Chapter 1186: Ghost Saint Nation 147

on would cause Wan'er so much suffering."Fourth Royal Consort, this king will listen to you. I only beg you to save Wan'er, her condition is very dangerous.""Sure."Feng Lingxi stood up, "I will tell y...Wind Aotian, upon saying this, hurriedly explained, "What I meant was..." His flustered eyes darted about, increasingly unsure of what to say.

"Since it's a gift from the late Emperor, you might as well accept it. Wan'er is just a child, this present is too valuable. I'll accept your kindness and will also pass on her thoughts."

After all, Feng Aotian is not her biological father. If this were in the past, she would have been treated this way and wouldn't have ended up like this.

Feng Aotian stiffly retracted the peace amulet, awkwardly smiling.

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi withdrew her gaze, nodded towards Dugu City, and got into the carriage. Feng Aotien still wanted to say something, but he didn't manage to.

"General Zhen Guo, I entrust the defense of Tu Mu to you."

Feng Aotian looked at Du Gu Cheng's cold eyes and replied, "This subordinate will see the Crown Prince and Crown Princess off."

"Farewell, King Chen, and Queen Chen."

The carriage left slowly, and 300,000 troops departed from Tulumu Town. The scene was imposing, but the journey was much slower than before.

On the carriage, Feng Lingxi lifted the curtain of the carriage and checked the topographical map outside the town. The city walls were similar to those of Linxi County, easy to attack but difficult to defend. This was precisely why it had caught the attention of the Dongtai Kingdom.

"Your Highness, there is something this servant wishes to ask you. General Sun Cheng just informed me that the gunpowder has been finished and asked if it should be taken back to Linxi County."

Feng Ling Xi lifted the curtain and saw that it was almost time for Mu Zhen to emerge. She ordered, "Xiao Li, go tell Yu Mo to tell Sun Cheng to follow my previous instructions."

Xiao Li responded and jumped out of the carriage, then ran towards Feng Yu Mo. Feng Yu Mo saw Xiao Li, stopped his horse, and after a few words with her, he turned his head back to Tu Mu Town. Only then did Xiao Li return to Feng Ling Xi.

Gu Li watched Xia Li and Feng Yu Mo chatting intimately, her eyes full of doubt. She looked at Xia Li with a hint of hostility, disliking others getting so close to Feng Yu Mo.

"Your Highness, I have informed Young Master Yumu according to your orders."

Feng Lingxi responded and took out the medical records, looking over the patient's condition for this time. She handed them to Xiaoli, "Put this away. Although this illness isn't severe, it's not clear-cut either. Take it back and make a record of it."

Xiao Li put it away and, seeing the weariness on the Queen's face, said, "Your Majesty, would you like to rest for a while This servant will stay with you. Anyway, we have quite some time before we return."

"Well, the carriage is moving very slowly anyway. It's a good time for a rest."

Feng Lingxi closed her eyes, she was truly exhausted these past few days and fell asleep soon after. Xiao Li took a blanket and covered the princess well. Tomorrow is Wan'er's birthday, seeing the princess return, Wan'er will definitely be very happy.

Linxi County, today is Wan'er's birthday. Early in the morning, Wan'er got up and didn't see her mother's figure. Her eyes were full of disappointment. She sat at the gate of Chen Wangfu, staring blankly outside. Today was her birthday, but her mother hadn't come back to accompany her.

Tian Xiaomi had prepared a special birthday gift for Wan'er long ago. Because Xi'er couldn't come back in time, she specially made a birthday cake for Wan'er, intending to give her a surprise and also probe whether Wan'er was really what she thought, with a different soul.

"Well, waiting for your master at the door, are you"

Luo Li and Li Wu Yan came, wanting to take Wan'er out to celebrate her birthday early in the morning. Seeing her sitting at the gate of Chen Wang Fu, with that lost look in her eyes, they walked towards her.

When Wǎn'er heard Luólǐ's voice, she stood up and glared at him.

"I wasn't waiting for you. What are you doing here I'm fine."

Luo Li frowned slightly, walked up to Wan'er, and shook the lunch box in her hand, "I specially prepared breakfast for you, do you want to eat it"

"Hmph!"

Don't you dare try to soften her up by acting like that. She won't be swayed just because you got there early.

Luoli sat down beside her, opened the food box, and the aroma of roasted chicken legs made Wan'er turn her face over. Looking at the chicken legs in the food box, she swallowed nervously.

"This is delicious, it's a match for the Imperial Kitchen."

"Humph!"

Wan'er still ignored him, Luo Li frowned, "Today is your birthday, you really don't want me to accompany you"

Wan'er didn't reply to him. Since that time in the early summer court, Wan'er had always treated Luoli like this, no matter how much he tried to please her, it was useless.

"That's how she acts toward you, just go back."

Li Wuyan glanced at the guards at the gate of Chen Wangfu. He couldn't take her away anyway, and keeping her around to serve him wasn't interesting either.

Luo Li stood up and looked at Wan'er, "Since you don't want to see me so much, then I'll go back first. This drumstick is your birthday present."

Wan'er ignored him until Luo Li's footsteps faded away, then she hurriedly grabbed the chicken leg and started eating.

Luoli watched Wan'er's movements from afar, a slight upturn at the corner of his lips, his voice full of helplessness.

"This little girl is really capable of getting angry. It's been so long, and she still refuses to forgive me. She truly lives up to being Feng Lingxi's daughter. This temper of hers is just like hers."

"You're so hesitant, it doesn't look right at all!"

Li Wu-Yan swept a cold gaze over Wan'er, “Don’t forget, the purpose you kept her for. Don’t give her too much. She's just a pawn. As long as you follow the elders’ wishes, keep her alive until she is ten years old. Anyway, she will be a sacrifice.”

Luo Li's smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold look. Li Wu Yan raised an eyebrow, "What, you think I'm wrong"

Luo Li looked at Li Wu Yan's icy gaze, "She's just a child, can you be kinder to her"

"No need."

Li Wuyan looked at Luo Li, "Cold-blooded and ruthless is what you're used to, are you starting to have sympathy now Don't forget, this way will only lead you into trouble. Don't tell me you've fallen for Feng Lingxi too."

"Nonsense."

Luo Li coldly sneered, facing Li Wu Yan's question, he was not flustered at all, the coldness in his eyes remained, "I just think a child doesn't need to be so ruthless."

Pawn, isn't he just a pawn

But even as a chess piece, it has the life that a chess piece should have. He is no different.

"The Crown Prince has returned!"

Someone on the street shouted, and Luoli and Li Wuyan immediately saw the people boiling over. They hurried to the city gate.

They are back.

Li Wuyan looked at Luo Li, "It seems Feng Lingxi's medical skills have improved a lot. In Dongtai Country, you should still tell them not to provoke Dugu City. After this time, Feng Lingxi's reputation will spread far and wide, and Dugu City will surely be supported by the people."

"Eastern Thailand is just an appetizer, what are you panicking about Feng Lingxi's medical skills are superb and renowned. Dugu City being beloved by the people isn't good for us. Do you really think Emperor Yuan Zhao would tolerate someone sharing his dominion"

Leaving with both hands empty, she watched the commoners rushing to the city gate to welcome Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi. She glanced in the direction of Chen Wangfu, "Wan'er should also go to join in the fun. Today is her birthday, and I don't want her to be unhappy. All plans are cancelled today, no rush, she's only two years old today."

Luo Li spoke, Li Wu Yan watched Luo Li's leaving figure, clenched his fists, his eyes were unwilling, but he still gave up.d a naive expression, looking at Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li. His sharp eyes made him look frightened."My cousin was killed by them.""Darn it."Xiao Li cooperated in scolding, her cousin hurriedly looked a...
