Chapter 1503: Lingshi Purple Star 42

and stood up, "You've worked hard today. Tomorrow, this king will take you into the palace and settle this hairpin matter. This king will go to the prison now and handle things first.""Thank you for...Dugu City heard Siqi's words, his eyes full of heartache. It turned out that for the past five years, Xi'er had lived such a difficult life with them. Hearing Siqi's words, Dugu City felt heartbroken.

"Your master treats you well."

Feng Siqi beamed, "That's natural, Grandpa may be a mischievous old man, but he is truly good to us."

"Your Highness, let's go back first. It's getting dark and you are unwell."

Night Xi's eyes were full of worry.

The Lord's body can't be treated this way. He's made great progress today, at least the Princess no longer shuns him when she sees him. I believe that with more time together, the Lord will find an excuse to talk to the Princess. It's just unknown how long the Princess will stay here.

"Yexi, I heard from mother that you like our maidservant Xiaoli. Is she pretty"

"Beautiful."

Ye Xi readily answered with a foolish grin, scratching his head sheepishly. "Didn't the princess tell you about this"

"Of course, Mother told us many stories about her past."

Has anyone told you about your mother and father

Ye Xi's gaze fell on the King. Seeing that the King remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Si Qi, it was clear that the King was also very curious about this.

"I've said it already, though. There isn't much to say."

Feng Siqi said casually, looking at Dugu City, "Let's go back and eat first. It won't be as good if it gets cold later."

Dugu Cheng followed Feng Siqi, watching her skip happily. Based on just now, it seemed that Siqi didn't even know he was her father. Could it be that Xi’er had never told them about her existence

"Siqi, how has your mother been these past few years"

"Do you like my mother Why are you asking her"

"I..."

Dugu Cheng was speechless when asked. Of course he liked Xi'er, but... he was afraid that if he said it, the child would look down on him. How could he, who had driven Xi'er away five years ago, now have the qualifications to ask her back

In front of his own little daughter, Dugu City felt like a clown.

"What's wrong with you Is there something you can't say No wonder you're depressed, you deserve to be sick."

獨孤城 glanced at her, and let out a sigh.

Some words, are not something this King can say just because he wants to. Saying them wouldn't be helpful.

"If you don't even say it, how do you know it won't work Things that can't be said can be understood. There are things that may not be useful even if they are said. If you don't say them, there's something wrong with you."

Feng Siqi's serious lecture was like a big child. Ye Xi glanced at the prince, seeing that he wasn't angry, she couldn't help but relax, thinking in her heart, this little princess Siqi is really capable. This princess Wan’er would explode when speaking with the prince, unlike Princess Siqi, whatever she said, the prince patiently listened and even explained things to her clearly.

Ye Xi thought, this must be the reason why the prince felt indebted to her.

"Did you even hear what I was saying"

Feng Siqi saw that Dugu City remained silent all his life, with a displeased expression on his face.

"This king will try it."

Feng Siqi was finally satisfied, "This is what you said, let's pinky swear." She finished, extending her little finger, her adorable smile made Du Gucheng defenseless, playing this childish promise game with her.

"I'll give you one of my favorite chicken legs later. Don't mind me rambling, I'm just doing this for your sake. Once you get better, you'll see how capable I am."

"Hmm."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Siqi's smile, feeling more and more that his actions were right. Besides, this patient was also obedient, his sense of accomplishment overflowing.

"Glug."

獨孤城的身體微微僵了一下，下意識地看向一旁的風思琪，隻見她一臉不好意思。

I'm hungry.

"Go back."

Du Gu Cheng bent down and picked her up. Feng Si Qi did not resist, but instead embraced his neck with both hands, looking at Du Gu Cheng's handsome face. She played with his white hair with a serious expression.

"Grandfather Feng, didn't you say you wouldn't be this greedy You even won't let go of the chicken droppings." Feng Siyu looked at Feng Aotien who had finished eating the chicken droppings and even licked his hands, her eyes full of disdain.

Feng Aotien chuckled, "I didn't expect it to be this delicious. You have this often, so let me have one more bite, right"

“I’ll get you another one tomorrow, okay What the heck. Don't you think this is dirty”

Feng Siyu's words made Feng Aotian's smile freeze, but he soon let it go.

"What is this, what nonsense. Stocks aren't meat! Back when my grandfather went to war, he wouldn't have even dreamed of eating something like this. It would have been such a treat!" Speaking of which, Feng Aotian's face showed some sadness. He had changed so much these years. Because of his promise to Xi'er, he truly wanted to be a good general, but in the end, he still couldn't.

The court now has no intention of re-employing him, his existence is merely a decoration. The military power within the court has fallen into the hands of King Yu and the Chancellor. He and King Chen have both become idle ministers of the Yuan Dynasty.

"What are you going to do about this Magistrate Li"

Feng Lingxi changed the subject. Feng Aotien withdrew his sadness and said seriously, "Over the years, Li Dechen has been corrupt and accepting bribes. Many businesses in Mingde Town have colluded with him and fawned over You Yuliang. This time when they were caught, the common people stood up and accused Li Dechen of his crimes. The You Mansion sent someone to find me later, wanting me to give them face and let them go."

"Feng Aotiand hesitated for a moment. "You also know, this Yu Youliang colluded with officials in the capital. If I don't release him, that person on top will likely cause me trouble."

"So, you let the person go"

Feng Lingxi's face changed instantly. Seeing Feng Aotien nod, Feng Lingxi was so angry she almost swore, "How can you do this You just said they colluded with Li Dechen Just because he has people in the court, you just"

"Please let me finish speaking."

Feng Aotian saw Feng Ling and said, "You're quite spirited. However, I did keep my promise. I had Yu Youliang arrested for insulting important officials in court."

Feng Lingxi looked puzzled, "Is this an insult to important officials in court"

"He was cursing at you"

Feng Aotien nodded, "When I let him go, I said a few words to him. Someone like him who clings to power for his own benefit, how could he tolerate it I figured that since I let him go, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me. He then insulted me verbally. According to the court law, insulting a high-ranking official of the court is a serious crime. So I went along with his wishes and had him return to his cell."

"How do I feel that you're deliberately trying to pit him against us" Feng Si asked, then looked at her mother, "Mother, is what Si Yu understands correct"

"This isn't a pitfall, it's a common tactic in the officialdom. This is what Grandpa learned over the years in the official circles. You wouldn't believe it, it's quite effective, one set after another." Feng Aotian finished and laughed heartily.ng Lingxi opened her mouth, "I don't know how to tell him about this. I want to keep it a secret, but I can't hide it anymore.""Your Highness, shall I help you speak with the King"Feng Lingxi shook he...
