Chapter 537 Conspiracy 24

e courtesies are unnecessary between us. It's been a while since we last met, how come you've lost weight"Feng Lingxi was slightly surprised. She glanced at herself. She had so many clothes on, she ha...Xi'er, this is too much of a fuss, isn't it

This Dugu Yu favored what, she would step on his pain points to the death. It seems these days, Dugu Yu is truly murderous towards Xi'er.

"Fourth brother, your wife is truly an interesting person. You've married well, it seems."

Dugu Yu smiled, but the extremely cold intent hidden in his eyes did not escape Feng Ling Xi's gaze. When he sets his sights on someone, every move and even a glance of his can be precisely captured, and she, Feng Ling Xi, is exactly such a person.

This Dugu Yu these days haven't stopped thinking about how to kill her, she has to guard against this person.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi with adoration, "Third brother is right. This king must have burned high incense in his past life to be able to marry Xi'er in this life."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yu, he dared to say that.

"The Third King and Third Queen are also deeply in love, so don't make fun of me."

Feng Lingxi looked at the silent Third Princess, "Third Princess, if you have time, stay at the Fourth Prince's residence for a few days. I can show you the hospitality of a host."

"I appreciate the kindness of the Fourth Princess. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here for long, as we have to return to Liangzhou soon. When I come back to Beijing next time, I will definitely visit."

"The Western Regions envoy presented tributes. Was the Third Brother not invited to the feast the Emperor hosted this time"

Dugu City asked out his doubts in his heart. He had heard that this time, they were intentionally kept behind. As for the purpose, it was certainly related to this incident.

"We haven't heard from the Emperor yet, and we can't stay in the capital for too long. Though this is Wan'er's family estate, staying here might arouse the Emperor's suspicions. It's best to return to Liangzhou first."

"When Third Brother leaves, remember to say hello to this King. This King will see you off."

獨孤城開口，見獨孤宇點頭，給他倒酒，兩人又聊了一些兒時的事，一頓飯下肚，風淩兮和獨孤城便上馬車回京，獨孤宇送他們上馬車的時候，還誇讚了風淩兮的醫術精湛什麼什麼的，說是有空在請教，風淩兮自然是敷衍，一笑而至，卻不知，獨孤宇卻不是說著玩的。

Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, seeing Dugu Yu nod and pour him wine. The two talked about some childhood things again. After a meal, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng got into the carriage to return to the capital. When Dugu Yu sent them to the carriage, he praised Feng Lingxi's superb medical skills and said that he would ask for advice when he was free. Feng Lingxi naturally prevaricated with a smile, but she didn't know that Dugu Yu wasn't just talking.

On the way back to Beijing, Feng Lingxi sat beside Dugu City, holding a hot water bag in her hand. Because the snow on the road was thick, the carriage moved very slowly. The mountain path prioritized safety on both sides.

"Dugu City, did your mother concubine really come back"

"Back. Found three days ago in the incense oil room of Guanyin Temple. Mother hasn't a clue who took her. We pushed too hard this time, I fear our pursuers had no choice but to return her."

"Who do you think did it"

Feng Lingxi lifted the curtain of the carriage, her eyes scanning the surroundings. "These days I've learned quite a bit from Dugu Yu. He's truly different from you. Compared to the other princes, he's probably the most profound and introspective one, capable of both humility and strength. He's not someone to be trifled with."

Xi'er is right, all the clues these days point to him. Dugu Xiu told this king that he didn't abduct the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor and Empress Dowager Cen wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing. Just like last time, they could have imprisoned the Empress Dowager openly and honestly. It is Dugu Yu who is most suspicious.

Dugu Cheng narrowed his eyes, "This time when he kidnapped Xi'er, he exposed too much."

He didn't expect me to ruin his game, thinking he had everything under control. However, I broke through his formations and managed to survive his attack. He probably won't give up easily in the future.

Du Gu Cheng listened to her words, grasped her hands, and looked at her with worry.

"Xi'er, these days I've been making you suffer."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng like this, shaking off his hand, "Don't compare me to those delicate women. Although my martial arts aren't very good, not many people know about my medical skills and poison techniques, so I have the ability to protect myself."

"No matter what, I have to be more careful next time."

This is dangerous, truly inescapable.

Feng Lingxi responded, after this incident, she would surely know the surging crisis behind it. Dugu City was hard to be alone, and so was she.

"It's enough that my mother is safe and sound. As for who was behind this, I fear we won't be able to confirm it anytime soon. If they were able to hide so well, they wouldn't make it easy for us to find them."

Dugu Cheng nodded. These days, the people he sent out to investigate had no leads at all. It could be said that they were hidden extremely deeply, just as Xi'er said, they wouldn't be easily found by them.

"The appearance of Du Guyu made this King realize that there were indeed many hidden dangers lurking in the capital city. Just like him, what this King knew was still stuck at the point where his father banished him to Liangzhou. But now that he has returned, he is no longer back for his original purpose, but with ulterior motives."

"He wants to use you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, and suddenly felt that Dugu City was so pitiful. He had always been trying to separate himself from the imperial power, but even so, it couldn't change the fact that he would inevitably be labeled as "having covered the world with his achievements." What was coming would come. Either he would have supreme power, dominating the court, or he would face a situation where there was no way out.

"Just as it is, just as it shall be. He acts, and so will I, both true and false, the king understands clearly."

Dugu Cheng's black eyes drooped, his former best brother now plotting against him and the woman he loved for the sake of the throne. He couldn't just stand idly by. He owed Dugu Yu nothing, nor did he owe any of them anything.

"My lord, why didn't Ye Xi come with you this time"

Xiao Li curiously asked, "From the time the Prince appeared until now, I haven't seen Ye Xi. Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a little curious. Usually, when she saw Ye Xi, she wanted to bicker with him. Now that he was gone, she couldn't help but worry a little."

"Yexi was attacked by men in black while delivering a message to you. She was injured and recovering at home, but she's fine."

Fu Lingxi frowned, "That day, Xiaoli told me she was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed and something might happen. We even wandered around Sanwangfu to make sure he left the mansion before going back. Do you know who did it"

The man in black's cards belong to Dugu Yu.

Then "it's a done deal, Dugolu Yu wants to silence him. This guy is really good at acting."

Dugu Cheng looked at Xi'er's cold eyes and said, "Xi'er, Dugu Yu told this king that you poisoned them. Could it endanger their lives"

"It's poison that can kill people. This Dugu Yu is two-faced. The reason I didn't poison him was because of his status, I was afraid it would cause you trouble."

Mentioning Dugu Yu, Feng Lingxi's eyes couldn't help but become annoyed. This Dugu Yu would sooner or later cause trouble. She had to warn Dugu Cheng to be wary of him, so that he wouldn't bite them someday, leaving endless aftereffects.

“I know what you're thinking, so I had Ye Su keep an eye on him secretly. I know everything Dugu Yu has done, but as you said, his purpose hasn't been exposed yet. Fighting him now wouldn't benefit us. If we were to be turned against in the end, it would actually help Dugu Yan and Dugu Xiu a great deal. That's why I pretended not to know anything today and let him go.”
