, this king will also help you bring your wife and children back as soon as possible.""No need."Qian MoXuan clenched his fist, "My wife was arranged by Dugu Yan. Now that I think about it, she has alw...This assassination attempt left many soldiers wounded, but they all came for Dugu City. Thankfully, their injuries were minor, just skin deep. Feng Lingxi took Xiaoli to dress their wounds and apply medicine, while Tian Xiaomi prepared meals for them. They busied themselves until late into the night before finally getting a breather.

"My lady, leave the rest to me and go get some rest."

"It's fine, I can't sleep either. Let's get these things done and then rest."

As night fell, the wind grew fierce and cold, dropping the temperature even further.

The fire in the hearth crackled merrily. Feng Lingxi sat beside it, carefully selecting herbs, portioning them out, and then tending to the simmering concoction. She worked diligently for over an hour until just before dawn when she finally finished, exhausted from her labor.

When Dugu Cheng woke up, the wind and snow outside had stopped. However, Feng Ling Xi was not by his side. He had slept soundly last night and after a good sleep, he felt refreshed.

"Xier..."

Before Du Gucheng could finish speaking, Xiao Li stopped him, motioning for him to speak quietly.

The queen had only slept for a short time. Last night, she treated the soldiers' wounds and boiled medicine for them. She was exhausted from it all.

Dugu City glanced at the weather outside, "Let's stay for one more day and set off tomorrow."

"You should rest for a while too, this king will guard Xi'er."

The princess specifically instructed me not to allow you to use your hands, and the prince needn't send the princess back to her room.

Xiao Li seemed to see Dugu City's intention and reminded, "Don't let the princess work in vain."

"I know."

Dugu Cheng sat beside Feng Lingxi, watching her sleep soundly and not disturbing her.

"I investigated, and found all the assassins, but they were all dead."

Luo Li walked to Du Gu Cheng's side and sat down. Glancing at Feng Ling Xi who was asleep, she lowered her voice and said, "It's best not to rush the journey these few days. Wait until your injuries are better before we talk."

Dugu City's face was rather ugly. He hadn't expected the other party to be so ruthless, even killing to silence them.

"No clues."

"Forget it, I never expected to find the killer anyway."

Luo Li nodded, "Indeed, we can't find him. He's very clever, knowing you would investigate him and cleaned up everything."

"This time, they hurt so many of us. They silenced the victims to prevent us from finding out who did it. For the next while, there shouldn't be any more assassinations."

Dugu Cheng looked at Luo Li, "Thank you this time."

"Don't be so formal with me, don't forget you helped me out once too."

Luo Li patted Feng Ling Xi's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at her, "You really scared the poor thing."

"Xier has never experienced something like this, it's normal to be scared. After all, she's just a woman." How could she not be afraid, especially since his injuries from yesterday were serious. Looking at Xier, his eyes were red with worry.

She's worried about you. If anything were to happen to you, she'd be a widow.

Luo Li took a sip of the tea beside her. Feng Yi Xuan walked over with the hot pot and greeted, "Guests, this was prepared by the proprietress for you."

Dugu City saw Feng Yixuan, his eyes widened, but he didn't utter a sound.

"Don't look at me, I only found out yesterday too."

Luo Li's words caused Du Gu Cheng to restrain the impulsiveness in his heart. Looking at Feng Yi Xuan's face, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Ask your woman, what good deeds she has done."

Dugu City remained silent, gazing at Feng Yixuan's grinning face. Where was the arrogance and domineering aura he once possessed

"Xier isn't someone who likes to kill. Perhaps she wants to give him a chance to reform."

Luoli shivered, disliking killing. He didn't expect himself to say it out loud. If not for spending so long with Feng Lingxi, he might have been deceived by Du Gucheng's words. That woman, Feng Lingxi, was ruthless when she wanted to be; even he felt inferior to her.

"Whatever you say, we can't leave for now anyway."

獨孤城 nodded, "We can't leave, let's stay here for a while longer."

Anyway, he's not in a hurry.

The noisy sounds woke Feng Lingxi up. Hearing Dugu Cheng speak, she raised her head and said, "You can leave, I'm not sleepy."

"Xier, you're awake."

獨孤城 wanted to step forward and help her, Feng Lingxi hurriedly pressed him down, "Don't move around, lest the wound tear open."

She painstakingly treated his wounds and didn't want all her effort to go to waste.

"I'm much better now."

Dugu Cheng moved his arm, "It's much better than yesterday."

"I am a doctor."

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "I know your condition without even looking at it."

I still want to comfort her, but I don't even think about how scary it was yesterday when the wound opened up.

"We're not leaving, we have nothing to do with you." Luo Li opened her mouth uncomfortably, looking at Feng Ling Xi frowning, "The wounded soldiers and Dugu City both need a few days of rest. I mean, we'll rest here for a few days."

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi did not retort. Yesterday, she had seen the wounds of the soldiers. Some of them were too serious to travel.

"You're awake, come eat something."

Tian Xiaomi came over with the food, saw Feng Lingxi had woken up, and smiled as she stepped forward, “This is all I prepared for you.”

Feng Lingxi walked over and looked at the dishes on the table, "You're not eating"

"Waiting for you, how nice."

Luo Li frowned, glanced upstairs, how come Li Wu Yan still hasn't come down.

Feng Lingxi walked past, her stomach already growling from hunger.

"Xiaomi, will you accompany me to the town to buy some things later"

"Xi'er, I'll go with you."

Dugu City looked at the wound on his arm, "Wait for me here."

He's already so hurt, and he still wants more

Dugu City was blown by the wind, his eyes widened, and he instantly wilted.

"My Lord, this is a place where commoners would be safe."

"I'll go with you." Li Wu Yan went downstairs. "By the way, I'll buy some herbs."

"That's good, I have a few questions that need your help." When it came to medicinal herbs, Feng Lingxi started chatting with Li Wuyan, "Yesterday's wound medicine, I thought of a new formula. I don't know how effective it is. I made some and wanted you to take a look."

"Well, I'm bored anyway."

The two chatted back and forth, Dugongcheng and Luo Li both frowned, watching them like this, if they didn't know that Li Wuyan had no feelings for Feng Lingxi, they would really suspect that Li Wuyan was interested in Feng Lingxi.

"I'll take you there later, and I'll stop by to buy some groceries on the way back."

When there were more people, they all wanted to eat and didn't pay. Tian Xiaomi felt like she was losing money every month.

Su Wangfu

Dugu Su listened to the report, his handsome face as dark as water. Looking at the crowd kneeling on the ground, he angrily shouted, "Trash, you couldn't even kill Dugu City"

"Your Majesty, you can't blame them for this. This incident just proves one thing: Dugu City is a tearful child. However, if this gets to the Emperor's ears, he might hold you accountable. I believe you should go to the palace now."

Dugu Su glared at Huan Yue, "Make your people pay attention, don't keep dragging me down."

Their work is inefficient and I don't understand why we chose to collaborate with them.osting is when it comes into effect."Fifteen answered and took the family rules.Inside the Saintess Hall, Luo Li and Feng Ling Xi sat there. Neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere suddenly fe...
