Forget it, I don't like being watched. Bringing Xiao Li is already enough. If I brought a whole group every day, it would be too ostentatious. Who knows if every day would be filled with assassins try..."Don't you want to leave here"
Luo Li walked to Li Wu Yan's side and sat down. She looked at the sheepskin scroll in Li Wu Yan's hand, took a glance, and threw it on the table. "You're about to leave, why are you still researching the antidote for Luoshuang Flower"
Li Wuyan picked up the parchment, "You don't understand."
Luo Li became a bit annoyed when he heard this.
"Alright, alright, I don't understand. All I know is you have to listen to Dugu City. Find a way to leave the capital as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here either. Every time I go out, it's sneaky and makes my clothes dirty."
Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly, was this his reason
Clothes get dirty, just wash them and they'll be clean, right
"Luoli, where is Dugu City now, and how is he doing"
"He didn't say it himself, but he sent someone to tell me to tell you this: if you can find a way to escape on your own, then go ahead. If not, seek out Shu Taifei. He said that Shu Taifei would be able to help you leave."
Feng Lingxi was a little surprised to hear this.
"Can Shu Taifei help"
Luo Li gave her a cold glance, "A woman who can thrive in the palace like a fish in water, do you think she's really as harmless as she appears on the surface" This former emperor had been dead for so long, how could this Shu Taifei still be alive under the Empress Dowager's nose She must not be an ordinary person.
"Luo Li, could you please find out about Grandfather's condition If he really intends to leave, I don't care about anyone else, but Grandfather, I must take him with me. In this General's Mansion, only Grandfather and Yu Mo are worth my protection. As for the rest, I don't want to involve myself."
She didn't even bother, Feng Aotian was a fickle person, who knew if he had sided with Dugu Xiu now.
She only hoped that her grandfather's return to Beijing this time wouldn't result in his death.
"First, make some preparations at home. I'll go and inquire about the situation. I'll be back later."
Luoli got up, patted her clothes, and spoke with a tone of resignation.
"I'm going to get my clothes dirty again."
Li Wuyan suddenly grabbed the herbs beside him and threw them at Luoli. Luoli instinctively dodged, leaving without looking back, afraid that Li Wuyan would chase after him.
He will do well.
Li Wuyan looked into Feng Lingxi's eyes, seeing the worry within. "The Fourth Prince told you to leave, so you should leave. This place isn't worth staying in."
Wind LingXi responded, getting up to look at the Four Palaces. There weren't many memories of her and Dugu City here; they hadn't stayed long, and this capital city didn't hold much that was worth cherishing.
"Let's take a look at the surroundings and then discuss our plan of action."
Feng Lingxi got up and saw Xiaoli carrying a bowl of fish soup over, "Your Highness, this is the fish soup that Shutai prepared just now. She said it was caught in the pond just now and cooked for you to nourish your body. You..."
Before she could finish her words, Feng Lingxi smelled the fishy scent of fish soup. Her stomach churned and she covered her mouth as if she wanted to vomit. Xiaoli was startled and quickly put down the fish soup, rushing over to support her with a worried expression, "Your Highness, what's wrong"
Feng Lingxi smelled the fishy smell on Xiao Li's body, feeling even more nauseous. She hurriedly covered her mouth and retched.
"You..."
Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi's reaction, walked over and took her hand to feel her pulse. His brows furrowed as he looked at Feng Lingxi, "Congratulations, Fourth Princess, you are pregnant."
"What I'm pregnant"
Feng Ling was shocked, instinctively covering her abdomen. She couldn't believe it when she checked her own pulse - there was indeed a small life growing inside her. But how could this child appear at this time
Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi's reaction, "You're not happy"
"No, I was just..."
Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of worry, "You know the situation now, this child came at the wrong time. I'm afraid I can't protect him on the way."
"My lady, I shall protect you and the young master with my life."
Xiao Li was overjoyed. After months of waiting, the princess was finally pregnant again. This child was a little master of the Wangfu, and also the future master of the Yao clan.
"Little Li, don't tell Mother Empress about this for now. This matter must be kept absolutely secret."
Once people knew she had a child, they would fear that malicious people would target her child. A direct attack is easy to defend against, but a hidden one is hard to guard against. She didn't want the people in the palace to know she had a child.
"Your Highness, if we don't tell the Imperial Dowager Empress, will she be angry when she finds out"
Xiao Li was a bit worried. Everyone knew how much Shu Taifei wanted a grandson, and now that she had one, she wasn't telling her.
"Just don't say anything for now, besides the three of us, don't tell anyone else."
"Can't the chief do it either"
He will know eventually, but once we leave the capital, it won't matter.
Li Wuyan explained, Xiaoli nodded, "I understand."
"Let me think of a way to handle this. I'll give this soup to Ayan."
Li Wuyan looked at the fish soup on the table, frowned, and his face was full of displeasure.
"If you don't like it, just give it to Xiao Li."
Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan's expression and softly said, "Also, go to the kitchen and prepare some light food. If Mother Consort asks, just say that I have been a bit overheated these two days and my diet needs to be lighter."
"I know what to do."
Xiao Li held the fish soup and walked over to Feng Ling Xi who was taking medicinal herbs. Li Wu Yan stopped her.
"Try not to touch these herbs as much as possible. Your body still needs to be adjusted, and many of these herbs could harm the child. Don't touch them."
Li Wuyan reminded, hearing Feng Lingxi had a child, he felt for a moment that she was superfluous here.
Wind Ling Xi let go of his hand and looked at Li Wu Yan's tightly furrowed brows, "A-Yan, if we want to escape from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, we need to know how much medicine people outside need, calculate the time, and arrange everything at the city gate."
Let Luo Li just go.
Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, "Let him handle this matter. You are the Holy Lord of Yao Clan, and the child in your womb is the future young master of Yao Clan. Go back to rest first. When he comes back, I will ask him to find a way."
Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "Then I'll go back first."
Li Wuyan responded and immediately began sorting through the medicinal herbs, carefully storing away those that could potentially affect fetal development to prevent harm to the child.
Feng Lingxi couldn't help but smile at him like this. This Li Wuyan was really good at taking care of people. She wondered what kind of woman such a man would like. When the time came, she would find a suitable match for him, and that girl would be happy.
"Your Highness, the Dowager Empress invites you."
The housekeeper saw Feng Lingxi and hurriedly stepped forward to shout.
"May I ask what brings Mother to seek me out"
Feng Ling's smile vanished from her face. Seeing the anxiety on the housekeeper's face, she quickened her pace towards Shutai's courtyard.
"The Shutai Feifei didn't say anything, she just asked her servant to bring you here."
Feng Lingxi arrived at Shu Taifei's courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a maid guarding the gate. Seeing her, the maid hurriedly greeted her.
"Mother."
Feng Ling Xi walked in, catching the metallic scent of blood that hung heavy in the air. Her face paled, and she fought back a wave of nausea as she rushed forward. "Mother, what happened to you"xi was speechless, it seemed that the prince of this Gui Sheng Guo wasn't stupid after all."Actually, I came here today to ask you a question." Feng Lingxi took out Zi Xing and placed it in her palm....
