wanting to become pregnant. It seems this matter is indeed true.Feng Lingxi arrived at Shou'an Palace. Empress Dowager Cen was rubbing her temples, looking quite uncomfortable. Her maidservants were..."What does this have to do with Shangguan Huan"
Seeing Qiuer nod, Feng Lingxi had a bad feeling.
"Go ahead."
Along the way, she had seen the feelings between Qiu'er and Shangguan Huan develop. Perhaps, it was all just her overthinking.
"Thank you, Fourth Royal Consort, for willing to detoxify me. Qiu'er has nothing to repay you."
Autumn was about to bow to her, Feng Lingxi hurriedly stopped her.
"Just say what you have to say, no need to be so formal."
Autumn refused, kneeling before Feng Lingxi. Her eyes were full of determination, which made Feng Lingxi feel very embarrassed. She could have just spoken if she had something to say. Kneeling like this, with such a grand gesture, was practically putting her life on the line.
"Qiuer knows that the Princess saved me because Shangguan Huan begged her tirelessly. He's a good person, and he's been kind to me. He did many things he shouldn't have done for me, and I know all of it. I'm very grateful to him, but..."
Autumn took a deep breath, clenching her fists tightly. Hearing this, Feng Lingxi became even more certain that her worries had come true.
"Qiu'er begged the Princess for help, hoping that after I left, she could let Shangguan Huan follow you. His future is limitless and he cannot follow me, as I would ruin him."
"What do you mean Are you leaving him"
Feng Lingxi's heart sank. If Shang Huan knew that Qiu'er was leaving him, his heart would be doubly heartbroken. He had worked so hard to save her, and now that she was well, she was going to be abandoned by him. Who wouldn't feel pain in such a situation
Autumn bit her lip, her eyes struggling.
“My lady, you must think I'm cruel this way. But I really had no choice. I carry the weight of blood vengeance, and I must avenge my family. This is my own business, and I don't want Shangguan Huan to follow me. I might not return from this, so please, my lady, hide it from him.”
"So, how do you plan to tell him you're leaving Just sneak away"
"I will tell him clearly and break up with him."
Autumn looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Please, Your Highness, grant me this."
What kind of blood feud could lead to this With Shangguan Huan's martial prowess, he could have helped you. Why did you choose to leave him
"The queen doesn't understand, my revenge is like a moth to a flame, with no return."
"Then why not cherish the opportunity to live Your family is already gone, why do you still seek revenge Wouldn't it be better to live for your family"
Feng Ling tried to comfort her, hoping she could see things more clearly. This blood feud, she didn't know what kind of blood feud it was, but since she was still alive, it was a blessing from heaven. She should live a good life.
Autumn raised her eyes, the hidden hatred in her eyes shimmering with tears. "I live to avenge them," she said. "If I can't even do that, what meaning does my life have"
"What about Shangguan Huan He sacrificed so much for you. Are you really heartless enough to leave him behind to seek revenge Have you ever thought about his feelings If he knew, he'd rather seek revenge with you than be left behind by you."
Feng Lingxi knew she wasn't in a position to say these words, but this Shangguan Huan was deeply devoted and righteous. Over this period of time, she had seen everything he did for Qiu’er. Now that the matter had happened to her, she still wanted to fight for him, there might still be a sliver of hope.
"I'm sorry, he's a good person, but I truly can't stay by his side and live a normal life peacefully."
She lived to seek revenge. Unless she succeeded in her revenge, she wouldn't be worthy of living with Shangguan Huan.
But she knew that her revenge would be a Pyrrhic victory.
"Can you tell me who your enemy is Although Shangguan Huan might not be able to help much on his own, if I can be of any assistance, I would be happy to try and help you."
"No need."
Autumn decisively refused, "Your kindness, I've received it with gratitude. This debt of mine, I couldn't repay even in a lifetime. Revenge is something I must handle alone."
"How can you be so stubborn Shangguan Huan went through so much trouble to save you, and now you're thinking of revenge and dying with them. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have agreed to help Shangguan Huan save you."
Feng Lingxi got angry and ignored Qiu'er who was kneeling on the ground.
"If you want to leave, then leave. Just don't worry about Shangguan Huan."
Autumn raised her eyes, and her eyes were moist.
Seeing Feng Lingxi angered, she fell to the ground and sobbed softly.
Feng Lingxi disliked this kind of crying the most, making her seem like she had wronged her.
What kind of deep-sea blood feud would Shangguan Huan be unable to help her with Maybe she could do it herself. Why risk her hard-earned life Is revenge the only way to give her family closure
Shouldn't living a good life be what her family wants most for her
"Think it over yourself, I'm going for a walk."
Feng Lingxi left Qiu'er alone in the room to get some fresh air. Xiao Li followed behind her, watching the queen angry and soothingly said, "Your Highness, Qiu'er is also for Shangguan Huan's good, please don't be angry."
"If you can bear to not get angry, I managed to save her back. She's thinking about going to die again. This deep hatred, wouldn't it be better if we all talked it over together You also saw how Shangguan Huan treated Qiu'er, if it were you, could you accept it"
"My Queen, what about you Would you allow the people you love and those who have helped you to risk their lives for revenge on your behalf"
Feng Lingxi was speechless.
Xiao Li's question caught her off guard. If there was truly one day, would she also take Dugu City and those who cared for her on an adventure with her
Answer, she certainly wouldn't want to.
“Your Highness, we don’t know who Qiu’er’s enemy is. The fact that she spoke up means her enemy is formidable, and she doesn't want Shangguan Huan to risk himself. I understand her feelings. As for you, Your Highness, you two met by chance and you have done her a favor. How could she possibly ask you to risk yourself for her”
Feng Ling Xi heard Xiao Li's words, turned to look at her.
Do you think Qiu'er's actions were right
Xiao Li nodded, "If I were in your shoes, I would do the same."
Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, turned and walked into the house. Qiu'er was still crying on the ground, her eyes red and swollen. Feng Lingxi walked over and helped her up.
"Don't cry, you're making me look like the bad guy here."
"No, I…" Qiu'er hurriedly explained, meeting Feng Lingxi's eyes filled with helplessness, she sniffed, "I just feel like I shouldn't be alive. If I had left with my family back then, none of this would have happened."
“Since God let you live, it's because He wants you to live a better life. Why dwell on the bad Besides, didn't you say you wanted revenge Then you have to plan carefully, not blindly seek it. As the saying goes, a gentleman seeks revenge for ten years but never fails. You are powerless now, but one day, you will be able to do it.”
"I…"
Autumn's words reached her lips, but she swallowed them back.
How could she possibly tell Feng Lingxi that she would never be able to achieve revenge without dyingf fish soup. Suddenly, her stomach churned, and she felt nauseous from the fishy smell."Ugh..."Feng Ling hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. This sudden nausea took her aback, and when she reac...
