Chapter 1367: War Clouds Gather

e wait in the Imperial Study. I have something to discuss with his Consort."Feng Lingxi heard Dugu Yan's words, the joy in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by anger. Looking at Dugu Yan wearin...He Ming watched Du Gu Cheng walk down, and hurriedly stopped him.

"My lord, the terrain here is treacherous. Be careful where you step."

獨孤城應聲，繼續往前走，賀明不敢再阻攔，隻好跟著。

This cliff wasn't very high, and the bottom was covered in green foliage. If someone fell from here, it would be difficult to find them at the bottom of the cliff.

"Go back first, tomorrow this king will go down and find someone personally."

Dugu Cheng returned to the camp, He Ming packed Feng Yu Mo's tent and let Dugu Cheng live in it. He also truthfully reported the situation here.

After reporting was over, Dugu Cheng bowed out of the crowd and left Ye Xi behind.

"Ye Xi, you send a letter back to the Queen, let her know I'm well. Also, tomorrow you come with me to search for people..."

Before Dugu Cheng could finish his words, a sound of fighting suddenly came from outside. Ye Xi hurriedly went out and saw a group of soldiers surrounding a woman fighting. The woman was slender, but her light kung fu was extremely good. Although she couldn't fight them head-on, her dodging skills were astonishing.

"Stop!"

Dugu City shouted, the soldiers stopped, and the woman also stopped. Seeing Dugu City, she was delighted to step forward, but she was stopped by the soldiers.

"Prince Chen, it's me, Gulli."

Dugu City walked over and motioned for his soldiers to let the woman go. Gu Li ran to Dugu City's face and knelt down, "Your Highness, I'm here to find Yu Mo."

"My lord, I didn't say that."

Ye Xi hurriedly defended herself, Gu Li looked at Dugu City with anxious eyes.

"I only learned that Yu Mo had come here when I went to the military camp and asked General Li. I also learned about his accident, so I wanted to come here to find him, but I couldn't get in. I told them I knew Yu Mo, but they still wouldn't let me in."

Gu Li was extremely wronged. Seeing that Du Gu Cheng remained silent, she pleaded, “Prince Chen, please let me go with you to find Yu Mo, okay I promise I’ll listen to everything you say. I really just want to find him.”

"Ye Xi, take care of her and get her settled down. Tomorrow we'll go together to find someone."

Dugu City spoke, Gu Li joyfully thanked him, "Thank you, Prince Chen."

"Come on, I'll have Ye Xi take you out for something to eat later."

This Gu Li is truly devoted to Feng Yu Mo, and even Du Gu Cheng doesn't have the heart to drive her away. After all, for a young woman to travel this far to find someone is no easy feat.

Yes.

Ye Xi glanced at Gu Li, truly envious of Feng Yu Mo. If Xia Li were as attentive to him as Gu Li was, her and his son could be out playing soy sauce already.

Comparing oneself to others is truly infuriating.

For several days, Feng Ling Xi taught Wan'er to read at the mansion. She had to say, Wan'er’s memory was truly good. She learned characters, wrote them, and recited them, which impressed Feng Ling Xi greatly. She was indeed a diligent student who could understand anything with her reading. In just a few days, Wan'er already knew hundreds of characters.

"My Lady, this tutor was found for the young mistress as you instructed."

Little Li brought in an elderly man. Wan'er, upon seeing the old man, hurriedly got up and bowed to the master, saying, "Du Gu Wan greets you, Master."

"The old man bows to the Princess Consort and Lady of the Chen family."

"Master, you don't have to be so polite. From today onwards, Wan'er will be entrusted to your care for education. Please take good care of my little girl."

The master responded in unison, he was undoubtedly the best master in Xilin County, coming to this Chen Wangfu just to be the tutor for Princess Wan. This treatment, naturally, was unmatched by anyone else.

"Wan'er, you should study hard with your master and come back to find your mother after class."

"Good."

Wan'er looked at her teacher and bowed to him, "Teacher, then please teach me quickly."

"Xiao Li, you take them there first."

Feng Lingxi instructed, as she watched Tian Xiaomi walking over, she couldn't help but think of what Luo Li had told her. These days, she hadn't been with Tian Xiaomi all the time, preparing medicine for her and having someone take good care of Tian Xiaomi's diet and daily life. Her condition had also improved, and these two days she could already come out.

Tian Xiaomi watched Xiao Li leave with Wan'er, her eyes dimmed.

"Your Highness, is this for Wan'er to hire a tutor"

Feng Lingxi helped Tian Xiaomi sit down, and looking at her slightly pale face, she softly said, "Wan'er is studious and wants to read. I'll hire a tutor to teach her. As you know, I can't always be with her. Besides, where could I possibly teach her these scholarly things well"

"That's right, it would be better to hire a local teacher. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Feng Lingxi nodded and reached out to grasp Tian Xiaomi's wrist, giving her a pulse reading. Tian Xiaomi watched as Feng Lingxi treated her so well, her throat tightening, as if something was stuck there, but she couldn't say it no matter how hard she tried.

"My Queen, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for You're my sister-in-law and fellow villager, besides, this poisoning was caused by me."

When Feng Lingxi said these words, Tian Xiaomi's eyes turned red.

"My Queen, you've been so good to me. I often think, if I hadn't met you in this life, how would I have survived Being here, without you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"Why are you suddenly saying these things Now that we've met and come here, of course we should live together well. We can't just waste our lives."

"Wouldn't you forgive me no matter what I did wrong"

Tian Xiaomi's words reminded Feng Lingxi of what Luoli had said to her, and she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Of course, everyone makes mistakes. What's important is being able to admit them and repent.

"I…"

Tian Xiaomi suddenly stood up and knelt down with a thud. This action made Feng Lingxi's heart turn cold. Was it really as Luo Li said, did Tian Xiaomi really poison Wan'er

"What are you doing"

Feng Ling reached out to help Tian Xiaomi up, but she stopped him.

"You let me finish my words. I'm sorry to you, even though you've treated me so well, I'm sorry because last time my child was gone, I blamed you for it and took it out on Wan'er, I…"

Tian Xiaomi's tears streamed down her face, she raised her hand and slapped herself hard, the force of her blow immediately leaving five clear marks on her cheek.

"So you poisoned Wan'er, did you"

Feng Ling's voice was calm as she finished speaking. After hearing her, Tian Xiao Mi raised her tear-filled eyes and nodded painfully.

"Yes."

Although she had guessed it, when Tian Xiaomi admitted it to her face, Feng Lingxi realized just how much pain was in her heart. She knew it was because of them that Tian Xiaomi's child miscarried, but she was also a victim. Tian Xiaomi could take revenge on her, but why did she target Wan'er

Her blind trust in Tian Xiaomi, entrusting her with Wan'er's care, ultimately led to Tian Xiaomi plotting to kill her own daughter.

“I know I’m guilty, and I thought about what would happen if I really killed Wan'er, but I still did it. I'm sorry. After I got sick, Luo Li told me that when I was dying, my first reaction was whether it was because I hurt Wan'er, heaven was taking revenge on me. But I didn’t expect you to come back and save me no matter what.”

Tian Xiaomi's tears fell even harder, "These days I've thought a lot. I know you definitely know about Wan'er being poisoned, so I want to explain everything to you personally, and apologize to you. I'm sorry."ou came.Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "If we go down from this height, it's too dangerous.""Going back the same way would be dangerous because those people in black might discover the cave and foll...
