angry and withdrew her hand."It's fine, but you almost got me killed just now."Du Gu Cheng pulled her aside and sat down, reaching out to rub the bruised area. "Where's your medicine Let me rub it for..."Don't you think Xi'er is pretty valuable"

The corners of Dugu City's lips widened into a smile. "I wonder if this king's life is worth as much as Xi'er's."

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly. Does this King suspect that the Crown Princess is worth more than him

"My Lord, ten thousand taels of gold is quite a sum, but wouldn't the Princess be angry if she found out"

Dugu Cheng laughed, "Ask the queen yourself, will she accept"

Ten thousand taels, such a good price, how could you possibly refuse it.

They are in dire need of money right now. Isn't this the kind of scheme that Tianxiang Building is involved in

He didn't say he would definitely complete the task once he accepted it. Besides, how else would he know who this buyer was Someone who could afford to spend 100,000 taels of gold for a head wasn't some small fry like you.

Du Gu Cheng's lips curved into a smile, but the coldness in his eyes was chilling.

Ye Xi didn't say much. The princess's personality was truly hard to figure out.

Dugu Cheng returned to the inn, watching Feng Lingxi playing with Dou Wan'er. He walked up to her and sat down in front of her.

"Is this over already"

"Xier, how much do you think you're worth"

Dugu Cheng poured himself a glass of water. Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow curiously, "What do you mean Is there someone else who wants to hire an assassin to kill me"

"Hmm."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's smile at the corner of her lips, "Guess."

"That's really hard to say, you see they've always wanted to kill me and now they're after you, at least a hundred thousand to start."

Dugu Cheng's smile widened, "My woman is so clever, she guessed it right away."

"I'm talking gold."

Dugu City nodded, "I know, I said it too."

Feng Lingxi's face was filled with shock. "It really is 100,000 taels of gold"

"Very valuable, right"

Feng Lingxi frowned, her expression turning serious. "Someone offered 100,000 taels of gold to kill me"

"Indeed, ten thousand taels of gold is quite valuable."

"Did you get it"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, looking at Dugucheng's expression, wishing she had been there at the time.

"Your Majesty the Queen, her Royal Highness..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You won't refuse, will you One hundred thousand taels of gold, and after this, such a huge deal! If you don't accept it, you'll be sleeping outside tonight."

Ye Xi's eyes widened in shock, almost popping out of their sockets. The princess really was...

"Got it."

Dugu Cheng raised the corner of his lips slightly, "If I don't accept it, others will. Water that is meant to nourish will not flow into an outsider's field, Xi’er, you agree, right"

"Of course, with this money, the soldiers' pay will be secured."

Most importantly, she wanted to know who had come up with such a generous sum. Next time, she'd bring herself along. Ten thousand taels of gold was no small matter, so she would make sure to give the person a hefty gift, letting them know just how formidable Feng Lingxi was.

"Your Highness, are you not angry"

Night Xi really couldn't understand, how could anyone be so happy after hearing that someone was hired to kill her.

"What's there to be angry about Are they trying to kill me" Ye Xi nodded, Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "There are plenty of people who want to kill me. If they have the money, why don't they just try Besides, do you think he would actually kill me for the money"

"Of course not, would this king be the kind of person who would kill his own wife for money"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "It's just money delivered to our doorstep, it wouldn't be good if we didn't accept more."

Dugu Cheng nodded in agreement, "So, next time someone wants my life, you give them a dose of poison. Remember to charge them well, don't undervalue your services."

"Understood, one hundred thousand gold to start." Feng Lingxi seemed to have discovered a business opportunity, her eyes gleaming mischievously, calculating something.

Suddenly, I feel that the couple is so valuable. It seems that this cherishing of life is truly worth cherishing.

"My Lord, what if someone takes a liking to Wan'er someday"

Ye Xi curiously looked at Wan'er. This little ancestor's price would definitely be higher, right

“Who would dare to target Wan'er Do you think those ten elders of the Yao clan are just eating their meals for free Wan'er is the future successor of their Yao clan. If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, we won't even need to lift a hand; they will deal with it themselves.”

If it weren't for Wan'er's presence in the Yao tribe, they wouldn't have accepted her and wouldn't have allowed her to be taken away. At the very least, during those eight and a half years she was raised by them until she was ten years old, they would have protected her safety. It just so happens that we should investigate exactly why it was at the age of ten.

"Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng called out several times before Feng Ling Xi came to her senses, looking at him. "You're calling me"

"How did you get lost in thought"

"So absorbed in thought, I wouldn't hear you even if you shouted."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "Do you have something you're hiding from me"

"No, I was just thinking, why did the elders take Wan'er to the Yao clan at age ten and have her inherit the position of clan leader What could a ten-year-old child do They clearly don't have the capacity. I think there must be something I don't know. I'm thinking, in these next eight and a half years, I need to find a way to figure it out."

“Take Wan’er away at the age of ten” Dugu City frowned, seeing Feng Lingxi nod. “If it weren't for Wan’er being disobedient in the Yao clan, I wouldn't have brought her down at all. It's just that I find it strange why they didn't mention any conditions to me, they just asked Wan’er to return to the Yao clan when she was ten.”

They took Luoli away, wouldn't it be to see if they could raise her After all, she is Wan'er's biological mother. She has no use value for them.

Perhaps she knew.

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "When she's willing to speak, I think the answers I want will perhaps come to me."

Dugu Cheng said she was Qiu'er, the only one who could give them the secret of the Ghost Saint Kingdom Yao clan. He took her back and kept her by his side, hoping that he could open her heart and learn her secrets.

Autumn's injuries had healed, but she spoke little, and even less to Shangguan Huan. Every day, Shangguan Huan did nothing but attend to her needs, from food and clothing to shelter and movement. When she remained silent, he did too. Their relationship seemed to have entered a cold war, or perhaps it was simply a new way of interacting.

"Qiuer, how is your health"

Feng Lingxi asked, looking at Shangguan Huan eating with such concentration, she really couldn't figure out how he got along with Qiu'er.

"Much better, thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi gave her the pills she had refined, "This is for regulating your body. Remember to take one after meals to heal your internal injuries."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Autumn received it, still the same. Feng Lingxi several times words to her lips again swallowed back. She really wanted to ask who the enemy of Yaozu was

The High Elder or someone else

But the Elder's possibility is particularly high. She could tell Dugu Cheng to abandon the Falling Leaves Gang, which means her relationship with Falling Leaves isn't bad. This eliminates this possibility, leaving only the Elders.

Those elders, each with white hair and beard, were healthy and strong in their martial arts. They weren't to be trifled with. And the granddaughter of the grand elder, she was smitten with someone, arrogant and domineering, acting like she owned the place.

"Is Xinshui really Lu Fei's fiancée"

Feng Ling Xi asked, Qiu Er looked up, meeting Feng Ling Xi's curious gaze and hurriedly explained, "I was just curious. When I was in the Yao tribe, Luo Li treated Xinshui very poorly, saying he would never marry her. I saw that Xinshui seemed determined to marry Luo Li no matter what, so I was just curious and asking. If you don't want to say, then it's okay."h worry. The affairs of the court had yet to be resolved, but those of the Yao clan persisted. Now that her mother-in-law appeared and spoke to Xi'er about these things, it was both a warning and a b...
