Chapter 259: Seizing Power 13

said icily, "there is no child in your womb yet. It seems you need to try harder.""Bastard."Only then did Dugu Cheng sheathe his sword. The Crown Princess walked over and slapped Feng Linglong across...Dugu Cheng was very pleased, and he pulled her hand to indicate that she should sit down.

“To hear you say such things, this King is truly delighted. Xi'er being able to have the world in her heart, she is indeed the Princess Consort that this King has chosen.” Finishing his words, he gently tapped her nose with affection. Feng Ling Xi swatted away his hand, “What time is it Still making jokes Let’s discuss how to retreat and minimize the damage first.”

Feng Lingxi, after finishing her words, took out a map and spread it open, beginning to lay out a plan.

Dugu Cheng watched as she earnestly explained, truly wanting to know how she had gotten through these past few days. Were these things taught by General Zhang, or were they something she had kept hidden Looking at her now, he felt as though he was seeing the image of her during his usual campaigns and battles.

Every move, every gesture, was just like him.

"My lord, what do you think of what I said"

Dugu City walked behind her and sat down, rubbing his tired brow, "I just got back, let me rest for a while. The current situation in the Galo country and Dugu Xiu doesn't require us to send troops yet. Dugu Xiu can still hold on, we don't need to be so nervous."

Feng Ling Xi was just worried about what was happening with Du Gu Xiu when she saw Ye Xi enter. "Greetings, Your Highness, and my Lady,"

"Get up."

Ye Xi saw the king, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile, "My lord, I just investigated, it seems that Sixth Prince is handling things well over there. There's no need for us to rush over." He had finally gotten a chance to get revenge on the Sixth Prince, how could he let the king go so early

Dugu Cheng was quite pleased with his wicked little thoughts. He glanced at Xi'er, "Did you hear that Dugu Xiu is doing well now. This King will rest first, recuperate and build strength, no need to rush into battle."

Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi, "How is the casualty situation of Dugu Xiu's army"

Ye Xi, upon being questioned by the Crown Princess, instinctively glanced at the King. Seeing that the King ignored him, he hastily replied, "Your Highness, this battle hasn't ended yet. This subordinate is not entirely clear about the extent of our losses. However, since the Sixth Prince sought our help, it must be a serious matter."

Feng Lingxi's face suddenly changed, she suffered heavy losses. Was this the result that Du Gu Xiu wanted

"Send word to Dugu Xiu, tell him to retreat. If he refuses, I will lead my army to attack him."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Dugu Cheng's brows to furrow slightly. Looking into Xi'er's eyes, he saw the ruthlessness within and reminded her, "Xi'er, he can't be withdrawn. The Galo Kingdom won't allow him to retreat. After tasting victory, the Galo Kingdom will inevitably press their advantage and pursue relentlessly, they won't let them live to get out. And once war breaks out, wanting no casualties is impossible."

Feng Lingxi fell silent, clutching the map tightly in her hand.

"I'll take a rest today, but tomorrow I will lead my troops to support the fight. Leave the battle to me. Stay at home, Xier, and wait for good news from me."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng, her expression complicated.

"Will they only stop if there is a river of blood"

For one's own selfish gain, to pile the bodies of soldiers into mountains, even if this world trembles in fear, what meaning does it have What sense does it make for people's hearts to grow cold

"War is merciless, Xier. If they don't die, we will. And today's war is for tomorrow's peace. No one wants war, but no one can stop it."

Feng Lingxi sighed, "I'll leave these matters to you. I'm going for a walk."

Dugu Cheng watched her leaving figure, knowing she wasn't feeling well. It was just that she was still involved too little, giving her some time she would understand. It was just that he had just returned, and Xi'er didn't accompany him either. His heart felt a little lost.hou Cen deeply. She grasped her hand and nodded gently."Rest well, Yao Hua. I'll come back later to give you your medicine. Rest for the night, and you'll be fine tomorrow."Empress Cen nodded, watchin...
