Hou's eyes, her smile stirring something unsettling within me.Windling sneezed. It had been half a month since the Galo forces retreated, and every day she was researching how to make gunpowder, but..."Is that so"

Empress Cen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought.

"Mother, your son merely allowed Dugu Su to try. Whether he succeeds or not doesn't matter; what matters is that we can find out the truth."

"Alright, you go arrange it."

Dugu Xiu hurriedly replied, "This son will take his leave."

Having heard her mother say this, Dugu Xiu knew that in his mother’s heart, he was still more trustworthy than Dugu Su. After all, blood ties are blood ties; how could a son born of a concubine compare

That day after Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Luoli disappeared for several days, no one knew what she was busy with. Feng Lingxi asked Li Wuyan several times, but he said he hadn't seen her. For several days, Feng Lingxi was in a daze.

Three days after that incident, Feng Lingxi received a message from Li Wuyan, saying that Luoli had made arrangements for her to return to Yaozu. He also said that Huangpu Qingyun already knew about her divorce and was on his way. He would arrive in the next two days.

When Feng Lingxi mentioned Huangpu Qingyun, she thought of the words she had spoken to Huangpu Qingyun when she fell off the cliff. She never expected that they would actually come true now.

Du Gu Cheng didn't want her anymore, Huang Fu Qing Yun came to pick her up, she didn't know how she should face him.

The news of Huangpu Qingyun's arrival reached Dugu City's ears very quickly. Even though he knew this was part of their plan, the thought of sending Ya'er away and having to spend time with Huangpu Qingyun made his heart ache; he felt a deep sense of reluctance.

This night, Dugu City donned a mask and, as the owner of Tianxiang Building, came to visit Feng Lingxi again.

Feng Lingxi's habits remained unchanged. She was sleepy during the day and had a habit of getting up at night. With Feng Lingxi's desired food, Dugu Cheng waited for her in the courtyard. Feng Lingxi came smelling the aroma.

Beside the bonfire, Dugu City sat there, roasting meat on a rack and simmering fish soup. There were also lychees brought from elsewhere.

"Here I am."

Feng Lingxi walked to a short distance beside him and sat down, smelling the fragrance and feeling very good.

Dugu Cheng hummed softly, "I heard you're leaving the capital."

Feng Lingxi nodded, her eyes dropping slightly, forcing out a smile.

"Thanks for taking care of me this time and letting me eat so many things I wanted to."

"This is the fish soup and grilled meat you wanted, along with lychees. I was busy these past few days, but I hope you still like it."

Feng Ling felt a warmth spread through his chest. He truly took his words to heart, but this feeling, it could only be friendship.

Of course, thank you.

Dugu Cheng heard her words, the bitterness in his heart grew even stronger. This thank you might be sincere to Xi'er, but to him, this thank you was really ironic. What qualifications did he have for Xi'er to thank him

Seeing her pregnant now, knowing it yet unable to tell Xi'er, while Xi'er still thinks he has amnesia and doesn't know anything, this kind of torment, how hurtful it is.

"Actually, I..."

Dugu Cheng impulsively opened his mouth, meeting Feng Lingxi's gaze as he looked up at him, interrupting his words.

"Actually, I..."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi, “You speak first.”

Feng Lingxi nodded, “I want to say, you and Dugu Cheng are also acquainted. If one day he recovers his memory and regrets it, tell him that I don’t blame him. It's just fate playing a joke on us, making him not feel guilty and live a good life.”

"Don't you hate him"

>

Why wouldn't Xi'er hate him, at least letting him feel a little better.

"What's wrong with him having amnesia If you truly consider me a friend, please tell him to be careful of the woman named Huanyue around him. I'm afraid he'll be used without even realizing it. If I told him, he'd definitely think I'm jealous of Huanyue and saying this out of spite."

"Should I tell him about your pregnancy"

Dugu Cheng's voice trembled with suppressed emotion. Xi'er was still thinking of him even at this moment, he knew. Xi'er understood him, that's why she agreed to the divorce papers.

"No, he doesn't need to know. I don't want him to feel guilty about me."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "We've met before, I've always called you the host, and I don't even know your real name. But just like you said, you treat me as a friend. In the future, if you need anything from me, just speak up. I will repay your kindness."

No need to repay.

Du Gu Cheng's voice was already a little hard to control.

A slight tremor, desperately trying to suppress their emotions.

Behind the mask, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

He wanted to take off the mask and face Xi'er honestly, but he didn't dare.

Feng Lingxi nodded, facing him and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, mimicking the way people in the martial arts world would say goodbye. "Then we shall meet again if fate wills it."

"See you again."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at Dugu City handing her food, she didn't hesitate and ate it happily.

獨孤城就這樣盯著她看，麵具下的眼圈濕潤了，看著風淩兮這樣，除了心疼和隱忍的不捨，他已經不知道自己該怎麼形容自己的心情。

Feng Lingxi stayed with him for half an hour, then left.

Perhaps accustomed to this way of getting along, Feng Lingxi went back after she got tired, leaving Dugu City sitting alone in the courtyard, lost in thought for a while before leaving.

Huangfu Qingyun arrived soon after daybreak. It was Luoli who personally brought him in, doing an excellent job of keeping it a secret. They bypassed the ears and eyes of the Great Yuan Dynasty directly.

Feng Lingxi saw Feng. Huanghu Qingyun, covered in dust as he rushed over, hadn't been seen in months. Huanghu Qingyun was thinner than before, but his whole person was more rigid and had the force of a man.

"Xier, I'm here to pick you up."

Huangfu Qingyun saw Feng Lingxi, without saying a word, rushed forward and gave her a hug. Feng Lingxi didn't dodge, letting him hold her in his arms. All she could think about was his bloodshot eyes.

"Thank you, brother emperor."

Feng Ling Xi's shout of "elder brother" made Huang Fu Qing Yun stiffen, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

"We're not siblings, it's not appropriate to call me brother emperor. Just call me Qingyun."

But...

Feng Lingxi wanted to explain, but Huangpu Qingyun reached out and covered her mouth, his eyes full of heartache.

"Do you still remember what you told me back then I've been waiting, and now are you going to deny it"

Feng Lingxi's words that were about to reach her lips were swallowed back, and she averted her eyes.

"You came all this way, you must be tired. Go rest first. We'll talk when you're rested."

"Not tired, seeing you, all tiredness disappeared."

Huangfu Qingyun pulled her down to sit, looking at Feng Lingxi's slender frame, "Look at you now, you've become so thin."

Feng Lingxi pulled a smile, looking at Luo Li and Li Wu Yan beside her. They were both here, Huangpu Qingyun's words were too intimate, making her not know how to face him.

"Brother Huangpu, please rest for a while. When you've rested, I'll ask you to escort Xi'er away."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, “You are not allowed to say no, you must leave, this is my order.”

If we don't leave now, we're probably going to be unable to leave later.
