Chapter 321: Seize Power 76
inion."Xier, your mother's things, father wouldn't take any. As for you, after recovering from a serious illness, have you had the doctor take a look at you"Speaking of doctors, Feng Lingxi thought of...“Although the Kingdom of Aohua is not as weak as you say, Yun’er, don't forget that the people of Aohua live peacefully and happily. Once war breaks out, have you considered what will happen to those people They will be separated from their families, their homes will be destroyed, and they will suffer greatly.”
"Father."
Huangfu Ying's words calmed Huangfu Qingyun down. He naturally knew these things, but he really didn't want to watch Galo Kingdom bully them and not fight back.
“Your Majesty, peace and prosperity are good things, but as the Crown Prince also said, now that Gallo Kingdom has bullied us to this extent, if we don't fight back, wouldn't it embolden them even more As the saying goes, meet force with force, and water with earth. Since Gallo Kingdom has extended its hand into Aoshu, there is no need to endure any longer. When the time comes, we must act.”
Huangfu Qingyun nodded in agreement, "Father Emperor, your son agrees. We cannot allow the Galo Nation to run rampant."
Huangpu Ying looked at Duguxing, a smile spreading across her lips.
"Fourth Prince is right, I understand what Fourth Prince means. However, if this war truly has to be fought, it cannot just be a war between the Xia Dynasty and the Gallow Kingdom. The Great Yuan Dynasty can also have a share of the pie."
Dugu City narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty, are you wanting this King to take action"
"Join forces to fight against Gallo Kingdom."
Huangfu Ying looked at Dugu City, "After the defeat of the Galo Kingdom, I will lead my troops to help you regain the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty and reclaim everything that belongs to you."
"How does Your Majesty know what this prince desires"
Emperor Ying smiled, “Fourth Prince is valiant and skilled in warfare. The reason the Great Yuan Dynasty has become so powerful is because Fourth Prince has defended its borders for these years. The throne of the Great Yuan Dynasty should rightfully be yours. Plus with how the current Empress Dowager is framing you and Xi'er, I believe the Fourth Prince will no longer remain silent.”
Dugu Cheng remained silent, only watching the calculation in Huangfu Ying's eyes. He had to admit, what he said was right; he was indeed more suitable for this throne than them. However, he wasn't as interested in the throne as they imagined.
Xier was wronged, this grievance must be washed away, she has to return to Kyoto to clear Xier's name.
"For years, the Gallo nation has been ambitious, eager to devour its neighboring small countries. Together with the Arawash Dynasty, we must stand against them. This is a duty I cannot shirk. Moreover, the Arawash Dynasty and our dynasty have always been allies. Naturally, joining forces is the right thing to do."
Even without considering the diplomatic relations between the two countries, just for the fact that Huangfu Qingyun saved Xi'er, he would repay this kindness. Dealing with Gallo Country wouldn't be excessive for him.
Moreover, the Yao clan is Xi'er's family. If Gallo Kingdom wants to attack the Yao clan, it means attacking Xi'er. He will not tolerate Gallo Kingdom reaching out to Xi'er.
"Fourth King, you are indeed straightforward. In that case, I will thank the people of Ahxia on your behalf. Once this is done, I will do everything in my power to help Fourth King reclaim his throne."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huangfu Qingyun looked at Dugu Cheng's smile in his eyes, and her mood became even more complicated. It turned out that this Fourth Prince, Dugu Cheng, had always wanted to be the emperor. Xi'er was marrying him, so she would become the Empress of Dayuan Dynasty in the future. Her status would be noble. Compared to this, his position as Crown Princess of the Huangxia Dynasty was indeed not as good.
As the two left the Imperial Study, Huangfu Qingyun voiced her curiosity.
"Fourth Wangye, if you became the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, would you ensure that Xi'er would be the only empress"
Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Your Highness, what do you mean by that Do you think I can't do it, so you want to compete with me for Zexi"
"Yes."
If he can't do it, but his imperial family, Huangpu Qingyun, can.
He could give all the positions in the harem to Xi'er, fearless of anything.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Du Gu Cheng laughed, “This king only has Feng Ling Xi as his woman. To this king, this imperial position is nothing compared to Xi'er’s true affection.”
What he wanted wasn't the throne of the Yuan Dynasty. He wanted peace for the world. If Dugu Yan could govern the Yuan Dynasty well and clear Xier’s name, then what did it matter if he became emperor Ten years ago, the throne would have been his if Dugu Cheng had truly wanted it.
Huangfu Qingyun looked at Dugu City's smile on the corner of his lips, perhaps he really wasn't as good as Dugu City's feelings for Xi'er.
It's a matter of fate, as they say, for him and Xi'er.
Huangfu Qingyun's clenched fist gradually relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Go check on Xi'er, she should be up by now. It's getting late. If we are truly going to campaign, we'll be separated from her for a while."
Dugu Cheng smiled, "Your Highness is planning to take the field yourself"
Huangpu Qingyun revealed a smile, "The Fourth Prince can lead troops into battle, naturally this Palace can too. Furthermore, we are now an alliance, so naturally we must show the sincerity of the Xia Dynasty. This Palace leading troops would be even more sincere."
"You're right."
When the two returned to Yao's residence, Yao Wan'ying saw that Dugu Cheng had safely returned and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"My Lord, I have come to see Xier."
Huangfu Qingyun clearly sensed Yao Wan'ying's nervousness. After all, Dugu City was her son-in-law and she had brought him here. If something really happened to him, it would also affect the safety of the Yao clan. The emperor also considered this, so he took Yao Wan'ying's feelings into account.
"Since Xi'er hasn't woken up for lunch yet, I'll have someone call her."
Yao Wan'ying hastily ordered the maidservant, "Go wake Miss up and tell her to come and dine with His Royal Highness."
Huangfu Qingyun originally wanted to reflect on his past, but when he thought about returning to Yao Mansion, he still had to be more careful, lest others misunderstand. For him, Xi'er's reputation was more important.
"Miss, the madam asked you to get up and accompany His Highness the Crown Prince for breakfast."
Feng Lingxi grabbed the blanket and covered her head, impatiently saying, "Go tell my mother that I'm not hungry."
It's only been a few hours, she hasn't even woken up yet, how come you're bothering her again Let her sleep!
Xiao Li glanced at the princess, then walked out and told the maidservant outside, "Go tell Madam that Miss hasn't woken up yet and refuses to go out."
"Wait a moment."
Feng Lingxi suddenly sat up from the bed, "Xiao Li, you just said that Mother asked me to accompany someone to dinner"
"Your Highness,"
Feng Ling quickly said, "Tell her that I'll be there after I wash up."
Xiao Li sent the maidservant away and looked at the Queen who was getting up, her face full of puzzlement.
"Miss, didn't you say you weren't awake How come when you heard about having dinner with the Crown Prince, you came so lively." This Duke would get jealous if he saw this.
"Feng Lingxi slumped her face, "Do you think I want to Huángfǔ Qingyun knows about my memory recovery. Am I not afraid he'll slip up"
Xiao Li watched as the princess got up and tidied herself, and hurriedly said, “Or maybe we should tell Madam…”
"No, too many people know now. For the plan to go smoothly, we can't reveal it anymore, Xiaoli, cooperate."
Xiao Li responded and, seeing that the Princess was well-dressed, followed her out.
Feng Lingxi had just walked into the dining hall when she heard the sounds of Huofeng Qingyun and Dugu City blowing each other up. Feng Lingxi's face darkened.
"How is this guy here too."face was full of smiles, Feng Lingxi coldly swept him a glance, "Your Highness thinks too much. Which eye did you see me worried about you"Dugu City pointed at her with both eyes, grinning, "Of course...
