Chapter 284: Seizing Power 39

ped her. Seeing her standing in front of him now, he knew she had come for revenge. But what he wanted to know more was who had saved her. She had been stabbed and had no chance of surviving back then...Feng Lingxi was overjoyed and eagerly reached out to grab his hand. "Really"

Huangfu Qingyun looked at the sincere smile on her face, reaching out to touch her cheek, "Of course it's true. You can do whatever you want, as long as you tell me."

"That's great."

Feng Lingxi excitedly pulled him outside. "Then let's go to the market to buy medicinal herbs now. I want to buy a lot and a lot of medicinal herbs, and then…"

Feng Lingxi stopped in her tracks, a sullen expression on her face.

Huangfu Qingyun looked at her expression and was a little puzzled.

"Xier, what's wrong"

Feng Lingxi looked at Huangpu Qingyun, her expression filled with dejection. "I don't remember what I was going to make with the medicinal herbs I bought back."

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Xiaoli, seeing that she was also stunned. He comforted, "If you like it, buy it. Just keep it."

Feng Lingxi responded with a smile, her face returning to its previous cheerfulness.

Seeing her like this, Huangfu Qingyun felt that she was very attached to the medicinal herbs. If this had something to do with Xiao Li, he would definitely not let her off.

"Xiao Li, take good care of the young mistress, and return to the house immediately after buying the medicine."

"I obey your command."

Xiaoli looked at the coldness in Huangpu Qingyun's eyes, her back was covered in cold sweat. It seemed that she had to be more careful in the future, and she couldn't let Huangpu Qingyun catch her handle. Otherwise, she would really be finished.

"Your Highness, you should come with us to protect me and Xiao Li."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, taking Xiao Li's hand, "We'll be back soon, okay"

"This servant obeys the princess's orders."

With Huangfu Qingyun by her side, Xiaoli spoke very little. When Feng Lingxi asked her something, she would answer, but if not, she remained silent, leaving Feng Lingxi feeling frustrated and unable to enjoy the purchase of medicinal herbs.

"Little Li, why don't you speak anymore"

"Is it this palace who made you uncomfortable"

Huangfu Qingyun spoke, and Xiaoli hurriedly said, "Your Highness is joking. The slave girl has none. It's just that Your Highness and the young lady are together, and the slave girl dares not interrupt."

"It seems you think I'm in the way of you and Xi'er going shopping together"

Xiao Li was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, but she was stopped by Huangfu Qingyun, "This is outside, what are you doing"

"Your Highness, you scared the maidservant. The maidservant didn't mean to, she just didn't want to disturb Miss and Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

A figure stepped forward, Huangfu Qingyun said to Feng Lingxi, "Xier, I'll be away for a while. You and Xiao Li can wander around at will. If you get tired, just let them send you back. I'll go back when I'm done."

Feng Lingxi responded, watching Huangfu Qingyun leave. She hurriedly grabbed Xiaoli's hand, "Xiaoli, aren't you afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

"I am a slave bought by His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. It is natural for me to fear him."

He saved me, but I'm not afraid of him.

Feng Lingxi watched Xiaoli stare at Huangfu Qingyun's leaving figure, "Xiaoli, why don't you become his Crown Princess That way, you won't be afraid of him."

Xiao Li's face turned pale, she hurriedly said, "Miss, don't scare me, Your Highness likes you, please don't say such things. If these words reach His Highness' ears, I'm afraid I'll be unlucky."

"Why"

Feng Lingxi wore a look of utter bewilderment, watching Xiao Li tremble in fear as if facing imminent disaster.

Xiao Li looked at the confusion in the Queen's eyes. Why had the Queen lost her memory, and her mind become so innocent Looking at her like this, Xiao Li couldn't help but remember the Queen when she was a child and burned her brain. At that time, she also didn't understand anything about men and women.

I am so similar to when I was a child now.

"Miss, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Arahsia Dynasty, noble in status. I am a bought slave, lowly in status. Miss cannot compare me to the Crown Prince."

"Then why did he say to make me his crown princess I saved him, isn't my identity unknown"

She heard they say that she was a woman of unknown origins, wasn't she much like Xiao Li

Xiaoli looked at the princess and truly didn't know what to do. She tried to ask, "Princess, can I talk to you about this matter of identity and feelings"

"Well then, I love listening to Xiaoli tell stories the most."

Feng Lingxi excitedly held Xiao Li's arm, looking at her innocent expression. Xiao Li couldn't smile though; she didn't like the current princess at all. She was too frightening, just like when she was five years old.

Huangfu Qingyun sat by the window of the teahouse, watching Xi'er pulling Xiaoli and laughing innocently on the street. His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your Highness, this little Li was captured by human traffickers on the border of Aoshu and Galo. The traffickers said that Little Li was looking for someone at the time, and they used some means to catch her. However, they didn't know about Little Li's previous identity."

"Looking for someone"

Huangpu Qingyun narrowed his eyes, looking at Xiaoli with Xi'er. Her expression confirmed his guess even more—Xi'er was very likely the person Xiaoli was looking for.

He still remembered when Xi'er fainted, the maidservant said she called for the Princess. Could it be that Xi'er was really a princess

But her attire didn't resemble that of a newly married woman at all.

"Keep a close watch on her. Inform this palace immediately if anything happens."

Huangfu Qingyun got up and went downstairs, but instead of looking for Feng Lingxi, he went to the imperial hospital.

Xiao Li looked up at the teahouse, seeing Huang Fu Qingyun's figure. Her heart skipped a beat. It seemed he was really going to get to the bottom of her, or perhaps there was another reason for this.

"Xiao Li, shall we go buy some pastries to eat In the evening, you tell me stories while we eat and chat."

Xiao Li watched the smile on the princess's face, nodded, and followed her steps. They went together to buy pastries, melon seeds and other snacks. After more than half an hour, they returned to the Prince's Mansion.

The next morning, Dugu City and Ye Xi had just stepped out of Fengyuan with their baggage when they saw Yao Qing approaching. Seeing the baggage in their hands, she was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Master Chen, are you leaving"

Dugu Cheng nodded. Ye Xi spoke, "Elder Yao, my young master has important matters to attend to this time. Now that the Holy Master has arrived, my master and I will not disturb you any further. We shall take our leave now."

Yao Qing hurriedly accompanied a smile and said, "Since you two are here, why not stay for a few more days The Lord knows that you two are leaving"

"I told the Lord at mealtime yesterday that we wouldn't bother Him much anymore."

Yao Qing looked at Dugu City, who was silent beside her, and smiled, "Master Chen, why don't you stay a few more days When the Holy Lord returns, the Holy Maiden will also return to Yaozu. Master Chen is handsome and the savior of the Holy Lord. At that time, the husband candidate for the Holy Maiden, Master Chen is undoubtedly the best choice."

"Saintess"

Dugu Cheng's handsome brows twitched slightly as he looked at Elder Yao's smile. "How come I never heard the Holy Lord mention this Saintess matter"

"Master Chen doesn't know that our Holy Master only has one daughter, who is the Saintess of our Yao Clan and also the next Holy Master of our Yao Clan."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Xi and, seeing him shake his head, feigned ignorance and asked, "Elder Yao, this Saintess's status is so honorable, I am unworthy. It would be best if I didn't disturb her and took my leave first."e is. My heart aches terribly."Dugu Xiu heard this and quickly said, "Mother, rest assured, the Emperor will be fine. With so many imperial physicians, he will surely be able to be cured.""That group...
