Chapter 492 Revenge 136

like this after a relapse"Li Guanta nodded, “The time of the poison attack is becoming more and more frequent. With the hot weather, the attacks are happening more and more frequently.” Li Guanta bro..."It's Xiu'er."

Dugu Xiu looked at his mother on the bed, her pale face made him feel puzzled and concerned. He asked, "Mother, are you feeling alright"

The Empress Dowager glanced at him, "My body is doing well, it's just the Emperor... I don't know how he is. My heart aches terribly."

Dugu Xiu heard this and quickly said, "Mother, rest assured, the Emperor will be fine. With so many imperial physicians, he will surely be able to be cured."

"That group of useless good-for-nothings, they haven't been able to find an antidote for the Emperor yet. Now that the Fourth Royal Consort has entered the palace and was rejected by Dugu City, this Empress is truly out of options."

Dugu Xiu's expression was slightly surprised. Dugu Cheng actually didn't allow Feng Lingxi to enter the palace to detoxify Dugu Yan. Could it be that he really wanted Dugu Yan to die

Isn't this Dugu City planning to usurp the throne

"Mother, could it be that the Fourth Prince still bears a grudge against Father over this matter and is afraid that allowing the Fourth Princess to enter the palace will lead to something similar happening again"

When Empress Dowager Cen heard this, she thought about what had happened before, and it was indeed possible. She hadn't thought about it before.

The current situation, with Dugu City turning against her, is precarious. If she angers him, who knows what he'll do Both the Huaxia Dynasty and Tianqi Nation are connected to him in some way. She can't be sure if there's secret communication between them. If this fails, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Besides, these small kingdoms in the Western Regions come to offer tribute. If they discover our internal strife, it will only make matters worse.

"Xiu'er, what do you think Duguo Cheng was thinking"

"Mother, given the current situation, Duke Gu is practically the king on his mountain. He has the capability to go head-to-head with us. Now that the Emperor is poisoned, if we truly confront him, what if he usurps the throne Your son fears..."

"The very thing the Empress worries about is this matter. The Empress has never been able to see through Dugu City's thoughts, and now that he has Feng Lingxi by his side, it makes the Empress even more troubled. The Empress isn't afraid of the General's Mansion's power, but the Yao Clan's influence...even the Empress has some reservations."

Upon hearing Cen Tai mentioning the Yao Clan, Dugu Xiu curiously voiced his confusion.

"Mother, my son has heard many rumors about the Yao Clan. They say that anyone who obtains their treasure can rule the world. But is this true Is the Yao Clan's treasure truly so astonishing"

Seeing the curiosity in Dugu Xiu's eyes, Empress Cen didn't want to hide it from him. With the emperor in such a state of illness, if something were to happen to him, Xiu would be her next candidate for emperor. Her plan, with his participation, would undoubtedly be easier to execute.

"Xiu'er, what I said is not just about the treasures of the Yao Clan. This Yao Clan has been able to survive among all countries for a thousand years. Many people have tried every means to get their treasures, but no one has ever been able to obtain them. It's not just because the Yao Clan's treasures are vast, but also because their power is unfathomable. No one knows how many people there are in the Yao Clan, nor how many treasures they possess, except for the successive Holy Masters."

But the son learned from Yao Feifei that there was no such thing as factions within the Yao Clan.

Dugu Xiu thought of Feng Ling Xi's arrogance, could it be that this was the reason she became like this now

"Even her mother wasn't too clear. Yao Feifei was just a member of the Yao clan and didn't know anything about their secrets at all. Feng Lingxi's mother was the Holy Lord of the Yao clan. I had met her several times and talked to her many times, but she never revealed anything. This is the perplexing nature of the Yao clan."

Dugu Xiu first learned so much about the Yao clan from his mother. He only knew that his mother cared a lot about the Yao clan, but he didn't know how powerful they were. Now that he thinks about it, his mother's indulgence towards Feng Lingxi was to get the treasure of the Yao clan.

"Mother, forgive your son for speaking too much. Will Feng Lingxi really hand over the Yao clan's treasure to you when you cooperate with her Feng Lingxi is not easy to deal with. Your son has known her for some time, and she's just as difficult to handle as Dugu City. She's very cunning and ruthless, definitely not someone to be trifled with."

Although she was ruthless, she was still human. Humans have weaknesses, and her weakness was those she cared about.

Cen Taizi looked at Dugu Xiu's narrowed eyes and let out a soft sigh.

"Xiuer, the Emperor's condition is like this now, even Mother doesn't know how long he can hold on. What if..."

"It seems this empire can only rely on you," Empress Cen said with a helpless look.

Dugu Xiu hurriedly feigned a terrified expression, "Mother Empress, you mustn't speak carelessly like this. The Emperor will surely be cured of the poison. If these words spread, I fear for my life."

Empress Dowager Cen looked at his terrified expression and her heart was as clear as a mirror. She knew what her own son was thinking. For so many years, he had been resentful because he was born after the Emperor. Now that the Emperor was gone, he was the happiest of them all.

"Xiuer, here it's just the two of us, mother and son. These are things I need to tell you. The Emperor's current condition... even Mother doesn't know how it will turn out. What if he can't make it Mother will be left with only you as a son. This throne, if not yours, then who else would it go to To Du Gulou"

"Mother, Dugu City is the Emperor's most beloved son and also our great Yuan Dynasty's war god. If such a thing really happened, him becoming Emperor would also be what the people desire..."

"Damn it!"

"How dare you say such things! This palace is not without princes, the throne could never possibly come to him!"

Duke Gu Xiu hurriedly knelt down. His frightened expression made Empress Cen's face even colder. She was very dissatisfied with him like this.

"I'll ask you just one question: Do you want this throne"

獨孤修 knelt there, pondering his mother's intentions. He didn't know if this was a test or sincere concern. If this were a test, he would surely face unimaginable consequences.

"Mother, it is not appropriate to say these things now. If the Emperor knew, he would be deeply saddened. We are all his closest relatives."

Queen Cen looked into Dugu Xiu's sincere eyes and waved her hand. "Go down first, I'm a little tired."

Du Gu Xiu didn't know what his mother meant, but he realized now that he shouldn't stay here any longer. He couldn't guess her intentions, so it was best to be careful.

"Mother, please take care of yourself. Your son will go and see the Emperor."

When Cen Taizi saw Dugu Xiu leave, she instructed, "Go and see what the Fourth Princess is doing."

At Siwangfu, Feng Lingxi sneezed. The winter weather had definitely grown colder. She had gotten up early that morning and was sitting in this pavilion grinding medicinal herbs when she caught a chill without noticing it.

A cape fell onto her shoulders, and Feng Lingxi turned to see Dugu Cheng standing behind her. She smiled at him and pulled the cape closer.

"Coming here so early, and not wearing enough clothes."
