Chapter 685: Yao's Chaos 55

r the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince to change into."Feng Lingxi ordered the maidservants guarding outside to let in Dugu City and Huangfu Qingyun, who were standing at the door dumbfounded. "Come...If one's own origins cannot be told to others, how could Feng Ling hide it from Xiao Li and watch her worry for him.

Now she could only say so much, hoping time would prove that Tian Xiaomi wouldn't really hurt her.

"Since the Queen has said so, your servant will obey your orders."

Xiao Li retracted her gaze, her hesitant expression made Feng Ling Xi feel heartache, but she couldn't tell her more.

When Dugu City returned, it was already time for dinner. Looking at Xi'er's smile, he walked to her side and subconsciously tightened the fox fur on her shoulders, a warm gesture that envied onlookers.

"Why are you back so late"

Dugu City's fatigue was evident on his face. He hadn't slept well these days. His carelessness during the search for Yao WanYing had caused panic among the surrounding tribes. Now, the tribe leader was restless, and General Li told him that the tribal forces were becoming impatient and might launch an attack soon.

He had just finished dealing with this matter when news came from the imperial court, inquiring about the status of the Yao clan issue. They said that the Yao clan hadn't continued to pursue Xi'er, and urged him to seize the time to retrieve the Yao clan's treasure.

All these things piled together, and what angered him most was that Xi'er had saved Feng Yixuan, yet now Feng Yixuan wasn't in the capital. His informants reported that Feng Yixuan had already reached the border.

Du Gu Cheng received news that things were far worse than he thought. The capital city was shrouded in chaos, and Du Gu Yu and Du Gu Xiu were constantly seen together. He knew exactly what this meant. Furthermore, the situation in Liangzhou was extremely unstable. Du Gu Yan urged him to return to the capital immediately to handle matters and, if necessary, deal with Du Gu Yu decisively.

Wind Lingxi saw Dugu City lost in thought, and reached out to wave her hand in front of him. Only then did he pull his gaze back and look at Wind Lingxi, his eyes softening.

"Some trivial matters, let's eat first."

Dugu Cheng grabbed her wrist and walked into the dining hall, others followed slowly.

Feng Yu Mo's eyes had already adjusted, only the rims were slightly red. Li Wu Yan checked him and said it was normal, telling him to rest more, nothing else was serious.

Tian Xiaomi told Feng Lingxi that she wasn't feeling well and couldn't come. Feng Lingxi knew, Tian Xiaomi just felt a little awkward being around her and Yu Mo together, so she avoided it and didn't want to be with Yu Mo.

However, this is a good thing after all, because they are still young. Since none of them have any intention, don't force it, just let nature take its course.

Feng Yumo learned that Tian Xiaomi was unwell, asked a couple of questions, but didn't say much. After all, his sister had said, Tian Xiaomi wasn't his maidservant, and he couldn't pry too much.

"Fourth Princess Consort, later I will show you my mother's condition. Please don't hesitate to tell me if there's anything you need."

After entering the city, Li Wuyan learned about Feng Lingxi and Dugu City's identities, but his attitude did not change because of their status. To him, they were a transaction, give and take, unrelated to identity.

Just as he knew Luoli's identity was the leader of the Yao clan, he simply glanced at it indifferently without a ripple in his heart.

Perhaps after experiencing the mundane affairs of the world, Li Wuyan no longer cared about these reputations and had grown indifferent to them all.

"It's still early after lunch. Let's discuss it together later."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at Dugu City beside her, "You go back to rest first, I'll be back later."

Dugu Cheng nodded, agreeing with Feng Lingxi's approach. He never imposed restrictions on her as long as she was safe, and he wouldn't interfere too much.

After dinner, Feng Lingxi took Xiaoli to Li Wuyan's courtyard. Looking at the scroll Li Wuyan took out, it recorded his mother's illness over the years, including prescriptions and treatments, in great detail.

The scroll was very full, Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li beside her and said to Li Wu Yan, "She saved me before and suffered serious internal injuries. Can you help me see if there is any way to heal her"

Luo Li saw the wind soaring and raised Xiao Li, saying to Li Wu Yan, "A Yan, she's the maidservant I told you about. You can help her take a look."

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised that Luo Li had actually brought up Xiaoli's internal injuries in front of Li Wuyan. This was unexpected.

"Follow me."

Li Wuyan didn't want to disturb Feng Lingxi, so he let Xiao Li go to the side. Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and began to look at the records on the scroll.

Feng Ling read carefully. According to the records, her mother's illness was erratic and caused her to become increasingly thin. However, based on this prescription, there shouldn't be no effect.

Feng Lingxi narrowed his eyes, looking closely and comparing, feeling that it was very possible that his mother was hiding something from him, or perhaps, she didn't feel comfortable talking about her illness.

"Li Wuyan, according to your records above, your mother's illness is not incurable. It's just recurrent and intractable, unable to be cured. I need to see her tomorrow to make a definitive diagnosis."

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, wanting to speak but stopping himself. After a while, he nodded slowly.

"Well, she doesn't want to talk to me much. Maybe she'll talk to you."

"This is natural, women understand each other better. Since I promised you, I will definitely do my best."

Feng Lingxi put the scroll away, “I’ll take this back and have a look again. I’ll go with you to see a doctor tomorrow morning.”

Li Wuyan nodded, looking at Xiaoli, and said softly, "Her internal injuries can be cured. I will give her acupuncture and adjust her body. With proper care and recuperation for a period of time, she will fully recover."

Feng Lingxi, seeing Xiao Li's delighted expression, quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Xiaoli's injuries are a bother to you."

Li Wuyan nodded and said to Luoli, "Tomorrow, you don't have to go with me."

Luo Li had wanted to say something, but still couldn't bring herself to speak. She just nodded her head.

"Fine."

Feng Lingxi looked at the exchange of glances between the two, it seemed, there was indeed something unspoken between them.

Let's head back now, see you tomorrow.

Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li out, the excitement on Xiao Li's face was unconcealable, she chased after Feng Lingxi's footsteps, "Princess, can you really cure Doctor Li's mother"

"You'll know when you go and see tomorrow. The records on this scroll aren't that complicated either. I think it's because Li Wuyan's mother was a little embarrassed and didn't feel comfortable telling her son the details."

Xiao Li nodded and followed the princess's steps. When they reached the door, they saw Feng Yu Mo waiting there. Seeing them return, Feng Yu Mo seemed noticeably nervous.

"Yu Mo, is there something you need"

Feng Yu Mo clutched his hand, his expression stammering, which made Feng Ling Xi's brows furrow slightly.

What happened

"Sis, could that one go back with me to Little Mi I want her to follow me."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yu Mo's nervous expression. Her beautiful eyes narrowed, "Your eyes are healed, why do you still need her to take care of you She isn't your maidservant."

"I know, it's my empty yard. I wonder if she has any relatives here. When I couldn't see, I promised her she could stay with me. I was afraid she thought I wanted to get rid of her."oy leaves before talking."A country cannot afford internal turmoil, or else these neighboring countries eyeing us hungrily could start a war at any time."By the way, on the eighth day of next month, I...
