Chapter 628: Conspiracy 124

t. But now, she realized that Dugu Yan wanted only Zi Xing from the beginning to the end.All those love stories, they're all lies.Feng Yu Xi looked at Dugu Cheng silently, then tentatively spoke, "Xi'..."Well said, there's some truth to that. How can this king cooperate"

"Drinking, venting."

Feng Ling's beautiful eyes fell on Du Gu Cheng. Seeing him nod, she smiled knowingly.

獨孤城去風淩兮那冇一會兒,又出去了,回來的時候不但帶回來很多的小吃,還帶了夜溯回來,回到客棧的時候,將小吃都交給夜溯,叮囑道,“你給王妃送過去,保護她的安全。”

Ye Su nodded, carrying the food upstairs.

獨孤城 walked to the opposite side of Luoli and sat down, pouring himself a cup of wine.

Luo Li glanced at Ye Su who was going upstairs, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's this about the Fourth Prince..."

“No wonder people say that it is difficult to raise small people and women. This saying is too right. Brother Luo, how come Xi'er's temper has been so strange these days Didn't I just drink two glasses of wine with you Have I done something wrong to deserve being ignored by her”

"Didn't the Fourth Master buy her pastries"

獨孤城 shook his head, drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and sighed helplessly.

"I ate, but it didn't relieve my anger."

Luo Li chuckled awkwardly, "This Fourth Princess's temper is truly special."

"No, I think she's troubled because of the mother-in-law situation. Just go along with her. After all, you brought your own wife home. You should dote on her no matter what."

Du Gucheng drank another cup of wine, Luo Li watched him like this, her brow furrowed.

The Fourth Princess's personality is quite peculiar. In my many years of travel, I've never encountered a woman like her before. She's unyielding and truly difficult to please. Since the Fourth Prince has chosen her, then I can only say that the Fourth Prince should be prepared for whatever comes his way.

Dugu Cheng frowned, “Actually, Xi'er is quite good to me usually. It’s probably just that time of the month again.”

The wine that was about to reach Luoli's lips was splashed out by Dugu Cheng's words, he really dared to say it.

Upon seeing Luoli cough, Dugu Cheng hurriedly rose and asked, "Luoxiong, are you alright"

"It's fine, I was rude."

獨孤城一臉歉意,“都是本王言語不周,讓落兄笑話了。” Dugu Cheng wore an apologetic expression, "It was this king's careless speech that caused Brother Luo to laugh at me."

Luo Li poured him a drink, "Don't talk about these things, come on, I'll drink with you until we are both tipsy."

Dugu City raised his cup with a hearty air, "Lao brother, please."

They each drank glass after glass, truly drinking themselves into a stupor. They lay sprawled on the table. Feng Lingxi came down after finishing her work and saw Dugu Cheng lying on the table, her brows furrowed. She really meant it, huh

"Xiao Li, tell the people to help Luoli into a room to rest, and also bring Dugucheng back to his room to rest. Tonight, I'll sleep in the shopkeeper's room," Feng Lingxi said and went straight to the shopkeeper's room. The second boy helped her tidy up.

The next morning, Dugu Cheng woke up and saw the hangover soup on the table. He picked it up and drank it. His headache was terrible. Thinking about what he had said to Luo Li last night, he got up, washed up, and went out.

"Your Highness, the snow has stopped. I think we should set off now so as not to waste time."

"How was the inn arranged"

Last night, she rested in the shopkeeper's room and discovered a box filled with books. They were all autobiographies written by the shopkeeper, including the time and place she arrived, as well as every detail that happened to her.

To outsiders, these things might seem trivial, but to her, she felt they contained so much.

The shopkeeper is doing well and appeared here by chance, while she, on the other hand, was not. She was as good as reborn.

"Everything has been arranged according to the princess's wishes. In time, the shop assistant will deliver the yearly accounts to the palace, so the princess can rest assured."

Feng Lingxi nodded, and after a moment she asked, "Xiao Li, do you think I'm being a bit too harsh This inn isn't mine. I've already taken so much money..."

"Your Highness, since it was given to you by your elder sister, it rightfully belongs to you."

Feng Lingxi let out a sigh, "Forget it. When the time comes, I'll take the money and help those in need."

Xiaoli responded with a nod and looked at the Princess as she gazed outside. "I'll go pour you a cup of water," she said.

"Fourth Princess, what refined taste, admiring the snow so early in the morning."

Luo Li got up and walked out, just to see Feng Ling Xi standing there admiring the snow. She walked over and greeted her.

"Haven't had breakfast yet There's some over there. Dugu City should be waking up soon too."

When Du Gu Cheng arrived, hearing Feng Ling Xi's words, a smile appeared on his face. Xi Er understood him well, walked over and sat down at the table, looking at Luo Li's smile, she greeted him, "Luo Brother, you really drank too much last night."

Luo Li let out a stiff laugh, "Don't blame the Fourth Prince, Your Highness. It was all my fault last night. I had too much to drink and dragged him along with me."

Feng Lingxi walked over and sat beside them, looking at the two of them and saying lightly, "Can we set off today The snow has stopped. As long as it doesn't snow, there shouldn't be a problem, right If this continues, we won't even know if we can make it home for the New Year."

"Master, you cannot leave today. It's impossible to travel fifty li outside."

The attendants around Luo Li hurried forward to explain. Feng Ling Xi frowned, "Why can't we pass Has the heavy snow blocked the way"

"An avalanche blocked the road, and our people are already clearing it. It'll be at least midday before we can move, and if we set off at midday, we won't reach the next resting place on time unless we spend the night on the way."

Feng Lingxi's brow furrowed slightly. She knew how cold it could be to spend the night on the road in snowy weather, so this was indeed too risky.

"We'll be leaving tomorrow, it's going to be windy and snowy these next two days. Maybe we can stop for a bit during that time."

He stepped back, watched Feng Lingxi nod, and instructed, "Continue cleaning. Report immediately if you have any news."

"Master, the Yao clan has something to report."

The attendant glanced at Feng Lingxi, his expression hesitant.

Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing about the Yao clan. Naturally, she wanted to know the whereabouts of her mother.

"What's up"

Luo Li is also generous, she doesn't intend to avoid Feng Ling Xi, however, this way is also what Feng Ling Xi wants.

There are rumors circulating within the Yao clan that a mystery has been discovered at the Water Pool in the forbidden zone. However, the situation is unconfirmed and it's unclear if it is related to the Holy Master.

"Is there a mystery beneath the pool"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, "Does that mean there's another hiding place under the pond"

Have someone investigate and let me know if you find anything.

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's curious eyes and explained, "The pond is covered in ice because of the severe wind and snow. I asked them to go investigate first, but whether we can find out what's underneath the pond will take some time."

"If my mother fell into the pond, perhaps there would be a sliver of hope."

Luo Li nodded, “Beneath this forbidden cliff's edge, no one has ever descended. The Yao clan hasn't seen such a situation in a millennium. Your mother is perhaps the only one who knows the mysteries beneath the water pool.”

Feng Lingxi glared at him, "If it weren't for the Yao clan's problems, my mother wouldn't have ended up like this. The Yao clan has internal management issues, and none of you so-called superiors have any say in the matter. If you hadn't said so much, I truly would have thought my mother was the highest authority in the Yao clan."y the Empress Dowager was.“So, you’re saying they want to know if you've recovered your memory”After Yao Wan Ying finished asking, Feng Ling Xi only then came back to her senses. Looking at the deep t...
