the Empress say to you"Feng Lingxi responded, “She asked me if I had seen the assassin’s appearance clearly. I told her truthfully.”"Why did she make you kneel down"Feng Lingxi thought of the Empress...Huangfu Qingyun let out a sigh, “She’s just a child.”

Feng Lingxi didn't think her way was wrong at all. Looking at Huangfu Qingyun, her expression was serious, "You also know that she's just a child, she hasn't even reached her first birthday, and she's already learned to treat me this way. If I give in to her this time, what if from now on, if I am even slightly displeased with her, she will turn against me"

When disciplining her children, she doesn't believe there's anything wrong with her way.

This Wan'er is spoiled rotten.

"This time she's already bowed her head, give her a chance wouldn't hurt."

If she really knew she was wrong, she would apologize to me herself.

Feng Ling's tone was firm. This Wan'er's personality truly baffled her; the child's intelligence shouldn't be at this level. No matter what, she absolutely wouldn't compromise.

"I heard from Ah Cheng that you're going back to Huang Xia Chao to get married, but is that really true"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Qingyun's body stiffened slightly as she looked at Feng Lingxi.

"Xi'er, do you want to stop me"

Feng Lingxi was stared at by Huangpu Qingyun for a long time before she finally said, "Do you still remember what I said to you after I recovered my memory when you saved me"

"Remember."

Huangfu Qingyun's face was slightly pale, clenching his fists.

"I know you have feelings for me, but we're destined not to be together, Qingyun. I still say the same thing, you deserve a better girl, but not one you don't like."

After taking a moment to compose herself, Feng Lingxi continued, "I know this might be difficult for you, but you should know that time heals all wounds, including feelings."

"Then will your feelings for Dugu City also fade with time"

Feng Lingxi thought seriously for a moment, "Yes, but this love will transform into another kind of inseparable family affection, thicker than water."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, for a long time without making a sound.

"Just like us, don't you also see me as your sister One day, you'll be able to let go completely and transform our relationship into that of siblings."

Huangfu Qingyun fell silent. He knew Feng Lingxi's words were reasonable, but he couldn't do it.

The longer time passed, the deeper his feelings for Xi'er became, ingrained in his very bones. Even though he tried his best to let go, even though he knew they had no chance, he found himself wanting to hold onto this emotion, to cultivate it, and have it merge with his body.

"Xier, I will try my best."

After a long silence, Huangfu Qingyun looked at her with unwavering eyes and said, "As you said, I will try to contact other women. Maybe one day, I can let go of this relationship and transform it into a genuine sibling bond."

Feng Ling Xi stepped forward and gave him a hug, Huang Fu Qing Yun raised his hand, but did not dare to hug her.

"Qingyun, I will always remember your kindness to me. I hope you find true happiness."

Huangfu Qingyun closed his eyes, the struggle in his heart was intense, his throat rolling, it took him a while before he spoke, "I will, Xi'er also deserves to be happy."

Feng Lingxi let go of him, and facing Huangfu Qingyun, she revealed a smile. “You will always be my elder brother, my lifelong friend, Feng Lingxi.”

If there ever comes a day when he needs her help, as long as she is able, she will help him.

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes became more determined. He would definitely remember her words, he would be happy, and he would find a woman who truly loved him and whom he also loved to marry.

To meet someone in this life is fate, to meet and know each other but not be able to stay together, all he can do is wish her well, hoping she will be happy.

When Huangfu Qingyun left, he didn't tell Feng Lingxi, but only left her a very long letter. It was written by him all night for Feng Lingxi, his every bit of emotion for her.

He knew that this separation meant he and Xi'er wouldn't see each other for a while, and this was also his way of saying goodbye to their relationship. He would let go of their feelings as Xi'er wished, and seriously look for someone who loved him and whom he loved to marry.

His father and mother have given him enough, and allowed him enough time. As the crown prince of the Arahxia Dynasty, he must shoulder his responsibilities.

Feng Lingxi received the thick letter left by Huangfu Qingyun. She read every word carefully, and after finishing it, she put the letter away, storing it well. She placed this pure affection in the deepest part of her heart.

She knew that what Huangpu Qingyun was doing was a farewell to their love. She also knew that he had once promised her that he would give her everything he wanted, but she had never given him anything in return.

She was very clear about her stance. She knew who she liked, who she loved, and who she wanted to be with.

She didn't want to play games, so she kept her romantic relationships clean and straightforward. She didn't want to use Huangfu Qingyun's feelings for her to get him to do things for her.

It was precisely because of this that Dugu City knew that the letter Huangpu Qingyun had left for Feng Lingxi, he didn't want to read it, nor did he inquire about it. Because he knew how Xi'er treated Huangpu Qingyun, he knew that Xi'er handled it very well.

When Huangfu Qingyun returned to the Chao Xia Dynasty, he broke off his engagement with Qiao Shuyue. Although the Prime Minister was angry, he also admired Huangfu Qingyun's attitude and did not investigate further. If Huangfu Qingyun had really married Qiao Shuyue according to their wishes and followed the path they arranged, what would be the difference between him and a puppet

That's exactly why the Emperor and Empress of the Huaxia Dynasty would agree to Huangfu Qingyun's annulment.

Huángfǔ Qīngyún also agreed to find a suitable candidate for marriage as soon as possible, and promised in front of them that he would let go of his feelings for Fēng Língxī.

It is the best outcome if one can let go of Feng Lingxi's feelings without damaging the relationship between Yaozu and Aohuang Dynasty. This would be beneficial for both Huangpu Qingyun and Aohuang Dynasty.

As Wan'er's first birthday approached, the cold war between mother and daughter continued. The entire Linxi County was preparing for Wan'er's birthday, but Feng Lingxi remained busy with her own affairs, seemingly not caring about it at all.

Wan'er, almost one year old, has learned many words and can walk by herself, but she is not very steady yet.

Feng Lingxi's daily routine of going out early and returning late meant that Wan'er occupied her room. Feng Lingxi then changed rooms, sometimes even going out for days on end without returning. Wan'er simply stared outside but never called for her mother.

"These two are really good at arguing."

It's almost April, with continuous rain and rising temperatures. Besides inspecting gunpowder, Feng Lingxi also leads the people in planting crops like wheat and sweet potatoes – any food that can sustain them is sown.

Cultivating wasteland and raising livestock, expanding the industry.

Feng Lingxi's life can be said to be rich and colorful.

Besides accompanying Wan'er, Dugu Cheng secretly purchased grain and provisions. Recently, things in the capital have been peaceful, with no news coming from there. Empress Cen has also not inquired about his reconciliation with Feng Lingxi.

As her first birthday arrived, the county office was decorated with festive joy. Wan'er had gotten up early, but she felt downcast.nnot either."Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, looking at Empress Cen's tightly furrowed brows and pursed lips."Previously, I told you not to research the Frost Flower's poison. Did you truly not research...
