other will be caught in it.”Wind Ling Xi looked at Feng Ao Tian's indignant expression, thinking that over these past few days of Yu Xi's incident, he hadn't been given a good time, had he He had been...We searched the man in black but found nothing to prove his identity, “My Lord, there is nothing we could detect.”

"Deal with them all thoroughly. Since they came out with me, they wouldn't let me go back so easily." Feng Lingxi ordered, giving Xiaoli a wink. The two went upstairs and closed the door.

Inside the room, fourteen and fifteen were already waiting. Seeing Feng Lingxi enter, they hurriedly bowed. Feng Lingxi took her seat and looked at the two of them, asking, “Have you found any clues”

“According to the Lord's orders, my subordinates investigated Tianxiang Building and found no clues about the whereabouts of its owner. As the Lord knows, the Three Kings entered the capital and are all looking for opportunities to cooperate with the owner of Tianxiang Building.”

“It seems Tianxianglou is truly popular. All three kings have taken an interest. It appears King Pingbei is the most open about his intentions, while King Pingsou remains hidden. As for King Pingxi, with the failure of his pawn, Luo Jizhou, it's likely too late to stir up trouble.”

"Have Feng Ling XI go to Linxi County for me and deliver this letter personally to Feng Yumo." After Feng Ling Xi settled down, she took out her brush and ink, writing a letter with graceful strokes. She handed it to them and instructed, "Make sure you hand it to Feng Yumo's hands yourself."

Wind Lingxi came down from the room and looked at the corpses on the ground. Wind Lingxi's eyes swept over them, her expression cold. "How many this time"

"Four of them, by their skill, they seem to be from the martial world."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, crouched down, and checked the places where they were easy to mark their identity, but she found nothing. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes dimmed visibly.

“It seems my life is becoming more valuable.”

"Your Highness, do you think they have anything to do with the wind and rain tonight"

Little Li whispered, "This Dugu Xiu colluded with the Dan Liao tribe. She left the city, and who would know her whereabouts Someone could follow her all the way. This means that this person has been watching her."

"This doesn't necessarily mean it's a stormy evening." As the Empress Dowager said, she was now a favorite of the Empress Dowager. If those who harbored hatred for Empress Cen shifted their animosity onto her, this scapegoat might not even know how many assassination attempts she would face.

"Xiao Li, let the Yao people keep an eye on Du Gu Xiu. Since he has appeared, he won't hide in the short term. We don't aim to capture him, only to ensure he doesn't harm those close to me."

If Dugu Xiu insisted on targeting Dugu City and her, then she would only be able to protect herself.

"Your Highness, this servant believes that the Sixth Prince will surely, like the Southern and Northern Kings, come looking for the madame of Tianxiang Tower."

"We won't worry about that."

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, "If he really has such abilities, it can only mean that the tide is turning." So many people couldn't find the owner of Tianxiang Building, and if Dugu Xiu could collude with the owner of Tianxiang Building, then this would also be Dugu Xiu's skill.

Taking a glance at the sky, Feng Lingxi walked toward the inn's exit. "Let's return to the mansion, the people on the road must be waiting anxiously."

Little Li glanced at the several Yao clan guards beside her, watched the princess mount her horse and swiftly followed suit, riding back to the city.

On the way back, just as Feng Lingxi had imagined, they encountered assassins again. However, the Yao Clan's guards were always with them, and the assassins were quickly dealt with by the Yao Clan guards upon their appearance. Similarly, it was impossible to tell the identities of these assassins.

Back at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the sky had already darkened. Dugu City had returned from the palace and learned that Feng Lingxi had left the city. His eyes held a mix of wanting to scold and reluctance, which made Feng Lingxi frown.

Taking him by the hand and seating him down, Feng Ling Xi truthfully recounted her tale of leaving the city. Looking at her confident demeanor, Du Gu Cheng was mostly astonished.

"Xi'er has actually made this King worry for nothing."

Alone City let out a soft sigh, his voice filled with helplessness.

Even though he was a prince of the Yuan dynasty, in Xi'er's presence, he was utterly useless.

"Duguo City, the Yao people are spread all over the world. As the Saint Lord of the Yao clan, I wouldn't be unaware of this. Moreover, if anyone could assassinate me successfully, wouldn't that destroy the Yao clan's reputation of a thousand years"

Looking at the helplessness in Dugu City's eyes, Feng Lingxi revealed a smile.

"If I go out, I guarantee my safety."

Dugu Cheng replied, looking at Xi'er's confident eyes, and instructed, "Next time you go out, let this King accompany you, unless this King is not at the mansion."

"Okay."

Seeing the fatigue on Dugu City's face, Feng Lingxi asked, "How did you tell the Emperor about Dugu Xiu today Did he say anything, is there any punishment"

Dugu Cheng's expression grew serious. "The Emperor is furious with what Dugu Xiu has done, and has ordered this King to lead troops to eradicate the Dan Liao tribe. We will depart in three days."

"Going out again"

Feng Lingxi frowned, “These three kings entering the capital, yet you're being left alone to quell the disturbances. Even at top speed, the journey there and back will take two or three months.”

"This time, I won't take you. You have to stay in the capital and keep an eye on things for me."

"What are you looking at"

Feng Ling Xi raised an eyebrow, while Du Gu Cheng grasped her hand, his eyes full of tenderness. "Xi'er, this king knows you don't like this place, nor do you enjoy the scheming and backstabbing. This time, however, this king truly cannot take you with me. King Ping Bei and King He Nan are both staying in the capital city, and recently nothing major is expected to happen. We only need to keep an eye on them."miled faintly at Dugu City, “I have a few questions.”Dugu Cheng nodded. His matter wasn't urgent. Finding an excuse was simply a way to keep Xi'er and Dugu Yu apart, but since Xi'er wanted to talk to...
