Feng Ling's eyes fell on the palace maid. She wanted to see if the Yao Clan people were truly so loyal. She had just arrived, how could she know her situation, who between Feng Yu Xi and these Yao Cl...Wind and Rain saw her worried expression, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "If you were the emperor, would you let me return to the palace Even if my body remained pure, he wouldn't tolerate me, a woman banished to be a military camp courtesan, returning to the palace. I may harbor fantasies, but I also know it's impossible."

Windling hastily soothed her, "Third Sister, don't be sad, you can stay here with me from now on. We can be just like we used to be."

“But no matter what, I still have to find my father and make him understand that my elder sister framed me. If I ever have the chance to return to the palace, I will make her pay.” A flash of ruthlessness crossed Feng Yu Xi’s eyes before disappearing as quickly as it came. Feng Ling Xi saw it clearly, but pretended not to notice.

"Whatever you do to my sister, I won't stop you. I know you have your own ideas, but remember, don't risk your life for it, it's not worth it."

As the wind and rain howled in unison, they held hands and talked for hours until late into the night before finally returning to their respective rooms to rest.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi who had returned, seeing the fatigue on her face, he pulled her down to sit. "How was it Did you have a good chat"

Feng Lingxi poured herself a glass of water, "Don't say it, I really underestimated her before, she's truly a fox."

If she hadn't heard her asking Xiao Rou questions in the room, she would have been deceived by her words. She was really convincing.

"Looks like we have a tough battle ahead of us."

Wind Ling Xi's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of coldness, "Indeed, she really hid well. This period, you let Ye Xi pay more attention to her, any movement should be known first time, don't be caught by her."

"Don't let her go to the apothecary store, or she might tamper with something and endanger people. It could expose everything you've done here. If it gets out, it would be very damaging to you."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I know this. I'll keep an eye on it, but we have to take the initiative and lure her in a cycle. We can't wait for her to make the first move. She's very cunning and won't easily reveal herself. We can only lead her into the trap."

獨孤城 gently tapped her nose, a doting look on his face. "Little fox, however, I like it."

Feng Lingxi was made to blush by his words. What little fox, she was intelligent, wasn't she

"Dugu City, don't you think I have a sinister mind"

Feng Ling Xi voiced the confusion in her heart, "I know I might seem calculating and shrewd to you now, but since you know everything, you can't dislike it, you can only accept it. Because I have been honest with you, and since you believe in me, for the rest of your life, you can only accept me."

Dugu Cheng was stunned by her sudden confession. Looking at the shyness in her eyes, yet a hint of domineering, he was intimidated. He stared at her, speechless for a long time. Feng Lingxi looked at his expression, flustered, "What's wrong with you Don't tell me..."

"Mmm…"

Her lips were suddenly sealed, and Dugu City pushed her onto the bed, kissing her lips before saying seriously, "Who said this king would disdain you This is my expression of being flattered. Xier expressed love to this king, and I feel my heart beating wildly."

Holding her hand against his chest, Feng Lingxi felt uncomfortable under his scorching gaze. It turned out that even facing the person he liked, his strong heart could become shy.

"Dugu City, then you mustn't regret it."

Whoever regrets is a puppy.

Dugu City leaned down and kissed her red lips. This night, the room was filled with amorous beauty, and spring light was endless.

Since Feng Yu Xi came, Feng Ling Xi and Dugu Cheng's relationship became sweeter. Perhaps it was because of the confession that night, Feng Ling Xi completely accepted Dugu Cheng. Dugu Cheng became even more attached to Feng Ling Xi, clinging to her whenever he had time, showering her with romance and affection, making everyone envious.

It was a fine day, the sun shining brightly. The wind had been calm for days since Feng Yu Xi arrived in the county town. After several days of quiet contemplation, she started to move around. First, she observed the terrain, then visited various apothecaries or discreetly inquired about Zi Xing.

Feng Ling Xi always said the same thing, leaving Feng Yu Xi clueless and unsure where to begin.

"Xier, I heard they say you're researching gunpowder. What is gunpowder Can I have a look"

Wind and Rain arrived at Feng Lingxi's courtyard in the evening, watching her busy. She held a bowl of lotus seed soup for her.

Feng Lingxi pointed at the large stone in front of her. These days, she had been deliberately messing with these stones in front of Feng Yu Xi, hiding the real gunpowder elsewhere and creating a false appearance to let Feng Yu Xi know that she was making gunpowder and lure her into a trap.

"This is it, they said this stone can freeze, but I tried every way and it just doesn't work, I feel like I've been tricked."

Feng Yu Xi walked up to the stone and looked at it. "How can a stone freeze"

“I don't think it's possible either. They even said it could explode like gunpowder, just like fireworks. I think that's simply impossible.” Feng Lingxi handed the stone to Feng Yu Xi, watching her examine it carefully, and said with a smile, “What do you think, Third Sister Maybe you can figure something out.”

"I can't see it, just a stone."

When the rain fell, Yu Xiang placed the stone on the ground. She was sure it was just an ordinary stone and had no idea why Feng Ling Xi would believe their nonsense.

Feng Lingxi picked up a stone and shrugged, "Anyway, I'm bored. Maybe I can really make gunpowder by looking at this stone."

"What a silly girl."

As the wind and rain lashed down, she smiled at him. Seeing Feng Lingxi staring at the stone, her eyes twinkled as she tentatively asked, "Lingxi, why don't you come out and play with me It's so boring staying here."

He wouldn't let me go out, saying it was dangerous.

Feng Lingxi shook her head without looking up and flatly refused.

"Why don't we just have the Fourth Prince send someone to protect us Besides, we're just going for a walk nearby, it shouldn't be dangerous, right"

When the plan failed in the face of wind and rain, Feng Yu again spoke. Feng Ling Xi shook her head, “No, if the young master knew, he would punish me. I don't want to be punished by him.”

Looking at her flushed face, Feng Yu Xi's smile gradually stiffened. These days, she had heard it all. Dugu Cheng and she were almost inseparable every day. The way they treated each other was so loving that it made others envious. Thinking that she had come here to assassinate her, but seeing her and Dugu Cheng so affectionate, the jealousy in Feng Yu Xi's eyes grew deeper, but she could only try her best to conceal it.

"You can't just stay here all day, that's not a solution. Why don't we find something to do I've been so bored these days, I really have no idea how you spend your time normally."

"Just like that, another day went by."

Feng Lingxi held a stone in front of her, swaying it back and forth. Looking at Feng Yu Xi's impatient eyes, her own dimmed. "Actually, I also want to go out, but as you know, the king worries about my safety and wouldn't let me leave."ntinued to report."There is one more thing this subordinate needs to report to the lord. Some time ago, when His Royal Highness went to the Kingdom of Xia, this subordinate went to Miaojiang once and...
