ent of medicine, Princess Zhaoran's brow furrowed slightly, but she didn't intend to leave.Feng Lingxi took the medicine in one gulp and, looking at Zhaoran County Princess's tightly furrowed brows, s...Waner stood before Duguo City's bed, looking at his current frail and weak appearance. She felt both angry and annoyed.

"Don't worry, Father is fine."

Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, forcing out a smile to reassure Wan'er. However, Wan'er glared at him unhappily.

"You're thinking too much. I came here to see if you choked on your own blood."

"My lady, how can you speak to your father like that He must be so heartbroken." Luo Qin'yi entered the room and heard what Wan'er said. She hurried forward, fearing her mistress would be angered to death.

"What are you, you have no right to accuse me when I'm talking to him."

Wan'er's pretty face was full of anger, watching Dugu City cough with his hand covering his mouth. She was really angry, but she was also very worried, afraid that he would really cough up blood and die.

Although he was a bad man, he was still her biological father. But why would he hurt their mother, forcing her to hide with her younger siblings for five years Grandpa Lu told her that their mother was very strong and wouldn't share her worries with them. She endured everything silently.

"Wan'er, be polite."

After coughing, Dugu Cheng panted and scolded, "She is your elder, you can't…"

"Fox spirit, if it weren't for her, would you be like this now It's all her fault. You still speak up for her, and I know that in your heart, there's no place for my mother. That's why my mother died of a broken heart after marrying into this family. It's all your fault."

Wan'er, filled with anger, finished scolding and ran out. However, she didn't go far and bumped into Ye Xi who was walking by.

"Miss, what's wrong with you"

"Ye Xi."

Wan'er hugged Ye Xi's thigh and cried out, "Wah!" Ye Xi hurriedly pulled Wan'er to a distance. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he asked, “Your Highness, tell me, what happened”

Wan'er cried for a while before stopping, sniffed and looked at Yexi.

"Ye Xi, do you think my mother is beautiful"

Of course, she is beautiful. The Princess is the first beauty in the capital city, this is known by everyone throughout the Great Yuan Dynasty.

When it comes to the Princess Consort, Ye Xi knows at once that Wan'er is crying because of the Princess Consort and her husband.

Is she Luo Qin Yi more beautiful than my mother

Ye Xi was stunned, looking at Wan'er's angry eyes and squatting down to comfort her, "County Princess, listen to me, this matter is complicated. You are a child, you don't need to worry about these things..."

Yè'er angrily pushed away Yèxī, "I'm not a child anymore. I know my mission is to succeed as the leader of the Yao clan and inherit my master's position. I understand everything, you don't have to tell me."

Ye Xi hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, okay. If you really want to hear it, then I'll tell you. Luo Concubine is indeed not as beautiful as your mother, but her status now is the concubine of your father, and besides, didn't you just say that you have a mission Luo Concubine also does."

"She seduced my father, causing my parents to separate. Is this her purpose"

Ye Xi took a deep breath and nodded.

"Indeed, I tell you this, your father has never betrayed your mother's feelings. When you grow up, you will naturally understand."

"Nonsense."

Wǎn'er glared at Yèxī, "You're just like him, always saying, 'you'll understand when you grow up.' When will I ever understand You don't tell me, how do you know I don't understand"

Ye Xi was speechless, caught off guard by Wan'er's words.

He was also speechless, he wanted to let Wan'er know, but she was so young, could she understand

"You're both the same, only caring about yourselves."

Wǎner finished speaking and turned to leave. Yèxī hurried after her.

"My Lady, it's not like that, I just…"

"Don't follow me, I don't want to hear what you have to say."

"The King is being forced."

Ye Xi roared, Wan'er's footsteps came to a halt, she turned to look at Ye Xi, looking at the pain and struggle in his eyes. Seeing Wan'er stop, her face was full of disbelief.

"What did you just say Forced Who could force him, he's the Crown Prince, isn't he"

"What's the Crown Prince How many people in this world want him dead, want your mother dead, want you dead, do you know You only know how to blame the King, but do you know how much suffering he endured to protect you and the Princess"

Ye Xi said these things, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

"The King took a concubine from the Luo clan, this is true. The women in the King's harem are also true. But do you know why the King became like this His hair turned white for someone, and he fell ill because of someone. Do you think it was the Luo Concubine, or one of the women in the harem"

Ye Xi looked at Wan'er standing there dumbfounded, taking a deep breath.

"My Lady, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the Lord Husband. It also doesn't matter if you blame him. But I just want to tell you, the Lord Husband is sorry to the Madam, but he has never been sorry to you. He carries too much responsibility, not only from the court but also from the Yao Clan. You should know, when the Lord Husband married your mother, it wasn't just about marrying her. There was also the Yao Clan lurking behind her, with their intricate schemes and plots."

Waner looked at Ye Xi, but remained silent for a long time.

It turns out there was so much she didn't know.

But, "Ye Xi, aren't you trying to tell me my master isn't a good person"

He wasn't...

Yèxī's words were still half-said before she swallowed them back.

"My Lady, Ye Xi spoke too much today and may have offended you. Please seek out the Madam for redress. Consider what I just said as mere nonsense. I still need to attend to His Royal Highness; his body can't handle any more stimulation or it could be fatal."

After saying that, Ye Xi quickly left, leaving Wan'er standing alone. Anyway, Wan'er was never short of people to protect her, so she would be fine.

"Could I have really misjudged him"

Wan'er turned around and looked at Ye Xi, who was walking away. She hurried to follow him, but stopped at the door of the room, listening to the coughing sound inside. Wan'er lowered her head, but her heart clenched with worry. She worried about Dugu City, after all, that was her biological father.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

Ye Xi gave the King a transfer of her inner energy, watching as he improved. She comforted him, “The county princess is just a child, she doesn't understand things. Don't take her words to heart, you must take care of your own body.”

"Ye Xi, how is she Did she safely return to Xi'er"

Dugu City still cared about Wan'er's safety. He had long been accustomed to Wan'er's attitude towards him. With his current frail body, he didn't know how long he could last. All he hoped was that Wan'er would be alright. There were still two years left; as long as he held on, his Wan'er would grow up.

"She'll be fine, Your Highness, please rest assured. Those who left are always protecting her, you just need to take care of yourself."

"Ye Xi, she's married."

After Du Gucheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough again. Thinking of Xi'er getting married and having two children, Du Gucheng's heart became even more depressed, his face paler than ever, as if he would collapse at any moment.

"My lord, don't dwell on it. Focus on recovering first. I'll go and inquire about it later. Your wife loves you dearly; she wouldn't marry another man. Perhaps the child is yours after all."er is looking for you."Dugu Cheng looked at her with adoration, "The Saintess speaks of you."Feng Ling was at a loss, staring at Du Gu Cheng's serious expression. "When did I become a saint""Your moth...
