was startled by Feng Lingxi's words. She watched as Feng Lingxi bowed to her, and hurriedly followed suit, stammering, "No, no need for formalities, it's just a small gesture."Seeing her reaction, Fen...After Luo Li finished speaking, she left first.

Feng Ling Xi returned to the private room and saw Dugu City sitting at the table, drinking. Was the relationship between this Tian Xiang Lou's owner and Dugu City really that good

Is it going too far to ask him for help like this

"Hey, done chatting"

Feng Cangkai looked at Feng Lingxi as she came in and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything I can help with"

"Grandpa, it's alright, I've left this matter to the chief to resolve."

Feng Lingxi walked up to Duguo Cheng and bowed, saying, "Lord of the Tower, thank you for today."

獨孤城 raised his head and looked at her, nodded, but said nothing.

Still as sharp as an eagle's gaze, Feng Lingxi felt a sense of warmth towards him.

"Finish your meal and head back early. I've got a few friends to meet in a while."

"Sister, then I'll go with you."

Feng Yu Mo, who had remained silent the whole time, hurriedly spoke up, looking at Dugu Cheng beside him, "The host definitely doesn't have time to accompany his sister. Let me protect her safety." This host had been staring at his sister this whole time, he couldn't let him have any opportunities to be alone with her.

When he sees his brother-in-law, he'll have to tell his brother-in-law that this poster has a crush on his sister, so that his brother-in-law doesn't know.

Dugu Cheng remained silent. Feng Yu Mo didn't know his identity, Xiao Li did, but following him was indeed inappropriate.

"You're welcome."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "This meal, I'll treat."

Thank you, OP.

Feng Lingxi bowed and thanked them, then after they finished eating, she led them away from Tianxiang Lou. She allowed Feng Cangkai to return home on his own and took Feng Yumo and Xiao Li to a courtyard. Upon entering, several figures appeared before her and respectfully bowed.

"See the Lord."

"Speak up."

Wind Ling Xi sat down and looked at the few people. The leader was Thirteen, a member of the Shadow Guard. They were mostly active in the capital city, and her sources of information came from the Shadow Guard's own investigations, so they were reliable.

"Lord, you were right. The King and Queen of Su are indeed acquainted."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li beside her, seeing her nod. "The matter between the Empress and King Su doesn't need to be investigated. You have the Yao people investigate who spread the news that I and Dugu City were going to separate. Find out as soon as possible and inform me."

"Your Highness, this matter..."

Before Xiaoli could finish her words, Feng Lingxi raised her hand, signaling Xiaoli to stop. Seeing this, Xiaoli had no choice but to keep silent.

"I found it. Come to the General's Mansion and tell me."

After Thirteen left, Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li out. Feng Yumo hurried forward and asked, "Sister, is it over"

Feng Lingxi responded with a sound and glanced around, "Let's return to the General's Mansion first and talk."

Wind Feather nodded, walking beside Feng Lingxi, and lowered his voice to say, "Sister, I found someone following us."

"I know."

As soon as she came in, she realized something was wrong. Thirteen, no matter what, was her shadow guard, chosen by the Yao Clan. Yet, she hadn't noticed anyone following her. Either the people around her were deceiving her, or Thirteen was lying to her.

The three didn't go directly back to the General's Mansion, but instead strolled around the streets. The tail behind them hadn't noticed that they had already discovered it. Feng Lingxi led them into an alleyway and suddenly hid with Feng Yu Mo.

"Where is the person"

In the shadows, several figures emerged, looking at the suddenly vanished Feng Lingxi and her companions with curious glances.

"Are you looking for us"

Feng Lingxi suddenly walked out from behind the door panel next to the alley, staring at the few figures in front of him. These people were all dressed like thugs.

Upon hearing Feng Lingxi's voice, the several men hastily turned around, exchanged glances, and drew their soft swords from their waists, aiming them at Feng Lingxi. Just then, Feng Yumo quickly unsheathed his sword and stepped forward to engage them in combat.

These people had high martial arts skills. Feng Yuemo fought with them for a while, and when they saw that Feng Yuemo could hold them off, they dispersed their attention and one drew his sword to attack Feng Lingxi.

They underestimated Xiaoli's skill. Before they could get close to Feng Lingxi, Xiaoli made a swift move. Her dagger slashed across the man's neck, and he fell to the ground. Xiaoli returned to Feng Lingxi's side, dagger in hand, staring at the dead assassin with a blank expression.

"See if there is anything to be found."

Feng Yu Mo had also finished his side, he checked the body but didn't find any clues.

Xiao Li checked it, and the result was the same.

"Dressed as a ruffian, with such high martial arts skills, it's unlikely he came from the Wind and Rain Pavilion."

Every time Feng Yu Xi sent someone to assassinate her, their martial arts skills were inferior to hers.

"Sister, what is this"

Feng Yu Mo took out a box from someone's embrace and handed it over hastily. Feng Ling Xi looked at the box, her eyes narrowed slightly. Feng Yu Mo wanted to open it, but Feng Ling Xi snatched it away, "Be careful."

"Sister, is there something wrong with this box"

Feng Lingxi nodded, and couldn't help but think of the box Xiao Simu had given her. These two boxes were somewhat similar, she wondered if they contained ice silkworm cocoons. If so, she needed to be even more careful. If not, whatever was inside these boxes was probably something that shouldn't be touched lightly.

"Go back first."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the corpse on the ground, "Xiao Li, clean this up."

The shadowy guards in the darkness quickly appeared, bowing respectfully to Feng Lingxi. "My Lord," they said, "the other assassins have been dealt with, and no suspicious activity was found."

"Finish clean, leave no trace, keep watching."

Feng Lingxi finished her instructions and, accompanied by Xiaoli and Feng Yumò, returned home.

"Sister, Xiao Li's martial arts skills are actually so good"

"Xiao Li was left by her mother to stay by my side, much like Ye Xi beside Du Gu Cheng. They are both close protectors, skilled in martial arts."

Feng Yu Mo looked at Xiao Li and hurriedly said, "I wonder if we could spar another day, and you could give me some pointers"

Xiao Li saw the Crown Princess nod and said, "Young Master Yu Mo is too polite. When Young Master Yu Mo is free, Xiao Li will accompany him."

"The Yao clan's martial arts are quite good. If Yu Mo is willing, Little Li could teach you."

Feng Yu Mo connected one after another, "Then I'll thank Xiaoli first."

Feng Lingxi watched Feng Yu Mo open happily like a child, doting smile.

"Your Highness, do you think these people might be sent by the palace"

"Why is that"

Feng Lingxi took the box and glanced at it. Although it looked like the box that held the ice silkworm, there were some differences. As for where the difference was, she couldn't tell at the moment. If Empress Cen wanted to kill her, she would have done it long ago.

Given Feng Yu Xi's current situation, she doesn't even have the energy to deal with her.

If we were to speak honestly, there was one person who truly wanted her dead, and that was the Prince of Su from the Duke of Su's mansion.

Ever since she suspected King Su, with the death of Li Guanjia, the manager of King Su's estate, and King Su's words, Feng Lingxi felt that it was plausible for King Su to want to kill her. Li Guanjia's death was a result of her suspicions, whether or not it was caused by her. In King Su's eyes, Li Guanjia's death was related to her.

"The Empress has always wanted to kill you. Perhaps this time she feels it's easier to deal with her sister now that she's at the General's Mansion"ible""Dugu Cheng asked out his doubts, "This A Man is the shadow guard of your mother. Besides finding your mother, what else can she help you investigate""I trust her."Feng Lingxi looked at the worry...
