Chapter 1623: A Lifetime Together 31

back. Undeterred, they persisted in their accusation from a safe distance."I didn't expect to be found by you."The previous male homeowner, looking at the woman who had been sleeping beside him for ov..."Stop complaining, you're ruining the good mood we had."

Lu Nian pulled Feng Ling Xi, “Big brother will take you to eat something. Let’s talk after we eat.”

Feng Lingxi was dragged out of the house by Lu Nian. Yingba followed behind, and the three of them went to a restaurant on the street and ordered a table full of Feng Lingxi's favorite dishes. They all said that if a girl ate enough, her mood would be better.

"Eat more, later big brother will take you shopping for clothes."

"I have clothes to wear."

Feng Lingxi looked at the food in front of her, "Did Dugu City come back this quickly today"

"What's the matter Missing him" Lu Nian said with a hint of sarcasm, "He's back now, but you still talk about him every day. Do you even care that I exist as your older brother"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian complaining and explained, "Big brother, you misunderstood. I just wanted to ask him if he knew Luo Li's whereabouts..."

"Here we go again." Lu Nian interrupted Feng Lingxi's words, "Can't we just have a decent meal"

"That's enough." Feng Lingxi saw that her big brother was unhappy, and she really couldn't say anything more this time. She knew Lu Nian brought her out to relax, and she shouldn't always be thinking about things and making everyone feel down.

"Little Eight, come sit down and eat with me."

Feng Ling Xi pulled Ying Ba to sit down, Lu Nian glanced at Ying Ba, "Sit down and have a piece."

Yingba only sat down and ate quietly. Lu Nian was in front of her, as if she were air. He asked her questions, but Lu Nian wouldn't answer. She was so quiet that even Lu Nian was curious to see what her face looked like under the mask.

"Eat more."

Feng Lingxi offered Yinge a dish, "Relax and enjoy."

Yingba responded and served Feng Lingxi more dishes, continuing to eat.

Lu Nian watched as the two of them went back and forth, picking up dishes. Her own bowl remained empty. She sighed, resigned to her fate, and started picking up some food herself. The atmosphere in the air seemed to ease a bit.

When they returned to the Zhen Guo Gongfu after shopping, Du Gu Cheng had already come back. He was looking exhausted and resting in the courtyard. Feng Ling Xi walked over with the pastries she had bought, "Have you eaten"

Dugu Cheng opened his eyes, "Xi'er, you're back."

Feng Ling hurriedly walked over and placed the pastries in front of him, sitting down beside him.

"Why don't you take a rest I bought some pastries for you. We can eat them later."

Dugu Cheng yawned, "I just rested for a while, not so sleepy anymore."

"You haven't slept well these days, if you're okay, go rest, I won't disturb you."

"It's alright, Your Majesty came to find you. I heard you went out and just took a quick nap here."

Feng Lingxi thought about Xiao Li's matter, for the time being, it was still best not to tell Dugu City. He was already so tired now, if she told him, he wouldn't be able to help, and she would have to worry about her too.

"Big bro invited me out for a meal, I didn't expect you to be back this soon."

Feng Ling Xi held a pastry and fed it to Du Gu Cheng, watching the fatigue on his handsome face with eyes full of concern. She reminded him, "Take care of yourself, don't overwork."

I'm fine.

Du Gucheng ate the pastries Feng Lingxi fed him, and said softly, "The amount of memorials is a bit much. This king hasn't handled government affairs for too long, so I'm a bit out of practice. However, luckily I've already adapted, and things are almost settled. In a few days, it won't be like this."

"That's good, it's best to leave this government affair to the emperor. Otherwise, there might be misunderstandings."

"This king knows, the emperor also said that he would go to court when he recovered. It's just that this position of regent is afraid he can't resign."

Feng Lingxi smiled and, grasping Du Gu Cheng's hand, asked, "How does it feel to be the regent Are you tired"

“Of course I’m tired, I’m exhausted every day, much more than the chancellor.” Dugu Cheng patted Feng Ling Xi’s head, “But luckily, the Emperor has now entrusted everything to me. The ministers and the chancellor are also cooperating with me, there aren’t so many disagreements, and it’s much faster to handle things.”

Now, Du Gucheng goes to court every day to help Emperor Yuan Zhao handle government affairs. He truly feels how hard it is to be emperor, but the hardship is worth it because he can gain military power in return. That's what he wanted all along.

"Then I'll give you a shoulder massage."

Feng Ling quickly walked behind Dugu City and kneaded his shoulders, which startled Dugu City.

"Xier, what are you doing Did I do something wrong"

Feng Lingxi was stunned, looking at Dugu Cheng's terrified expression. She instinctively glanced at her own hands, "I really just want to give you a shoulder massage, if you don't want it, just say so." She treated him well, did he need to have such an expression

Dugu City then sat down, “This king doesn’t need you to massage my shoulders, just take good care of yourself, and feel free to tell this king if there’s anything.”

"Is it wrong to talk to you if there's nothing going on"

To be a good wife and mother is truly difficult. Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's panicked eyes, how could she make him less nervous She had been good to him before, hadn't she

"No, Your Majesty just doesn't want you to work so hard."

Then I'll just say it straight.

Dugu Cheng nodded, sat up straight, and listened intently.

"Little Li came to find me and asked me to return to the Yao Clan with her. The Great Elder sent her. She is now the Holy Protector of the Yao Clan, taking orders from the Great Elder."

Feng Lingxi, when she spoke, looked at Dugu City, "She gave me three days to think about it."

"Did she threaten you"

Du Gu Cheng finished asking, looked at Feng Ling Xi nodded, and said faintly, "Can't agree to go back with her. This is the Great Yuan Dynasty, does she want to take you away Besides, Wan Er is only eight years old now, taking her to Yaozu to be the clan leader is too young, you directly refuse her."

She threatened me with my mother and Wan'er.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Wan'er is safe, but my mother is now in the Yao clan. If I don't go, she will be in danger."

"If you went, your mother is in even greater danger. If I'm right, they sent you there to get something your mother left you, and also the purple star on your body."

"Do you mean they want to pack it up early"

She had thought about it, but it was unlikely, wasn't it Wan'er was too young to open the Yao Clan treasure trove early.

"It's possible, or they might have found another way. Or there could be other reasons." Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's puzzled eyes and advised, "As long as we haven't gone to the Yao Clan, your mother is safe for now."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Alright."

"This king will have Luoli investigate Xiaoli, and news from the Yao clan will be sent to you as soon as possible."

Dugu Cheng was afraid of Feng Ling's worries, so he diligently checked everything she desired to ensure her peace of mind.

This time, he would definitely find a way to protect her and make sure she wouldn't have to shoulder everything alone like before. He would tell her about everything he did, so she would know what was going on and wouldn't feel lost or uncertain.

"Dugu City, how did you suddenly understand me so well"

Feng Lingxi, listening to Dugucheng's words, all the worries in her heart disappeared. Feeling like sitting with Dugucheng, she knew he understood everything in her heart and could even help her solve it. This feeling was really good.mpress Shutai's eyes welled with tears."Grand Empress, Tai'er and Wan'er have never blamed you. Please don't feel guilty."Dugu Cheng comforted her, seeing her like this, his heart was not feeling well...
