Chapter 1629: A Lifetime Together 37

chase of medicinal herbs."Little Li, why don't you speak anymore""Is it this palace who made you uncomfortable"Huangfu Qingyun spoke, and Xiaoli hurriedly said, "Your Highness is joking. The slave gir...Dugu Cheng looked at Tao Su, this man really knew a lot about Xi'er. Looking at the worry in his eyes, Dugu Cheng unconsciously clenched his fists and endured the jealousy.

Xi'er's friend is his friend, not to mention that he said all this for Xi'er's own good.

"Tao Ge is right, you have to cherish your own body. You never know when you might be pregnant with a fourth nephew."

As soon as Lu Nian finished speaking, Feng Lingxi reached out and slapped him on the forehead, glaring at him, "What nonsense are you talking about Do you think I'm a sow Can I give birth like that"

"You're still so young, anything is possible."

Lu Nianxiao said nonchalantly, “Unless you…”

"Ahem...," Luo Li coughed twice, "Brother Lu, it's best not to say such things at the dinner table. Besides you and your wife, everyone here is still unmarried."

"Wait until I get back to the Lu family, and see how I'll tell your parents. I'll make them find you a woman who's big and strong, so she can give birth to a whole litter of children for you."

"Ahem..."

Lu Nian was taken aback by Feng Lingxi's words, "Weighing tons!" He was immediately speechless and quickly apologized, "Little sister, my brother was just joking with you. Please don't say this in front of our parents, if they believe you, my future will be ruined."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort. Lu Nian looked at Dugu Cheng with a pleading expression, "Brother-in-law, please help."

"Xier understands her place, elder brother. Please be careful with your words and actions, Xier will not overstep."

Dugu City looked at Luoli, "The affairs of this dynasty have been settled. When the Emperor recovers, we can withdraw."

"Has the Emperor agreed to give you command of the army"

"Having said that, this king hopes things won't go awry again. It's just that the Empress Dowager... there are some complications." When mentioning the Empress Dowager, Dugu City’s eyes became filled with sorrow. The Empress Dowager had always insisted she wasn't his biological mother.

"Still denying that you are her father"

Luo Li's fingers tapped the table rhythmically. Hearing Dugu Cheng hum in response, Luo Li frowned, "Otherwise, you should still investigate. If she's really not your biological mother, then there's no need for you to show mercy."

"I was raised by her since I was young, it's impossible."

Dugu Cheng looked at Li Wuyan, mentioning the Empress Dowager's matter. He didn't say a word because if he wasn't really the Empress Dowager's child, then Li Wuyan's identity would change. If what they said was true, that Xian Fei only had one son, then who was Li Wuyan's father

The Empress Dowager said, "No, you insisted. If you don't clear this up, what's the point of getting entangled here Furthermore, what if you aren't really the Empress Dowager's son, but Concubine Xian's Then Ayan would be your biological brother."

"Having only one child," Li Wu Yan instantly replied, his body stiffening at those words.

"Ayan, trust me. Dugu Cheng is not Xinfan's son. I don't know why the empress dowager said that, but I'm sure of it. Whatever your mother told you before, you've forgotten"

Li Wuyan clenched his fists, silent.

Feng Lingxi looked at the several of them. If this were in her time, it would be as easy as turning her hand over, but here, it was truly difficult.

"This king investigates."

Dugu Cheng looked at Li Wuyan, "I'll give you an answer."

Li Wuyan didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing with him. No matter what, it would eventually surface.

During the meal, Li Wuyan barely ate a few bites. Tao Su and Lu Nian spoke the least, and after finishing their meal, they went back to their own places.

Dugu Cheng returned to Chen Wangfu, while Feng Lingxi and Lu Nian went back to Lu Fu. It wasn't that they had reconciled and were going to live together, but rather that Dugu Cheng needed to attend court early these days, and Feng Lingxi needed to study how to burn the damaged scroll.

The night was dark and windy, the candlelight in the room flickered. Feng Lingxi sat at the table, Yingba stood beside her. On the table lay a charred fragment of parchment. Feng Lingxi held it over the candle flame, but there was no sign of burning.

"Little Eight, how do you burn this"

Feng Lingxi held a scalpel and made many cuts on the surface, but not a single mark appeared. "Is this really parchment Why is there no trace"

"Your Majesty, this object is not easily destroyed, otherwise it wouldn't have survived so well after a thousand years."

Feng Lingxi pointed at the irregular slits on the damaged scroll, "So, what do you say How did these irregular slits on the damaged scroll come about This piece is pieced together as a whole, but it looks like it was cut."

Yingba looked at Feng Lingxi's questioning gaze and shook his head.

"I don't understand, sir."

"No wonder my mother has been hiding around like this. She must have, just like me, been unable to burn this thing. Looks like I need to think of a way, using scientific methods, to destroy this scroll."

Feng Lingxi racked her brains, using every method she could think of. No matter if it was boiled in water, burned in fire, or thrown into high temperatures, this parchment remained undestroyed, old and unyielding.

After tossing and turning until the middle of the night, Feng Lingxi was exhausted. He rolled up the sheepskin scroll.

“It seems destroying this thing is really a difficult task.”

Wind Ling Xi rested her chin in her hand, unable to destroy them. She could only hide things away, but where could she hide them so the Yao Clan wouldn't find them The world was so vast; these things should be hard to find, right

"Yinyi, how did my mother find these things What methods did she use For example, where were these things hidden before, and how did she find them Do you know"

Yingba looked at Feng Lingxi and shook his head.

“This thing cannot be destroyed. My mother sent word that I must destroy these things, what should I do”

Taking a deep breath, Feng Lingxi felt that this was really difficult. She was truly afraid that when she really lost it, her mother would suddenly say so, and she was afraid that by then she wouldn't even be able to find herself.

Feng Lingxi took out all the sheepskin scrolls her mother had given her, piecing them together. Four pieces were missing, and it was not complete.

"If we just keep them from seeing the light of day, wouldn't that count as destroying them"

Yinge looked at the Queen with a headache, and opened his mouth, "Your Highness, I have an idea. If Your Highness is really unable to, why not poison it on top, and then find a place to bury it In this way, even if someone finds it in the future, the poison on top will also protect it from being known to the world."

This method isn't bad, but what if people a thousand years from now find this If they are poisoned by it, wouldn't we be harming future generations

No, if it were to reach modern times and archaeologists discovered this, they wouldn't hesitate to poison her. Feng Lingxi absolutely cannot do such a thing.

"Let's keep these for now. I'll figure out a way to deal with them once my mother is rescued." Feng Lingxi put away the parchment scrolls and, turning back, applied a poison to each piece. That way, even if they were taken by the Yao tribe, anyone who touched the remaining fragments would be poisoned. She wanted to see just how many people would still dare to covet these scrolls.

"Your Highness, it's late. Get some rest."

Yinge reminded, helping to make the bed, "My subordinates will be guarding outside. Your Highness can rest assured."
