ngements made by the princess."Wind Ling quickly ordered them to chop down trees and find materials. She needed large kites. If they truly had to fight, she could use these kites to deliver gunpowder...By the time they returned to the city, it was almost nightfall. Dugu Cheng arranged for Feng Lingxi to settle Feng Yu Xi and then left.

Feng Yu Xi glanced at the surroundings. This Linxi County, despite being just a small county town, was governed so well by Feng Ling Xi and Du Gu Cheng. Along the way, she had seen the strict security measures in place. To assassinate the couple here would be impossible.

The Empress Dowager had her come to assassinate Feng Lingxi, so under these circumstances, if she killed Feng Lingxi, she wouldn't even think about living to see the outside.

"Xier, how long have you and the Fourth Prince been staying here"

"In a couple of months, this place isn't as grand as the capital city. It's rather simple and perhaps even a bit poor. Please don't find it displeasing, Third Sister."

Feng Yu Xi Lian hurriedly said, "How is that possible I'm already so grateful that you would take me in. How could I possibly complain"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly and arranged a room for her. "Starting today, you'll live here. I'll be in the courtyard upfront. If you need anything, just come find me."

"Xier, thank you. With a good sister like you, I will live well."

Feng Ling patted her shoulder, "Don't say that, you're my sister. If you need anything, just speak up. I'll have someone bring you hot water first. Wash up and we'll eat together soon."

As the wind howled and rain lashed against the windows, a maid entered with fresh clothes. Feng Lingxi addressed Feng Yuxi, "These are the clothes I just brought back; they're still unworn. Tomorrow, have someone buy a few new sets for you."

"Xier, now that I'm like this, you're still so good to me. I don't know how to repay you."

Feng Yu held her hand tightly. "From now on, if there's anything I can do to help, just ask and I'll do it."

Don't say these things, get dressed and go take a bath quickly.

After Feng Lingxi left, the maidservant waited on Feng Yu Xi as she bathed and changed. Looking at everything in the room, Feng Yu Xi looked at the maidservant serving her and softly asked, "What's your name"

"I am Xiao Rou, a maidservant from the County Lord's Mansion. Miss Xiaoli asked me to come and serve you."

Feng Yu Xi smiled faintly, “Little Li is still following Xi’er Does Xi’er have Little Li taking care of her meals and daily life”

Xiao Rou responded with a smile, watching Feng Yu Xi's cheerful face. Her words became bolder as well.

Little Li is the princess's personal maid, just like Ye Xi, the personal guard by the king's side.

"Then I'll have Xiaorou take care of me during my time here."

Xiaorou was taken aback. This was the princess's sister! If she stayed by her side, she could become a senior maidservant like Xiaoli in the future.

"The slave girl thanks the young mistress."

Feng Yu smiled at Xi and asked Xiao Rou some questions. Xiao Rou answered them one by one.

Feng Lingxi stood outside the door, watching the conversation between Feng Yuxi and Xiao Rou inside. A cold glint flashed in her eyes before she left Feng Yuxi's room.

"My Queen."

Xiao Li saw Feng Ling Xi return, and immediately stepped forward to greet him. Feng Ling Xi walked into the pharmacy, looked at the things inside, and instructed, "Xiao Li, Feng Yu Xi has come. From now on, this pharmacy needs to increase staff, and no one is allowed to enter or leave privately."

"I understand, but Your Highness, how could the Third Miss come here Isn't she now the Emperor's woman How..."

Feng Lingxi stared at Xiao Li, her gaze causing Xiao Li to suddenly understand. She exclaimed, "Your Highness, could it be that she's really here to kill you"

"Whoever comes here isn't friendly, so keep a close eye on things and be careful yourself."

Xiao Li's eyes were full of worry, "Your Highness, you know she's not here for good intentions. Why do you still shelter her here Aren't you afraid of raising a tiger to harm yourself" Things had finally settled down a bit, and she was still thinking about when the Crown Princess would become pregnant with the little prince, so that the King could be happy. Unexpectedly, another unwelcome guest arrived.

"Get rid of her There are others, aren't there Instead of that, it's better to stay by her side. At least knowing her intentions, we can respond accordingly."

Arsenic has been gone for so long without any word, I don't know if she's infiltrated Dugu Xiu's side. I hope she's alright.

“From now on, I’ll keep a close eye on her and make sure she never gets near the pharmacy. But Your Highness, you must also be more careful and beware of any schemes she might have against you.” Though this is our territory, who can guarantee what that storm brewing outside might do to Your Highness

What worries her most is the feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to cope.

Wind Ling looked at Xiao Li's worried eyes and comforted her, "She won't attack me for the time being. She's not stupid either. Even if she killed me here, she wouldn't survive. She wouldn't be so foolish as to risk her own life. If I'm not mistaken, she will definitely work with Dugu Xiu, colluding inside and out. In short, we both need to be more careful."

“Your Majesty, I truly don’t understand. Since Your Highness and the King already know her purpose for coming here, why would you still take her in Isn’t this inviting trouble upon yourselves And because she is your third sister, you can’t directly do anything to her. It would be better to have someone else.”

Xiaoli's disgruntled accusation, thinking of what might happen next, filled her with worry.

“She's difficult to deal with, but at least we know who she is. If we replaced her, we wouldn't even know who to turn to for help.”

Feng Lingxi, seeing Xiao Li's frustrated expression, explained, "As long as we keep an eye on her, we'll eventually catch her. We can even take down all the insiders here in one go."

"This slave will obey the princess's orders."

"Pack up, and have Sun deputy general send someone to keep watch here after you leave. Later on, don't let her see through your act."

Feng Lingxi told Xia Li about her experiences and the coming storm, making sure to act convincingly. Only if Xia Li remembered everything could they maintain consistency in their performance.

As night fell, Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi prepared a cleansing feast for Feng Yu Xi. They had made a table full of delicious dishes, and the three of them dined together.

"Xier, why aren't the other generals joining us for a meal"

Wind and Rain looked at Ye Xi and Xiao Li beside him. As Ruoxu said, the two of them were indeed closely following the two couples, one person on each side, serving them intimately. They weren't simple characters.

Feng Lingxi poured a bowl of soup for her and said softly, "The general has his own things to be busy with. On weekdays, when there's nothing going on, it's just me and the prince who have meals together."

"Isn't there a general guarding the city Who will protect you and the Fourth Prince"

Feng Yu Xi wore a worried expression, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress said you poisoned the previous Emperor, and they've been wanting to bring you back to question you. You have no one protecting you, what if something happens"

Dugu City took a sip from his wine cup, his gaze sweeping over Feng Yu Xi Mu's probing eyes. He said calmly, "This is my territory, it's very safe. I ask you, who dares to touch Yixi'er even a single hair on her head within my territory"

Feng Yu's face stiffened, and he hurriedly explained, "My lord, please forgive me. I meant no disrespect. I was just worried about Xi'er. She doesn't know how to fight, so I was afraid something might happen to her."

"Don't worry, Third Miss. The Princess has maidservants attending to her, nothing will happen. Besides, this is Linxi County, with half a million soldiers guarding it. The Princess is very safe." you need."After entering the city, Li Wuyan learned about Feng Lingxi and Dugu City's identities, but his attitude did not change because of their status. To him, they were a transaction, give and ta...
