nted your father to give you more dowry. If he knew I still had this one, with Liu shi's temperament, she would definitely deduct from your dowry. What your mother gives you, no matter when, is yours,..."And then there is mother."

Feng Lingxi corrected, seeing Dugu Cheng nod. It had been a long time since they had any news from Tai Hou, and she didn't know how she was doing now

"Xier, this time I failed to bring back Yu Mo. This king has broken your trust."

Dugu Cheng's expression became grave. "When we got there, Your Highness and I went to the cliff to look, but we couldn't find Yu Mo. Your Highness has expanded the search area to see if there are any villages nearby. Maybe someone rescued him."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "No news is good news, at least I haven't heard that he's gone. I believe Yu Mo will be fine."

The cliff wasn't very high, and besides, there was a pool of water at the bottom. He should still be alive.

Upon hearing this about Dugu City, Feng Lingxi nodded, "I know, I'll wait for him to come back."

Guli went to find him.

Dugu Cheng didn't hide anything and told the truth. Feng Lingxi nodded, "I know everything, that girl can't let go of her feelings for Yu Mo. Let her go, who knows, maybe she'll really find him."

"Sister!"

Lu Nian's voice broke the oppressive atmosphere between them. Feng Lingxi stood up and saw Lu Nian striding towards them. He hadn't seen Lu Nian in a few days, and his face was full of fatigue.

"I'm here, what's wrong with you"

Lu Nian took a deep breath, and Dugu City handed him a cup of water. Lu Nian drank it and calmed down before saying, "I have some bad news to tell you. Hua Yun was attacked on his way back to the capital and killed."

"Nan Gong Hua Yun is dead"

Feng Ling was shocked, how could this be

Lu Nian nodded. "I got the news and rushed over to tell you as soon as possible. I'm worried that the other party killed Nan Gong Hua Yun intending to blame you guys for it. You have to be careful yourselves."

The Southern Palace Mistress died from poisoning at the post house, and now Young Master Hua Yun is in trouble. He was sent by the Emperor, the son of the Prime Minister, and he was killed on his way back to the capital. This is too bold.

"Xier, this king will bring people to take a look."

Dugu Cheng looked at Lu Nian, "Please take this king to the scene of the incident."

"I'll go with you to see what's going on."

Feng Ling Xi wanted to follow but was stopped by Du Gu Cheng, "You wait for us at the residence."

Lu Nian watched Feng Ling Xi wanting to follow, hurriedly stopped her, "Listen to me, wait for your brother to come back."

After saying that, he followed Dugu City's footsteps and left Chen Wangfu.

"Mother, why don't Father and Uncle ever bring you along"

Wan'er looked up and asked, Feng Lingxi pulled Wan'er to her side and said softly, "Wan'er, because this time I have to go to investigate the case, my mother has to stay at home with you."

But Wan'er, it's okay if you don't bring anything with you.

Feng Lingxi patted her head and held Wan'er's hand. "Come on, let's go eat something. This afternoon, you can go to the apothecary with your mother. Didn't you always want to learn medicine Your mother will take you to class."

"Okay."

Wan'er skipped happily, allowing Feng Lingxi to lead her away.

獨孤城 walked out of the Chen Wangfu and was stopped by Lu Nian.

"Prince Chen, Master Hua Yun's body has been transported back to the post house. It is heavily guarded there now. They didn't say before for fear that Axier would know."

Dugu City nodded, said thank you, and took Lu Nian to the inn.

As soon as the group entered the inn, the soldiers inside hurriedly parted ways to make room for them. In the courtyard of the inn lay the body of Nangong Huayun. Besides his corpse, none of the attendants who had accompanied Nangong Huayun survived.

"These people are ruthless, they killed everyone."

Looking at the corpse being carried back to the ground, Ye Xi was indignant.

Dugu City knelt down before the body of Nangong Huayun, lifting the white cloth and looking at Nangong Huayun's corpse. He looked at the scratch marks on his neck, which were not fatal wounds.

"Hua Yun Gongzi's fatal wound was in his abdomen, with multiple injuries on his body. It seems he engaged in a fierce struggle before his death."

"Have the coroner come to perform an autopsy and report the findings to the court."

獨孤城 walked out of the inn, it was already very late. Lu Nian was with him, they checked the body together, both their faces were not looking good.

"Did you notice anything"

"The eldest son of the Prime Minister's residence, the imperial envoy sent by the court. If they were truly apprehensive, they wouldn't have resorted to such a treacherous act."

Dugu Cheng glanced around, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, his eyes were slightly cold.

"The court is probably going to send someone again soon."

"I'm afraid this matter will be placed on your head again."

Lu Nian was worried about the very thing Du Gucheng was concerned about. The court now probably intended to take action against Du Gucheng. With this imperial envoy encountering trouble on Du Gucheng's territory, Du Gucheng would be unable to escape responsibility.

"Highly probable."

Dugu City looked at Lu Nian, "Do you want to leave Linxi County before they arrive If you stay, you might get caught in the middle of it all."

"What did I do Why should I leave Besides, I'm just the owner of a teahouse, am I being treated like a murderer"

Lu Nian's voice carried a hint of displeasure. He wanted to see if the emperor of this great Yuan Dynasty really didn't distinguish between right and wrong, wanting to get rid of his sister.

“It’s really possible.”

After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, Lu Nian coldly responded, “Then we'll see how much guts they have to come and trouble me.”

獨孤城拍拍他的肩膀，“既然不願走，那就留下吧，隻要有本王在，定會護你周全。”

"Don't worry about it. If your sister heard this, she might think there's something shady going on between us. That would damage my reputation. Anyone who dares to mess with me better make sure they have ten lives."

Don't even touch him, and no one from the Lu family is allowed to touch him either. Otherwise, you'll all die.

獨孤城 nodded, "Don't tell Xi'er about this when we go back, so as not to worry her."

She'll find out eventually, and even if she does, she'll accept it. My sister isn't as fragile as you think.

Duguxing's eyes darkened, and he took a deep breath. "Perhaps in the end, I still wronged her. I promised to help her find Yumo, but I failed."

"Wind Feather Ink, I've found him. He's still alive, but his condition isn't good. He's severely injured and has been recuperating. Once he's recovered, I'll bring him back."

"Is that really true"

Dugu Cheng's eyes lit up, seeing Lu Nian nod, he was ecstatic.

"Where did you find him My people have been searching for him for a long time without any news."

"After he fell off the cliff, a hunter who went up the mountain to hunt found him and brought him back. He was still alive when we found him, and he couldn't walk down at the time, but don't worry, I have sent someone to treat him."

"How serious is it"

When Dugu Cheng heard what Lu Nian said, he only hoped to recover from his injuries.

"It's tough, but it can be cured."

Lu Nian's words were like a reassurance, letting Dugu Cheng relax. If it could be cured, once Feng Yu Mo returned to Xi'er lively and kicking, Xi'er wouldn't be so heartbroken. wanted to meet Xi Er""Fourth Princess, you wanted to see me today. Since you've come looking for me, you have to follow my rules."Luo Li offered her the tea, "This poison isn't difficult."Feng Lingxi...
