Chapter 666: Yao's Turmoil 36
n front of Empress Shu, she only cries when she wants to see the prince. The moon knows her own lowly status and is unworthy of the prince. Neither Empress Shu nor the prince need to make things diff...Du Gucheng raised his cup and drank in one gulp, smiling at Feng Yumo, "Clan Head, if you don't mind, you can also take Yumo as your younger brother. I believe Xi'er would agree."
Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at Luo Li's smile on her face, and refused.
"Yu Mo is willing to acknowledge you as his older brother."
It's impossible to expect the treatment of a younger brother, she wouldn't agree.
"How dare you steal someone from the Fourth Princess"
Dugu Cheng smiled and patted Feng Yu Mo's shoulder, "Your sister."
"What's wrong with your sister"
Feng Yu Mo was nervous and hurriedly reached out to fumble. Feng Ling Xi glared at Du Gu Cheng angrily, "Don't scare him."
"It's fine."
Feng Ling Xi patted Pao Pao Feng Yu Mo's hand back, but just that instant the atmosphere wasn't as relaxed as before. Luo Li could feel Feng Ling Xi's attitude change so quickly, it was like she returned to the expression she had after her miscarriage in the Yao Clan. In that moment, he was genuinely taken aback by her reaction.
Dugu Cheng also didn't expect that with just a casual remark, Xi'er's reaction would be so big. For a moment, he actually felt strange.
"Little Li, you should go eat too, don't just stand there."
Feng Lingxi instructed, "I have something else to do later."
Xiao Li responded and took Fourteen and Fifteen to eat. Dugu City discovered that this time Xi'er returned, not only had Xi'er changed, but even Xiao Li seemed like a different person. It seemed he should ask Luoli what happened during this time.
Xi'er's change frightened him, one second of tenderness, the next falling into an ice cellar.
After the meal, although Feng Lingxi had a smile on her face, besides when she spoke to Feng Yumiao, her tone was gentle. To others, it was obvious that she was deliberately maintaining the smile on her face.
Such a change altered the atmosphere at the table, yet no one dared to speak.
After the meal, Feng Lingxi asked Luoli to help check Feng Yumo's eyes. Luoli examined them carefully and agreed with her assessment: Feng Yumo's eyes were inflamed, likely due to the blindfold. The prescriptions for the medicinal ointment used by both of them were identical. As for other reasons, Luoli had not discovered any.
Feng Ling Xi explained to Luo Li about her wind feather ink's head wound and scratched eye corner. Luo Li also seriously checked it over, but both Feng Ling Xi and Luo Li agreed that they were unsure if those two areas were truly the problem.
Dugu Cheng watched as Xi'er and Luoli discussed Feng Yumo's eyes, their expressions complex.
"Does Your Highness feel that Xi'er's attitude towards you has changed this time she's returned"
Huangfu Qingyun didn't know when he arrived beside Dugu City. Looking at Feng Lingxi who was earnestly checking Feng Yumo's eyes inside, his eyes were full of worry.
"It's not just your attitude towards me that has changed, is it You've changed too."
Although Xier tried her best to maintain composure, he could sense a significant change in her. She was putting in great effort to keep up appearances, but the hidden anxieties and her unconcealable coldness worried him deeply.
"I don't care what happens to me, I just worry about her."
Huangfu Qingyun stared at Feng Lingxi with worried eyes, "Does Your Highness also realize that this time Xi'er has returned, she hides her thoughts too deeply. Luo Li definitely knows, and everyone around Xi'er knows. Perhaps only we don't know. What she wants to hide from is probably just us."
Dugu Cheng already knew all of this. Now that Huangfu Qingyun said it aloud, his heart ached even more.
He felt a barrier had formed between himself and Xi'er.
"If you have time, why not talk to Xi'er If you're busy, I can ask for you."
"Huangfu Qingyun looked at Dugucheng and added, “If you trust me, I can help you ask.”
"When it comes to matters of the heart, this king has always been quite insecure, you know."
Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow and sighed, "No matter what happened to Xi'er, this king only hopes she is well. More importantly, I hope she will tell me herself." instead of him forcing her.
Huangpu Qingyun hummed in response and withdrew his gaze.
"Just wait for her to make the first move."
Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Feng Lingxi and said to Dugu City, "She found me this time, and I believe she'll see me again. I won't disturb you for now, I'll go back to rest first."
Dugu Cheng sent Huangpu Qingyun out, his eyes swept over Feng Lingxi who was talking to Luoli, his expression even more complicated.
"Xiao Mi, you take Yu Mo back first. I'll discuss with the chieftain for a while. We'll change Yu Mo's dressing tomorrow."
Feng Ling Xi applied medicine to Feng Yu Mo's wounds, watching the forced smile on his face. She felt heartache but suppressed her emotions, not letting Feng Yu Mo feel her emotional fluctuations.
She was afraid that if Yu Mo knew, he would give up treatment. She was even more afraid that he would feel inferior and withdraw.
Tian Xiaomi helped Feng Yu Mo get up, greeted him briefly, and then Feng Yu Mo went out with Tian Xiaomi.
"Brother-in-law."
Feng Yu Mo heard the footsteps beside him and politely called out, "Dugu Cheng responded with a sound, looking at the smile on his face. "Yu Mo, what did Xi'er say"
"My sister said she needs some time, but she should be able to figure it out."
Feng Yu's smile on his face was still gentle, Dugu City nodded, "You go back first and get some rest."
"Brother-in-law."
Feng Yu Mo called out to Dugu Cheng, hearing his response, she whispered, "Sister, it seems like you've changed a lot this time you came back. That tribal leader seems to be very good to you. Brother-in-law should pay more attention and care for your sister so as not to be interfered with by others."
"Your Majesty knows, you take good care of yourself. As for Xi'er, this king will handle it."
Feng Yu Mo nodded, letting Tian Xiao Mi support him back.
"Brother Yumo, why didn't you tell the King that your sister has something on her mind I see that the King doesn't even know how many rivals he has around him."
"Are you saying that it was Prince Huangfu and the chieftain"
Tian Xiaomi nodded, saying seriously, “They both clearly like your sister. Their eyes don't lie.”
Feng Yu Mo smiled, "Xiao Mi, you're still young, you don't understand."
Tian Xiaomǐ glanced at Feng Yǔmò and muttered, "Is she small"
In her eyes, Feng Yu Mo was still a little kid. He just didn't understand.
Then, between Huangfu Qingyun and Luoli, which one didn't have feelings for Feng Lingxi That blatant look in their eyes, I really don't know if Dugu City is truly unaware or pretending not to see. "Why don't you go back to rest first"
"It took so long for you to come back, how could I possibly let you sleep"
Dugu Cheng grabbed her hand, the icy temperature made Dugu Cheng frown, "How come it's so cold"
"The weather is too cold, it'll be better soon."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Let's go back and talk."
Dugu Cheng glanced at the direction Luoli left, "Can Luoli do it"
Feng Ling xi shook her head, worry in her eyes. "This is the first time he's encountered such a situation. He will help figure out a solution when he goes back tomorrow. We can only take it slow."
"Why don't you stay and spend the New Year here before you leave"
"No need."
Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gucheng, "He has things to attend to, no need to keep him."lled down her face mask and hurriedly adjusted her state."Sir Liu, quickly get some lime powder. I need to bury this place deep and handle it properly."Mr. Liu responded immediately and hurried off to...
