I'm afraid if she goes back at this time, it would cause trouble for Xi'er again."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a smile, "You don't have to worry about this. Since I said I would go, I naturally thought of a way. With Feng Yixuan taking Tian Xiaomi back, if Tian Xiaomi feels unwell and wants to see me for medical treatment, who else could say no"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I might as well take this opportunity to go back. I can use seeing a doctor as an excuse and also check on how the General Zhen Guo's mansion is treating Tian Xiaomi She is my good friend, so it wouldn't be too much for me to visit her, would it"

"You think that way, they don't."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "If we have to worry about so much, I'm afraid we won't even be able to go."

"Alright, let's just take a break and go for a walk."

Dugu City pulled Feng Lingxi down to sit, "This king will accompany you there then. Anyway, we can't go back, so it's better to take a look. When Feng Aotian was in Tumuzhen, he treated you quite well. Maybe this time when we go back, we can get some information out of him."

Feng Lingxi responded in a voice that was both eager and hesitant. Her primary goal was to return to her mother's courtyard for a thorough search, hoping to uncover any clues left behind by her mother.

On the way, she also asked Feng Aotian about news of her biological father. Although Feng Lingxi wasn't the original owner, Lu Nian's appearance made her change her mind. Feng Lingxi figured it out, if she wanted to protect herself and those around her, she needed more family and strength. She needed to constantly become stronger, only then could she protect the people she wanted to guard.

These days, Du Gucheng wouldn't let her go out. She knew it was because he was afraid that if her injuries weren't fully healed, someone would come looking for trouble again and she would suffer another injustice. The news of her injury had already spread, and she had heard what others were saying about her.

That day, Feng Lingxi sent a letter to Tian Xiaomǐ. The next morning, Tian Xiaomǐ sent someone to invite her to the General's Mansion to see her doctor. Feng Lingxi naturally agreed. Dugu City did not hide it either, and took Feng Lingxi to the Zhen Guo General's Mansion by carriage. This was the first time Dugu City had taken Feng Lingxi out after returning to Beijing, and they were going to the Zhen Guo General's Mansion. This rumor spread all over the capital.

The news of Feng Lingxi going to Zhen Guogong's mansion quickly reached the imperial palace. Emperor Yuan Zhao was very surprised to hear this news, but after hearing that it was Feng Yixuan's wife who invited Feng Lingxi to visit and check on her health, he realized the relationship between Feng Lingxi and Tian Xiaomi, so he wasn't too surprised.

Feng Aotiān has always wanted Feng Yixuan to return to the General's Mansion. This time, when Feng Lingxi returned to Beijing, Feng Aotiān let Feng Yixuan go back with her. Feng Aotiān is already indebted to Feng Lingxi for this, plus the relationship between Tian Xiaomi and Feng Lingxi, and the relationship between Feng Lingxi and the General of Zhen Guo, it's hard to say.

Feng Lingxi's arrival at the General's Mansion of Zhen Guo was a sensation in the capital. Many wondered why Feng Lingxi would return to the General's Mansion again, and new speculations arose about the relationship between Feng Aotien and Feng Lingxi.

As for Feng Lingxi, this time when she returned to Zhen Guo General's Mansion, what surprised her was that Feng Aotien was actually at the mansion. Moreover, upon learning of her arrival, he personally greeted them, treating them as honored guests. This kind of treatment was something Feng Lingxi had never experienced before.

"Crown Prince, Crown Princess."

Feng Aotien greeted them. Feng Lingxi saw Feng Aotien's eyes looking at her with a kind gaze, and nodded. Feng Aotien’s eyes shifted to Feng Lingxi’s right arm. Having heard she was injured a few days ago, he was relieved to see her looking normal now.

"General Zhen Guo, I apologize for the intrusion."

Feng Aotian gave a greeting, and Feng Yixuan stepped forward to meet him, "Sister Xi'er, brother-in-law, let's go see Xiaomi first. She said this morning that she wasn't feeling well, and this drowsy state has really worried me."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this, turned to Dugu City and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go see Xiao Mi, her body isn't feeling well."

"Be careful."

Dugu City's eyes were gentle. Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Aotien, then followed Feng Yixuan to find Tian Xiaomi.

Although Feng Aotiān knew that Feng Lingxi and Tian Xiaomi had a good relationship, he didn't expect that at this critical moment, when Tian Xiaomi said she wasn't feeling well, she would come immediately. It seems like this daughter-in-law is not bad; she can be useful.

"King Chen, I heard that the Crown Princess was injured. I wonder how she is doing now"

"Thank you, General Zhen Guo, for your concern. Xi'er's injuries have improved and she will be fine in a few days."

Feng Aotian let out a breath of relief and invited Dugu City to take a seat, politely inquiring about his well-being.

Feng Yixuan brought Feng Lingxi to his courtyard. Seeing that no one was around, Feng Yixuan hurriedly said, "Sister Xi'er, your mother's courtyard is now abandoned. Your father doesn't allow the current mistress to live there. I'll take you there. See if you can find anything. I've been several times and haven't found anything."g Lingxi had been in the prison these days, and her body was indeed feeling quite exhausted. She had always thought it was due to the many things she had been dealing with these days, causing both men...
