this wasn't a sustainable solution. The Galuo nation had blockaded the exits. If they only defended and didn't attack, they couldn't withstand a prolonged stalemate with the Galuo army."Has there bee..."If we follow the Prince of Chen's words, Your Majesty is already so ill. After he saves him, he would definitely not refuse the Prince of Chen's request. After all, the identity of the Regent King is there, and the Tiger Talisman of Soldiers is also in the hands of the Prince of Chen. It's not that he wouldn't be so foolish. As long as the Prince of Chen pushes all the blame onto Prince Yu at that time, saying that the Empress Dowager was misled by Prince Yu, it would be plausible."

Being regent, above all but the emperor, what is there to fear

Li Wuyan's words were indeed appealing. Dugu City nodded, "If the Emperor really refuses, then let's do it this way." If someone had to be sacrificed, they could only sacrifice Wang Yu.

"Since we've agreed on the terms, could you perhaps remove the poison from me first"

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi. After taking her blood yesterday, his body felt much better. He was genuinely interested in Feng Ling Xi's blood now, but he didn't want to harm her. He just needed to speed up his progress here. The plan had been accelerated, and he needed to do the same on his side. Yao Wan Ying couldn't die yet.

"After the meal they gave me an antidote, I've been hungry ever since."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked the steward to prepare a meal, but Dugucheng had no appetite. He still needed to find time to tell Xi'er about Ye Xi's return last night. Although Luo Li was not his enemy now, he couldn't tell him about this matter yet.

"We're all hungry, let's eat together."

As soon as the words left her lips, Feng Lingxi immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Since you ate my food, you have to remember your promise and not go against me. Otherwise, if I wanted to undo your poison, I could just as easily kill you with it."

Luo Li smiled without speaking, glanced at the courtyard, "Where are those three little ghosts Have they all gone out to play"

"I guess she went out to play with Suyue. She's been practicing martial arts lately since she's been free."

Feng Lingxi casually lied, Luo Li nodded absentmindedly without questioning. Su Yue had already returned and told him, he knew they were gone, he just wanted to see if Feng Lingxi would tell the truth. It seemed they still didn't fully trust him, but that was understandable, in his shoes, he wouldn't tell either.

"Now is a busy time, children's safety needs to be paid more attention, especially for Wan'er, don't let her encounter the Yao people and be taken away."

"I know that, don't let them run around."

Feng Lingxi continued to ramble, Luoli responded with a sound. She held up some water and drank, "When I have news from your mother, I will let you know. However, I will be coming back later tomorrow, so don't come looking for us. Xinshui hasn't gone back, the Yao Clan will definitely ask me about this clearly in the next two days, so don't act rashly."

"Understood."

Luo Li left with a few lingering words of concern. Thinking about how he had sent people to the courtyard last night to look for Xinshui's body, only to find it gone, Li Wu Yan said Feng Ling Xi had taken care of it. However, when he sent people to the nearby area to check, there was no news. He worried that someone else might have gotten to her first.

After dinner, Feng Lingxi gave Luoli antidote, and they went back. Ye Xi returned in the evening.

"My Lord, everything is done."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way"

"No, following the prince's orders, there were no troubles along the way. The three young masters were safely delivered to their destination before I returned and handed them over to Ye Su for full protection."

"It's too early to say about Luoli leaving, especially for Wan'er. She must be protected."

Luoli's words made him uneasy. He hoped the Yao clan wouldn't take Wan'er away so soon; their progress here still needed to be accelerated. Now that they had the advantage of time, place, and people, they could turn the tide at any moment.

"Your Highness, rest assured. Tianxiang Lou's current mission is to protect these three. The vice-manager said that even if she lost her head, she wouldn't let the young masters get hurt in the slightest."

Dugu Cheng nodded, took out a letter and handed it to him, "Deliver this letter to the Chancellor's hands, avoiding prying eyes."

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi walked to Dugu Cheng's side and sat down, "When do you plan to enter the palace"

"We await the Grand Preceptor's reply. Right now, the military talisman is in my hands. As long as the Grand Preceptor can publicly read the imperial decree in the court, I will join forces with him to quell the rebellion and enter the palace at any time."

Dugu Cheng grasped Feng Lingxi's hand, his expression serious. "Lingxi, this time you can't participate. You are now the princess of Xigu Kingdom. If you go with me, I'm afraid it will cause another misunderstanding."

"I'm not just bored and looking for something to do, I wouldn't go if it weren't important. But be careful yourself this time. The main purpose of rescuing the Emperor is to get your military power back. As for other things, don't push too hard."

Dugu Cheng responded, looking into Feng Ling Xi's worried eyes, "The children are all safe, rest assured."

"I just heard."

"Feng Lingxi smiled. "As long as they are safe, we can rest assured and do our own thing."

"Big brother, you seem very busy these two days. Do you have time to care about him And Tao Su, he came here with you, haven't you forgotten about him"

"So, are you sending me to find Tao Su" This man wasn't even jealous He didn't fear falling for her over time

Du Gucheng laughed, "Tao Su is quite good to you. He knows his limits. This king knows you have no feelings for him, so why would I be jealous Besides, you know so many men, if I were to be jealous of every one, I would have died from vinegar long ago."

"I'll go talk to him in a bit and see if he wants to head back to Xigu Kingdom first. We can’t leave for now, so it’s best if he goes back."

Tao Su had already helped her to this point, now it was up to her and Dugu Cheng to handle things. There was no need to drag Tao Su down. She didn't know how dangerous the Yao Clan would be afterwards, and she didn't want to implicate him.

"That's fine."

Make arrangements for Tao Su's departure so as not to delay him.

Feng Lingxi hadn't expected that during this time Tao Su and Lu Nian had become so close, even calling each other brothers. They were now working together to help Lu Nian. Feng Lingxi waited for a long time, watching as Tao Su and Lu Nian returned together, feeling a little surprised.

"Here you go, I bought this for you."

Lu Nian handed the food box to Feng Lingxi, "A new dish from Yipinxiang, try it."

Feng Ling Xi opened the food box and looked at Tao Su, "Tao Su, I have something to tell you."

"Little Wind, are you going back to Xi Gu Kingdom"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I can't leave for now. You know my situation. I have to deal with Wan'er's matter before I can go back."

"Have you and the Prince of Stars made up already"

These days, Chen Wang and Xiao Feng live under the same roof. He knows this, but for some reason, he feels uneasy in his heart. Lu Nian said that he has fallen for Xiao Feng and advised him to give up, not to be trapped too deeply. Of course, he understands, after all, their identities are vastly different, and besides, Xiao Feng is already married.

He may not care about her three children, but he knows that Xiaofeng's heart already has no room for a second man besides Dugu City.

Most importantly, Lu Nian told him about what Dugu City had done for Xiaofeng over the years. Although his methods were flawed and hurt Xiaofeng, Dugu City also proved in his own way how much he loved Xiaofeng. This was something that would never change.Xi was deceiving him."My lord, I heard that the Fourth Princess is ill with a fever. How is she doing"The Third Princess walked in, worry etched on her beautiful face. She looked at Feng Lingxi lying...
