ing against your own conscience"Well, speak up then."Ye Xi shivered with cold and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is joking. How could you be a lustful person That night, it was not your initiative at...Along the way, Feng Lingxi did not try to escape. Xiaoli and the Yao clan guards kept a close watch on her, never letting up. Feng Lingxi discovered that every inn they stopped at was booked entirely, and each inn was located in a remote area. These Yao clan maids were all skilled in martial arts and had serious expressions. They should have all been specially trained.

Feng Lingxi had wanted several times to find an opportunity to hide the tattered scroll. But these people didn't rest on the way, and the carriage kept rushing, bumping along the road. Feng Lingxi was almost knocked unconscious by the bumps.

"Can you please slow down, I can't take it."

Feng Lingxi vomited, this carriage was traveling too fast, she really couldn't stand it.

Xiaoli handed her a bottle of water. "When you get outside the Daming dynasty's borders, there will be rest stops along the way."

"Are you afraid I'll run away again"

Feng Lingxi clutched her abdomen, weakly saying, "If I really wanted to escape, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now"

Xiaoli looked at Feng Lingxi's pale face, weakly clutching her abdomen. She had vomited several times along the way. "Are you pregnant"

"No."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, "It's really bumpy and unbearable." She hadn't even been intimate with Dugu City, where did she get pregnant Besides, these few days of travel were almost as if they didn't value their lives. When had her body ever experienced such abuse It's no wonder she felt nauseous.

Xiaoli didn't believe it, she reached out to take her pulse to confirm that she wasn't pregnant. Only then did she lift the curtain.

Let's find a place to rest for a bit.

"Holy Protector, we cannot make haste. We will not reach our next shelter before nightfall."

The maid did not slow down, her speed remained incredibly fast. Those riding horses showed no sign of stopping either. The carriage moved at the same speed as the riders, and the bumpy road made everyone feel nauseous.

"Rest for a incense stick and then we'll continue."

Xiao Li commanded, and the maidservant responded promptly. The carriage sped up.

Feng Lingxi only then realized what it meant to make every moment count. This maidservant was determined to save even the incense stick's worth of rest time from the journey. This bumpy ride, let alone running away, would be a death sentence just sitting through it.

Xiao Li closed her eyes to meditate, ignoring Feng Ling's discomfort.

"What a tragedy."

Feng Lingxi covered her chest, she wished she had taken motion sickness medicine, now she could only bear it.

In the past half month's journey, they managed to finish in ten days, leaving the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Feng Lingxi finally had time to rest, but she had already lost a lot of weight and her whole body was battered and bruised.

Every day, all she thought about was getting to the inn to sleep and rest. This carriage felt like a nightmare; just looking at it made her afraid.

"Finish this."

Xiao Li entered holding a bowl of soup. The soup was jet black, not smelling like medicine but with a thick, cloying aroma. Feng Ling Xi just smelled it and wanted to vomit, let alone drink it.

"What is this"

"Things that make you comfortable."

Xiaoli put the soup on the table, "I don't have much time for you."

I can't drink any more.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, "Look at me now, I can't escape, can't you just torture me a little less Xiao Li, I just want to rest for a while so that I can endure the bumpy carriage ride tomorrow."

Xiaoli glanced at Feng Lingxi, “Remember what you said, don’t even think about running away, or else, you'll be in for a bad time.”

Watching Xiao Li go out, Feng Ling Xi lay on the bed, feeling completely exhausted. In this state, how could she possibly escape Over the past few days of observation, these maids had their eyes glued to her. She was followed everywhere, even when she ate, drank, used the bathroom, there was someone watching. She didn't have a single chance to escape.

For half a month, Feng Lingxi was brought to the Yao Clan. She was directly led there with her eyes covered and pushed into her residence, where guards were stationed to watch over her.

This place, Feng Lingxi had never been before. It was an old palace, but the lighting wasn't good, it was dim and gloomy.

Wind Ling Xi wanted to go for a walk, when suddenly she heard a rustling sound in her ear. Wind Ling Xi was startled and turned around, seeing a woman with disheveled hair chained behind her. Curious, Wind Ling Xi walked over.

"Who are you"

"Xi'er."

The woman chained in iron suddenly spoke. When Feng Lingxi heard this voice, she was stunned and hurriedly parted the woman's hair, looking at the filthy face of the woman. Wasn't this her own mother

"Mother, how is it you"

Yao Wan Ying panicked, "Xi'er, how were you captured by them"

Feng Ling Xi looked around. Besides them, this vast, ancient palace was deserted. Every door was closed. Looking at the iron chains on her mother's body, Feng Ling Xi couldn't believe it.

"Mother, I was kidnapped by Xiao Li. I tried to escape, but it's no use."

"She's been captured, there's no way to escape." Yao WanYing looked at Feng LingXi's slender body, her eyes full of regret. "It's all my mother's fault, I didn't expect they would capture her, and implicated Xi'er in being caught by them."

"Mother, please don't say such things. Now that we are together again, we need to find a way to solve the problem." Feng Lingxi grasped her mother's hand and looked at the bloodstains from the whipping on her face. New wounds added to old ones, leaving her scarred and battered.

Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi discovering her injuries and soothed her, "Xi'er, mother is fine, they are just like this. Besides beating mother, they have no other way to vent."

"Mother, who hit you"

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists. Here, in this vast palace, her mother was imprisoned like a criminal, bound by such heavy iron chains and covered in wounds. These beasts! They were truly merciless.

"Who else could it be, of course those old geezers. They are too open and honest to fight fair, and they can't get what they want by force, so they have to resort to these tactics."

These words made Feng Lingxi's eyes well up, tears sliding down her cheeks. Yao Wanying reached out to wipe them away.

“Why are you crying Mother is not afraid of their beatings, Mother tells you, they dare not kill us because we are too important to them.” Yao Wan’ying sneered, the mocking smile on her lips made Feng Lingxi feel heartbroken. She didn't know what her mother had gone through, this so-called Yao Clan was nothing but a cage imprisoning her mother.

Feng Lingxi reached out with her handkerchief to wipe her mother's hands, but Yao Wan'ying pushed it away.

"Don't wipe, these are needed by your mother."

"Mother, Xi'er doesn't understand."

Yao Wan'ying glanced around, then leaned in and whispered, “I have to break my blood pact.”

"Ruin the blood"

Feng Lingxi's mind flashed back to the time her mother had let her blood drip onto Zi Xing, allowing it to recognize its master.

"Mother, does the Yao clan need our blood"

Yao WanYing nodded and lowered her voice, "Our blood is extremely important, you also have to find a way to ruin your blood. Only then can we sabotage the Yaozu's plan."

"Mother, Xi'er asks you, what do they want our blood for"

I never expected the Yao people to have such a plot. It seems that being caught here may not be a bad thing after all.ou for a walk."Feng Lingxi was being led out by him and hurriedly asked, "Where are we going"Dugu City held her hand and had already left the palace. After getting on his horse, he reached out to her....
