Chapter 629: Conspiracy 125

y fell silent. These four princes were clearly being unreasonable, and nobody dared to speak up. They weren't looking for a fight, so who would dare to contradict themFeng Linglong looked at them one...Luo Li was slightly frowned upon by the wind, and her expression became serious.

To be honest, this isn't entirely our fault. Your mother knows the rules of the Yao clan and understands why we exist. She failed to manage the Yao clan properly, leading to the current situation, and she bears responsibility for that. Not informing you, the Saintess, about the hierarchy within the Yao clan was also her responsibility. I had nothing to do with it.

"I'll find out about this when I see my mother."

Feng Lingxi's eyes turned cold as she looked at the two of them.

"I'm going for a walk."

Xiao Li hurriedly took the umbrella and followed the princess's footsteps. Duguo Cheng wanted to go, but Xiao Li stopped him.

"Your Highness, I shall accompany the Princess."

Du Gu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi's departing figure, his eyes darkening. For some reason, he felt that Xi Er's mood seemed very agitated. It was no doubt the disappearance of her stepmother, but it seemed there was something else going on as well, something he didn't know about.

"How is the Fourth Princess's temper again"

Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "I didn't offend her, did I"

"These few days, just follow her."

When Dugu Cheng said this, Luo Li thought of what Dugu Cheng had said yesterday about Feng Lingxi's temper a few days each month. This woman, which month didn't have a few days of bad temper, let alone someone like Feng Lingxi.

I have sent someone to secretly protect her safety.

Luo Li told him with a voice, and then Dugu Cheng inquired.

"Falling brother, your position within the Yao Clan is truly enviable. To be able to protect this entire town, this king is truly impressed and curious."

"She can too."

Luo Li smirked, looking at Dugu Cheng's puzzled expression. "However, I doubt she'd be willing. After all, it would be hard for her to obey the Yao Clan's orders."

Unfettered, Xi'er has always been so.

Dugu City poured a cup of wine for Luo Li, and the two drank again.

Feng Lingxi, accompanied by Xiao Li, strolled through the streets and bought some medicinal herbs from the town's apothecary. However, what puzzled Feng Lingxi was that during her outing, she hadn't detected any tailing. This Luo Li truly possessed extraordinary skills. He claimed to be able to protect her completely, and throughout this journey, not only had there been no assassins, but even those who followed had never appeared. Such abilities were beyond the protective capabilities of even the Imperial Forest Army.

The mystery brought by the Yao ethnic group added to her allure.

"Xiao Li, do you think this Luoli is very capable All the way here, she has protected us and we haven't encountered any problems at all."

Xiao Li giggled and thought for a moment before replying, "Your Highness, I think if Luo Li doesn't mean us any harm, we might as well go back to the Yao Clan with him. It's very difficult for us to get close to this forbidden zone on our own, and there are also a lot of messes to clean up. It's better to work together with him to tidy up the Yao Clan."

"Why do you think that"

Feng Ling Xi had carefully considered Xiao Li's words. It was indeed worth a try.

"I just feel that if the Yao Clan Princess doesn't go back to deal with this, the Yao Clan people will definitely continue to cause trouble for the Princess in the future. It's better to clean it up now and prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"You're right about that, let's see what's being said."

She sent Yè Sù to investigate the surrounding area for information about the Yao clan. She deliberately spread rumors that she was in the vicinity, wanting to find out how many Yao clan members were around. If there were truly members of the Yao clan who wanted to get rid of her, they would definitely try to assassinate her. This way, she could also see how strong Luò Lí's abilities really were.

In order to make herself known, Feng Lingxi lingered in town for a while, but to her disappointment, nothing happened.

She and XiaoLi had been walking around town for so long that no one seemed to pay them any attention. By almost noon, the two returned home.

Feng Lingxi walked over as she saw Luoli and Dugu Cheng ready for lunch, waiting for her.

"Xier, are you still happy strolling around"

"That's great, I'm a little hungry."

Feng Lingxi sat down, and Xiao Li went to the other table to eat. Watching Dugu Cheng and Luoli expertly stir-fry vegetables, Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Luoli, can we leave tomorrow"

"There's no news yet, so it should be fine. It's not snowing anymore, and the weather is pretty good today."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Luoli's calm and composed appearance. Thinking of today's incident on the street, she opened her mouth and said, "I was worried that I might be assassinated when I went shopping today."

"On such a snowy day, only you would have the mood to go shopping. Who would assassinate you Besides, I've already had people check this town, it's safe."

Du Gucheng nodded, "Brother Lu said he sent people to protect you. Now this king has seen Brother Lu's abilities."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli, "Indeed, well protected."

"What are you going out to do on the street It's freezing cold out there, be careful of your health. The Fourth Master is very worried about you."

Wind Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng, faintly saying, "Buy some daily necessities, he knows."

Luo Li coughed awkwardly, automatically filling in the conversation between Dugu City and himself. This couple really didn't know when to speak appropriately.

"Master."

A departing servant approached and whispered a few words in Luoli's ear. Her face instantly changed color as she looked at Feng Lingxi and Dugu City, "I'm afraid we have to speed up our return to the Yao Clan. The Yao Clan is currently selecting a new Saint Master. If we're late, it might be too late."

"Elect a new Pope"

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes raised slightly, "You mean, they think I'm dead"

This Saintess is still alive, and besides, Mother has already passed the position of the Holy Lord to her. What they are doing is nothing but a power grab.

"They aren't waiting for you to die, they want you dead. Looks like a whole wave of assassins is coming soon. We need to get back to the Yao clan quickly."

Luo Li's expression was grave. "Fourth Royal Wife, this time you truly have no choice. If you don't return to the Yao Clan and handle these matters, the assassins won't stop, and your desire to be the Fourth Royal Wife will also be impossible..."

"Luo Li, you said you would return to the Yao Clan with me. Can you help me with this"

This is nature, if it weren't so, I wouldn't have taken the trouble to bring you back.

Along the way, she didn't know how many threats he had eliminated for her, but he did.

"Then go back and deal with it. Although I'm not interested in the position of Holy Master, my life is very precious to me. If they want my life, things won't be so simple." Feng Lingxi's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent suddenly rose in her eyes.

He nodded, and hurriedly ordered his servants, "Immediately secure all key points along the way. We depart for the Yao Clan tomorrow."

"Fallen brother, Xi'er returns to the Yao Clan. This king wants to go with her, but I wonder..."

"Dugu Cheng, I told you, when I return to Yaozu, you return to Linxi County, and wait for me there."

Feng Lingxi interrupted Dugu Cheng's words. This was her last card, Dugu Cheng couldn't go with her to the Yao clan. No matter if Luoli truly wanted to protect her, at least she couldn't let Dugu Cheng follow her into danger. He had to stay and wait for her to return. her mouth wide, and saw that Dugu City had held her in his arms, hugging her tightly. "Don't think about it anymore, this king is exhausted and have no interest. They won't hear any noise."Wind Ling...
