ng Xi asked, seeing Xiao Li shaking her head, her brow furrowed in thought. She recalled the day she was attacked; she hadn't expected the attacker to be aiming for her. After all, bumping into people...Yao Wan'ying looked up at Feng Lingxi, forcing a smile, but her face was pale and weak.

It's really hard to see you.

Feng Lingxi, tears welling in her eyes, shook her head and hurriedly grabbed her mother's hand to feel her pulse. The pulse was weak, the tendons damaged, and there were still remnants of poison within her body.

"Mother, how did you get hurt so badly Why didn't you look for me"

Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi's nervous eyes and reached out to touch her cheek.

"Mother is fine. These days, your mother has always wanted to find a chance to see you, but there hasn't been an opportunity."

Yao Wan-ying took a breath and began to recount her experiences over the past period.

She spent her days evading the pursuit of the Yao clan. These people were like rabid dogs, chasing her for years, relentlessly searching for her whereabouts. She thought she could escape the Yao clan, but unexpectedly, their leader, Xinshui, found her and fought her, severely injuring her. However, this battle also revealed a secret about Xinshui to her.

Xinshui, in order to improve his martial arts, went into a state of madness and would kill and drink blood like crazy on the 15th of every month. His methods were extremely cruel. Yao Wan'ying originally didn't want to reveal her location, but Xinshui had stayed in Linxi County for several months. She was worried that he would harm Feng Ling'xi, so she asked the little beggar to find Feng Ling'xi and bring her here.

"Mother, with your martial arts skills, infiltrating Chen Wang's manor to find me would be child's play. Why didn't you come looking for me"

Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes softening.

"You think your mother doesn't want to see you It's not that easy to meet. There are so many eyes watching me, and this time I made sure they were all far away before trying to bring you here."

Feng Lingxi thought of the little beggar, "Could that little beggar be Mother's informant in Xixi County"

Yao Wan Ying nodded, "He was saved by my mother. This kid is young, but his martial arts are excellent, and he has helped my mother a lot."

"That's our benefactor."

No wonder the little beggar said her master wouldn't harm her, she probably knew about the relationship between her mother and herself.

"Xier, this time Mama called you over to give you this."

Yao Wan-ying took off a woven bracelet from her wrist, “Keep this, inside are all the most important things from Mother.”

Feng Lingxi looked at the bracelet, her eyes full of doubt.

"Could this be the reason why the Ghost Saint nation's Yao race has been pursuing you all this time"

Yao Wan'ying coldly sneered, "Of course not. What they want isn't something that can be easily obtained." Finishing her words, she saw the confusion in Feng Lingxi's eyes and suddenly warned seriously, "Xi'er, you must remember, none of the Yao Clan people from the Ghost Saint Nation are trustworthy. There is no such thing as a Yao Clan treasure. What they want is revenge and domination over the world. Mother knows you're curious, but you have to understand that in this world, the more you know, the heavier the burden you carry."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at her mother's pale face with worry in her eyes.

"Mother, why don't you come back to the Chen Palace with me I'll help you heal. Staying here puts your life in danger if they find you."

"Mother cannot implicate you."

Yaowan stared at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with reluctance. But she couldn't give in like this.

"Mother, trust me, I can protect you..."

"Are Luo Li and Li Wu Yan at your palace"

Feng Lingxi was taken aback, so her mother knew all about this.

"Yes."

"Xier, Mother can hold on by herself. They can't catch me. You just be a good Princess Consort of Chen. As for everything else, don't worry about it, especially the Yao Clan's affairs. Don't get involved at all. In a little while, Mother will come to find you again."

Yao Wan'ying's voice was a little hurried, and she was very unwilling to say too much to Feng Lingxi, fearing that she would be implicated.

Feng Lingxi, seeing her mother like this, felt a sharp pang of heartache.

"Mother, why don't you stay in the city Yi Xuan's house is vacant now. You could live there, and it would be more convenient for me to visit and treat you."

Yao Wan-ying shook her head and forced out a smile.

"Mother, don't worry, this body is recovering well. The poison in me has mostly cleared. Just take care of yourself; that's the biggest help you can give your mother."

But...

"No problem."

Yao Wanying interrupted Feng Lingxi's words, her eyes firm as she said, "The current situation is still optimistic for me. The reason I can see you this time is because I temporarily deceived the Yao clan. Currently, I haven't been discovered. Listen to your mother, remember what your mother said."

Feng Lingxi looked at the woven bracelet on her wrist and nodded.

"Alright, go back quickly and don't let anyone find out."

"Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. Can you tell me who my biological father is"

Feng Lingxi's question made Yao Wan'ying's expression stiffen. She looked at Feng Lingxi, "What do you know"

"Some time ago when I and Dugu City entered the capital, a person named Lu Nian found me, and he said that I was his father's missing daughter..."

"Don't acknowledge him."

Yao Wan'ying was furious, "Just pretend he's dead. If you acknowledge him, I won't acknowledge you as my daughter."

Yao Wan'ying was very excited, so she started to cough. Feng Lingxi hurriedly soothed her, "Mother, I listen to you, if you don't recognize him, then you don't. Please calm down."

"Go back."

Feng Ling Xi nodded, looking at her mother like this, she really couldn't bear to leave her alone.

"Hurry up and leave, I'm leaving here soon, it's not safe anymore."

"Mother, take care."

Feng Lingxi took down the silver from her waist and handed it to her. She also gave Yao Wan'ying all the pills and medicine for injuries she was carrying. Yao Wan'ying received them and urged Feng Lingxi to leave. Watching her mother, tears welled up in her eyes. Feng Lingxi held back the tears in her own eyes and turned away.

Xiao Li saw the Princess emerge and hurried forward. Seeing the redness in the Princess's eyes and her anxious expression, she asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong"

"I'm fine."

Feng Lingxi walked to the young beggar's front and bowed to her.

“Thank you for taking care of her. If you need any help in the future, just come to Chen Wangfu and find me. As long as I can help, I will do my best to assist you.”

The little beggar nodded, very readily. "Alright, then I'll remember the promise that Princess Consort Chen gave me. When I need help, I will definitely come to you. And rest assured, my master won't be alright, we'll see each other again."

Facing Feng Lingxi, the little beggar walked into the land temple with his fist clenched.

"Your Highness, why are you so polite to him"

Xiaoli was completely bewildered, looking at the princess. Could it be true, just as the beggar boy had said, that her master hadn't harmed the princess, but had actually done something good

"This is what I should do, Xiaoli. Let's go back."

Feng Lingxi glanced inside, then left with Xiao Li.

Inside the Temple of Land, Yao Wan'ying stood at the back door, watching Feng Lingxi's receding figure, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Master, since you are unwilling to let the Princess leave, why not stay at Chen Wang's Mansion for a few days They wouldn't discover us in just a few days."ear to see him being harassed by Feng Aotian.“Nevermind, take it easy.”Since she couldn't escape it anyway, Feng Ling Xi just went with him. She didn't believe he could have such a good body to be tos...
