Chapter 625 Conspiracy 111

f Princess Zhaoran, Yexi went to pay her respects to Duke Duguo's residence."My lord, the Crown Princess asked me to tell you that she won't bother you again."Dugu Cheng's face stiffened, looking at X...After the meal, Dugu City and Luoli drank wine, while Fenglingxi stood at the door watching the snow. Although it was not unusual for it to snow, Fenglingxi still liked the feeling of snowflakes falling.

"Heard you were looking for me"

A melodious voice reached Feng Lingxi's ears. She turned around and saw a woman dressed like an ordinary peasant, perhaps in her thirties or forties. However, her eyes were sharp and piercing, unlike the humble demeanor of common peasant women. They gave off a very insightful feeling.

"Are you the innkeeper"

The woman nodded, standing beside Feng Ling Xi, “I heard from the little waiter that you really like the hot pot I made.”

Feng Ling's body trembled slightly, "That called hot pot"

The woman looked at her, smiled and nodded, "It's my hometown dish, madam. Would you still like it"

"Like."

Feng Lingxi looked at the woman, her inner excitement was beyond words. Hometown dishes, she really was just like her, both of them transmigrated

"Where is your hometown That hot pot, it's very special."

"A very distant place, unreachable."

Feng Ling Xi's heart trembled slightly, and in her eyes, he caught a glimpse of melancholy and longing, as if she was reminiscing about her homeland.

"How could that be This world, even the greatest, is impossible to return to."

The woman looked at Feng Lingxi, smiling and shaking her head. Her helpless gaze was fixed on the snow falling from the sky, then she turned to Feng Lingxi, "It's rare to meet someone like you, someone I can talk to. Would you like to sit down with me and hear my story"

Feng Lingxi nodded, the woman reached out and motioned for her to go upstairs. Xiao Li saw this and hurriedly called out, "Madam..."

"Xiao Li, don't follow me, I have something to talk to the shopkeeper about."

"But..."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor. Looking at the decoration style upstairs, Feng Lingxi seemed like she was from another world, staring blankly.

"Since I can't go back, I decorated this place to look like home. What do you think"

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, and the woman gestured for her to sit down. After the waiter brought tea, the woman poured a cup for Feng Lingxi.

"As a woman of high status, she must be the esteemed wife of a wealthy family, isn't she"

Feng Lingxi smiled, as if in answer to her, but his eyes remained fixed on her attire.

"Shopkeeper, is your husband here with you"

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head. Feng Lingxi gave him a puzzled look. She was in her thirties or forties, wasn't she Surely she would have a husband by now

"I have not yet married, I am here waiting for one person."

"Waiting for someone"

The woman looked at Feng Lingxi and said with a smile, "To be precise, I should have arrived."

Feng Lingxi frowned, and soon understood, the person she was waiting for was her. Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up and guardedly looked at her, "Are you talking about me"

The woman did not rise, looking at Feng Lingxi's appearance, she became even more certain of her thoughts.

"It should be you."

Feng Lingxi frowned, she wasn't sure if it was definitely her, then why would she say that

Ten years ago, I fell seriously ill. After waking up, I found myself in this strange world. I tried every means possible to go back, but all failed. My parents thought I was possessed by evil spirits and invited a Taoist priest to our house, but they were just swindling us out of food and drink. Until seven years ago, I met a wandering young Taoist priest who told me that I would have seven more years before returning to my original place.

Feng Ling Xi's face gradually paled. This woman was just like her, both from the future.

What happened next

"Later, I asked the Taoist priest why it was seven years. The Taoist priest said to wait for someone who could help me go back."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "What kind of person can let you go back"

The woman smiled, “I’m just waiting for someone like me, then I’ll go back.”

I don't quite understand what you mean.

The woman poured Feng Lingxi a cup of tea and motioned for her to sit down. Feng Lingxi sat down, looked at the smile on the woman's face, and suddenly panicked.

"The Daoist said, 'Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. In short, thank you.'"

"Thank me"

Feng Lingxi subconsciously swallowed her saliva. The woman's words made her uneasy.

I miss home.

The woman looked at Feng Lingxi, "Do you miss home"

Feng Lingxi didn't know what layer of meaning the woman's words held. The woman handed her a pouch, "I've run this inn for seven years, and no one has ever asked me about this hot pot before, nor has anyone been this nervous about the word. Even fewer have made me feel like I'm seeing relatives from my hometown. So, I think you and I are probably not from the same world."

"You..."

Feng Lingxi rose to her feet, instinctively putting herself on guard. She couldn't go back; she had a home here, people who loved her and whom she loved.

“This pouch was given to me by the Daoist priest. He said that if I met someone like me, who wasn't from this world, I should give them this pouch. Perhaps it would be of help to them someday. I’m giving you the pouch. If you are like me, then please accept it.”

Feng Lingxi looked at the woman, her hand clenching the embroidered pouch tighter. "Can everyone go back"

The Taoist priest didn't say anything, just said, "Let me give this to the person destined for me."

"What's the Taoist priest's name"

The woman said that since the Daoist priest was young, she might still be able to find him and get some answers.

"Unstained."

Windling pondered the name repeatedly, nodding to the woman. "Thank you."

The woman smiled, looking at Feng Lingxi's admission. She was finally able to return to her world.

"There are some last words, Taoist priest once told me, since you and I come from the same place, I will tell you, perhaps it will be helpful to you in the future."

Feng Lingxi nodded, the woman poured her a cup of tea. Feng Lingxi took a sip, the hot steam rising slowly, and the woman began to speak. But for some reason, Feng Lingxi only felt her head getting heavier and heavier, dizzy and drowsy, until she finally fell asleep on the table.

Xiaoli stood at the door for over an hour, but the princess didn't come out. She was a little worried and knocked on the door, but there was no response inside. Xiaoli couldn't help but panic. She hurriedly patted the door and shouted, "Princess."

Still no response, Xiaoli couldn't help herself, she broke in and saw the princess lying on the table, the room was empty.

"Your Majesty."

Xiao Li hurriedly stepped forward to wake Feng Ling Xi. Feng Ling Xi opened her eyes, her head aching slightly, and quickly sat up, "Xiao Li, what's going on"

"Your Highness, you scared the maid to death! I told you not to come in alone, but you wouldn't listen..."

In her ear was Xiao Li's murmur, Feng Ling Xi looking at the brocade pouch on the table, hurriedly put it away, looking around the room empty.

"Little Li, has the shopkeeper gone out"

Xiao Li shook her head. Feng Ling Xi got up and walked to the window. The window was sealed very tightly, with no sign of ever being opened. After searching the bedroom, she didn't see the shopkeeper anywhere. The words the woman had said echoed in Feng Ling Xi's ears.

She said she came, and when she came she could leave. Could it be that she really left. She killed my grandfather and wants to catch me.""Ma'am, please speak softly, someone might be listening over the wall."The old man beside the young girl reminded her, his eyes sweeping over the sur...
