Chapter 1251: War Clouds Gather

fter being transported yesterday and stored in the armory, it suddenly exploded last night. Not only were these items destroyed, but the weapons in the armory were also severely damaged. As you said,..."Xier, what are you thinking about"

When Dugu City returned to the mansion, he saw a large chest at the gate of Chen Wangfu. He was full of doubts. He didn't remember them having so many things to take with them when they left.

Feng Lingxi seemed to have not heard, Du Gucheng walked in front of her and called her again. Feng Lingxi only then came back to her senses, looked at Du Gucheng, and jumped in fright.

"You're back"

Du Gu Cheng nodded, watching Feng Ling Xi absentmindedly, a look of concern on his face.

"Xi'er, what happened Why are you so absent-minded"

"It's nothing."

Feng Lingxi gathered her thoughts and looked at the box in front of her. She hurriedly took out the imperial edict and gave it to Dugu Cheng, "This is what the Emperor just bestowed."

"Gifts"

Dugu City recalled Zhao Gonggong's words when he left the palace. He opened the imperial edict and glanced at it, his eyes fixed on those boxes.

"So many of these are Imperial gifts"

“Ten thousand ounces of gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins.”

Dugu Cheng's eyes were clearly surprised. He walked over, looked at the things in the box, and frowned, asking, "Did the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict say anything"

"It's just the rewards, he didn't say anything, I don't know why the Emperor would give us so many rewards."

Dugu Cheng couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

By the way, what did the Emperor summon you for Shouldn't we leave

"You can leave, but give me a secret decree so I can do something for him."

Since it was a secret decree, Feng Lingxi wouldn't ask further here and instead somewhat understood why there were rewards.

It's likely related to the matter that Du Gucheng helped him with this time. Moreover, she had incidents both times she entered the palace. Perhaps it was to appease Du Gucheng, after all, he has no intention of harming him right now, and besides the matter of military power, these rewards are a form of appeasement.

Then, when shall we set off

Having glanced at the time, it was still early. If we set off now, we wouldn't be wasting any time.

Dugu Cheng thought of the Empress Dowager's health and felt uneasy. He wanted to stay, but the Emperor didn't retain him, and he had already ordered his departure from the capital today. He didn't dare to linger any longer.

"It's still early, let's get ready and head out."

Feng Lingxi looked at the struggle in Dugu City's eyes and asked, "Don't you want to leave the capital"

"This is a royal decree, I have no choice, come on."

Hearing this from Dugu City, Feng Lingxi was worried but didn't know how to comfort him.

"Luo Li and Li Wu Yan are here, they're at the mansion now and say they want to travel with us."

Du Gu Cheng replied, "Let them accompany us. It's better to prevent any incidents along the way. Xinshui has always harbored resentment towards you. Having Luoli travel with us will keep Xinshui in check."

Windling nodded, saying that she hadn't seen the other person for some time and hadn't heard of any of her activities.

Then I'll go tell them.

Hearing Dugu Cheng's response, Feng Lingxi walked into the palace. Dugu Cheng stood there, his eyes a little downcast. This parting, he didn't know when he would be able to return to the capital. With Empress Dowager in this state today, it was unknown how long it would last.

Although he was reluctant, Dugu City still let go. After all, he was a subject, and she was now the Empress Dowager, their positions and circumstances were different.

Soon, the group packed up and got into the carriage.

This time, Feng Yixuan and Tian Xiaomi learned that Feng Lingxi and the others had returned to Linxi County. They rushed there as soon as possible, met up with them, and left the city together.

Dugu Cheng left the capital and returned to Linxi County this time with gifts bestowed by the emperor. The people in the capital began to discuss, saying that the emperor favored King Chen, and returning to Linxi County gave them so many rewards.

Not only that, the people started to gossip, saying that Consort Chen entered the palace twice, both times causing trouble for the emperor's other concubines, but she was rewarded by the emperor instead. They said it was because the emperor feared her status as the holy master of the Yao clan and secretly discussed Feng Lingxi, suggesting that she should know how to repay kindness.

And the way to repay this kindness would naturally be to turn over the Yao clan's treasures to the imperial court.

Feng Lingxi listened to the people's discussions, but her face remained expressionless. On this journey, she had heard such remarks many times before. It was just that listening to them made her feel inexplicably irritated.

She doesn't have the Yao tribe's treasures, so how could she hand them over to the court Besides, both times she entered the palace, she encountered concubines creating trouble for her, causing her to be caught by the emperor and almost executed. This wasn't her fault, but now rumors are spreading and it's becoming her responsibility.

The discussions along this return journey were just as lively, and they had been all the way.

At this inn, as soon as people entered and started eating, they began to discuss it like this.

Luo Li watched the people at the next table talk about Feng Ling Xi again, a smirk playing on her lips.

"You say you gained something in the end, but it's all about fixating on your identity."

Feng Ling Xi served Wan'er dishes, feeding her rice. There wasn't the slightest trace of anger on his expression, as if the gossip from next door didn't concern him at all. His emotions remained perfectly calm.r bosom. She turned to face Dugu City, "Where's your piece of paper Quickly show it to Master."Dugu Cheng presented the document to the master. The master's eyes lit up upon seeing Dugu Cheng, and he...
