Chapter 733 Imprisonment 33

last night at all. When I woke up, this is how things were.""Concubine Shui, last night it was you who told me to enter your room. Xiang Ding can testify, she was the one who told me that you wanted t...The next morning, Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li changed into men's clothing and rode towards Yangshan County. They didn't encounter anything along the way. As dusk approached, they stopped in Yangshan County and stayed at an inn.

"Xiaoli, you contact the people here and see if you can find Yingba."

Feng Lingxi drank a cup of tea, her weary face was full of seriousness, "Yangshan County doesn't seem as chaotic as I imagined."

Perhaps, after she arrived here, Dugu City left again.

Feng Lingxi's heart sank slightly. She suddenly didn't know why she had come here to look for Dugu City. She could wait a few days in the capital, perhaps it was because she was tired of the intrigue with those people.

"This servant will go right away, Your Highness, please be careful at the inn."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod and took out a bottle from her bosom. She swallowed a pill, though the weather was fine today, the chill remained. Returning to the inn, she felt a headache coming on. Feng Lingxi swallowed the pill, stood up, and went out to get something to eat.

When Feng Ling returned to the room, Xiao Li had already come back. Seeing her return, Xiao Li let out a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, how did you get out"

"Make some food, let's sit down and eat together."

Feng Lingxi offered the food to Xiaoli and chased after her, running all over. Xiaoli was exhausted.

Xiao Li didn't stand on ceremony. After spending time with the princess, she knew that the princess treated her like a sister. All she could do was protect the princess's safety more diligently.

"I've sent out a signal, some of the tribe will come find me later. I'll ask around, will you be joining us"

"Just bring people here."

Xiao Li responded and, after finishing their evening meal, the two of them briefly washed up. Just then, they heard someone knocking at the door. Feng Ling Xi and Xiao Li exchanged glances, and Xiao Li walked over to open the door. She looked at the waiter standing at the entrance, her gaze falling on the clay pot of soup he was carrying.

"Sir, this was brought to you by our shopkeeper. He said that the two of you are too thin and need to eat more."

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi stood up, her body visibly stiff. This sounded familiar. She walked to the waiter's face and looked at him, "Tell your shopkeeper, thank you."

Xiao Li took it, said thank you, and carried the soup in.

"Your Highness, what's going on Do you know the shopkeeper here"

Feng Lingxi opened the soup can and looked at the chicken soup inside. It was old hen soup that had been simmered for several hours. She had also had the same chicken soup that day, and after checking it carefully, she found no poison.

"It was arranged by the owner of Tianxianglou."

Feng Lingxi poured a bowl of chicken soup for Xiao Li and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, the people from Tianxianglou have been following us all along."

"Impossible, this servant has not found anything unusual along the way."

Feng Lingxi glanced at her but did not answer.

The poster hid it deeply, saying that he was entrusted by someone and reminded her to stay in the capital. This move is very likely that Dugu City let him protect himself.

However, if it was Dugu City who needed her protection, why was Dugu City clueless when he learned that someone had helped the Fourth Prince's Mansion before And this time, when she said she came to Yangshan County, the landlord didn't react at all.

"Find a chance to inquire about this landlord, you might understand then."

When Feng Ling finished speaking, there was another knock on the door outside. The signal from Yaozu had arrived.

Three knocks and one tap, Xiaoli walked over, opened the door, and looked at the unfamiliar face standing outside. The two made eye contact, and she let the person in.

"My lord, I have seen you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, she had just seen Xiao Li use that Yao Clan secret signal for the first time. It was simple, but wouldn't someone who wasn't from the Yao Clan understand its meaning.

This clansman was probably around twenty years old, with an ordinary appearance and the attire of a scholar. When he saw Feng Lingxi bowing, his eyes were warm and gentle.

No need for formalities.

Feng Lingxi gestured for him to sit down. As soon as the scholar sat down, Xiao Li asked, "I heard a few days ago that the Fourth Prince appeared here. Do you have any news"

"Four Kings did indeed appear here five days ago, but only someone in the city saw him. After that, he left and no one paid attention to where he went."

"Is that all the news there is"

Feng Lingxi, unwilling to give up, pressed further, asking, "That scholar thought for a moment and replied, 'Your Majesty, I will return and investigate this matter. I will provide you with an answer by noon tomorrow.'"

Then, it's all yours.

Seeing him get up and leave, Feng Lingxi sent him out, closed the door, and looked slightly troubled.

"Xiao Li, where did he go Why haven't we heard from him"

"I don't know, but the Lord will surely be fine."

Xiao Li comforted, "Your Highness, the worry on your face, I just watching it makes me feel heartache."

If it were possible, she would be willing to replace Yingliu and the others in searching for the king's whereabouts.

"I hope he's alright."

Night had fallen, yet Feng Lingxi couldn't sleep. She stood by the window, gazing at the starlit sky. This was her first sleepless night since parting with Dugu Cheng. It wasn't just worry for his safety that kept her awake; it was also the events of the day before that weighed heavily on her mind.

The master's words, the change in his mother's attitude, all made Feng Lingxi feel troubled.

"Your Highness, it's late. You should rest early."

After a day of bumpy travel, how could the princess's body possibly endure.

Feng Lingxi sighed.

"Xiao Li, if Luo Ju Zhou really replaced me as your queen, do you think I would let go"

Xiao Li took the outer robe and helped the princess put it on. “Your Highness, this servant dares to ask you a question, are you willing to hand over the king to that Luo County Princess”

"Of course not, unless Dugu City is willing to marry Luo Juzhou himself."

When it comes to Duguxing, Fenglingxi's tone is more of resignation. She couldn't help but wish she could ask Duguxing for a definitive answer.

Three months to get her pregnant, how could she possibly guarantee her own body would hold up now

Besides, getting pregnant isn't something she can just decide to do.

"The Duke's feelings for the Duchess are known best to the Duchess herself. The Duke may not necessarily believe everything that Imperial Noble Consort Shu says, so why worry yourself needlessly"

Feng Lingxi turned around and took off her clothes.

"You're right, ever since Yao clan gave birth, she feels a bit off mentally. She's not as resolute and decisive as before."

"The maidservant understands the feelings in Her Royal Highness' heart, and the maidservant hopes that Her Royal Highness will be her original self."

The Queen back then was so kind, unlike now, who is filled with so much worry.

"Well, enough of that. Get some sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."

I am tired after a long day.

Xiao Li responded and watched the princess lie down before settling onto the bedside couch beside her.

As night deepened and silence fell, a figure crept through the window into the room. Xiao Li had just gotten up when she was knocked unconscious. Feng Ling Xi made her move, but as soon as she did, she heard the other person's voice.

"It was me."

"樓主"

The sound was cold, yet strangely pleasant. Feng Lingxi's brow furrowed slightly as she peered at him through the moonlight. He wore a mask, obscuring his features. She looked at him with suspicion, "What are you doing here" His appearance in her room at this hour couldn't help but raise her suspicions about his intentions.

"I need to talk to you."ng's gloomy expression, Dugu City embraced her. As soon as he touched her, she cried out in pain. Feng Ling was immediately worried and asked, "Did you touch your wound Why are you hugging me""It's n...
