General Li. Your Highness, please be careful."After giving her instructions, Ye Xi immediately rode off. Dugu City led his army onward.Feng Yu Xi returned from Dugu Xiu's side in the wind and rain. Sh...When Dugu Cheng returned to the capital, he had nothing but the title of Prince Chen and Luo Qin'yi and Wan'er who accompanied him. Anyone else associated with him was demoted or punished.
Feng Yu Mo also disappeared after Feng Ling Xi went missing. Some said they saw him on the road to Aoshuo Dynasty, others said they saw him on the road to Xigu Kingdom, but no one saw Feng Ling Xi by his side.
The Lu family did not give up searching for Feng Lingxi, and Tianxiang Building did not either. However, Feng Lingxi still had no news whatsoever.
Spring comes and goes, Dugu City has returned to the capital three years ago, handing over his military power. It's been three and a half years since Feng Lingxi disappeared, and although Luo Qin entered Chen Wangfu, she hasn't been granted a title. The position of Chen Wangfei remains vacant, left for Feng Lingxi by Emperor Yuanzhao. Even when the current Empress Dowager tried to bestow a title upon her, Emperor Yuanzhao refused.
Since Feng Ling's disappearance, Wan'er though returned to the Chen Wangfu in the capital city with him, she never called Dugu Cheng "Father" again. She became cold and indifferent to everyone. The once lively and cheerful little girl now disliked speaking and gave everyone a frosty look.
Dugu City also fell ill on a snowy night. His hair turned white overnight, he was consumed by melancholy, and developed a cough that worsened day by day. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and despite countless doctors sent by the court, none could diagnose his illness.
Five years had passed, the Great Yuan dynasty's foundation was solid. Dugu City became the idle Prince of Xing in the capital city, his title as War God vanished with his transformation, leaving no trace. The people had long forgotten the undefeated War God.
Now, when commoners mention Prince Chen, they only know him as a scumbag who abandoned his original wife for another woman. And to this day, he has no children. In the eyes of the people, he is now justly punished, a retribution from heaven.
"My Lady,"
A frigid voice appeared in the backyard of Chen Wangfu. The Nianxi Tower of Chen Wangfu was Wan'er's residence, and this name was taken by Wan'er herself and hung up by others. Apart from her, no one was allowed to set foot here even half a step.
Even at less than eight years old, Wan'er had blossomed into a graceful and beautiful girl. Her features were cold and aloof, with an air of maturity that belied her age. Moreover, her resemblance to Feng Lingxi grew stronger with each passing day. In just five short years, she had become well-versed in both literature and martial arts, easily surpassing her peers in the capital city. However, no matter how much people desired her company, she remained indifferent and distant. Wan'er had no friends.
Apart from the guards, Su Yue, left behind to protect her, and a few others hidden in the shadows, Wan'er barely interacted with outsiders. Let alone going out to play, she wouldn't even attend the summons of Emperor Yuan Zhao. Despite this defiance, she remained unpunished.
Over time, Wan'er’s solitary nature became well-known throughout the capital. Nobody was unaware of it.
But is there any news about my mother
The sword in her hand returned to its scabbard at her waist. Her high ponytail and white, form-fitting clothes accentuated her heroic bearing.
"Yes, in Xigu Kingdom someone once saw the Queen's figure, only she was accompanied by two children. Later, when they went to look for her, they couldn't find her trace."
"Western Ancient Country, isn't that your mother's clan"
"Hurry and pack, I'm going to Xigu Country."
Su Yue hurriedly stopped her, "Princess, I also heard that the eldest son of the Lu family has arrived in the capital. Would you like to meet him first"
"He's here"
After Feng Lingxi disappeared, the Lu family searched everywhere for her whereabouts. Although they didn't find her, they never gave up in these five years, and every year they would come to the capital once to see Wan'er. Wan'er was still very friendly to Lu Nian, although she had never called him "brother-in-law," but Lu Nian's treatment was the best among those who could get close to Wan'er.
"My lady, I think you should see him and ask if he knows anything about the whereabouts of his wife."
"Where is he now, let's go find him."
As Wan'er was about to walk out, she saw a figure approaching. Upon seeing the person, Wan'er's face darkened immediately. She ignored the other person and tried to walk past them, but was grabbed by the arm.
"Where are you going"
"You don't care."
Wǎn'er pulled away his hand, not even glancing at him, and coldly warned, "This is my place. You are not allowed to come here again."
"Your mother has news. I'm here to tell you."
Five years have passed. Although they haven't changed Dugu City's handsome and youthful face, a streak of white hair has permanently settled in his locks. He shouldered all the burdens alone, but Wan'er remains unaware of everything he sacrificed behind her back.
"I can find my mother even without you."
Wan'er quickly left, Su Yue hurriedly followed, leaving Dugu City alone on the spot.
This child is becoming more and more like Xi'er, but he regrets it more and more. Over these five years, he returned military power to Emperor Yuan Zhao and dismantled all his influence in court. He completely removed any excuse Emperor Yuan Zhao might have had to harm them. But in doing so, he lost Xi'er.
Five years have passed, and Xi'er has seemed to vanish into thin air. Until recently, Tianxiang Lou heard a rumor that a woman who looked very much like Feng Lingxi was seen near the border of Xigu Country. She was accompanied by a boy and a girl. Someone has been sent to confirm her identity and see if it is truly Xi'er.
News of Feng Lingxi's reappearance spread quickly, as if the world had Feng Lingxi again and there was something to gossip about.
With such a vast world, what does it mean for a woman to suddenly disappear for five years and reappear Everyone believes that Feng Lingxi's reappearance is for revenge. Just one woman wanting to get even with a prince of the imperial court... it's simply laughable.
Maybe someone else would not be so curious, but this person was Feng Lingxi. Everyone was curious and eager to know if Feng Lingxi had come out to seek revenge against Dugu City. After all, Feng Lingxi's sudden disappearance was common knowledge, and the Prince chose a new favorite in her place.
"Shopkeeper, please bring us all your signature dishes."
A sweet voice came, accompanied by a boy who was about the same height as the little girl. The two looked exactly alike, only male and female, with sweat on their faces, dressed in casual clothes, and very good-looking.
"Go see if your mother is alright."
The little boy urged, the girl glared at him unhappily, “Go on, you’re the only boy in our family. Who else would go”
"Feng Siqi, don't be too arrogant. I tell you, every day I do more than you. Now, let me go outside and have a look. Why aren't you willing"
"Feng Siyu, I'm arrogant, what, you don't agree"
Both siblings were furious, ready to fight. All the onlookers at the inn watched curiously at this pair of siblings, unable to help but feel sympathy for their mother. What a miserable life she must have, giving birth to such heartless children.rts will be for nothing.""This is not simple, bring someone, shoot arrows down towards the cliff."Dugu Xiu spoke harshly, holding a bow and arrow aimed at the cliff below. The other archers hurriedly...
