i walked over and looked at Doctor Zhang, her gaze falling on the medicinal herbs behind him. She walked over and examined them carefully. They were indeed the herbs being prepared for the Emperor."Is...Hearing what Dugu Yu said, Feng Aotien almost choked on his anger.
The venerable Grand Duke of the Yuan Dynasty ended up living off handouts Isn't that something people would laugh at
"Third King, how did you know that the Fourth King would shelter you"
"Why won't you take me in Didn't you say that once I came here, I couldn't leave"
"But..." Feng Aotiān was stunned by Dugu Yu's words. What did this Dugu Yu mean by coming here He didn't understand. If this was truly a betrayal, wanting to switch sides to Dugu Cheng, then he wasn't his ally.
Dugu Yu glanced at Feng Aotian, his body sliding down from the chair to find a comfortable position. "General Zhen Guo, this time when I came here, I heard them say that you rebelled here and followed the Fourth Prince. Are you planning to rebel"
Feng Aotian's face changed drastically, he hurriedly explained, "This subordinate swears to heaven, this is absolutely not true. I don't know which words the Third Prince heard from whom"
"Who"
Dugu Yu sat up, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Who do you think said that, Wind General"
"I am unaware."
Feng Aotian's heart was uneasy. This visit from Dugu Yu was unfathomable in purpose. Moreover, with his probing tone, it was unclear whether he belonged to the Dugu family, the Emperor, or King Su.
"This king knows you know, but are unwilling to say. How come Afraid of offending them"
"I dare not, because I truly don't know."
Dugu Yu yawned, "It's pointless to tell you this. The General of the Nation always puts the court first, who would dare to guess the emperor's intentions"
Feng Aotian dared not speak. This Dugu Yu was right, even if he guessed it was the Emperor, he wouldn't dare to say it. He couldn't even mention the King of Su. These were all people he couldn't afford to offend. The honor of General's Mansion was something he couldn't risk losing with any one of them.
"Go and inform the Four Kings that this King wishes to see him, and inquire if he could arrange for this King to taste the roasted lamb from the Pasture here. I hear it's quite delicious, and the mare's milk wine is also legendary."
"This is the first time I've had this here, and, well...I don't think I'm leaving this inn anytime soon."
Feng Aotian felt his face burning hot as he said these words, a stinging pain as if someone had slapped him.
This treatment of Dugu City was really beneath his status, but he had no choice right now.
"You mention that, Your Majesty, and it comes to me now, you're under house arrest here."
Dugu Yu got up and walked to the door, looking at the guards outside. "Tell the Fourth Prince that this king wants to see him and ask him to make time for a meeting."
The guards withdrew at his command. He had clearly shown his face.
Feng Aotiān's face, which was already painful, ached even more. He asked his guards to relay a message, but no one paid him any attention. This contrast made the pain more unbearable. It was clear that Dugu City still had some fraternal affection for Dugu Yu. If the two of them joined forces...
Feng Aoti's eyes flashed with a cold light. He had to find a way to remind the court, lest they join forces against the court.
Duke Gu Yu glanced at Feng Aotien, lazily returning to his seat, "General Zhen Guo, this king heard that your third daughter, Feng Yuxi, is still alive to this day. And rumors have it that after transferring from the former empress in the harem, she became the current emperor's Moon Fei imperial concubine. After the fire, she is now General Feng’s daughter again. I wonder if this news is true"
"That's not true."
Feng Aotien hastily said, "Third Prince, please don't believe the rumors outside, they are all false."
"This king thinks the same way, these are clearly several faces, how could they belong to one person."
This is the end of the paragraph.
Feng Aotien secretly wiped a cold sweat. He didn't know what Dugu Yu meant by this, and he had to deal with it carefully.
"Come have some tea."
Dugu Yu watched as someone offered tea and greeted Feng Aotian. This manner was very much like his own manor, so relaxed and comfortable.
Feng Aotian was uneasy, this Dugou Yu's performance today was really unsettling him.
Upon receiving the notice, Dugu Cheng brought Feng Lingxi to the inn. Although he didn't know why Dugu Yu had summoned them, meeting him was inevitable since he had arrived.
"The Third King, the Fourth King, and the Fourth Queen have arrived."
Dugu Yu heard someone coming and stood up to see Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi walking in. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, but these two seemed even more casual than before.
"Third King."
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Aotiān beside him, "General Feng, do as you please."
Feng Aotiān sat back in his seat, looking at the three of them, feeling a little lost.
"Fourth brother, you're living the good life here, aren't you Plenty of oil and water, you seem to be doing very well."
獨孤宇 looked up and down, his voice full of praise.
Dugu Cheng wasn't angry. Instead, Dugu Yu's words made him feel that life in this place had been fulfilling these past few days.
"Barren, perhaps, but much more down-to-earth."
獨孤城握著風淩兮的手，“隻是苦了兮兒，讓她跟著本王受苦。” 獨孤城 gripped Feng Lingxi's hand, "It's just that you've suffered, Xi'er, for following this king and enduring hardship."
Feng Lingxi smiled in return, looking at the envy in Duguyu's eyes. "Third Prince, did you come here with your Third Princess this time"
"She... is gone."
The smile on Dugu Yu's face instantly disappeared, and his mood became depressed. Feng Lingxi was very shocked. This third princess had died, and she hadn't received any news.
When did this happen
It was just a few days ago, seriously ill for a long time, and then he passed away.
Dugu Yu sighed, "It's all my fault. She hasn't had a good day since she followed me."
"I'm so sorry, Your Royal Highness. Please accept my condolences."
Feng Lingxi apologized, this Dugu Yu although somewhat bad, but his feelings for the Third Princess she had witnessed with her own eyes. The Third Princess's death must have been a great blow to him, perhaps that is why he came here this time, also related to this matter.
"Let's not dwell on the past," said Dugu Yu, waving his hand. "It's all gone."
Feng Lingxi nodded, seeing the tears glistening in Dugu Yu's eyes, her heart was complex.
"This time, the Three Kings came here also by imperial decree"
Feng Lingxi asked the purpose of his trip. Dugou Yu raised his eyes and looked at her, "If this king came here to see the fourth brother, would you believe it"
Feng Lingxi really couldn't believe it. This Dugu Yu had lost his beloved wife, and it was very possible that he came here to find Dugu Cheng. Perhaps this time his purpose was still the same as before, wanting to team up with Dugu Cheng to deal with Dugu Xiu or Dugu Su.
Whether it's any of them, Feng Lingxi doesn't want to get involved. At least, not for now.
The 500,000 troops in Dugu Cheng's hands have long been coveted by the imperial court. If he joins forces with Dugu Yu, the court will definitely strike at Dugu Cheng directly on charges of treason. Dugu Xiu's poisoning hasn't broken out yet, and there's still some time to wait.
"This king knew that the Fourth Royal Princess wouldn't believe it, and even this king himself doesn't believe that this king would come here to visit the Fourth Brother."
Dugu Yu let out a self-deprecating chuckle, "This king just wanted to find a place to vent, my heart is too suppressed. Where in this court could I vent As I strolled along, I ended up here."hed reading the letter, she gave it to Dugu City. “Feng Yuxi wants to kill me, so be more careful,” she said. “She also said that the people behind Feng Yuxi have disappeared in the capital, so be mor...
