Chapter 271: Seizing Power 26

eyebrow slightly, "You weren't certain when you spoke before. Now, facing the ancestors of all holy masters, you claim to be rebels Before you speak, reflect on your words and don't lie in front of ou..."She must have been startled, that's why she reacted this way, Your Highness. What did you just say to this young lady"

Huangfu Qingyun watched Feng Lingxi lying there in pain, and quickly said, "I just wanted to give her a name, she didn't like it, so I asked her what she liked, and then she suddenly clutched her head and pounded on it, and kept shouting 'Lin Xi'."

She was unwilling to have anyone change her name. This Lin Xi very likely is her own name, or the name of someone very important to her.

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi's pain on her face, "Is there any way to make her less painful"

"I gave her some calming medicine to help her sleep soundly. Just follow what she says, don't disturb her and let her rest for a while, she should be fine."

Huangfu Qingyun responded and watched Feng Lingxi keep calling out for Lin Xi. He instructed, "Go investigate the towns near where Miss Lin fell off the cliff and see if there's a young lady named Lin Xi."

The Emperor and Empress have arrived.

Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly got up and went out to greet them. Seeing his father and mother appear, he hurried out. The emperor and empress had already arrived in front of him.

"Father, Mother, how did you come here"

"I and your mother have heard that the girl you saved has recovered, so we came to take a look."

The Emperor glanced around the room. Huangfu Qingyun invited them in. The two of them looked at the woman lying on the bed, unconscious and constantly calling for Ling Xi. The Emperor stepped forward and took a close look at her face, his expression changing abruptly.

"It really is her."

The Empress hurriedly stepped forward and carefully examined Feng Lingxi's face, also being taken aback. "Your Majesty, it truly is her daughter."

“She looks about 70% like her, it must be her daughter.”

The Emperor let out a soft sigh, "I never expected it to be her."

"Father Emperor, Mother Empress, the one you're speaking of, is she this young lady's mother"

Huangfu Qingyun looked at her father and mother's shocked expressions. Could it be that she was really his own, never-before-met Crown Princess

"She is also the Saint Lord of the Yao clan, and she holds the Purple Star. If I am not mistaken, she is your princess."

Huangpu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi's pale face, his heart was filled with joy, but seeing her painful appearance now, he hurriedly said, "Father Emperor, she has amnesia now and doesn't remember anything from the past. The son thinks, should we notify the Yao Clan and inform them that she is here"

"I'll figure out a way to contact the Yao people, you take care of her."

Huangfu Qingyun responded, "Thank you, Father and Mother. I will take good care of her." Since she was his Crown Princess, he would do everything in his power to protect her, just as his father protected his mother. No matter what had happened to her in the past, before him, for the rest of her life, he would be her protector.

The Emperor and Empress exchanged a glance and left the Crown Prince's residence.

Linxi County, Dugu Cheng had finished his affairs and left Linxi County with Ye Xi. The two disguised themselves as martial arts practitioners and went to the summer dynasty of Huaxia. Arriving in the bustling capital of Huaxia, they showed the portrait around, but got nowhere.

"My Lord, searching like this won't work. Perhaps the Lady Consort isn't in the capital. Maybe we should look around the villages near the cliff. Could it be that she was rescued by a hunter"

Dugu Cheng responded and put away the portrait. He left the capital with his sword and Ye Xi, walking from house to house near the Hunter's Village near the cliff, asking about it.

"Madam, have you seen the young lady in the painting"

Dugu Cheng arrived at the Hunter's Village in the mountains and saw a woman. He rushed forward and grabbed her, asking questions. The woman was using a cane, and the moment Dugu Cheng stopped her, she suddenly swung her cane fiercely at him. Ye Xi quickly grabbed the cane, their eyes met, and Ye Xi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's Feng Madam."

"Mother-in-law."

Dugu City grabbed her arm, his excitement palpable as he gripped it tightly. Only then did Feng Fu realize their appearances, her face a mask of disbelief.

"How are you"

獨孤城 hurriedly helped her into the house and sat her down. Looking at her bandaged foot, he anxiously asked, "Mother-in-law, how did you end up here What happened to your foot"

Feng Fu-ren's expression turned cold as she looked at the two of them.

"I was being chased, I had a bit of an incident. What about you How did you get here"

Wind Lady looked at the two of them, seeing their current attire, she immediately asked, "What about Xi'er Didn't something happen to her"

"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not protecting Xi'er well. She... fell off a cliff. We came here to look for her."

Feng Fu's expression changed abruptly, and she hurriedly asked, "Is it because Zi Xing was harmed"

"Mother, Xi'er is not dead. There was no body of hers at the bottom of the cliff. This King believes she must have been saved by someone. She wouldn't die so easily."

"You are right, she won't die," Feng Fu-ren soothed as she watched Dugu Cheng's excitement. "My daughter wouldn't die so easily."

Dugu City nodded. Feng Fu-ren could see that he was truly heartbroken. Compared to his past self, he now seemed weathered and world-weary, making people feel sympathy for him.

"Take care of yourself, Xi'er doesn't want to see you like this."

"Mother, I want to ask you how you knew that Zixing was already in Xi'er's hands. Did you also fall into your current predicament because of Zixing"

The wind Lady nodded, "Zi Xing's affair has become such a big deal. With the previous emperor's passing and the Empress Dowager taking power, they have lost all humanity for Zi Xing. Added to that, with Shu Fei’s incident, I can basically be sure that Shu Fei had already given Zi Xing to Xi Er.”

The Wind Madam glanced at Ye Xi, "You go outside and guard for us. I'm not safe even after escaping here."

Yè Xī responded and went out to guard.

Feng Fu-ren looked at Du Gu Cheng, “To be honest, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager’s influence has spread throughout the court and even here. Her people are already looking for me. Once they find me, I will only have a dead end. My escorts are now distracting the Empress Dowager’s people. I must return to Yaozu as soon as possible, but with the current situation, I am afraid I would have to trouble Your Highness to escort me.”

獨孤城 frowned, "Yaozu Where is it"

Feng Fu looked at the confusion in his brows, "The Yao clan is my maternal clan and does not belong to any country."

"So that's how it is, do all the Yao people have a '卍' symbol"

Feng Fu's face changed slightly, looking at Du Gu Cheng's questioning eyes, "Have you ever seen people from the Yao Clan"

"They came to assassinate Xi'er."

The Lady of the Wind angrily slammed her fist on the table, "While I'm away, they dare to rebel! They even dared to touch my daughter. It seems something has happened to the Yao Clan as well."

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Fu Ren's imposing manner and already had a general idea in his heart.

"Mother, how far is the Yao tribe from here"

Today the sky is getting dark. It's best to rest here for a night and set off tomorrow. The only problem is that my mother-in-law has hurt her leg, so we need to find a way around that.

"It's only a day's journey, but nobody knows the way to the Yao tribe. With my injured leg, I need to stay here for a few days to recover before I can set off." as we can get out, that's enough."Feng Ling Xi wrapped her arms around Du Gu Cheng's neck, looking into his worried eyes, "I know, I promised you, I'll give you a few children when the time comes.
