incense." Feng Lingxi stood up. "Mother, Xi'er still has some business to attend to outside the mansion. Please rest first, and Xi'er will come back later to pay my respects."Zhang nodded, watching h...Feng Lingxi put the whistle away and clenched the sheepskin scroll in her hand.

If the Yao Clan's plot would cost her Wan'er's life to complete, even if Feng Lingxi risked everything, she couldn't let them succeed.

"Boom..."

"Who"

There was a sound of something falling to the ground outside the door. Feng Lingxi hurried out and opened the door, but she saw no one, and there was nothing on the ground. Feng Lingxi looked around, then hurried back to Si Yu and Si Qi's room. Seeing that they were both sleeping soundly, she finally felt relieved.

She was probably overthinking it. This is the General's Mansion; there shouldn't be any assassins here.

However, for precaution, Feng Lingxi still decided to sleep in their room. The weather was so hot that sleeping on the floor wasn't a problem anyway.

"My Lord, Luo Qin Yi went to the Princess's courtyard, but he didn't make a move. He seemed to have alarmed the Princess, and fearing discovery, retreated."

Upon hearing the report, Du Gu Cheng's handsome face immediately darkened.

"She actually made up her mind."

"It's all your fault, radiating this damn charm. I'm telling you, if anything happens to my sister, I won't let it go." Lu Nian said so, but didn't move an inch.

In this general's residence, he had planted informants everywhere. No one could enter the mansion without being thoroughly scrutinized.

A man in black entered the queen's chamber, but when he left, the queen was unharmed.

Lu Nian instantly couldn't sit still and got up hurriedly.

"What are you saying You went into the black-clad people, are you sure my sister is fine"

That person nodded and truthfully said, "This man's martial arts skills are extremely high."

"Are there still experts hidden around Xi'er"

Li Nian was a little confused. There were people around his sister, and it seemed that he needed to investigate this further when he turned back.

"To be able to avoid your sight, this person's martial arts are indeed not weak. Since Xi'er let him in, this person must be someone she knows. As long as we don't harm her life, we will not interfere."

Dugu Cheng knew Feng Lingxi's temper well. If she knew that she was being watched like this, she would be even angrier.

Besides, she also had Tao Su by her side. Although Tao Su hadn't been as close to Xi'er these days, he hadn't slacked off on secretly protecting her safety. Anyone who could let him pass would either have martial arts skills surpassing his own or be someone he knew.

"In that case, Xi'er still has something to do."

Lu Nian touched his chin, "Could it be that she hired someone to investigate Feng Yu Xi"

"Wind and rain this evening"

Dugu Cheng frowned, Lu Nian nodded. "Yes, you don't know Feng Yu Xi's child and Si Yu Si Qi are the same, they have ice and fire poison in their bodies since birth, it's a Gu poison. They won't live for long. Feng Ao Tian found Xi Er to ask Xi Er to make a few doses of medicine for Feng Yu Xi to save her, so she can live a little longer."

"Wait a minute..."

Dugu Cheng heard this with some confusion, "You said Feng Yu Xi didn't have much time left to live, or was it her child"

"The child has been poisoned by the Ice and Fire toxin, and time is running out. The Wind and Rain Evening should be almost here, otherwise Feng Aotian wouldn't have let Xi'er go to get the medicine."

"How could this king not know about this"

Dugu Cheng was shocked. He didn't know about this in the capital, this child born on a stormy evening

How could that woman possibly give birth

"Still a child left behind, she was a daughter."

Lu Nianbai glanced at Dugu Cheng, "Why don't you care about the key point That child's poison and Si Yu Si Qi's poison from when they were little are the same, both carried from the mother."

獨孤城 came back to his senses, with a face full of apology.

"Your Majesty is not oblivious. It's just that there are too many messages, and this involves too many people."

"Isn't the focus on Binghuo Poison from Siyu and Siqi"

Lu Nian was unhappy. After all, they were his children, how could he be so concerned about others and not care about these two at all

You don't know Feng Yu Xi's character, but this king does. She would never willingly give birth to a child for someone else, and this child is Luo Li's, which makes things even stranger.

"What's so strange about it This is what happens when you spend time together, feelings develop. Just like Luo Qin Yi had for you, after spending time with you, she felt something and tried every way to sleep with you. It's just that Luo Li didn't hold back, and Feng Yu Xi got pregnant."

Dugu Cheng was silent. That was indeed the case, and it was true.

If Luo Qin'yi continued to stay by his side, she might become the second Fengyu Xi. He didn't want to have a relationship with other women, nor did he want other women to give birth to his children.

"But speaking of which, really, weren't there other women in your life these past five years How could you possibly stand it"

Lu Nian voiced her confusion, and Dugu City gave her a cold glance before countering, “What about you These years, you haven't married, haven't you had many women”

"Of course not, I'm not that kind of man. If I don't like it, I wouldn't be interested even if you took all my clothes off."

Dugu Cheng ignored him. What he said couldn't possibly be like this.

"Nowadays, men like us who are so devoted are truly rare. However, you're still a bit lacking compared to me. At least I remain chaste, unlike you, who has women surrounding you constantly, and your back yard is teeming with wives and concubines."

"Has this king ever touched one"

Dugu Cheng questioned, seeing Lu Nian subconsciously staring at his lower body, he coughed twice, "This king is perfectly fine, no illness."

"The ability to be a true gentleman and remain calm in the face of adversity, I admire that."

Lu Nian chuckled, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Although her relationship with her younger brother had its ups and downs, this Dugu City didn't disappoint Xi'er after all. Xi'er knew that for a woman like her, men were either there or not there. As a strong woman, she treated men as brothers most of the time, making clear distinctions in matters of the heart.

Just like Tao Su, young and handsome, although he is a village leader, he is very obedient to Xi'er. But what about Xi'er She still doesn't see him as anything more than a younger brother. This distance she maintains is clear, and if there's something to say, she lays it out plainly, leaving no room for misunderstanding. She's very straightforward.

"However, you're not as good as my sister. At least she knows what she wants, unlike you who is playing around with women."

Dugu Cheng's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the dissatisfaction in Lu Nian's eyes. Didn't they let him choose Luo Qin Yi as his concubine back then, which made Xi'er leave angrily

Now how did it all become his fault

"Your Majesty was wrong."

獨孤城 admitted defeat, after all, Lu Nian was his brother-in-law, and he would still have to rely on him in the future.

"Let's cut to the chase. I came here in the middle of the night, so you better make things clear to me. What are your plans for dealing with your Empress This time, my sister came to the capital and I don't want her to get hurt. And as for that Luo Qin Yi, if she dares to touch Xi'er, I'll destroy her."

獨孤城的表情也變得嚴肅起來。

"This King will go back and speak to the Empress Dowager personally, but if Xier returns to the capital this time, she's likely to be dragged into it again. Your Majesty, King Yu, even the Empress Dowager, will all be watching her."
