Chapter 451: Revenge 95

ess Dowager mean I've laid out the terms. Whether or not to cooperate is up to the Empress Dowager."Feng Lingxi was twirling her fingers, and the air of having everything under control made Empress Ce..."Father, are you so afraid of her Even if you're forceful, can she really kill you"

Feng YiXuan’s words caused Feng Aotiān to let out a light sigh, “If we truly angered her, I fear she would even kill our father.”

"Naughty girl!"

Feng Yixuan gritted his teeth in anger. He truly didn't know how there could be such a brazen and shameless woman. Feng Aotian, seeing his angry expression, soothed him, "Xuan'er, don't provoke her. What if she really wants to harm you You're not her match, and even I can't protect you. You also saw the court's attitude towards the Sixth Prince. If the Sixth Prince succeeds, perhaps you deserve the most credit. But if he fails, you become a scapegoat."

"Father, you can't say it like that. Everyone knows how good the Sixth Prince has been to me. Without him, where would I be today The glory of the Feng family rests on my shoulders. Could you possibly expect anything from those two wastrels"

Feng Aotian listened to his arrogant words, his eyes becoming increasingly worried.

Why can't this child just be more obedient.

If Feng Lingxi is truly as innocent as she claims, then the Empress Dowager wouldn't be so lenient towards her. She returned to the capital and carried out her revenge plan step by step. She cleared her name of the charge of poisoning the late Emperor and successfully cooperated with the Empress Dowager.

Her abilities are constantly refreshing his perception of this daughter. Feng Aotian, at this moment, is also starting to doubt his own judgment, whether he has really made the right decision.

He always hoped his son would bring glory to the Feng family. Now, Feng Lingxi's behavior made him feel like he had made a mistake. His daughter had hidden so much, just like her mother, concealing her identity and background from him, marrying a woman of unknown origins, and giving birth to a daughter he never knew.

"Xuan'er, listen to your father, don't provoke her."

Feng Aotian sighed, "Father doesn't want to lose you, his good son."

"Father, I didn't provoke her. It was she who provoked my son first. She said nicely for me to call her Fourth Sister, but did she ever treat me as her younger brother Her arrogant gaze made me uncomfortable just looking at it. No wonder Big Sister said she's a troublemaker."

Feng Aotian looked at his son like this, his eyes full of worry.

It seems talking to him is useless. Maybe I should talk to Feng Lingxi instead, there might still be a sliver of hope.

"Everything that needs to be said has been said. Father still has something to attend to with the Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince, so you take care here on your own. The court is watching closely right now, so be careful and avoid trouble."

"Father, you wouldn't want to take refuge with the Fourth Prince, would you"

Feng Yixuan stopped Feng Aotiān's path. If it were like this, he had to keep him for the Sixth Prince.

"The Emperor's decree, father has been asked by the Fourth Prince to raise an army and persuade him to attack the Tianqi Nation. He must also retrieve the treasures of the Yao Clan, completing the task given to father by the Empress Dowager."

Feng Aotian's words caused Feng Yixuan's eyes to flash with a hint of calculation. He quickly said, "Father, let me accompany you. It would be good to have someone look after you."

Feng Aotian stopped him, "No need, you take care of the Sixth Prince here. If you follow along, father is afraid the Sixth Prince will overthink things and become suspicious of you, which would be detrimental to you. Father's going there on imperial orders, regardless of which side, he wouldn't think too much about it."

"Dad, come back soon."

Feng Yixuan, seeing his father say that, had no choice but to give up. However, after Feng Aotien left, he sent people to keep an eye on him. No matter what, his father could not betray the Sixth Prince, nor could he betray him.

When Feng Aotian arrived at Linxi County, he reported himself and Dugu City let him in.

Feng Lingxi, upon learning of Feng Aotiān's arrival, furrowed her brow but did not immediately go out to greet him. Since he was here to find Dugu City, she would first observe his purpose before taking any action.

Feng Aotian thought he would see Feng Lingxi, but he didn't. He was a little disappointed. Thinking about it, he came here for her this time. He said to Dugu City, "Fourth Prince, I don't know if Xi'er is here. This time I came here to see her."

"Xi'er is busy, wait for this King to finish talking with General Feng. General Feng will stay and have a meal together."

Feng Aotian hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed, "Thank you, Fourth Wangye."

Dugu City looked at Feng Aotian's attitude this time when he came here. It was clearly different from before, and it seemed that he had something to ask of him.

"I wonder what General Feng is here for this time"

Feng Aotian didn't hide it from him, he took out the imperial decree, but saw Dugu Cheng raising his eyebrows. That displeased look made Feng Aotian take the imperial decree back.

"The Emperor has sent me this time to request the Fourth Prince to attack the Heavenly Revelation Kingdom…"

"The military command has already been handed over, and shouldn't the Emperor have let the sixth brother lead the attack on Tianqi Nation This prince is just a wild crane here, General Feng, please don't make things difficult for this prince."

Dugu Cheng heard the meaning in his words. He thought that the emperor taking back the military power had made the Fourth Prince unhappy, but he also loved Mo Rann to live here. This was the emperor's order, and he was only following orders.

"Fourth Prince, the military power you turned in was only the portion that belonged to the Sixth Prince before... following yours..."

"Now that military command has been returned, the attack on Tianqi Nation should be led by my sixth brother. General Feng, please refrain from further discussion. This matter is already decided."

Feng Aotian's expression stiffened. This Duguo City wouldn't make a move. If he took out the imperial edict in his hand, Duguo City would probably defy the emperor's order.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Edict states that you are to lead the attack on the Tianqi Kingdom. I understand your predicament, Your Highness, but this is all in service to the court. I implore you to lend us your assistance."

"Help"

Du Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Feng Aotian's eyes that became ambiguous. What a good helper, helping Du Gu Xiu attack the Tian Qi country and taking all the credit for himself

Feng Aotiān realized that his words had caused Dugu Cheng to misunderstand him, and hurriedly said, “Fourth Prince, this subordinate meant to fight together.”

“No need, this Tianqi Kingdom isn't some great power. My sixth brother alone is enough to handle it. If I were to intervene, what if my sixth brother misunderstood and thought I was trying to steal his credit Wouldn’t that cause him to resent me I'd rather step back.”

Since no one agreed to attack together, there's no question of withdrawing.

Feng Aotian, although dissatisfied with Dugu City's arrogance, could only swallow his anger.

"General Feng, it's almost time for dinner. Let's eat together. Later, I'll have someone send you back. Things have been rather turbulent lately."

Feng Aotian saw him get up and hurried forward, "Fourth Prince, I haven't finished speaking..."

Dugu Cheng turned to look at him, Feng Aotian continued, "The last general hopes that His Royal Highness will send troops to attack Tianqi Country."

"Wind General, did I not make myself clear enough The military power has already been returned to the sixth brother. Wind General, please do not bring up this matter of attacking Tianqi Kingdom again."

Feng Aotian saw Dugu Cheng's anger and wanted to speak but stopped himself. He could only think about having a private conversation with Feng Lingxi later, asking her to persuade Dugu Cheng to send troops. Otherwise, if the Sixth Prince attacked Tianqi Country, it would be alright if he succeeded, but if he failed, I'm afraid Xuan'er would be in danger.

Feng Lingxi saw Feng Aotian in the dining hall. Looking at the smile on his face, her beautiful eyes twitched slightly, and she was a little uncomfortable with his change of attitude towards her.together. I don't need you to wait on me here."Xiao Li responded and retreated. Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli's eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, "Go on, what do you want to say Are you...
