Chapter 1196: War Drums Beat

"Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Xi and, seeing him shake his head, feigned ignorance and asked, "Elder Yao, this Saintess's status is so honorable, I am unworthy. It would be best if I didn't disturb her an..."Your Highness, who is this beggar talking about This is the second time."

Xiaoli watched the little beggar's departing figure, "Should I follow him and take a look"

“Don't you think this little beggar doesn't quite look like a beggar In the county town of Linxi, there are so many beggars. He is so young. Although his clothes are tattered and he has unkempt hair and dirt on his face, his expression is innocent. Besides, his hands don't seem like those of someone who has been begging for years.”

"What the Queen is saying is that this little beggar is a fraud"

Xiao Li looked surprised. Feng Ling Xi retracted her gaze, "You don't need to pay attention to him, he will come again."

Feng Lingxi returned to the mansion, Zhang You stepped forward, "Your Highness, someone just sent a letter, designated to be delivered to you."

Feng Lingxi took the letter, opened it for a glance, then quickly closed it and looked at Zhang You, "Where's Gulì"

"I haven't seen her. I shall go to the Princess and bring Miss Guli back."

"Tell her to come to my yard to see me, and say that I have something to tell her."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li beside her, "Go find Yi Xuan for me and tell him I have something important to discuss with him."

Xiaoli glanced at the letter and immediately left.

Feng Ling Xi took the letter back to the courtyard. This was a letter from Pasha. He said his enemy had found him and asked her to hide Gu Li well, so that she wouldn't be discovered. As for him, he would have to wait a while before he could come back.

"Xierjie, you're looking for me."

Feng Yi Xuan knew Feng Ling Xi was looking for him and immediately came. This was the first time Feng Ling Xi had come to discuss matters with him. Hearing Xiao Li's words, he took a long time to recover, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

"Yi Xuan, sit down."

Feng Yixuan sat down and looked at the letter in Feng Lingxi's hand, "Sister Xi, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will do everything I can for you."

"Yi Xuan, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Xier, just tell me what Yi Xuan can do, and he'll help you."

"After some time, I'll be going to the capital to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. I want you to accompany me, and we'll return to the General's Mansion together."

Her identity entering the General's Mansion would be far from easy, but if Feng Yixuan were here, things would be different. Her mother's affairs, the more she thought about it, the stranger they became. Since her mother had such abilities, why did she stay in the General's Mansion for over ten years She felt that there was something wrong with her mother's courtyard, and she wanted to investigate it to see if there were any clues.

Feng Yi Xuan heard that he was to return to the capital, and to his obvious surprise, he readily agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, so are we taking Xiaomi back this time I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone here."

"Take her with you, she's your wife. This trip back and forth will take several months. She can just go to the capital city for a look." Before this, Tian Xiaomi had been thinking about taking a tour of the capital city. This time, she could satisfy her wish.

Feng Yi Xuan bowed, "Thank you, Xier jie."

"Why are you being so polite You weren't like this before."

Feng Yixuan now calls her "Xier Jie," which sounds less familiar than before. There's a hint of flattery and distance in his tone, making her feel uncomfortable.

I just think this is more appropriate.

Feng Lingxi and Tian Xiaomi weren't people of this time. Besides, she wasn't a daughter of the Feng family at all. Calling her "Xier sister" had already brought them closer, he felt that was good enough.

"Just do what you like, anyway remember this, since I treat you like my own brother, I will always treat you as my brother."

Feng Yixuan responded, "Yixuan understands."

He was naturally incomparable to Feng Yu Mo, who had been with Feng Ling Xi for two years. They had gone through so much together, and their relationship was naturally deeper than his.

"Your Highness, Guli is here."

Xiaoli reminded him outside the door. Feng Yixuan inside saw this and hurriedly said, "Xier sister, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first. You chat with her."

"Okay."

Feng Yixuan walked to the door and politely greeted Gu Li. Looking at the smile on her face, he quickened his pace, wanting to return to Xiao Mi's side to keep her company.

"Your Highness, what can I do for you"

Hulu's personality is relatively cheerful and unrestrained. Although she calls Wind Lingxi "Princess" with her mouth, her actions don't reflect the attitude one would expect from someone addressing a princess. However, Wind Lingxi has gotten used to it. After all, she promised Pasha to take care of her and wouldn't hold these things against her.

Your father wrote me a letter, saying he wouldn't be back so soon and that I should take good care of you.

"The princess has news of Father, can the princess tell me where Father is" Gu Li heard that her father had written to the princess, and she hurriedly asked. Her anxious tone made Feng Ling Xi hand over the letter in her hand. After Gu Li finished reading, her face changed slightly.

"Your Highness, could my father have met with some danger He…"

He'll be fine, the best help you can give him is to take care of yourself.

Gu Li's eyes dimmed. She knew, of course, but she worried about her father's safety.

Feng Lingxi looked at her worried face and smiled, asking, "You haven't come to see me these days since you came back. What have you been busy with"

Gu Li's eyes lit up. "I followed Yu Mo to the military camp, watching him lead his troops. But today he wouldn't let me follow, saying that everyone in the camp was making fun of me, calling me a shadow."

Gu Li pouted, clearly unhappy. She desperately wanted to play with Yu Mo.

Feng Lingxi, seeing her displeased expression, playfully asked, "Are you complaining that Yu Mo isn't with you"

"I am not, I just..."

Guli bit her lip, a touch of frustration in her eyes. "If only I were a boy," she mused, "then I could train alongside Yumo at the barracks."

"If you truly desire to disguise yourself as a man, then do so. Or else, follow him back and I will inform the King."

"Really"

Gu Li's eyes lit up, seeing Feng Ling Xi nodding, she was too excited.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi was infected by her smile and chuckled, "Gu Li, you have to remember, stay in Chen Wang's Mansion and don't wander around, don't let your enemies find you. I'll be going to the capital in a few days, this time I haven't decided if I'll bring you along. If I don't bring you, will you stay here with Yu Mo"

"Can Yu Mo not go either"

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, “This place needs manpower. Yu Mo is the little general, and by keeping him here, he can protect the safety of the people.”

Then I'll stay and keep Yu Mo company. Otherwise, she'd be so lonely.

As soon as Gu Li thought about being by Feng Yu Mo's side, a smile couldn't help but bloom on her face. The look of youthful affection made Feng Ling Xi shake her head helplessly, afraid that she was truly smitten with Yu Mo.

However, this Gu Li's personality isn't bad either. If the two truly feel affection for each other, she wouldn't be a bad choice.

At the very least, Gu Li wasn't a manipulative girl. Staying by Yu Mo's side like this, she could also let go of her guard.

"Then it's settled, I'll let Dugu City know when I get back."

Gu Li nodded her head against the wind, thinking about something, she suddenly asked, "Your Highness, does Yu Mo like Tian Xiao Mi"

"That's Yu Mo's sister-in-law, what do you want"

She had actually thought about whether Yumu and Xiao Mi would end up together. Now that Xiao Mi is with Yi Xuan, it's ultimately someone who has entered their own family.by Lan Fei, so she avoided her. Was there another reason for avoiding herThe intrigues in the imperial harem were truly tiresome. Zhang Ma told Feng Lingxi about Lan Fei's recent situation. It seemed...
