Chapter 571 Conspiracy 58

"He wouldn't let me go out, saying it was dangerous.Feng Lingxi shook her head without looking up and flatly refused."Why don't we just have the Fourth Prince send someone to protect us Besides, we're...Feng Aotien’s expression couldn't hold anymore. Feng Lingxi had said so much, if he were still speaking for the Zhao family, Yi Xuan's illness, she was afraid she would give up again.

"Your father will tell the Empress Dowager about this, Xi'er. Rest assured, she will handle it properly."

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "Then it's settled. Whether Yi Xuan can stand again depends on his father."

Feng Aotien's face was even more unbearable. Feng Lingxi's blatant words enraged him, but he could only endure it, constantly telling himself that no matter what Feng Lingxi said, he had to bear it. Only then could Yi Xuan stand up again.

"Only he knows that."

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly at Feng Aotian, "It's almost lunchtime, Father. Stay for a meal before heading back. You've been traveling for so long, you must be tired."

"No hard work, no hard work."

Feng Aotien hurriedly waved his hand and quickly said, "There's still something going on at the mansion, so I won't stay for a meal. I entrust Yi Xuan to you, and I rest assured."

"How can that be done, we still need to eat while preparing the meal, Xiaoli, go get ready."

Xiaoli responded and Feng Lingxi brought Feng Aotiantian into the manor to admire the scenery. However, Feng Aotiantian had no heart for it, his heart pounding nervously inside.

"Dad, have you been very busy lately"

"That's okay."

Feng Aotiān's forehead began to bead with sweat. This Feng Lingxi had left him to eat as a ruse, her true purpose was to extract information from him.

Feng Lingxi beckoned him to sit down in the pavilion. The servants brought tea, and Feng Lingxi poured it for him. Feng Aotian looked at her serious expression and asked, "Xier, have you heard any news about your mother Has she said anything about returning home for the New Year this year"

Has Dad heard from Mom

Feng Lingxi countered, noticing Feng Aotiān's changing expression. She handed him a cup of tea and said, "I don't have news about mother. Father should understand that mother is the Holy Lord of the Yao clan and naturally busy. Moreover, this time she went back to deal with internal affairs within the Yao clan, she inevitably had to keep it secret. It's normal not to hear from her."

"But aren't you the Yao Clan's Saintess Don't you have any news about her"

When Feng Aotiān asked this question, he was a bit anxious. Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes flickered, she held the teacup and took a light sip, “No.”

"Could you ask her if she'll be coming back for the New Year"

"Dad seems very worried that Mom won't come back for the New Year."

Feng Lingxi slightly raised her beautiful eyes, a smile playing on the corner of her lips, which seemed both like and unlike a smile. Feng Aotien hurriedly took a sip of tea, but he still couldn't escape Feng Lingxi's gaze. In her eyes, Feng Lingxi saw his flustered expression.

"I haven't told her about this yet. I'm worried she won't be happy, but I also want her to come home for the New Year. I owe you and your family, and I want to make amends."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so it's not a big deal to miss this one."

Feng Lingxi said slowly, a smile deepening at the corner of her lips. Feng Aotian held his tea and took two sips, the complex expression in his eyes becoming even more obvious, with a hint of panic and unease.

"Xier, where is the Fourth Prince"

Feng Aotian started to look for topics again, and Feng Lingxi sat beside him. He felt that even though it was snowing outside, she didn't seem cold at all. He just wanted to find a topic so he could feel more at ease.

He's busy and will be back in the evening.

"This Fourth Prince hasn't returned to the capital for some time now, all of you are staying here"

Feng Lingxi picked up a piece of plum cake and handed it to Feng Aotiān. Seeing him take it, she said, "Crown Prince Huāfǔ was stabbed and injured, so we came here to stay for a while. After all, he saved my life."

"But didn't Crown Prince Huangfu also once offer you as a dowry to the Empress Dowager Xi'er, you wouldn't..."

Before Feng Aotian could finish his words, he met Feng Lingxi's sharp gaze and hurriedly said, "Father means, you don't have any hatred for him"

"One should repay a drop of water with a spring. Let alone wanting to send me into the palace as a dowry, that has nothing to do with him."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Feng Aotiān's eyes to tighten abruptly. He subconsciously glanced around, "Is that Crown Prince Huángfu recuperating here"

"Does Father want to see him"

Feng Lingxi finished her question and, without waiting for Feng Aotian's reply, said, "Father, it's best if you pretend you don't know."

Feng Aotian stared stiffly at Feng Lingxi, "Father understands, it's just that he cares about you, asking."

"Father cares about his own well-being, the Empress, and Lord Gui Fei enough already. Here, Father's concern is excessive, I fear it will cause jealousy in both the Empress and Lord Gui Fei."

Wind Ling Xi's words implied something, causing Wind Ao Tian's expression to stiffen. He explained, "The Empress and Rong貴妃 specifically instructed Father to take good care of you, saying that he should make amends for the past."

"The Empress and Noble Consort Long are truly kind. Father will thank them on my behalf."

Feng Aotian's smile was stiff, giving nothing away about her emotions.

The atmosphere became heavy again. Feng Lingxi was really good at killing the conversation, and Feng Aotien wanted to find a topic, but she always ended it with her words.

"Xier."

A figure appeared in Feng Aotian's eyes. Looking at the person who came, Feng Aotian hurriedly got up and bowed to the person, "I have seen the Fourth Prince."

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Aotian appear and nodded, "General Feng is here."

Feng Aotien hurriedly accompanied a smile and said, "I have sent my son here. In the future, I hope that the Fourth Prince will discipline him more."

"I'm not qualified to discipline, I only do what I should."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "It's so cold outside, why don't you go to the front hall"

"I don't feel cold, it hasn't snowed today."

"Today, it's going to rain again soon. Let's go to the front hall for some warmth."

Dugu Cheng looked at her thin clothes, his eyes full of pity.

Maybe I should have worn more clothes.

"Not cold."

Feng Lingxi held Dugu Cheng's arm, "Why did you come back at noon Didn't you say you were coming back in the evening"

Dugu City looked at Feng Aotian, "This king heard that General Feng had arrived, so I came back to have a look."

Feng Aotien's face changed slightly. He came back himself, was he afraid he would do something to Feng Lingxi

"I had a nice chat with my father. Since I'm back, let's have a meal together."

Dugu Cheng responded with a nod, gesturing to Feng Aotian with a welcoming hand. Feng Aotian followed him into the dining hall where the meal was already laid out. He sat down, and Huangfu Qingyun also arrived. Upon seeing Feng Aotian, she greeted him, which made Feng Aotian even more uneasy.

"Xier, why doesn't this Crown Prince Huafu stay at the relay station It's not safe here," Feng Aotien said. Looking at the three of them staring at him, he quickly explained, "What I mean is, since someone tried to assassinate us here, it would be safer at the relay station. At least no one would dare to assassinate us there."

"Thank you for your concern, General Feng. This palace simply finds it more comfortable to reside here."

Huangfu Qingyun explained, Feng Aotien readily agreed, "As His Royal Highness Prince Huangfu said, I didn't say anything."

"General Feng, since I entered the palace these days, I've heard a thing and wonder if General Feng could enlighten me"

"Your Majesty, please ask. I will answer what I know."

Dugu Cheng pondered for a moment, "I heard that recently, the Consort Long has been returning to General Feng's residence for several days. The Emperor is very unhappy about this, but Consort Long insists on staying at the residence. I wonder if General Feng could tell us"
