moment that this girl could do such a thing.Wan'er looked at the Fifth Elder, stretched out her hand, and softly called out, "Hug."The Fifth Elder's heart melted when he heard her shout, and he hurrie...With the lives of Feng Yu Mo and countless soldiers at stake, how could he refuse

"Let's wait, Luo Li. This is for the safety of Yu Mo and all the soldiers. You wouldn't want anything to happen to them, would you"

Wind Ling Xi's tears fell from the corner of her eye, brushing down. She felt stifled, sad, angry, and helpless.

"Go back first and await my orders."

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and met the fatigue on Dugu Cheng's handsome face. She nodded slightly, "Alright then, I'll go back first. Remember to tell me if there's any news."

獨孤城應聲，叮囑小璃護送風淩兮回去，目送著他們走遠，這才收回視線。

"Ye Xi, get ready, we're going to Dongmian to take a look."

Dugu Cheng spoke, Ye Xi's face changed drastically, she hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, you just advised the Princess not to go, how come you..."

"I just wanted to check out the crime scene, Xier is not someone I trust alone. You know how she feels about Feng Yu Mo, and I'm worried she might lose control if we go into the mountains. I was only going to take a look around."

Ye Xi responded and quickly ordered his troops to accompany Dugu City to the crime scene on the east side. There were many soldiers guarding the area, preventing anyone from approaching the mountain. Dugu City's arrival surprised the soldiers, who rushed forward immediately.

"The last general pays his respects to the Lord."

獨孤城 glanced at the direction of the mountains and forests. There was actually a mountain road leading up this mountain here.

"My lord, this is the mountain road. The body was found here today. General Li ordered us not to cross this point and to wait here and guard it."

Dugu Cheng stepped forward, and Ye Xi hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Dugu City glanced around. "In broad daylight, what are you asking me to be careful about"

Ye Xi retracted her hand and followed the prince closely, her whole body tensed. Although she didn't believe in ghosts and spirits, this place was truly eerie. People who disappeared always vanished here. She worried about the prince's safety.

Dugu Cheng looked around and didn't see any bloodstains on the ground, which made him wonder.

"When were the three bodies found today, was there any blood on the ground"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, nothing has been found."

Dugu Cheng reached down and brushed the soil with his hand. He looked at the dust on the ground, but there was no trace of blood. That meant that when the bodies were placed here, the blood from their wounds had already dried up.

"Seal off this area. No one is allowed to approach."

Dugu City glanced at the mountain behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly. He drained the blood from the person and threw the body at the entrance of the forest. This was clearly a warning to him. This murderer was really bold.

"My lord."

General Li hurried forward and reported, “This subordinate just received word from the city guard that last night a group of people were seen lurking outside the city gates, attempting to infiltrate Linxi County. They were discovered by the guards on duty and only left at daybreak.”

"Could you tell me what their identity is"

General Li shook his head. Dugu City pondered for a moment and said, "General Li, this king will go back and check the situation. As soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately."

"The last general will obey."

After Dugu City left, he went straight to the city gate. The guard at the gate was not surprised to see Dugu City come. After reporting, this matter would be handled personally by the prince.

After the guard on duty relayed what he had seen last night to Dugu City, Dugu City led his men out of the city to investigate.

Feng Lingxi returned to Chen Wangfu and learned that everything was fine within the mansion, so she went back to her courtyard. Feng Yixuan came to see her with pastries in hand.

"Xier Jie, eat something."

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and squeezed out a smile, "Taking care of Wan'er must have been hard work."

“Wan'er is well-behaved and sensible, I’m not tired at all. Besides, it's Xiaomi who takes care of her. It’s Xi'er, isn't she You look very tired, did you not sleep well”

Before Feng Yixuan arrived, he met Xiao Li and asked about the situation in the camp. Upon learning the current state of affairs, he became very worried. What worried him the most was Sister Xi'er. Seeing her like this truly made him anxious.

"I'm fine, just haven't had enough rest."

Feng Yixuan nodded, the atmosphere was a bit silent, after a while he opened his mouth and said, “Xierjie, I know you are very worried about Yumou’s safety. I am also worried, but what we can do now is just wait. Xiaoli told me that the King doesn't allow you to go out looking for him. The enemy is in the dark, and you are in the light. Acting rashly will only put Yumou in more danger.”

"I know, I haven't done anything."

Feng Lingxi knew Feng Yixuan was here to persuade her, but how could she not worry

That severed finger, just thinking it might belong to Yu Mo, her heart would race with panic.

Feng Yixuan could feel the pressure in Feng Lingxi's heart. She had such deep feelings for Feng Yumoxi, and although he was her brother just like Feng Yixuan, Feng Yumoxi was different to Feng Lingxi.

"Have something to eat and rest for a bit. I'll keep watch here and contact you immediately if anything happens. Take care of yourself, who knows, maybe we'll get some news soon. If you don't rest well, how will you be able to save Yu Mo"

Feng Lingxi nodded and began to eat the food he had brought her.

"Your Highness, someone is requesting an audience with you."

Zhang You came to report, Feng Yi Xuan hurriedly stood up, “Sister Xi’er, I’ll go take a look for you.”

Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks, "I'll go with you."

Three people arrived at the gates of Chen Wang's mansion. Feng Lingxi looked at the little beggar sitting on the stone bench outside Chen Wang’s mansion, her eyes filled with shock.

"How is it you again"

"Your Highness, it's been a while."

The little beggar greeted them with a smile, still wearing the same ragged clothes he had before, patched and torn. But the little beggar's face looked much better than it used to, plump and well-fed.

"Won't you still come to meet people at the temple outside the city"

"The Princess Consort of Chen is truly intelligent, one step ahead, two steps in advance. The Princess Consort of Chen will surely go this time because that person said so."

He knew who was behind the headache.

"What did you say"

Who is he Could it be that Yemo was taken by this person.

"Xier, are you going with him"

Feng Yixuan saw Feng Lingxi wanting to leave, and hurriedly grabbed her arm. Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yixuan, "I'll be back soon." This was the third time already. This person really was patient. She had gone to the capital and returned, yet he was still waiting for her and to meet with her.

Whatever he wanted to say to her, as long as he knew who had kidnapped Feng Yumo, she was willing to go and meet him.

"Your Highness, if you go like this, the King will be worried. Perhaps I should inform the King first and wait for him to return together with you."

He said he only wanted to see Princess Chen, and no one else was allowed to follow.

The beggar's words made Zhang You even more worried, repeatedly stopping him.

"Your Majesty, do not risk it."

“Don't worry,” he said, “he won't hurt the Crown Princess. He just has something to ask her. Don't be nervous.”

The little beggar looked at Feng Lingxi, “I believe the Crown Princess of Chen will be able to understand his sincerity.”

"Who is he to you"

The little beggar grinned cheekily, "My mistress, Princess Consort Chen, are you going to see me or not" "Others I may have deceived you terribly, but Wan'er, I sincerely want the best for her.""Master."Waner called out, Luo Li's eyes softened instantly, reaching out to stroke Waner's head, "Good girl,...
