Chapter 322: Coup d'état 77
ny rumors of anyone plotting to assassinate the Holy Maiden. We only know that Yao Zhi is unhappy with the Holy Maiden's ascension to power.""We all do what he says, the Saintess sees through everythi..."Miss, the Wangye is naturally also in the mansion. Are you still angry"
Feng Ling hurriedly tidied up her emotions, "Almost exposed, let's go."
Xiaoli looked at the queen's attitude and felt a little worried in her heart. Would the queen really be angry with the king because of this matter The king was quite aggrieved by this.
"Mother."
Feng Lingxi walked to Yao Wan'ying's side, Dugu City reached out and grabbed her hand, "Xier sit here."
Feng Lingxi withdrew her hand and sat down beside Huangfu Qingyun, "My mother asked me to accompany Huangfu Qingyun for a meal, so naturally I sat here."
The intense anger on Dugu Cheng's face made him stiffen slightly. He hadn't cooled down yet
Huangfu Qingyun watched Feng Lingxi's movements. In his opinion, Xi'er wasn't really here to eat with him, but rather to confront Dugu Cheng. He could tell they were having a disagreement, just as Xiaoli said, Xi'er held a grudge against Dugu Cheng for taking her to jump off the cliff.
Yao Wanying, seeing Xi'er's anger and Dugu Cheng's helpless yet guilty expression, smiled and said, "Xi'er, are you quarreling with the Fourth Prince"
"No, who is he angry with"
Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Dugu City's sullen face, "Is it worth it to quarrel with him"
When Dugu City heard her say this, he felt even more depressed in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that... what was she doing now Who was she trying to show
The dishes arrived. Feng Ling Xi's chopsticks just went down, and Dugu Cheng's followed suit. Feng Ling Xi looked up, and Dugu Cheng hurriedly retracted his chopsticks. Feng Ling Xi also withdrew hers. The looks they exchanged changed the atmosphere at the table.
"Xier, your father and I are planning to march on the Kingdom of Garlow. We will join forces with the Fourth Prince to attack them. We may have to set out soon."
Huangfu Qingyun spoke, Feng Lingxi's expression suddenly turned cold. She looked at Dugu City, seeing him bow his head in silence, her own expression also turned cold.
"When will we march"
The time hasn't been set, and the Gallo Nation and Yao Clan rebels are near the Summer Heat Dynasty. They have pushed us to our limits. If we just sit idly by, who can guarantee that the next target of the Gallo Nation won't be us, the Summer Heat Dynasty
Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gu Cheng in silence, "Then why would you want to attack Gallo Country with him He's not from the Huang Xia Dynasty."
This guy actually agreed without even discussing it with her Doesn't he know what his current situation is
Dugu Cheng watched Xi'er mention him and hurriedly explained, "With the army of the Xia Dynasty added to mine, we have more than enough to deal with the Gallo Kingdom. As long as we subdue the Gallo Kingdom, the Yao clan's crisis can also be resolved."
"But wouldn't that be too risky"
Yaowan's eyes were full of worry, "Fourth Prince, you really don't need to get involved in this conflict for the Yao clan."
She owes Xier so much. If this hurts Dugu Cheng, and Xier recovers her memory later, she won't hate her to death.
"With the two nations joining forces, we have full confidence that we can eradicate the Kingdom of Garlos in one fell swoop. This will not only eliminate a threat to the surrounding small countries but also allow them to coexist peacefully. It is not just about helping the Yao clan."
Yao Wan Ying listened to Dugu City's words, her mood sinking.
It made sense, but she knew very well that Dugu Cheng was willing to help because he wanted to protect the Yao Clan. He wanted to safeguard Xi'er's family.
Then I'll go with you at that time too.
Feng Lingxi remained silent for a long time before speaking, but she was immediately rejected by both Dugu City and Huangfu Qingyun. "No, you can't go."
"Why won't you let me go"
Feng Lingxi looked at the two of them speaking in unison, "Looking down on me"
"Xier, warfare is not a place for women," Huangfu Qingyun frowned, puzzled by Xier's persistence. Was this her personality from before So stubborn and headstrong.
Unless your memory recovers, you have the ability to protect yourself.
Du Gu Cheng then spoke, Feng Ling Xi hearing his words, forcefully suppressing the anger in her heart and said, "Fine, I'm not going."
Think about trying to trick her Don't even think about it! Isn't she just waiting here anyway
They were at war, and she stayed here. She didn't believe it, wouldn't go with them. She couldn't stay here.
A trace of loss flashed in Dugu City's eyes, is Xi'er still unable to recover her memory like this
He still thought that after he finished speaking, Xi'er would say she had recovered her memory. It seemed that he had overthought it.
"Please stop arguing and eat first."
Yao Wan Ying clipped dishes for Feng Ling Xi, "Xi'er, the prince is right, you are a daughter of a noble family, don't follow them to fight. Stay at home and wait for them to return. You haven't recovered your memory yet. If you go with them, they will have to divide their attention to protect you."
"Mother, I'm not going."
Feng Lingxi forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart. Now that the plan had changed, Dugu Cheng and Huangfu Qingyun were going to attack Gallo Country. Could they really defeat Gallo Country
"Can you win"
Feng Lingxi watched the two of them, seeing their confident nods, she curled her lip, "Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
"Xi'er, if we truly go to war, I will have to return to Linxi County these days to prepare. Will you come back with me"
Feng Lingxi looked at the expectation in Dugu Cheng's eyes, and opened her eyes, "Why should I go back with you My mother is here, my home is here."
"That's fine then."
Dugu Cheng nodded. After he was defeated, he would come here to take Xi'er back. She hadn't recovered her memory yet, so it was impossible for her to go back with him.
Even if he returned, taking her to Linxi County wouldn't be safe. It's better here.
After the meal, Dugu Cheng and Huangfu Qingyun left, discussing their plan to attack Galo Nation. Feng Lingxi watched them go without bothering her, and returned to her room to refine medicine. For her, not telling Dugu Cheng about her recovered memory meant she remained amnesiac Feng Lingxi, allowing him to understand everything she did.
"Miss, both the Wangye and the Crown Prince are planning to attack Gallo Kingdom. Don't you tell him that you have recovered your memories"
Xiao Li watched as the Princess manipulated the medicinal herbs, then stepped forward and snatched them from her.
"Miss, could you consider how the prince feels If he knew you'd recovered your memory, he would certainly be overjoyed. He might even take you with him on campaign, wouldn't that be good too Besides, with a princess at his side, our chances of victory against the Kingdom of Gallo would be even greater."
"It's not as simple as you imagine. If the attack on Gallo Kingdom were truly a sure thing, they would dedicate all their efforts to fighting back. Yao Feifei would definitely leave Gallo Kingdom and look for an opportunity to take Zi Xing from me. Without the protection of Huangfu Qingyun and Dugu City, this would be a huge opportunity for Yao Feifei, and she certainly wouldn't miss it. I'll just wait for her to come."
Feng Lingxi met Xiao Li's astonished gaze, a sneer curling at the corner of her lips, "Don't forget, Yao Feifei has several people around her. Once Galuo Country loses its value in cooperation, they will definitely find a way to get Zixing and find other partners, such as the Empress Dowager who has always wanted Zixing. Isn't her person here too"
Xiao Li was drenched in cold sweat at the Queen's words.
"So, Your Highness had this planned all along"hould be fine.""Do you know Luo Li"Du Gucheng and Shangguan Huan looked at Qiu'er in astonishment. Seeing her nod, but unwilling to say more.Shangguan Huan looked at Dugu Cheng, both of their eyes wer...
