Chapter 679: The Riot of Yao - 49

matter over to him, and he felt something was amiss. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be handled by Dugu Xiu. The only explanation was that Dugu Yan had begun to suspect Dugu Xiu's motiv...There's one more thing I want to tell you.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City silently, "I let Yao Shu go, and asked him to do something for me."

“Did you let Yao Shu go”

Du Gu Cheng's face changed slightly, "He almost took Xiao Li's life, you just let him go like this"

Once Dugu Cheng uttered those words, he immediately regretted it. Looking at Xi'er's gaze, his eyes fluttered in panic. Just as he was about to explain, Feng Lingxi said, "Yao Shu only attacked Xiaoli because Yao Zhi instigated him. I can't kill him; he is important to me for dealing with Yao Zhi. If he doesn't help me, I won't be able to obtain all of Yao Zhi's evidence."

"Yao Zhi"

Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, "What kind of evidence would it take to bring down this Yao Zhi"

Feng Lingxi's expression turned serious. "Yao Zhi is primarily responsible for communication with the Yao clan and the outside world. According to Yao Chu, the Yao clan's treasure has been targeted by various countries, and it is likely that he is behind it all. I need to find evidence of his betrayal of the Yao clan. Only then can I uproot Yao Zhi from the Yao clan."

Seeing Dugu Cheng raise his eyebrows, Feng Lingxi comforted him, "I must handle the Yao Clan's affairs cleanly. Only then can I stop being affected by them, and my mother will be safe."

"If everything Yao Shu said is false, do you believe Yao Shu"

“The evidence I've collected recently proves that Yao Zhi is the most dangerous among the elders. He's cunning and manipulative. This time in the Yao clan, he nearly got us killed. I can't leave him alive. Since he wants the position of Holy Master, the news of Yao Shu's death in the Yao clan has spread. Luo Li and I went down the mountain. Now, he is secretly forming alliances in the Yao clan, plotting to eliminate me during the succession ceremony. Luo Li and I agree that we should take this opportunity to eliminate Yao Zhi, just like we did with Yao Qing.”

Feng Ling Xi told Dugu Cheng her plan. She had Shadow Six run back and forth as a messenger while she was in Yaozu, but most importantly, she had Aman and Sun Cheng investigate those who Yao Zhi had contacted. Yao Zhi had met many princes and grandsons over the years following Yao Qing, and those with ill intentions all wanted to get their hands on the Yaozu treasure. Yao Zhi exploited their greed for the Yaozu treasure, using them to take down the Holy Lord.

The position of the Saint Lord in the Yao clan is not so easily shaken, so after the exposure of her mother's identity these years, Yao Zhi's conspiracy also began, plotting against their mother and daughter in every possible way.

If Yao Shu had not always been eyeing the position of the Holy Lord, Yao Zhi would not have endured until now without success.

"Is what Aman investigated completely credible"

"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 in Dugu Cheng's eyes, "My mother's shadow guard is only her last one left. I owe her a life-saving grace, and what's more, I am my mother's only daughter. The shadow guards of Yao Clan only listen to their master, and they do not accept any other orders. I have also investigated the loyalty of the shadow guards carefully, including Shadow Six and them. Amian helping me is also helping my mother, so she is trustworthy."

Feng Ling Xi's unwavering gaze made Du Gu Cheng uneasy. "What about Luo Li Do you trust him too"

"All I need to know is that he can protect my safety within the Yao clan. As for everything else, I don't need to investigate further. As long as he doesn't turn against me, he's not my enemy, and I have no need to conflict with him."

Isn't it good to live a good life

She didn't want to make more enemies; she already had enough. She only wanted to calm the Yao Clan situation and ensure her own safety.

Hearing Xi'er's words, Dugu Cheng only then realized that the peaceful life Xi'er desired was something he had never been able to give her. From their marriage to now, too many people had appeared around Xi'er, and they all wanted to eliminate her. And as her husband, he had never been able to protect her properly.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City for half a ring without making a sound, and then fell silent.

"Go back."

Taking his hand, she walked back. Dugu Cheng tightened his grip on her hand, looking at her small face and feeling guilty.

There are some things he shouldn't dwell on, he should let go.

"Later, this king will go out for a while to take care of some business. You stay at the manor and don't wander off."

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, not asking him what he was going out to do. She had said enough today, but she still hadn't found the words to talk about the child. Feng Lingxi thought about it, then gave up. After all, this matter was hidden deep in her heart, and it was enough for her to know the sadness alone; there was no need to let him share it.

Thinking about it this way, Feng Lingxi's heart wasn't so entangled anymore. After Dugu City went out, Feng Lingxi rested in the room with Xiao Li.

Aman and Yingliu went back and forth to Fenglingxi's room, explained some after-matters, and then left separately.

"My lord, a letter from the emperor."

Ye Xi stepped forward, handing the letter to the King. Looking at the King's cold side profile, today after the Queen and the King finished speaking, the King was like a changed person. He summoned many of his old subordinates. Ye Xi understood that the King had begun to act.

For the princess, for a stable life for the princess.

23rd day of the 12th lunar month

According to legend, on the eve of the small New Year, Luo Li sent someone early in the morning to invite Feng Ling Xi. She agreed to go see that divine doctor today to treat Feng Yu Mo's eyes. Early in the morning, Feng Yu Mo got up and saw fifteen calling him, so he took Xiao Mi to the front door and got on the carriage.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng were waiting for him in the carriage. Seeing Xiaomi supporting Feng Yumuo up, they immediately reached out to help her and pulled Feng Yumuo to sit beside them.

Tian Xiaomi looked at Dugu City beside Feng Lingxi and unconsciously moved closer to Feng Yumou's side, stiffly smiling and sitting aside very obediently. These days she had deliberately inquired, this Dugu City besides being good to Feng Lingxi, was indifferent to other women. She didn't want to be scolded for it.

"You are here, the king and Luo Li are together."

Dugu Cheng comforted Feng Lingxi's hand, and when Feng Lingxi nodded, he got out of the carriage.

"Your Majesty, does the King find it disagreeable to ride in a carriage with me"

Tian Xiaomi watched as Dugu Cheng left, asking in a low voice, before Feng Lingxi could answer, Feng Yumuo comforted her, "Xiaomi don't think too much, your brother-in-law is not such a person, he probably wants to go with the clan chief so that he doesn't have to go alone."

"Yu Mo is right, don't overthink it."

Feng Lingxi looked at Yumo's soft smile, these days it seemed that Tian Xiaomi and Yumo got along very well, able to understand and protect the people around him.

Tiany Xiaomi nodded, looked at Feng Yu Mo, and winked at Feng Ling Xi. Feng Ling Xi looked at Feng Yu Mo, and looked at Tian Yi Xiaomi in confusion. Tian Yi Xiaomi pointed at Feng Yu Mo's eyes, leaned down to Feng Ling Xi's ear and whispered, "He seems to be able to see sometimes."ings to the Empress.""Fourth Royal Consort, you may forego the formalities. Your body seems to be…""I've already said, dispense with the formalities. Since you're feeling well, just sit here with me."...
