werful was this medicine Did the Empress really not want Dugu Yan to carry on the family line This kind of torment, Dugu Yan surviving to today was already a miracle."Xier, what expression is that Las..."It's already good."

Feng Ling turned to look at Xiao Li, his eyes full of guilt. "I always thought that the 500,000 soldiers following Dugu City were a glory for him, but now I realize they followed Dugu City more out of hardship and suffering. Even after the court cut off their supplies, they never complained, and what they ate was far worse than before."

Even basic necessities, like food and shelter, are beyond reach.

And she had always believed their food supply was sufficient.

She's really so naive. While Dugu Cheng was busy, he was always worrying about these things, but she never knew it.

She really felt she was selfish.

"Your Majesty, the matters in this camp can be handled well by your lord. Please do not worry about it."

"Xiao Li is right, Dugu Cheng can handle these things well. Don't forget, he led troops to battle before and has endured every hardship imaginable. Besides, the grain issue has already been resolved."

Huangfu Qingyun walked over, her expression serene and without a hint of deceit.

"Solved"

Feng Lingxi quickened her pace and approached, as expected, Huangfu Qingyun also knew. It was only her who remained unaware of the truth hidden within her bones.

Huangfu Qingyun nodded, "I already knew about the grain situation a while ago. I've had my father send food to support it, and Luo Li has also sent grain from the Yao tribe. Plus the grain given by Bai Mo and Bai Ge, we should be able to make it until April."

"Bai Mo Bai also knows"

Huangfu Qingyun nodded. "You saved Bai Mo and Bai back then, and now that you're in trouble, he wouldn't stand idly by. Besides, you should know that Dugu City isn't someone who is easily defeated. The fact that 500,000 rations of grain and grass were insufficient has existed for a while. Ever since the court stopped supporting them, the soldiers have been surviving on their own here. It's just that there are so many people, and grain is a big issue. Without grain supplies, this kind of situation is normal."

Feng Ling Xi nodded, this she knew, it's just that she hadn't thought about it this way.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of the food supply. As for you, you're weak and need to rest properly. Don't wander around."

"Who said I'm weak"

Feng Lingxi's most resolute retort, looking at Huangfu Qingyun's pain in her eyes, subconsciously averted her gaze.

"My body is really okay."

"If you don't want to talk about your business, I won't ask. But Xi'er, you need to remember not to carry everything on your own shoulders. Doing so will only worry those who care about you even more."

Feng Lingxi looked at him, her eyes complex.

How could she not know what he meant, it's just that she really didn't want to say it.

Let bygones be bygones. A person lives by looking forward, and I still have a lot of things to deal with. The internal strife within the Yao clan has me with no grasp on the situation at all. That Yao Zhi is so evil, and I don't know how many people he's colluded with. He's after my position as the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan.

"What can I do to help with the Yao people's affairs"

Huangfu Qingyun saw that she had changed the subject, and didn't press further. But he could be sure that something had happened to Xi'er during her time with the Yao Clan, it was just that she had kept it hidden, and that was why she avoided answering.

"Xiao Li, go get some food."

Feng Lingxi ordered, pushing Xiao Li aside, and she and Huangfu Qingyun went to the pavilion in front and sat down.

“Yao Clan matters are quite complex, and it's really hard to explain in a short time. As you know, Xiao Li was seriously injured by Yao Chu to protect me from getting hurt, nearly losing her life. Now, within the Yao Clan, Elder Yao Zhi wants my position as Saint Master and has secretly been forming alliances. I have to go back on the third day for the ceremony of succession for the Yao Clan Saint Master. He should make his move that day.”

Feng Lingxi simply told them about her situation and the things she had gone through in the Yao clan. Speaking it out made her feel a little better.

"You have no evidence to convict him"

Feng Lingxi chuckled with self-deprecating amusement, "My mother is still the Saint Lord of the Yao Clan. She was driven to jump off a cliff by them. Do you think they would be under my control They are like this now because of Luo Li. If it weren't for Luo Li, they would have attacked me long ago."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún raised an eyebrow, "Then why don't you let Luòlí handle this Yáozhì"

He said, "This is my affair."

Feng Lingxi spread her hands, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"You don't know, within the Yao clan, the position of Clan Chief is much more comfortable than mine as Saintess. I'm just a shield, waiting for everything to be settled. Then I'll give up this identity and return to the capital to be your Fourth Princess."

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at her, wanting to say, even if she returned to the capital, she might not be able to live comfortably as the Fourth Princess. Many people wished for her death, how could they allow her to feel at ease Moreover, Empress Cen treated her well only because of her identity as the Saintess of the Yao Clan. If she lost this identity, would her life be better

"Regret it"

Huangfu Qingyun suddenly asked, Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to meet Huangfu Qingyun's struggle in his eyes, and smiled knowingly.

"No regrets."

Huangfu Qingyun's eyes dimmed. He knew she wouldn't regret it.

If she were to regret it, she wouldn't be the Feng Lingxi he knew.

Actually, he really wished she hadn't recovered her memory back then. If Duguo City had never appeared in Huangxia Dynasty, perhaps he and Feng Lingxi could have been together. But all of this was too much to hope for.

"I just want to live my life according to my own plan and not be controlled. If they insist on interfering and making things difficult for me, then I can only play along with them and show them that I, Feng Lingxi, will never give up."

With resolute eyes and a determined gaze, Huangpu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi. Suddenly, his heart ached terribly.

He also wanted to live according to his own plan, he also wanted to fight for it, but he knew there would be no result.

Unless there was an accident with Dugu City, or Feng Ling Xi changed her heart.

"Dugu Cheng is good to you, and you should be more caring towards him too. I've known both of you for a long time, but I've never seen him treat anyone this well before. He might do a lot, but he doesn't say much. Don't keep everything bottled up inside. You should still say what needs to be said."

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised by his words, as if she didn't like Dugu City.

After the new year, I'll be going back. There's nothing here that can help me anymore, and I should go back, just as you said. I need to plan my life.

Feng Ling xi nodded, "Thank you this time, I didn't expect that, I wrote you a letter, and you really came."

Huangfu Qingyun stared into her eyes, his voice full of tenderness, "I said, when you need me, I will always come."

Feng Lingxi, hearing this, quickly averted her eyes and said with a smile, "I know, so we'll celebrate the New Year together. Next time there's an opportunity, I'll go back and thank your parents."

Huangfu Qingyun nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi's dodging eyes, his gaze fell on the snow in the courtyard, and he slowly closed his eyes: Xi'er, you must be happy, only then will I truly let go of you. that"Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, sweeping over Feng Linglong's panicked gaze. Her heart suddenly turned cold. If the child wasn't his, then what had Feng Linglong done behind his back He didn't even...
