Chapter 598: Conspiracy 84
her first ever close encounter with a blade like this. Suppressing the anger within, she lowered her voice and said, “It’s me.”Hearing Feng Lingxi's voice, Dugu City was startled and quickly retracted..."If you like the identity of this Yaozu saintess, I'll give it to you."
Feng Lingxi glanced coldly and said, "Although I don't know your identity, it must be quite high in the Yao clan. In that case, why not just give you the Yao clan."
"The identity of a Yao ethnic holy maiden is not something that can be given away as you please!"
"Fine, then you go back and sort out the Yao Clan's internal affairs yourself. Don't bother me; I really don't know you at all."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Let's go home."
Du Gu Cheng stood behind Feng Ling Xi, following her down the stairs. Luo Li sat in his place, unable to say a word for half a moment.
Where is Yao Wan Ying now
Luo Li's tone turned cold, a figure stepped forward, "Report to the master, Yao Wan Ying was driven by the Yao clan's people to the cliff in the forbidden land, and disappeared after falling down."
"Send someone to look for it."
Luo Li stood up, walked to the window on the second floor, looked at the carriages downstairs, and said in a low voice, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the palace."
It seems he indeed underestimated Feng Lingxi. How many years has the Yao clan been around, and yet, for the first time, someone treats the status of the Yao Clan Saintess with such disregard.
On the way back, Xiaoli didn't say a word. The words of the princess echoed in her ears.
Although she was sent by the Yao Clan to protect the princess, she had always kept in mind that protecting the princess was her duty as a member of the Yao Clan. But today, what the princess said made sense, yet something felt off.
"Luo Li's identity must be quite high in the Yao clan."
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "He can't do it here, just give up."
Feng Lingxi hummed in response, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Xiao Li beside her, "Xiao Li, do you have something you're unhappy about Your expression seems to say so. If there's anything, just say it."
Whether Xiao Li was sent by the Yao clan to protect her, her words just now were indeed hurtful, but she didn't have any disdain for Xiao Li, nor did she mean to blame Xiao Li.
"Your Highness, I don't have any complaints. It's just that the more I think about what you said, the more sense it makes. But Xiao Li is a member of the Yao clan. Such thoughts really shouldn't exist."
“No wonder Luoli said I was rebellious,” she understood now. The Yao clan had instilled stubborn ideas into all their members, making them all want to pledge their allegiance to the Yao clan until death. But they didn't even look at their own behavior, why should anyone swear allegiance to them
The Queen isn't rebellious, she's just been pushed too far by the Yao Clan.
Xiaoli clenched her fists, biting her lips, her eyes full of anger.
"The treatment of a holy maiden shouldn't be like this, not even the Holy Lord..."
The more Xiao Li thought about it, the angrier she became. She would never believe what those Yao clan members said again. She was a maidservant to the princess, and she would follow the princess. As for everything else, she didn't care anymore.
Feng Lingxi patted her head, "Don't think about it anymore. Yaozu's affairs, Luo Li will handle them herself. That place of smoke and haze, I can't reach, and I don't want to." It's better to do less than more. Finding her mother and confirming she was safe was all she wanted to do.
As for the so-called Yao people, what is their relationship to
her
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes filled with even more heartache.
Xi'er was worried about her mother-in-law's safety, but Luo Li only thought about Xi'er returning to Yaozu to give an explanation. The internal strife of Yaozu was nothing more than because of the treasures of Yaozu. Such endless chaos would involve Xi'er.
Dugu City sat beside Xi'er, reaching out to look out the window.
"Xi'er, this king has already sent word to General Sun and the others to go find Yue Mother first. If there is any news, they will notify us immediately. When we return later, you tell Aman to draw a map, and I will have someone send it to Linxi County."
"Dugu City, thank you. Mother will definitely hold on until we find her."
Dugu Cheng nodded, "Certainly."
Back at the palace, Feng Lingxi went to find Amu. Looking at the map she had drawn, she quickly handed it over to Dugu City so he could send people to look for her mother's whereabouts.
"The saintess, Aman has recovered much and wishes to return to the Saint Master."
Now that the word has been spread, her task is complete. She only wants to return to the Lord's side and finish her unfinished business.
Feng Lingxi held onto Aman's arm, and Aman frowned in pain, beads of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Don't force it, I know what you're thinking. But remember, I am the daughter of the Empress. When I fell off the cliff and survived, she would surely have done the same."
Aman opened his mouth, as if to speak, but hesitated.
"Aman, the Queen is right. You said the Holy Lord would be fine, so she must be fine. Perhaps she's healing somewhere. You have to get better. Only then can you go back and protect the Holy Lord."
Xiao Li advised, the Yao Clan's shadow guards and their master were bound by a bond of life and death. If the master died, they would have no reason to live.
Feng Lingxi nodded, "Don't worry, when your injuries are better, I won't stop you from going back. Moreover, people from Dugu City looking for you will definitely be stronger than you alone. With so many people, they won't fail to find you. Besides, once you appear, the Yao Clan people will definitely continue to hunt you down. For now, stay by my side and recuperate."
A-Man looked at Feng Ling Xi, his eyes full of worry.
"Saintess, Amidala dares to ask you, will you return to find the Lord Saint"
"Yes."
Wind Lingxi's eyes were firm. "I can only stay for a while longer. There are still some things I need to take care of. Aman, people in the world have their own responsibilities. Now I am not just the Saintess of Yao Clan, but also the Fourth Princess of Dayuan Dynasty. Besides the affairs of Yao Clan, I also have many other things to deal with. I hope you understand."
Xiao Li, hearing the princess speak like that, hurriedly spoke up for her, “A Man, Your Highness was born into a general's family, her circumstances were very difficult. We should be more understanding towards Her Highness. Moreover, if Her Highness handles things improperly, it is very possible that we, even the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the people around Her Highness, will be harmed.”
Aman bowed to Feng Lingxi, facing the wind. "Aman understands."
Feng Lingxi nodded in satisfaction and stood up, "These days I will have Xiaoli take good care of you. I will work hard to finish my current affairs and return with you to find mother."
Aman responded, and Feng Lingxi got up to address Xiao Li, "You take care of Aman, I have to go into the palace for a while."
"Your Highness, slave..."
Xiao Li's eyes were full of worry, the princess's journey was too important, she really couldn't stay, before she could finish her words, Feng Ling Xi stopped her, "It's alright, with Empress Cen's protection, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
"You accompany the Saintess, Aman won't leave."
Aman looked at Xiao Li, "The Holy Lord is now missing. Aman's mission is to protect the Holy Maiden, the safety of the Holy Maiden is the most important."
Little Li nodded, watching Feng Lingxi shake her head, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness..."
"No need, Your Majesty will accompany Xi'er into the palace."
Dugu City walked in, clad in a blue robe, arriving gracefully.
Feng Lingxi smiled slightly, looking at A Man and Xiao Li, "Now you can rest assured."
Aman bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Fourth Lord." say makes sense. It all boils down to Princess Yao Hua. If she hadn't come for the betrothal, she wouldn't have withered away like a flower."The people at the next table were chattering away, but th...
