Chapter 332: Seize Power (87)

rtened expression, her voice downcast. "Staying at the Prince's residence every day, it's so stifling. I don't even know why they captured me.""Then I'll go to the Prince's Mansion to play with you ev...“Mother, Xi'er learned some martial arts from her previous master. Although she can’t compare to you in skill, she can at least protect herself. Mother, let Xi'er handle this. Xi'er doesn't want to see you and Father fight.” After all, he was once someone your mother loved. Even if your mother is truly disappointed with Father, asking her to kill him… how could Mother bear it

"Xi'er, you admit you've recovered your memory."

Feng Lingxi was startled for a moment, then nodded, no longer concealing it.

"Haven't I known this for a long time You didn't ask because you just wanted to stay out of your daughter's affairs."

"You child," Yao Wan Ying said with a smile, "Mother didn't ask because she believed Xier would tell Mother. Now, isn't that the case"

Feng Linger looked apologetically at her mother, “Mother, I also wanted to tell you sooner. It’s just that… I wanted to catch Yao Feifei and the Empress Dowager’s people, so I thought about pretending to have amnesia and see if I could lure them out. I didn't expect them to be too smart. I still haven't succeeded.”

“Xier, the Yao clan people are good at hiding, and there are many of Yao Feifei's companions around her. They must know that we want to catch them and won't make a move easily. It's normal for your plan to fail, Xier.”

Yaowan's soothing words made Feng Lingxi nod, "I underestimated them. I was too confident in myself."

“Xier, let's put Yao Feifei's matter aside for now. I still want to handle your father's attack on Linxi County myself. Your mother and father must have a final outcome. You stay here and wait for me to return. With the strength of the Yao tribe and the help of the Huangxia Dynasty, we are confident in defeating your parents.”

“Then I'll go with Mother. Otherwise, Xi’er won't feel at ease. Besides, Xi’er is more familiar with Linxi County. With the two of us working together, we are sure to save Linxi County.”

“This…”

Yao Wan'ying hesitated, Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Mother, trust me once, I can do it."

"That lady should go to the palace and ask the Emperor. Once she's spoken to him, we can set off tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi nodded and hurriedly told Xiaoli, "Let's clean up."

Little Li followed Feng Lingxi out, and hurriedly said, "Miss, actually Madam would be more suitable to go than you. Here, Yao Feifei is still watching us, and there are people from the Empress Dowager. In Linxi County, there are several generals guarding, General Feng wouldn't be so easy to capture."

Although this is the case, I still have to go. Xiaoli, don't forget, Yao Feifei couldn't catch me here, they will definitely find other ways to get rid of me. Going to Linxi County gives them a chance, and perhaps even the Empress Dowager's people will appear. Then I'll know for sure, is it Dugu Xiu, or someone else

Feng Lingxi's eyes suddenly turned cold. Whether it was Dugu Xiu or Yao Feifei, they all had to have an end.

If the young master knew, he would certainly stop Miss from going to war. A lady shouldn't be fighting and killing like this, especially since Miss had fallen off a cliff before, who knows if there are any hidden injuries on her head...

Feng Ling's footsteps came to a halt. She turned and looked at the chattering Xiao Li, reprimanding her with displeasure, "Xiao Li, I'm already fine, don't keep saying these things. Besides, what's wrong with being a daughter There are countless female generals out there. I'm not some helpless weak woman. Why can't I go to war Moreover, warfare requires brains, not brute force."

"But, even so, I feel it's not right for the young mistress to go to war, especially since she would be facing your father."

"He doesn't treat me like his daughter, why should I treat him like my father"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Feng Ling's tone turned cold, "Xiao Li, this isn't our reason. It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they come to fight, they are our enemy, unless they give up on this war with us."

Little Li saw that the Princess wasn't pleased, so she nodded, knowing that talking more would be useless, and said nothing further.

"Go tidy up, we leave tomorrow."

Feng Ling entered the room, carefully putting on her bow and crossbow. She put the silver needles she had bought back in place. It had been a long time since she last returned to Xixian County, and she wondered if all her things were still alright. Would the gunpowder still be well preserved

Yao Wan'ying returned in the evening. She had already spoken to Huangfu Ying about returning to Xixian County with Feng Lingxi, and learned that Feng Lingxi had recovered her memory. Huangfu Ying did not object too much, only reminding her to return after the battle.

The next day, Feng Lingxi and Yao Wan'ying quietly returned to Linxi County with a group of horsemen, while the Yao clan's troops went there secretly. No one knew how many soldiers Feng Lingxi and Yao Wan'ying brought back to Linxi County.

Xiao Li arrived earlier to relay the message to Sun, the deputy general of Linxi County. Upon learning of the Queen's return, Sun and General Zhang, who was guarding the valley entrance, led their troops to greet her. “The humble general welcomes the Queen’s return.”

Feng Lingxi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, helping them up. "General Zhang, please stand up,"

"My Queen, it's wonderful you are still alive."

General Sun saw Feng Lingxi, his eyes welled up with tears. He had always felt guilty and regretted not staying to protect the princess back then, letting her get into trouble. Now that the princess was back, he was the happiest of them all.

"General Sun, it's been a long time."

Feng Lingxi greeted them and quickly introduced, "Generals, this is my mother. She came back with me this time to fight alongside us."

"Good madam."

Yao Wan Ying looked at their attitude towards Xi Er, nodded slightly, "Greetings, Generals."

"Don't just stand here, let's go back and talk. Ever since the Lord and Lady left this city, things have become so dull! If the people knew that the Lady had returned, they would certainly bring her the best herbs they could find with both hands."

Lieutenant Sun greeted them with a smile. Everyone in Linxi County knew about the Princess's alchemical endeavors, and many had stocked up on medicinal herbs intending to send them as gifts.

Feng Lingxi and others returned to the county town. Looking at the familiar environment, Feng Lingxi had a feeling of coming home.

Although this place is not as luxurious as the dwelling of the summer court, she lived comfortably here because it was filled with many memories.

"Your Highness, all the sulfur ash has been brought back. Not a single piece was left behind."

General Sun knelt on the ground, his eyes sincere. Feng Lingxi was startled by his action and hurriedly said, "General Sun, please get up quickly. What are you doing"

"Your Highness, this general is deeply sorry. If I had stayed to protect you with my life, you wouldn't have suffered such hardship. It was all my fault, and I beg for your forgiveness."

"This has nothing to do with you, get up."

Feng Lingxi motioned Xiao Li to help Sun, the deputy general, up. Seeing him get up, she said, “Back then, I didn't actually fall down. It was just that when Xiao Li arrived, something happened, causing me to fall off the cliff. But luckily, heaven spared me, and here I am, alive and well.”

Feng Lingxi’s words made General Sun's eyes well up with tears. He really didn't expect the princess to not blame him, and even comfort him like this.

"My lady, from now on I will belong to you. I am willing to swear my allegiance to you until death." today, raining and making the road difficult to walk on. The sky was even colder, so she probably needed to prepare more supplies for the journey."In that case, I'm afraid it will take quite a bit of...
