Chapter 270: Seize the Throne 24

e capital. This capital had long been her domain, with no room for them, mother and son."If this Shutai Fei dies at the hands of Princess Yaohua, this Fourth Prince will undoubtedly blame Princess Yao...Dugu City took two steps back, looking at Ye Xi's questioning eyes, "You're right, not finding Xi'er is the best news, which means Xi'er is still alive. She must have been rescued. This king is going to find her."

Ye Xi watched him stomping away, and stepped in front of him.

"My lord, if you wish to find your wife, I will accompany you. But you must take care of your health. In your current state, you might not even find her before you collapse. For your wife's sake, you must recuperate well."

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi, "Go get food for this king, this king wants to eat. Get medicine for this king, this king needs to recover."

Ye Xi responded and, with Xiao Li, withdrew to allow someone to bring in the food.

"Ye Xi, I have something I want to ask you."

After Xiao Li walked out, she knelt before Ye Xi. Ye Xi hurriedly went to help her but was pushed away by Xiao Li. "Xiao Li, what do you want again"

"The queen is lost by me, I will go to find her. As you know, the king's situation now, 500,000 troops are following him, he is not alone, he can't abandon his soldiers. I want to go to the country of Aoxiang to look for the queen. If it was someone from Aoxiang who saved her, I am sure I can find her."

Ye Xi looked at the tears in her eyes, her expression slightly twisted, "You go by yourself, aren't you afraid of danger"

“I live for the Princess. The task entrusted to me by my mistress, I have failed to complete. I should not have lived in this world. But now that there is still a chance for the Princess to live, I must continue to live, to find her. Death holds no fear for me. What terrifies me is never seeing the Princess again.”

Ye Xi took out a dagger from her bosom and handed it to her, “This was given to me by the King back then. Take it for self-defense. I and the King will take care of things here and then come find you.”

"Ye Xi, thank you."

Xiaoli took his dagger, got up and wiped her tears, leaving without looking back. Ye Xi stood there, watching her leave, for a long time before he left.

“Night Guard, this subordinate requests to accompany Miss Xiaoli in searching for the princess.”

General Sun stepped forward, watching Xiaoli's departing figure. "My lady is in trouble, this subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths. This subordinate hopes to find my lady and redeem himself."

"Stay here, Your Highness. Only you understand the layout of the gunpowder storehouse left by the Queen. If you truly feel remorse, guard it well. Defend this border fortress, and don't let the Queen's home be lost."

General Sun's eyes were wet, "This subordinate knows that his crime is unforgivable. The prince entrusted the safety of his wife to this subordinate, but this subordinate failed to protect her. This subordinate deserves death and will definitely use his life to guard the wife in this home."

Ye Xi patted his shoulder and walked into the king's room.

The Prince's Mansion

After sleeping for five days, Feng Lingxi finally woke up. Opening her eyes, she looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and her throat felt like it was on fire, unable to make a sound. A pair of clear eyes scanned the room's furnishings, her expression filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Where is she

"Miss, are you awake"

When the maid serving Feng Lingxi saw that she had woken up, she hurriedly put down the medicine and excitedly shouted to the outside, "Quickly go and report to the Crown Prince, Miss has woken up."

Prince

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, her throat dry and painful. She struggled to get up, but she was powerless.

When Huangfu Qingyun heard the news that Feng Lingxi had woken up, he rushed over immediately. When he got to her side and saw her staring at him, those clear eyes made his heart tremble slightly, with an indescribable feeling.

Feng Lingxi stared at him, looking again and again.

"Miss, you're awake."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Huangfu Qingyun was a little flustered, his ears turning red under her gaze. This was the first time he had been stared at so intently by a woman, as if she were trying to see right through him.

Feng Ling xi opened her mouth, but still couldn't speak. She pointed to her throat and shook her head.

"Can you not speak"

Huangfu Qingyun hurried forward, "Try again. That day I heard you speak."

Feng Lingxi saw him so excited, with a curious look on his face. Did she know this person Why was he so nervous around her

Huangfu Qingyun, seeing her bewildered expression, hurriedly ordered, "Quickly send for the imperial physician."

Feng Lingxi watched as the maidservant hurried out. Wasn't she fine Why was he so anxious, and besides, she wasn't mute, just that her throat was dry. Who was he What did they have to do with each other Why was he so worried about her

Huangfu Qingyun turned back to look at Feng Lingxi who had been staring at him, and reached out to wave in front of her face. "Am I speaking, can you hear me"

Feng Lingxi nodded, and Huangfu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good then, don't worry, I'll have the imperial physician take a look at you, the imperial physician will definitely be able to cure you."

Seeing his worried expression, Feng Lingxi's eyes fixed on the bowl of medicine on the table. She pointed at the medicine and then at her own cracked lips. Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly held the medicine to her, "Do you want to drink the medicine"

"I want to drink water," Feng Ling Xi thought in her heart, but sadly, she couldn't speak. She could only endure and finish the bowl of medicine.

The bitter and foul-smelling medicine entered his mouth, Feng Ling almost vomited it out. He covered his mouth, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it down hard.

"Is it too bitter Here, have this sugar."

Over the past few days, the medicine was given to her little by little. Huangfu Qingyun watched as she finished a big bowl of medicine in one gulp, feeling a mixture of emotions he couldn't describe.

Feng Lingxi nodded, and Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly spoke, "Go get a candy."

Looking back, Feng Lingxi was still staring at him, and Huangfu Qingyun's ears turned red again, feeling restless.

"You've been staring at me, is there something on my face"

Feng Lingxi shook her head and smiled faintly at him. Huangfu Qingyun looked at her smile, his face flushing slightly. Feng Lingxi's eyes widened. This man actually blushed! Such a pure man.

Dr. Zhang hurried over, seeing Feng Lingxi had woken up, and immediately went forward to examine her.

"Reporting to His Highness, the young lady has had a high fever for many days. Although she has woken up, her throat hasn't recovered yet. I have prescribed some medicine for her, and after taking it for a few days, she should be able to recover."

Huangpu Qingyun let out a breath, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes fixed on him. They were too clear, completely different from the expression she had when she held his hand that night.

"Imperial Physician Zhang, come with me."

Feng Lingxi watched their leaving figures, looking around.

"Dr. Zhang, this palace always feels that when this girl wakes up, she looks at this palace with clear eyes. She seems to not remember why she is here. Please check her and see if she remembers the past."

"I obey your command."

Doctor Zhang hurried back to check on Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi, looking at the worry in Huangfu Qingyun's eyes, mimicked his expression, furrowing her brow, which only increased Huangfu Qingyun's concern.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the young lady is physically well. As for whether she remembers her past, I cannot judge at this time."

Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly walked to Feng Lingxi's face, "Miss, what is your name Do you know where you came from" Zhang family isn't my opponent, and besides, I have people on my side. Don't worry, Xi'er."Feng Lingxi heard her mother say this, and finally let out a sigh of relief.Feng Yu Xi knew that once she ar...
