Chapter 1363: War Drums Sound

onsidered back. The bridal chamber was filled with flowers and candles, and he could finally achieve it.Looking at Feng Lingxi taking out the medicinal herbs from the box and quickly preparing an anti...She was poisoned, and according to her, it was Luo Li who did it.

"Falling Away"

Dugu City was surprised, "How could it be Luo Li who did it There is no grievance between Tian Xiaomi and Luo Li, why would Luo Li poison her And if she really wanted to kill Tian Xiaomi, why use poison This wouldn't deepen the conflict between us, would it"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, her mind was also in a mess right now. Just like what Dugu Cheng said, Luo Li and Tian Xiao Mi had no grievances. If they really wanted to kill Tian Xiao Mi, they would have just killed her directly and there was no need to let her hang on like this half-dead.

"This... I truly don't understand what he's trying to do. The things he taught Wan'er, just looking at them makes me angry. My daughter was completely misled by him, and even now when I think about it, I get furious."

"I will teach her myself, she is still young and has a strong capacity for learning. We need to patiently guide her so that she doesn't really follow the wrong path in the future."

"This king is worried that Luo Li might have ulterior motives."

Dugu Cheng sighed, his expression grave. "Xi'er, you've worked hard with all that's happened this time."

"I'm not tired, it's just that I feel sorry for Wan'er. From the moment she was born until now, I haven't spent much time with her. Even anyone else in the house has spent more time with her than I have."

Speaking of Wan'er, Feng Lingxi felt full of guilt. Especially this time when she came back, seeing Wan'er's changes, Feng Lingxi realized that her daughter had grown up. Not only was she sharp-tongued, but she also knew more and more things. She remembered everything Luo Li said to her.

If she had stayed in Tumu Town for a longer time, she dared not imagine whether Wan'er would have listened to Luo Li and ignored them completely.

"Let's go see Wan'er."

Dugu Cheng spoke up, saying that over the past two days, Xi'er hadn't had time to accompany Wan'er, and the girl hadn't sought out Xi'er either. The estranged mother-daughter relationship worried him. What worried Dugu Cheng the most was that Wan'er kept mentioning Luoli. Over these two days, Luoli hadn't come to see her and kept talking about him.

As they approached Xiao Li's courtyard, they could hear Wan'er's silver-bell laughter from afar, accompanied by a hearty male voice. Feng Lingxi wanted to go over, but Dugu Cheng grabbed her arm and motioned for her not to be impulsive.

It's Luo Li who came to find Wan'er. Feng Ling Xi could tell from the voice who the owner was. Thinking that it had been two days since they returned, Luo Li only appeared now. Feng Ling Xi watched from afar as Luo Li chased after Wan'er, looking at his bright smile like a young boy, then at Wan'er's small figure running, her heart felt very uncomfortable.

Originally, when Wan'er and Luo Li were together, they were so happy. Looking at the smile on her face, Feng Lingxi's eyes drooped down.

"I really don't deserve to be Wan'er's mother. Watching Wan'er being so happy with them every time, while I always have a cold and indifferent expression when I'm with her, I'm afraid Wan'er finds me repulsive."

"Xi'er, don't say that about yourself. It's just that we spend less time with her. As long as you want, Wan'er will be happy to be with you."

Dugu Cheng dragged her towards the courtyard. Watching Luo Li and Wan'er chasing each other, Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi's appearance, Luo Li had long since noticed it. Seeing them coming over, she stopped, Wan'er didn't notice and bumped into him, hugging Luo Li's big leg.

"Master, why don't you run"

Wan'er tilted her head back, sweat soaking the messy strands of hair on her forehead, but her eyes still couldn't hide their excitement.

"Your parents are here."

Luoli looked at Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi walking towards her, a smile curled on the corner of her lips as she walked towards them.

"I heard you were back two days ago, so I came to see for myself today."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the courtyard wall. "Is this how the clan leader enters the courtyard every time"

"Leaving a smirk at the corner of his lips, he gave an evil smile. "I'm so sorry, I'm used to climbing walls, and besides, it saved me from a lot of tedious paperwork."

"In that case, I apologize if my manor has caused you any trouble."

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I've gotten used to climbing over the walls. It takes time to break a habit. If Prince Chen and Princess Chen find it inappropriate, then I'll go out now and come in through the main gate." With that, she made a move to leave, but was stopped by Dugu City.

“This king hasn't thanked Chief Luo for spending over a month teaching Wan'er. Whether he scales the wall or enters through the main gate, Chief Luo should come as he pleases.” No one can stop him from entering whichever way he chooses.

Luoli's eyes fell on Feng Lingxi. Seeing her silence, Luoli changed the subject, "Your Highness, did you allow me to scale the wall and enter But it seems the Crown Princess…"

"I want to talk to you privately."

Feng Lingxi, suppressing the displeasure in her heart, opened her mouth. She wanted to get to the bottom of what happened to Tian Xiaomimi; she couldn't bear to keep it bottled up like this, feeling so uncomfortable.

"Mother, please don't scold Master. It was all my fault."

Wan'er tugged at Feng Lingxi's sleeve and looked up at her with pleading eyes. Her pitiful expression softened Feng Lingxi's face. She crouched down and wiped the sweat from Wan'er's forehead.

"Wan'er, mother and the chieftain have something to say. We don't mean any harm to him."

"But you just happened to speak so loudly, Wan'er looked quite frightened."

Waner's tone was laced with a hint of grievance. Seeing her like this, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She really hadn't been harsh to Luoli, she had just sounded a bit colder in her words.

"I'm sorry, Mother will pay attention to her tone in the future. Wan'er, be a good girl and play with your father first. After Mother finishes talking with the clan leader, she will take you to Mother's pharmacy, okay"

Wan'er's eyes lit up, her small eyes full of excitement, "Mother, are you going to teach Wan'er medicine"

Seeing Wǎn'er's excited eyes, Fēng Língxī nodded and smiled, saying, "Mother promised Wǎn'er, but she has been busy all the time. Now that she is back home, mother will teach Wǎn'er medical skills when she has time."

"Thank you, Mother. Wan'er loves you the most."

Feng Ling Xi patted her head and looked at Luo Li beside her, "Chieftain, may I speak with you for a moment"

"Wǎn'er, Shifu will come to find you later."

Having finished speaking, Luo Li left with Feng Ling Xi and went to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard. After offering tea, they dismissed the servants, and Feng Ling Xi spoke first.

"Chief, I'll cut to the chase. Did you poison Tian Xiaomi"

"Tian Xiaomi"

Luo Li frowned, her brows furrowed as she asked, "Are you talking about the woman who was with Wan'er before"

"Her name is Tian Xiaomi, she's my younger sister."

Feng Lingxi stared into Luo Li's eyes, seeing him frown slightly. He took a sip of the tea on the table, looked up and met her gaze, his expression turning cold. "Yes, the poison in her body is mine. She asked for it by being too talkative."

"What did she say to you Are you going to poison her Do you know that if you poison her, she won't even know. You'll give her medicine and make her grateful to you. Isn't that too much"

Facing Feng Lingxi's question, Luoli's smile widened at the corner of her lips, but her eyes became increasingly cold. Feng Lingxi's suppressed anger surged up. her, "Yao Hua, slow down."When the fierce wind swept away Xi Bei, Huangpu Qingyun's smile gradually disappeared from his face. He instructed Li Nuo beside him, "You secretly protect the princess's sa...
