Chapter 299: Seize Power 54

t as the Empress'. No one could guarantee that Liu, the deputy general, would be loyal to him.Dugu Cheng said dejectedly, "Even so, you can't just shove me like this into her arms. You know I don't l...Wind Ling, seeing his furrowed brows, hurriedly said, "Or else I'll call you Prince Li Qingyun. But you are the Crown Prince, for me to do so would be disrespectful. If they heard me, they would gossip about me again."

Feng Lingxi lowered her head, the sadness in her eyes made Huangfu Qingyun feel heartbroken. He grasped her hand, "Who dared to say that about you Tell me, and I'll deal with them."

"How many people can the Crown Prince handle with all this talk"

Feng Lingxi's words caused Huangpu Qingyun's body to tremble. "What about Dugu City Why didn't you call him Fourth Prince, but instead called him Dugu City Aren't you afraid that people will say you are disrespectful"

"Isn't there just my mother around him No one knows about it."

Feng Ling Xi's explanation left Huang Fu Qing Yun feeling depressed. It turned out that she cared about what the people around her thought of her.

"Xier, are you afraid of Mother, that's why you refuse to call me by my name"

"Of course not, I just feel that as a prince, it wouldn't be proper for me to call you by your name."

As soon as Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Huangfu Qingyun couldn't help but retort, "Then why don't you say it's inappropriate to call Dugu City by his name"

He was jealous, hearing Xi'er differentiate the treatment she gave him and Dugu City. He felt very uncomfortable inside, knowing she was married to Dugu City, yet still selfishly wanting to fight for her, making Xi'er be with him instead.

He felt selfish, but wasn't love always selfish

Feng Lingxi saw that his face was amiss and quickly soothed him, "Then if you feel this way, I'll just call your name from now on."

But his name had four characters, and she always felt strange when she called him by it directly.

"Huangpu Qingyun, do you think this is okay to call you"

Feng Lingxi gritted her teeth and shouted, she always felt that it wasn't right to shout without mentioning Dugu City. It just felt weird.

Huangfu Qingyun's complexion had improved considerably.

"Don't call me by my surname, just call me Qingyun."

"This..."

Feng Lingxi's expression was embarrassed. Was this too intimate a greeting Perhaps she should have been more reserved around Huangpu Qingyun.

Then you can call me City, no need for a last name.

Dugu Cheng walked in with a smile. Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng and instantly a smile lit up her face as she hurried towards him, "Dugu Cheng, how did you come here"

"Didn't you say you weren't feeling well I finished talking with the Queen and came to see you."

Dugu City's eyes were gentle, and the smile on his handsome face made Huangfu Qingyun feel uncomfortable, "Fourth Prince, Xi'er is fine now, thank you for your concern."

Dugu City nodded, “That’s good. Get some rest and drink plenty of hot water.”

"Dugu City, does drinking hot water cure your headache"

Feng Lingxi charged at him with a brilliant smile. Seeing Du Gucheng laugh, the smile on her face grew even wider.

"Drinking hot water can ease some symptoms."

Huangfu Qingyun watched Xi'er look at Duguo City with her eyes, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Dugu Cheng looked at Huangfu Qingyun's eyes and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that Miss Lin is in good spirits. Why don't we accompany her to stroll through the Imperial Garden together"

She needs to rest.

Huangfu Qingyun again emphasized that he did not want Xi'er to accompany Dugucheng out, and he did not want Xi'er to have too much contact with him.

Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, “I’m not tired, let’s go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.”

Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at the expectation in her eyes, but couldn't refuse her.

"If you're going to feel unwell later, please tell me. Don't push yourself."

"I understand, let's go."

Feng Lingxi smiled at Dugu City and hurried out. Dugu City watched Feng Lingxi's leaving figure and immediately chased after her. Huangfu Qingyun watched them like this, feeling that he was more like an outsider. This feeling made him even more uncomfortable in his heart.

"Fourth Master, please wait."

Huangfu Qingyun stopped Dugu Cheng and walked to his side. "Fourth Prince, you should know about Xi'er's physical condition. If you force her to think about the past, she might get a headache. Since Fourth Prince hopes for Xi'er's well-being, I believe you know what to do."

獨孤城的唇邊笑容擴大，“太子殿下說的本王自然知道，也冇有想過強迫夕兒回憶以前的事情。”

“Well then, Xi'er although she has lost her previous memories, she is very happy now.”

Dugu City nodded, "It's clear that although she doesn't remember me, her first impression of me seems to be quite good. I suppose it is due to her simple nature after the amnesia."

"Xier was indeed innocent. When this palace saved her that day, she cried out for help, 'Save me, save me.' She must have been very desperate at that time, wasn't she"

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Dugu City, "Although this palace doesn't know what happened to Xi'er, I believe that the Fourth Prince has a clear understanding in his heart."

The smile on Dugu City's face gradually disappeared, and he hurriedly chased after, "Did Xi'er really call for help"

"Would this palace deceive you"

Huangfu Qingyun was obviously displeased, and Du Gucheng hurriedly explained, “No, I just think it’s strange.”

It seems like he still needs to ask Xiaoli for clarification, hoping there are no misunderstandings.

Hurry up.

Wind Ling Xi walked out and saw them still standing there. She shouted loudly, Xiao Li hurriedly pulled her and whispered, "Miss, this is the palace, speak softly."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng and Huangfu Qingyun, "They said they would accompany me to stroll through the Imperial Garden, yet they were whispering there."

Xiaoli glanced over there and softly said, "Perhaps they have something important to discuss."

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes drooped, and she didn't speak.

"Miss, what do you think of the Fourth Prince"

Xiao Li saw her silence and hurriedly found a topic to ask, wanting to find out the princess's intentions.

"Pretty good, looks nice and is kind to people."

When Feng Lingxi talked about Dugu City, her eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, and her whole person was different.

Then, what do you think of His Royal Highness

"Looks good, treats me well."

The sparkle in Xiao Li's eyes disappeared instantly, "Are they all the same"

"They're all the same, aren't they Where is the difference"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's dejected expression, "Xiaoli, don't you feel this way"

"I…"

Although the Crown Prince is a good man, the Princess has already married the King. She can't be with the Crown Prince, especially since the King deeply loves her and they have feelings for each other. Now this situation feels embarrassing for everyone involved.

"Miss, if you were to choose a husband for yourself, would you choose the Crown Prince"

"Have to choose just one"

Wind Lingxi furrowed her brow, looking at Dugu City and Huangfu Qingyun walking towards them, feeling very embarrassed.

Xiao Li nodded, feeling like her heart was about to burst out of her chest. Would the Princess choose the Prince

Being the Princess Consort is no good, I don't want to. But I've only just met Dugu City, and I don't want to be with him either.

"Miss, choose one."

Little Li urged, "Just pick one."

"I don't know."

Feng Lingxi was startled by Xiao Li's gaze and hurriedly ran towards Du Gucheng, "Why are you two so slow, the sun is about to set."ood at everything.""Xiao Mi, if you want to open a shop, I'll give you that hotpot restaurant. You can think there slowly. Maybe one day, you'll meet that martial arts master, and he'll tell you how t...
