Chapter 1298: Smoke and Fire Rise

ozens of servants guarding outside, yet she had a man who had spent the night with her hidden in her room. Feng Lingxi felt that she must be afraid of him exposing their relationship, otherwise, why w..."It seems we need to have a good chat with Yumu." If this continues, I'm afraid Wan'er will be taught wrong by him.

Feng Lingxi had a headache. She thought Feng Yixuan told Wan'er, but she didn't expect it was Feng Yumuo. He couldn't even figure out his own feelings, how could he give such authoritative advice and lead Wan'er astray

It really is…

"Yu Mo is in a bad mood right now, and I'm afraid if you talk to him, he won't even listen."

"Du Gu Cheng comforted, "Wan'er is still young. We can teach her slowly in the future."

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking that Feng Yumo's low spirits these past two days made it hard to bring up the topic.

"Wan'er, look what your father brought back for you"

Ye Xi hurriedly picked up the rabbit and walked forward. All three rabbits were injured, but their injuries weren't serious; they had only hurt their feet. Wan'er saw the rabbits and excitedly broke free from Dugu City's embrace.

"Rabbit."

When she returned, she saw a hunter couple selling them on the street, so she bought them all. They were slightly injured. Wan'er wasn't feeling bored at home, and it was just right to buy them and raise them. She had a yard in her place that could accommodate them.

Feng Lingxi looked at the plump rabbit. She had just thought it was bought back to be roasted and eaten.

"Are you sure such a large rabbit is suitable for keeping indoors and won't run away"

獨孤城看著兮兒充滿食慾的眼神，有些哭笑不得，他當時買的時候根本冇想過這些，可是如今看著這體型肥胖的兔子，這好像養也不太適合。

"Mother, the rabbit might have more babies. We shouldn't eat it."

"Princess Wan, that's the public restroom. It wouldn't give birth to a baby."

Ye Xi 'kindly' reminded, as soon as the words left his mouth, a strange atmosphere filled the air. Wan'er stared at Ye Xi, her little face puffed up in anger. Ye Xi was completely clueless, he hadn't said anything wrong, had he

"If Xi'er wants to eat braised rabbit meat, this king will have Ye Xi catch two for you."

"Father, could you ask Ye Xi to catch a few smaller ones for me I'll use these three to cook."

At hearing Wan'er’s words, Dugu Cheng, who had been worried, didn't know what to say for a moment. This mother and daughter were really alike, both foodies! They thought so well of raising rabbits, but now they’ve ended up eating rabbit meat.

"I'll go right away, sir."

Yè Xī didn't dare linger, she rushed out.

"Xiao Mi, take this to the kitchen."

Feng Lingxi instructed, holding Wan'er's hand, "Mother will take you to bathe and change."

"Okay."

Looking at the mother and daughter walking away, Dugu City only then said to Tian Xiaomi, "You have Yi Xuan come to my study later, I have something to ask him."

"Okay."

Tian Xiaomi still had a good impression of Dugu City. Since she met him, he treated her with utmost respect because she and Xi'er shared the same background. He didn't treat her differently because of her different status in this place.

As soon as Dugu City arrived at his study, Feng Yixuan came.

Since moving into Chen Wangfu, his life has become simple. He helps manage the affairs of the mansion, and when he has nothing to do, he reads books and practices martial arts. He doesn't interfere in matters that don't concern him, and is a completely different person from the former Feng Yixuan.

"Master, are you looking for me"

Feng Yixuan knocked on the door and went in. Dugu Cheng gestured for him to sit down.

A stack of papers was pushed to him.

"My lord, this is…"

Feng Yixuan glanced at it, flipped through it, and saw that it was personal information.

"This is all the information on Fifth Prince Dugufeng of the current dynasty. Please check it for me and see if there are any clues. This matter is too important, I can't entrust it to anyone else, so I have to trouble you."

"Five King Wángdū Fēng, hasn't he been missing for a long time"

Feng Yixuan was reviewing the documents. They contained details about Dugu Feng's childhood, including the people he had interacted with and the places he had lived.

"This time when I entered the capital, the emperor gave me a secret decree to investigate the whereabouts of Dugu Feng. I asked Tianxianglou to gather information, but these places need someone to visit in person. I want you to help me with that."

"Okay."

Feng Yixuan readily agreed, as long as Dugu City trusted him, he was willing to help and do things for him.

"You should discuss this with Tian Xiaomi and ask for her opinion."

"I know, I'll discuss it with her."

Dugu Cheng took out a token and handed it to him. "This is the token of Tianxiang Tower. Keep it well. When you are out, you can dispatch people if needed."

"This..."

Feng Yixuan looked at the token, but didn't dare to take it. Instead, he asked sincerely, "Your Highness, are you not afraid that I will betray you You would give me such an important thing."

獨孤城笑了，“胡說些什麼呢，你是兮兒弟弟，也是本王的弟弟，兮兒信任你，本王自然也信得過你，再說，你這些年的改變本王都看在眼裡，本王相信你能做好此事。”

Dugu Cheng smiled, "What nonsense are you talking about You are Xi'er's brother and also this king's brother. Xi'er trusts you, and this king naturally trusts you too. Besides, I have seen your changes over the years, and I believe you can do a good job."

He had always been watching Feng Yixuan's changes. He knew that Feng Yixuan was excellent in every aspect. In the beginning, Dugu Xiu used him because he saw his potential. After Feng Yixuan acknowledged Xi'er as his sister, Feng Yixuan felt that his past crimes made him lack confidence and that they were wary of him. He always tried his best to be a better person.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust. Yi Xuan will do his best to complete this task."

Dugu City nodded, "On this trip, you must pay attention to three things. First, do not get too close to the Yao clan people. Second, when dealing with Tianxiang Lou, you must not act together to avoid exposing the relationship between Tianxiang Lou and my king. Third, besides my orders, you must not trust anyone else's commands."

Feng Yi-Xuan clasped his fist, "Yi-Xuan remembers the Wang Ye's words."

Go.

Feng Yixuan took the token and left the study.

Du Gu Cheng wrote a letter, ordered someone to send it out, and then left.

Linxi County's main street was unusually bustling. A luxurious carriage with a retinue of people attracted everyone's attention. The carriages behind it were filled with exotic treasures, and three exceptionally handsome men rode on horseback, drawing crowds from all corners of the street.

The carriage stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. Looking at the golden plaque on the gate with the inscription "Lu Mansion", the people were full of curiosity. What was the background of this Lu Mansion Its grandeur left them wide-eyed.

"My lords and ladies, today Lu Mansion has moved to this location. The mansion is offering a distribution of rice, two kilograms per household. Everyone is welcome to come and receive some."

The steward of the Lu residence loudly announced, and the onlookers rushed forward, forming a long queue, all crowding at the gate of the Lu residence.

The news spread quickly. Two jin of rice wasn't much, but it wasn't little either. The Lu family was wealthy and generous, known for their widespread charitable acts. This kind deed soon reached the ears of Feng Lingxi, princess of the Chen Wangfu.you made a move""Do you think I would betray you"Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's unwillingness in her eyes and explained, "I don't want to let Dugu Cheng bear the charge of treason. I already carry th...
