Chapter 220: Palace Change 64

    

ing him every day. He's just an ordinary person now, no martial arts skills whatsoever. Otherwise, he would have a hard time."Feng Lingxi nodded. “I’ll rest for a day and then leave. This time back to...Feng Lingxi looked at them, their eyes widening in disbelief. She guessed no matter how she explained it, it would be a cover-up.

Alright, let her think whatever she wants. Anyway, she hasn't done anything to Dugu City. What kind of image can she possibly have of him

I have something else to do, I'll be going now.

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

After the princess left, the soldiers still couldn't help but glance at the tent, their eyes full of sympathy.

Dugu Cheng heard clearly in his tent, a smile deepening on his lips. He was proud of these soldiers who had been with him day and night; they were sensible and considerate. It seemed he still relied on these brothers.

Wind Ling arrived at Bi Shui's tent and saw her changing the dressing on her wound. She hurried forward, "You're hurt"

"A little scratch doesn't matter."

For her, this was truly a minor injury. Compared to the previous few times, this was nothing at all.

Feng Lingxi grabbed her hand, "I'll help you apply medicine. Treating the wound properly will help it heal faster."

"Arsenic looked at her, "Tonight these men in black belong to the Sixth Prince. To put it plainly, they are the Queen's people."

Feng Lingxi's movements froze slightly in her hand, staring at the arsenic, "You said that the Empress sent someone to assassinate Dugu City"

"It wasn't him they came to kill, it was you."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes darkened slightly. If it was really an assassination, then Dugu City had been implicated because of her.

"Coming for Zixing"

Arsenic nodded, "The Sixth Prince asked me to tell you his position. I had no choice but to tell him. Originally, I wanted to inform the Prince, but I didn't have time, so I could only let Ye Xi lead people to help and find a way for the soldiers outside the camp to discover them."

"Like this, aren't you afraid the Sixth Prince will suspect you"

"Remember, I'm alive for revenge, not to help him."

Her eyes, once bright and lively, now held a chilling coldness. She was no longer the spirited jade of yore. Upon arriving at the military camp, she began training alongside the soldiers, a fact witnessed by all. There was no reason for her to doubt their loyalty.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Liu Xi County with the King. You stay here and take good care of your wounds. As for the Sixth Prince, deal with him properly. Keep yourself alive so you can avenge us."

"Rest assured, my life is yours. As long as you don't let me die, I won't."

Feng Lingxi responded and took out a bag of medicinal powder, handing it to her. "Keep this for self-defense, you never know when you might need it."

"What is this"

"Instantaneous Soft Gel, Soften with Just a Sprinkle."

Feng Lingxi gave her the medicine powder and then left. Looking at the sky outside, she returned to Dugu City's camp and saw that he was still busy, so she went over.

"Arsenic told me that the man in black was sent by the Sixth Prince, and he was after me."

Dugu Cheng responded, but his face was no longer filled with mirth. His expression turned cold and austere, as if he were a different person entirely. This change in Dugu Cheng made Feng Ling Xi feel uneasy. Was he angry because she hadn't stayed

"Ye Xi has already told this King, they want the Purple Star on you."

He now understood why Xi'er had given him the Zi Xing. She was incredibly perceptive; if she were captured, she would surely have taken it from her own hands and given it to him. This way, he could protect the safety of the Zi Xing.

"Xier, you should rest first. I'll be there as soon as I finish my work."

Feng Lingxi looked at the pattern he had drawn in his hand, "Are you going to create Zi Xing"

Dugu City responded and handed her the drawing, "What do you think of what this king has drawn"

"Not bad, but are you sure you can make one just like it"

"Don't worry about this Xi'er, I have my own arrangements."

獨孤城將畫收好,看了看手臂處,“冇有出血,本王很聽話,冇有讓傷口裂開,兮兒彆生氣了。” Translated:Dugu Cheng put away the painting and looked at his arm, “There's no bleeding. Your Majesty was very obedient and didn't let the wound open. Xi'er, don't be angry.”

"Dugu City, you..."

Feng Ling Xi, upon hearing his words, suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. He had been so calm just moments ago, all because she was angry. Was he afraid of his wound reopening and angering her

Feng Ling Xi's nose felt sore, and she wanted to cry.

"Come, let's go to sleep."

Dugu City held her hand, watching her silently, with a submissive look on her face, "This king won't act recklessly."

Feng Lingxi watched him lie down. He really didn't mean to touch her, and he was very careful to protect his injured arm. This kind of expression made her feel uncomfortable.

"Dugu City, you are so obedient."

Hearing Xi'er's praise, Du Gu Cheng's handsome face appeared with a smile, "As long as Xi'er is not angry, this king can endure it."

Feng Lingxi held his face and kissed him. Duguo City stared at her with wide eyes. Feng Lingxi covered him with a seal, then let go of him, staring at his stunned expression, a blush appearing on her face. "This is your reward."

Du Gucheng's smile deepened, Feng Lingxi lay beside him, her face flushed red. It turned out that even when she took the initiative, she felt embarrassed.

"Like Xi'er's reward."

Dugu Cheng closed his eyes contentedly. It seemed that Xi'er still liked to use force.

Feng Lingxi rolled over and turned her back on him. After all this commotion, she was truly exhausted and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, Feng Ling Xi followed Dugu City to Liu Xi County. She had wanted to leave Xiao Li to take care of Pi Xiang, but she refused and decided to go to Liu Xi County with Feng Ling Xi instead.

In the late afternoon, the carriage arrived at Liu Xi County. The new county magistrate of Liu Xi County was already waiting for them, welcoming them into the city.

After entering the city, Dugu City immediately ordered the sealing of the city gates to prevent any infiltrators from mixing in.

After yesterday's incident, he dared not be careless. He had to pull out all the people hiding the queen in the military camp, only then could he guarantee Xi'er's safety.

"My Lord, this is a letter from Huāxià. I was instructed to deliver it to you."

The new county head was sent by Duke Gucheng and served under General Sun.

Dugu Cheng opened the letter and finished reading it, then frowned and asked, "Have you checked everything"

"I've checked with the King, and there are no soldiers from the Xia Dynasty in the county town now. The people have also settled down."

"So, is it true that Huaxia has really withdrawn its troops and returned Liu Xixian"

The new county magistrate hurriedly said, “My subordinate thinks that Huang Xia is serious this time.”

"Tomorrow we will go out of the city to have a look."

Feng Lingxi reminded that, no matter how good what was written in this letter sounded, it would be better for them to go and see for themselves. Capturing Liu Xi County during this sweltering summer wouldn't have been easy, let alone the fact that it was done because of the Empress's order. Even if there were no soldiers from the Wu Xia here, the Empress's people would definitely still be present.

Dugu Cheng responded, ordering everyone to reinforce the defenses. Then he began to inventory the items that Huang Xia had paid as compensation.

"My Lord, a group of horsemen appeared outside the city. Judging by their appearance, they don't seem to be from Liu Xi County's people. They are wandering around outside the city."

Ye Xi reported, glanced at the new county lord, seeing that his expression was normal, and continued, "My subordinate has already sent someone to keep an eye on them, all according to your orders, my Lord."

"Continue to watch. Report any situation immediately."

The new mistress saw this and stepped forward to ask, "Master Wang, perhaps I should have someone investigate first and see who they are."

"It's best to leave this matter to Yexi. Your Highness, upon my arrival, the County Mistress briefed me on the situation with Liu Xi."

The new county mistress's expression changed slightly, she looked at Feng Lingxi beside her, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, could you please ask the princess to step aside"rce expression causing Feng Ling Xi to raise an eyebrow slightly, clearly displeased."The Shou'an Palace isn't far from here. The Empress wouldn't want to cause a scene in front of the Dowager Empress...
