Chapter 921: Falling Frost Flower 121

ank you, Your Majesty."Dugu Cheng expressed his gratitude. After Xi'er's identity was exposed, Cen Taizi's change towards Xi'er, and up to now, Dugu Yan's governance of the world, he had nothing to cr...After the negotiations, Dugu City left the capital.

It is rumored in the capital that Dugu City agreed to Empress Dowager's request and personally went to Yaozu to bring Feng Lingxi back, in exchange for Huan Yue's life.

No matter what the true content of the negotiations was, Dugu City's departure from the capital was real, and the fact that Huan Yue was kept in the palace is also true.

This way, Dugu City and Feng Lingxi could be considered leaving the capital together.

Upon hearing the news, Shu Taifei flew into a rage and moved to the Buddhist hall, where she spent her days in fasting and meditation, completely withdrawing from worldly affairs.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The changes were so rapid and unexpected that it was hard to believe. To everyone's astonishment, Dugu Su's frost flower curse was broken. He could now walk again! After taking over as Minister of Dali Temple, he managed all the affairs of court, big and small.

Many officials in the court admired Dugu Su's abilities, and there were many who supported him.

Since being poisoned, Dugu Xiu became a recluse. Although there were thousands of beautiful women in the palace, he treated them as if they were nothing. At first, he could endure it, but later on, he lost control and brutally killed concubines who spoke out of turn. The palace was in chaos, and various factions sent urgent reports. Rebellions broke out one after another, never ceasing.

In just a few short months, the Dàyuán Dynasty's empire was on the brink of collapse.

Spring goes and autumn comes, the autumn wind rustles, in a blink of an eye, Feng Lingxi returned to the Yao tribe for more than three months. Now her fetus is over five months old, and her belly is very obvious. After returning to the Yao tribe, Li Wuyan followed her and became her exclusive doctor.

Fortunately, with careful care, Feng Ling Xi's fetus is growing very well. As winter is just two months away, the Yao tribe belongs to a deep mountain, and the temperature there is much colder than outside. Clothes are also thicker.

"Lord, it's a windy day outside, please fasten my clothes."

Xiao Li gave Feng Ling Xi a cloak.

"I heard that some places have already started snowing."

Feng Lingxi subconsciously pulled at her clothes, a slight smile on her lips.

"Actually, it's pretty good. I got pregnant in June, and my due date is next March. That time is spring warmth and blossoms, quite comfortable."

At that time, I wonder if Dugu City will remember her

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were soft as she caressed her slightly protruding belly. Looking at the smoke and rain-soaked mountains, the mist swirling around them was also breathtakingly beautiful.

"The clothes that I made for my young master are from March, so they will definitely keep my young master warm by then."

Feng Lingxi nodded. For the past three months, she had returned to Yaozu and avoided all outside affairs. She was afraid to hear news of Dugu City's marriage, and even more afraid to hear any bad news about him.

Actually, staying here, eating and drinking well every day, dealing with some Yao clan affairs, and researching new medicinal materials with Li Wu Yan is pretty good.

"Xier."

Huangfu Qingyun's voice came, since agreeing to Huangfu Qingyun's request to take care of her, Huangfu Qingyun often visited Yaozu, bringing Feng Lingxi many delicious and interesting things every time. He would buy a bunch of children's clothes, just like a biological father.

At first, everyone was a little uncomfortable with Huangfu Qingyun's actions. However, after learning that Feng Lingxi had been abandoned by Dugu Cheng, the Yao Clan became extremely lenient. Every time Huangfu Qingyun came to see Feng Lingxi, he was quickly let in.

"Light Cloud Brother, what did you bring this time"

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly and walked towards Huangfu Qingyun. Seeing Feng Lingxi approaching, Huangfu Qingyun quickly stepped forward and reached out to help her, his movements natural and familiar.

"Xier, slow down and watch your footing, the ground is slippery."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of helplessness, "I'm fine, you're really too nervous."

Huangfu Qingyun laughed and said, "How could I not be nervous The one in your belly is my godson, of course I would be nervous."

"Feng Lingxi, come and sit down." Holding Feng Lingxi's arm, Huangfu Qingyun gestured for his attendants to bring forward the pastries he had brought. "This is osmanthus cake for you. Try some."

Feng Lingxi took a bite. She liked gui hua cakes not because she truly enjoyed them, but because once when she mentioned them, she got lost in thought about Dugu City. After that, Huangpu Qingyun started buying them for her. She didn't tell him the reason, considering it a way to miss Dugu City.

"The taste is even better than last time."

Huangfu Qingyun nodded, "If you like it, next time you like what, I'll bring it to you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangpu Qingyun's increasingly handsome features, "The year is coming to an end and it will snow soon. There are many things happening in the palace. If you can't leave, don't keep running here, lest people talk."

Huangfu Qingyun's movements froze slightly, looking at Feng Lingxi's worried eyes and squeezing out a smile.

"Both my parents are still young, and there's nothing happening in the court right now. If I don't go for a walk, what else can I do"

"I heard that the Yuan Dynasty is now in turmoil, and all countries are attacking it, wanting a piece of the pie. Don't you want to"

Although she may pretend to be oblivious to the world outside, she is still the Saintess of the Yao Clan. Whatever she wants to know, a little inquiring will reveal it.

She knew that Emperor Qingyun now had an absolute advantage. If the Xia Dynasty was truly willing, swallowing the Great Yuan Dynasty wouldn't be impossible.

"Arawi has always longed for peace, but don't even think about it."

Feng Lingxi saw that he was unwilling to bring it up, and softly asked, "Are you worried about going to war with Dugu City You don't have to worry about my opinion."

"I'll consider it."

Huangpu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, but still didn't tell her that Dugu Cheng arrived in Linxi County. Since leaving the capital, he had never returned. The military power of Linxi County was in his hands. Although the court kept an eye on him, Dugu Cheng didn't reveal the matter of his memory. He only corresponded with the soldiers in Linxi County behind the scenes.

Du Gu Su's changes over the past few months have been tremendous. Half of the power of the Great Yuan Dynasty is now in his hands, and there is a strong trend replacing Du Gu Xiu. The only uncertainty is whether Huan Yue truly belongs to him.

But they received confirmed news that Huanyue was sent here by them. They kept it a secret from Feng Lingxi, and both inside and outside the Yao clan were extremely strict about this, not mentioning it at all.

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, without asking further questions. Huangfu Qingyun waited for more than an hour before leaving.

"Xiao Li, go check the current situation of the world and tell me."

"Lord, are you thinking of the Lord Protector"

Xiao Li was a little flustered. Looking at Li Wu Yan approaching, she hurriedly reminded him, "Master Saint, Doctor Li is here."

Feng Lingxi watched Li Wuyan approach and invited him to sit down.

"This is brought by Light Cloud Brother, try it"

Li Wuyan didn't make a move, but instead looked at Feng Lingxi's complexion. It was alright.

Good news and bad news, which one would you like to hear

"Just say what you want."

Feng Lingxi had already gotten used to Li Wuyan speaking like that; after all, whether it was good or bad, she would know eventually.

The good news is that Dugu Cheng has come here.

Feng Ling Xi heard this news, her heart skipped a beat. Was he the one who came looking for her

With a heart pounding, he asked, "What's the bad news"

"He came here for the Phantom Moon. The Empress sent him to the Yao Clan to find you and bring you back in exchange for the Phantom Moon's safety."

Feng Lingxi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.d into Feng Lingxi's eyes, seeing the worry within them, "Don't worry, child. With your mother here, nothing will happen to you. The current situation in court is precarious. You want to leave, but y...
