w. It's just that it's unknown whether he can negotiate a deal. Even General Li hasn't sent any news yet. A touch of worry appeared in Dugu City's eyes. If this continues, he will only be able to go t..."The tribal army has completely withdrawn from the Yao people's territory."

"Retreating"

Feng Lingxi was astonished. How did they get the news of Yao Zhi's death so quickly

This news is too brilliant, could there be spies from the tribal clans within the Yao clan

It was the Fourth Prince who led his troops to drive back the large army of the tribal people.

Upon hearing Shadow Six's words, Feng Lingxi was shocked. How could Dugu City know that the tribe came here today

"Where are the others"

Feng Lingxi's eyes were fixed on the exit. Ying Liu saw Shengzhu's reluctant expression and said in a low voice, "We just left not long ago. If Shengzhu chases us now, it would still be in time."

Feng Lingxi raised her foot, but quickly put it down again and retracted her gaze.

"Alright, let's retreat then."

"Your Highness, are you not going to look for the King"

Seeing the Princess’s attitude, Xiao Li hurriedly asked, “Princess, are you still angry about what happened that day”

Feng Lingxi turned around, "There are still many things to deal with in the clan. Shadow Six, give him a message for me and tell him thank you."

He helped her so much, it's only polite to say thank you.

Feng Lingxi returned to the Holy Maiden's Hall, Xiao Li following behind her. Seeing the heavy worry on the Queen's face, she walked up to her side and said, "Your Highness, are you still angry with the King"

"What's there to be angry about."

Feng Lingxi, though she said so, had a knot in her heart. She refused to believe that the person she loved would blame her for this. She thought Dugu Cheng would love her more, but in the end, he loved the child, not her.

Although she wasn't from this world, she felt she had already been tolerant enough towards Dugu City. Perhaps, she hadn't completely become a part of this place yet and couldn't understand such thoughts. What she desired might be too high, something Dugu City couldn't achieve.

She had many questions in her heart, and she also wanted to ask Dugucheng what he was thinking. But she didn't have time now, so she could only think of waiting until things were over and finding a chance to ask him clearly.

If he continues to act this way, she can only say their緣分 has come to an end.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Master may not be truly angry about the child. Perhaps he is angry because Your Majesty did not explain things clearly to him."

Xiao Li now deeply regrets it, the events from that evening. Perhaps she should have clarified things with the King and inquired further about the Queen's situation.

Perhaps, now, the princess and the prince wouldn't have fallen out like this.

"No matter the reason, I don't want to think about it now. I'm too tired. I still have a lot of things to do and my brain isn't up to it."

Feng Lingxi withdrew her mind, "Go find Yao Chu for me, I have something to ask him."

Now that she has just become the Saint Lord, there are many things she needs to deal with. She has to take care of all the big and small matters within the Yao Clan. In addition, the elders of the Yao Clan also need to be re-elected. While Luo Li is still in the Yao Clan, she can ask him if she doesn't understand anything, and quickly finish up the affairs of the Yao Clan and return to her normal life.

Dugu City returned with a large army, moving very slowly along the way. He would occasionally look back, watching behind him, but he couldn't see the figure he wanted to see. That lonely look made Huangpu Qingyun beside him frown.

If you can't let her go, why not go see her

"Yingliu said that the situation inside was under Luo Li's control. And, if this king entered, it would only make her unhappy. She doesn't like relying on this king and wouldn't want to be told that her position as Saintess was secured by this king's army."

On New Year's Eve, he learned the truth. If he had stayed with Xi’er all night, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened. But he hadn't stayed with her, and now he couldn't face her.

Yè Xī glanced at the Wangye, and followed suit, "I really don't understand. Since Wangye truly loves his Consort, what's there that can't be said Who wouldn't feel distressed hearing such news Wangye and Consort should talk about it. Perhaps the Consort would feel a little better in her heart. Wangye, you and your Consort should talk things out. After all, you are both still young. Isn't wanting a child not easy"

"You don't understand."

Alone City returned to Ye Xi a sentence, he wouldn't possibly understand what this child means to him and Xi'er.

"My subordinates may not understand, but at least they aren't as awkward as the prince. If there's something, just say it. The prince is happy, the princess is happy, isn't that a good thing This kind of suspicion... now this princess spends every day with the Yao Clan leader. What if..."

"Xi'er can't."

Huangfu Qingyun interrupted Ye Xi's words, "She is not like that."

"Brother Huangfu is right, Xi'er isn't like that. At most, she might be heartbroken towards me and doubtful about her original choice."

Dugu Cheng's eyes were fixed ahead, Xi'er's words, he still remembered them fresh in his mind.

If that day he betrayed their feelings, Xi'er would leave him without hesitation.

Dugu Cheng's handsome eyes darkened, lost in thought.

He wanted to talk things over with Xi’er, but the current situation wasn't suitable. He could only wait and try his best to reduce Xi’er’s dissatisfaction with him.

"Since everything is alright here, Xier, I'll depart for the Huang Xia Dynasty tomorrow. Please let me know if you need any help with arrangements."

Huangfu Qingyun spoke, remaining there, watching the couple like this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Du Gu Cheng responded, his gaze following Huang Fu Qing Yun's distant eyes as he spoke, "If one day this king and Xi'er truly parted ways, would you take her away"

"Yes."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún answered without hesitation, her gaze fixed on Dúlǔ Chéng's. "I don't want such a day to come, so please, protect your marriage well. Whether or not Xī'ěr is worth your love, you know best."

Duguyan retracted his gaze. Over the past year, he and Xier had shared so many moments, big and small. Yet, because of the miscarriage, he'd hurt Xier deeply. In the end, he realized he hadn't loved her enough.

When the army returned to Linxi County, Dugu City received the latest intelligence. Several small countries nearby were planning to attack Linxi County due to the conflict between him and the Great Yuan Dynasty, as well as the constant skirmishes that had been ignited over time.

Five hundred thousand soldiers were stationed here, and the imperial court also started to find ways to get him to hand over his military power. However, Dugu City knew very well that if he surrendered his military power, the imperial court would truly not tolerate him.

Now that Xi'er has inherited the position of Saint Lord, Empress Cen will definitely summon Xi'er next to start plotting the relocation of the Yao Clan treasures. The ambitions of Dugu Yu and Dugu Xiu in the capital are already evident. If Dugu Yan can handle it, the matter of the Yao Clan treasures will certainly be brought up. If she can't handle it, perhaps it might buy some time.

But if this matter were to spread among the Yao Clan, it would surely be detrimental to Xi'er.

Dugu Cheng furrowed his brows. Matters needed to be resolved quickly; he couldn't allow Xi'er's situation to become passive. Otherwise, with all parties vying for the Yao Clan's treasure, her safety would be in immense danger.se two days. Instead, he came two days later. Only then did Dugu City remember his appointment with this Young Master Huayun."Let him in."Dugu Cheng put away the file, and Nan Gong Huayun walked in wi...
