Chapter 1297: War Clouds Gather

to Feng Yu Xi's side holding the medicine. Feng Ao Tian looked at the medicine in Xiao Li's hand, his eyes full of disbelief. He knew Xi Er was good at medicine, but he didn't know how skilled she wa...Feng Lingxi looked up at Dugu City. If she could, she would have had her guards stop him long ago.

Otherwise, just go with the flow. Your mother said not to recognize your father, but she didn't say you can't recognize these brothers of yours. Think about it, when you were at General's Mansion before, you tried to be good to them, but they wouldn't even talk to you. Though Lu Nian and the others aren't from the same mother as you, they've always been good to you. Having more brothers isn't a bad thing.

Feng Lingxi had thought about this many times, but she didn't want to disobey her mother's wishes. After all, if she were in her mother's position, facing such a man, she wouldn't let her daughter acknowledge him either.

"Enough of that, you went out yesterday because of someone you had a crush on, didn't you"

Dugu City shook his head, "No, Ye Mei's side came with news, saying that there was some progress in the matter of the Fifth Prince, asking this King to get the information."

"Five Kings Why would you bring him up all of a sudden"

When Dugu Cheng left the capital, he didn't tell Feng Lingxi that the emperor had asked him to investigate Dugu Feng's whereabouts. Now here, Dugu Cheng saw no need to hide it from her.

"The Emperor's meaning."

Dugu Cheng sighed deeply, "When this king left the palace that year, the emperor gave me this imperial decree. But after returning, I asked Tianxiang Building to investigate, but there was no news. This Dugu Feng disappeared together with Xianfei when they left, it's really too difficult to find."

"Didn't father ever look for them, mother and son"

"I've looked everywhere, but there's no trace of him. I don't remember much about Dugu Feng. I can only follow the clues given by the Emperor, but this search is like looking for a needle in a haystack; it's incredibly difficult."

When it came to Duguo Feng, Feng Lingxi truly knew very little about this Fifth Prince. She only knew that he had disappeared, but his princely status remained intact. It was just a matter of time before he reappeared.

"What clues are there"

"No."

Dugu City frowned, "The Imperial Concubine seems to have no intention of letting us find him. She's hidden very well. All the clues related to the Imperial Concubine from back then are gone, there's simply no way to start."

"Did the Emperor insist you find this"

This is too difficult, letting Dugu Cheng investigate wouldn't it be deliberately making him feel embarrassed

“I didn’t say anything, but if you can’t find it, you have to keep looking. It’s almost time anyway. Recently, the imperial court hasn’t been treating me well, has it The Empress Dowager hasn’t given any news either. However, I heard that there have been frequent disputes between the Emperor and Prince Yu recently, always disagreeing with each other.”

Since entering the palace, news of Empress Dowager has been scarce. Besides, they all knew that despite being Empress Dowager, she was still a pawn manipulated by the Emperor in his game against Duke Duguo within the palace walls.

"This king has no say in palace affairs. It is enough to do one's duty."

Dugu City reached out to touch Wan'er's cheek. Taking advantage of the fact that the court wasn't bothering him right now, he hurried to stockpile provisions so the soldiers could have it a little better. With the military power of these 500,000 troops in his hands, he still had a glimmer of hope.

Feng Lingxi reached out and took Dugu Cheng's arm, her eyes soothing.

"Aren't we doing well now No news from the court means good news. We're living comfortably here, isn't that a good life"

Dugu Cheng responded, "As long as you are with me, I'll be happy anywhere."

That day, the wealth of Xianglou was enough to support this army of 500,000. He had expanded the business scope of Xianglou. Besides the restaurant and inn, he had even begun to acquire rice stores. He couldn't let his soldiers starve.

Tian Xiaomi looked at their family's happy appearance and subconsciously stroked her flat abdomen. If the child hadn't miscarried back then, perhaps she could be holding her own child like this now.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

"Xiaomi."

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes and saw Tian Xiaomi's movements. She walked up to her, and Tian Xiaomi hurriedly retracted her hand, looking flustered.

"Queen."

"Xiaomi, when are you planning on having another child"

Feng Lingxi asked, wondering if Tian Xiaomi was just thinking about the child she had miscarried.

I wouldn't normally interfere, but this is a good opportunity to see if I can help her work through whatever is troubling her.

"It's just fate, I guess. And besides, it depends on whether my stomach cooperates."

"Auntie, Wan'er wants a little brother to play with me. A sister would be nice too. Wan'er can protect them!"

Wan'er's soft voice was very pleasant to hear, leaving Tian Xiaomi helpless.

"Wan'er, do you want a younger brother or sister, or would you like your mother to give birth to one Your aunt's body doesn't know when she will be able to conceive again."

"Auntie, you have to work hard! Wan'er wants you to have one too, and Mother should have one as well. That way, Wan'er will have two to play with me."

Feng Lingxi, hearing that Wan'er had set her sights on him, looked at her with an expression of helpless affection.

"Wǎn'er, wait for your aunt to give birth to your mother reborn."

Why

Wan'er looked at Feng Lingxi, "Does mother think Wan'er isn't doing a good job raising the two"

Feng Lingxi was speechless, not knowing how to answer. She looked at Dugu City for help, seeing him gazing at Wan'er with adoration in his eyes. He reminded her, "Look at your daughter, she's still young, why does she always think about having younger siblings"

"Wan'er, this is loneliness. In the future, we should spend more time with her, and she won't have these thoughts."

獨孤城 gently rubbed Wan'er's hair, his voice soft, "Wan'er, will father accompany you well from now on"

"Daddy can't sleep with Wannie every day, but if there were younger brothers and sisters, Wannie could sleep with them."

"Would Wǎn'er like to sleep with her father"

Wan'er shook her head, and her serious expression made people find her adorable.

Why

"Uncle said that if Daddy and Wan'er slept together, Wan'er wouldn't have any younger brothers or sisters. Therefore, Wan'er shouldn't sleep with Daddy; Daddy should sleep with Mommy."

獨孤城 was amused by her words, looking at Feng Lingxi, “Look at how sensible our daughter is, she’s truly the daughter of this king, excellent!”

Feng Lingxi glared at Dugu Cheng angrily and said to Wan'er, "Then you sleep with your mother. Your mother will take care of Wan'er."

"No, Mama can't sleep with Wan'er either. Wan'er sleeping with Mama won't make a baby, so she still has to sleep with Papa."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tian Xiaomi, seeing her face flush red.

"This is none of my business, it must be what Yi Xuan taught."

"It wasn't Uncle Yixuan who taught me that, it was Uncle Yumok. He said that father and mother have to sleep together so he can give me a younger brother or sister. Uncle Yumok said that if he were at the mansion, I could sleep with him."

Now everyone was in an uproar. What did Yu Mo teach Wan'er

"However, Wan'er felt she couldn't sleep with Uncle Yumo. If Wan'er and Uncle Yumo slept together and had a baby, it wouldn't be good. Wan'er is too young to be a mother, she can only be a sister."

"Pfft..."

As soon as Wan'er finished speaking, Tian Xiaomi couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. Wan'er was just too adorable! Her logic was simply unbeatable.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng were stunned, watching Wan'er speak rapidly, her words tumbling out like a torrent. Their thoughts simply couldn't keep up with her incredible logic.her. But how could this child appear at this timeLi Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi's reaction, "You're not happy""No, I was just..."Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of worry, "You know the situation now, thi...
