""I don't care, even if he wants to kill me, I don't care. I've been living through wind and rain for so long, I've never lived for myself. The only time I felt happy was during those two weeks with..."My Lord, the Madam has gone down the mountain."

Ye Xi got the news and immediately reported it. In June, the weather here was not hot. During these few months, Duguo City had been trying every means to mediate between the imperial court and the Yao clan. Now that he heard the news, Duguo City's heart felt like it had been pierced by something, the pain was so real.

"May I bring my child"

"No."

Ye Xi watched the King's eyes relax, and hurriedly added, "She only has Xiao Li with her. My subordinates inquired, this time exposing her whereabouts was a deliberate message released by the princess. The court is likely to receive news soon."

"Find out her address and send her a calling card."

Dugu Cheng's expression was solemn. "Also, pass a message to the court, saying that this king has already discovered Feng Lingxi's whereabouts and is trying his best to bring her back to Beijing. Ask the court to treat Madam Mother and Huanyue well. The Empress Dowager is determined to get Xier, she will not make things difficult for Madam Mother."

Ye Xi responded, "Over the past six months, Your Highness has been 'diligently searching' for his consort here. Secretly expanding his power and achieving military victories, he made up for lost time and delayed matters, earning him this much leeway."

"My Lord, shall I go and inquire of Prince Huangpu He has also been seen in the vicinity recently, he must be here to greet the Princess."

"No need."

When it comes to Huangfu Qingyun, Du Gucheng holds more respect and admiration for him. Although they once competed for Xi'er, Xi'er's time back in the Yaozu clan, his secret help earned Du Gucheng's respect.

"His Majesty trusts him."

"My lord, Huang Xia Chao has come to report."

General Li walked in, holding an envelope. Dugu Cheng opened it and glanced at the contents, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "General Li, you take people to help and clean up those bandits."

After Du Gu Xiu ascended the throne, bandits ran rampant in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Those claiming to overthrow the tyrant were quickly eliminated by him. Several of these bandit leaders were former subordinates of Du Gu Su. In short, everything was orchestrated by Du Gu Su behind the scenes.

Also, tell Huangpu Qingyun that Xi'er has gone down the mountain, and ask him to have someone secretly protect her safety.

Dugu Cheng finished giving his orders, then stood up and went out with Ye Xi.

Only to Duolun City's surprise, when General Li arrived with his troops to help, Feng Lingxi had already apprehended the bandit leaders. What astonished them most was Feng Lingxi's incredible speed. It was jaw-dropping. The bandits weren't completely wiped out but were instead brought back to Yaozu territory by Feng Lingxi and incorporated into her ranks.

In just under a month, Feng Lingxi had wiped out all the bandit leaders near Yaozu. Hearing about the Saint Lord of Yaozu, everyone around her changed color.

"Lord, among these people, the bandit leader is from the Yuan Dynasty, while the rest are commoners from this region. Because of years of war, they have nowhere to settle and thus joined the bandits."

"See that they are all settled in, and also send word to Huangfu Qingyun that I will be going to him later."

Feng Lingxi stretched her limbs, ever since giving birth, she had become a completely different person. She was sharp and decisive in her actions, handling Yao Clan affairs with swiftness and precision. She cleaned up the hidden problems within the clan even better than when she first took charge. All those who posed a threat to the Yao Clan had been dealt with. Now, from top to bottom, the Yao Clan was essentially under her control. She was aware of every little change that occurred outside.

Li Wuyan could be said to have watched Feng Lingxi's transformation with his own eyes. He could only describe her changes as swift and decisive.

Xiao Li told Li Wu Yan that ever since Feng Ling Xi knew about her being hunted outside, Feng Ling Xi changed drastically after giving birth. She became organized and efficient, quickly removing the corrupt elements within Yao Clan. After going down the mountain, she learned about the rampant bandits surrounding their area. In just one month, she cleaned up all the bandits.

With such wrist strength, even surrounding small countries may not possess such swiftness. Moreover, with the Yao Clan Saint Lord personally taking action, surrounding small countries hold a degree of fear towards the Yao Clan. Naturally, no one would dare to oppose her in eradicating bandits.

"Why not go see the little master"

Xiao Li held the little lord, her eyes full of longing. After the princess gave birth to the child, she raised him for three months and then handed him over to Huangfu Qingyun for upbringing. This matter, besides Huangfu Qingyun and the emperor and empress of the Huang Xia Dynasty, no one else knew.

Huangfu Qingyun, this so-called "father," claimed the child as his own. It was normal for the Crown Prince of Arah Xia to have a child, but no one had ever seen him. He was given to the Empress, and no one could see the child.

"I happen to be free these days, so I might as well go see Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi named her daughter Dugu Wan. Although the Yao clan's people didn't want the Saintess to follow the surname Dugu, Feng Lingxi insisted, and the matter was dropped.

"If the young master were to see you, he would certainly be pleased."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were full of a mother's love. Thinking of her daughter, all tiredness vanished.

Upon arriving at the court of Emperor Xia, Huafu Qingyun learned that Feng Lingxi had arrived. He immediately put aside his official duties and hurried back. In just a month's absence, Feng Lingxi had indeed lost a significant amount of weight. Her once delicate waistline, which could be held in one hand, made Huafu Qingyun feel distressed upon seeing it.

"Xier, I heard you wiped out several bandit lairs this time around. Are you alright"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, her eyes filled with urgency, "Qingyun, where is Wan'er"

"My mother is bringing her, I've told her to bring her out, she'll be here soon."

Feng Lingxi responded, taking out a map and handing it to Huangfu Qingyun. "I want to establish the Yao Clan's watchtower here. What do you think"

Huangfu Qingyun spread out the drawing, looking at the location marked on Feng Lingxi's map. It was exactly where the Xia Dynasty went to the Yao Tribe's territory, and the other side was the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Building a watchtower in this position was indeed a good choice, but... it was probably too difficult to suppress.

"The location is good, but I'm worried that the Mongol court might learn about your purpose and it could be detrimental to you. Now that news of you eliminating bandits and descending the mountain has spread, many people in the martial world are keeping an eye on you. This way, you might invite trouble."

"Based on the way an inn operates."

Feng Lingxi pointed at the map. "Building an inn at this location is a good idea. I've been there, and many merchant caravans pass through here. There are also several inns in the surrounding area. My plan is to buy them all up and reconstruct them as Yao tribe surveillance posts."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún frowned slightly, looking at Fēng Língxī who was brimming with confidence. "This way works too. The inn is bustling with people, so it's unlikely to be misunderstood."

"I'd still trouble you with this."

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangfu Qingyun, "I'm currently unable to move freely. I want to establish an inn here as a merchant from the Xia Dynasty. Merchants from the Xia Dynasty doing business here naturally wouldn't attract too much attention, and besides, with the Xia Dynasty's current influence, the Great Yuan Dynasty wouldn't dare say anything."

"They wouldn't dare say anything. This is their territory. Now, with the current situation of the Yuan Dynasty, after swallowing this land, what could they possibly do to me"

Huangpu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, "Do as you please."
