Chapter 1468: Glassy Purple Star

ent, turned to look at Xiaoli. "This palace will not kill you, nor will I let you send messages. This palace makes a wager with you. If before Xi'er recovers her memory, this palace cannot make her fa...Feng Lingxi glanced at Lu Nian before turning to Lu Hao.

"Take good care of the mistress, and take care of yourself."

Lu Hao was delighted and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will do a good job."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the three siblings Wan'er, Siyu, and Siqi, and shouted, "Wan'er, Siyu, Siqi, let's go."

The old lady and the old man held their grandchild's hands reluctantly, their eyes filled with tears. Feng Lingxi walked over and bowed to the old lady and the old man, "Grandmother, Grandfather, I will be back after seeing grandpa."

“Xier, you must take good care of yourself. Don’t ever let yourself get hurt. Remember, this will always be your home. If you have any difficulties, just tell Nian'er. Please don’t worry us.” As the old madam finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.

"Grandma, you can rest assured. I'll take good care of my little sister and won't let anything happen to her."

Although Lu Nian felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, this man from the Lu family was truly treating grass as common and women as precious. This disparity in treatment, if she hadn't been accustomed to it, she would have seriously doubted whether he was actually her biological brother from the Lu family.

Take good care of your sister, or I'll beat you up when you get back.

The old lady said, tears streaming down her face even more fiercely. Lu Nian hurriedly raised her hand and swore an oath.

"Grandma, I promise you, I'll definitely make sure nothing happens to my younger sister." He knew that whether he was being serious or not, Grandma wouldn't really hit him. She was just being strict because the women in the Lu family carried more responsibilities than the men.

Although he didn't know what mission he carried, the men of the Lu family all remembered that even if it cost their lives, they had to protect the women of the Lu family and keep them safe.

The old lady nodded, wiping away her tears.

"Let's go, or I'll regret it."

Feng Lingxi bowed again to the old lady and the old master, "Old Madam, Old Master, take care. Feng'er takes her leave."

"Grandfather and grandmother, we're leaving."

Wan’er bade farewell to Siyu, Siqi, the old lady and the old master, then got into the carriage with Feng Lingxi. After the three siblings got into the carriage, they looked at their mother and hurriedly asked, “Mother, when we get out, can I ride a horse”

"Mother, I also want to ride a horse."

Windy also chimed in, "Can Uncle Tao take me for a horseback ride"

"Don't fool around, just sit quietly in the carriage."

Feng Lingxi instructed, glancing at Feng Siqi's mischievous expression, "This time we're going to the Great Yuan Dynasty to see my grandfather. All of you be obedient and don't cause trouble, let's hurry on our journey."

"Let them go, Suyue and my elder brother are here, nothing will happen."

Wan'er spoke up, pleading for her younger siblings. These two were rather peculiar; neither of them had ever ridden a horse. It was truly hard to imagine siblings who practiced martial arts yet couldn't ride a horse.

"Then ask them if they're willing to take you."

Siyu and Siqi hurriedly got off the carriage and ran to the person they wanted to ride with. Feng Siyu followed Lu Nian on horseback, while Feng Siqi clung to Tao Su. Suyue watched them without saying much. A group of riders set off. Lu's madam watched the procession leave, supporting the old lady.

"Mother, I have told Xi'er as you instructed."

The old lady sighed, “Qingyin, do you think we are being too selfish Letting her bear the burden of the Lu family alone”

"Mother, this is also her destiny."

Lu Hao, hearing their words, felt guilty and couldn't raise his head.

"May she understand this journey."

The old lady turned, “Tell everyone to proceed as planned.”

Feng Lingxi's convoy left Xigu Country, heading towards the border of Dayuan Dynasty. It would take about five days to reach the border of Dayuan Dynasty, and another twenty or so days to return to the capital city of Dayuan Dynasty. Along the way, the weather was hot, making it stuffy to sit in the carriage. Even riding a horse required avoiding the scorching midday sun.

Feng Lingxi was used to such a hasty journey. It's just that she missed Siyu and Siqi. At first, she was excited to follow them on horseback, but in the past few days, she had gotten tanned and lost interest. She lay listlessly on the carriage, bumping along the way.

"Mother, do you think Grandfather will get better if he sees us"

During these days on the carriage, Feng Lingxi and Wan'er talked about past events. Wan'er also clearly understood her mother's feelings for her grandfather, and from the bottom of her heart, she wanted Grandfather to live a few more years.

"My mother suspects something is wrong with Grandfather, but she doesn't know what illness he has."

Grandpa definitely had a doctor treating him at his hometown, but I don't know if his illness can be cured.

She rather hoped it was a lack of skill, at least that way she still had a chance.

"Mother, can you cure the disease of white hair at night"

Wan'er suddenly asked out her inner doubts. Feng Lingxi looked at the struggle in Wan'er's eyes and remembered that Lu Nian had told her before that Dugucheng had turned white overnight because he hadn't heard from her. Her heart ached.

At first, it was Du Gu Cheng who had a new love that led to their divorce. Why would he go gray for her in one night Could it be that he still loved her, so he did this

"Haven't these past few years been as bad as your uncle said"

Her eyes darkened, Feng Lingxi's gaze dimmed. Mentioning Dugu City would always stir up her emotions.

"How could she possibly be unhappy She has company every day, food and drink. This backyard is full of women anyway. She got what she deserved, none of them can even give birth."

Wan'er angrily said, Feng Lingxi was stunned.

"You said he doesn't have any children"

Wǎn'er nodded, looking at her mother, "No, none of the women in his backyard will give birth."

Feng Ling Xi's heart felt as if it had been struck by something. This Luo Qin Yi had been with Du Gu Cheng for five years, how could there be no children Moreover, wasn't it said that the Empress Dowager had given him a concubine

Could it be that these women, as Lu Nian said, have truly never slept with him, and haven't given birth to any children for him

"Mother, are you feeling sorry for him"

Wǎn'er clutched her mother's hand, her eyes filled with concern.

He let you down, you can't feel sorry for him.

Feng Lingxi gave a smile, "Wan'er, Mother was just asking. I don't feel sorry for him, but Wan'er, no matter how bad he is, he is still your biological father. If he hasn't treated you badly, you should still respect him."

"Does Mother not hate him"

Wan'er asked, seeing Feng Ling shaking her head, she was very angry.

"Mother, you're too kind to him..."

Before Wan'er could finish her words, the carriage lurched violently. It came to a sudden halt, and sounds of fighting, along with Lu Nian's urgent shouts, reached their ears: "Xi'er, don't come out! There are assassins!"

Feng Lingxi, hearing about the assassins, hurriedly shielded her children behind her. However, she found Wan'er pushing her away, "Mother, don't come out! Just go!" Feng Lingxi saw Wan'er going out and hastily called out to her, "Wan'er, don't..."

Before she could finish her words, the carriage suddenly stopped with a jolt. Feng Lingxi's body lurched forward, and the three of them fell out of the carriage.

Outside, people were engaged in a brutal fight with a group of black-clad men. Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled Si Yu and Si Qi up, and upon looking up, she saw a man in black wielding a sword aimed at her.

"Mother, be careful!"

Wan'er cried out, but due to the distance, she was unable to support. Instead, a black-clothed man slashed her arm, and her soft sword fell to the ground.aised an eyebrow, looking at Feng Yu Xi's face. There was a chilling intent between her brows, and she suddenly smiled."Your Majesty, how would I know if the Third Prince has thoughts of rebellion Yo...
