they're a bit too far away. I can't make them out."Ye Xi, let's go up."Dugu Cheng looked up at the cave ceiling, "We must hurry back and inform Xi'er. Otherwise, if the army attacks, things will be ve..."If you like, I can accompany you for a walk every day."

Feng Lingxi's eyes lit up, "Really"

Seeing Huangfu Qingyun nod, his eyes lit up for a second before dimming again. "No, if you accompany me out every day, you won't be able to do your work. You should find someone else to accompany me."

"I don't trust them following you." Huangfu Qingyun handed her the lantern in his hand and smiled indulgently, "I feel happy being with you."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Huangfu Qingyun, a brilliant smile spreading across her face. "Me too, I'm especially happy to be with you."

"Well…" Huangpu Qingyun's eyes smiled, "Would you like to…"

Before he could finish his words, Feng Lingxi's figure had already run far away. Huangpu Qingyun wryly smiled and chased after her footsteps. Cultivating feelings, or perhaps it should be taken slow.

"My lady, this time when I return to the Yao Clan, if there is anything you need help with, just speak up."

Although he has come out, if the need arises for troop deployment, he still has that capability.

The Wind Lady nodded. "You are Xi'er's husband and a member of our Yao clan. If you need to take action, you will naturally speak up."

Dugu City replied, "That madam should rest early, and we will set off tomorrow."

The Wind Mistress watched him leave, her eyes filled with worry.

"Seeing the Lord this way is worrisome. He spent the whole day looking for his wife today and couldn't find her. The Lord knows that a young master accompanies his wife, and he is even more worried. He even said some disheartening things. I am truly worried about the Lord."

Yexi couldn't say anything before the King. He could only tell Feng Fuzi, and he was actually quite uncomfortable inside.

"Ye Xi, where's that little girl Xiaoli"

When it came to Xiaoli, Yexi thought of her dejected look when she left that day. He truthfully replied, "Madam, on the day of the fall, General Sun and Xiaoli accompanied the Princess to collect sulfur stones, bringing a thousand soldiers. They didn't expect that half of them were people from the Empress Dowager, and Miss Fengsan teamed up with the Sixth Prince to kill all those they brought. According to Xiaoli, the Princess distracted them, then faced Miss Fengsan alone. As for the true reason why the Princess fell off the cliff, I'm not quite sure."

"This Xiao Li, I asked her to protect Xi'er, and she actually left."

The Wind Madam let out an angry rebuke, the ruthlessness in her eyes worried Ye Xi. He quickly defended Xiao Li, saying, "Madam, Xiao Li is also remorseful. She said that the Princess urged her and General Sun to go back for reinforcements, claiming they could protect themselves. It's possible something else happened during that time that led to the Princess falling off the cliff."

"Don't speak up for that girl. No matter what, it was her fault for not completing her tasks, she deserved to be punished. What about her now"

After the incident with the princess, Xiao Li left to go to the Kingdom of Huangxia to find her. The madam gave Xiao Li a chance to redeem herself by completing this task.

Feng Fu-ren looked at Ye Xi, after a long silence she said, "Xiao Li was cultivated by me with my own hands. This time, her actions were indeed wrong. You're so nervous about her, are you developing feelings for her"

Ye Xi hurriedly explained, "Madam, I didn't mean to. I just think Xiaoli is loyal to the princess. Everyone makes mistakes, and I hope Madam will give her a chance."

"Now I can only watch her performance. If Xi'er is fine, I won't pursue her responsibility. Xi'er cannot have anything happen to her, her responsibility is great, just like the Fourth Prince."

"My subordinate understands madam's meaning, my subordinate believes that little Li will definitely be able to find the princess."

Night Xi exited the room, and a figure appeared in Feng Fu's room. The person knelt before her, respectfully saying, "My subordinate greets the Holy Lord."

Here is the English translation:

How is it going within the family

"My Lord, everything is as you suspected. The Grand Elder has indeed rebelled, and he has been in close contact with the kingdom of Gallo, violating our clan's rules."

Feng Fu-ren frowned, "How many of us are there in the capital"

That person was taken aback and quickly said, "About a hundred people."

The Wind Lady took out a painting and handed it to her, "This is the portrait of the Saintess. You send someone to secretly investigate. The Saintess has appeared in the capital, followed by a young master. Be sure to find out the whereabouts of the Saintess. Don't make a fuss. When you have news, notify me immediately."

The man took the portrait and vanished into the room.

Prince's Mansion

Feng Lingxi got up early and was ready to go out to play with Huangfu Qingyun. Just as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw a woman in fine clothes walking towards her.

"Miss Lin, the Empress has arrived."

Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed, "Lin Xi pays respects to Your Majesty."

The Empress walked before her, gazing at the face so similar to that of her old friend, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"No need to be so polite, I came here today just to chat with you."

Wind Lingxi looked at the Empress's gentle eyes and smiled, nodding. "Your Majesty, is there something you want to tell Xi"

"All of you, leave."

The Empress gestured to the maidservants attending her, and after they had cleared the area, she took Feng Lingxi's hand and sat down with her in the pavilion.

"Xī'ěr, are you accustomed to living in the Prince's Mansion"

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, looked at the empress and smiled, then followed with a smile, "Very good, there's food and drink, and His Royal Highness even accompanies me shopping."

"Yun'er, this child, is still being so attentive to a girl for the first time."

When the Empress spoke, her eyes were fixed on Feng Lingxi, trying to glean something from her gaze. Unfortunately, Feng Lingxi's eyes were crystal clear and pure, like a still pond with no impurities whatsoever.

"The Crown Prince is a good person."

"Yun'er has never been so attentive to any other girl, Xier, do you like Yun'er"

"Like."

Feng Lingxi made no attempt to hide it, she enjoyed how Huanghpu Qingyun treated her and liked playing with him.

"How do you like it"

He looked very comfortable.

The Queen smiled, "Is that all"

Feng Lingxi nodded, seriously to the point of being unable to be any more serious. There was not a shred of ambiguity; her liking was pure and simple—she just liked it.

"Then, would you be willing to become his Crown Princess"

Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress, her face full of confusion. "What is a Crown Princess"

"You..."

The Empress looked at her bewildered eyes, they didn't seem like a lie. Could it be that after losing her memory, she even forgot about matters of love between men and women

Is there something wrong with her mind

Feng Ling Xi looked at the Empress staring at her with that intense gaze, instinctively touching her face and asking in confusion, "Your Majesty, is there something dirty on Xi'er's face"

"Mother."

Huangfu Qingyun hurried to Feng Lingxi's side, his anxious expression making the Empress look helplessly at him.

"You, child, are you so worried that your mother ate up your younger sibling "

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Feng Lingxi, just about to explain, when Feng Lingxi spoke up, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager just asked me if I was willing to be your Crown Princess. But what exactly is a Crown Princess"Consort, could it be that you are the Fourth Princess Consort who poisoned the late Emperor""Bring this quack doctor out here and have him executed!"獨孤宇 roared, scaring the physician to his knees begg...
