Chapter 710: Jade Chaos 80

e smile on the Empress's face to gradually disappear, "This palace knew it would be impossible for you to say that. However, Fourth Prince, feelings are the most difficult thing to repay. Are you sure...Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's helplessness. These days, he thought every day about how to talk to Xi'er, but now that they met, he didn't know where to start.

"Sister, my brother and I are going to guess riddles with the village chief. You and your husband should go yourselves. We'll see you back at our place later."

Feng Yu Mo saw the awkward atmosphere and hurriedly pulled Luo Li away. Luo Li, who was forcibly dragged away, was very unhappy, but he didn't want to stay either. He let Feng Yu Mo pull him away.

"Xier, why don't you go over there"

Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, his eyes full of hope, somewhat afraid that Xi'er would refuse him.

Feng Lingxi nodded, it was a good opportunity to clear the air. There shouldn't be such a barrier between them.

The two walked, neither speaking first, just continuing on like that. Dugu City suddenly stopped.

"Xier, isn't this lantern beautiful Let's buy one and float it on the river. Make a wish facing the lantern, it's very effective."

Feng Lingxi nodded. Although she had already let go of the lantern, Dugucheng spoke up, and she didn't want to spoil the mood. However, she didn't know that Dugucheng had actually already let go of his own lantern. He just wanted to accompany her to release another one, a lantern belonging to the two of them.

Dugu Cheng saw Xi'er had agreed, his gaze fell on the rabbit-shaped lantern above, and he carefully asked, "Xi'er, which flower lantern do you like"

Feng Lingxi reached out and took the rabbit-shaped paper lantern, "This one will do. It's quite cute."

Dugu Cheng paid, Feng Lingxi carried the lantern, and the two came to the riverbank again. Looking at the couples making wishes in pairs, Dugu Cheng's eyes were full of guilt. Watching Feng Lingxi put down the lantern and gaze at the river surface, that look made him want to speak but stop.

How many times had such a gulf appeared between them, as if there were nothing left to say.

"That day I left in a hurry, leaving you a letter. Have you read it all"

Feng Lingxi suddenly spoke, and Dugucheng hurriedly explained, "Xier, that night was indeed my fault. The miscarriage wasn't your fault, but I failed to understand your situation at the time. Actually, it wasn't that I blamed you for not protecting the child well, but rather that such a big thing happened, and you didn't tell me..."

Feng Lingxi turned her head and looked at Dugu Cheng, who was hurriedly explaining but couldn't explain clearly. Her eyes were faint.

"So you're angry because I didn't tell you"

Dugu Cheng nodded. In his heart, while the child was important, Xi'er was even more so.

"This king hopes that you can tell this king about anything that happens at the first opportunity, rather than always being the last to know."

Feng Lingxi started, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know where to begin. It's my fault about the child, I'm really sorry."

She failed to protect her child, that was her fault.

Alone City reached out to comfort her, but then stopped himself.

"It's not your fault, it's this king who hasn't thought things through. The current situation isn't safe for children. Don't rush into having them in the future. Wait until things are settled before discussing having children. Don't let them come into the world if they can't be born safely."

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi's body tremble slightly. She was truly happy to have someone who cared for her so much.

"Dugu City, is this your true words"

"Of course, if all it took was wanting a child, my household would be teeming with them by now. There's no need to make such assumptions."

Feng Ling Xi smiled back at him, "Thank you."

Anyway, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart because she could understand her situation.

"You don't need to thank me. This time, the blame lies more with me. I didn't understand your situation and allowed you to have an unhappy year. Too many things have happened recently, and I hope this matter can end here."

Feng Lingxi agreed, she didn't want to dwell on this anymore. This matter of the child, both of them needed some time to slowly let go, and not always hold onto it so tightly.

"You aren't on a campaign How can you be back today"

Feng Lingxi stood up, released the lanterns, and the two of them strolled down the street, chatting.

"It's already taken care of. This King was thinking that today is the Lantern Festival, and you might come down the mountain. I hurried back to find out that you really did descend, so I came out to try my luck. Unexpectedly, our fate has always been there."

Feng Lingxi was amused by his words, "We are husband and wife, if there wasn't fate, how could we have ended up together."

The City Lord of Dugu, taking her hand, finally saw the worry on his handsome face subside.

"Xier, we'll return to the City Lord's Mansion later. I don't know how long you'll be able to stay this time. I want to spend some quality time with you. In a few days, I have to go out on a trip and it will take about half a month to come back."

"Where to"

Feng Lingxi frowned, seeing Dugu Cheng's solemn expression, couldn't help but worry.

“The issue of food supply has led the neighboring small nations to eye Linyin County covetously. The other day, a band of bandits ran rampant. This king had to lead troops to quell them, and I can only return after things are settled. Linyin County is like a nation here. If it's constantly being watched, and the surrounding unrest isn't quelled, this king cannot return to the capital with peace of mind.”

Feng Lingxi nodded, “Then you have to be careful yourself, don't be too reckless.”

Duguxing responded, gripping her hand slightly tighter. After a long moment, he spoke, "It's likely that after we return, we'll both have to go back to the capital. Empress Cen has already learned about your ascension as Holy Master. The Emperor notified this king to return to the capital as soon as possible. Additionally, Dugu Xiu has also set off to pick you up and bring you back. This king hopes that you can wait for this king in Yaozu until after I quell the disturbance and descend the mountain. Then, we can return to the capital together, avoiding any accidents along the way."

"Then when you return, give me a call. I'm going down the mountain. The Yao clan today is different from the past. As the Saint Master, my position in the Yao clan is unshakable."

"This king knows."

Dugu Cheng looked into her eyes and smiled, "Your abilities, this king has always had in his sights."

"Don't praise me, things have been tough lately, there are a lot of Yao clan matters, but Luoli did help me a lot."

"This king will properly thank him."

Feng Lingxi shook her head gently, her voice calm. "That's not necessary. He's the clan leader, these are all things he should do. Besides, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have returned to Yaozu as this so-called Saint Master."

Du Gu Cheng responded, "Xi'er, if you say it, I will do it. Remember to be cautious in everything. Now that the Yao Clan issue is resolved, there are still many things to deal with in the capital. Both Du Gu Yu and Du Gu Xiu are eyeing you hungrily. Be careful in everything you do."

"I shouldn't have saved Feng Yixuan back then."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "Now he still has to come out and cause trouble."

It's useless to say anything now. We shouldn't have saved him in the first place. All we can do is not be as kind and merciful as before. Feng Yixuan doesn't deserve to live.

After you return, just wait for this king's message. If Feng Yixuan appears, this king will notify you immediately.

Wind Lingxi nodded, it was good this way. Since she remained in the Yao clan, even if Feng Yi Xuan teamed up with Dugu Xiu, they wouldn't be able to appear there, thus avoiding a direct confrontation.r you say, I will do."Feng Lingxi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, General Sun. However, about this matter, besides us, no one else can know. We must also keep the source of this gunpowder a sec...
