er eyes, "I said these days why there was no news from my mother. The turmoil within the Yao clan, my mother is probably in great danger. We don't even know what caused the turmoil.""You'll know when...Seeing that Feng Lingxi didn't reply, Dugu Su wasn't angry. He knew that Feng Lingxi would change her mind because of his words, and she would go to study the antidote for Luoshuang flower. That was enough.
"This King has said all that he needs to say, Fourth Princess. Whether you agree or not, this King thanks you for listening to so many words." Dugu Su slowly closed his eyes and softly said, "This King hasn't spoken this much in a long time."
Feng Ling Xi remained expressionless as ever, her thoughts a mystery to all.
Dugu Cheng quickly arrived at Su Wangfu. Seeing Xi'er and Dugu Su chatting there, he quickly walked to them, his gaze falling on Dugu Su, and asked, "Second brother, what happened Why did Li Guanjia..."
"Fourth Brother, Li Guanjia's death is just the beginning."
Dugu Cheng's expression stiffened, and after a long while he asked, "Second brother, are you blaming me for coming to see you"
Dugu Su shook her head, her eyes drifting far away, "This king had long expected there would be such a day. From Empress Cen's attention to this king, it was destined that all of this would begin. Li Butler's death is just the beginning."
Feng Lingxi frowned slightly, "Your Lordship's meaning is that Li Butler's death is..."
Before he could finish his words, Du Gu Su interrupted him.
"The Fourth Royal Consort misunderstood the meaning of this King."
Wind Lingxi closed her mouth, could it be that she didn't understand the same way as him
獨孤城低聲解釋道，“二哥不是那個意思，兮兒不要猜忌，免得惹禍上身。”
Feng Lingxi responds, and now, one's words and actions must be careful.
"The Fourth Royal Consort is a smart woman, Your Majesty. With this explanation, you'll understand." Du Gu Su finished speaking and looked towards Du Gu Cheng, adding, "Even if you don't understand, it doesn't matter. The Fourth Prince will understand."
Feng Lingxi guessed that Dugu Su believed the death of Li, the steward, was just the beginning. Perhaps it was the Empress Dowager's doing, but it couldn't be said for sure; it was also possible that it wasn't. She just said that after he was noticed by Empress Dowager Cen, the people around him had already been restless, treating him like an appetizer.
"What can we do to help"
Feng Lingxi added, "Besides what you said."
"Even if it's come to this, what else can they do to me I have nothing left but my life."
After Dugu Su finished speaking, he turned his wheelchair towards Li Guanjia's body. His sorrowful tone made one's heart ache.
"Xier, don't take what your second brother said to heart."
Dugu Cheng held Feng Ling Xi's hand, his eyes signaling, "This king will go back and tell you in detail."
Feng Lingxi, though doubtful, obediently nodded.
The imperial court paid great attention to Li Guanjia's death. In particular, Empress Cen reassigned a steward to the Su Wangfu and also allocated maidservants to serve diligently. The furniture in the Su Wangfu was also newly arranged. All expenses were personally handled by the imperial court. In just a few days, the Su Wangfu was completely renewed, and Su Wang's reputation once again appeared in the capital.
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng sat on the second floor of Tianxiang Building, listening to the commoners talk about the changes in Su Wangfu after tea and dinner, but they remained silent.
The changes to the Duke of Su's mansion were indeed unexpected. No one had anticipated that Empress Cen would be so generous to the Duke of Su.
While Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng knew well that this so-called "generous treatment" was actually sending people to monitor Dugu Su, they didn't visit Duke Su's mansion. They wanted to avoid being talked about and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
These days, how many people in the capital would want to be associated with the Su Mansion
"It's unimaginable that in just a few days, the Su Mansion has become renowned in Beijing. The death of Li Butler was worth it."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A familiar voice entered Feng Lingxi's ears. Looking at Luoli who was walking towards them, Feng Lingxi's astonished eyes almost popped out. Luoli looked at the joy in her eyes and couldn't help but smile, raising an eyebrow at Dugu City as if showing off his importance to Feng Lingxi.
But wouldn't Du Gucheng be so petty He raised his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Brother Luo returned to the capital so many days ago, yet only now come to see us. Aren't you ashamed to face Xi'er"
Wind Ling's smile vanished instantly. She looked at Luo Li with a probing gaze.
"Chief, you've returned early"
Luo Li's expression stiffened, and she glared at Du Gu Cheng. The way they looked at each other was like lovers, making people watching feel as if they were witnessing romance.
"Isn't that how the Four Kings are" Luoli retorted, raising an eyebrow with a defiant smirk. The implication in her eyes made Dugu City frown, while Feng Lingxi was completely lost in their intense exchange, unsure of where she fit in.
"My brother, your words have led me astray. I must question your intentions."
Although Dugu Cheng said so, he had already told the waiter to bring wine. Their relationship didn't seem like they hadn't seen each other in a long time, especially the moment their eyes met, which made Feng Lingxi feel that there was something between them that they were hiding from her.
"If I were to deceive you, Your Majesty would surely be forced to abdicate in order to pressure me," Luo Li made a gesture of appeasement. "I truly dare not."
"You two, are you ever going to stop"
Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, "Can you speak more clearly"
"This..."
Dugu Cheng hesitated for a moment, but Luo Li laughed and looked at Dugu Cheng provocatively, "I could tell him, but..."
"Lu elder brother, this is what you and I promised."
Wind Lingxi heard Dugu City say this, her heart was filled with anger. Dugu City really did have something he was hiding from her.
"You guys talk, I'm going for a walk."
Feng Lingxi stood up, and Dugucheng grabbed her arm, saying, "Lingxi, this king knows I was wrong. Don't be angry with me. Luoli is just like that, don't mind him."
"Lord, are you angry that she kept this from you What business is it of mine"
Luo Li raised her cup, took a delicate sip, and couldn't help but praise, "Good wine."
Feng Lingxi stared at Dugu City, Luo Li slowly opening her mouth, "Your Highness doesn't need to be angry. What he doesn't want to say is naturally something he can't tell you for the time being. Some things, Your Highness, it's better not to dwell too much on them, lest you invite trouble. Why don't you have a drink with me and listen to the news I've gathered during my trip"
Wind Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looked at Dugu City nodded, that sincere eyes, sat down, and looked at Luo Li.
"Well then, I've been feeling restless in the capital lately. You tell me, have you heard any news about Huangfu Qingyun"
When mentioning Huangpu Qingyun, Dugu City's face turned a bit grim. Even Luoli frowned along with him.
"What's wrong"
Feng Lingxi sensed that something was wrong, her eyes darkened slightly, "Did something happen to him"
"Why is the Lord so worried about him, the Crown Prince of the Aohua Dynasty He's been protected by the Aohua Dynasty since his birth. You shouldn't worry about this, wouldn't Dugu City be jealous"
"Dugu Cheng isn't you, so he wouldn't get jealous easily. Besides, Huangfu Qingyun and I are like siblings. He hasn't written to me in ages. Have you heard from him at all" Ling-xi's change is truly significant. She has also become much calmer and capable of handling things well."Since Empress Cen is so eager to see me, and it's not for the Yao Clan's treasures, she mus...
