Chapter 1319: War Clouds Gather 130
s her mother suddenly changed her mind, she would have no room for regret."That's all I need to hear."Dugu Cheng reached out and pulled her into his arms. Feng Lingxi did not push him away. She could..."Just take it and keep it, you'll find a use for it later."
Mrs. Lu looked at Feng Lingxi's hesitation in her eyes and sighed softly, "This thing is passed down from female to female, I can only give it to you."
"Is there such a saying"
Feng Lingxi took the jade pendant and examined it carefully, but there was nothing particularly special about it.
"It's the NanGong family's rule, and I haven't given birth to a daughter. Although you're not my biological child, you do carry Lu Hao's blood. His bloodline is my daughter, and this is the daughter I acknowledge."
"Madam Lu, with you saying this, I can't possibly accept this. I promised my mother that I wouldn't acknowledge him."
Feng Lingxi returned the jade pendant in her hand to Mrs. Lu. Accepting it would be tantamount to acknowledging Lu Hao as her father. If her mother found out, she would be furious and say she was unfilial.
"I didn't make you acknowledge him, and whether you recognize him or not doesn't change the fact that you carry his blood. This jade pendant is the most fitting gift for you. If you refuse it, I'll be truly heartbroken."
Mrs. Lu handed the jade pendant to Feng Lingxi, "Quickly put it away. Come with me to see Wan'er. This separation, the next time we meet, who knows what year or month it will be." There was reluctance in Mrs. Lu's voice. She really loved her daughter, and Feng Lingxi, she liked from the bottom of her heart. But she didn't recognize Lu Hao, and she couldn't help it, nor did she want to make him feel repulsed by her.
Feng Lingxi looked at the jade pendant in her hand, unconsciously clenching it. Looking into Lu's wife's loving eyes, she nodded and wore the jade around her neck.
“Thank you, Mrs. Lu.” A jade pendant could summon the armies of Xi Gu Kingdom. If this were known, she would be accused of colluding with the Lu family to betray her country.
Feng Lingxi brought Lu Fu to Wan'er's courtyard. Wan'er and Tian Xiaomi were in the courtyard. Wan'er, with her small frame, was practicing martial arts, looking quite skilled. Tian Xiaomi followed beside her, mimicking her movements, which were somewhat comical, but she studied very diligently.
"Wan'er, look who's here."
Feng Lingxi shouted, and Wan'er saw that it was Lu Fu-ren and excitedly ran over, "Lu Grandma, you finally came, Wan'er has been waiting for you for a long time."
Lady Lu bent down and picked up Wan'er, looking at the sweat on her little face and her brilliant smile, she was in a great mood.
"Wǎn'ér, do you miss Grandma"
Wan'er nodded and hurriedly said to Feng Lingxi, "Mother, can Wan'er play with Granny Lu for a while"
Of course.
"Wan'er broke free and came down, taking hold of Lu's hand. "Grandma Lu, Wan'er has a question I want to ask you. Would you tell me"
Lady Lu nodded and patiently followed Wan'er, explaining things to her. The two of them were as close as sisters.
"Your Highness, you don't mind her coming to see Wan'er"
Tian Xiaomi walked to Feng Lingxi's side and, thinking about how Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu had come these past few days, curiously asked out loud.
"Let them go, there's no harm in letting them see. But you've been working hard this time, staying here with Wan'er every day."
"I don't find it hard, actually I'm quite happy here. I practice martial arts with Wan'er every day. Although I don't learn very well, it's good exercise for my body. As for Wan'er, her natural talent is really amazing."
Tian Xiaomi wore an envious expression, "This person is truly infuriating. I and Wan'er are simply no match for them."
"It's not like that, she's still young, her body is flexible, naturally it would be much easier. Look at me, I don't know anything either."
Feng Lingxi chuckled lightly, "Actually, I also want to learn their kind of light kung fu, flying across rooftops and walls, it's much stronger than relying on tools like I do."
Then Xiaomǐ's eyes lit up, "Why don't we practice together Feng Yu Mò's set of light kung fu is particularly impressive. We could just practice his. Even if we can't win, we'll be able to escape and protect ourselves."
When Feng Yu Mo was mentioned, he went back to the military camp and didn't return to the Prince's Mansion. According to Du Gu Cheng, he had been training recently, devoting all his time to it, learning from General Li. He seemed to have forgotten about Gu Li quickly.
"I'll have Yu Mo teach you next time he comes back. You should learn from him first. If I knew how, I'd learn from him too."
Feng Ling Xi's words instantly crushed Tian Xiao Mi's spirit.
“Hearing you say that, I'm even less confident. Lately, I feel like I can't learn anything and I'm very troubled.”
"What's going on"
Feng Lingxi took her hand to feel her pulse. Tian Xiaomi glanced at Feng Lingxi, “I’m not pregnant, it’s just that my appetite has been bad lately. Feng Yixuan doesn’t have time to accompany me. Besides playing with Wan'er, I don't know what else to do. It's quite boring.”
"Your body is also fine, if you are bored, why not learn medicine with me"
"Study medicine"
As soon as Tian Xiaomi thought of those thick medical books, her head started aching terribly.
"No, no, I'm not cut out for this. I can't remember it."
Feng Lingxi heard this, her eyes full of helplessness.
"That won't work for me."
Tian Xiaomi glanced at Wan'er, "Even a child can do better than me, I'm really too hard on myself. Life here is truly unbearable."
If you're truly bored, why not find something to do Perhaps open a shop in the city and do some business.
Tian Xiaomi's eyes lit up, "This idea isn't bad. I can open a shop and bring out all the knowledge from my past life. Doing some small business to earn some money is also possible."
Feng Lingxi nodded, "That's great, then you won't feel bored."
Tian Xiaomi tapped her head, “I need to think hard about what I should do.”
Feng Lingxi, seeing Tian Xiaomimi's spirit, couldn't help but widen her smile. If she could find something to do, perhaps she wouldn't be so bored here.
Looking at Wan'er, who was having fun playing with Lady Lu, Feng Lingxi's phoenix eyes flickered. She raised her head and gazed at the sky. It had been a few days now. How come there was still no news from that side of the Arid Summer Dynasty Could it be that Huangpu Qingyun really wasn't in contact with her anymore
"Your Highness."
Xiao Li stepped forward, watching Tian Xiaomi's cheerful face as she gestured there. She walked to the princess's side and lowered her voice, "I just received news that Feng Yu Xi appeared in the capital of Huang Xia Dynasty, and had a conflict with Prince Huofeng."
"What exactly happened"
Feng Lingxi's eyes were filled with worry, Xiao Li shook her head, "The servant has not received any news yet, I have already sent someone to investigate."
"Xiao Li, what's the situation in Huaxia in the morning Is it really like Luo Li said, is there a real plague over there"
Feng Lingxi was worried about the spread of plague in the summer season. If it wasn't handled properly, the area affected would expand, and the consequences would be dire. She didn't want to see people displaced by the plague, their families torn apart.
After all, the spread and outbreak of plague is no less merciless than war.
"Your Highness, my servant has not received any confirmed news yet, but it is true that there is a plague over there. My servant inquired around the surroundings and found that all countries have imposed lockdowns and severed ties with the people of the Huansha Dynasty. It can be seen that the plague should not be mild."
Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, no wonder she couldn't get any news.
But with the severity of the plague, why would Feng Yu Xi still go to the capital city of Huangxia
>e the carriage, I'm going to the palace."It seems he indeed underestimated Feng Lingxi. How many years has the Yao clan been around, and yet, for the first time, someone treats the status of the Yao C...
