Chapter 449: Revenge 93

g Lingxi to be so sharp in her reply."Fourth Princess Consort, today the Emperor has set a banquet to celebrate the Fourth Prince's achievements. Your words are making things awkward. This kind of tal..."Having a son"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly retreated three steps, looking at Dugu City's eyes filled with vigilance. What was wrong with this guy today He came back and told her about having a son

Dugu Cheng saw her like this, nodded, and suddenly shook his head.

"Impossible, you cannot give birth to a son. What if your son comes out and competes for the king's favor Wouldn't I be even worse off"

Feng Ling Xi's lips twitched slightly, he was indeed thinking long-term. Did she say she wanted to help him have children

"Dugu Cheng, what's wrong with you Why are you bringing this up"

Under the current circumstances, is it possible to have children

Dugu Cheng hurriedly clasped her shoulders, his movements as if Feng Lingxi were his brother. He chuckled heartily, "This king just had a sudden whim and thought about it. Xi'er, the timing is not right now, we can't have a child."

Xi'er is so sensitive, he needs to think things through carefully.

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking of Dugu Xiu's matter, her beautiful eyes darkened slightly, "Do you know about Dugu Xiu The imperial decree has come down, asking you to hand over your military power to him. I just don't know if it's all your military power or just the part you received from the court this time. You have to find out clearly and think about it early."

The smile on Dugu City's face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"I heard about the imperial edict as soon as I returned, and I've investigated it. This imperial edict from Dugu Yan wants me to hand over all 500,000 troops. How naive."

"No wonder Dugu Xiu is so eager to get his military power back. It seems you need to find a way to keep the military power under control."

Dugu Cheng curled his lips, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. “Now the military power is in my hands. Even if I don't give it to Dugu Xiu, what can they do Could they possibly issue an order to imprison me Now Dugu Xiu is nothing but a shell. Dugu Yan is barely safe in the capital, and the Empress Dowager is a smart woman. She wouldn't be so foolish as to take back all my military power. At most, she would have me hand over the military power that Dugu Xiu had taken.”

Feng Lingxi frowned, "How could this Dugu Yan be so foolish, such an imperial edict came down"

It's just a chorus, nothing more.

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's worried eyes and comforted, "Don't worry, everything is fine. With this king here, your mother is also doing well. There won't be any problems, just rest assured."

"Where's my mother Is she alright"

"Your mother is the Saintess of the Yao Clan. How could the Empress harm her for the sake of the Yao Clan's treasure Besides, she currently needs your mother to threaten you. She wouldn't hurt them until she achieves her goal."

With Dugu City's words, Feng Lingxi's heart was much at ease. She realized that these past few days, she had been worrying too much.

"When I just came back, I heard that Dugu Xiu was poisoned. Was it you who did it"

Feng Lingxi shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression, "This isn't my fault, he ate too much and had nothing to do. He insisted on filming me making poison powder. There are a lot of snakes, bugs, rats, and ants near the camp recently, so I just wanted to make some poison powder to get rid of them."

"Serves him right, as long as he doesn't die, I don't care about him."

Feng Lingxi thought about Feng Yixuan and what he had said, "We should still try to get Feng Aotiān here. This Feng Yixuan is not someone to underestimate. I want Feng Aotiān to come and subdue him. Even if there's internal strife, it's our business. Don't drag treason into it, or both of us will be implicated."

"This King has already sent word back to the capital. Whether Feng Aotian will come is his own business. Xi'er, you shouldn't always think about these things. Your relationship with the Feng family is like this, how could Feng Aotian be so cruel to you"

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this from Dugu City, felt a pang in her heart despite its being the truth.

"What are you going to do next Just wait for news like this Did you catch Feng Yixuan and Dugu Xiu colluding with the Heavenly Revelation Kingdom"

"The person has been caught, but they refuse to admit it. Whether they can deny the crime is still unknown. This king wants to go and see Dugu Xiu."

"Then go on, this one will probably be able to blink in a while."

Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu Cheng laugh and cry. She remained calm, but it was understandable that Dugu Xiu treated Xi'er like this; he deserved it.

"Be back later."

Dugu Cheng leaned down and kissed her face before leaving the military camp.

Inside Dugu Xiu's camp, the army doctor gave Dugu Xiu a serious check-up. Feng Yixuan paced anxiously beside him. Dugu Xiu lay on the bed, his eyes wide open, his limbs numb, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, unable to speak. However, even so, one could feel the anger in Dugu Xiu's eyes.

Dugu Cheng entered the military camp and was immediately taken aback by Dugu Xiu's poisoned appearance. Feng Yixuan stepped forward to stop him.

"Fourth Master, Sixth Master has been poisoned. Please, Fourth Master, stop."

"Poisoned"

Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, feigning confusion.

"What happened, Sixth Brother Why was he poisoned How come no one reported this to me"

Feng Yixuan clenched his fists and met Dugu Cheng's gaze, saying calmly, "For this matter, Fourth Prince should ask Fourth Princess. Sixth Prince has no grievances with her, why treat him like this"

"Do you have any connection with He Xier"

Du Gu Cheng walked in front of Du Gu Xiu, looking at the anger in his eyes that was about to burst out. He pretended not to see it and asked, "Sixth brother, what did Xi'er do to you Tell me truthfully, and Fourth brother will definitely help you settle this."

"The Sixth Prince cannot speak now, Fourth Prince, you…"

Before Feng Yixuan could finish his words, Dugu City rebuked him in a sharp voice, “This King and Sixth Brother are speaking, when did it become your turn to interject”

Feng Yixuan was clenched his fists at Dugucheng's roar, veins of suppressed anger visibly throbbing on his forehead. If not for the current situation, how could he endure such humiliation from Dugucheng His elder sister was right, both Dugucheng and Feng Lingxi were formidable opponents. He had to bide his time and wait for the opportune moment.

Du Gucheng saw Feng Yi Xuan remained silent and turned to Du Gu Xiu, "Sixth Brother, you should tell Fourth Brother what happened between you and Xi'er"

Dugu Xiu glared at Dugu Cheng. If his eyes could kill, he would have killed Dugu Cheng tens of thousands of times over.

"Why are you silent Is it because I am your sister-in-law, and you can't bring yourself to speak"

Dugu Cheng spoke to himself, ignoring the anger in his eyes, and sighed.

"Since you're unwilling to speak, Fourth Brother will go back and ask Xi'er. You should focus on recovering from your injuries. As for taking back military command, your current state doesn't allow it. For now, the military command remains with Fourth Brother. We'll discuss it again when you've recovered."

Dugu Cheng's words made Dugu Xiu's eyes widen, his throat rolling but unable to make a sound. He could only stare blankly as Dugu Cheng left.

"Sixth Prince, the Fourth Prince is clearly using your poisoning as an excuse to delay handing over military command. You need to recover quickly and not let him get away with it."

Feng Yi Xuan reminded, Du Gu Xiu glared at him, Feng Yi Xuan hurriedly asked the army doctor to help Du Gu Xiu with the antidote.

But no matter what antidote the military doctor gave, Du Gu Xiu couldn't get better. By the next morning, Du Gu Xiu's condition worsened, his lips turned black. Feng Yi Xuan could only ask Feng Ling Xi to save him.to take Feng Lingxi away at this crucial moment, then he would truly be despicable.Huangpu Qingyun also saw Li Wu's gaze and couldn't help but feel a mix of helplessness and annoyance, but he swallowe...
