Chapter 1621: Together for Life 29

your deputy general isn't quite right, is it"Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Shui Ce Fei's tear-filled eyes. She watched her pitiful gaze fixed on Du Gu Cheng. If I were any ot..."Don't let me handle everything. You owe Yu Mo so much, you have to make amends yourself and get him to forgive you, to acknowledge you." Feng Ling Xi knew that Feng Ao Tian definitely wanted Yu Mo to accept him as his father.

She is not Feng Aotian's biological daughter, but Yu Mo is his son. Feng Aotian knows how much he has owed Feng Yu Mo from childhood to adulthood.

"Xier, I'm afraid..."

"Don't say those things."

Feng Lingxi, without even thinking, cut him off. "You can't say such defeatist things. You owe Yu Mo yourself, so you should be the one to make amends."

"Okay."

Feng Aotian agreed, his eyes filled with tears. Feng Lingxi patted his back encouragingly and said, “Yu Mo will forgive you, as long as you are willing to make amends and treat him well.”

Feng Aotian nodded, his eyes moistened. He didn't know if he could ever get Yu Mo's forgiveness. As he got older, he yearned more and more to make amends with Yu Mo. Of all the children, he owed Yu Mo the most.

"Take good care of yourself and heal well. When Yumo returns triumphantly, tell him everything."

Feng Aotien nodded, but he didn't speak again. However, his mood had clearly improved a lot.

"Why are you always talking about such unpleasant things Go get some food, I'm starving."

Lu Nian changed the subject and hurriedly pulled Dugu Cheng out, letting them ease the tension.

When Dugu Cheng came out, Lu Nian said, "Luo Li hasn't come back. Has there been any news from Li Wu Yan's side I'm a little worried."

"Luo Li is the chief, the Yao people wouldn't do anything to him. But today at the palace, the emperor and I spoke a lot, and I was quite shocked." Du Gu Cheng told Lu Nian everything Yuan Zhao Di had said to him word for word. He was Xi Er's older brother, someone trustworthy, so he could analyze whether what Yuan Zhao Di said was credible.

"Hearing you say this, Emperor Yuan Zhao has truly seen the light."

Dugu City took a deep breath, "This king hopes he's telling the truth, but this king is afraid."

One shouldn't fully believe everything the emperor says.

"If he were to entrust you with military command, allowing you to deploy troops when needed, your objective would be achieved."

Dugu City nodded, he also thought so. He was working so hard now, just hoping that he could lend a hand when needed.

"The Emperor said that the Empress Dowager is this king's biological mother, and also said that she is from the Yao clan. This king really can't believe it." Dugu City looked at Lu Nian, "If she really is this king's biological mother, why would she say she isn't"

"Maybe it's to protect you."

Lu Nian comforted Dugu Cheng, "No matter if she is your biological mother or not, the good she did for you since you were young was real. She once truly treated you as her own child. If you treat her as your biological mother, then she will always be your biological mother."

"Thank you, big brother."

Dugu Cheng nodded, thinking this way, it indeed felt much better.

Regardless of whether the Empress Dowager was his biological mother, she was at least his adoptive mother. He would definitely repay her kindness for raising him. As long as she doesn't harm Xi'er and the child, she will always be his biological mother.

Feng Aotian rested for two days, his body improved considerably. Feng Lingxi accompanied him at the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion every day, and Feng Aotian also felt the happiness of having a daughter under his knees. The two didn't mention anything about Yaozu during these two days. They just talked about past events and occasionally mentioned things happening in the mansion, not mentioning the matter of the Yaozu secret room at all. This made the Yaozu who had been secretly watching them give up.

"Finally, he's gone."

When Yingba told them that the Yao clan who had been secretly watching them had left, Feng Lingxi and Feng Aotiantian both let out a sigh of relief.

"Xier, you've really worked hard these two days."

Feng Aotien saw this and was filled with emotion.

"Don't say that, you're still being dragged down by me. I owe you an apology." Feng Lingxi was a smart person. This time, Feng Aotien got involved because of his mother giving him something and having a marriage with him. Otherwise, Feng Aotien wouldn't have been targeted by the Yao Clan, and they almost lost their family and everything.

“Hey, what’s with all the talk about burdening and not burdening. These years, I've always been thinking about how to make amends for you guys. Now that I can do something, I'm very content.” Feng Aotian patted Feng Lingxi’s hand, his head injury was no longer a major concern.

He knew that Feng Lingxi would be leaving soon, and he didn't know when they would meet again next time.

"No, you don't owe me anything."

"You can say that, but I do owe your mother. After she married me, she never had a good life. You may not be my biological daughter, but you are still her daughter. I promised to treat you like my own, but because of jealousy, I broke my promise."

Feng Aotiān spoke the words that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, "Xī'er, I'm sorry."

"Alright, with all the apologies, how can we even have a conversation"

Feng Lingxi glanced outside. Now the place had all been replaced by people planted by Dugu City. Feng Aotian's safety was no problem, but she hadn't expected this Zhen Guogong's Mansion to become like this. After Zhao Shi's sudden death, the entire place was filled with Yao Clan members.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Do you still remember what I told you before"

Feng Lingxi nodded and watched Feng Aotiān take a box from under the pillow and hand it to Feng Lingxi, "This is what your mother asked me to give you. Now I'm giving it back to you."

Feng Lingxi took it and opened it. It was just like before, a fragment of parchment.

"Xier, I've always been curious, what does your mother do with these"

"It was I who destroyed it. These things were lethal, they should have been destroyed long ago."

Feng Lingxi had not forgotten Xiaocao and her words. Her mother had told her to destroy everything, so she needed to make arrangements and figure out how to burn it all when she got back.

"Be careful yourself, the Yao Clan are all after this thing now."

"Good."

Wind Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng's gaze upon her, and she gave him a smile.

"After some time, I will have to leave the capital. My mother was taken to the Yao tribe, and I must go save her."

"Then I'll go with you..."

Feng Aotian excitedly wanted to get up, but as he touched his head, a buzzing sound made him wince in pain. Feng Lingxi hurriedly stopped him, "Don't bother, I'm not going alone. Please don't risk yourself for her anymore."

"Don't you think I'm no help"

Feng Aotian sighed, "My current body is really no use."

"Don't overthink it, I kept you here because there's something very important I need to ask of you. Don't you remember that there's still Yu Mo He's in the war, Yi Xuan is already on his way back. Now they only have you, if you leave too, their family will be ruined. What's more, the court also needs you."

"But I..." Feng Aotian swallowed the words he had on his lips, wanting to comfort Yao Wan Ying. Never mind, as long as she felt that staying was the biggest help, then he would stay.

"Your Majesty, someone wishes to see you."

Yingba stood at the door and shouted, Feng Lingxi got up and walked out, and saw a group of people walking towards her. Yi let out a cold snort, he wouldn't lower himself to his level.Lu Nian felt embarrassed, looking at Yuan Xiu's god-physician attitude, she knew she had offended him. After all, she was a guest in he...
