ves by looking forward, and I still have a lot of things to deal with. The internal strife within the Yao clan has me with no grasp on the situation at all. That Yao Zhi is so evil, and I don't know h..."Dugu Xiu"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, and Dugucheng hummed in response, his expression solemn.

"This king guessed it was him, but according to the news I received, he shouldn't have arrived this soon."

"That explains why Feng Yixuan went to Linxi County but didn't come looking for trouble. He probably went to greet Dugu Xiu and went to the Dan Liao tribe with him." It seemed that she wouldn't find anything by staying here tomorrow either.

“I think the same way, Xi'er. When do you plan to return to Yao Clan This place is no longer safe. If Du Gu Xiu knows you're still here, he will definitely come looking for you and take you back to the capital with him. He came here by imperial decree, so it’s difficult to disobey.”

"I was planning to go back the day after tomorrow, but given the current situation, I think I'll leave for Yaozhu tomorrow morning. Staying here wouldn't be necessary." It would even cause her trouble. Duguo City had things he could delay, but she couldn't say the same.

Dugu Cheng responded, “That’s fine then. This king will escort you back to the Yao clan tomorrow morning. After I'm done, I'll let you know when to head down the mountain and return to Beijing.”

Feng Ling Xi responded with a sound, snuggling into his arms. "Dugu Cheng, can you really handle this Dugu Xiu is a tough opponent this time."

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me. Remember, this is my territory."

Dugu Cheng stroked Feng Lingxi's hair. Although he was reluctant, for Feng Lingxi's safety, he had to send her back.

Go to sleep early, you have to take the carriage tomorrow morning.

Du Gu Cheng kissed her forehead. Although they had to be apart for a while, he still resisted the urge to do more, worried about Xi Er's fragile body and not wanting to trouble her.

Feng Lingxi, hearing that he had let her go, fell asleep in his arms.

The next morning, Feng Lingxi set off in order. Duguling personally escorted her back to Yaozu. After they left, Luoli only then learned that they had returned to Yaozu. Upon learning of the news of their early departure, he inquired about the reason but did not ask further.

Du Gucheng returned to Linxi County after sending the envoy to Yaozu's entrance. The parting this time wasn't filled with much sorrow; both of them went back to their respective territories and busied themselves with their own affairs.

Dan Liao Tribe

Dugu Xiu sat in the council hall, along with Yelu Hong, listening to his subordinate's report. His handsome face quickly sank.

"Who exposed my whereabouts Shouldn't you have kept yourselves hidden"

"Sixth Prince, please forgive me. I don't know why I was discovered. Fourth Prince's people are truly everywhere."

獨孤修的氣頭上的青筋凸起，猙獰的表情讓一旁的風易軒皺起了眉頭。

"Sixth Prince, Windling Xi is now the Holy Lord of Yao Clan. This place is her territory. Our whereabouts must have been exposed. She doesn't want to go back with the prince. It seems like it's because of the Fourth Prince."

"Feng Yixuan, this king remembers that Feng Yumò is your brother. He is currently at the city lord's mansion in Linxi County. When Dugu City is away, he manages Linxi County. Find a way to get close to him, this king wants him to pledge allegiance to me. You might be able to do it."

"Sixth Prince, this matter is probably impossible. Feng Yu Mo belongs to Feng Ling Xi. Wanting him to submit is harder than killing him. Moreover, he has no weaknesses, making him impossible to threaten." Feng Yi Xuan raised an eyebrow. After this period of training, Feng Yi Xuan had become much more composed and would analyze things before acting. To him, killing Feng Ling Xi was not difficult, but making her live a life worse than death was.

"Sixth Prince, this little one has a way, I wonder if it can be of help"

Yelü Hong spoke first, and Dugu Xiu watched him. Yelü Hong narrowed his eyes, a calculating glint appearing in his gaze, "Why doesn't King Liu attack from Dugu Cheng He isn't the invincible war god he used to be."

This isn't wrong, this Dugu City is truly not the same invincible god of war as before. After marrying Feng Lingxi, it seems that the title of "War God" has disappeared with him.

"Well then, perhaps I could trouble you with a suggestion, Master Ye"

Dugu Xiu and Yelü Hong looked at each other, the smiles of understanding on their faces made Feng Yixuan lower his head, a trace of triumphant calculation hidden deep in his eyes.

Feng Lingxi returned to the Yaozu. The Yaozu people knew she was back and came out to greet her. The treatment they gave her was worlds apart from before the enthronement ceremony. Now, in their eyes, Feng Lingxi's status as the true Saint Lord was unshakeable, her majesty and position unmatched by anyone.

Even though Luo Li didn't return this time, the tribe members still respected her deeply.

"Little Li, take a rest today. Tomorrow, you'll help me with some errands. Although I'm back, the clan members are still out. Handling minor affairs is still possible. We need all the news about Dayuan Dynasty and Feng Yi Xuan Du Gu Xiu."

"I understand."

Feng Lingxi took off her cloak and threw it aside. She looked at the hot water prepared inside the Temple of the Virgin, undressed and bathed, carefully thinking about what had happened recently. She had to be more serious in her actions, lest she be schemed against.

Since Empress Cen desired the treasure and it couldn't be given to her, he had to find a way to get her to stop asking about it.

So many people in the court want Empress Cen dead. If she could strike them, once Empress Cen was gone, this matter would be resolved. But how to do it, she still couldn't be sure.

"Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Prince requests an audience."

After her bath, Xiaoli glanced at Shi Fourteen who was waiting outside the door. Since she recovered from her injuries, Shi Fourteen had been running errands outside, secretly protecting the safety of the princess. Just like Shi Fifteen, both of them were extremely capable.

"Let her in."

Feng Lingxi had not yet dressed, when she saw Fourteen enter. After paying her respects, Fourteen spoke, "Your Majesty, are you certain that Feng Yixuan and Dugu Xiu are with Yelü Hong in the Dan Liao tribe"

What's Yelu Hong like as a person Check that out for me. Also, have Yao Yi come find me tomorrow morning, I need to ask him something.

Fourteen retreated upon hearing the words, Xiao Li looked at the princess's thoughtful eyes in confusion, "Princess, this Yao Yi doesn't even serve as an elder now, what do you want him to do for you"

"Yao Yi knew very well what Yao Zhi had done before. I plan to send him to the Dan Liao tribe. No matter how Yelu Hong is, he won't do anything to Yao Yi. Besides, the Yao clan treasure is such a big piece of fat, there's no reason why Yelu Hong wouldn't be interested."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and gave Xiao Li a 'do you understand' look. Xiao Li suddenly realized, "Does the princess want Yao Yi to go and probe Yelu Hong's words"

"Good. Now that I've become the Saint Master of the Yao Clan, those elder elders must be filled with dissatisfaction. If he were to go, this Yelu Hong might believe him only half the time. But even that 50% is enough to probe Yelu Hong's intentions. Most importantly, I need Yao Yi to help me figure out the situation of Dugu Xiu and Feng Yixuan in the Dan Liao Tribe."

I won't say anything else, but these elders definitely have some dissatisfaction with her in their hearts. If they let it all out, it would be enough.

Yao Yi is a smart man, he helped her get this done. After this, his status in the Yao clan, and his position in her heart, will certainly rise considerably. He may not have been able to become an elder, but that doesn't mean others in his family can't. and smiling, "Xi'er, this king will take you for a walk."Feng Lingxi was being led out by him and hurriedly asked, "Where are we going"Dugu City held her hand and had already left the palace.
