over and see you myself so you wouldn't have to run back and forth.”Feng Ling quickly helped her mother sit down and told Xiao Li to pour some water."Mother, why are you here Didn't Grandma come with..."Lord, while they may be in the wrong, do not forget that your mother is still in the hands of the Grand Elder."

Xiao Li reminded them again, her eyes warning the two disrespectful maids. She had ruined their plans, and they were afraid of being discovered, so they could only bite their lips and say nothing.

"Kill them both, I'll pretend nothing just happened."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, her eyes slightly raised, "The Saint Protector is a smart person, don't make me repeat myself."

Xiao Li looked at the two maidservants. Their faces were pale with panic, and they hurriedly begged for mercy, "Holy Protector, don't listen to her, my subordinates are all..."

"Take your own life."

Little Li spoke, and the two of them plopped to their knees on the ground, their faces as pale as paper. "Saint Protector, please spare us! We know we were wrong. We'll immediately apologize to the Saint Lord and beg him to show mercy and spare our two sisters. We were wrong!"

Windling pretended not to see her, and now it was too late to apologize.

"Saint Guardian, you don't need me to take action, do you If I were to intervene, it would be too gruesome for them."

Xiao Li looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, her short sword at her waist unsheathed. With two swooshing sounds, the two fell to the ground, blood flowing from their chests. The two died with wide, unseeing eyes.

"Sheng Hufa's martial arts have improved significantly. He is ruthless when killing, truly a step up from before."

Feng Lingxi praised, ignoring the angry glances from those around her. She liked their disapproval, yet inability to do anything about it.

Who allowed her to remain alive now, her only use was her life She's still useful to the Great Elder.

"My Lord, this Palace's task is complete. Does My Lord also agree to return to the Yao Clan with this Palace"

“I’m definitely going back, besides, I can’t escape, can I But don’t we still have some things to do here There’s Bai Liuli from the Lu family, the Grand Elder wants her but can’t get her. And me On the contrary, I don’t want her, but as long as I open my mouth, the Lu family will definitely give her to me.”

Feng Lingxi was very clear about her current value to the Yao clan. She just wanted to delay time, find a suitable opportunity, and destroy what her mother had left her.

"I will be back in three days."

Xiao Li glanced at Feng Ling Xi, instructed someone to carry the body away, and left Lu's mansion.

Feng Ling Xi took a sip of water from the side and asked, "Ying Ba, do you think Xiao Li really forgot or is she pretending"

"My subordinate dares not speak rashly, I truly cannot see."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "That's right, she's like this now, it's really hard to tell if she's truly amnesia or faking it. But whether it's true or false, as long as she knows my usefulness now, I can achieve my goal."

"Your Highness, be careful not to be too sentimental."

Feng Lingxi nodded. She truly held onto fantasies about Xiao Li, hoping she was acting, pretending not to recognize her. But the look in her eyes just now didn't seem like something that could be faked.

"If I hadn't agreed to let Xiaoli follow Luoli back then, she might not have become like this." Feng Lingxi's eyes dimmed, as if she had harmed Xiaoli.

"Your Majesty, this is all her destiny. It's not the Queen's fault."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "After things are over, I hope she can live a good life." Looking at her now, it seems like she's doing well. It's just that I don't know if Xiao Li will go back to being the old Xiao Li after everything is settled.

"Your Highness." Just as Xiao Li had left, Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi returned. Ye Xi rushed in, scanning the room but didn't see the person he wanted to find, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Ye Xi, Xiao Li has already left."

Ye Xi forced out a smile, "She... is she alright"

"That's good, she's now the Saint Protector of the Yao Clan, second only to the Great Elder of the Ghost Saint Kingdom Yao Clan. She's surrounded by maidservants."

Ye Xi nodded, the sadness in her eyes was heartbreaking. Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City and patted Ye Xi's shoulder, comforting her, "These years you waited for her to appear, isn't she back now Don't worry."

"Sit down and tell me, I'll tell you everything I know."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, watching Ye Xi's expression change, and slowly said, "She's doing pretty well like this now, at least she knows no one can bully her."

But she isn't the little Li she used to be anymore. She can bully others now.

Ye Xi's voice was filled with melancholy. Though he wasn't unhappy about being able to bully others, his heart ached. Xiaoli must have gone through many things that ordinary people couldn't fathom. Otherwise, someone wouldn't change so drastically.

"What did you tell her"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City. Seeing him nod, she didn't know how to comfort Ye Xi. Ye Xi was truly devoted to Xiaoli, but she didn't know if Xiaoli still had a place for Ye Xi in her heart.

"Your Highness, did she give you any trouble this time"

“No, she was just ordered to bring me back to the Yao Clan.” Feng Lingxi watched Ye Xi relax and continued, “Ye Xi, Xiaoli now doesn’t know if she’s pretending or really forgot us. However, don’t look for her, her current situation is not like before. When things are over, we’ll find her and ask for clarification.”

"Understood, thank you for informing me, Your Highness," Ye Xi bowed in thanks, but his face couldn't relax. He had hoped to see Xiao Li, but it seemed he didn't even have that privilege.

"Ye Xi, Xiao Li will come again in a few days. If you really want to see her, come back in three days."

"Three days later, will Little Li really come"

When mentioning Xiaoli, Yexi's eyes lit up. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, she became excited like something had happened to her.

"Thank you, Your Highness. My subordinate will be here in three days." Looking at Ye Xi's excited expression, Feng Lingxi regretted it again. If Xiao Li didn't recognize Ye Xi, would Ye Xi be hurt Had she hurt Ye Xi this way

"You need to be mentally prepared, Xiaoli may not recognize you. Her identity is different now."

Feng Lingxi reminded, looking at Ye Xi's stiff expression, and immediately nodded.

"My subordinate understands. My subordinate only wants to see her. As for the rest, let nature take its course."

Wind whispers, her voice echoes. Perhaps, things aren't as bad as she imagined.

"Xi'er, this afternoon the Emperor has finished his work. Would you like to go for a stroll I can accompany you."

"Where to"

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, "Why don't we go for a walk It's been ages since I've been out." She could check the situation outside later. Xiao Li had come this time, so there must be quite a few Yao Clan informants in the city. She might as well take advantage of the opportunity to have a look.

"Otherwise, let's go for a walk outside. I want to go out and see."

"It's getting late to leave the city now, or else this King would accompany you to Tianxiang Tower for a meal."

Mentioning Tianxiang Lou, Feng Lingxi immediately thought of the three children and hurriedly asked, "Have you heard any news about them"

"Let's go eat. This king has always had word from them." Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Xi and winked at Feng Lingxi, who nodded hurriedly. "Then let's go to Tianxiang Building. Everyone goes there to eat, and we might even hear some news."

>ack to the palace"Dugu Yan shouted harshly, Feng Yu Xi plopped to the ground, his face paling dramatically, "Your Majesty, weren't you witness to Long Gui Fei and the Fourth Prince embracing each othe...
