Chapter 1584: Glazed Purple Star (123)

are being too harsh on him. What if his true identity is the Clan Leader""The chieftain's father, I'm not afraid of him either."Feng Lingxi, carrying the falling lily in her hand, angrily said, "Don't..."Don't say that about yourself, your body isn't incapable of getting better. With me here, don't worry, I promise to help you return to your former self, the solitary City." Feng Lingxi encouraged, seeing a glimmer of light in Dugu Cheng's eyes, giving him a boost.

"This king will cooperate with Xi'er's treatment and will definitely recover soon."

"This is necessary, or how else will you deal with the bullets and arrows to come"

Lu Nian shuang smiled, looking at their happy reconciliation, he was genuinely happy for them.

"Brother, thank you."

Dugu Cheng bowed to Lu Nian, and Lu Nian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Highness, what are you doing"

Don't scare her, he doesn't want Xi'er to misunderstand and think he's manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Dugu Cheng laughed, “Brother, thank you for not kicking me out this time. Otherwise, I’m afraid my body wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”

Lu Nian mentioned her throat, and his heart sank again. He felt a sigh of relief all over.

“As long as Xi’er agrees, I, as the eldest brother, naturally welcome it. You don’t need to thank me, just thank Xi’er.” He dared not take credit for himself. If this were to backfire, Xi’er might misunderstand him and he would have lost his sister. He didn't know how their parents and everyone in the Lu family would deal with him.

"Then we just wait for the prime minister to make a move"

To get to the point, Feng Lingxi began analyzing the situation. She had to get Du Gucheng his military power back. Since Emperor Yuan Zhao was willing to have the prime minister find Du Gucheng, and had said so much already, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. She just needed to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager.

"Let's see how the Chancellor does. I think even if the Chancellor petitions, the Emperor might agree, but the Empress Dowager would definitely object. She wouldn't hand over military power to me."

When it comes to the Empress Dowager, Feng Lingxi gets furious. She is the former mother-in-law of Feng Lingxi, and the biological mother of Duguxing. How could she become like this She is so cold and ruthless towards Duguxing, constantly pushing him to his limits. Is power and status really more important than family ties

"Then you're just going to sit here and wait"

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned cold. "Of course, I can't just sit here and wait. That speed is too slow. This king will urge them to move faster. As for the rest, leave it to this king to handle. Xi’er, just wait for good news."

Feng Lingxi responded, "Then do your best."

When Feng Lingxi encouraged him, Dugu Cheng seemed like a different person. In the following days, the court situation took a turn for the better. The prime minister and the emperor suggested that since Dugu Cheng had recovered, he should return to the court and regain his military power. However, this proposal was rejected by Dugu Yu, and even the Empress Dowager strongly opposed it. This caused a major uproar, and the atmosphere in the court became heavy for several days.

Dugu City recovered quickly under Feng Lingxi's treatment. They all knew about the events in the capital, but Dugu City pretended not to know anything. He stayed at the Lu residence and spent his days treating injuries and taking medicine, never venturing out.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager had a huge argument and fell out. The Prime Minister proposed that Dugu Cheng continue to lead the army, but Dugu Yu opposed it, saying that Dugu Cheng's body hadn't fully recovered. In reality, he was afraid of letting the tiger back into the mountains.

Half of the officials in court are aligned with the Chancellor. This Chancellor has put forward Du Gulongcheng, and all those ministers who once wanted to get rid of Du Gulongcheng at any cost have now changed sides and are speaking up for him, hoping he will regain control of the military.

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that the reason the Empress Dowager is unwilling is because Crown Prince Chen's body has not yet recovered. It would be better if we waited until Crown Prince Chen's body recovered before proposing to the Empress Dowager. At that time, the Empress Dowager will not refuse. After all, Crown Prince Chen is the Empress Dowager's own son."

Emperor Yuan Zhao coughed several times, forcibly enduring the cough. Lately, his body had been getting worse and worse. Dugu City now intended to return to the court. All he could do was to win over Dugu City. Besides, now that he had reconciled with Feng Ling Xi, the benefits Feng Ling Xi brought to the court... if he didn't seize them, when Dugu Yu's wings were fully grown, where would he still be able to fit in

“Your Majesty, I understand what you’ve said. But these past years, everyone has seen the Empress Dowager’s dissatisfaction with Prince Chen. The military power of Prince Chen was taken away by the Empress Dowager’s order. Now, the Empress Dowager is not satisfied with the current situation, and she is becoming more and more like Empress Dowager Cen from back then. I fear that one day, the Empress Dowager will become the second Empress Dowager Cen, and at that time, the Jiangshan of the Great Yuan Dynasty might be shaken again.”

The common people finally had a stable life, but it was about to be disrupted again because of the empress dowager's ambition.

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes we cannot allow the Empress Dowager to continue this way. Right now, Prince Yu doesn't even regard you, Your Majesty, as anything. His power stretches throughout the court, he raises troops abroad, and has the Empress Dowager backing him. No one can guarantee that he won't seize power one day with a single decree."

Emperor Yuan Zhao angrily slammed the table, but because he was too agitated, he started coughing violently. The Prime Minister hurriedly soothed him, "Your Majesty, your health is important."

"I truly regret my decision back then. I shouldn't have listened to Dugu Xiu and kept this Wang Yuzhi. Allowing him to grow and flourish led to his current strength."

"Your Majesty, it's too late to say anything now. This old minister believes we should focus on Prince Chen. He was once our Great Yuan Dynasty's war god. Now that he has reconciled with Feng Lingxi, he becomes the son-in-law of Xigu Country. If we utilize him well, Prince Chen can help us eliminate Wang Yu."

The Chancellor was so anxious about Dugu Yu's potential dominance in the court because he feared that the Nangong family would lose their standing. With no heir to the Empress, there was a constant threat of being dethroned.

Feng Lingxi's medical skills were superb. Even the imperial physicians of Ta Tai Hospital, where the king was treated, were helpless against his illness. However, Feng Lingxi had now caused the king's condition to improve at a visible rate. He wanted to recruit Feng Lingxi and have her see the Empress. Perhaps she could cure the Empress and give birth to a prince for the emperor.

“I understand what you’re saying. I heard that the Prince of Yù went to see Feng Lingxi and wanted to marry her, but she refused. Moreover, the news I received is that Feng Lingxi and the Prince of Chen have reconciled as before. If we can restore the Prince of Chen to his former position, then things will be much easier on Feng Lingxi’s side.”

The Chancellor agreed, “This old minister also agrees. If Prince Chen could regain control of the military, first, he could counter Prince Yu’s power. Second, Feng Lingxi might perhaps be willing to see Prince Chen’s face and treat the Emperor.”

Emperor Yuan Zhao sighed.

He initially thought that once he became emperor, he could control everything. However, he never managed to control his own body. Over the years, he watched the changes in his body and realized that even with immense power, if one doesn't have a good body, everything is meaningless.

He now only hopes that the situation will not be controlled by Wang and the Empress Dowager, that the Yuan Dynasty will not be like when Cen Empress Dowager ruled before, with the people suffering greatly.

The Transmission of the Heavenly Star King to enter the Palace to see me.

The chancellor glanced at Emperor Yuan Zhao, his eyes filled with worry as well.
