Chapter 1317: Smoke Signals Rise

ies""Mother, this time I was unharmed, and I even received the rank of general."Feng Lingxi told her mother about Bai Mo and Bai, watching the worry in her mother's eyes, Feng Lingxi explained, "Mothe...Feng Aotian rose to his feet, "Then I'll go back first and not disturb King Chen and Queen Chen's rest. We can talk about the investigation tomorrow."

"Please, General."

獨孤城向風傲天做了個請的手勢，將風傲天送出府。回來的時候在院子裡看著滿腹疑惑的風淩兮，走到她麵前，“兮兒可是想問本王為何要讓你來回答風傲天的疑問？”

Did you want me to translate the entire passage

I know there's no escaping Feng Aotiān. To be frank, I don't think his investigation this time is just about whether we and the Lü family have colluded. I suspect he's targeting the Lü family's past.

Du Gu Cheng nodded, and continued walking toward his own courtyard. "You're right, Feng Ao Tian did come here with this intention, but you shouldn't be too pessimistic either. He actually gave us quite a bit of face by coming this time."

Dugu Cheng's words left Feng Ling Xi puzzled, "What do you mean"

“Feng Aotiān’s arrival this time has already been of great help to us. He told the King that the Emperor’s true purpose in sending him was to find out if the Lù family and we were truly colluding, whether I had committed treason, and to uncover the origins of the Lù family.”

"As I expected."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fist, "This emperor speaks so sweetly, treating you like family. But behind the scenes, he's still trying to find proof of your treason, just wanting to put you to death."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's angry expression.

“Which emperor hasn't done this No one wants a threat to exist, let alone a threat like me. He didn't get rid of me because he wasn't sure. He hasn't acted because he lacks a good excuse. As soon as he finds a way to pin something on me, he won't show mercy.”

"What do we do now"

"To be honest, cooperating with Feng Aotiān's investigation is just a formality. We can complain and act distressed, but that's all for show. The Emperor only wants to know that we're suffering. As long as we're miserable, he feels better."

Feng Lingxi thought about it and said, "Then I'll listen to you."

"Alright, let's go back inside and rest. You worry too much every day, this king feels pain just looking at you."

"You think I want to They just keep coming after me."

Feng Lingxi sighed softly, and suddenly her body was lifted up by Dugu Cheng. She didn't react for a moment and hurriedly hugged Dugu Cheng's neck.

What are you doing

"What are you afraid of It's late at night. This king is holding his own woman back to the room to sleep. Who dares to have an opinion"

Dugu Cheng kissed Feng Lingxi's lips, a brilliant smile on his face, not a hint of worry. Feng Lingxi blushed, embarrassed by Dugu Cheng's gaze.

"Have you fed me in a while"

"Haven't showered."

This king had someone prepare water for you already. Later, I'll help you bathe and rest early. This king wants to give Wan'er a younger brother.

Feng Lingxi glared at him with displeasure, "You do want to."

"Of course, Your Majesty wants this every day. You are the beloved consort of this King."

Seeing that Dugu Cheng was in such a good mood, Feng Lingxi didn't want to spoil his fun. Back in the room, someone served her bath and dress change, and there were handsome men accompanying her, all fatigue disappeared instantly. Only Dugu Cheng was truly energetic, tossing about all night, tiring her so much that she didn't even want to get up until Xiaoli knocked on the door several times before she lazily climbed up.

"Your Highness, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu have arrived. The prince asked me to attend to the princess's getting up and dressing."

Come in.

Feng Lingxi yawned, too tired to keep her eyes open. Seeing Xiao Li's smiling face as she came in, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but blush.

"Your Highness, the King instructed me to wake you up at this hour today. Could it be that our Chen Palace will soon have a little prince"

Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes. "That sounds nice in theory, but if you like children so much, I'll have Ye Xi marry you sooner and let you give birth to ten or eight of them."

"My Lady, please don't tease me. I still wait for the young master."

Xiao Li helped Feng Ling Xi with her hair and wash, looking at the princess's rosy complexion today, a smile couldn't be hidden from her face.

"If there were a little prince, Lady Wan would definitely be happy."

Feng Ling subconsciously touched her abdomen. She shouldn't get pregnant so easily. She hadn't really been trying to avoid it lately, and she hadn't gotten pregnant. Maybe her body was just too tired, or maybe it would just take its course naturally.

Little Li looked at the Queen's expression, and her mood improved. She hoped that the Queen could become pregnant.

The front hall

Feng Aotiān and Dugu City sat there. Lü Hào and his wife had arrived, the rivals meeting each other’s eyes with fierce animosity. This was the first time Lü Hào had seen the man Yao Wan'ying had married, while Feng Aotiān was seeing for the first time the man Yao Wan'ying had longed for. The two men’s gazes met in a blaze of sparks. The atmosphere in the hall was thick with tension.

Lu Fu looked at Feng Aotian, and thinking of what he had done to Feng Lingxi, she found him extremely displeasing no matter how she looked at him.

Feng Lingxi arrived at the front hall and immediately sensed the eerie atmosphere.

A man who has been loved by a mother, a man who has married a mother, now both have become people who don't care about their mothers, gathering together like this, what a sight, it is really eye-catching and laughable.

"Xier."

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's cold eyes, and told someone to bring Feng Lingxi breakfast. After Feng Lingxi sat down, Feng Aotian looked at Lu Hao. The two of them kept looking at each other, neither saying a word.

"Master Lu, Madam Lu, allow me to introduce you. This is Feng Aotiān, the Generalissimo of the Yuan Dynasty. Today, I invited you to the Chen Wang's Mansion because the Generalissimo has been ordered to investigate the reasons for your close dealings with the Chen Wang's Mansion."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao, “I don’t want to involve you all, but since you refuse to leave and remain in Linxi County, now that the imperial court is investigating, I hope you will cooperate with him.”

"I've come to find my daughter. What does it have to do with the court"

Lu Hao's tone was extremely cold, and he was not at all friendly to Feng Aotian.

She's almost twenty, what are you still looking for here

Feng Aotien looked at Lu Hao, his voice full of gunpowder.

"When you abandoned them, why didn't you think of them Now that you're looking for them, do you think they will accept you"

"Do they know about me and you I apologize to them, at least my hurt towards them isn't as deep as yours. How much suffering and grievance have they endured under your care, from childhood to adulthood Do you really think I haven't investigated"

Lu Hao's eyes were as cold as ice, his gaze burning with anger. He was just about to fight Feng Aotien.

"You looked her up, so why didn't you stop it The child is all grown up now, and you have the face to come here and want to recognize her. Do you think she will recognize you"

She doesn't recognize me, and she's better off without you. You completely disappointed her and severed your parent-child relationship with her.

"What does this have to do with you Even if I'm not good, at least I wouldn't abandon my wife and children like you."to go to Tumu Town with the Princess."Feng Lingxi responded, and the doctors in the medical hall were all brought over. Upon seeing Feng Lingxi, they hurriedly bowed, "We pay our respects to Madam Wan...
