Chapter 343: Seizing Power 98

am, and I can be with you...you...""Do you think I care what your identity is"Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Yi Xuan, “You should just go back with your father as soon as possible. You're not needed here,..."I go wherever my mother goes."

Feng Lingxi answered very succinctly. As someone who had died once, she had let go of many things.

Although Dugu Cheng did not harm her, she had her own business to attend to. Moreover, she had promised her mother that she would go to the Great Yuan Dynasty as Princess of the Huangxia Dynasty and clear her father's name of poisoning the previous emperor.

Dugu Cheng heard Xi'er's words, his heart was not feeling well.

But he didn't want to make it difficult for her either. Going back to the Aoshu Dynasty was what she should do. After all, the Aoshu Dynasty gave her her first life, and she was the Saintess of the Yao Clan, and the Yao Clan was located near the Aoshu Dynasty. If she wanted to return to the Yao Clan, he couldn't stop her.

"When I finish what I'm doing, I'll go to Zhaoxiang Summer Palace to find you."

Although Dugu Xiu is gone, there are still many things to deal with in Linxi County. Moreover, he has to investigate his mother's whereabouts. For so long, his mother's whereabouts have been unknown. He is worried about his mother and Xi'er's safety. He should also go find his mother.

"Dugu Cheng, we will meet again soon. I'm going back to the Huangxia Dynasty because I promised the emperor. I and Qingyun won't be possible."

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, but still explained.

She knew Dugu City would be heartbroken to hear she was going back to the scorching summer dynasty, but she had to return nonetheless.

Unless her mother suddenly changed her mind, she would have no room for regret.

"That's all I need to hear."

Dugu Cheng reached out and pulled her into his arms. Feng Lingxi did not push him away. She could see Dugu Cheng's devotion, but they couldn't just focus on romance. They both had their own things to attend to.

"Dugu City, has there been any news from your mother"

It's been two months since she lost her memory, and now that it's returned, how could she not ask about her mother concubine's whereabouts.

When mentioning his mother, Dugu Cheng's body stiffened slightly, and his black eyes darkened.

"Not yet, I don't know where she is now. But rest assured, Ai’er, I have been looking for Mother Empress all along and have never given up. It's just that the world is vast, and I don't know where Mother Empress is hiding."

Feng Lingxi pushed open the solitary city gate, raising her head to look into Du Gucheng's worried eyes. She asked in confusion, "Logically speaking, since we're here, our mother would definitely have heard about it. Why hasn't she come to find us yet Did she intentionally choose not to come, or did something happen to her"

Dugu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, although he had thought about it this way, he was unwilling to believe it.

He feared most that his mother had passed away. He wasn't afraid of the difficulty of the search, only that he wouldn't have the opportunity to look for her.

"I don't know what Mother is thinking, maybe she..."

"No."

Feng Lingxi hastily interrupted Dugu Cheng, "Yu Xi said that Mother is still alive. I believe it, and I'm sure we will be reunited with her. I will also ask my mother to help and use the power of the Yao Clan to find Mother's whereabouts."

Dugu Cheng responded, and outside the door, Ye Xi shouted once. Dugu Cheng frowned, "Xi'er, Ye Xi has something to find me. You should rest here well, I'll be back later."

Looking at Dugu Cheng's departing figure, Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of worry.

She also wanted to help with her mother's affairs, but it was so difficult to find her since she had been missing for so long. It was not easy to find someone who knew where she was.

"My lord, Prince Huanfu has sent a letter for you."

Ye Xi passed the letter up, after Dugu City finished reading it, his expression changed drastically, he excitedly said to Ye Xi, "The Empress Dowager has news."

"Alright, then let's hurry and find Concubine Shu."

Ye Xi said she was about to go out, and Du Gucheng hurriedly said, “Wait a moment, let me tell Xi’er and then I’ll go.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Xi Er is about to return to the Wilderness Summer Dynasty. Now that we part ways, the next time we meet may be months later.

He was reluctant, but he cared more about his mother's safety.

獨孤城 came before Feng Lingxi, seeing that Du Gu Cheng left and then returned, Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, "What happened"

"Xier, mother concubine has been found. I'm going to find her now. You wait here for Huangfu Qingyun to take you back. As soon as I find mother concubine, I'll come for you."

"Wait a moment."

Feng Ling hurried forward, looking at Dugu Cheng's puzzled gaze, and took off the purple star necklace she was wearing and gave it to him.

"Take this, I'm giving it to you. Keep it safe for me, and wait for me to come back and get it."

Dugu Cheng looked at the purple star on his chest, tucked it into his bosom, nodded, and left.

"Your Highness, since you are unwilling to let the King leave, why not go with him to greet Imperial Concubine Shu"

Though I would like to go, I cannot.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's puzzled eyes and said faintly, "Mother's injuries haven't healed yet, and there is no one to manage the affairs of Linxi County. Dugucheng left, and I can't leave. I have to handle these things for him."

"Your Highness, you're becoming more and more like the mistress of the household. You think of everything so thoroughly. The King seems like a child, saying he'll leave and then just does, being so willful."

Feng Lingxi looked at him with sympathy, "He's not being willful, he's just heartbroken over his mother."

"This way, the Princess will be exhausted, and, the maidservant feels, the more things the Princess manages, the heavier her heart becomes, and she can't even feel happy. Her face always looks very tired, and the maidservant feels heartbroken just looking at it."

"I'm doing well, nothing too tiring."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's complaining expression and said with a smile, "You're not the first time following me, aren't you clear about my temper"

Let's go see how Mother is doing.

Feng Lingxi brought Xiaoli to Yao Wan'ying's room. As soon as they reached the door, they heard voices coming from inside and stopped in their tracks.

"Lord, are you really not going to tell the saintess about this"

Wind Ling Xi and Xiao Li looked at each other, seeing the confusion in her eyes, so she decided to eavesdrop.

"Even if Xi'er knew, what could she change Let her rest assured, after all, this matter is important, so it's best to forget about it."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingxi hurried inside.

"Mother."

When Feng Lingxi arrived, Yao Wan'ying immediately had the person withdraw. Feng Lingxi hurried to sit in front of Yao Wan'ying and felt her pulse, checking her body.

"Her injuries are recovering well, in a few days, mother will be fine."

Yao Wan'ying looked at Xi'er's serious expression and asked, "How much of what your mother just said did you hear"

"Mother, is there something you're hiding from me"

Feng Lingxi was applying ointment to her mother's wound, Yao Wan'ying watched her with a faint expression in her eyes, "Xi'er, your mother didn't say anything, shouldn't you just not ask"

Feng Ling Xi looked up, meeting her mother's expectant gaze, and nodded. "Yes, Mother. If you don't say anything, Xi'er won't ask."

Yao Wan Ying's eyes welled up as she heard this. This child, so understanding, made her heart ache with tenderness.

She truly owed so much to Xier, but she still couldn't tell her. At this moment, the more Xier knew, the worse it would be for her. As long as she protected Xier, even if she died, it would be worth it.

"Mother, Xi'er can not inquire about your affairs, but if it involves life and death, Xi'er hopes that Mother will tell Xi'er, alright"u planning to rebel"Feng Aotian's face changed drastically, he hurriedly explained, "This subordinate swears to heaven, this is absolutely not true. I don't know which words the Third Prince heard fro...
