Chapter 899: Falling Frost Flowers

e couldn't see her poking her head out. It seemed she was still worried about what he might do to her, that he couldn't give her the sense of security she desired.Dugu City's eyes held a tinge of disa...Feng Lingxi looked at him, “Lord Lou, what do you want from me Are you here to appease me because of today’s events”

獨孤城's words that were about to be spoken went back down his throat. Looking at her like this, he felt a twinge in his heart.

He had to keep this a secret from Xier. It was unavoidable; only by doing so could he make the performance more convincing and believable.

But now, seeing Xi'er so sad, he regretted it.

"Are you okay"

Feng Lingxi looked at him for a long time before asking, "Lord of the House, you must know him well, and his affairs are also clear to you. If I say I'm fine, Lord of the House wouldn't believe me just by looking at my appearance."

"Sorry."

獨孤城's throat felt as if something was blocking it, and he opened his mouth with difficulty to apologize to Feng Lingxi.

"Why are you apologizing to me What have you done wrong"

Feng Lingxi faintly said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Why should the poster apologize"

"I..."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi gazing at the moonlit sky with a melancholic expression. The faint sadness in her eyes couldn't be concealed. Was she truly hurt by his words today

I'm going to go find him and settle the score.

Dugu Cheng turned around, and Feng Lingxi's voice came from behind him, "No need."

Body slightly stiff, Dugu City turned to look at her.

"Why, are you not angry"

"Anger can't change the fact that he forgot me and left me. You're looking for him, he probably doesn't even recognize you now Even if you killed him for me, what could it change He would still forget me."

Wind Ling Xi wryly smiled, unconsciously stroking her abdomen.

This gentle action caused Dugu City's body to tremble. His gaze fell on her abdomen. Could Xi'er be pregnant

Dugu City's mind buzzed. If he was really pregnant, why hadn't he heard a word

"In this world, no one lives or dies because of another. He lost his memory and forgot me, which doesn't mean I can't live without him." Feng Lingxi took a deep breath; she had to be strong for the child. She couldn't get angry or overthink things, as that wouldn't be good for the fetus.

獨孤城的心情格外沉重，袖下的雙拳緊緊地攥緊，看著風淩兮，“你……懷孕了？”

Just as she asked that, Feng Lingxi subconsciously found her hand resting on her abdomen. This involuntary movement exposed her pregnancy.

"Don't tell him, I need no pity."

Feng Lingxi admitted, Dugu City's heart was like being stabbed by a knife, the pain almost suffocating him.

Seeing the panic in Feng Lingxi's eyes, he nodded.

"Thank you."

Feng Lingxi let out a sigh of relief. "I'm fine. Before, thank you for taking care of me and helping me all this time, but I might have to leave here soon, and we may never see each other again."

"Go back to the Yao Clan"

Feng Lingxi responded, "I want to leave the capital."

Dugucheng looked at her and fell silent again.

The atmosphere between the two became heavy and oppressive, until a sound of opening doors broke the silence. Upon hearing the noise, Dugu Cheng vanished like a ghost.

"Lord, everything is ready."

Xiao Li spoke, Feng Ling Xi looked at the empty Tian Xiang Lou where the owner was nowhere to be seen, walked up to the table and sat down. "Xiao Li, go to sleep. I'll sleep after I finish this."

The Lord has retired, the servant is asleep.

Xiaoli insisted. She felt that the Princess didn't want her to stay and serve her, but she couldn't rest assured.

Feng Lingxi drank the soup and then rested.

In early pregnancy, it's common to feel sleepy. A gust of wind blew, and Feng Lingxi fell asleep again quickly.

A dark shadow entered the room from outside the window. It stood before Feng Lingxi's bed, looking at her sleeping form. It reached out its hand, but hesitated mid-air, unable to lower it.

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's face and smiled bitterly.

The greatest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when I stand before you and you don't recognize me.

In Xi'er's eyes, the owner of Tianxiang Building was sent by Dugu City to protect her, but she never knew that they were actually the same person.

And he, standing clearly before Xi'er, couldn't tell her that he was Dugu Cheng.

A figure flashed past the window, and Dugu City came to his senses and climbed out.

Don't ruin the plan, go back.

Luo Li looked at Du Gu Cheng, "Even if she wakes up and sees you now, she will only know that you are the owner of Tian Xiang Lou. It won't change the pain that Du Gu Cheng brought her."

"Why weren't you told of her pregnancy"

Dugu City looked at Luoli, his tone full of blame.

“I just found out, she was hiding this from me. If it wasn't for Ayuan telling me, I would have been like you.”

Dugu City clenched his fists, "Take good care of her for me. When this king has finished dealing with these matters, I will come for you."

"Her child is my student, rest assured."

Dugu Cheng's eyes were filled with reluctance, but he still replied. If he could trust anyone right now, it would be Luoli.

On the side of Huanyue, your mother concubine is there. I believe she wouldn't be able to succeed so quickly.

Luo Li looked at Du Gu Cheng and reminded him, "Don't get too involved. Feng Ling Xi is still very demanding of men."

Dugu Cheng understood the meaning behind his words. If he truly became intimate with Huan Yue and married her, Xi'er would probably never return to his side for the rest of her life. He was already on the edge of danger, constantly testing its limits.

This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Take her back to the Yao Clan, and give me six months."

"Enough"

Luo Li asked, “In half a year, she'll almost be giving birth.”

"I will go back to see her."

Luo Li nodded, “I will do my best.”

Having received Ye Li's assurance, Dugu Cheng reluctantly left the Yao Clan's main residence.

Inner Palace

Feng Lingxi being abandoned by her husband caused Taì Hòu Cen to have a severe headache. She sent people out, but none returned alive. When did the Yao clan become so powerful in the Dà Yuán Dynasty that they had so many eyes and ears She was completely unaware. Those who tried to find Feng Lingxi were all eliminated before they even saw her face.

The Yao Clan's treasure was not acquired as desired, and the tyrannical actions of Dugu Xiu caused her another headache. Coupled with the frost flower poison she had given to Dugu Su before, all these matters piled up together, leaving Empress Cen exhausted both mentally and physically.

Compared to Dugu Xiu, the thing he worried about most was his body. The imperial physicians had examined and prescribed him medicine, but there was no effect whatsoever. He was as good as useless, lacking normal abilities. With three thousand beauties in the harem, he could only look but not touch.

"Bring Dugu City to me, I want to see Feng Lingxi."

Dugu Xiu roared, Dugu Cheng entered the palace and was summoned for this very matter.

"No matter what means you use, I demand that you bring Feng Ling Xi before me. Otherwise, you will face my wrath."

Dugu Cheng said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have already divorced my wife, and I do not know her whereabouts."

Dugu Xiu roared, slamming his fist on the table, "Who allowed you to divorce her I remember the late emperor saying that unless she agrees, you can never divorce her in your lifetime."

Du Gu Cheng wore a serious expression. "Your Majesty, I wrote her a letter and she agreed."

"I refuse."

Dugu Xiu looked at Dugu Cheng, "If you dare to divorce her, I will immediately have your woman who hasn't passed the door executed."rassed, it made him feel itchy."Get up and go back right now, or don't come here again."Wind Lingxi felt uneasy. Looking at Dugu City's gaze, she felt a pang of guilt. It made her appear as if she had...
