Chapter 627 Conspiracy 123

it. There is so much recorded history in Chinese civilization spanning five thousand years; it's truly astonishing. However, witchcraft is a forbidden practice, and there's no way she would ever...Dug..."You want me to explain what" Dugu City looked at Luo Li, lowering his voice. "We're husband and wife speaking, you shouldn't interfere."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's face full of vinegar, "I didn't expect that even a man's vinegar would be eaten by the Fourth Princess"

A man's jealousy

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes widening instantly, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Feng Lingxi gave them a withering glance. "Don't you know there's something called 'cut sleeve preference' Who knows if you have any feelings for him"

The self-evident nature of vinegar, Feng Lingxi was just like that.

He didn't really like Du Gucheng and Luo Li being too close. It wasn't that he was a "dan shuZhi pre" or anything, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that Luo Li had other feelings for Du Gucheng. This man was very good at hiding his true intentions. All along the way, he said he would protect them, and throughout their journey, not only were there no assassins, but not even a single person who dared to block their path.

The fact that it's so well-protected only proves its extraordinary abilities.

Even Dugu City wouldn't dare claim he could clear all obstacles in his path.

The assassins couldn't all be drunkards and gluttons. The fact that they were handled so easily speaks volumes about Luo Li's strength.

At a young age, the leader of the Yao people. Perhaps, this so-called Yao people is just a name used to deceive the outside world. What's inside, only they know.

"Your Highness, what you said just now truly surprised me. Perhaps it's best for us to maintain some distance in the future."

獨孤城 had been shaken to his core by Feng Lingxi's words. He quickly picked up the sobering wine soup on the table and took a gulp, which finally cleared his head a little.

After breakfast, Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng and Luo Li, “I have something to do, you guys do whatever.”

Little Li hurried to keep up with the princess's steps, Dugong City got up, but was pulled down by Luo Li.

"The Fourth Prince wouldn't really think the Fourth Princess Consort is jealous, would he She was just testing me."

Luo Li gestured for Du Gu Cheng to sit down, watching his nervous expression. "Show the demeanor of the War God King, don't be intimidated by a woman."

You don't understand.

Dugu Cheng hurriedly got up to chase after her. Xi'er's words reminded him that he had lost his composure by staying with Luo Li.

"So you're saying I don't have a woman, and you do"

Luo Li shook her head helplessly, then started eating. A lone figure entered and reported the situation. After listening, Luo Li instructed the person and, after finishing her meal, left the inn.

"Xi'er, listen to this King explain."

Dugu Cheng strode forward, grabbed Feng Lingxi's arm, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I'm not jealous."

"Your Majesty understands, but A'er, wouldn't this frighten the snake"

"He doesn't currently mean us any harm, whatever his purpose may be, as long as he's not an enemy, it doesn't matter. I want to go see General Sun, you should go get some food."

Dugu City watched her leave, returned to the room, changed his clothes and left the inn.

The wind and snow were fierce. After a whole day, the streets were covered in thick snow, with no pedestrians in sight. The street was utterly deserted and freezing cold.

Dugu Cheng arrived at an alleyway, where a figure appeared before him. Dugu Cheng handed over the object in his arms and gave him some instructions before leaving.

"Master, the Fourth Prince..."

"Go and stop that person."

Luo Li's tone was light and airy, like the wind and clouds. As she finished speaking, she saw Dugu Cheng walk in. His brow furrowed slightly before a smile appeared on his face.

"With such heavy snow, why would the Fourth Wang Ye go out"

Dugu Cheng shook the pastry in his hand, "Hong Xi'er, you don't understand."

“To buy food for the Fourth Princess with such a large sum is truly thoughtful.”

Luo Li's smile at the corner of his mouth made Dugu Cheng take out a piece of pastry and throw it to him, "You have your share too. You were implicated by Xi'er's scolding, it was hard work."

Catching the pastry flung by Dugu City, Luoli smiled, "Why don't we have a drink together tonight"

"It's no use today, I still have to accompany Xier. She's in a bad mood."

Dugu City's appearance as a doting husband made Luo Li's smile deepen, but Dugu City seemed not to pay him any mind. He waved at him and said, "This King is leaving first."

"A real wife slave"

Luoli's eyes deepened, watching Dugu City's retreating figure. She opened the pastry and tasted it, then suddenly smiled.

Since last night's conversation with the shopkeeper, Feng Lingxi has been absent-minded. Xiaoli called her several times but she didn't hear anything. Xiaoli had never seen this before and was worried at once.

"Your Highness, do you have something on your mind Why didn't you hear me call you several times"

Feng Ling quickly regained her composure and met Xiao Li's worried gaze. "I was thinking about something just now, I got too absorbed in it. What did you call me for"

"The Lord has arrived."

Xiao Li glanced at Dugu Cheng standing at the doorway. Feng Lingxi glanced over and said nonchalantly, "Why don't you come in"

獨孤城 walked over, looking at Xiaoli with puzzled eyes. Xiaoli also felt puzzled. Just now, the princess was still angry with the king, how come she's fine now

She didn't know how this fickleness of hers came to be.

"Your Highness went out to buy some pastries for you. Do you like them"

Dugu Cheng hurriedly divided the pastries, Feng Ling Xi picked up a piece and took a bite, "Not bad."

"Xier, do you have something on your mind"

Dugu City asked out his confusion, "Do you still hold a grudge against me and Luo Li because we drank together If you are angry, I will not drink with him again in the future. Also..."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Feng Lingxi interrupted him, "I just have some things I can't figure out."

"Is this about you and your senior sister"

Feng Ling Xi nodded, looking at Du Gu Cheng's questioning gaze, collected her thoughts, and looked outside, "Not to mention these, how is the situation outside, when can we set off"

"The wind and snow are heavy, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for another two days."

Feng Ling Xi let out a soft sigh, her beautiful eyes drooping as she looked at the pastries in her hand, but she had no appetite whatsoever.

"How is things on Luo Li's side Has anyone mentioned anything about being followed"

He didn't say that these days at the inn were peaceful and nothing happened. Ye Su also hadn't discovered anyone following him.

Hearing Ye Su's name, Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up. "Dugu City, can you let Ye Su come find me I have something I need his help with."

"This king can't help you"

Dugu Cheng was slightly stunned, a little disheartened. However, what was Xi'er trying to do by hiding this from him

"I want him to find out about the Yao clan for me. You can't leave Luo Li's sight, you should just bring him directly to the inn. He can protect me along the way, and I'll treat him to a meal. I don't think Luo Li will say anything."

獨孤城挑眉,“這樣豈不是更容易讓人好奇你的目的?” Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t this more likely to make people curious about your purpose”

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Naturally not. Luo Li knows that Ye Su is your person. If I summoned him privately, it would indeed easily cause misunderstanding. Bringing him openly would be different."

She let Ye Su enter right under her nose. Luo Li didn't think much of it, while on the other hand, how could Ye Su come without Luo Li letting him walls."This king has no say in palace affairs. It is enough to do one's duty."Dugu City reached out to touch Wan'er's cheek. Taking advantage of the fact that the court wasn't bothering him right now...
