ing you here."Dugu Cheng glanced around, "Third Brother, how did you end up here"“This is your royal sister-in-law’s family home. This king has been staying here these past few days.”"So that's how it...Seeing the worry between Dugu City's brows, Feng Lingxi asked, "Are you worried about him"

獨孤城 didn't want to hide it from her, he nodded. "Back then, when his father banished him from the palace, it was actually to protect him. He just didn't expect that he would come back."

Feng Lingxi thought to herself and said to Dugu Yu, “Did Dugu Yu really plot against Dugu Yan”

What do you think

"If I knew that, would I be asking you"

Feng Lingxi glared at Dugu Cheng, "Back then when Dugu Yu was driven out of the palace, the rumors in the capital about him were limited to him murdering Dugu Yan and being expelled. As for anything else, there's nothing."

Dugu City nodded. “He and I are both princes who have nothing to do with the throne. However, back then, our father favored him too much, which worried the Empress Dowager that he might be chosen by our father as the Crown Prince. She plotted against him, framing him and expelling him from the capital, sending him to Liangzhou.”

"So, everything he told me was true"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's thoughtful expression, "After being demoted, this king doesn't know if he is still the same as before, with an unwavering heart."

Feng Lingxi understood what Dugu Cheng meant. She had no desire for power back then, but after so many years and so much happening in the court, it was hard to say if Dugu Yu still possessed the same innocent heart he once had.

"Then you should take a good look later and see who's friend or foe."

Dugu Cheng nodded, holding Feng Lingxi's hand. "Xier, why didn't you agree to give Cen Taizu the military power in my hands It doesn't matter if I don't become this prince, as long as we are together, even if I am just a peasant in the mountains and fields, I can."

Feng Lingxi looked at the tenderness in Duguo City's eyes, she did want to, but this was simply impossible.

"Do you think, without military power, you have any chance of survival"

Dugu City's words were choked. He naturally understood the threat he posed to the court. Even if he didn't fight or scramble, in their eyes, he was a threat, a hidden danger.

"That's true, how could they let me live"

This military power is his only weapon to protect Xi'er and his mother concubine. If he loses this military power, it will be difficult for him to protect them.

"Dugu Cheng, don't overthink it. Actually, Empress Cen is quite easy to deal with. She only cares about the Yao Clan's treasure and ruling the world. As long as we follow her wishes, she won't harm us."

"It's a good idea to think this way, but she shouldn't have the intention of ruling from behind the curtain and letting Dugu Yan be a puppet emperor with no real power. How could Dugu Yan tolerate this He would sooner or later rebel."

Dugu City and Feng Lingxi had the same idea, which was why Empress Cen would tolerate her in every way possible, all for the sake of the so-called Yao Clan Treasure.

Duke Guluo's residence and Duke Guluo Cheng's residence were only separated by a few streets, but the gap between them was enormous. Even the mansions of officials in this dynasty were probably more luxurious and imposing than Duke Guluo's residence. Although Duke Guluo's residence was still standing, the furniture and courtyard inside had not been repaired, making it old and desolate.

"I never expected San Wangfu to be so desolate."

Feng Lingxi felt a pang of sympathy for Dugu Yu. They were both princes, yet their fates differed drastically. The luxury of the Sixth Prince's Residence paled in comparison to the grandeur of the Fourth Prince's.

After his demotion, the fact that his father had allowed him to keep his mansion was already an extraordinary act of mercy. It was a place for him to return to, but since it hadn't been repaired in years, the environment was naturally not as good as before.

"Fourth Brother."

Du Guyu hurried forward. Upon learning that Du Gucheng had arrived, he immediately came out to greet him. Seeing him appear with Feng Lingxi, he was somewhat surprised.

"Fourth Royal Wife, it's good to see you again."

Feng Lingxi nodded, politely greeted him, and looked at Dugu Yu. His face was smiling as he watched Dugu Cheng. The tenderness in his eyebrows and eyes wasn't like the coldness of other princes; he seemed much more approachable.

"Third brother."

"Du Gucheng cried out, stepped forward and embraced Du Guyu. He let go and asked, 'Have you forgotten what your father said Why did you come back Now Liangzhou is very good for you, at least you are a powerful figure in Liangzhou...' "

"Fourth brother, don't be angry. This time, Third Brother is just coming back to take a look and will leave soon."

Du Gu Yu hurriedly soothed him, and when he saw that he was fine, he felt relieved.

Feng Lingxi, watching Dugu Cheng's attitude towards Dugu Yu, it was indeed like that of親 brothers. Perhaps, Dugu Yu was really different from the other princes

"Did the Empress Dowager and the Emperor say anything when they saw you"

"It's rare for me to return, and since Father has already pardoned my crimes, even if the Empress Dowager is displeased, she wouldn't say anything." Not to mention that he had an imperial edict in his hand, which the Empress Dowager would have to be wary of.

"Come sit down for a bit. It's been years, you've become quite talkative."

Dugu Yu embraced Dugu Cheng's shoulder, and Dugu Cheng patted his shoulder in return. They smiled at each other and went into the house to sit down.

Feng Lingxi watched their departing figures, following them until they sat down and began to chat. She remained silent, sitting beside them without a word.

"Third brother, although the Empress Dowager hasn't spoken up to allow you to return to Liangzhou, don't stay in the capital too long. It's best to avoid suspicion and prevent them from thinking you are plotting something."

Dugu Yu smiled wryly, "I'm used to it. This time you were framed, but I feel like the taste of being wronged back then"

Dugu Cheng held the teacup in his hand, taking a sip with his eyes slightly cold. "Being framed can be endured, but my father's death... This king still cannot bear it."

“I know about the emperor’s death, but there’s no evidence. Remember, don’t act rashly. Don’t forget what your father told you.” Dugu Yu reminded him, his brows furrowed with worry. This made Feng Lingxi curious. Was there always a connection between Dugu Cheng and Dugu Yu Why did she feel like they had always been connected

"Third Brother, rest assured, Your Majesty and this prince have spoken, and this prince remembers every word."

Dugu Yu patted Dugu Cheng's shoulder and looked at him with satisfaction, "After so many years apart, Fourth Brother has really grown up. There's no need for this King to worry anymore."

"Third Brother, how have things been these past years in Liangzhou After Father's passing, the court has fallen into chaos. Third Brother should be aware of my situation."

Du Gu Yu nodded, "I'm doing well. I've heard about your situation, though. Fourth brother is lucky, this fourth princess consort is quite good. Next time there's an opportunity, let the third imperial sister-in-law meet her."

"Did Third Brother get married"

Dugu Cheng was very surprised. He remembered that his third brother had once said he wouldn't marry a wife, but now it seemed that time could really dilute everything and allow people to be reborn.

She's an ordinary girl, but she understands me.

A single sentence made Feng Lingxi understand the story in Dugu Yu's heart. Feng Lingxi's liking for him grew even more. If it weren't for the fact that Dugu City was their enemy, he would be their brother.

"It's good that Third Brother can let it go."

Dugu Cheng soothed, the two looked at each other, Dugu Yu asked, "Have you thought about it"
