Chapter 621: Conspiracy 107

she would leave to rush back right now.Feng Lingxi responded with a sound, reaching out to touch the necklace on her neck. Now that she had left the capital, even if the Empress found out the truth,...Dugu City glanced at Xi'er who was treating General Sun, and said in a deep voice, "You should ask Xi'er about this matter. This king cannot make the decision for you."

"Wait for me, Ye Xi."

Feng Yu Mo shouted, and quickly ran to Feng Ling Xi's face, "Sister, Night Xi and I will go to Linxi County first and wait for you."

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and looked into Feng Yu Mo's determined eyes, reminding him, "Be careful along the way, don't be reckless, your life is important."

"Sister, rest assured, Yumoko will keep it in mind."

Go.

Feng Lingxi's agreement surprised Dugu Cheng. Looking at the smile on Feng Yumo's face, Dugu Cheng understood that Xi'er didn't want to imprison him to protect Yumo, but wanted him to spread his wings and soar.

"The road ahead is fraught with danger, so be careful in everything you do. Ye Xi, please protect Yu Mo well."

Ye Xi nodded. Feng Yu Mo glanced at Feng Ling Xi, "Brother-in-law, sister entrusts this to you."

Seeing Dugu Cheng nod, Feng Yu Mo and Ye Xi rode away.

Can Aman go with them

Aman suddenly appeared before Dugu City, "I'm afraid there might be danger along the way."

"Aren't you worried about Xier's safety"

Aman looked at Dugu City, “The Fourth Prince is by the Saintess' side, Aman feels relieved, moreover, he is there too.”

"Be careful."

獨孤城 spoke, and Amu hurried to catch up on horseback with his belongings.

For her, being able to return to the place where Saint Master fell off the cliff one step earlier would be the only thing that could calm her heart. As for everything else, she didn't want to worry about it, nor could she.

Feng Lingxi had treated General Sun's injuries and only then did she realize that Aman had also left with Feng Yumo. But thinking about it, it made sense. Aman was able to escape from the Yao clan's pursuit and reach the capital city, so naturally, her martial arts skills were not weak. Traveling together would make Yumo even safer.

"What do you think of General Sun"

Dugu City looked at her, "This king dares not make wild guesses, wait until he wakes up and ask clearly."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the little Li beside her, "Go rest first, and come replace me later."

Xiao Li responded and stepped back, Aman left. Now she didn't even have a replacement.

Feng Lingxi walked to the door and looked out at the falling snow. Concern clouded her eyes.

It snowed again.

Dugu Cheng took the cloak and draped it over her, "Ye Xi will handle things there, he has been with me since he was young, he's capable enough."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, and Dugu Cheng comforted her, nothing more than fearing she would overthink things.

What she was worried about wasn't this, she was worried that after this snowfall, tomorrow she might not be able to go out again.

General Sun's injuries weren't too severe, but he was so badly frostbitten that it felt like he lost half his life. She treated his wounds and he should be waking up soon.

"I just saw your younger brother and his companions ride away. What happened"

Luo Li walked in, shaking the snowflakes off her shoulders, her movements graceful.

"They had to leave ahead of us. What's the situation up front Will it be passable"

Luo Li shook her head, "This icy and snowy weather makes carriage travel very dangerous. I don't mind walking."

Feng Ling Xi frowned, it seems she still has to delay.

Luo Li saw the person on the bed and curiously asked, "Who is he How did he get hurt"

"He is one of my subjects, injured and brought back by Ye Xi. He hasn't woken up yet."

Luo Li walked past, looking at General Sun's wound, her brow furrowed. "He's tough as nails, isn't he To survive this."

"On the battlefield, which man hasn't been cut"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, "Do you have any news about anyone following you"

"Not yet."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Dugu City, "Otherwise, let them scout ahead. If there's no ambush, we can ride past"

"What about him"

Dugu City pointed at General Sun, "In his current state, can he ride a horse"

"I'll have someone check on him first. If he wakes up, he might be able to ride a horse."

Leaving, Luoli went out. Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's worried eyes, "Xier, don't worry for now, this horseback riding is really too cold, your body won't be able to take it."

"What if something happened in Linxi County..."

"There are no ifs, your safety is the top priority."

獨孤城 interrupted her, "This king will not allow you to take this risk. Whatever heaven decrees, let us wait and see."

Feng Lingxi sighed, what was heaven's will She wished Heaven would open its eyes. General Sun had merely encountered bandits on his way back to the capital. Nothing happened in Xincun County. She thought this way, could Heaven fulfill her wish

A fine drizzle mingled with snowflakes fell all night. Feng Lingxi tossed and turned throughout the night, unable to sleep soundly. She got up several times, but General Sun was still fast asleep. The weather had caused a lot of the snow outside to melt.

As dawn broke, Feng Lingxi put on her clothes and walked to the door. She looked at the ground where much of the snow had melted, feeling a surge of excitement.

Although the wind outside was biting, the ground was still relatively dry, looking as though it had stopped snowing for several hours.

Upon reaching General Sun's door, Feng Lingxi heard Xiaoli's voice coming from inside, talking to General Sun. Feng Lingxi hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Xiao Li, is General Sun awake"

General Sun, seeing Feng Lingxi, struggled to get up. Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward, "General Sun, lie down."

"The last general has met the Queen."

Xiao Li supported General Sun as he leaned against the pillow, Feng Lingxi sat beside him holding a stool.

"General Sun, how are your wounds Is there anything else that bothers you"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. My wounds are not serious, please do not worry."

After months apart, the princess still cared for him the same way.

General Sun's eyes welled up with tears, which made Feng Lingxi's heart ache. Her voice trembled as she asked, "General Sun, how did you end up on the road back to the capital Who hurt you"

"Wasn't it the Prince who ordered me to return to Beijing"

General Sun was taken aback, looking at the queen's astonished eyes, realizing something was amiss.

"Dugu City never said you were to return to the capital. From whom did you hear that Dugu City asked you to return to the capital"

“It was General Li. The capital sent a letter, saying they wanted me to return. General Li found it strange at the time, but how could I or General Li disobey the Wangye So I returned to the capital. Now that I think about it, it is indeed strange.”

"How eerie"

Feng Lingxi pressed for an answer, General Sun pondered for a moment, "General Li said in Wang Ye's letter that I should return to the capital alone and secretly. I didn't dare to neglect this order, so I traveled day and night. I thought I could reach the capital quickly, but unexpectedly, while on the mountain road, many snowballs suddenly rolled down from the mountain and hit my horse, scaring it into a fall off the cliff. I couldn't hold on either and was buried by the heavy snow."

"Snowball"

Wind Ling Xi frowned, how did they know that General Sun encountered heavy snow when he arrived at the mountain road

"It seems to be man-made."

General Sun nodded, "Now that I think about it, it must have been done by humans. There's no way snowballs could form naturally on this mountain path. But if they threw snowballs at me, why didn't they kill me"Yu Xi was taken aback by his words. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "This palace meant no harm. It's just that the Emperor has never cared about this palace's whereabouts before, so I d...
