Chapter 210: Palace Change 54 >

ked at Wan'er, his eyes softened with affection. This was the daughter of him and Xi'er She really resembled Xi'er, with her bright, spirited eyes. She would definitely be a stunning beauty when she g...Feng Lingxi remained silent, listening to their praises of her father. However, thinking back to the time she spent in the capital, the General Feng she had met was so different from the person they described, it was hard for her to believe they were talking about the same man.

General Zhao and General Li kept talking, watching Feng Lingxi remain silent. They thought they might have said something wrong and fell silent themselves.

Seeing this, Dugulingcheng patted their shoulders. "Two generals, Xi'er has been traveling by boat and horse for a long time, let her rest first. You accompany this king to have a good talk about what happened while I was away."

"The subordinate will obey."

"Xier, you rest in the camp first. This king will have a chat with the two generals."

Feng Lingxi responded and, taking Xiao Li and Pi Shuang with her, left.

General Zhao and General Li saw that Feng Ling had left, so they hurriedly knelt down. "Your Highness, please forgive us. We spoke inappropriately just now. Please, Your Highness, show mercy."

Dugu Cheng helped them up and explained, "Xi'er and General Feng don't have a good relationship. Since childhood, General Feng has been neglectful of her care, and Xi'er is quite displeased with him. Naturally, she is not interested in General Feng's affairs."

General Zhao and General Li finally understood why their words had fallen on deaf ears, even from the Princess. That was the reason.

Feng Lingxi returned to the tent and looked at the arsenic beside her, "How do you feel Are there any uncomfortable places on your wound" Her injury had been recovering well this period of time, and it would be fully healed in a short while.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. My body is now fine."

"Second Sister, there is no need to be like this here. Just as before, call me Fourth Sister."

Arsenic shook his head, "There are still friends of father here, it's best to be careful, I don't want to expose my identity."

Xier seems to have something on her mind these days. She often likes to daydream by herself and I don't know what she's thinking about.

"Do as you please before me, and as you wish in front of others."

Arsenic took her hand, "Since that's the case, may I ask you a question"

Feng Lingxi responded, and Bi Xiang hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth to ask, "Is your mother not dead That day I heard you talking with the king, did the Empress Dowager find out about your mother faking her death"

"The second miss asked, 'What is this for'"

Xiao Li warily stared at the arsenic, afraid she would betray the princess.

Arsenic saw how nervous Little Li was and explained, "Didn't the fourth sister want to know why the Empress was so determined to make sure I was dead Because both the Empress and the eldest sister once approached me, asking me to help them get rid of you. They wanted me to investigate your mother's affairs, but I couldn't find anything."

"You dare to investigate my mother"

Arsenic nodded, "It's about Zi Xing. If I'm not mistaken, Zi Xing is the necklace you're wearing around your neck, right"

Feng Lingxi stared at the arsenic, but she wasn't panicked. The arsenic, seeing her like this, smiled and said, "Actually, I knew Purple Star was on you a long time ago. When you gave me medicine, I noticed it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Your Highness, you can't trust her words."

Xiaoli was a bit nervous, hearing Bishuang's words, a flash of murderous intent crossed her eyes. She absolutely couldn't let the matter of Zixing get out.

"Since you know this, why not tell the Empress If you told her, you could earn merit in front of the Empress. Sixth Prince would also let you continue to be Sixth Princess Consort, even if you asked the Empress for higher demands, she would agree."

Bi Shuang laughed loudly at her words, and after a while, she said, "Fourth Sister, although I was foolish before, now that I have died once, do you think I would be stupid enough to cooperate with them"

The coldness in her eyes was chilling, "Even if I told the Empress about what Zi Xing did to you, the Empress rewarded me at the time. But who can guarantee that the Empress wouldn't have me killed afterwards I'm not that foolish, I won't be a fool for them and risk my life. You saved me, you owe me a favor, and I won't repay kindness with resentment."

Feng Lingxi looked at Bi Xiang's eyes and said faintly, "It's not in vain that I saved you."

"Don't worry, I will avenge you. And I will protect you with my life, after all, it was you who saved me."

Feng Lingxi glanced at her, "As long as you don't betray me, your life is of no need to me. My life, I can protect myself."

"From now on, whatever you need me to do, no matter what it is, I will do it for you. This is my promise to you, I will not break my word."

Feng Lingxi patted her shoulder, solemnly saying, "Live well."

Just four words, Bi Fang's body trembled slightly. Looking into Feng Ling Xi's sincere eyes, she nodded, "I will."

"Go rest for now. When you have free time, learn how to ride a horse and use a bow and crossbow. You must have the ability to protect yourself."

Arsenic responded with a sound, and retreated.

Xiao Li saw Pi Xiangshuang leave, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness, do you really believe what she said"

She is living very clearly now, which is good.

Wind Ling Xi took out the Zi Xing from her neck and looked at Xiao Li, that look made Xiao Li's expression a bit flustered.

"My Queen, why are you looking at me like that"

Feng Lingxi stared at Xiao Li's eyes, her sharp gaze making Xiao Li's heart pound. Had the Princess seen through her

"Xiao Li, you seem to have known for a long time that this necklace of mine is from the Purple Star."

Xiao Li's face turned pale, she immediately knelt down, her expression panicked, "Your Highness, I..."

Feng Lingxi crouched down and looked at Xiao Li stammering, "You were arranged by your mother to be by my side since you were young. If I'm not wrong, you know everything about what happened to your mother, right"

Xiao Li knelt before her, her body trembling.

"Little Li, I mean no harm. I just want to know how much you know about my mother."

Feng Lingxi stared fixedly at Xiao Li, watching her flustered expression. He said in a low voice, "If you want to hide something from me, then don't follow me anymore."

"Queen"

Xiaoli raised her head, looking at her in disbelief. Seeing the firmness in the princess's eyes, she bit her lip and said, "The servant did everything according to the mistress's orders, please forgive me, princess."

"Well, how much do you know about my mother"

As she had guessed, Xiaoli truly knew everything about her mother's affairs. In fact, even she herself was kept in the dark by Xiaoli.

"I was raised by the mistress from childhood. The mistress ordered me to follow the princess, but I am here to protect the princess's safety under the mistress's orders. I know about the mistress's fake death. Before she left, the mistress instructed me to take good care of the princess. She only said that if Zi Xing appears, I must use my life to protect the princess's safety and ensure nothing happens to her because of Zi Xing."

Then you must also be skilled in martial arts.

These days, she travels by carriage. If she were an ordinary maid, with all this travel and fatigue, she would have long since been exhausted. But she is unaffected at all. Her constitution is better than even that of a martial artist like myself. I'm certain she must be skilled in martial arts.

"My martial arts were taught to me by Madam. Madam instructed me to secretly protect her and forbade me from revealing myself. Now that the Princess has asked, I have truthfully answered."ill need to find out the situation in the capital. At least we need to know their situation, especially that of Dugu Su and Dugu Yu, to ensure your and the soldiers' safety."I know, I've always been d...
