g the world, I've returned to find that the court's situation hasn't changed at all. Your actions haven't expanded its influence in any meaningful way. All you've done is inflate the situation, solidi..."Accommodate them"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, “Feng Lingxi has no qualifications to be with the Crown Prince. No matter what her status is, this imperial concubine will not allow her to be with the Crown Prince.”

"Your Majesty, why are you so insistent I believe that Prince Chen has always cared for Feng Lingxi in his heart. If they were truly able to reunite, it would be beneficial for both Prince Chen and the Great Yuan Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, please stop. I can allow the child to return to the Chen Wangfu, but Feng Ling Xi is absolutely not allowed to go back."

"Empress Dowager…"

Emperor Yuan Zhao still wanted to plead for Feng Lingxi, but the Empress Dowager's attitude was firm, she didn't give Emperor Yuan Zhao a chance at all. Emperor Yuan Zhao could only give up this time, hoping that Feng Lingxi could change the Empress Dowager's opinion of her.

Feng Lingxi sneezed. Dugucheng had just made the bed and walked over with her clothes to put on her, "It's late and the dew is heavy, don't catch a cold."

"No need, it's so hot that I can't sleep, how could I catch a cold."

She thought that someone was scolding her behind her back, and she supposed it was true. After all, she had sent out the message, so the stepmother must be furious. She probably scolded her for being shameless and seducing her son.

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a sneer, she wanted to go against her, she wanted to see what the Empress Dowager really wanted.

"Xi'er"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, the coldness in them made him feel uneasy. This smile on her lips made him think she might have been angered by the Empress Dowager

"You take the medicine and go to sleep. Don't worry about me, I have some things to finish up then I'll sleep."

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City's beds were separated by a screen. It was indeed rare for this couple to sleep like this, but considering they had already separated, it was understandable.

Thinking about how she had arranged a bed for her, the servants' looks... Feng Lingxi shuddered just thinking about it. Thankfully, she was quick-witted and said that she was there to take care of Dugu Cheng's body.

Although this excuse has no credibility, who dares to say otherwise

Feng Lingxi just walked in so openly and honestly, and besides them, there was only Ye Xi in the courtyard. Knowing they were together, Ye Xi was almost invisible, never appearing before them.

"Your Majesty can't sleep."

Dugu Cheng walked to the table and picked up a piece of paper, looking it over.

"Why don't you tell me about the Yao clan The other day, didn't you say that Wan'er is almost ten years old What are your plans"

Speaking of this, Feng Lingxi's expression dimmed.

Dugu City, Wan'er can't go to the Yaozu. Do you know that Luo Li took her as a disciple and said that she will inherit the position of the head of the Yaozu

Feng Lingxi's tone became serious, "If Wan'er goes to the Yao clan, there will be no Wan'er anymore."

"You mean the Yao clan won't let her return Aren't the Yao free This Luo Li is the leader of the Yao clan, he should be able to move around freely outside. Why can't he come out"

"Feng Yu Xi told me that the Yao tribe's treasure map requires a blood sacrifice of a living person, and that person is their chosen Wan'er. Although I don't quite understand why Wan'er, I guess it has something to do with my daughter."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Waner absolutely cannot go to the Yaozu."

"Blood sacrifice Are you sure"

獨孤城 was shocked by the words "The wind is whipping Duolun City," completely unable to believe what he heard. What's going on The Yao Clan actually resorted to a blood sacrifice

Feng Lingxi's expression was extremely cold. "Could I be joking about this After all these years of dealing with Luoli, haven't you noticed anything amiss"

"Luo Li didn't say it this way to me. He said he would take Wan Er to the Yao Clan and make her their leader."

He's lying to you.

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were resolute, "Luo Li is the head of the Yao clan. He has been helping the elders these years, do you really think he doesn't know anything You truly believe that cultivating an heir was the only reason Think about Feng Yu Xi and his daughter. He would rather have his child poisoned and die in pain than acknowledge her. Do you really think it was because he hated Feng Yu Xi"

Dugu Cheng's eyes gradually turned cold. "You mean, all of this was arranged by Luoli"

"Luo Li was afraid that her child would be taken for a blood sacrifice, that dying from the venom would be far too good of a treatment. How could someone as intelligent and capable as Luo Li not know the true purpose behind the Elder asking him to take Wan'er as his disciple"

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, "Although I don't have conclusive evidence right now, my deductions are logical."

Dugu Cheng was shocked, utterly unable to believe it. The Yao clan wanted Wan'er to be their clan leader, but in reality, they intended to sacrifice her! His daughter would become a sacrificial offering to the Yao clan What kind of joke was this

"Dugu City, I don't want to dwell on the past anymore. I just want to ask you one question: will you stop Wan'er from being sacrificed"

"My daughter cannot be taken as a sacrifice by them! I absolutely will not allow them to harm Wan'er."

Dugu Cheng clenched his fist, the anger in his eyes also made Feng Lingxi furious.

"Not many people know about this yet, and Wan'er absolutely can't tell anyone. There's less than two years left, so we need to destroy the Yao clan's plot completely before they make a move."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, “Facing the Yao Clan, relying solely on the Lu family's power is far from enough. As the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan, I am merely a figurehead with no army. If we don't want to lose to the Yao Clan, I must become stronger as quickly as possible. Only then can I protect Wan'er.”

"This king understands."

Dugu Cheng's eyes were cold. He would take back everything that had been taken from him these years, and he must stand up to the Yao clan, make them know that his daughter Dugu Cheng was not a sacrifice.

Looking into Dugu City's determined eyes, Feng Lingxi walked to the bedside and took out the box Zhao Shi had given her today.

"This was given to me by Zhao when I went to General's Mansion to treat Feng Yu Xi's daughter today."

Dugu Cheng glanced at it, "What's inside"

"The Ghost Saint's Guiyong tribe map, I didn't expect Zhao to give me this. It's very detailed, recording the entrance of the Guiyong tribe, and it even meticulously marks the location of the Treasure Pavilion and the Holy Temple."

"What exactly is Zhao's status within the Yao clan What makes her worthy of receiving this"

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, “This is hard to say. I only know that Qiu’er has the ability to enter and exit the Yao clan of Guisheng Kingdom. It’s just a pity that she was killed.”

"When was Qiu'er killed How did this king not hear the news"

"Shadow Eight said."

Feng Lingxi took out the whistle from around her neck, “This is what she gave me. She disfigured herself to tell me all of this.”

Dugu Cheng swallowed hard, he really couldn't believe this was the situation. Over the years, what exactly had the Yao Clan been doing in secret

"How is she doing Is she still alive"

"I haven't heard, he should still be alive, right Isn't there a saying that good people don't live long and villains live for thousands of years"

Feng Lingxi chuckled with self-deprecating amusement, "Autumn'er's revenge, I will eventually avenge her."r's angry little face. Wan'er lowered her head, clenched her small hands, and said angrily, "I'm telling the truth. Wan'er is two years old, she's not a kid anymore, Wan'er understands everything."Win...
