Chapter 341: Seize Power 96

unable to understand him. He was clearly a ruthless person, yet he seemed like a gentle and considerate man.After breakfast, Feng Lingxi went back to her room to rest. She was injured and didn't want...Feng Lingxi exited the room and saw Xiao Li guarding the door. Upon seeing the princess, Xiao Li hurried forward, her eyes full of concern, "Princess, are you alright"

Just hearing the sounds from inside, she wished she had x-ray vision.

"Want to kill."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She really wished she could rush to Du Gu Xiu's face right now, grab him and dismember him a thousand times. She couldn't figure out what kind of grudge she had with Du Gu Xiu, why he was so hostile towards her and the people around her

"Your Majesty, calm down. Even the highest-ranking madam couldn't defeat the Sixth Prince in martial arts. How could you possibly be his match"

Xiao Li comforted, seeing the killing intent in the Queen's eyes gradually disappear. She continued, "Your Majesty, if you truly want to avenge the mistress, you mustn't act impulsively. This sixth prince might very well be waiting for you to seek him out, and then he'll trap you like a fish in a barrel."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, “You don’t need to comfort me, I understand what you said. What about Feng Aotian”

He was taken down by the prince, saying that it was to save his life and let the princess dispose of him.

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, but Dugu Cheng seemed to know what she was thinking.

"Lead the way."

Little Li responded and led the princess to see Feng Aotian.

Dugu Cheng and Xue Wushang came to the back garden. The two sat in the pavilion, after tea, Dugu Cheng said, "Wushang, how could you have time to come to Xixian"

Xue Wushang took a sip of tea, his smile never fading from the corner of his lips. His black eyes lifted slightly, looking exceptionally handsome.

"If I said I came here to see your woman, would the Fourth Prince be angry"

"Are you here for Xi'er"

When did Xier become so famous that even Xue Wu Shang is interested in her

Dugu Cheng was unhappy, his expression slightly twisted, which made Xue Wushang's smile deepen even more.

It is and it isn't, it isn't and it is.

"Your words, 'no casualties,' are beyond my comprehension."

Xue Wushang sipped his tea and said, "Do you still remember the condition the King once promised me Now I come to ask the King to keep his promise."

Dugu Cheng's heart tightened, and his mind became uneasy.

He felt that Xue Wushang's visit this time was most likely related to Xi'er.

"Wushang, what are your terms"

"I want to be alone."

Dugu Cheng's expression changed drastically, looking at Xue Wu Shang's smile in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "If you want Xi'er, I'm afraid I can't agree. You should know that Xi'er is my queen. My king and she have been married for several months."

"You're overthinking it. What would I want with your princess The person I came for today is indeed connected to the princess, and I want the one who has always wanted the princess dead: Yao Feifei."

"Yao Feifei"

Dugu City looked at Xue Wu Shang in astonishment, "What do you want her to do Do you know her"

"I don't know, will you agree or not"

Dugu Cheng was silent for a while before asking, "What do you want her to do Do you want to get the location of the Yaozu treasure from her mouth"

"This world doesn't belong to me, what should I do with the treasure I want Yao Feifei's life."

Xue Wushang smiled, looking at Dugu City's increasingly puzzled expression, "To be frank with you, when I was young, I once met Yao Feifei who came out to play in the capital. She saved my life back then. This favor has always been unreturned by me. Now that I have calculated that she is in danger, I came out to ask you for a personal favor, which is also a way to repay her life-saving grace back then. I hope that the Fourth Prince will fulfill my request."

Dugu Cheng listened to Xue Wushang's explanation and finally understood why Xue Wushang wanted Yao Feifei.

"I promise you, but first I must capture her and bring the Yao clan members who rebelled with her to justice. Only then can I hand Yao Feifei over to you."

"I only want Yao Feifei. As for the rest, I don't care."

Dugu City nodded, "This time, thank you for your help. This king thanks you on behalf of Xi'er. However, if you want Xi'er to agree to any conditions, feel free to state them. This king will also help her fulfill them."

Xue Wushang laughed, "Your Highness, what are you afraid of You and I have known each other for so many years, you should know what kind of person I, Xue Wushang, am."

"Wu Shang, this king means no harm. I only want to help Xi'er. She is this king's queen, and doing these things is what should be done."

Dugu Cheng only wanted to share things with Xi'er. These days, she was already tired enough, and he felt heartache looking at her.

"This is a matter between me and the Queen. But rest assured, Wushang won't make things difficult for her."

Since Du Gucheng had said so, he could only refrain from pressing further.

"Then, this King shall take his leave."

Xue Wusang raised his teacup, taking a delicate sip. "I have some business to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Watching his departing figure, Dugu City's expression twisted slightly. This Xue Wu Shang was always like this, coming and going without a trace, yet mysterious and powerful. But I hope he truly won't make things difficult for Xi'er.

"My Lord, the Queen has gone to General Feng's place. You should hurry over and have a look. I'm afraid that if the Queen gets angry, she will kill General Feng."

"Xier wouldn't do something like patricide, but it's definitely worth checking out."

Dugu City got up, Ye Xi hurriedly followed, and came to Feng Aotian's courtyard.

Feng Lingxi stood before the bed, her anger abated at the sight of Feng Aotian lying on it, his body covered in blood. His face was pale and devoid of color, his eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi. His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't speak, weak as if he could die at any moment.

This kind of Feng Aotiān is something Feng Lingxi has never seen before. Before, he was imposing with a cold gaze, stern and harsh towards her. Now...Feng Lingxi should have mocked him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her heart wasn't in it.

Their eyes met. Feng Ling Xi's gaze held anger, suppressed and then replaced by coldness.

"How is he"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, her tone cold and emotionless. Looking at Feng Lingxi like this, Feng Aotian's eyes closed slightly, his eyes moist, feeling guilty in his heart, but unable to say it out loud.

He knew Xier hated him, even wished he were dead. Now that he was here, Xier hadn't driven him away, only out of respect for Wan Ying.

"Reporting to the Princess, General Feng's injuries are severe. He was heavily punished and stabbed several times. Although he wasn't hit in any vital areas, he still needs careful treatment and proper rest to recover."

Feng Lingxi heard that he had been stabbed several times, her eyebrows slightly raised. She reached out and lifted the quilt, looking at the wound on Feng Aotiantian's chest. Blood was still oozing out. His shoulders, abdomen, and right chest were all pierced. The wounds weren't deep, but they weren't shallow either. They wouldn't kill him, but they could take half his life.

"Who is Dugu Xiugang"

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes swept over Feng Aotiān, seeing his slight nod, she let out a cold snort. "Aren't you doing things for him How come, before the matter is finished, he crosses the river and dismantles the bridge"

“Your Highness, you know how cunning the Sixth Prince is. He probably thinks General Feng has lost his use and that's why he made his move. Just consider what your husband would want and let this go.” Xiao Li looked at General Feng in such a state, it was truly pitiful to behold., there are vacancies in the harem with three thousand beauties. It is most important to give the Emperor a heir. When the Emperor has an heir, the Fourth Prince's Mansion will dare to give birth to o...
