n as anger flashed in her eyes. “Dugu City actually told everyone this Does he even want to relinquish the throne that the former emperor fought so hard to secure”獨孤雁看著母親臉色生氣，臉上也十分難看。“I never expected...So, she became the scapegoat.

Feng Lingxi closed her eyes, unable to calm her turbulent emotions.

The information Luo Li gave her was truly beyond her capacity to bear. She had dealt with the Yaozu matters, sat in the position of the Saint Master, and maintained contact with the Yaozu to stabilize their situation. However, she was unaware that the Yaozu's internal affairs were far from clean.

Behind all the flattery, there lurk the sharpest knives.

Behind your back, silently piercing your heart.

"Now I've told you everything, I just hope you can think clearly about cooperating with Empress Cen. I don't want to reach a day when I have to attack you myself."

Luòlí's words caused Fēng Língxī to raise her eyes, meeting the struggle and entanglement in Luòlí's eyes. Suddenly, she understood.

"It was them who told you to find me, wasn't it"

These elders of Luo Li are clearly aware of her alliance with Empress Cen. Enraged, they want to take action against her.

These Yao people are ridiculous. When they needed her, they considered her the Saint Master's heir. Now that they don't need her anymore, they're trying to figure out how to get rid of her.

The Lord's position and the four queens' positions are all the same, none of them are comfortable to sit on.

Dugu Cheng swallowed the words that were about to leave his lips, looking into Luo Li's eyes filled with warning. He unconsciously clenched his fists.

“I hope you can understand.”

"Luo Li, you're being too verbose."

Feng Lingxi turned around, her eyes icy cold. "How I, Feng Lingxi, conduct myself is none of your concern." With that, she left with Xiao Li. Dugu City wanted to chase after them, but Luo Li stopped him. "Don't tell her the host's identity. In the current situation, she might be able to turn things around."

Dugu Cheng looked at Luoli's pleading eyes and suppressed the displeasure in his heart, "Luoli, is it really good to force Xier like this She's only..."

She's already married and become the Holy Master of Yao Clan, and besides, she has the ability. Don't forget what Huangfu Qingyun told you.

Dugu Cheng chased after them. Luoli took a sip from the wine glass on the table, her gaze turned to the street below, watching Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli. Her eyes narrowed slightly, "Pass the word down, the cooperation between Empress Cen and the Yao clan is terminated."

Feng Lingxi left Tianxiang Lou, her mind filled with Luoli's reproachful words. It wasn't until the end that Feng Lingxi understood what she should do: be herself, rather than compromising and seeking appeasement.

"Xiao Li, prepare the horse and leave the city."

"Your Highness, are you not waiting for the Master"

Xiao Li nervously glanced upstairs, hoping the King wouldn't stay up there.

"Luo Li was right, I shouldn't have cooperated with Empress Cen. Most importantly, I shouldn't have been merciful."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were cold, sending chills down one's spine. In this present Great Yuan Dynasty, who wouldn't care if someone else disappeared

Xiao Li worriedly looked at the princess, "I'll go right away."

"Just a moment."

Feng Lingxi called out to Xiao Li, "Let's go together, don't separate."

Luo Li said that if she left the city now, she might be ambushed. She should still take precautions.

Xiao Li nodded, fetched her horse, and was about to leave when she heard Dugu City's voice calling behind her, "Xier, where are you going"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City following out, and said to him, "You go back to the mansion first, I'll go out of the city for a while, and be back soon."

Dugu City climbed onto her horse, encircling her in his arms, and whispered softly, "This king will go with you."

"There's really no need for that."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I know what I should do now, and what I shouldn't."

"Then you know how dangerous it is to leave the city now Did you hear what Lao Li just said"

Dugu Cheng's voice held a hint of anger. Looking at her insistence, he was increasingly worried that she would do something reckless.

"Don't you trust me"

Feng Lingxi countered, staring at Dugu City's furious expression. A cold light flashed in her eyes. She broke free from his embrace, mounted Xiao Li's horse, and rode away, leaving Dugu City standing there, frowning.

Why don't you trust her

He worried about her safety; why couldn't she just understand.

Luo Li said that it's dangerous to leave the city, so why take the risk

Dugu Cheng didn't understand, but Feng Lingxi knew the purpose of her leaving the city. The Yao clan's foothold had someone she wanted to protect, and this person had to live.

As soon as the two of them reached the city gate, they were stopped. Feng Lingxi frowned slightly as she looked at the guards at the gate.

The Fourth Princess is to remain, the Empress Dowager has decreed that the Fourth Princess is not to leave the city.

Feng Lingxi frowned, "When was the order given I have no knowledge of it."

"This morning's order just came down, I hope the Fourth Princess won't make things difficult for me."

Feng Lingxi's anger surged in her chest. It seemed that Empress Cen already knew Luoli had returned.

"Your Highness, what shall we do"

"Go back."

Feng Lingxi turned her head and went back to the city, whispering to Xiaoli, "You go find the people from our clan in the city to come see me."

Xiao Li responded and, as Feng Lingxi returned to the prince's mansion, she saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. It was a carriage from the Pingnan Wangfu. Hearing the noise, someone came down from the carriage - it was Xiao Simu.

"Fourth Princess, may I have a word with you"

"Talking about the Young Master Xiao's household"

"No need, just say it outside."

Xiao Simu made a gesture for them to come over. Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli got into the carriage and went to a teahouse in the city center.

"Fourth Princess, I'm here to see you again about that matter. I wonder if the Fourth Princess might change her mind"

Feng Lingxi reached out to him, Xiao Simu's face lit up with joy as he handed her the box.

"The Fourth Royal Consort, remember this: never let the venomous insects enter your body."

Feng Lingxi responded, handing the box to Xiaoli. Looking at Xiao Simu, her opinion of this young master Xiao had changed. How did he know she would change her mind

"The Fourth Princess must be wondering, why did I come to you today to talk about the thing you refused a few days ago"

Feng Lingxi responded, and Xiao Simu smiled, "Lady Four just went out of the city and was stopped, wasn't she"

"Do you know"

Xiao Simu nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi's suspicious eyes. "Yesterday I heard what my father said, the Empress Dowager restricted you from leaving the city. At that time, I asked my father, he said he didn't know why the Empress Dowager did this, she must want to protect the safety of the Fourth Princess."

Feng Lingxi nodded and looked at Xiao Simu. He said again, “Now many people outside want the life of the Fourth Princess, does the Fourth Princess know”

How much did you bid

Feng Ling Xi suddenly asked a sentence, Xiao Si Mu's expression was slightly startled, Feng Ling Xi stared at him coldly, "Young Master Xiao should know how much money they are offering for my life now, right"

Xiao Simu held a teacup, taking a sip with a conflicted look in her eyes.

"Does the Fourth Princess truly want to know"

"Do you think I'm joking with Young Master Xiao"

Xiao Simu could tell Feng Lingxi wasn't in a good mood today, and he didn't want to anger her. After all, he needed her help right now.

She could already help him study gu worms, which was very difficult.

"One thousand taels of gold."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort. "That's all you have"

Xiao Simu frowned, "Fourth Princess, it's best you remain cautious. Leaving the city is dangerous; staying within the Emperor's domain would be safer."er spending another day wandering around, he could feel the princess's intense anger from across the street.Dugu Cheng was frightened by Ye Xi's words, no wonder Xi'er didn't even raise her eyelids wh...
