Chapter 275: Seizing Power (Part 30)

the Imperial Garden and wasted some time.""It's alright, haven't I also wasted some time"Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao Ran County Lord and the Crown Prince, "Your Highness is chatting with County Lord Z...Night Xi patted his shoulder, "If the princess were truly here, we would surely be able to see her."

Dugu Cheng sighed, the despair in his eyes made Ye Xi feel heartbroken. He searched for the princess but found nothing but hallucinations. This wouldn't work, he needed to calm down.

"Xier, I really heard that."

Dugu Cheng retracted his gaze. Feng Ling Xi and Huang Fu Qing Yun, holding the purchased ceramic dolls, walked past him not far away. The two missed each other like that.

"If you truly want to stay and look for Xier, then we'll stay here for a day and depart tomorrow. We can find an inn to stay in tonight." Feng Fu didn't want to see Dugu City so disheartened. Xier was her daughter, and she also wanted to find her. However, she had just looked around and hadn't seen Xier. She couldn't bear to see Dugu City heartbroken, so staying for a day and allowing him to search would be some comfort to him.

Dugu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Ye Xi, take your wife to the inn. I'll go look around. Come find me later."

Ye Xi watched the king's departing figure, her face full of worry.

"Madam, the way Your Lordship behaves like this, you still indulge him Where's the Queen here"

Feng Fu looked at Ye Xi, "You haven't loved, so you don't know the pain of losing a loved one. Even if he knew that Xi'er might not really be here, he still doesn't want to give up any chance to find her. Let him be, a day won't make much difference."

Ye Xi rubbed her nose, who said he had never loved.

So what if we've loved and lost, it's not like there wasn't a result.

Dugu Cheng searched everywhere for Feng Lingxi's figure in the market. He couldn't believe that what he heard was just an illusion. Perhaps, he had just brushed shoulders with Xi'er, or maybe he hadn't found Xi'er. The bustling capital of Chaos Summer was so big, perhaps Xi'er was waiting for him in some corner here.

"Xier, wait for me."

The figure of Du Gu Cheng shuttled through the crowd, no one could know how much he longed to see that familiar figure among the throng.

"Xier, are you tired Would you like to rest a bit up ahead"

Huangfu Qingyun watched her sweat profusely and handed her a handkerchief to wipe it. Feng Lingxi reached out and wiped her sweat, looking at the lively market with reluctance.

"Your Highness, I'm not tired."

"Xier, where are you"

After walking around in a circle, Dugu City, lost and despondent, mumbled to himself in the corner. Feng Lingxi suddenly turned her head and looked around.

"Strange, I think I just heard someone call my name"

Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly glanced around, but didn't find anyone suspicious.

"Xier, did you hear wrong I've been standing here the whole time and haven't heard anything."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "No, someone just called me."

Looking around, Feng Lingxi walked towards the front, "It seems to be coming from over there."

Feng Ling walked towards the right side, but Dugu Cheng walked from her direction. The two passed each other again, perfectly missing each other.

"Xier, slow down."

Huangpu Qingyun watched her anxious steps, very worried, and hurriedly caught up with her.

Fēng Língxī crossed her arms, sweating profusely from exhaustion, but she didn't see anything.

"Your Highness, I really heard it."

Huangfu Qingyun saw the anxiety in her eyes, worried that she would be stimulated, so he quickly comforted her, "Perhaps someone else is also named Xi'er, just a coincidence. I'll send someone to investigate later and see if there's anyone else with the same name as you."

Feng Lingxi pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disappointment.

As for why she felt lost, she couldn't say. It just felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Huangfu Qingyun saw her dejected expression and comforted her softly, "Let's go eat something, shall we There's a restaurant here with delicious food."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly and followed Huangfu Qingyun onto the wine shop. Sitting by the street window, she watched the pedestrians coming and going, her mood somewhat downcast.

"Xi'er, you don't look happy"

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangpu Qingyun, her voice a little downcast. "Prince, I really didn't hear wrong. Someone actually called Xi'er, and his voice sounded so sad."

Huangfu Qingyun reached out to touch her head, sighing softly, "The world is so vast, there are many people with the same name and surname. If he was truly looking for you, he would still find you."

"So you're saying I was really called Xi'er before"

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun, seeing him frown and rest his hands on his chin. "You really want to know who I was before"

"When you remember later, I'll accompany you home."

Feng Lingxi was a little happier now, looking at the dishes brought up, she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.

Dugu City, after searching for a circle, came to the tavern and sat down. He ordered several bottles of wine and drank them down one by one. Thinking of his past with Xi'er, his eyes became wet, and he kept pouring wine into his mouth with the bottle in his hand.

He shouldn't have let her go out. If Xi'er hadn't gone out, she wouldn't have been framed by them, and she wouldn't have fallen off the cliff.

If he put more thought into what Xier wanted, he'd know.

It's all his fault, it's all his doing. He hates it so much, why is it that he still lets Xi'er get into trouble.

"Wine, give me wine."

Dugu Cheng was drunk, having finished several jars of wine on the table. He stood up, swaying as he went down the stairs, but tripped and fell to the ground. This accident angered the other drinkers who were also there, and they surrounded him, scolding him.

Ye Xi looked around for a while, and finally found the King. Seeing that the King was drunk, Ye Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Young Master, get up."

"Wine, bring me wine."

Dugu City was completely drunk, Ye Xi helped him up, and the people around him cursed, attracting the attention of everyone. Feng Lingxi and Huangfu Qingyun were naturally also attracted, watching the drunkard, Huangfu Qingyun was a little surprised.

"It was him."

"Who is it"

Feng Lingxi looked at the drunkard and asked, "Prince, do you know him"

"Just bumped into him on the street."

Feng Lingxi stared at Du Gucheng for a while, "Why is he so drunk"

Huángfǔ Qīngyún shook his head, "Xī'er, let's go back."

Feng Lingxi responded and followed Huangfu Qingyun downstairs. The two passed by Ye Xi and Dugu Cheng, who were swaying precariously. Ye Xi, while supporting Dugu Cheng, couldn't help but notice Feng Lingxi walking past them. She wanted to call out to her, but when Dugu Cheng’s body weakened again, she was gone by the time he recovered.

"Sir, wake up quickly."

Ye Xi shouted anxiously, lowering his voice to say in his ear, "I just saw the princess."

獨孤城's eyes were wet with grief, and he cried out in anguish, "Xi'er, I miss you." Then he passed out. Ye Xi watched the king pass out, anxious and wanting to chase after his wife, but she couldn't abandon the king either.

Anyway, at least we found the princess. Let's take her back to the king first, and then go looking again later.

Feng Lingxi walked out of the tavern and glanced back, tugging on Huangpu Qingyun's arm, "Your Highness, that person just now was drunk. Will he be alright" business, I happened to wander here and heard that King Chen is returning to the capital. So I thought of inviting King Chen for a meal together. I wonder if King Chen would be willing">Dugu Cheng lo...
