Chapter 916: Falling Frost Flowers (Part 116)

ng, "Just pretend that nothing just happened."Dugou City looked at her, his heart was complicated. Xi'er endured this for him, which made him feel very stifled, and now it was suffocating him. It seem..."It's really giving me a headache, how could Feng Lingxi agree to separate from Dugu City She shouldn't be so deeply in love with him, why wouldn't she follow the usual way" This move was wrong, one step wrong, all steps went wrong.

“It’s all my fault, I gave birth to such a disobedient child. After losing her memory, she forgot everything and became even more stubborn. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. Even after divorcing Xi’er, he still said those hurtful things to her. How could Xi’er, the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan, bear this With the Clan Leader present, this matter is impossible to suppress. It’s no wonder she wants to leave.”

The Noble Consort Shu choked back her words, her voice laced with helpless reproach. Empress Dowager Cen listened intently, understanding the sentiment but unable to offer a solution.

This amnesia of Dugu City didn't happen by his own will.

Feng Lingxi's character, she also knows. With Du Gu Cheng scolding and humiliating her like this, what she did is understandable.

"Nothing we say seems to work anymore. The only solution is to find a way for Dugu City to recover his memory and win Feng Lingxi back."

The Shutai Consort nodded, “This concubine thinks so too.”

Empress Dowager Cen instructed her to find a way to restore Du Gucheng's memory. After listening to Taifei Shu's lamentations, she allowed Taifei Shu to leave the palace.

"Your Majesty, now that the Fourth Prince has lost his memory and Feng Lingxi refuses to enter the palace to see you, if this continues, Your plan might fall through."

Grandmother Zhang's expression was full of worry. These days, she had been distraught over this matter.

"The Empress truly didn't expect Feng Ling Xi to be so ruthless. Back when she was with Du Gu Cheng, her feelings were genuine. Now that Du Gu Cheng has amnesia, she simply leaves without any hesitation whatsoever. She's truly heartless."

Then Cen Taishi thought to herself, she had underestimated Feng Lingxi.

"That's right, back when she lost her memory, the Fourth Prince searched everywhere for her. He did so much for her. This heartless and unfeeling woman has now vanished completely, truly wasting the Fourth Prince's devotion."

Zhang Mama's dissatisfaction made Cen Taihou angry at Feng Lingxi as well, but what could she do about it when she was angry She couldn't kill Feng Lingxi.

“The Empress truly doesn’t know what to do now.”

Empress Cen massaged her temples, her head throbbing with pain.

"Your Majesty, I think this Feng Ling Xi might be out of reach, but there's someone else we can still deal with."

Grandma Zhang narrowed her eyes, "That woman brought back by the Fourth Prince, if she wasn't there, the Fourth Prince would definitely be stimulated, and he might recover his memory. If the Fourth Prince doesn't have the stimulation to recover his memory, it's fine too. At that time, the Fourth Prince will certainly hate Feng Lingxi, so let them completely break up. What we can't get, they shouldn't want either."

Then Empress Cen nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right. We should find out about this woman who came with us first. Don't let Dugu City discover her."

"The slave obeys." Zhang Mam retreated. Empress Cen reached out to pick up the cat beside her, stroking its fur gently. Footsteps came from outside the hall, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Dugu Xiu came in and hurriedly greeted Empress Cen with respect.

"The son pays his respects to the empress dowager."

Since Feng Ling Xi poisoned his body, he has been much better and his attitude towards Empress Cen has also improved a lot.

"What brings the Emperor to my humble abode"

Dugu Xiu walked to the Dragon Throne and sat down, "Mother Empress, just now Prince Su entered the palace and told me that Feng Lingxi saw him and said some things to him."

"Windling, have you seen him"

Then Empress Cen raised an eyebrow, a chill flickering in her eyes as she pondered.

"Yes, it's for the antidote to frostflower. Feng Lingxi gave the King of Su the antidote to frostflower. After taking the medicine, they are now checking if the poison is still in the King of Su's body, and Feng Lingxi has returned the prescription for the frostflower antidote."

Dugu Xiu presented the parchment scroll. Empress Cen received it, her gaze sweeping over Dugu Xiu, "Why doesn't King Su come to see me"

He said to let me and my mother speak.

Since Du Gu Xiu learned of his mother's change in attitude towards him, he became wary of Du Gu Su. He feared that Du Gu Su would recover at any moment and usurp his throne. Moreover, as he was now striving to prove himself a suitable king, no matter what, he was still his mother's biological son. There was a chance his mother might not give up on her idea of favoring Du Gu Su.

"I would like to hear what he has to say."

Queen Cen glanced at Duguxiu, “The Emperor seems to be quite leisurely these days, taking care of everything himself. It's rather surprising for this old woman to see.”

"Mother, this matter is of great importance, and my son must handle it personally."

獨孤修's words made Empress Cen roll her eyes.

"If you had such insight back then, I wouldn't have to worry so much. Given the current situation, I would like to help you, but I'm afraid you won't listen."

"When mother calms her anger, her son will strive diligently."

Dugu Xiu's attitude of admitting his mistakes is very good. After all, he is her own son, and Empress Cen still treats him well.

Although Dugu Su agreed to cure his frostflower poison, she was the one who had harmed him in the first place. If he were truly crowned emperor with her as his empress dowager, could she even retain her position

Queen Cen could remain in this position until now. If she didn't have brains and a strong wrist, how could she survive to this day

“Mother, even though I am your son, you should know that a mother wouldn’t harm her own child. Tiger parents do not eat their cubs. Back then when you gave the frost flower to King Su, even if it is now cured, the hatred planted in his heart will never be forgotten. How could Duke Su possibly forget”

When Dugu Xiu said this, he was very careful. However, he also knew that his mother had some precautions against Dugu Su. Growing up by his mother's side, Dugu Xiu knew her character well.

"What did Dugu Su say when he came back"

Feng Lingxi told him, "The poison in my body is temporarily suppressing another one. She asked Dugu Su to tell the Empress Dowager that she is no longer the Fourth Princess. This cooperation between Yaozu and your family is over."

Cen Taizi's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze cold and penetrating.

"Mother, Wind Ling can say that because she and Dugu Cheng are separated. The marriage is off, but I think this situation can be used to our advantage. Prince Su often meets with Wind Ling, so why not have Dugu Su propose to her If Wind Ling agrees to Dugu Su, the Fourth Prince's Mansion will definitely oppose it. Then both the Su Wangfu and the Fourth Prince's Mansion will clash, and we will benefit from their conflict."

"Damn it!"

Empress Dowager Cen rebuked sternly, "Don't you think the Great Yuan Dynasty is chaotic enough right now Feng Lingxi is no ordinary woman. Do you really think Du Gu Su could be a suitable match Not to mention that Du Gu Su wouldn't agree, but in all of the Great Yuan, who could possibly marry her"

With everything in the palace in such chaos, he still has these lustful thoughts. His heart is not right. No wonder Feng Lingxi poisoned him; it was truly a bad thing to do.

“Mother, my son was just thinking, would Dugu City be pretending to have amnesia My people came back and told me that the woman Dugu City brought back has already been driven out of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion. Dugu City did not go looking for her.”n't know what the Empress did to anger you""It's all my fault. Today, I shouldn't have entered the palace, causing Empress Dowager and Empress to be angry. Perhaps, I should return home first." Feng L...
