eyes and hurriedly said, "It was your poison technique that you used against this king back then. As long as you can protect yourself, anything is fine. Don't let them hurt you, understand""Dugu Cheng..." Guessed. "

"Guess"

Ye Xi wore a look of disbelief. This cave was very hidden, and if you didn't search seriously, there was no way to see it. How was this possible

"It was when we were down here that I saw the cave. This valley is hemmed in on both sides by cliffs, and there's nowhere for you to hide. The only possibility is this cave, and even then, it's perched high on the cliff face - it's easy to miss if you don't look closely. I just wanted to come down and see if it was real."

"Why wouldn't the Queen allow anyone else to come This cliff is so high, if one were to slip and fall, it would be either death or serious injury. Doesn't the Queen fear for their safety"

Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi's probing gaze and said lightly, "I'm used to climbing walls, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly. He had forgotten that the princess used to climb over the walls when she went out. It seemed that a woman who could climb walls was quite beneficial after all.

But his courage, he truly admired.

"Thanks to the Princess's courage and meticulousness, otherwise, I and the Young Master would have died here."

Feng Lingxi handed him a bowl of water and said in a low voice, “I’m just guessing. This cave is hidden. As long as you can hold on, you’ll be able to come back in a few days.”

She couldn't wait for them to return, so she came here to look for Dugu City. She was afraid something would happen to him. This arrow was very deep, and his other skin injuries were also troublesome. Besides, there was no food here, making the past few days quite difficult.

"Many thanks to the Princess for coming to our rescue."

Yè Xī knelt on one knee, Fēng Língxī hurriedly helped him up, "What time is it now, let's not do these formalities, just take good care of your injuries and we can talk about it outside."

Ye Xi responded and ate some food, her strength recovered quite a bit.

"Your Highness, how is the Lord doing When will he wake up"

"It should be ready soon."

The main wound on Dugu City was from the arrow. She had applied medicine to it, and treated the superficial wounds as well. Given his physical condition, he should be waking up by now.

That's good.

Night Xi finished speaking, leaning against the rock wall. The pain from his wounds still made his face pale. “Unexpectedly, this time, I was actually calculated by a traitor. It’s really infuriating.”

"Could it be Dugu Xiu"

Besides him, Feng Lingxi couldn't think of anyone else who would take advantage of this opportunity to attack Dugu City.

“It wasn’t him, it must have been someone from the Empress Dowager's side. Looks like the Prince has quite a few people loyal to the Empress Dowager around him. When the Prince wakes up, we need to clean this up properly.”

Otherwise, you might not be so lucky next time.

"How about the grain stores Were they looted"

Ye Xi shook her head. "It wasn't for the grain. I simply wanted to assassinate His Royal Highness."

Feng Lingxi frowned, her brow furrowed. With this in mind, perhaps we could use this incident to expose the mastermind behind it all.

"Ye Xi, I'm going upstairs for a while. You take good care of the Wangye here. I'll be back tomorrow."

Feng Ling Xi handed all the pills on her body to Ye Xi, instructing her on how to use them. Ye Xi looked at her like this, a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what is this..."

"I'll go back and help you find the mole. Your Highness, I ask that you look after him for me until I return."

Feng Lingxi threw out a sentence, tugged at the rope on her body, and Xiao Li, who was sitting on the ground, immediately got up and shouted loudly towards the foot of the rock wall, "Your Highness."

"I want to go up, pull me up."

Feng Lingxi shouted, looking at Ye Xi, "Take good care of the King, I will be back to meet you."

"Rest assured, Your Highness. I would even give my life to protect the safety of His Royal Highness."

Feng Lingxi nodded, grabbed the rope, and scrambled up. Ye Xi watched her agile movements, secretly admiring her. She was indeed skilled at climbing walls. With such agility, she was a great help to the king. What could they possibly be afraid of

Wind Ling Xi climbed up, Xiao Li hurriedly reached out to help her up. Seeing the bloodstains on the princess's body, her face changed drastically. She asked with concern, "Princess, are you hurt"

"I'm fine."

The Little General glanced down at the cliff face and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, where is the King"

Feng Lingxi looked at the anxiety in Xiao Jiangjun's eyes and asked in a low voice, "What's your name"

"My name is Lei Song, and I am a vanguard soldier under General Li's command."

"The lord's condition is not optimistic. He needs to recuperate below. We have more important matters to attend to now, General Lei. Would you be willing to help me"

Lei Song knelt on one knee, "This subordinate is willing to listen to the princess's orders."

"I thank General Lei on behalf of the Lord. When this mission is complete, I will surely report your deeds to the Lord."

Lei Song hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi shared her thoughts with Lei Song, instructing him to have someone keep an eye on this place secretly. She then led the people away, returning to the military camp. When Feng Lingxi and Lei Song returned to the camp, it was already dusk. After dinner, Feng Lingxi began concocting pills in her tent.

Xiao Li stood by her side, watching the queen's composed and calm expression as she occasionally glanced outside.

"Your Highness, are they really going to come out"

“With the king missing, they will naturally investigate his whereabouts. If Lei Song can follow my instructions and lead them to believe in the king’s situation, they will definitely head towards the cliff. At that time, we will capture them all in one fell swoop.”

Xiaoli responded with a nod, her eyes darting nervously outside. Where was the news

Feng Lingxi put the pills into a bottle, packed up all the pill tins, and stood up to tell Xiaoli, "I'm going to change my clothes."

Xiao Li stood guard before the tent. A figure quickly approached, "Your Highness, we have a catch!"

Feng Ling Xi changed into a set of menswear and walked out, taking the medicine powder from the table. "Let's go."

Xiao Li hurried to follow, leading a group of men into the mountain valley and hiding in the shadows.

Inside the valley, a group of people were giggling and moving about in the valley, completely unaware that their actions had already been observed. Watching them take fire and ropes to climb, heading towards the direction of the cave, Feng Lingxi stood alone in black attire on top, watching those people.

"Your Highness, there are about fifty people."

"Lei Song, you take your men and deal with those below. I'll handle the people on this cliff face."

Lei Song glanced at the queen, a little uneasy. He left a portion of his men to help and took the rest to ambush near the valley. This time, he absolutely couldn't let them escape.

"Your Highness, when do we make our move"

Xiao Li watched the black-clothed figure almost reach the mouth of the cave, anxiously asking... Feng Ling Xi looked at Lei Song's side, leading a group of people to quickly flank from behind, knocking down the sentries below and dragging them out.

"Archers, prepare."

Feng Lingxi hissed softly, the archers behind her immediately stepping forward. Their eyes were fixed on the dark figure on the cliff face, a cold glint in their gaze, but they waited for an order that never came.

"Your Highness, they are approaching the cave."

Little Li cried anxiously. Suddenly, Feng Lingxi raised her hand, the crossbow in her sleeve shot down towards the black-clad people below with a whoosh. The crossbow hit one of the black-clad men, causing a scream. This startled the other black-clad men, and they shouted, "There's an ambush!"

"Shoot!"

Feng Ling, with a single command, had the archers unleash a barrage of arrows towards the black-clad figures. From the shadowy recesses of the cliff face, cries of pain echoed as they tumbled down.it to me, and when the time is ripe, I will allow you to return and reunite with your families.”Those captured looked at each other, moved by Feng Lingxi's words."Think about this carefully, I'll give...
