Chapter 313: Seize Power (68)

looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with suppressed anger. She had never been so humble and servile to anyone before. If it hadn't been for the King's words, she wouldn't have pleaded with Feng Lin..."Xi'er, you're awake."

Dugu Cheng embraced her joyfully. Feng Ling Xi slowly opened her eyes, her frail appearance made Dugu Cheng regretful; he had been impulsive.

Feng Lingxi nodded, struggling to sit up. Dugu Cheng hurriedly supported her, leaning against his chest, and apologized, "Xier, I'm sorry. It was all my impulsiveness. It was all my fault. I promise I won't do it again next time."

"Dugu Cheng, it's good to see you."

Feng Lingxi squeezed out a smile at him, recalling their past. She knew he had come to the Aoxiang Dynasty to find her, and that he had chosen not to reveal his identity to avoid causing her headaches. He even made a bet with Huangpu Qingyun about it. Her heart warmed at his actions.

She never expected that after falling off the cliff, she would still be alive. As she was falling, she thought to herself, "Am I going to die again" But luckily, she was favored by heaven. Because of the branches on the cliff face, her body did not suffer fatal injuries, only rolling down and not hurting any vital parts.

"Xier, what's wrong with you"

Dugu Cheng reached out to touch her forehead, his eyes full of worry. "Is something wrong Why are you speaking so erratically Don't scare me."

Feng Lingxi just watched her, smiling without speaking.

"My Lord, what's wrong with the Princess"

He burst out laughing, his whole body bristling. Could it be that he'd forgotten again, jumping back to before he married the King Was he acting foolishly once more

Otherwise, how would she have this expression, it's creepy.

獨孤城 looked at Xi'er without speaking, worriedly reaching out to touch her forehead to make sure she wasn't feverish, and checked her over again, making sure she wasn't injured.

"I'm just a little dizzy, jumping from that high. My legs are still shaking."

Feng Lingxi made up an excuse and leaned against him, closing her eyes.

"Are you really okay"

Alone City's relentless questioning continued, and seeing her nod, he still felt uneasy.

"Ye Xi, come and get your horse. We're going back now so the doctor can check you over."

Dugu Cheng picked up Feng Lingxi, mounted his horse, and galloped straight to the capital.

Back at the mansion, Duguo Cheng had Ye Xi call a doctor. Yao Wan Ying, who came hearing the commotion, saw Duguo Cheng carrying Xi'er back, and her expression was filled with worry, "Fourth Prince, what happened to Xi'er"

"My stepmother is to blame for all this. She shouldn't have dragged Xi'er to the cliff and scared her."

Duke Gucheng felt very guilty. Looking at Xi'er who was sleeping soundly, he was truly afraid that something might happen to her. He had finally found Xi'er, and absolutely couldn't let anything happen to her.

"What kind of cliff jumping are you doing What on earth is going on"

Dugu Cheng explained, and Yao Wan'ying didn't know what to say. Xi'er wanted to go see the top of the cliff, so Dugu Cheng took her to jump off the cliff. These two really don't make her worry.

The doctor came to examine Feng Lingxi and confirmed that she was fine. However, Dugu Cheng was still not at ease and asked again, "Doctor, are you sure that Xi'er is really alright Has she hurt her head or any other part of her body"

The girl is fine, just a bit over-scared.

The doctor spoke again, observing their anxious faces, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "If sir doesn't believe me, he can always consult other doctors,"

Since the doctor said it's nothing to worry about, the Fourth Prince shouldn't be concerned.

"Come, escort the doctor out," Yao Wan'ying said.

Dugu Cheng held Feng Ling Xi's hand, "Xi'er is still unconscious, this king simply can't rest assured."

"Go to the Crown Prince's residence and find the Crown Prince. Ask him to summon Dr. Zhang."

Dugu Cheng heard the word "Prince's Mansion" and immediately spoke up, "Don't let Huangfu Qingyun know. He should be out of the Prince's Mansion right now. We ran into Yao Feifei and the assassins sent by the Galuo Nation today, but unfortunately, we didn't catch Yao Feifei or the Galuo Nation's prince. Huangfu Qingyun should still be dealing with these assassins."

"Yao Feifei made a move"

Yao Wan'ying's eyes turned cold. "How could you not send anyone to notify me about this This is a matter concerning my Yao Clan, and it can't be entirely left to the Arah Xia Dynasty to handle."

Dugu Cheng tucked the blanket around Xi'er, "Mother-in-law, this matter concerns both the Yao clan and the Huang Xia Dynasty. Moreover, it was captured by Huangfu Qingyun. Mother-in-law need not rush to interrogate the assassin immediately. Handing him over to Huangfu Qingyun would be more appropriate."

Yao Wan Ying nodded, "I was impulsive. Since it was the Prince who caught him, let the Prince interrogate him. I believe he will notify me once he has a result."

"You stay here with Xi'er, I'm going out for a bit."

After Yao Wan Ying left, Dugu Cheng stayed by Feng Ling Xi's bedside, watching her as she remained unconscious. His eyes were filled with anxiety, but he didn't know what to do.

"My lord."

Ye Xi knocked on the door. Dugu Cheng got up and walked out, "What's the matter"

General Li sent a message saying that Dugu Xiu was causing trouble for Linxi County again.

"What news from the Imperial Court"

獨孤修 couldn't pose any threat to him. With his previous injuries, he could stay subdued for a while. Besides, he knew what 獨孤修 was thinking; he wanted 獨孤雁's position. As emperors' sons, 獨孤修 wouldn't submit to 獨孤雁.

"Things at the imperial court were quite interesting. Rumors spread that Wind Linglong's child was lost. The Empress and Wind Linglong fought tooth and nail, while Yun Gui Fei gained favor. However, Xi Gui Fei became even more intriguing. Upon returning to the palace, she received day and night attention, but she was pushed down by the jealous Wind Linglong, who claimed she had caused her to miscarry. The entire inner palace was filled with smoke and haze, so much so that it angered the Dowager Empress almost to death."

"So, the Emperor still has no heirs"

He wasn't interested in the sisters' feud, it was too much of a drama. He didn't expect retribution to fall on Dugu Yan.

"If one keeps falling out, they probably won't have children for the rest of their lives."

Ye Xi wore a gleeful expression. “Your Majesty, I wonder how much turmoil Empress Dowager is feeling right now. Sixth Prince's attack failed, the Princess fell off a cliff, and she doesn't know that the Princess is alive yet. She also can't find Zi Xing. She’ll probably be driven mad by all those women in the palace.”

"This palace intrigue holds no interest for this king. I shall continue to observe the Empress Dowager and report any developments immediately."

The Empress Dowager caused the child to fall off a cliff, and there was also the wind and rain evening, Dugu Xiu. He must settle this score with them properly.

"Understood, my lord. We have acted according to your instructions and will not slacken our efforts."

Yexi glanced around the room. "Your Highness, is the Crown Princess still asleep"

"The doctor said she was over-shocked and that there was nothing serious wrong with her."

"My Lord, there's something strange that I find... I don't know if it's appropriate to speak of it" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ye Xi opened her mouth, meeting the king's gaze, and hurriedly said with a smile, "My subordinate felt that when the princess woke up, she looked at the king with strange eyes and spoke strangely."

"Where's the oddity" Dugu City raised an eyebrow.

"My subordinate thinks the Princess looks at the Prince just like she did before she lost her memory. However, the Princess hasn't said that she has recovered her memories, so my subordinate doesn't dare to make assumptions."

"You mean, Xi'er recovered her memory"

Dugu Cheng narrowed his eyes, if he had truly recovered his memory, why wouldn't Xi'er recognize himhe became like this""Father means I'm going to kill Mother"Feng Lingxi's voice was extremely cold, her icy eyes fixed on him, "Father, don't forget how Mother's health deteriorated. Do I have to say i...
