ndow, gazing at the starlit sky. This was her first sleepless night since parting with Dugu Cheng. It wasn't just worry for his safety that kept her awake; it was also the events of the day before tha...He is Li Wu-yan, the physician of the Yao clan.

Feng Lingxi, hearing Luoli's arrangement of Li Wu's identity, though a little puzzled, found it quite fitting.

It's better than telling them Li Wuyan is his savior.

Li Wuyan greeted Dugu Yan and the Empress Dowager, his expression was indifferent, showing no sign of royal deference.

Feng Lingxi thought, this is just like the person who stayed with Luo Li.

"In that case, young master Li's medical skills are truly remarkable"

Dugu Yan's eyes flickered, but she heard Luo Li say, "A Flame's medical skills are indeed excellent, but he made a promise to me. He will serve my Yao clan as a doctor for life and not enter the secular world."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Li Wuyan, unconcerned with Luo Li's words. Her gaze occasionally drifted towards her, but the ambiguous look in his eyes left her confused about his intentions for entering the palace.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have come today to see the Fourth Princess. I wish to ask her some questions."

Feng Lingxi pointed at herself, her eyes full of confusion.

"What do you want with me"

"Princess Si, didn't you forget that you are still the Saint Lord of Yao Clan There's something going on in Yao Clan that I need to discuss with you. You have no one around, so I can only enter the palace to discuss with you." Luoli's words made Feng Lingxi awkwardly smile. "Clan Chief, what happened in Yao Clan again"

When Cen Taizi and Dugu Yan saw Luoli finding Feng Lingxi busy, they thought she couldn't go out, so they came to the palace to find her. Since Luoli was their honored guest, of course, she wouldn't ask too much.

"This..."

Luo Li bowed to Empress Cen and Dugu Yan, then spoke in a low voice, "May Luo Li have a private word with Your Majesty"

Of course.

Feng Lingxi pointed towards the outside of Luoli's dwelling. "Speak outside the Clan Chief's hall."

Luo Li and Feng Ling went out, and Li Wu Yan naturally followed.

"Previously, it was said that Luo Li had disagreements with the Holy Lord. Now it seems, that is not the case."

Dugu Yan looked at her mother, seeing her smile. "Feng Lingxi indeed has such capital. Don't forget, after she recovered from her serious illness, her personality changed drastically, like a different person altogether. Isn't what she has done in this past year clear enough"

"Mother means, don't touch her"

"Let's deal with the rest later."

獨孤雁 hurriedly agreed, this was what he meant.

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi joined forces. If they truly wanted to usurp the throne, it would be effortless. However, in recent times, Dugu Cheng seems to have been obedient to his father's instructions. As long as he safeguards the territory of Dayuan Dynasty, the military power is entrusted to him. He sits atop this world, leading troops into battle and unifying the land—it's not something he hasn't considered.

Given the current situation, he can't afford to offend Dugu City. He has to go along with him and flatter him.

"Your Majesty, you've made great progress this time. I am very pleased."

"They were all taught well by their mothers."

Du Guyan eagerly agreed, flattering his mother's actions. He made it clear that he would do whatever she wanted, even becoming emperor if she wished him to sit on the throne.

The mother and son each knew the other's thoughts, but they guarded themselves from them.

Feng Lingxi and Luoli sat down in the pavilion at Shou'an Palace, watching as a maid carrying pastries and fruit approached. Feng Lingxi couldn't help but feel sentimental.

"The Chief's treatment in the palace is truly enviable. I have brought shame upon the Yao Clan."

The Yao people are not under the jurisdiction of any other country. As the Holy Lord, you should understand this well. I came here today only to remind you that in this palace, the only people you can rely on now are the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

"I know, with them here, I am safe."

Feng Lingxi returned a smile, she wasn't stupid, how could she not know that Empress Cen and the Emperor were protecting her, and the reason was the Yao clan's treasure as the price.

"Be extremely careful in your actions during this period and do not be careless."

Feng Lingxi nodded, this seriously talking to her like this, she had never seen Luo Li like this before.

"If anything happens, just tell me. I won't leave the capital city."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Luo Li beside her and Li Wuyan, "How is it, any business at the apothecary"

That's great.

Li Wuyan swallowed the words that reached his lips, and Luo Li, seeing this, spoke, "Just say what you want to say. Once we leave the palace, next time I won't bring you in."

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli and Li Wuyan talking, a smile spreading across her lips. "Clan Leader, isn't everything he says the same as what you say"

"He's a different person, how would I know what he meant"

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, his voice low and heavy, "These days, the Fourth King has been running around because of you. He was injured. Do you know that"

"Dugu City was injured"

Feng Lingxi got up, but was stopped by Luoli, "What are you going to do"

"I'm going out of the palace to find him."

Luo Li glanced at her, "Can you go out now Besides, it's just a skin injury, don't make such a fuss."

Feng Lingxi didn't believe him, and looked at Li Wu-yan. "What about Dugu City's injuries When did he get hurt Why didn't he tell me when he came today"

"Two days ago, I got a scratch on my hand. It wasn't serious, just from investigating that woman."

The woman Li Wuyan was talking about, Feng Lingxi knew it was Feng Yuxi. She had someone backing her, perhaps she found out something that would lead her to attack Dugu City.

"Li Wuyan, please take good care of him."

Li Wuyan responded, looking at Feng Lingxi's forehead, "Your wound..."

Feng Ling xi hurriedly reached out to touch her forehead, that instinctive reaction made Li Wu Yan frown, "You're really hurt."

"A cut and bruise won't stop you."

Feng Lingxi pulled out a dry smile and said, "You're quite clever."

"Don't be reckless. Feng Linglong could beat you up, and she wouldn't even need to speak for it. She wouldn't dare lay a hand on you without her backing. You should know your place and not overstep."

Luo Li reminded him again, her brows furrowed in displeasure. She seemed impatient.

You haven't even chosen a Sacred Lord for the Yao Clan, don't die too soon.

Although this might sound harsh, Feng Lingxi knew Luo Li was truly worried about her safety.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"I just don't trust you. If you don't change your personality, you'll eventually suffer the consequences."

It's really chaotic out there. The person behind the wind and rain is very powerful, he hasn't been able to figure out the other party's identity, nor does he know who she's cooperating with. Such ability is a headache. Most importantly, the other party's goal is Feng Lingxi.

Luoli couldn't figure out if it was against the Yaozu Saint Lord or the Fourth Princess. But before the end, he didn't want to expose himself too much.

"Luo Li, when did you become so chatty Just take good care of Dugu City for me. I promise you, he won't die that quickly." She had been reborn, she wouldn't die so easily.

Feng Lingxi's worry was for Duguo City. She was in the palace, facing Feng Yu Xi, with Empress Cen and the Emperor's protection, what could possibly happen to her It was Duguo City who was worried about. While he investigated Feng Yu Xi, Duguo Yan also asked him to investigate Duguo Yu. His safety was what she cared about most.

"If Dugu City knew you were so worried about him, he would laugh his head off."s all because of the grievances between my father and your mother. There's no need to drag our generation and Wan'er's generation into it. You don't even know that my mother truly doesn't like her son...
