hand Yao Feifei over to you.""I only want Yao Feifei. As for the rest, I don't care."Dugu City nodded, "This time, thank you for your help. This king thanks you on behalf of Xi'er. However, if you wa...獨孤城 coughed again, Feng Siqi patted his back, "My mother is actually very easy to talk to. You can tell her what you have to say clearly. If not, you can tell me, and I will tell my mother. My mother loves me and will definitely listen to me."

Feng Siqi finished speaking, ignoring the astonished gazes of the crowd, and continued, “I did all this to cure diseases and save people. It has nothing to do with my mother. Big Uncle, you mustn't report me.”

Lu Nian came back to her senses and met Feng Siqi's warning gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.

This little guy went through so much trouble, just to figure out if the cause of Dugu City's illness was her mother

This is too scheming, isn't it

This is only a small matter, even he couldn't guard against her schemes.

“How could I possibly say, uh…uh-huh.”

Lu Nian smiled foolishly, her eyes looking at Dugu City, secretly unhappy in her heart.

Is this inherited from Xi'er's intelligence or her father's

Feng Siqi turned back to look at Dugu City, "Are you going to tell me or not Just say something."

"Didn't you promise to have dinner with this king After the meal, this king will tell you how white this hair is. As for your questions, we'll talk about them tomorrow."

Feng Siqi rolled her eyes, "You're such a bad person. Do you think I'm easy to bully You actually want to trick me I'm not that stupid."

Dugu Cheng thought about it seriously, “Tomorrow, I’ll have Ye Xi prepare a very special dish for you, one that you’ve probably never tasted before.”

"Impossible, my mother's cooking isn't just for show, what dish haven't I tasted"

"Well...never mind then."

Du Gucheng deliberately delayed, Feng Siqi's whole person was restless, and hurriedly said, "You tell me what it is, I haven't eaten before"

Lu Nian propped her forehead, she was a foodie, authentication complete.

This is it, still fighting with Dugu City. A child is just a child, give her a candy and she forgets her own purpose.

"You'll have to come tomorrow to find out, otherwise it wouldn't be any fun."

Feng Siqi pouted and glared at Du Gucheng, her face full of displeasure. "You're really not likable at all."

Dugu Cheng's smile appeared again at the corner of his lips, "She also said that to this king."

Lu Nian looked at the smile on Dugu City's face, and it seemed like she understood something.

No matter how mischievous Feng Siqi was, she was Dugu Cheng's daughter. How could he possibly be angry with his own daughter Even if she asked him about the things he was most reluctant to mention over the years, he could face them calmly.

"Then I'll go and tell my sister so she won't worry."

Lu Nian nodded towards Dugu Cheng and left first.

Feng Siqi walked to Dugu City's side and sat down, "Do you want to tell me first why you are like this It's not interesting to keep me in suspense."

"Aren't you the same way If I told you, and you didn't eat with me, wouldn't I be at a loss"

Dugu Cheng smiled faintly, Feng Siqi pouted dissatisfiedly.

“Such a big event as a meal, how could I possibly not eat it.”

"Wan'er, why aren't you speaking"

Dugu City looked at Wan'er, seeing her silence, his heart ached and he wanted to talk to her more.

"I don't have much to say."

Wan'er's voice was slightly cold. Looking at them talking so happily, Wan'er felt like a superfluous person. Over the years, the words she said to him were not as many as Siqi said to him.

Seeing Siqi laughing with such delight, her face beaming, Wan'er felt a complex mix of emotions. She had never seen him smile like this before. She remembered what the people from the Chen Wang Fu had said, that after his mother disappeared, he had never smiled again.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What are your plans for the future Have you thought about going back with your mother"

Du Gung Cheng suddenly asked, Wan'er looked at him in surprise, her face full of shock.

"What did you just say to me"

Wǎn'er thought she had misheard and wanted to hear it again.

"Father asks you, have you thought about it, when your mother leaves, are you going with her or staying in the palace"

Dugu Cheng said these words with a hint of sadness. He really wished they could all stay by his side, but he couldn't keep them.

He caused Xi'er too much pain, an injury that couldn't be erased from the past five years. All he could do was watch their little family of four live happily ever after. As for him, as long as they were well, he would be content.

"Are you really willing to let me follow my mother"

Wan'er couldn't believe her ears, repeating herself constantly. Seeing Dugu Cheng nod, she felt unreal.

"For the past five years, you've always wanted to be with your mother. I know that. Only she disappeared five years ago, and I couldn't find her either. I know these five years haven't been happy for you. Now that there's a chance to return to her side, you make the choice yourself. Father won't interfere."

Wan'er suppressed the excitement in her heart, but when she thought of the Empress Dowager, her excitement faded.

"The Empress Dowager wouldn't agree to that. If I went, the Empress Dowager would blame you."

"It's alright, you are this king's daughter, and I have the right to let you choose. I am the emperor's son, if she wants to punish me, I am willing to accept it. This king will handle it well."

Dugu Cheng knew well that if Xi'er really took Wan'er away, with all three children by her side, the pressure on her would be enormous. But Dugu Cheng was even clearer that behind Wan'er stood the Yao clan, the future of the Yao clan. Even if the Empress Dowager wanted to move against her, the Yao clan wouldn't allow it. Letting her follow Xi'er, if Wan'er protected her mother and daughter, the Empress Dowager shouldn't dare to go too far either.

“You said it yourself, don’t back out later.” Wan’er said hurriedly, her voice filled with joy. She could finally return to her mother’s side. Wan’er even pinched herself in excitement, overjoyed that this wasn’t a dream.

Dugu Cheng responded with a smile, watching Wan'er's overjoyed and flustered expression. His heart felt lightened as well.

Lu Nian looked over to Feng Lingxi's side, watching as Feng Wei Siyu sparred with her younger sister. Seeing her clumsy posture, his brows furrowed slightly. It was really quite an eyesore. How could this Yuan Xiu Divine Physician teach like this She wasn't even as skilled as Siyu.

"Mother, my uncle is here."

Feng Siyu's words had barely left his mouth when Lu Nian hadn't even had time to greet him before a dark weapon suddenly flew towards him. Lu Nian dodged sideways and swiftly caught it, looking at the silver needle in his hand. Although it only had five points of force, it was frighteningly sharp. If this were to hit someone with weaker martial arts skills, they would probably be injured.

"The weapon is good, but the force behind it is lacking."

Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes, her voice cold and sharp, "If I had used all my strength, you would have been six feet under by now."

Lu Nian let out a giggle and immediately changed her expression, walking up with a playful smile and sitting down beside Feng Lingxi's table.

"Sister said, 'Thank you, sister, for showing mercy. Otherwise, I would have been killed.'"

"Who let you look down on me"

Feng Lingxi's voice was tinged with displeasure. She wasn't fooled by Lu Nian's disdainful look just now. Her martial arts might not be anything special, but her weaponry was formidable. Even her master had said that her skills with hidden weapons surpassed his own.softly, Du Gucheng looked at Feng Cangkai, and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, the Empress's power in the court is not to be underestimated. Grandpa should still be careful with his words.""So, you do...
