Chapter 617: Conspiracy 103
side for now. I still want to handle your father's attack on Linxi County myself. Your mother and father must have a final outcome. You stay here and wait for me to return. With the strength of the Ya..."I never would have guessed you were so skilled."
Feng Lingxi squinted at Luo Li, watching the smile on his lips. "I really underestimated you."
“Thinking about it now, the Fourth Royal Wife doesn't seem to be at a loss by traveling with me, does she”
Feng Lingxi nodded, praising without hesitation, "It's a good deal. I knew you were so capable, I wouldn't have bothered to have people secretly protect us."
Luo Li glanced at Du Gu Cheng, “In that case, wouldn't you be embarrassing the Fourth Prince”
獨孤城 raised his wine cup, taking a small sip. He looked at Xi'er who was looking at him, and smiled faintly, "How could that be Lord Luo has handled these trivial matters well, this king and Xi'er are very pleased and don't feel ashamed at all."
Luo Li's smile on her face stiffened slightly, but then quickly returned to normal.
Everyone says that the Fourth Prince is so infatuated with the Fourth Princess that he's completely under her thumb, and now it seems like no matter what she says, the Fourth Prince obeys.
"What's wrong with being possessive Most importantly, it's great to have a woman who willingly lets herself be dominated. After Lu Gongzi found his beloved, he understood."
Feng Lingxi, hearing Dugu City's words, couldn't help but laugh.
It's the first time I heard someone admit to having a crush so confidently.
It's so pampered that it makes others envious.
Then we can only say that the Fourth Royal Wife is blessed.
“Prince, your words are amiss. It's my good fortune to have her. Any man, if he could marry Xi’er, it would be the blessing of his past life. They would all be unworthy, but this blessing fell upon me instead. Don't you agree”
Dugu Cheng's tone was laced with arrogance, causing Luoli to stiffen slightly before nodding.
"The Fourth King said so."
Luo Li took the wine from the table and drank it in one gulp, but the moment her eyes drooped, a hint of anger flashed in them. However, it vanished quickly and she returned to normal.
Du Gu Cheng looked at Lu Li's reaction and became even more certain of his guess.
"Looking at the weather, it's probably going to rain again tomorrow."
Luo Li watched the lightning flash outside. It was really cold today, raining and making the road difficult to walk on. The sky was even colder, so she probably needed to prepare more supplies for the journey.
"In that case, I'm afraid it will take quite a bit of time again."
It's enough if I can go there before the year.
Aman and Yumomo were at the back. When it comes down to it, it's better to have companions, just in case something happens.
"Buy some more provisions to eat on the road tomorrow. But, are you guys really not going to invite the stragglers to join us My carriage can fit two more people."
Luo Li smiled and asked Feng Ling Xi, looking into her worried eyes, the smile on her lips deepened with a hint of meaning.
"Luo Li, to be honest, you're really smart. You figured it out. Then let's just go together."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to Xiao Li beside her, "Let Yu Mo and A Man accompany us. Two carriages won't be too conspicuous."
"Bring some extra warm clothes. If we're not fast enough tomorrow, we might have to spend the night at the farmhouse."
This statement made Dugu Cheng more curious about Luo Li. He was surprised that she could plan her journey this accurately, down to where she would rest along the way. What kind of identity did this person hold within the Yao Clan
"Yeshi, you go and do it."
Dugu City ordered, watching Luoli drink another cup of wine, and said, "Mr. Luo has a really good drinking capacity."
"Among the Yao people, when they have nothing to do, they simply enjoy a few cups of wine. Their tolerance is not bad either."
Feng Lingxi glanced at him, this wasn't getting by, it was good, maybe even a thousand cups wouldn't make him drunk.
Feng Yu Mo and A Man were quickly brought over. Feng Ling Xi ordered them some food and let them eat before resting.
Luo Li and Dugu Cheng seemed quite interested in each other, drinking and chatting until late at night before returning to their rooms to rest.
Feng Lingxi smelled the alcohol on Dugu City's body, her brows furrowed slightly as she watched him lie down in his loose clothes, some concern in her eyes.
"How can you drink so much"
Dugu Cheng hummed softly, rolled over, feeling the effects of the wine, and wanted to sleep.
Feng Lingxi tucked the blanket over him, "Sleep early and don't trust Luo Li too much."
Dugu Cheng hummed in response, not daring to look at Feng Lingxi. He was afraid that the smell of alcohol on him would bother Xi'er. Feng Lingxi didn't say anything to him either. After a long journey by boat and carriage, she soon fell asleep. Halfway through the night, Dugu Cheng hugged her, rubbed his face against her, and held her in his arms before finally falling asleep peacefully.
Outside, he had drunk a bit too much. Dugu City had held back last night and hadn't touched Xi’er. He was also worried about tiring her out, after all, she had been tired from the carriage ride all day yesterday.
Feng Yu Mo and A Man got up early. The two of them didn't intend to take a carriage, but rather planned to ride horses. It wasn't raining, so neither of them felt like taking a carriage.
"Yumo, with this weather it probably will rain soon. You and Aman go to the carriage, don't ride a horse, lest you attract attention."
Two carriages, if they were riding horses, would look quite impressive and certainly eye-catching.
Feng Yu Mo glanced at Lu Li's carriage, "Sister, I'm going to be a general. If you find it inconvenient, Am and I will follow behind on our own. We won't walk with you."
Aman also nodded, she didn't like riding in carriages, especially since Luo Li was accompanying them along the way.
When Xiao Li revealed his identity, she had already shown restraint by not attacking Luo Li. Since he was a mysterious figure from the Yao clan, even when the Yao clan's people forced their Saint Master to jump off a cliff, he didn't stand up for him. She found this contemptible and refused to categorize him as part of the Yao clan.
You guys get on our carriage, and I, Dugu City, and Luo Li will take another one.
Feng Lingxi sensed A Man's hostility towards Luo Li, her tone full of helplessness, "You guys should walk with us, it'll be safer."
"Sister..."
Feng Yu Mo still wanted to say something, but Feng Ling Xi stopped her. "Don't say anything more, just listen."
The weather was nice, so I went horseback riding.
Wind Ling nodded. If the weather was good, she would also like to ride a horse as it would be faster. However, this year-end, how many good days could there be Even on sunny days, it was freezing cold. Moreover, the further north they went, the colder it became.
Luo Li and Du Gu Cheng came riding, I poured them tea. Luo Li's carriage was spacious; the three of us sat comfortably without being crowded.
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng sat on one side, Luoli sitting opposite them. There was still a bed behind her, if she got tired, she could sleep too.
"Take your time with your tea, I think I'll take a nap."
Feng Lingxi, as soon as she sat in the carriage, wanted to sleep. She never liked this bumpy feeling, but she had no choice.
"The Fourth Princess didn't seem to sleep well last night."
"I'm afraid the smell of alcohol on me has gotten to Xi'er. I shouldn't have drunk so much."
He still cuddled with Xi'er last night, Xi'er must know, she didn't sleep well, and it has to do with him.
"Just got word, there's more than one group tailing us."
Luoli glanced at Feng Lingxi, and sure enough, when she heard this, Feng Lingxi's eyes opened. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her ears perked up.
"Not just one wave, how many waves are there"
Luo Li hooked her lips, revealing a smile, "You guess"rsened day by day. In less than half a month, she was seriously ill. In the harem, only Dugu Xiu listened to Yue Fei's words. However, the Empress Dowager wanted to see Feng Lingxi, but Dugu Xiu stop...
