Chapter 520: Conspiracy 7
s face changed slightly, and she said with a smile, "Xier, I don't want your dowry. I just want to organize it so that when you get married, you can have a grand entrance as a bride.""The dowry is fro...Dugu Cheng looked at the signature above, and at the wish tree over there, “Why did Xi'er's wish slip just happen to fall down”
Xi'er wrote on top, hoping to spend her life with him.
It was just such a simple sentence, but Dugu Cheng felt the longing in Xi'er's heart when she wrote down this wish. This feeling made Dugu Cheng ache; he didn't know if he held such a place in Xi'er's heart.
To simply want to spend a lifetime together, is that really a luxury for Xi'er
"My lord, there's a letter."
Dugu Cheng's confidant hurried forward, handing Dugu Cheng a letter in his hand. "The messenger said that the King should open it himself,"
Dugu City opened the letter and saw the contents. He immediately asked, "Where is the person who sent this"
"At the foot of the mountain."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly ran out, rode his horse down the mountain, and saw the carriage waiting there. He hurried forward, and the people in the carriage got off and bowed to Dugu Cheng.
"Lord Sīwáng, My lord has invited you."
Dugu Cheng got into the carriage and after several hours arrived at a quiet town. He stopped in front of a mansion and got out of the carriage. Looking up at the plaque above the door, he saw the words "Xiang Mansion" written on it. Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Xi and saw him shake his head, his brow furrowed.
Is this Xiangfu the residence of the Third Princess's family
Otherwise, why would there be this plaque
"Please, Four Kings."
Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi followed each other into the Xiangfu. Looking at the luxurious decorations inside, no worse than his own palace, he curiously asked the guard beside him, "Who is the master of this Xiangfu"
"Fourth Uncle, you should ask Third Uncle later. He'll tell you."
Dugu Cheng saw that he didn't speak, and didn't ask any further. Xi'er had been missing for several days. Dugu Yu only sent someone to inform him about this. He didn't know the reason behind it, but a gap arose in his heart. His third brother was probably no longer the same as before.
"Third Master, Fourth Master have arrived."
Dugu Cheng was brought to the front hall and saw Dugu Yu sitting in the front hall. Seeing him arrive, Dugu Yu got up, a smile on his face as usual, "Fourth brother, I'm being presumptuous by inviting you here."
Dugu Cheng glanced around, "Third Brother, how did you end up here"
“This is your royal sister-in-law’s family home. This king has been staying here these past few days.”
"So that's how it is, no wonder I couldn't find you at the Third Prince's Mansion these past few days."
獨孤宇看著他眸中的懷疑,淡淡地說,“在京城裡我待著也會引起皇上和太後不悅,這裡離京城不過幾個時辰的路程,倒也是清靜的。”
"Third brother, where's Xi'er Is she really here"
Dugu Yu saw him asking about Feng Lingxi, and thinking of his beloved wife who was still poisoned and hadn't been cured, he nodded.
The other day, this king had her brought back from the temple. I didn't tell you, so you must have been worried.
“Third Brother, why would you do this Don’t you know how I’ve been these past few days I thought she…” Before Dugu Cheng could finish his words, Dugu Yu interrupted him. “I know what I did was excessive, but I was trying to help you. After I learned that Shu Taifei had been kidnapped, I took the Fourth Princess hostage to frame the黑衣人. I figured they would expose their whereabouts because of this. These past few days, I’ve been searching for Shu Taifei’s whereabouts. Whether you believe it or not, this is my explanation.”
Dugu Yu's explanation made Dugu Cheng feel terrified. For the first time, he realized that he really didn't know his third brother at all. Kidnapping his woman and not notifying him for days, and openly admitting to his actions, was truly an eye-opener.
"Third brother, why didn't you tell me At least let me know Xi'er is here with you, so I can rest easy."
"Does San Wangye know that my Wangye hasn't slept for days, searching tirelessly for Shu Taifei and the Madam These days, he doesn't know how he's getting through it."
Ye Xi was furious. Hearing such pompous words from a kidnapper for the first time, she thought of the princess being held here and felt extremely displeased.
Dugu Yu looked apologetic.
"I intended to tell you, but just as I was about to, I encountered those men in black. They made a deal with me, and for the sake of Imperial Concubine Shu, I agreed not to tell you."
"Third brother, do you have news about Mother"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Cheng was excited and stepped forward to ask. Dugu Yu nodded, his expression grave.
"This matter is rather troublesome, Fourth Brother. You must keep your cool."
"Third brother, please speak. This king is listening."
Dugu Yu saw that he had calmed his emotions, and then slowly said, "After I kidnapped the Fourth Princess, the imperial court's pursuit order led the黑衣人 to me. Their information was extremely well-connected, they knew she was in my hands."
"How did they know that Xi'er was taken by you"
"They probably also had the intention of abducting the Fourth Princess, but I got there first."
Dugu Yu looked at the disbelief in his eyes and asked calmly, "Fourth brother, do you know who the man in black is"
"Who is it"
"Dugu Xiu."
Dugu Cheng's heart skipped a beat. How could it be him How could Dugu Xiu do such a stupid thing This was too much.
"Thank you, Third Brother, for telling me this. I want to see Xier."
When it comes to Feng Ling Xi, Du Gu Yu's eyes flashed a cold light, gone in a flash, concealed very well, yet not escaping Du Gu Cheng's gaze. Looking at the smile on Du Gu Yu's face, he could no longer believe him.
"To be honest, I wasn't going to tell you about her message here. After all, my deal with Dugu Xiu is not yet complete. However, the Fourth Princess poisoned your Third Empress Sister-in-law. If she isn't cured within seven days, your sister-in-law will die. That's why I told you. But I also have to tell you that seeing the Fourth Princess now probably won't make it so easy to save your Empress Dowager."
"Why is Third Brother saying this Since he knows it was Dugu Xiu who took Mother away, why doesn't he release her"
"Your mother concubine is not in the capital."
Du Gu Yu's words caused Du Gu Cheng's face to change drastically, his voice becoming extremely cold, "Where did he hide Mother"
"I don't know, he didn't tell me. That's also why I agreed not to tell you. The reason the Fourth Princess is here with me... now that Du Gu Xiu definitely knows you're here looking for Shu Taifei, it will be even harder."
Implied was that Xi'er had harmed her mother, Concubine. Dugu Cheng looked into Dugu Yu's eyes, seeing his turmoil. Dugu Yu continued, "If it wasn't for the Fourth Princess giving poison to the Third Imperial Consort, things wouldn't have become so complicated. But this is all my fault, I should clear things up with her. Making things this way now is truly inappropriate."
"Third Brother, Xi'er's personality is just like that. Third Brother, you've done so much for me, I'll never forget it. Later, I'll talk to Xi'er and make things clear."
Du Guyu nodded. "That's good, I haven't explained it to her yet. She probably harbors resentment towards me. Oh, it's all my fault."
