situation clearly, but it can also take this opportunity to recuperate."Dugu Cheng frowned, "Xier's words are reasonable, but how can you be sure they will turn around and attack the imperial court in...Feng Lingxi looked at Shi Fourteen and Fifteen, "Xiao Li is mine, except."

"Yes."

Shi Fourteen and Fifteen quickly retreated. Xiao Li rushed to Feng Ling Xi's side, looking at the princess with reddened eyes.

"The slave girl thought they…"

Come in.

Feng Lingxi pulled Xiaoli into the room, looking at her reddened eyes. "I'm fine, this is the Saintess Hall, and besides, those Shadow Guards are protecting me in the dark. Who would dare to assassinate me here"

Xiao Li looked at the Princess Consort soothing her, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Princess Consort, I am ordered to protect you. What if something happens to you How will I explain to the Holy Lord"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Feng Lingxi pulled her, Xiao Li, to sit down. "Just now Aman came to find me, I asked her to help me with something, afraid of being discovered, so I told Fourteen and Fifteen not to let anyone in."

"Ah Man came Then how come the other Guardians didn't find her"

Feng Lingxi frowned upon hearing Xiao Li's words. This was a serious matter. After all, she had ten shadow guards, yet none of them informed her. Did A Man’s skill surpass theirs, or were her shadow guards incompetent

"Your Highness, the Shadow Guards couldn't find Aman, are their protections truly safe What if there's an assassin even more skilled than Aman lurking in the shadows, watching you Would you be safe then"

Xiaoli watched the princess without saying a word, her eyes growing more and more worried.

"Your Highness, perhaps we should have them come in and ask"

"Go ask."

Xiao Li nodded and hurried out. After a while, Xiao Li came back with a very bad face.

"How do you say it"

They said that Yinwei seeing Yinwei wouldn't attack, unless the Saintess gave the command.

Why

Feng Lingxi looked puzzled. The Shadow Guards weren't attacking the Shadow Guards. This Sacred Lord of the Yao Clan had Shadow Guards, and besides that, they should be the Shadow Guards around the clan leader. That means, if they found their companion's whereabouts and didn't attack, would they report the appearance of the Shadow Guard to their master

They said this was the trust between Shadow Guards, they said that surviving Shadow Guards were sent before their masters, this was the glory of a Shadow Guard. However, Your Highness, rest assured, they wouldn't tell their master about the Shadow Guard's whereabouts.

Feng Lingxi heard this and finally relaxed.

Here's the translation:>

It seems she still needs to be more careful.

This Yao Clan's Shadow Guard, she didn't know if she could truly trust her.

Ever since Feng Lingxi returned from the pond, she had stayed in the Holy Maiden's Hall for two days straight, rarely going out. The elders did not disturb her, and when she remained silent, they each went about their own business. However, the clandestine activities behind the scenes continued unabated.

When Feng Ling was free and had nothing to do, she let Xiao Li go to the medicine storehouse to bring her medicinal herbs to refine medicine. The two of them spent the whole day making the Holy Maiden's Hall filled with the smell of medicine, which made the elders who were secretly watching very puzzled.

Luo Li sent out Feng Ling Xi's order, and the ten elders of the Yao clan were furious. They were all angry and unanimously believed that Feng Ling Xi was trying to detain their families. They refused to send anyone to the Holy Maiden's Palace.

Feng Lingxi turned a deaf ear to all the rumors, focusing solely on refining her medicinal herbs in the Sacred Maiden's Hall. She left the matter of dealing with it to Luoli, which only fueled the elders of the Yao clan's discontent. Rumors about her spread like wildfire, none of them favorable.

For several days, Feng Lingxi was subjected to increasing insults from the Yao people. Even Luo Li's complaints about her grew in number.

Xiao Li walked into the Holy Maiden's Hall, her pretty face full of anger. Seeing that the Princess was still decocting medicine, she angrily walked to the Princess's side.

"Your Majesty, don't you care at all You have no idea how harsh they are being."

"What did they say To make you so angry"

Feng Lingxi busied herself dividing the medicinal herbs. These days, she had a rare moment of peace and quiet, her mind calmer than usual. What worried her was that her period hadn't come yet. When she checked her pulse, there were indeed signs of pregnancy.

Feng Lingxi was very excited and wanted to tell Xiao Li several times, but she held back. She wanted to be sure before telling Xiao Li.

“The Queen asked the clan leader to bring ten unmarried young men to the Holy Maiden's Temple. They all refused, saying that the Queen was deliberately keeping them in the temple and wanted revenge on them. They said that the Queen relied on the clan leader's favoritism and acted recklessly, claiming that her relationship with the clan leader was ambiguous. Anyway, they said all sorts of nasty things.”

Xiaoli's anger almost caused her to bang on the table, gritting her teeth and saying, "I've never seen them so shameless."

"So, the ten elders are very angry that I took their family disciples"

Feng Lingxi curved her lips into a smile and didn't show the slightest bit of anger towards what Xiao Li had said.

"Of course I was angry. You didn't see the way they looked at me, like they wanted to devour me. I thought if it weren't for the Chieftain forbidding them from bothering us, they would have come over and killed me."

Feng Lingxi frowned slightly and glanced at Xiaoli, "In that case, this matter has implicated you."

Xiao Li hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, it's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just that I think they are too outrageous. Each and every one of them only thinks about their own people. You allowed those disciples to come to the Sheng Nü Hall, which is an honor for them, yet they still speak ill of Your Highness behind your back."

If it weren't for the Princess requesting them here, she wouldn't be pleased to see them.

"It seems they are truly afraid their disciples will be wronged here."

"That's right, the Princess didn't see how they looked at me. Now they are all going to the Chief to complain about the Princess. I think the Chief is really patient, he actually still tolerates them."

Xiao Li pouted unhappily, unable to understand why the princess could still be so calm. She was about to be driven mad by them.

"Then you go and tell the chief. I'm giving them three days. In three days, ten disciples must assemble at my Holy Maiden's Hall. If anyone fails to come, they will be dealt with according to tribal law."

Feng Lingxi spoke softly, her eyes twinkling with delight as she looked at Xiao Li. "There's no need to be angry about this kind of thing," she advised gently.

Xiaoli ran out excitedly, Feng Lingxi shook her head and continued to tinker with her things.

"Your Highness, the King has sent a letter."

Yingliu appeared before Fenglingxi at some unknown time, offering her this letter. This was the third letter from Dugu Cheng since she went up the mountain. With Yingliu as a messenger, truly convenient. Even though they weren't together, they could still know each other's situation. It was also what kept her feeling secure and motivated while handling things here.

After Feng Lingxi finished reading the letter, she burned it and asked faintly, "Does he have anything else to tell me"

"The king asked if the Saint would return home for New Year's and if he should come to pick her up"

Feng Ling Xi curled her lips, this letter was all about his longing for her after she left, the emphasis was on conveying the message.

"Tell him, twenty-seventh returns to the city, on the third day of the first lunar month, it's the grand ceremony for the succession of the Yao clan. He need not come to pick me up."

Yingliu saw the pile of medicine jars in the queen's hand and hurriedly stepped forward to respectfully take them.."Do you want to continue"Dugu City's tone carried a warning, and Xinshui hurriedly came to her senses, accompanying a smile and saying, "Your Highness, please calm down, if you don't want to say it,...
