afraid we'll be spending the New Year on the way back.""This hot pot meal is even better than the one we have during Chinese New Year. What's the connection"For him, the so-called New Year held no mea..."You're overthinking it, she's just a farmer's daughter. But she's more lively than other farm girls, probably because of her upbringing here." Ye Xi patted Feng Yu Mo's shoulder, "She saved our lives, at least! What's with you"

"Intuition."

His eyes couldn't see, but his intuition made him suspect that Tian Xiaomi's motives were impure.

"The mystery beneath the pond, we were swept down to the riverbank by the rapids under the pond and rescued by them. There are dozens of farming households here, and I just took a closer look. The things they have here indeed belong to long-term residents. The wheat stalks in this field are enough to prove that they are the farmers living here."

Dugu Cheng observed very carefully. He wasn't unfamiliar with Feng Yu Mo's thoughts, but he repeatedly confirmed that the only thing he doubted was their true identity in hiding here. It was probably related to the Yao Clan.

But it is certain that they are indeed the farmers here.

"That might be Yu Mo overthinking, Yu Mo is just worried about another accident."

Feng Yu Mo reached out to grope for the teacup on the table, wanting to drink some water. Ye Xi hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and, looking at his current state, felt even more guilty. If the princess knew about Feng Yu Mo's condition, she would probably be heartbroken.

It’s always good to be observant.

Dugu Cheng soothed, seeing Feng Yu Mo smile, silent. He suddenly missed Xi'er, wondering how she was doing in the Yao Clan, whether she knew about his troubles. He hoped she didn't know anything. When he had the chance later, he would tell her.

Holy Maiden's Temple

After a few days of rest, Feng Ling Xi's body had almost recovered. Xiao Li also woke up, but her body was too weak and suffered severe internal injuries, so she was still bedridden.

Feng Ling personally cooked medicine for her, hoping she would recover quickly.

He had come several times, seeing Feng Lingxi indifferent to Yao Chu's affairs. He wanted to bring it up many times, but held back each time.

Feng Ling Xi's miscarriage news couldn't be kept from Xiao Li after all. Knowing the child was gone, Xiao Li felt deeply remorseful. She knew that if she hadn't been seriously injured by Yao Chu, the princess wouldn't have come over to help her. If she hadn't come, the princess wouldn't have slipped, and the child wouldn't have miscarried.

Although Feng Lingxi said she had nothing to do with it, Xiao Li's heart was still heavy with the matter.

Since Feng Lingxi's incident, the atmosphere within the Yao clan has been extremely strange. Those who usually enjoyed gossiping behind others' backs have inexplicably become silent, refraining from any criticism. Even the Sacred Maiden's Hall remains undisturbed, with only maids attending to the cleaning duties.

It is precisely because of this that Feng Lingxi can take good care of her body.

"Holy maiden, Shadow Six requests an audience."

Fifteen came in to report that ever since Xiao Li was injured, Fourteen has been taking care of her meals and daily routines, while Fifteen has been closely protecting Feng Lingxi, becoming her personal maid.

"Let her in."

Since Luo Li said that Dugu Cheng was still alive, she felt relieved, but because of the miscarriage, she couldn't face herself and didn't know how to face Dugu Cheng and tell him this cruel truth.

Shadow Six came in and respectfully handed over the letter in his hand. It was from Huangfu Qingyun to her.

Feng Lingxi took it and, after reading it, her eyes welled up with mist. In the letter, Huangfu Qingyun told her to rest assured, she would definitely help her find Dugu City, and furthermore, he would stay in Linxi County to spend the New Year with her.

What moved Feng Lingxi the most was that in the letter's signature, Huangfu Qingyun wrote "Eldest Brother: Huangfu Qingyun."

Feng Lingxi knew that Huangfu Qingyun was afraid that if he stayed in Linxi County to celebrate the New Year with her, she would misunderstand their relationship. He deliberately used this title to let her know that he was accompanying her as her brother-in-law, so that she could feel at ease.

"Shadow Six, these past few days, I've had to put a lot on you."

As soon as the words left her lips, she saw Luoli walk in. Feng Lingxi tucked the letter into her bosom, this scene caught Luoli's eye, but with a mere glance she walked past her.

"How are you feeling I just heard that Shadow Six is back, so I came to take a look."

"The chieftain's intel is really spot-on, you'll know as soon as Shadow Six arrives."

Feng Lingxi's tone was slightly cold. Ever since her miscarriage, she seemed like a different person. Whether it was her words, her gaze, or her expression, they all radiated an air of aloofness, a far cry from the Feng Lingxi who used to intrigue him.

Now, she is full of coldness in her eyes and tone. That kind of bone-chilling coldness makes people feel even colder in this winter.

Luo Li didn't get angry. Her expression was as usual, calm and indifferent. She had gotten used to their cold eyes and harsh words.

"I just want to know if you're going to prepare to go down the mountain."

Feng Lingxi looked at Yingliu, "Are we there"

It should be tomorrow.

Feng Lingxi thought that Xiao Li was still resting in bed. If she left at this time, where would Xiao Li be safe here

I'm going to go see Xiaoli.

Wind Lingxi got up and went out. Luo Li followed her to Xiao Li's room. Xiao Li was awake, but after these days of recuperation, her body had not recovered well. She almost lost her life. How could she not risk her life to survive

"My Queen."

When Xiao Li saw the Princess arrive, she struggled to get up. Feng Ling Xi stopped her. Seeing Luo Li behind the Princess, Xiao Li respectfully called out, "Clan Leader."

"Never mind."

If Xiaoli came down to greet him, Feng Lingxi wouldn't know what to say. He was afraid he wouldn't even let her in.

"Xiao Li, how is your recovery going"

"Your Highness, I can walk now. My body isn't that weak." Xiao Li looked at Luo Li, her eyes filled with pleading, hoping the chieftain would speak up for her and stop the princess from keeping her in bed.

“After resting for a few days, the Lunar New Year will be here soon, so nothing can happen.”

Feng Lingxi instructed, her voice low, "In a few days, I'll take you back to Lin Xi County. We'll go home for the New Year."

Little Li stiffened slightly, looking at Luoli beside her. Seeing him nod, she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, how will you handle the matter with the Yao Clan"

Has the matter of Na Yaohui been handled by the Princess

Xiao Li dared not ask, nor did she dare to mention Yao Shu.

"He is still locked up in the prison, the chief will be watching him and keep him there."

"You're not going to deal with this. These days, although the tribe members on the surface don't say anything, some are unhappy about it."

"What are you not satisfied with!"

Feng Lingxi's voice was filled with fervor, her beautiful eyes radiating a chilling coldness as she gazed at Luoli. "Could it be that he is justified in causing harm Attempting to assassinate the Holy Maiden, according to clan rules, he should die. My not killing him doesn't mean he's free from consequence."

“Why didn’t you dispose of him then Aren’t you afraid that things will escalate to the point where he is released innocent” Luo Li truly didn’t understand her intentions. He had gone to the prison, and Yao Chu told him that it was Yao Zhi who said Feng Ling Xi wanted to get rid of him. He was stimulated and, because Xiao Li mentioned it, he acted impulsively and injured Xiao Li. From beginning to end, he never intended to harm Feng Ling Xi at all.ars streaming down her face, making people's hearts ache."You broke military regulations. Are you a soldier here Have you enlisted"Gu Li shook her head. Feng Lingxi looked at her frail appearance, rai...
