Feng Lingxi stood at the window, looking at Luo Li who was constantly pleasing to Wan’er, with her eyes drifting away.
“Xi’er, are you still feeling sad about what Luo Li said at supper?”
Dugu Cheng walked behind Feng Lingxi and put on her cloak, his tone full of concern.
“No, I’m just looking at Luo Li and Wan’er. Wan’er’s temperament is really like me when I first got married. She didn’t lose at all. However, Luo Li is really good to Wan’er. Seeing that he indulged Wan’er so much, I actually think about it. Do I have a bit extreme in his words?”
Dugu Cheng looked in the direction Feng Lingxi said, looking at Luo Li and Wan’er. In order to please Wan’er, Luo Li had no airs as a patriarch, and completely regarded Wan’er as his little princess.
“It’s really good, but no matter how good it is, it can’t be changed. He is the patriarch of the Yao tribe, and he wants to take Wan’er away.”
Speaking of this, Feng Lingxi took back his eyes and walked to the table to sit down.
“We still have time, don’t worry. This time the Empress Dowager celebrates her birthday, and this trip is not worth it. At least we know the Empress Dowager’s situation in the palace. The emperor treats her very well. Although the emperor covets your military power, at least he is still cautious and does not forcefully take away your military power.”
As long as they are given time, they can consolidate their strength well, at least they must not be influenced by the court.
Now the power of the court has been completely divided by the emperor and the king. In the palace, the empress dowager exchanged her freedom and happiness for Dugucheng and their stable life. She understands all these, and Dugucheng also understands them.
“The emperor did not take away military power this time, thanks to Concubine Yan and Concubine Liu who ruined his affairs. If you hadn’t been injured in the palace this time, the emperor would have already spoken away from the military power. In addition, King Yu’s recent arrogant actions and provoked the emperor, we could escape unscathed.”
Feng Lingxi nodded. She knew that it was not easy to leave the capital this time, so she treated the people’s comments about her along the way as if they were indifferent. This person’s words were terrifying, and she didn’t have to worry about it.
After all, after she came to this world, there were so many such things, not many more, not many more this time, not many more this time.
“Xi’er, you’ve been wronged.”
Dugucheng’s eyes were full of apology, but Feng Lingxi smiled and held Dugucheng’s hand.
“If you think I’m wronged, why do you feel depressed after returning from the palace? I think you are in a bad mood these days. Is it because something happened in the palace or the secret decree given to you by the emperor that makes you embarrassed?”
“I thought you wouldn’t ask about this. It seems that I can’t hide it from your eyes.”
Dugu Cheng sighed lightly, “It’s the Empress Dowager’s health that has something wrong. The Emperor summoned me to the palace and gave me a secret decree. He told me that the Empress Dowager was unwell and asked me to go and see, the Empress Dowager.I was unhappy with the imperial physician to take a look, so I asked her to take her pulse after repeated requests. “
“Is the Empress Dowager okay? Her health has always been good. “
No wonder Dugucheng is worried these days and the empress dowager is not feeling well. It would be strange if he feels good. “It’s nothing serious to get infected with the cold, but she doesn’t want to see the imperial physician, which makes me worried. “
“Then why don’t you tell me when you come back? So we can ask for an order to stay for two more days and wait until the empress dowager is better before leaving. You are worried every day, and it is not a solution. “
Feng Lingxi was extremely upset. She should have asked Dugucheng that day. If he asked, maybe he would say that, she would enter the palace to show the empress dowager. He would not know that he would meet again in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. If something happened to the empress dowager, Dugucheng would feel so uncomfortable.
Looking at Feng Lingxi’s anxious appearance, Dugucheng’s eyes were dark.
“I never wanted to stay for two more days. When the empress dowager’s health improved, he was leaving, but the emperor’s will has given the emperor’s will. If we refuse to leave the capital, we are afraid that the emperor will be too concerned. Besides, the empress dowager urged me to leave, I cannot let her down. “
Dugucheng breathed a lot of relief, and the helplessness in his eyes made Feng Lingxi feel distressed.
“If I stayed in the palace for this king, if I showed concern for her, the emperor would become even worse. Although she did not speak, I knew what she meant. She didn’t want me and her to show that they were too concerned. ”
