Chapter 342: Seizing Power 97

be the most favored person in Empress Cen's eyes."Xier, may you return to the palace tomorrow"Just out of the palace, Du Gu Cheng asked, watching her gradually fading smile, holding her icy hand, his..."Xiao Li, lend me a hand."

Feng Lingxi and Feng Wu Aotian looked at each other for a while, but she still decided to save him.

Just as Xiao Li said, even if she disliked him, her mother had almost risked her life to save him. If he died, wouldn't all her mother's efforts be in vain

Xiao Li hurried over to help, watching as the Princess treated Feng General's wound. Her skilled hands and meticulous bandaging technique put everyone at ease.

Feng Aotien just stared at Feng Lingxi like that, not saying a word. Even when Feng Lingxi was in pain and sweating, he didn't utter a sound. His lips were pale from the pain, and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, but he endured it.

Du Gucheng and Ye Xi hurried over and saw Feng Lingxi tending to Feng Aotian's wounds. However, the coldness emanating from her body was like someone owed her money and hadn't paid it back. The atmosphere was thick with tension, making it hard to breathe.

"My lord, I think we've made a mistake again."

Ye Xi swallowed nervously, watching Princess Feng's nimble movements as she stitched. It was like sewing clothes, except it was bloody flesh. How could a young lady be so fearless, stitching with no expression on her face

"Xier, is there anything I can help you with"

獨孤城 walked up to Feng Ling Xi's face, watching her hands covered in blood from sewing. He wanted to help, but didn't know what he could do

"It's just sewing, I can do it myself. What about Xue Wushang"

Dugu City's voice made Feng Lingxi's heart feel less drawn to Feng Aotian. At least it wasn't just looking at Feng Aotian, but could help distract her attention.

He went out and will be back later.

Feng Lingxi thought to herself that she had promised Xue Wu Shang conditions, and now that the matter was done, she should keep her promise.

"Is Xue Wushang really as good as you say"

"How did you suddenly ask that"

Dugu Cheng frowned, looking at Xi'er's thoughtful eyes. Just as he was about to comfort her, he heard her say.

He said he would grant me one condition if he saved my mother, and now I must keep my promise.

Feng Lingxi's eyes held a hint of worry. This sudden appearance of Xue Wushang, and his divine ability to save her mother, made her wonder about his intentions. What conditions might he have Would she be able to fulfill them

"You'd have to ask him about that. I just asked him a moment ago, and he said he wanted to ask you himself."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "So be it."

"Xier, as for Duguxiu's side, I plan to lead troops into battle. Two armies clashing will inevitably result in casualties. I'm telling you this so you can mentally prepare yourself."

Whether it was the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, who had all followed him before, now each serving their own masters. He didn't want to fight, but he had no choice.

The imperial court is pressing hard, having already reached our doorstep. If we still refrain from engaging in battle, we fear there will be endless provocation.

Feng Lingxi also understood this truth. From the moment she made her move, she had a plan. This battle had to be fought.

Even if you don't fight, I had this plan. Dugu Xiu is pressuring us like this because he thinks we wouldn't dare to act because we are all soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty. But our constant concessions only make them more daring in their treatment of us.

"I think the same way, Xi'er. Take good care of Mother these days, and wait for my good news."

Feng Lingxi replied, “Be careful yourself.”

Dugu City stepped out of the house, watching Xi'er taking care of Feng Aotian. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. This battle was likely to further solidify the charge of treason against him.

"Ye Xi, get ready. Tomorrow we march, and contact Huangfu Qingyun. He'll join us to attack Dugu Xiu by surprise."

This is a simple example to demonstrate how to use the translation API. Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate and I will do my best!

After giving his orders, Dugu City immediately summoned the generals of the city to discuss the strategy for tomorrow's battle.

On the other side, Dugu Xiu learned that Dugu City would attack him tomorrow. The smile on his lips froze, and he looked at the soldiers kneeling below, his eyes suddenly turning cold.

"You heard right, is it true that Dugu City is going to make a move"

"Sixth Royal Prince, my subordinate heard it clearly. The Fourth Royal Prince is indeed going to attack tomorrow."

Dugu Xiu paced back and forth, his brows furrowed. This was not right. According to their temperaments, they wouldn't attack him. Dugu City wouldn't make a move against him, and he couldn't possibly attack the soldiers of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

"Sixth Prince, there's news from the capital."

Dugu Xiu looked at the letter being handed to him, tore it open and read the contents. His handsome face turned ashen, and he unconsciously clenched his fist.

"Send the order, retreat at once."

Yao Feifei's smile froze, and she hurriedly asked, "Sixth Prince, didn't you promise me you would destroy Feng Lingxi Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops and directly attack Linxi County to kill Feng Lingxi and get the Purple Star Then the Yao Clan's treasure would be yours."

獨孤修黑眸驟然一冷,扭頭看著姚菲菲的瞬間,伸手掐著她的脖子,狠戾的眼神讓姚菲菲驚恐地看著他,艱難地問,“六王爺,這是怎麼回事?”

"The Empress Dowager's will, do you want to defy the Emperor"

Dugu Xiu furiously pushed Yao Feifei to the ground. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger that made Yao Feifei tremble. Dugu Xiu's expression just now was truly terrifying; she thought he was going to kill her.

Although I wasn't successful this time, it did make me see one thing clearly.

Dugu City's lips curled into a sneer, "No matter what this king does, he will always be better."

Yao Feifei rose to her feet, looking at Du Gucheng's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Six King, are you talking about the current emperor"

"Being born in the same year, it's simply because this king was born later than him that this throne has nothing to do with this king. You say, where does this king fall short compared to him"

Yao Feifei heard the unwillingness in Dugu Xiu's words and hurriedly offered a plan. "Sixth Prince, why not take his place If you get the Purple Star and the treasures of the Yao Clan, let alone the throne of this Great Yuan Dynasty, even the entire world would be yours."

Dugu Xiu looked at Yao Feifei and suddenly smiled, but the sinister smile made Yao Feifei's hair stand on end. She could only smile stiffly back at him.

"My Lord, the Sixth Prince has withdrawn his troops."

Ye Xi replied, Dugu City's brows furrowed slightly, "Retreat"

Ye Xi nodded, "Withdraw troops at night. According to my subordinates, it was the Empress Dowager who summoned him back to the palace. As for the specific reason, my subordinates are unaware."

"Could it be because of Feng Aotiantian"

But this capital city is not close to here, how could the Empress Dowager know about this place in such a short time

"My lord, given the current situation, should we continue to fight"

"The army has retreated, what's there left to fight for"

Dugu Cheng looked puzzled, "Go tell Huangfu Qingyun that Dugu Xiu is withdrawing his troops and ask him to retreat."

Ye Xi took her orders and left. Dugu City led his army back to Linxi County. Feng Lingxi heard the news and rushed over. Seeing Dugu City return, she immediately asked him the reason. Upon hearing the reason, she also looked bewildered.

"Xi'er, Gallo Country has already been captured. Now Emperor Qingyun is stationed outside the city. Are you going back to Huang Xia Dynasty with him, or staying here with me"

Dugu Cheng asked out his confusion, this feeling of sourness in his heart was unbearable. He wanted Xi'er to stay, but he was also afraid she wouldn't agree.ntage of the fact that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were busy, they started to flirt with him."Your Highness, Minister of Personnel Gao Zhu respectfully offers you a cup."Dugu Cheng raised his...
