n demoted to a junior consort. It seemed that the position in the imperial harem was truly not easy to hold."Your Majesty, this servant knows she was wrong. Please forgive her this once…""Master Zhang...Feng Lingxi came back to her senses, "It's nothing, it's a secret between me and her, don't ask."
Since Qiu'er pleaded with her like this, Feng Lingxi didn't want to expose her secret. After all, she could tell Dugu City that she was doing well in the Yao Clan, and for her, it wasn't a bad thing. The only question was why she had to hide it from them. Was she really a member of the Yao Clan
Feng Lingxi didn't know, but this autumn, it could be considered a breakthrough for the Yaozu of the Ghost Saint Kingdom.
If you don't want to say, just don't say.
Shangguan Huan truly cared for Qiu'er. Seeing her pleading eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi, he couldn't bear to see her unhappy. Watching her anxiously on the verge of tears, he was afraid she would say something, and his heart ached painfully. All he wanted was for her to be happy.
Autumn looked at Shangguan Huan, nodded, and expressed her thanks.
To her attitude, Shangguan Huan had long been accustomed.
"During my time in the mountains, I discovered that the Yao people here have no connection whatsoever to my own Yao people."
Feng Lingxi thought about her own status, and she felt heartbroken.
"How do you say"
"My Lord, I am so insignificant there. I have no status, just like a fallen leaf."
When it came to Luoli, Qiu'er's eyes clearly changed, but she didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Dugu Cheng saw Qiu'er's reaction and seemed to understand the meaning of Xi'er's words.
"Doesn't Luoli have a status Isn't he the chief of the Yao clan"
"Speaking isn't as prestigious as the Elder's position. Do you think he has a high status"
Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, "Are you hungry Let's order some food and rest for the night. We'll go home tomorrow."
"I…"
Autumn just opened her mouth, then hesitated, "Can I walk with you"
Of course, if you don't come with us, wouldn't Shangguan Huan have to stay behind too
Feng Lingxi gave Shangguan Huan a wink. Seeing Shangguan Huan's grateful gaze, Feng Lingxi looked at Qiu’er, "Take you back to my Yao clan, there, you are very free and won't be troubled."
Thank you.
Qiuer said, "Thank you," and added, "I'm a bit tired."
"Go to sleep for a bit, and when you wake up, I'll make you something to eat. And by the way, I'll take a look at you then."
Autumn said thank you and then closed her eyes to rest.
Feng Lingxi and others came out, but Shangguan Huan did not follow them. Instead, he stayed behind to take care of Qiuer.
"Xier, is this Qiu'er really a Yao from the Ghost Saint Kingdom"
"Isn't that obvious The fact that she was able to enter the Treasure Pavilion means her identity is extraordinary. As for who she exactly is, I have no clue. Just keep her around anyway, maybe she'll tell us later."
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's relaxed expression, and found that she had changed a lot on this trip to Yaozu. She was not as heavy-hearted as before, perhaps because Wan'er had changed her.
But that's good too, this is the life she deserves.
"Wǎn'er, what would you like to eat, my dear"
"Chicken leg."
Wan'er spoke, "Big chicken leg."
Feng Ling xi pointed two fingers at her and smiled, "Two enough"
Waner happily nodded and kissed Dugu City on the cheek, “Thank you.”
Dugu Cheng heard this thanks, somewhat amused and touched.
"This is your mother's food, you thank me and she won't be happy."
"Oh no, I'm not that petty."
Feng Lingxi walked out, called over a waiter, ordered a table of dishes, and asked Ye Xi and Xiao Li to take a seat together for dinner. She also ordered a portion for Shangguan Huan and told the waiter to deliver it to his room.
"Queen, is the Yao tribe fun"
As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, Xiao Li retorted, "It definitely won't be fun. How could the Yao Clan be fun like that"
Feng Lingxi shook her head, "It's not that bad, it's actually quite fun and enjoyable."
Seeing Wan'er nod in agreement, Feng Lingxi's smile widened at the corner of her lips, "My Wan'er is so good, she plays with them happily."
"Mommy's awesome."
The mother and daughter blew bubbles together. Dugu City watched their interaction with confusion, wondering what could have happened to make Wan'er look up to Xi'er so much
"Your drumstick."
When the dishes arrived, Feng Lingxi took a chicken leg for Wan'er. Looking at Wan'er's happy smile, Feng Lingxi was in a very good mood.
"Xi'er, tell me about the Yao clan."
Du Gu Cheng asked, Feng Ling Xi shook her head, "I have said what I should say. The rest is unspeakable. It's best not to tell you once we leave here."
This is unspeakable. Dugu Cheng thought of Qiu'er, perhaps it was her affair, or maybe Luoli.
After dinner, Ye Xi received a letter from Ye Mei saying that she wanted to meet Dugu City.
Dugu Cheng agreed and made an appointment to meet at the inn in the town outside Guisheng Kingdom, a rather humble one that wasn't very conspicuous.
Feng Lingxi applied medicine to Qiuer's wound. Qiuer's injuries were not serious, and there was no problem with rushing the journey. After all, they had a carriage, so it was fine to take their time.
After a day's journey, they arrived at the agreed-upon inn.
After settling Feng Lingxi and the others, Dugu City and Ye Xi went to see Ye Mei. They didn't bring Feng Lingxi along. Although Feng Lingxi was curious, she didn't ask too much, perhaps thinking that the conversation between Dugu City and Ye Mei wasn't something she should know.
"Master, my subordinates have received no less than ten offers to assassinate the madam. They are planning attacks along the way."
"Is it expensive"
Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Mei, his eyes cold, with no warmth whatsoever.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold."
"That's pretty valuable."
Dugu Cheng's words shocked Ye Mei. Isn't the King tired of living Isn't he going to take this job
"Forum poster, what do you mean by that"
Night Mei asked cautiously, and Dugu Cheng glanced coldly, “Next, I will personally take this order.”
"This..."
Ye Xi looked at the King and wondered if he was really going to continue
If the princess knew that the prince had taken a job to kill her for 100,000 taels of gold, she would surely be furious.
"Sir, she's a madam."
Ye Mei reminded, Dugu City's eyes were cold, Ye Mei hurriedly bowed her head.
"The subordinate doesn't understand the poster's meaning, and please clarify."
"Ten thousand taels of gold Do you think it's that easy to kill Feng Lingxi Even if I didn't take this job, someone else would. It's better for me to just take it and slowly complete the task."
How slow is slow
She always has to set deadlines for people.
"Next life."
Ye Mei immediately shut her mouth and dared not ask any further.
This poster isn't really interested in taking the order, they're just after the 100,000 taels of gold.
"A man needs both people and gold, aren't we rather poor lately Someone who can afford 100,000 taels of gold must be someone important. A big client, you see. "
"This subordinate obeys."
Ye Mei hurriedly took the order but showed no intention of leaving.
What else is there
"The King of Su has approached my subordinates, wanting to cooperate with Tianxiang Lou. My subordinates don't know how to respond and have come to consult the master."
Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Mei's stunningly beautiful face, "Did he come to Tiangxiang Building or find you"
"Tianxiang Lou."
Dugu Cheng hooked his lips, "Then agree to him, wait and see."
"Understood, sir."
Yè Mèi then withdrew, Dú Gū Chéng taking off his mask, the coldness in his eyes gradually disappearing.
"My lord, who is this buyer" They're even trying to buy the Lady's life.own."My lord, if you don't explain clearly, how can the princess know your heart Do you hope that the princess will always have opinions about you Xiaoli has someone inform the princess, it is nothing...
