Chapter 705: The Rebellion of the Yao, Part 75

, eventually, all would be resolved. The life she desired would come.In the dining hall, when Empress Dowager Shu saw them enter hand-in-hand, she beckoned Feng Lingxi to sit beside her. She then took...She hadn't seen Yu Mo in a long time. This time she came back without saying a word to him, and she didn't know if Yu Mo and Xiaomi would blame her.

Then pack up and take a trip down the mountain.

Luo Li broke into a smile. “The weather is nice today, and we can even enjoy the flower lanterns tonight. This Lantern Festival has such a lively atmosphere. Going down the mountain will be a good chance to relax.”

Feng Lingxi responded in a voice that was cool and collected, her expression still as indifferent as ever, showing no sign of excitement.

Luo Li was already accustomed to her such reaction.

Since becoming the Holy Mother, Feng Lingxi has always been like this, and the reason is because of her previous miscarriage.

Although Yao Shu sincerely apologized, the consequences he caused remained unchangeable. However, his loyalty to Feng Lingxi was unexpected and steadfast.

As he descended the mountain, Feng Ling only had Xiaoli and fourteen or fifteen with him. Luo Li's shadow guards never followed him; his party was simple as they went down the mountain.

"Your Highness, shall we return to the City Lord's Mansion"

All the way, the Princess didn't utter a single word. She held the scroll of the founding emperors and saints, studying it without pause. As they neared the city gates, Xiao Li spoke up, wanting to know the Princess's thoughts.

"Go straight to the Yao Clan's rest station, don't go to the city lord's mansion."

She left for so long, and Dugu City didn't send her any messages. Perhaps he couldn't forgive her. Since his answer was so obvious, she had nothing to say. She just waited like this. If he opened his mouth to separate one day, then they would separate.

Over time, nothing is truly let go.

Feng Ling's surface remained calm, but only she knew the inner turmoil and pain she endured.

She hid herself in the Holy Lord's temple on the mountain. It wasn't that she didn't want to go down the mountain, but she didn't know where she would go after she came down.

Luo Li heard this, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Do you know what Dugu City has been busy with lately"

Feng Lingxi closed her eyes and began to be silent again.

Xiaoli looked at the Queen like this, she felt very sorry for her. It seemed that she had to find a chance to go back and see what the King was doing. If he really didn't like the Queen anymore, just say it, she wouldn't help him either.

This time, the princess has really lost a lot of weight.

"Since the day Dugu City ascended to the throne, he has been busy dealing with various small countries on the border and several tribes who colluded with Yao Zhi before. There was no intention of war initially, but someone leaked information that there was a shortage of food supplies in Dugu City's territory. This caused many neighboring small countries to be restless and eager to attack Linxi County."

Feng Lingxi, hearing Luoli's words, hurriedly reached out to lift the curtain. She saw outside the carriage that there were no signs of battle.

"Luo Li said again, 'In order to prevent the people of Linxi County from suffering from the ravages of war, Dugu City led a large army, focusing on offensive tactics, and directly attacked various tribes. Counting today, it has already been the tenth day.' "

"How do you know this"

Feng Lingxi watched as the carriage entered the city. The guard at the gate saw her and his eyes lit up, hurriedly saluting.

"Refer to the Fourth Princess."

"Did Dugu City go on an expedition"

Feng Lingxi asked, the guard nodded and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please enter the city to rest. Don't wander around, it's very chaotic here, but it's safe inside the city."

"I understand." Putting down the curtain, Feng Lingxi's mood was complex.

That day going down the mountain, Dugu City was actually busy with these things. Originally, there was some sadness, but now there is more worry.

I don't know what his situation is like over there. Even though I know he has the reputation of being an undefeated war god, I can't help but worry about him.

"Your Highness, shall we return to the City Lord's Mansion later"

Xiao Li heard the guard's words and knew that the princess's heart must have been shaken. Taking advantage of the situation, she continued, "Young Master Yu Mo's body hasn't fully recovered yet, he must still be at the City Lord's Mansion. Let's go find him and ask about the situation."

"Could you please check on Yu Mo for me I have some things to attend to here."

Feng Lingxi still couldn't escape the internal struggle, even though Dugu City was dealing with the surrounding turmoil. She also had her own things to handle. Her identity as the Yao Clan Saint Lord had probably reached Empress Cen's ears, and she believed she would have to return soon. Naturally, what followed was the matter of the treasure.

“The situation in the Yuan Dynasty isn't very optimistic either. Your affairs have likely reached them, and coupled with Dugu City's actions now, there are probably quite a few people in court eyeing him. With half a million troops at his disposal, the emperor and empress dowager of the Yuan Dynasty, no matter how they feel, wouldn't allow you to continue like this. They will use the excuse of demanding treasures to gauge your attitude. Besides, with several princes from the Yuan Dynasty involved, things are only going to get harder for you in the future.”

Luoli's analysis is also what Fengling Xi worries about.

During this time together, although Luoli seems carefree and uninterested in anything, only Feng Lingxi knows that behind his nonchalance, his eyes hold a depth, his capabilities are beyond what she can even imagine.

"You are right, my good days are probably coming to an end."

Feng Lingxi gave a self-deprecating smile, looked at Luo Li looking at her, and then retracted her gaze.

"When is the chieftain planning to return"

"I don't rush to go back, anyway, the Yao people live casually wherever they are, it doesn't matter. As long as the Yao people are fine, I can travel around."

"Including establishing your own power base all over the world"

Wind Ling Xi's words caused Luo Li's eyes to narrow slightly. Her seemingly smiling yet not smiling gaze made the smile on Luo Li's lips widen.

"You could become the fourth consort of the Great Yuan Dynasty, or you could, with your superb medical skills, become a divine doctor sought after by everyone in the world. Why couldn't I establish my own power in the world, at least have a place to settle"

She departed gracefully, with a flick of her sleeves, her bearing elegant and composed.

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes swept over him, her masked inner movements. She said lightly, "Is the power established by the clan leader really just a foothold"

"Well, are you starting to doubt me"

Luo Li smiled and asked, but her eyes didn't show any sign of panic. As if joking, she continued, "How many Yao Clan people walk the world without a few identities"

"I wonder who the chieftain is There are few places in this world that a chieftain hasn't visited."

Luo Li listened to Feng Ling Xi's probing words, she just smiled faintly, lifted the curtain and glanced outside, "We're here."

Feng Ling Xi saw him avoiding the topic and didn't press further. This evasion was something she saw most often in the records of Luo Li's deeds in the Yao tribe. At only twenty-five years old, his exploits had already been recorded countless times.

Such an existence is a natural king.

Even without speaking, the fall of Li can be known by Feng Lingxi. The power that Li possesses in this world is surely one that holds sway over the court.

"Luo Li, I hope you won't turn against me."

Feng Lingxi, when getting off the carriage, passed by Luoli and said to him. Luoli smiled back, “To you, I have always been sincere.”

Then, thank you.

Stepping out of the carriage, Feng Lingxi walked into the Li residence. Suddenly, she became even more curious about Luo Li. Was he telling her that this Li Wuyan's mansion was the Yao Clan's base hereg, causing her to instinctively grasp Wind Ling Xi's arm. Her pleading eyes filled with distress touched Wind Ling Xi's heart deeply."Lay her down on top."Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, took out a silv...
