Chapter 302: Seize Power 57

ng family’s rules, this is the seat for the eldest daughter. Sister, your place is over there.”----------------------------------------------------Feng Linglong's face flushed alternately red and whit...Seeing how concerned the Princess was about the Crown Prince, Xiao Li felt a little uncomfortable.

"Miss, His Royal Highness is of noble status. How could he possibly be in danger This is his territory. Who would dare to harm him"

"You're right."

Feng Lingxi mumbled a few words, "Maybe I'm overthinking things."

He's just going to have a look, nothing will happen. Just wait for him to come back with peace of mind.

Dugu Cheng comforted, "Although both Huangfu Qingyun and I like Xier, I've investigated him. He is an upright person and not as manipulative as his brother. He's a good friend to have."

Feng Lingxi nodded, with the mention of Dugu City, she felt reassured.

"How much longer until dinner I'm getting hungry."

Feng Lingxi touched her stomach, "I haven't eaten anything today."

Now that her stomach was growling, she felt drained of energy.

"Dinner is still two hours away. If you're hungry, I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare something for you."

Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up. "Can I"

Looking at her covetous eyes like a famished cat, Dugu City's smile grew even more doting. "Of course it's possible, after all, I am the honored guest this time, taking some food is no problem."

Feng Lingxi hurried to her feet, "Then let's go quickly, I'm so hungry, I'm starving to death."

Dugu Cheng looked at her current appearance and quickly followed up, asking the palace maid where to go after the Imperial Dining Room. Dugu Cheng just went in and said a few words to the eunuch of the Imperial Dining Room, then came out carrying a plate of pastries. Feng Lingxi eagerly reached out to take it, and generously praised Dugu Cheng, "You're amazing."

"Go over there to eat."

Wind Ling Xi responded and went to the pavilion nearby, sitting down and eating with great enjoyment.

Dugu Cheng sat there, looking at her current appearance, feeling heartache but also contentment in his heart.

She is well, and he is well. Although she has lost her previous memories, she seems happier than before now.

"My Lord."

Xiao Li whispered a plea, and Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi eating happily. He said to her, “Xiao Li has something to tell me, you eat first, I’ll be back soon.”

Wind Lingxi looked at Xiao Li and him, her eyes were confused, she nodded slightly, only then did Dugu City go over.

"What's the matter"

"Suddenly, I remembered that Li the Guard had just gone to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that he found those Yao Clan rebels we met at the tavern a couple of days ago"

"Do you want to tell the mistress"

Xiao Li nodded, “This servant saw Madam just now but never had the opportunity to speak with her. There are many things that need to be reported to Madam, I hope Wang Ye will help and allow this servant to see Madam.”

"Later, this king will tell his wife. For now, you stay by Xi'er's side and follow her every step. Don't let anything happen to her."

He can't afford to lose Xi'er again. The only problem is that he and Xi'er haven't confessed their marital relationship yet, so they can't live together. What's more, there's still Huangfu Qingyun here, making things even harder.

"Even if this slave sacrifices my life, I will protect the Princess's safety and ensure that what happened last time never occurs again."

獨孤城 nodded, glancing at Xi'er who was happily eating. "Why doesn't she get a headache when I tell her about things from the past"

Xiao Li shook her head. “I don’t know either. In the past, whenever I said something, the Crown Princess would get a terrible headache. Today, however, she seems fine. Perhaps it’s because of the King's presence.”

Dugu Cheng's eyes showed worry, "The imperial physician checked Xi'er, and there was really nothing wrong"

The cliff is so high, falling down like that, he must have hit his head and lost his memory. Saying he's fine, he doesn't trust it.

The imperial physician invited by His Royal Highness to examine the Crown Princess several times did indeed say she was fine.

Dugu Cheng frowned, "If it's really nothing, this king would feel at ease. But what if we don't find out After all, falling from such a high cliff..." He paused, unable to voice his worries.

"Your Highness is afraid that the Madam wouldn't have noticed anything amiss"

Xiaoli carefully recalled the princess's condition, "Currently, this servant truly hasn't discovered anything amiss. My lord, please rest assured, this servant will observe more closely. If anything is wrong, this servant will immediately report to my lord."

Dugu Cheng nodded. "Night Xi is also here. You send him out of the palace and let him investigate the Yao Clan rebels, Yao Feifei, and several accomplices. Since they have arrived in Chaodu, they will surely appear. Let him investigate. He might be faster than Huangpu Qingyun's side."

"Alright, this servant will go now. Please take care of the princess, Your Highness."

Xiao Li reminded, then hurried away.

Dugu Cheng returned to Feng Lingxi's side and sat down, looking at the three pastries in front of her. He smiled and asked, "Are you full"

"Here's some food for you."

"Have you eaten"

Feng Lingxi shook her head. She had eaten three, how could she possibly be full.

Du Gu Cheng held the pastry and offered it to her, "I'm not hungry, have this."

"It's still two hours until we eat. You'll be hungry if you don't eat something."

Dugu Cheng looked at her concerned eyes, holding the pastry and said, "When I was fighting before, I didn't eat anything for several days and it was fine."

"It's been days since you last ate, hasn't it"

Feng Ling Xi took a bite of the pastry and looked at Dugu Cheng, asking, "Aren't you hungry"

“Even if we were starving, it was a blessing to be alive on the battlefield. There were countless soldiers like me who endured hunger. I remember in my eighteenth year, during a battle, my fellow soldiers and I were trapped for three days, waiting for rescue supplies. We endured those three days without eating.”

"What are you going to do if you're hungry"

"Just bear with it."

Dugu City looked at the pity in her eyes, "So many soldiers have to endure hunger together. If you can't hold on, you have to keep going. Who made me the marshal If I fall, they will collapse even more."

"So you, who look like a prince, have suffered this much too"

Dugu City smiled, "It's all in the past. After that, I swore that during wartime, I would never let the soldiers go hungry."

"Did you do it then"

Feng Lingxi rested her chin in her hands, watching him. She felt heartbroken listening to the story he told.

"At the very least, make sure that even during the hardest times, you can have one meal a day."

"Dugu City, you're amazing."

Feng Lingxi looked at him with admiration, "It seems you are a very caring marshal."

Dugu Cheng reached out and gently tapped her nose, looking at her adoring expression, he smiled even more indulgently.

"Would you be willing to let me take care of you"

"Me"

Feng Lingxi pointed at herself, "I'm fine, aren't I Why do you have to take care of me"

Dugu Cheng shook his head, forgetting her amnesia, he probably couldn't understand what he said.

It doesn't matter, feelings are cultivated over time, sooner or later they will fall in love. She will follow her heart and fall for him. He can wait.

Huangfu Qingyun, after finishing his business, searched the Imperial Garden for a while and finally found them. However, he saw the two of them chatting happily under the pavilion. His footsteps stopped abruptly, and he didn't even want to disturb them. Since he saved Xi'er, he had never seen her look at anyone with such eyes before.

Is it that Xi'er loves Dugu City deeply, or is it that he is too incompetent and unable to win her heart, making her fall in love with himnd the Yao clan.Fortunately, the weather is good today and most of the snow on the ground has melted.
