Chapter 672: Yao's Rebellion 42

onto you, smashing you off the edge. That's why you fell.""Xiaoli"Feng Ling looked at her mother in surprise, "You said Xiaoli knew me before""She's your mother's maid, left here to protect you. Didn...Feng Yu nodded, fumbling with the black cloth trying to put it over his eyes. Tian Xiao Mi grabbed it quickly, "Don't keep covering your eyes like that, it's easy to get eye inflammation. Wait for the medicine to arrive and then we'll apply it."

Feng Lingxi nodded and softly comforted, "Yu Mo, I'll find a way. Don't always cover your eyes, or they'll get inflamed."

"Okay, sister, don't worry, Yumo can take care of herself."

Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Tian Xiaomi nod at her and then get up to leave.

"Xiaomi, has my sister left"

Feng Yu Mo got up, Tian Xiao Mi hurried to support him, "Come on, Brother Yu Mo rest assured, the Princess can cure you, she just needs some time."

"I know."

Feng Yu Mo let out a smile, only he knew that his eyes very likely wouldn't be alright for the rest of his life.

"Chief."

Feng Lingxi called out to Luo Li, quickly catching up to his pace, "Do you know what's wrong with Yu Mo's eyes"

Luo Li shook her head, "If he truly didn't find it, it's probably related to his injury. I don't have a way to treat him for now."

"Or, how about acupuncture"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, "I just don't know if it will work."

"Don't worry too much, Fourth Princess. I'll go back and check the medical books, perhaps there is a way."

Feng Lingxi responded and said she would think it over carefully, she was sure to find the clue.

"I want to go see Yao Shu. I have something to ask him."

Luo Li saw the wind stirring and frowned, saying sincerely, "My people say that I am not in the Yao clan. Yao Zhi has started to secretly rally people in the Yao clan since he became the heir apparent. I'm worried he will make a move during the enthronement ceremony. I discussed this with Yao Chu, who knows how many people Yao Zhi has and who they are."

Feng Lingxi responded and, bringing Luo Li with her, went to the courtyard where Yao Shu was imprisoned. It was actually just a single room guarded by soldiers dispatched by Dugu City. They were closely watched. When they arrived, the soldiers hurriedly opened the door.

The king has decreed that the princess consort may enter and leave as she pleases.

Feng Lingxi nodded, hearing this, her heart warmed. Dugu City truly understood her.

"The Fourth King seems to know you're coming today."

"I've greeted him before, otherwise how would I know where Yao Shu is"

Feng Lingxi entered the room. When Yao Shu saw both Feng Lingxi and Luo Li appear at the same time, he immediately knelt down, "The subordinate greets the clan leader, and greets the Holy Maiden."

"The high priest rose to speak."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli, then sat down. Only then did Yao Chu ask, "Chieftain, Saintess, may I leave now"

He woke up to find himself imprisoned here. While his freedom was restricted, he was treated to the best food and drink. He dared not even consider escape; as long as the chieftain spared his family, what did one life matter

"Not yet, after the new year I'll return your freedom. For now, you have to endure being here."

Luoli glanced at Fenglingxi, "Are you asking or me"

"You ask first."

Her problem, no need to rush.

She also wanted to know how much Yao Shu knew about Yao Zhi. This Yao Zhi was plotting something sinister, his actions were too obvious, but he was simply too smooth in dealing with people, it was hard to find any evidence against him. If she could bring him down completely through Yao Shu, it wouldn't be a bad way to solve the problem.

When Yao Shu heard that the chief wanted to interrogate him, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Chieftain, I have said all that needs to be said. I hope you will not make things difficult for my family."

Yao Shu had lost his previous aura. Now, he was humble, only wanting to protect his own people.

Luo Li stood with her back to the door, facing Yao Chu's tense expression. Her eyes swept over Feng Lingxi standing beside him; she seemed unfazed by Yao Chu's demeanor, as if she were quite satisfied with his performance here.

However, Yao Shu was also a man of loyalty and righteousness, it is no wonder he would be anxious about his family.

"Still the same, cooperate, and your family will be fine."

Yao Chu quickly bowed and said, "I will definitely cooperate with the chieftain and am willing to atone for my crimes."

"Yao Zhi has been making moves recently, rallying the support of the elders. I want to know, how many people are on his side within the Yao clan"

After Lüo Lí inquired, Yao Chū unconsciously touched his chin and began to think seriously.

He paused for a moment before saying, "These years, with the Holy Master absent from the clan, most matters have been handled by the three of us elders. Yao Zhi is a smooth operator, often going down the mountain to handle external affairs. As for how many people he has at his disposal, that's hard to say."

"In other words, if he colluded with outside forces, you wouldn't be sure"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes and sized up Yao Chu, who hurriedly said, "Holy Maiden, this subordinate really can't be sure. The Yao Clan has never had such a thing. Since the Holy Lord left, our elders have been in charge of all matters big and small within the clan. If it weren't for the Holy Lord's whereabouts being exposed, there would be no division within the Yao Clan."

“That is to say, if my mother's identity as the Holy Master of the Yao clan had not been exposed, the Yao clan would have continued to live in peace. I want to ask, what does my mother's exposure have to do with the Yao clan Shouldn't your attention be on internal matters of the Yao clan Why are there constant problems, such as Yao Qing's betrayal and Yao Fei Fei's escape and collusion with foreign countries These have nothing to do with my mother, right”

"Yao Qing has always been calm and collected. He worked alongside Yao Zhi, but when Yao Qing rebelled, no one expected Yao Zhi to become the next Yao Qing. Furthermore, Yao Zhi's status within the clan is higher than mine, the eldest elder. He handles all external matters, so my subordinates are unsure how much contact he has with the outside world."

Yao Shu, seeing Feng Ling Xi's dubious look, raised his hand and swore, "My subordinate guarantees that every word is true."

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, "What does the Chieftain think"

He didn't really need to lie to us, my sources say almost the same thing he did.

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow. From last time, she could tell that Yao Chu was easily angered, unlike Yao Zhi who kept his cool. If she wanted to bring down Yao Zhi, she had to find irrefutable evidence of his betrayal of the Yao clan. Otherwise, it would be very difficult.

Now, within the Yao clan, Yaohu has been detained. During this time, Yaoshi will undoubtedly make a major move. He certainly won't allow her to smoothly inherit the position of Holy Master. So she'll follow his lead and see what tricks Yaoshi is trying to pull.

"Yao Shu, do you know my mother is not dead"

Feng Lingxi suddenly spoke. Yao Chu, hearing that the holy master was alive, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head. That flustered look in his eyes made Feng Lingxi's eyes even colder. "I want you to do me a favor, atonement for your sins."

"Do you want him to bring out Yao Zhi"

Luo Li frowned, seeing Feng Ling Xi nod and glanced at Yao Chu with worry.

"This is your only chance. If you succeed, I will overlook your past transgressions, and the position of Elder of the Yao Clan will still be yours."

"Is this true"

Yao Shu excitedly raised his head to look at Feng Ling Xi's cold and sharp eyes, the next second, he hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Saintess. I will definitely do my best to help you."has woken up."Xiao Li spoke first, Feng Ling Xi got up and looked at Du Gu Cheng, "I'll go take a look, Yu Mo here...""Let me do it, you go."Feng Yixuan walked in, holding a basin of warm water and wi...
