Chapter 510: Revenge 154

hing more tempting than the Yaozu treasure. You tell Li Shang, be sure to find out the recipe. If it doesn't work, just go to Linxi County.""I'm afraid there's only one option left. Feng Lingxi's subo...Dugu Cheng's expression stiffened, looking at the concern in Dugu Yu's eyes, he remained silent for a long time without answering.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's expression and didn't quite understand what Dugu Yu meant by "having figured it out." However, looking at Dugu Cheng's reaction, she could also guess that this question was not easy to answer.

Dugu Yu saw that he didn't answer and forced out a smile.

"It's alright, perhaps it's not time yet. You haven't figured it out yet. I'll wait for you."

Dugu Cheng looked at the expectation in Dugu Yu's eyes, not knowing whether he should tell him the truth.

"Third Brother, you've worked hard this trip back."

Du Gu Yu looked at him, "You're fine, that's all that matters. Third brother just took a short trip, consider it sightseeing."

Dugu Cheng remained silent. Dugu Yu's arrival this time left him uncertain whether the other truly came for the purpose their father had spoken of back then. With the current state of affairs in the capital, he couldn't afford to be careless. Should anything happen, he would endanger his mother and Xi'er.

He can't afford to lose, and he can't afford to gamble!

"You're fine here, I'll be back to Liangzhou in a few days. If you need me, have someone send word and my third brother will be there immediately."

Dugu Cheng responded, looking at the smile in Dugu Yu's eyes, his heart grew heavy.

Dugu Yu patted his shoulder, "Go back to rest early. It's getting late, don't let the Empress and the Emperor suspect anything."

Dugu Cheng got up and looked at Dugu Yu, "Third brother, then take care of yourself. This king will go back first."

"Go back."

獨孤城和風淩兮離開三王府，上了馬車，風淩兮便問。

"What did Dugu Yu mean by those words Why do you seem reluctant to answer him"

"Initially, my father had intended for me to be the Crown Prince. However, because Dugu Yan is the Empress Dowager's daughter, and I am merely the son of a concubine, it was deemed inappropriate and the appointment of a new Crown Prince never materialized. It is precisely because of this that the Empress Dowager has been wary of me, fearing that I would usurp Dugu Yan's position as heir apparent."

獨孤城 frowned, recalling the past. He seemed to be transported back in time, “Just like me, Dugu Yu was favored by our father. It was precisely because of this that the Empress Dowager targeted Dugu Yu, framing and humiliating him, sending him to Liangzhou. For his sake, our father had him stay away from the capital, never to return again.”

Feng Lingxi roughly guessed that Du Guyu was asking Du Gucheng about something. Seeing that Du Gucheng was unwilling to bring up the past, he must have gone through a lot back then.

Otherwise, how could he have achieved what he has today.

You don't trust Dugu Yu now, are you afraid he's testing you But you're also afraid he isn't, so you're torn.

Dugu Cheng nodded, "The current situation in the capital is unclear. We don't know who is behind Feng Yu Xi Bei. Dugu Yu saying these things to me at this time makes me have to wonder about his intentions."

He had to think about the safety of Xi'er and his mother.

Speaking of Feng Yu Xi, Feng Ling Xi also had a headache. She actually hoped that the person behind Feng Yu Xi had nothing to do with the Yao Clan. That way, she wouldn't be so agitated and wouldn't have to deal with both the court and the Yao Clan afterwards, leaving her breathless.

Then, what are you going to do next

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's narrowed eyes, "Dugu Yu's side can be ignored for the time being, but Feng Yu Xi will definitely come to you again. When that happens, Empress Cen and Dugu Yan will definitely suspect your relationship with her."

"This king will not see her again."

Dugu Cheng's eyes were firm, "We can't give Feng Yu Xi any handles to grasp. If she fails this time, she will surely scheme and frame me."

"Otherwise, this time we cooperate with the Empress Dowager. Firstly, we can have time to prepare. Secondly, we can take down our enemies one by one."

"Will they give us time"

Du Gucheng wasn't convinced. He understood the Empress Dowager's thoughts very well; she wouldn't tolerate him remaining powerful and influential in the capital, as it would pose too great a threat to her.

“My mother told me that I was being hunted by the Yao people because I hadn’t given birth to their heir. They would continue to pursue me until I did. So, I told the Empress Dowager, who wants the Yao treasures, she will naturally protect me until I give birth to the heir, which means we have a year left.”

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, a hint of calculation in them. Suddenly, he felt intrigued. Just now, Xi Er said she wanted to give birth to an heir, meaning she was going to have a child with him. It had been almost a year since their marriage, and this was the first time Xi Er seriously spoke to him about having a child.

"Xier, are you really going to have a baby"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Dugu City's unbelievable eyes, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What Don't you want children"

Du Gu Cheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Of course not, this king just doesn't believe it. Xi Er suddenly said she wanted to give birth to a child for this king..."

"Having a baby isn't something that happens overnight. Don't forget that before we came back, I had a miscarriage. We need to calculate the timing and control it well. We need enough time to be sure of success, but to give the child a safe and stable environment, we can't afford any storms or uncertainties."

Feng Lingxi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Feng Yu Xi's existence now posed a serious threat to her. She dared to bet that if she became pregnant, Feng Yu Xi would try every means possible to get rid of her child.

"Xi'er said she couldn't stay, this king would naturally not keep her."

Since you want to have a child, the issues with Feng Yu Xi should also be resolved. The account of pushing Xi'er off the cliff back then should also be settled properly with her.

Feng Lingxi, seeing the murderous intent in Dugu Cheng's eyes, spoke, "Let me handle Feng Yu Xi. You stay out of it and don't attract their attention."

Now that things were finally stable, she couldn't let Dugu City be targeted. She was already like this anyway, so it didn't matter if she acted a little more brazenly. After all, both Cen Empress and Dugu Yan knew about her hatred for Feng Yu Xi.

"You made this king hide in your embrace again" Dugu Cheng furrowed his brows, asking with a hint of displeasure.

"You don't want to"

Feng Ling Xi's words left Du Gu Cheng feeling stifled, "This king wouldn't dare to be unwilling, it's just that I feel Xi Er is so capable, this king can't even exert himself, feeling quite useless."

"Don't pretend you think I don't know what you've been up to"

Feng Lingxi gave him a glance, Although Dugu Cheng didn't do many things to directly help her, he did a lot behind the scenes. She wasn't stupid, so she knew what he was doing in secret.

It's fine this way; at least he can protect his own strength and avoid being targeted by Dugu Yan and Empress Cen.

Dugu City smiled and looked at Feng Lingxi, "What is Xi'er talking about How does this king not know"

"You're still playing pretend"

Feng Lingxi looked at his playful smile, I have to say, he was quite a cheeky fellow.

Dugu Cheng shrugged his shoulders. This wasn't because she didn't want him to take the limelight; he couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing. He could only bear this humiliation and secretly do some things.

However, he hadn't expected that she wouldn't be able to see through it.
