Chapter 1261: Flames of War Ignite

she said with trembling lips, "Mother Empress, I was just suggesting. If Mother Empress finds it inappropriate, just pretend I never said anything.""It seems you are quite displeased with this concubi..."No."

Yao WanYing withdrew her gaze, "We need to pack up and leave immediately. We can't let the Yao Clan find us. They are helpless against Xi'er."

"At your command, Master."

The little beggar hurriedly packed up and helped Yao Wan Ying leave the land temple.

Feng Lingxi returned to the city with Xiao Li. Along the way, Feng Lingxi remained silent, her mind preoccupied with what her mother had said. Her mother had told her that Xinshui, after sparring with her, had gone mad with her martial arts training and needed to drink human blood.

Her mother forbade her from recognizing her biological father. It seemed that her mother truly loved the man who was Lu Nian's father with all her heart. Otherwise, Feng Aotien wouldn't have said that her mother went back to live in the house where she and Lu Nian's father had once lived after she was born.

This third matter is about her mother being pursued by the Ghost Saint Country Yao Clan. Her mother still hasn't told her what she took from the Yao Clan that led to their pursuit, but she knows that the bracelet her mother gave her must be involved.

Feng Ling instinctively touched the woven bracelet on her wrist, her eyes filled with even more confusion.

Xiaoli followed behind the princess, watching as the princess remained silent. She wanted to ask several times, but seeing the princess like this, she didn't dare speak up.

After entering the city, the guards saw Feng Lingxi return and rushed forward to greet her.

"The queen is back."

"Lord, can you come back"

Feng Lingxi asked, she went out and back in just over an hour and a half. Dugu City shouldn't be that fast, otherwise, she could have run into him.

"Not yet, Princess. Would you like to wait for the Master here"

Feng Lingxi shook her head. "No need, when he comes back you tell him I've returned home."

The guards responded, and Feng Lingxi led Xiao Li into the city.

"Your Highness, did the person you met today tell you who kidnapped Young Master Yǔmò"

Xiao Li voiced her confusion, and the Princess spoke up, asking if this was alright

"No."

"None Then he's deceiving the princess by looking for her, isn't that right Princess, you're still so polite to that beggar..."

Xiao Li was indignant, and wanted to say something more, but seeing the princess frowning in thought, she swallowed it back down.

"Your Highness, that person didn't mistreat you, did they"

"No."

Xiao Li didn't ask again. The princess's mood was down, and her heavy heart worried her. However, the princess didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't press further.

Upon returning to the mansion, Zhang You saw Feng Ling Xi come back and hurriedly ran to her, "My Lady, you're finally back."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, steward."

"Your Highness, Young Master Yu Mo is back, but he's seriously injured and still unconscious. Please hurry and take a look."

Feng Lingxi heard that Yu Mo was back and her expression brightened. She hurriedly said, “Quickly take me there.”

Zhang You brought Feng Lingxi to Feng Yumo's courtyard. Looking at the maids and servants coming in and out, their hands holding blood and gauze, Feng Lingxi's heart trembled. How did Yu Mo return

"I'll go check if the princess is back."

Tian Xiaomi's voice came, and as soon as she walked out, she saw Feng Lingxi. She hurried forward, "Your Highness, you're finally back. Quickly go see Yu Mo, his condition is very unfavorable, Li Su is helping him stop the bleeding."

Feng Ling quickly entered the room and saw Feng Yu Mo on the bed. She hurried forward.

"Li Su, how is Yu Mo doing"

Li Su saw Feng Ling Xi and hurriedly got up, "Your Highness, you're here just in time. I couldn't stop his bleeding, his finger…"

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Mo's left ring finger, her mind buzzing.

That severed finger really belonged to Yu Mo. Even though she kept telling herself it was impossible, she couldn't change the fact.

"I'll go."

Feng Ling hurriedly checked Feng Yu Mo's fingers. The finger had been severed, and blood wouldn't stop flowing. Besides that, there were many bruises on his body, probably caused by beating.

"Xiao Li, go get that severed finger."

Feng Lingxi, after calmly analyzing the situation, decided to try and reconnect the severed finger. Whether successful or not, she was determined to give it a shot.

"Yi Xuan, Xiao Mi, ask someone to heat some water and bring a cloth."

"Li Su, prepare the hemostatic medicine."

Feng Lingxi, while speaking, had already begun to clean the blood from Feng Yumo's fingers.

Xiao Li went to fetch the severed finger and also brought Feng Ling Xi's tools. She had followed the princess for so many years, knowing deeply the princess's medical procedures; these tools were indispensable.

After a moment, everything was ready.

"Xiao Li, Li Su, stay behind and help me. Everyone else, exit the room and don't allow anyone to come near."

She was going to operate on Yumo, Li Su could help her, and Feng Lingxi was also performing surgery in front of Xiao Li's unexpected face for the first time.

Li Su was also seeing for the first time a medical method different from his own, bold and with methods he had never seen before.

Outside the door, Tian Xiaomi and Feng Yixuan anxiously waited. It was almost dusk. Tian Xiaomi knew that Feng Lingxi's surgery would take several hours. As dusk approached, the difficulty of the surgery also increased.

Dugu Cheng returned from outside the city and learned that Feng Lingxi had returned to the city. He hurried back to the Prince's Mansion and, upon learning that Feng Yumo had also returned, rushed over. Seeing Feng Yi Xuan and Xiao Mi guarding the door, he already knew that Feng Lingxi was undergoing surgery inside.

"My Lord, the Lady is tending to General Yumu. His injuries are severe and he's bleeding profusely."

Tian Xiaomi told Dugu Cheng what had happened, "Gulì brought Young Master Yǔmò back, she was injured and fainted. After we sent her back to the room and found a doctor to see her, she is out of danger."

獨孤城鬆了一口氣，有些意外古麗和風羽墨能夠逃出來。

"Wait until Xier comes out, then you can go and see if Gulli is awake."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Yixuan's worried eyes, "You guys stay here, I'll go take a look."

After an anxious wait of two hours, Feng Yu Mo's bleeding stopped, and the surgery was a success. His severed finger was reattached, but it remained unknown whether it would be successful.

"Your Highness, you rest. I will take it from here."

Li Su looked at Feng Ling Xi's exhausted face and hurried forward, wanting to help Feng Yu Mo clean his wounds. However, Feng Ling Xi refused.

"I'm fine, I'll handle it myself. This wound needs to be treated properly, and the next ten days are crucial."

Feng Lingxi instructed Xiao Li, "Tell them that Yu Mo's bleeding has stopped, and he is out of danger."

Xiao Li went out, opened the door, and Dugu City quickly stepped forward, "How did it go"

"My lord, the princess said that Young Master Yumo's bleeding has stopped and his life is saved."

Dugu Cheng let out a breath, his life was safe. This injury could only be slowly healed.

"This king shall go and see for himself."

Xiao Li made way, letting Dugu City go in.

"Xiao Li, how is Yu Mo doing Tell me the truth."

Feng Yixuan's eyes were filled with pleading. This younger brother, in the past, their Feng family had treated him poorly enough. Now that he had finally made some progress, he encountered such a thing again. At such a young age, he almost lost his life. He truly felt heartbroken for him.

"Now that her life is out of danger, Your Highness's medical skills are excellent, Young Master Yixuan, please rest assured." the Empress Dowager investigate and clear Xier's name, proclaiming to the world that she is not the murderer of her father.""I can agree to your request, but I also need you to agree to a condition o...
