because they had inside help. Now that we are defending it, attacking Liu Xi County will be much different."Feng Lingxi’s eyes swept across the two sides of this valley. This terrain, if ambushed her..."If there's anything, just say it."

Feng Lingxi walked to the pavilion and sat down. Xiaoli had someone bring tea, and Luoli then said, “I knew you had come down the mountain, so I came to find you and tell you about your mother.”

Hearing that her mother had news, Feng Lingxi's fatigue vanished instantly.

"Did my mother really go to the Ghost Saint Country"

“Yes, she went back to the clan, but she left during the Lantern Festival. The elders didn't tell me where she went, only that it was her mother's wish to let us tell you this. She wants you to rest assured that she knows about you succeeding as the Saint Master and asks you to take good care of the Yao clan. Don't look for her anymore. She'll come back if she misses you.”

"She's a pretty open-minded person."

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes darkened slightly. She took care of the Yao clan, but she herself lived a carefree life.

"Feng Lingxi, your mother is a very special person. Don't worry about her. Perhaps one day when she comes back to you, she can do you a big favor."

"Oh"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li's mysterious expression, "You might as well tell me, how can you help me out"

Luo Li shrugged, “I don’t know about that. Once the Saint Lord of the Yao clan abdicates, they will be freer. As for what she will do, I don’t know, and you shouldn’t ask.”

Feng Ling lowered her head, thinking about what had happened recently. She said softly, "I won't ask any more questions. As long as she's fine, I'll be relieved. There are so many things for me to deal with here. When I finish them and she comes back, she'll know that she won't be unsafe anymore."

That's all she could do, and that's all she wanted to do.

Her mother had done so much for her, she also wanted to give her mother a safe home.

As Dugu Xiu said, everyone in the world wants this throne. They don't want it, but if one day the court can no longer accommodate them and they are forced to, she will take it with Dugu City, not for power, but for a place to settle down.

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's helpless expression in her eyes, thinking about what she had done in the Yao Clan these days. Her people had said it all, she was still a kind and merciful person after all. Under her leadership, the Yao Clan had already accepted her as their Saint Master and respected her deeply.

She was indeed a good choice for the Sacred Master, as she said, she didn't like the Sacred Master, but if she sat on it, she would make people fear and dare not challenge her.

"When are you returning to Beijing I'll go back with you. There's nothing interesting happening here lately. I heard that those people in Beijing have started causing trouble again. I want to see you fight them."

"It should be these few days, Chieftain. When you return, could you possibly do me a favor"

Feng Lingxi stared into Luo Li's eyes, seeing him nod. "I want to know who is the mysterious force that secretly helps the Fourth Prince's Mansion when I left Beijing."

Luo Li frowned, "Such a thing, shouldn't you be able to find out on your own"

"Chief, you're not idle now, are you It wouldn't hurt to help me, would it"

Luoli took a sip of tea, "Alright, I'll help you check it out later, but I won't dig too deep."

Feng Lingxi nodded. If this matter was indeed done by Luoli, what was her purpose in helping her

Now that she had become the Saintess as he wished, he no longer needed to handle matters for the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Luoli took several sips of tea, her expression unreadable.

Feng Ling Xi's lips curled up slightly, quite satisfied with Luo Li's reaction. If she hadn't guessed wrong, this matter was inextricably linked to Luo Li. However, he didn't want to say it, and she wouldn't ask further. She only needed to know who was responsible.

"By the way, I heard you killed your younger brother Feng Yixuan today. Is that true"

It's not my brother.

When Feng Yi-xuan's name was mentioned, Feng Ling-xi's face immediately darkened, clearly displeased.

"I gave him a chance to live, but he refused it. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Well, you better do something about it or I'll have to."

Luo Li's smile widened at the edge of her lips, "This person is a scourge if they stay."

Feng Ling responded, but when Luo Li saw her expression, she realized she didn't want to talk about Feng Yi Xuan. So Luo Li kept quiet; after all, everything was resolved now, and it was best not to push the issue further.

"Li Wuyan's mother passed away a few days ago, I comforted him for several days. This trip back to the capital, I want to take him with me and find him something to do in the capital city."

"How come so suddenly"

This person was still well during the Lantern Festival, how could they suddenly pass away

"Suicide by poison."

Luo Li looked at her, "We'll tell everyone she passed away from illness."

Feng Lingxi understood. It seemed that Lady Li's promise of protection had been fulfilled, and in her opinion, it was related to Li Wuyan's identity.

"Then what do you intend for him to do in the capital Open a pharmacy"

"This is something that requires your help, Your Highness." Luo Li's expression was serious. "I am not familiar with the capital city."

"I'm not familiar with that either, but Li Wuyan has done me a favor. If he doesn't mind, he could open a clinic. I think he would like it." She had thought about this before. If Li Wuyan could make it happen, she would have a place to go in the capital city afterward.

"If you pay for it, I have no problem."

"Sure."

This time, Feng Lingxi didn't argue with him and agreed to the medical hall matter right away. This surprised Luo Li, who furrowed his brows, "So you get along better with Li Wuyan than with me This medical hall will cost a lot of money, but you didn't even frown."

"He has been kind to me."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's earnest eyes and a smile curved her lips, "Don't I have kindness towards you too Why don't you repay me"

"You have done me favors, but you have also wronged me. Don't forget, on this trip to the Yao clan, how much I sacrificed. You know in your heart." Her first child was taken in by the Yao clan, she owed them nothing, and she certainly didn't owe them anything more.

Feng Lingxi's expression instantly turned cold, and the atmosphere noticeably chilled.

Luo Li touched her nose and stood up, saying, "Just let me know when you're leaving. I'll head back first. Li Wu Yan is in a bad mood, so I need to go comfort him."

Seeing him leave, Feng Lingxi had no intention of leaving. It was early February, and she was about to spend a year here. So much had happened, and she still couldn't understand why her life had been so turbulent.

I suddenly feel envious of Tian Xiaomi. We both came here, yet she can live a carefree life.

Perhaps it was because of their different identities, or perhaps because she chose a different path. If she had walked away far and wide after that night with Dugu City, finding a place where no one knew her, maybe there wouldn't have been so much trouble

This life, one's own choices, no matter how bitter or tiring, must be walked through by oneself.

"Your Highness, it's raining. Let's go back first."

Little Li walked over with an umbrella, Feng Lingxi got up and took it, softly asking, "Little Li, is Dugucheng finished with his work"

"Wait a moment, Your Highness. Why don't you return to your chambers and rest for a while I will let you know when the Lord returns."gxi arched an eyebrow, "Oh, do tell."Ye Shuang took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Feng Lingxi. Looking at the character "Yu" engraved on it, Feng Lingxi frowned, "This jade pendan...
