Chapter 938: Metamorphosis 12

dimmed slightly, and that dimming expression made Feng Lingxi realize something was wrong. "But what about the people around you"Dugu Cheng stopped Feng Lingxi, signaling her not to press too hard. Wa...Hearing Luoli ask this question, Feng Lingxi instinctively retorted, "Is it Dugu City"

"You even know this"

Luo Li was a little surprised, "Did Ayan already tell you this"

Now it was Feng Lingxi's turn to be surprised. Looking at Luo Li's shocked eyes, she really guessed correctly. It was really Dugu Cheng

Looking back on times spent with the owner of Tianxiang Lou before, she did have these suspicions. But now that they were confirmed, it felt almost unreal.

"It wasn't what Ayan said, but what you just said."

"I..."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's resolute eyes, slapped herself on the mouth, and muttered, "Talkative."

"It seems you have been keeping quite a few things from me." Or perhaps she had never truly guarded herself against them, never expecting the owner of this Tianxiang Building to be Dugu Cheng. Feng Lingxi suddenly felt an urge to ask Dugu Cheng, why he had kept it from her.

But then again, I thought it wasn't necessary. Everyone has some secrets, especially someone like Duguo Cheng.

"Let him tell you about it himself." Now that Dugu City's identity as the master of the building had been revealed, Feng Lingxi didn't get angry. Luo Li's opinion of Feng Lingxi became even more confused. Was she just not angry after giving birth, or had she really changed

Let him say what he wants.

How could "Shezi Lei," the legendary figure in the underworld, exist without a story

And she, when she met Dugu City, he already had such an identity.

Dugu Cheng, disguised as Ye Xi with Feng Ling Xi's help, went to Shou An Palace. This was the first time Dugu Cheng had used disguise in front of Feng Ling Xi. Looking at the face exactly like Ye Xi, Feng Ling Xi wouldn't have known that Dugu Cheng possessed such skill if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

"When you get to Shou'an Palace, just tell the Empress Dowager whatever you have to say. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Dugu Cheng reminded him, somewhat worried.

Don't let anyone find out.

Feng Lingxi responded and followed Dugu City, gazing at his profile. Her mind kept flashing images of the Tianxiang Tower owner wearing a mask. Now that she saw him like this, she realized how foolish she had been. Besides covering his face, it made him even easier to identify.

獨孤城 felt her gaze upon him, but said nothing. There were many things between them that needed to be said face-to-face, but now was not the appropriate time.

Upon arriving at Shou'an Palace, Dugu City brought Feng Lingxi to meet the Empress Dowager Cen who was bedridden. News of Dugu City's arrival at Shou'an Palace quickly reached Dugu Xiu's ears.

Fortunately, Empress Cen still has the ability now. If not, I'm afraid that Dugu Xiu would have stormed into the palace and taken Dugu Cheng away.

Feng Lingxi disguised herself as Ye Xi, following Dugu City's side all the time. Empress Cen watched Dugu Xiu and coughed violently.

"The Empress has something to discuss with the Fourth Prince. The Emperor wants to see him, so we'll have to wait a little longer."

>

"Your Majesty, I have spoken with Feng Lingxi. She will arrive in the capital in a few days and I will bring her to the palace to see you then." Dugu Cheng addressed Feng Lingxi by name without any emotion in his voice.

Dugu Xiu glanced at him, "I also heard that the Fourth Prince met Huan Yue and Su Wang, but there was no reaction at all. Could it be that you have already recovered your memory So you have no feelings for Huan Yue anymore."

"Your Majesty, Prince Su is my older brother. Although Huan Yue is the love of my life, they are already married. I cannot, for this reason alone, cause a feud between siblings."

Du Gu Cheng's words did not make Du Gu Xiu give up, but instead stared at him for a long time.

"You mean to say that you would even give your beloved woman to the King of Su"

Dugu Cheng looked at Dugu Xiu's eyes with no concealment, "Your Majesty, this is not a concession from my side, but a lack of choice."

This person is already married to Dugu Su, could it be that he's going to snatch her away

"Your Majesty, let's not bring this up again. He's suffering enough already, you shouldn't add to it."

"Empress Dowager Cen helped Duke Gucheng break the siege. "You know about this Phantom Moon and Prince Su. It's my fault for causing trouble for Fourth Prince. I kept him in the palace, which led to this."

"Mother, this has nothing to do with you."

Even though she was ill, Dugu Xiu still had some filial piety towards Empress Cen. After all, she was his biological mother. Disobeying her wouldn't benefit him in any way, especially now with the current situation and Dugu Su being so powerful.

You can't risk falling out with her.

"I also care for the Fourth Prince. This Feng Lingxi was divorced by him, and this beloved woman has now married the King of Su. I'm afraid his heart won't be good."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this, secretly glanced at Du Gu Cheng. Seeing his expression cold and silent, he seemed as if the words spoken were not about him at all.

"Your Majesty, please go back first. This servant has some things to discuss with him."

"Mother, Your Majesty…"

Before Dugu Xiu could say anything more, Empress Cen impatiently waved her hand. Dugu Xiu glanced at Dugu Cheng and then left reluctantly.

Within the Shou'an Palace, there was finally silence. Empress Cen looked at Dugu City, "You saw the Emperor's attitude just now. Right now, my words still have a little effect, but in a few days, I'm afraid it won't work anymore."

Dugu City looked at Cen Taizi, and towards Feng Lingxi beside him, he said, "You stay here to see the Empress Dowager, I'll go out to see the Emperor."

When Empress Cen heard Dugu City talking with his guard, her eyes flickered with a hint of suspicion. She quickly regained composure.

"All of you, wait outside."

Feng Lingxi saw that everyone had left, then took off her mask and looked at Empress Cen. Seeing Feng Lingxi, Empress Cen's eyes lit up, unable to hide her joy.

"Your Majesty, I have done what you asked. I hope Your Majesty will release my mother."

Empress Cen looked at Feng Lingxi and felt as if she were seeing a stranger.

"It's good to see you."

Empress Cen's heart was heavy, her eyes slightly moist.

"Your Majesty, I came to see you not because of him, but because you and he said there was something very important you wanted to tell me," Feng Lingxi never gave Dugu Cheng a single glance. This was the only way she could conceal the fact that Dugu Cheng had yet to recover his memory.

If her eyes were off, I'm afraid this Empress Cen wouldn't let her go so easily.

"It's truly difficult for me to see you."

“The Empress Dowager should know that my status is different now than it was before. I trust the Empress Dowager doesn’t need me to recount what she did to me” His cold eyes swept over Empress Dowager Cen's sickly frame, the obvious poisoning instantly recognizable to him.

This harem, the schemes of poisoning are truly endless.

“I know you hate me, but this time I’m not here for the Yao Clan’s treasures. This frail body of mine couldn't use them even if I wanted to.” The Yuan Dynasty was about to be destroyed anyway. What good would those treasures do She hated it. If she were a man, this world wouldn't have been hers."The Empress dowager read aloud, and the daughters of ministers who had come to the hunting ground responded in unison. Many were drawn to the emperor's handsome features. Some ambitious young women...
