Chapter 1032: Metamorphosis (Part 106)

probing in his eyes, Feng Lingxi said again, "If there's nothing else, I'll go in first."As she passed him, Dugu Xiu reached out and stopped her. "Fourth Princess Consort, please wait."Feng Lingxi tur..."What does the Queen mean"

"If I can keep an eye on him, I will. If not, then so be it. As long as he doesn't come looking for me, I'll pretend I haven't seen him." Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and her beautiful eyes darkened. "I just hope his purpose for coming here has nothing to do with me."

Thinking of her mother and her words, Feng Lingxi could no longer look at Luoli with the same eyes as before. Perhaps this time he came for her, but she still hoped it wasn't true. But, could it be her mother

Wind Ling was lost, wanting to search for answers but knowing there were none to be found.

Xiaoli looked at the confusion in the princess's eyes and nodded, "This servant will go now, but Your Highness should still be careful. Things have been unsettled recently, with the appearance of Feng Lingyu and that mysterious black-clothed man, neither of whom has been found. Your Highness mustn't lose your composure."

I know.

This mansion is fully infiltrated, there will be no problems.

Just the appearance of Luoli made Feng Lingxi's heart feel very chaotic. She wanted to know, but couldn't know. This feeling was just like thousands of ants crawling on you, making you itch and uncomfortable.

In the capital city during the sweltering summer, at Prince Hof's mansion, Huangfu Qingyun received a tip that he had seen Luoli's figure. He sent someone to investigate, but they couldn't find Luoli. The moment they spotted her, she disappeared.

After much deliberation, Huangfu Qingyun wrote a letter to Feng Lingxi and Dugu City, informing them of Luoli's appearance in the Chao Xia Dynasty.

"Qingyun, this palace heard that you are going to break off your engagement with Qiao Shuyue. Why is that"

The Empress entered, and Huangpu Qingyun put away the letter in his hand. This action fell into the Empress's eyes, her gaze filled with unconcealable anger.

"Is it for Feng Lingxi again"

"Mother, please don't misunderstand. I didn't do this to humiliate Feng Ling Xi. The situation has changed, and I simply had to pass on a message to her. The decision to break the engagement was not made lightly. I promise you that I will find a suitable candidate for the position of Crown Princess as soon as possible."

Huangfu Qingyun knew his mother had strong opinions about Feng Lingxi. He always thought it was Xi'er who caused him to be where he was now, refusing to marry a wife. But only he knew the truth – this was all his own doing.

"Mother isn't saying anything bad about her, she just already has a child with Dugu City. You waited for her, wasn't your father waiting for Yao Wan Ying He married Mother in the end, and he wouldn't have been so stubborn without her. Me and your father are also loving each other our whole lives now."

"My son understands. My son will marry as soon as possible. My son also hopes to find a woman like mother, who is both interesting and charming, just like father emperor found with mother. I hope we can be happily married for life."

"You, child."

The Empress' anger had subsided somewhat. Huangfu Qingyun smiled and said, "Mother Empress, your son will definitely marry as soon as possible and won't worry you and Father Emperor. However, this Qiao Shuyue is truly unsuitable. Mother Empress, think about it, if you find a woman who agrees with you on everything, who is obedient in every way, what's the difference between marrying her and a maidservant"

"Alright, as long as you're willing to take a wife, your mother won't say anything more. If you don't like Qiao Shuyue, then just call off the engagement. But you have to decide soon, don't make your mother and father worry."

"Thank you, Mother. I will definitely return as soon as possible."

Huangfu Qingyun let out a breath, watching his mother leave, and hurried to get things done.

"Your Highness, I just received word that Feng Yu Xi and Luo Li met."

Did they meet

Huangfu Qingyun frowned, “How could she have met her Could it be that Luoli and Feng Yu Xi really have something they’re not telling us”

"I don't know, sir."

In the letter, Huangfu Qingyun once again added a note and handed it to the man. "You must personally deliver this letter to the Fourth Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince, telling them about Luoli and Feng Yu Xi's meeting in Huangxia Dynasty. Advise them to be more careful."

To everyone's surprise, Dugu Cheng and Dugu Yu rode back together. Dugu Yu moved straight into the mansion and lived there, acting as close as brothers. Such a change left Feng Lingxi astonished and puzzled.

"Third Prince, this time you truly have considered it carefully and won't be vying for the throne"

At the dinner table, Shutai asked, looking at the smile on Duguo Yu's face, Feng Lingxi remained silent.

"Your Highness, after this incident, this King no longer thinks about seizing the throne. However, this King cannot, but the Fourth Prince can."

"This king is no good either, life here is quite pleasant. What's the point of talking about these things"

Dugu Cheng hurriedly changed the subject, and Shu Taifei smiled. "Cheng'er is right, although life in Linxi County is poor, it has food and drink, freedom, and most importantly, he can play with Ai's precious Wan'er. How comfortable is that."

Du Guyu looked at Wener, his eyes full of envy.

"This king has always wanted a child, but unfortunately, it was not to be."

"Third Brother, Wan'er calls you Imperial Uncle, Wan'er is also your child."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly said to Wan'er, "Wan'er, call your uncle."

"Emperor Su."

Wan'er gritted her teeth and shouted, causing Dugu Yu to burst into laughter. Feng Lingxi looked at their harmonious scene and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Wan'er still didn't call her "mother," she was even closer to Dugu Yu than she was.

Feng Lingxi's loneliness didn't escape Dugu City's eyes. Holding her hand, his gaze soothed her. Feng Lingxi smiled back and continued eating.

After the meal, Feng Lingxi ate in a gloomy silence. She listened to Wan'er giggle and call "Huang Su," but there was no mention of "Mother" from her. Feng Lingxi didn't know how much longer she could bear it.

"Wan'er, would you like to sleep with your parents tonight"

Dugu Cheng held Wan'er in his arms and asked for her opinion. Wan'er looked at Feng Lingxi and shook her head, "No."

"If you don't sleep with your parents, then your mother will give birth to a younger brother for you. By then, you will be neglected, and you won't even have the chance to sleep with them." Dugu Yu's words made Wan'er's small face full of displeasure, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"No."

She's always been like this to me, nothing new.

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Yu's surprised expression, thinking that he had said so, Wan'er would sleep with her as a result. Unexpectedly, she refused more thoroughly.

"Mother, no."

Wind Ling Xi heard the word "mother," her body stiffened, and she looked at Wan'er with disbelief on her face. She couldn't believe her ears, nor could she believe that all this was true. Just now, Wan'er had called her "mother."

"Wǎn'er, you called out."

Wan'er reached out her hands to embrace Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi, overwhelmed with affection, held Wan'er tightly. Seeing her hands clasped firmly around his neck, he said petulantly, “Don’t hug your brother.”

“Alright, Mother won't give birth to a younger brother, only Wan’er.”

Feng Ling was overjoyed, her heart filled with a joy that words couldn't express. After so long, she finally heard Wan'er call her "mother."

"Don't let daddy sleep."

Wan'er looked at Duguo City. Originally, Duguo City had a look of relief on his face, but his expression froze. "Why"

"Shy."

Dugu City's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Feng Lingxi, then at Wan'er, his face full of distress. How could they be so shy

"Xi'er is my woman, why should she be ashamed"

"No." Wan'er hugged Feng Lingxi, declaring domineeringly, "Mine."dnapped Feng Yumo, she was willing to go and meet him."Your Highness, if you go like this, the King will be worried. Perhaps I should inform the King first and wait for him to return together with you...
