Chapter 1484: L琉璃 Purple Star 23

ng orders. I hope General and Third Aunt will not make things difficult for me. If anything were to happen to Madam, and the Princess became angry, I fear it would implicate innocents."Mrs. Zhao's fac..."This holy decree will announce itself to the world when Xi'er is in danger of death."

Dugu Cheng's expression stiffened, "In that case, Xi'er's bestowed title isn't as simple as it seems."

"If not, how would she know how many people in this world desired her death"

As for the matter of bestowal, the entire Lu family knows the reason behind it. However, this is something that cannot be told to Dugu City. After all, it concerns the ancestral property of the Lu family. Since Dugu City is now divorced from Xi'er, if he is able to become the son-in-law of the Lu family in the future, he will then be qualified to know about it.

"Has Xi'er never been curious about what was in the box your mother gave her"

Lu Nian shrugged. "No, before she left, I saw that she was a little curious, but after she really walked out, Xi'er wasn't curious anymore. Then your mother sent people to assassinate her, and all her thoughts were on this, she didn't mention the box at all."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "That's just like her character."

Lu Nian looked at Dugu City, "I told you this because I really treat you as my brother-in-law. Don't let me down."

"Your Highness, I will handle matters concerning my mother's family myself. You should take good care of Xier. If you need anything, just ask me, and the people at Tianxianglou are also at your disposal."

Lu Nian raised her hand, her voice laced with a hint of laziness, "Then there's no need. People from my Lu family are spread all over the world. Although they don't have your level of expertise, they aren't vegetarians either. Besides, with Xi'er's current team, it wouldn't be easy to assassinate her, would it"

“Do not underestimate.”

Dugu Cheng urged, watching Lu Nian's smile on her lips, he didn't know when he could have a few words with Xi'er. Xi'er had too much of her own opinion, and she probably wouldn't want to speak to him until he died.

"How are you feeling I heard you vomited blood that day, is it alright"

All of Du Gucheng's ailments stemmed from his relationship with Xi'er. After she disappeared, he fell into depression. He carried too much pain in his heart, which eventually took a toll on his body, leaving him with a multitude of illnesses that even the imperial physician was unable to cure.

It's alright.

A heart ailment needs a cure from the heart. Lu Nian knew this, but right now, he couldn't persuade Xi’er to come and treat Dugu City. He could only find an opportunity later to let Xi’er take a look at him.

By the way, there’s something else I need to ask you. Where did you take Xi'er’s former maidservant Xi'er cares about her a lot, and I've heard her mention her several times. You didn't get rid of that girl, did you

"Humans are taken away, they say she'll be returned after completing her mission. As for where exactly, this King doesn't know."

When it comes to Xiaoli, Dugu City also feels guilty. If Xiaoli and Yexi's relationship had blossomed earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have been targeted by Luoli and taken away for a mission. What's more, Xi'er doesn't know that actually, Xiaoli was willing to go on the mission to help Xi'er.

"That girl is Xier's heart and soul. If you ever run into Luoli, ask him about it. Don't let Xier worry."

"Okay."

Lu Nian finished his questions, got up, and said, "It's getting late. I haven't gone to look for Xi'er yet. I won't talk to you anymore. If she knew I was here with you, she probably wouldn't even recognize me as her big brother."

"The queen is gone."

Luo Qin'i walked in with her maidservant. Lu Nian saw Luo Qin'i, although she knew she and Dugu Cheng were just putting on a show, she still couldn't stand her.

Du Gu Cheng was a little surprised, but then he thought about the child she had with her, and it didn't seem like a big deal after all. After all, children love to play.

"It was Tao Su who accompanied her." Luo Qin'yi looked at the worry in her master's eyes and said lightly, "Master, rest assured, Mingde Town is not the capital city, there will be no danger."

"If you run into danger, it'll be just like your words predicted."

Lu Nian heard Luo Qin Yi's words, for some reason, he wasn't worried before, but now he wanted to go and have a look.

"Your Highness, I won't bother you any longer. I still need to find my sister."

Lu Nian left, and Dugu Cheng looked at Luo Qin'yi standing beside him, "Besides Tao Su, did anyone else come"

"And those two children."

Luo Qin'yi finished speaking and saw that her master's face was not good. She hurriedly said, "Master, rest assured, the people in General's Mansion know they are going out and will take care of them."

Where is Wan'er

Du Gu Cheng changed the subject, sensing that his master seemed angry.

"The County Princess has been very close to General Zhen Guo these past two days."

"Just glad she's alright."

Luo Qin'yi replied, "With Su Yue and Yao Clan guards protecting her, the princess is very safe."

Duke City got up, though his face was still pale, he looked much more spirited. Luo Qin watched and couldn't help but feel that her master's health was closely tied to the Duchess'. Lu Da Gongzi must have said something to him, she could feel the change in her master.

"Let Ye Xi come before this king."

Lo Qin'yi's face stiffened, and she hurriedly agreed.

Duguxing stared at the sky. The sun blazed overhead, and it wouldn't be long before it was unbearable to be out in it. Thinking this way, he felt much more at ease.

Although the weather in Mingde Town wasn't scorching hot today, after walking around the streets for a while, everyone was already sweating profusely. However, Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi, the two siblings, were running very fast.

"Mother, I want to eat candied hawthorn."

Feng Siqi looked at the street vendors carrying candied haws, excitedly shouting, "Buy three strings, and get one string for Sister Wan'er."

Tao Su smiled and stepped forward, “Give me three strings of candied fruit.”

After giving the money, Tao Su distributed candied fruit to Si Yu and Si Qi. Seeing them express their gratitude and happy expressions, with smiles never leaving their faces, Tao Su thought that this kind of life was quite good.

"Tao Su, there's a clothing store over there. Let's go take a look."

Feng Lingxi didn't think that much about it. After getting along with Tao Su for a while, she knew that Tao Su was close to the two children. When buying small things, she didn't mind.

Tao Su responded, Feng Ling Xi reached out to take Si Qi's hand, but suddenly a figure dashed past her side, snatched Feng Ling Xi's purse, and ran away quickly.

"Catch the thief!"

Someone shouted, Feng Lingxi instinctively touched the pouch at her waist, it was gone. Looking at the thief who was fleeing quickly ahead, her eyes turned cold, and she saw a small figure quickly chasing after him.

"Siyu..."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly grabbed Siqi and chased after her. Tao Su threw a sentence, asking Feng Lingxi to take care of Feng Siqi before quickly using his light kung fu to catch up.

The thief ran down several alleys, thinking he had lost the pursuers behind him. Just as he was about to catch his breath and take a rest, he saw a four or five-year-old boy standing at a distance, arms crossed, staring at him with cold eyes.

"Hand over the stolen money bags, and I'll let you go."

The thief looked like a little boy, who would be afraid Seeing Feng Siyu was handsome, he had a bad idea.

"Want a money bag, come here, I'll give you one."

Feng Siyu walked over, and the thief suddenly threw a handful of medicine at Feng Siyu. Just as his movements fell, Feng Siyu kicked him to the ground with one kick, howling in pain.ling his pulse. There were no signs of poisoning, so it shouldn't be eye poison.Aman and Sun Cheng stood on either side of Feng Lingxi, watching Tian Xiaomi scrutinize the princess. That curious gaze...
