Chapter 290: Seizing Power 45

oesn't want to talk to me much. Maybe she'll talk to you.""This is natural, women understand each other better. Since I promised you, I will definitely do my best."Feng Lingxi put the scroll away, “I’...Dugu Cheng was still very surprised by Yao Wan'ying's transformation. He thought that Xi'er didn't expect her mother to have such an identity

No matter what, the Yao clan's affairs have now come to an end, and he can go find Xi'er.

Yao WanYing looked at Dugu Cheng's gloomy expression and asked, "Were you scared by me Didn't expect I would be so ruthless"

Dugu City looked at her, "My lady is exaggerating. I was just an accident. It's not right to say my lady is ruthless. Since she is the leader of the Yao clan, she naturally needs to have the courage to deal with internal betrayals. My lady did better than me, and I admire her."

Yao Wan-ying let out a soft sigh, "I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. Without removing Yao Qing, there will be endless future troubles. He must be held accountable for his actions."

"My lady, there is something I do not understand. Would you be willing to enlighten me"

Yao Wan-ying looked at him, “Please speak.”

"Why did Madam leave the Yao Clan in the first place and entrust its affairs to Yao Qing It has been over ten years since Madam left, wouldn't the Yao Clan members mind"

"This is the custom of the Yao tribe," Yao Wan Ying said with a smile, "The Yao tribe's rules don't specify where the Saint Master of the Yao tribe should be, but they must give birth to the next generation of heirs and return to the Yao tribe after giving birth, fulfilling her mission to advise the next generation. As for the whereabouts of the Saint Master of the Yao tribe, the tribe members cannot interfere."

"So that's how it is, no wonder Lady and General Feng stayed in the General's Mansion for over ten years after their marriage, the Yao Clan never came looking. There was such a reason all along."

As long as the secrets of the Yao clan can be kept secret, it doesn't matter where the Holy Lord is. Moreover, I have always been in contact with the Yao clan, and their people are spread all over the world, all for the purpose of guarding the Yao clan.

Dugu Cheng nodded in understanding. "So, the Yao clan has always been among the people of the world, just never revealing their identities." Perhaps even until her death, the Empress Dowager wouldn't understand where the Yao clan's secret lay, nor would she know that there were members of the Yao clan by her side all along, but she was simply unaware.

"Matters have come to a close, and I still need a few days to handle the Yao Clan's affairs. If you're not in a hurry, stay here and rest for a few days. In a few days, I'm going on a trip to the Aoshan Dynasty. You can come with me."

"Can we go find Xi'er"

When Dugu Cheng thought of the summer, he thought of the day he heard someone calling Xi'er in the market. His heart tightened, and he felt an urgent desire to see her.

"I'm going to visit the emperor of the Arah Summer dynasty. My agreement with him remains, and now that I've returned, it's time to keep it."

"My position requires me to accompany my wife, and it may be inappropriate."

Yao Wan Ying saw his troubled expression and smiled, "Come with me, no one will question your identity. This is a good opportunity to see if Xi'er is in the palace."

"Madam means that Xi'er might be in the palace"

"My people have no word from Xi'er. The only explanation I can offer now is that the person who rescued her might be someone from the palace, young and handsome, perhaps one of those royal relatives."

Upon hearing Yao Wan'ying's words, Dugu City thought back to how he had searched for Xi'er all day without finding her. He increasingly felt that what she said was highly possible. If Xi'er was truly saved by the imperial family and wanted to meet him, it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

"Madam, how many days will it take you to handle everything here"

"It'll take at least five days. I just got back, need to handle things first before I can go find Xier."

Du Gu Cheng and Ye Xi looked at each other, "If there's anything we can do, Madam, just ask."

"Follow me."

Yaowan Ying got up and walked out with Dugu City, Ye Xi hurriedly followed.

Ever since Xiao Li mentioned medicinal herbs that day and got a headache, she no longer talked to the Princess about them. Feng Ling Xi was unhappy about this and pulled Xiao Li, insisting she teach her how to distinguish medicinal herbs. Xiao Li couldn't resist the princess, so she only managed to explain a few types of herbs before Feng Ling Xi's headache returned, causing her to faint again.

When Huangfu Qingyun learned that Feng Lingxi fainted again after identifying the herbs, he directly asked Zhang Taiyi to stay at the Prince's Mansion to examine Feng Lingxi. However, the results of the examination were still the same, there was nothing wrong, it was still caused by stimulation.

"Xiao Li, we can't keep letting Xier be stimulated like this. This palace cannot bear to watch her faint repeatedly."

Xiao Li looked at the princess lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, and regretted it deeply.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taught the Queen to identify herbs. She used to be obsessed with them, and I fear that it might have triggered her fainting spell again."

"Try a different approach."

Huangfu Qingyun spoke, “Take her to the cliff where she fell. See if it can help her remember something.”

Xiao Li nodded, “This servant will prepare right away.”

Watching Xiaoli go, Huangfu Qingyun held Feng Lingxi's hand, looking at her pale lips with worry in his eyes. Was it really possible for him to stimulate Xiaoli like this and help her recover her memory

Dr. Zhang always said that she had no abnormalities after fainting, but with such frequent fainting spells, he was really uneasy.

"Xi'er, was what I did right or wrong"

Wind Lingxi rested for two days, and her body finally recovered. Looking at Huangfu Qingyun who had been guarding her, Wind Lingxi felt very apologetic.

"Your Highness, I promise, I will never study herbs again."

Feng Lingxi raised her hand and swore, afraid that Huangfu Qingyun would get angry, "Don't blame Xiaoli, okay It was I who asked her to teach me."

"Xier, don't you want to recover your memory"

Feng Lingxi's body stiffened slightly, she looked up at Huangfu Qingyun's worried eyes and nodded.

"Why recover your memory Isn't it better to forget"

"No, I want to know why I have amnesia, Your Highness. I don't want to know nothing."

Recently, she heard people saying that she had lost her memory and acted like a fool, not understanding anything. They said the Crown Prince was so good to her but she didn't appreciate it, claiming she wanted to use amnesia to climb up to the Crown Prince. There were many hurtful things they said, and she felt uncomfortable listening to them.

Xiao Li said that to recover her memory, she needed stimulation. That's why she found Xiao Li and asked her to teach her about medicinal herbs, hoping to stimulate her brain and see if it would help her regain her memories.

Seeing Feng Lingxi's sad expression in her eyes, Huangpu Qingyun reached out his hand to hold hers, but Feng Lingxi avoided his hand. This action made Huangpu Qingyun's expression stiffen slightly. He suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said, "I know you've lost your memory now and can't remember what happened in the past, but it doesn't matter. All that matters is you..."

"Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi interrupted him, "Everyone wants to know what happened to them in the past. I fell off a cliff and was saved by Your Highness, but I can't be with Your Highness recklessly just because I have amnesia."

"Who said you're unruly You're doing just fine now. Just think about the past whenever it comes to mind. If it doesn't work out, forget it. I won't force it."

Huangpu Qingyun hugged Feng Lingxi tightly. Hearing her words, his heart ached terribly. What mattered was not restoring her memories; he didn't want to see Xi'er unhappy. He wanted to see Xi'er's innocent and carefree smile, not the sadness on her face.ing in Linxi County would certainly be reported. After all, Linxi County borders the frontier, and new arrivals are strictly vetted.""My Lord, I shall go investigate this at once."Ye Xi hurriedly left...
