he Princess are watching from the outside. The Princess's temperament is so cold and aloof. You toyed with her back then, schemed to marry her into the manor, and even deceived her. How could she poss..."Wanying, you..."

Feng Aotian looked at her, stunned speechless for a moment. These vicious words, were they truly spoken by his gentle and virtuous wife

Feng Aotian, now I am no longer your wife, but Yao Zu Shengzhu Yao Wan Ying. I saved you only for our cooperation. I give you two choices: abandon your family or cooperate.

Feng Aotian faced Yao Wan'ying, the coldness in his eyes. Was this a choice

She knew exactly what he cared about, so she deliberately stepped on his weaknesses to get back at him

"Wanying, you're really ruthless."

Feng Aotien clenched his fists, "When you married me, you didn't have this venomous heart."

Yao Wan Ying, hearing his words, let out a cold snort. "When I married you, you said that you would never marry another woman in this lifetime and would only be good to me. You broke your promise, so why should I treat you the same way I did before"

Her son is not hers, she Yao WanYing only has one daughter, the only one she wants to protect.

And he, Feng Aotian, could protect anyone except his daughter.

If she were cruel, what then would he be

Feng Lingxi watched the conversation between her mother and Feng Aotian, truly wishing that her mother would abandon Feng Aotian and not save him.

Bringing such a person back would only add to their mother's heartache.

"Xier, you go out first. I'll communicate with him and tell you the details later."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Aotien and instructed her mother, "Don't be too attached."

Yaowan Ying saw Xi'er leave, then said to Feng Aotian, "I give you half an hour to consider."

Feng Lingxi walked out of the room, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

"Little Li, let's go take a look at the munitions depot."

These explosives were the weapons she kept here. She was conflicted; if Dugu City truly wanted the Jiangshan of the Yuan Dynasty, with these explosives, it wouldn't be difficult to capture the capital. But she still didn't want to use them. Once used, the casualties would be heavy, and if they became accustomed to using such things, this world would surely fall into chaos.

She didn't want to change history, nor did she want to be famous in history, perhaps this bomb shouldn't have been made.

Xiao Li looked at the queen's worried expression and was full of concern.

"My queen, is something troubling you"

Wind Ling followed suit, continuing forward. Xiao Li trailed behind her, several times wanting to speak but holding back.

“My lady, ever since the late emperor's passing, I feel like you’ve been carrying a weight on your heart. You aren’t the same as the one I knew before. To be honest, I still miss the Fourth Miss who used to spar with her elder and younger sisters after recovering from her illness.”

Feng Lingxi, hearing Xiaoli's words, thought of the days when she first arrived here, her brows furrowed. "So many things have happened, where can we go back to how it was before Many things need careful consideration before they can be done."

"Is the queen talking about the general"

When it comes to Feng Aotian, Feng Lingxi didn't show much change in expression. This father held little significance to her; with him or without him, there wasn't much difference.

"I don't really care about what he does, it's just that there are some things I can't figure out. Once I understand them, I won't be so worried."

Feng Lingxi quickened her pace and arrived at the gunpowder magazine. Sun, the deputy general, saw her and hurried forward to greet her, "This subordinate greets Your Highness."

"General Sun, I'm here to check on the gunpowder storage."

Feng Lingxi walked in, catching the scent of gunpowder in the cave, her mood sank even further.

This has already become an arsenal, it's a good thing to have it here, but also dangerous.

>

“Your Highness, I have always obeyed your orders and disposed of all the gunpowder. Not a single one has been detonated without your permission.”

Sun, the deputy general's, loyalty is evident to all. Ever since Feng Ling Xi took him in, he has been wholeheartedly devoted to her. Even Dugu City, couldn't achieve this level of loyalty. In short, whatever Feng Ling Xi says is like an imperial decree to him.

"How much more raw material is there"

Looking at the stored gunpowder, it seems we need to deal with it properly to avoid danger. This is all our own soldiers, and we can't hurt them by accident.

"My Queen, as you commanded, gunpowder wasn't made, and all the raw materials were stored according to your instructions. They haven't been touched. Calculating it, there should still be enough to manufacture thousands of gunpowder."

"Thousands."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow. This wasn't a small sum, it had to be carefully stored away.

"Continue to keep it sealed. On my order alone shall the gunpowder be revealed."

Feng Lingxi cautioned, "General Sun, you are well aware of the power of gunpowder. Once it appears in the world, it will undoubtedly cause a huge stir. Given the current situation, we cannot use gunpowder. Please remember this clearly."

"Your Highness, rest assured. I understand. This humble servant pledges his head on this matter; if Your Highness remains silent, this lowly servant will ensure the gunpowder never sees the light of day."

Sun viceroy's loyalty made Feng Lingxi feel much better. With him saying that, she could feel more at ease during her absence.

With your words, I can rest assured and return to the Arahxia Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the Kingdom of Huang Xia"

Sun, the deputy general, looked puzzled. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, he opened his mouth to speak but hesitated.

"The Crown Prince of Aohua saved my life in the scorching summer, and I was reborn in Aohua. I still have some things to go back and do."

"My subordinates will be waiting here for the Queen's return."

Feng Lingxi responded and left with Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, you mustn't let Huo Yaotian or Huangfu Qingyun know about the gunpowder. The fewer people who know besides us, the better."

"I understand."

Feng Lingxi only then felt relieved.

"My Queen, there is something I would like to ask you."

Feng Lingxi responded, and Xiaoli opened her mouth to ask the doubts in her heart, "When the princess returns to Huashan Dynasty, will she really return as the Princess Consort What if, when the time comes, the emperor asks you to marry him Are you not afraid that you won't be able to turn the tide"

Throughout history, very few princesses have been fortunate enough to marry for love.

“You don’t have to worry about this. Emperor Xia has already made arrangements for everything with the Hou family. I'm going to marry Dugu Cheng, he has no choice in the matter. Who could blame him Empress Cen wants Feng Lingxi so badly, and if she doesn't agree, she won't get Feng Lingxi.”

Feng Lingxi, upon mentioning this, broadened the smile on her lips.

She was actually looking forward to seeing how Empress Cen would react when they met.

She probably wouldn't have dreamed that the person she craved every day would become someone who stood before her alongside the beloved princess. Wind and rain may come, but you must wait for me to return. Our story has just begun.

Feng Ling Xi's eyes flashed with a cold glint. New and old scores, they should settle them with her.

The Imperial Palace of the Yuan Dynasty

Feng Yu Xi sneezed, instinctively pulling her clothes tighter. A chill ran down her spine, raising a sense of foreboding within her. She frowned, a question mark etched in her eyebrows.

"These days, has there been any news from Long Gui Fei"

"My lady, there's no news from Lady Long Guifei, but the Empress has been active. It is said that the Emperor has been visiting her these days, even neglecting Lady Yun Guifei."ng late, it's time to rest.Feng Lingxi hummed in response, watching Dugu City walk to the bedside and lift the quilt. Feng Lingxi got dressed and lay down on the bed. Dugu City, who was lying beside h...
