Prince Chen truly doesn't have the glory he once had. I heard it myself, Prince Chen really doesn't have any connections anymore. The officials in this court are either loyal to the Emperor or to Pri..."Keep it clean and everyone take turns keeping watch. Be sure to guard the medicinal herbs carefully."

Feng Lingxi reminded him once more before returning with Dugu City.

The steward came at the sound, seeing that everyone had dispersed, and with a concerned face, "Your Highness, what happened The servant heard a noise just now, so I came to take a look."

"There's been a break-in at the estate, Butler. From now on, we need to be extra vigilant. This is the Yao Clan's main residence; having thieves here isn't a trivial matter."

The steward's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "This servant will immediately dispatch more men to protect the safety of the Princess. Did anything go missing just now"

"No, these thieves, they're all dead."

The butler visibly let out a breath, his every move falling upon Feng Lingxi.

That's good, nothing should happen.

"Butler, tomorrow this King and Xi'er will depart. Afterwards, we will return directly to live in Chenwangfu. From now on, if you have anything, Butler, please go to Chenwangfu."

Dugu City spoke, this butler and Luo Li's relationship must be deep, tonight these assassins, he is probably aware of it, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.

"This lowly one will remember, and trouble the King with taking good care of the Princess. If there is anything this lowly one can be of use for, please do not hesitate to speak."

"Xier is this king's queen, taking care of her is this king's duty."

Dugu Cheng disliked this hypocrisy. His woman didn't need him to remind her.

The steward kept saying yes, watching the guards handling the body, he didn't know when so many guards had appeared, and they weren't even from the Yao clan.

It's late, you should go back and rest early.

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth and, together with Dugu City, left.

Seeing them walk away, the butler hurried out of the house under the cover of night.

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi hadn't gone far. After the steward left the house, Ye Su followed him out. Ye Xi reported back, learning that the steward had gone to the same restaurant in the county where Luo Li met with someone. They could be almost certain that Luo Li lived there.

The next day, Feng Lingxi got up early and saw Sun Cheng packing the boxes. Although the medicinal herbs inside were not particularly precious, they were the most important ones for this trip.

After resting for a night, Feng Aotian's complexion improved greatly.

Last night, Feng Lingxi asked Xiaoli to bring him a bowl of medicine. He was quite touched at the time, but Xiaoli said that it was because Feng Lingxi was afraid that he would get sick and infect the people around her, so she gave him the medicine.

Feng Aotian, though feeling a twinge of bitterness upon hearing this, was still treated by Feng Lingxi. Reflecting on his past attitude towards her, he felt quite guilty. After a long night of contemplation, Feng Aotian came to some realizations.

Coming out, I saw Feng Lingxi examining medicinal herbs in front of the carriage. I stepped forward and greeted her.

"Your Highness, is this thing important"

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "The people of Tumu Town rely on these herbs to survive. They can't be lost."

Feng Aotian understood.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of these herbs and make sure nothing happens to them."

Feng Lingxi responded, but Feng Aotiān's attitude today was quite unexpected to her.

However, what she worried most about right now was whether they would encounter an ambush on the way to Tulumu Town. The butler must have informed Luoli yesterday when he went out.

She didn't know if Luoli would intervene, these life-saving herbs couldn't be ruined.

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

Sun Cheng stepped forward to report, seeing Feng Aotien was also there, he bowed his hand to him in greeting, and then listened to the princess's orders. He directly belonged to the princess, no one could control him, let alone order him anything.

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotiān, "Dugu Cheng is bringing troops to follow later, General Zhen Guo brought this batch of medicine and guards ahead of time. This is for you."

From her embrace, she took a bag and handed it to Feng Aotiān. Seeing his puzzled expression, Feng Língxī instructed, “During your rest, sprinkle these on top of the medicinal herbs. The effect will last for six hours.”

Feng Lingxi's words left Feng Aotien stunned. "This is..."

"Poison."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotien with surprised eyes, "Afraid of being robbed of medicinal herbs."

Feng Aotian nodded and put the bag away.

Get ready first.

When Feng Aotien left, Feng Lingxi beckoned to Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng leaned in, and Feng Lingxi whispered instructions into his ear before he left.

"Your Highness, everything is ready. The King has asked you to depart first."

Xiao Li ran forward to report. Feng Ling Xi glanced at the luxurious carriage and raised an eyebrow, "Take the carriage away and proceed on horseback."

"Your Highness, this..."

"We all change into civilian clothes, quickly."

The journey to Tulumu Town wouldn't take long, and it would be much more convenient for them to travel with the soldiers.

"Mother."

Wan'er shouted loudly and ran out of the mansion. Tian Xiaomi and Feng Yixuan chased after her.

Seeing Wan'er come out, Feng Lingxi stepped forward and held Wan'er in her arms. Looking at the reluctance in Wan'er's eyes, she softly said, "Wan'er, mother can't take you with me this time. It's dangerous over there, and Wan'er is too young. When mother finishes her work and comes back, I will celebrate Wan'er's birthday."

Wan'er's birthday is less than a month away. This time, when I go and come back, it might be during that time, but there's no other way.

Things have their own priorities, and Wan'er understands that.

"Mother, Wan'er is waiting for you to return."

Waner was so well-behaved and obedient that it made people feel sorry for her. Feng Lingxi patted her head, "Waner is such a good girl. When mother returns, I'll teach Waner medical arts. As I said, I will do it."

Waner nodded, Feng Lingxi looked at the field Xiaomi and Feng Yi Xuan behind her, "Waner, I entrust you to them. Someone will take you to the palace later. During this time, be sure to take good care of Waner's safety."

Feng Lingxi instructed, that now she only trusted them, Yu Mo also had to accompany them this time. As for Wan'er, if someone could protect her side, she would feel at ease.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Wan'er."

Feng Yixuan assured, "I won't let anything happen to her."

Sister Xi'er's daughter is his daughter, he will protect her.

Feng Lingxi responded and looked at Tian Xiaomi, "You've worked hard."

Hurry up, don't waste time.

Feng Lingxi, seeing the well-prepared group of people, mounted her horse, ready to set off. Suddenly, a figure landed gracefully before her, halting in front of her.

"My Queen, where are you going"

Shangguan Huan looked at the scene, what was being escorted

"Go to Tumu Town, Shangguan Huan, you're back just in time. I have something I need to ask of you. Could you please stay here and take care of Wan'er for a while Don't let anything happen to her."

They, as a couple, left. Wan'er was the one they couldn't let go of the most.

If it weren't for the fear of the plague in Tǔmù Town, she would have taken Wǎn'er with her.

Shangguan Huan glanced at Wan'er, then turned to Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, I think it's still more appropriate to bring her along. On this trip, I can accompany Your Highness."

Wan'er looked at Feng Lingxi pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.

"Your Highness, why don't you let me take Wan'er I promise, nothing will happen to her. Though my martial arts aren't strong, my light footwork for escaping is definitely first-rate."

Seeing Wan'er's pitiful appearance, Gu Li couldn't bear to leave her behind.lly isn't, then that's fine too." That was his current state of mind. He tried hard to reclaim everything that belonged to him, but in the end, he realized he wasn't that person at all. Suddenly, he...
