Chapter 656: Yao's Rebellion 26

the emperor said, it is best to investigate everything thoroughly to avoid causing a war between the two countries.The name of this Lone City War God is not undeserved. If a real war broke out betwee...But, whether or not what he said was true couldn't change the fact that he caused Feng Lingxi to miscarry.

Feng Lingxi's killing intent towards him was clear for all to see. Everyone in the Yao clan understood, but no one dared speak up. They only awaited Feng Lingxi's judgment. However, after all these years, Yao Chu had both contributed to and suffered for the Yao clan. Perhaps Feng Lingxi would take this into consideration and spare Yao Chu.

Or perhaps, after time had passed and Feng Lingxi's anger subsided, they began to intercede for Yao Chu.

“I didn’t mean that. If I wanted to forgive him, I wouldn’t have just locked him up. I put him in jail so that you could deal with him yourself.”

"Just shut it. Old grudges and new grievances, not everyone is here, he Yao Shu alone isn't enough to repay."

Feng Lingxi stared at Luo Li, her voice was extremely cold. Her slightly narrowed eyes were like a sharp blade, emitting a chilling coldness that made people apprehensive.

"Your Highness, please take care of your health."

Xiaoli watched the murderous intent hidden in the Queen's eyes, reaching out to grab her hand, her eyes filled with worry.

"Relax, I know what I'm doing. Take care of yourself and don't worry about the rest."

Xiaoli still wanted to say something, but Feng Lingxi instructed her to rest well and have Shi Si look after her before leaving.

"Chief."

Xiao Li called out to Luo Li, her eyes full of pleading. "These days, I trouble you to keep an eye on the Princess. I'm worried that she might act impulsively."

The princess's murderous gaze just now really scared her. She was truly afraid the princess would lose control and hurt herself.

Nodding, she thought of Feng Lingxi's reaction these past few days, "Get well soon. You can persuade her better than me."

Feng Lingxi exited Xiao Li's room and did not return to her own, but instead walked towards the Yao Clan prison. Luo Li caught up with her footsteps, and then understood why Xiao Li had him watch Feng Lingxi. She was truly enraged to the point of being unbearable.

"Holy maiden, please wait!"

Yao Zhi intended to go find the chieftain, but when he saw Feng Ling Xi come out, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and with a concerned expression, asked, "Holy Maiden, how is your recovery going"

"Three Elders, is there something the matter"

Luoli followed closely behind, her eyes turning cold as she saw Yaozhi blocking Feng Lingxi's path.

Yao hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, "Chieftain, I only care about the Saintess's health, nothing else."

"Don't worry, Elder Three, I'm doing well."

Feng Ling Xi glanced coldly, the killing intent in her eyes flashed and disappeared. Yao Zhi sensed it, hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "That's good, that's good."

"Chief, let's go."

Fifteen hurried to keep up with Feng Lingxi's pace, looking at the chieftain beside her, she could understand why the chieftain had her follow the holy maiden step by step. These people were truly incorrigible, they actually harbored murderous intent towards the holy maiden, it was despicable.

"Didn't you say you wanted to deal with Yao Shu Why did you go back to prison"

Luoli caught up with Fengling's footsteps and, seeing her silence, added, "Just now Yao Zhi had murderous intent towards you. These past few days, I went to see Yao Chu, and he said that he was misled by Yao Zhi and only acted out of anger towards Xiaoli. He truly didn't intend to harm you."

Feng Ling Xi remained as silent as ever, but the depths of her eyes grew colder.

Within the prison cell, Yao Chu heard a noise and thought it was the clan leader again. When he saw that it was Feng Lingxi, he instinctively took two steps back. Looking at Feng Lingxi's cold face, he recalled her standing in the snow that day, her eyes fixed on him, filled with murderous intent. It haunted his dreams every night, making him dream of being dismembered by her.

He always thought she wanted to kill him because he injured her maidservant, Xiaoli. Until the tribal chief told him that he not only seriously injured Xiaoli, but also caused her recently conceived fetus to be lost, killing the future heir of Yao tribe.

Not until that moment did Yao Shu realize the magnitude of his crime. He could have gotten away with killing the maidservant Xiaoli, but killing the heir apparent of the Yao clan was a sin beyond forgiveness, one that would even implicate his family.

At this moment when Yao Shu saw Feng Lingxi, he realized that he was terribly wrong.

He shouldn't have listened to Yao Zhi's nonsense, and he shouldn't have greedily taken things that weren't his.

The eldest of the Yao clan held a position of great power and influence, second only to the supreme leader. Yet, he recklessly pushed himself into the most precarious position imaginable, leaving him trapped with no way out, unable to survive.

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, sizing up Yao Chu. The chill radiating from her body caused Yao Chu to kneel down. This move surprised even Luo Li. As the eldest elder of the Yao Clan, Yao Chu disliked Feng Lingxi and would never kneel before her.

Feng Lingxi didn't react much to Yao Chu's attitude. In her heart, even if he committed suicide in front of her, it couldn't change the consequences he caused. No one had the right to just move on without an apology afterwards.

"Yao Shu, what do you mean by this"

Luo Li saw Feng Ling Xi's fury but remained silent. He spoke in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Feng Ling Xi, afraid she would act impulsively.

Feng Lingxi stood right before Yao Chu, separated by the prison bars. She looked at Yao Chu, her gaze making his lips twitch but he didn't speak, just stared back at Feng Lingxi. Under her intense gaze, he remained kneeling.

The atmosphere was heavy with a chill. Luo Li sighed when she saw Yao Chu like this.

"Knowing this today, why bother in the first place."

"Chieftain, my subordinate knows that what I say is useless. I have said everything I should have said that day. Chieftain, if you trust me, let me die with some understanding."

Yao Shu looked at Feng Lingxi, "Holy Maiden, I know I was wrong, but this fault is not entirely mine. If you had told me sooner that you were pregnant, even if I was impulsive, I would have held back. It was your silence that led to this. The child was the future heir of the Yao clan. Although I didn't kill the child, I am still implicated. I admit my guilt, but I must also say, although my sin is unforgivable, I was also under some influence. Holy Maiden, if you truly want to clean up the turmoil within the Yao clan, then it should be thorough, not just finding fault with me and pushing me out as a scapegoat."

Feng Lingxi looked at her coldly, without refuting his words. Her indifference made Luo Li beside her worry.

I don't know why she's here. What's so interesting about Yao Shu's face

"Saintess."

Yao Shu looked up at Feng Lingxi, who was silent. Seeing that she didn't react, he looked at Luo Li, his eyes full of suspicion.

"You also know that you are guilty."

Feng Lingxi's voice was icy cold, her sharp eyes fixed on Yao Chu's face. The killing intent in her eyes made Yao Chu's expression change drastically. He instinctively took two steps back, looking at Feng Lingxi in terror, afraid that she would rush over and strangle him.

"A single word is unforgivable, you almost killed Xiaoli, killing my child, my mother. Yao Chu, if I were to kill your whole family today because of your mistake, afterwards I would say to you, I am unforgivable, can you forgive me"ghness, this general will take his leave."Although he belongs to the Princess's control, this is still the King's domain, and respect is still due."Xier, are you full yet"Looking at the almost empty p...
