lution was risky, and she didn't dare act recklessly for fear of causing trouble."General Zhang, keep an eye on things. Most importantly, focus on Dugu Xiu's side. With the Galo nation retreating, Dug...If he hadn't met Xi'er back then and had this緣, he would have been Xi'er's best husband choice.

With eight days left before the Lunar New Year, Feng Lingxi had not yet set off. A-Man suddenly returned and informed Feng Lingxi that her mother was still alive. However, Feng Lingxi did not tell Luoli about this news, and neither did the Yao people know about this relationship.

Luo Li has already prepared everything to send her back to Linxi County. However, Feng Ling Xi hasn't mentioned going down the mountain yet, so he doesn't want to ask.

"Your Highness, are we really going to wait until the twenty-seventh to go down the mountain The wind and snow are so heavy now. If we are ambushed on the way down, it would be unsafe."

Xiaoli put the fox fur coat on the princess. Since the princess had a miscarriage, it had been almost half a month now. The princess was still very upset about it. She listened to Shiwu say that since then, there hadn't been a smile on the princess' face.

In front of her, his tone was merely calm, and his smile, one she hadn't seen in a long time.

Feng Lingxi pulled at the fox fur on her body, "Wait two more days, if they are all safe, I want to wait a little longer."

Her voice was low, and it held a certain bitterness.

Xiao Li knew, the Princess was afraid to see the King, for fear she would remember the miscarriage and cry, feel sadness, and not know how to face him and tell him about the child.

"The Princess Consort isn't going to tell the Prince about the child" Though she felt it was inappropriate, Xiaoli still asked. Ever since that day, she had always wanted to ask the Princess Consort this, and this knot in her heart needed to be untied.

Feng Lingxi's body trembled slightly, her eyes fixed ahead, already clouded with mist.

She had always wanted to tell Dugu City about the child, but she didn't know how to start. She also didn't know how to face Dugu City. Their child hadn't even arrived before they left them.

Tears in her eyes swirled once more, Feng Ling Xi slowly closed her eyes, not allowing her tears to fall.

Xiaoli still didn't know how to comfort the Princess when she saw her like this.

These days, the princess often has such emotions. She knows, the princess can't get out.

"Chief."

Xiao Li watched Luo Li walk over, glanced at the princess, then retreated.

Luo Li stood beside Feng Ling Xi, looking at her current appearance, and let out a soft sigh.

"Go back. You're still young, you have plenty of time to have children. This just wasn't the right time for this child."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes welled up, a single tear rolling down her cheek. Her voice choked with emotion, "Back then, I lied to Du Gu Cheng. Now, that lie has become reality. I wonder, if I hadn't lied, would my child..."

"This was an accident."

Luo Li interrupted her, looking at Feng Ling Xi's tears streaming down her eyes, and said coldly, "Feng Ling Xi, don't be so dramatic. Since this child is not meant to be with you, let him go. Don't keep clinging to him with your feelings. Some things are just not meant for you, no matter how much you struggle, they won't become yours. Even if you force it, there will be no happiness."

Feng Ling Xi raised her head, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Luo Li looked at her like this, with wide-open eyes, but her eyes were filled with raging anger. She tried hard to calm the emotions in her heart and said coldly, "I'll send you back tomorrow. Wait until after the year is over and your body has recovered before coming back for the enthronement ceremony."

Chieftain, will you be returning after the succession ceremony

Luo Li stood with her back to him. He should have left long ago, but because of her, he had wasted enough time.

"From where I came, to where I go, I have my own things to do." Luo Li left with a sentence, without looking back.

Perhaps, he should have left long ago. Perhaps he shouldn't have gone down the mountain, let alone met her.

"My Queen, the Chieftain is right. Holding on to something that doesn't want to stay won't bring happiness."

Xiao Li soothed, looking at the princess gazing ahead, "I'll go clean up."

"Xiaoli, pack up. We're going back tomorrow."

Slowly opening his mouth, Feng Lingxi retracted his gaze and questioned, "This place doesn't belong to me, but isn't it where I live now" The doubt in his tone made Feng Lingxi self-deprecatingly smile wryly, then looked at the gloomy sky in a daze.

"Holy Maiden, the Three Elders request an audience."

Fifteen came forward to report, Feng Lingxi originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that she would go down the mountain tomorrow, she said, "Let him come over."

This wasn't Yao Zhi's first time requesting to meet her. These days, he came almost every day, but Feng Lingxi refused to see him. Every time, Yao Zhi would say he had something important, but he never succeeded. This time, Feng Lingxi agreed to meet him, which surprised Yao Zhi. He rushed forward eagerly.

"I have seen the woman under my command."

Feng Lingxi did not turn back, listening to the voice behind her, her tone slightly heavy, "What does the Third Elder want from me"

"My subordinates are here for the coronation, and there are some matters I'd like to confirm with the Saintess."

"Leave the arrangements for the enthronement ceremony to the chief. I have nothing to say about it; just do everything according to the chief's wishes."

Yao Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, the fifteen-handed sword in his hand instantly blocked Yao Zhi's face, preventing him from getting closer to Feng Lingxi by half a step. The appearance of the Shadow Guard in the Yao tribe was no longer a secret. Since Feng Lingxi was assassinated, Shiwu had been protecting Feng Lingxi's safety at all times. No one from the Yao tribe was allowed to approach Feng Lingxi and speak to her.

"Saintess, my subordinate heard that the Holy Lord is still in this world. If the coronation ceremony is held, then the Holy Lord..."

“Since the Third Elder receives news so promptly, perhaps you could tell me where my mother is now That way I can ask her myself about what happened with her falling off the cliff.” Feng Lingxi turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness, and Yao Zhi was instantly speechless.

He came here just to find out what was going on. Now, the chieftain is protecting her in every way, they can't even see the Saintess, let alone discuss important matters of the tribe.

"Tomorrow I will go down the mountain and return to Linxi County to celebrate the New Year. All family matters, big and small, will be entrusted to the clan leader. If the three elders have any questions, they should ask the clan leader, who will be happy to answer them."

Yao Zhi almost vomited blood from anger at her words.

How dare he go to the chief and say these things The enthronement ceremony was ordered by the chief, their opposition is pointless.

He couldn't figure out why the Chieftain was so supportive of Feng Lingxi inheriting the position of Saint Master. It was obvious to him that Feng Lingxi didn't want this position. Also, Yao Chu's death had always felt strange to him, but he couldn't find any clues to uncover the truth.

"Saintess, my subordinate dares to ask, what reason led the Grand Elder to commit suicide and apologize What..."

"Grand Elder."

Feng Lingxi coldly interrupted his words, looking into Yao Zhi's eyes. Her gaze was icy, making Yao Zhi shiver involuntarily. This cold look from Feng Lingxi made him angry, yet he felt a chill down his spine.

But then he thought of her, she was barely seventeen. Where could she have seen the storms he had are all alike."They looked at each other and burst into laughter.Lord's TempleFeng Lingxi listened to Yao Yi's report, silent for a long while.According to Yao Yi, Feng Yixuan really wants to get rid...
