Chapter 816: Falling Frost Flower 6

but even so, I wouldn't do this now. When Dugu City returns, we will have our own plans.” The Empress Dowager was Dugu City's biological mother and her mother-in-law. She couldn't ignore her life or..."What kind of person would use such a weapon"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City. This pinhole was left by a needle, which meant that the other party used an extremely fine weapon. If they only wanted to assassinate Yao Chu, why would they stab him with a sword

Dugu Cheng's palm pressed against Yao Chu's neck, using his internal force to push out a very fine silver needle from the puncture wound. Feng Lingxi took the silver needle and examined it carefully, her eyes cold.

"This person's martial arts are extremely high, with this one needle, Yao Chu is basically already unable to live."

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, "The other party deliberately caused Yao Chu to be killed by a sword."

"He was warning me."

Feng Lingxi stood up and wiped her hands. "I think I know who he is."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, seeing the coldness within them. He instinctively grasped her hand, "Xier, are you going to avenge Yao Chu"

"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure it was him." It's just that he's the most likely suspect. She absolutely has to give the Yao clan an explanation for Yao Shu's death, and if it turns out to be him, she definitely won't let him go.

Then let's figure it out before we take any action.

Dugu Cheng held Feng Lingxi's hand, his eyes firm. "The other party is just sending a warning."

"I know, relax."

With the opponent's skill, if they truly wanted to kill her, she wouldn't stand a chance of escaping.

Dugu Cheng was worried about exactly this. Even though Xi'er had medical skills, what use were they against such high martial arts He feared Xi'er wouldn't even have a chance to make a move. He had to strengthen his manpower to protect Xi'er's safety.

"Has the chieftain sent any news"

Feng Lingxi asked, her clan hesitated for a moment before taking out a letter and handing it to her. Feng Lingxi opened it and glanced at it, her brows slightly furrowed.

"He left for the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "He didn't say what he was going back to do, only that he needed a few months of time."

He certainly had important things to do when he went back.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with my mother." Feng Lingxi frowned, even after so long, her mother hadn't sent any news. Half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and it seemed like her mother had forgotten about her daughter.

After the Yao people took care of her, she is now facing this situation again, and she has to be busy again.

"Give Yao Shu a proper burial. After that, don't come here again for matters concerning the Yao clan. Find a way to contact me in the city, and I will arrange a place for us to meet. Don't let anyone notice you. This place is changed."

Wind Lingxi ordered, and the clan members responded. Wind Lingxi and Dugu City came out, looking at the moon hanging in the sky with complex expressions.

"Lord, it's getting late. Let's rest here for the night and continue on in the morning. Safety is important."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City and asked for his opinion. Seeing him nod, she went to the arranged room to settle down.

"Xier, is the person you guessed the one I asked you to find"

In the room, Dugu City saw the worry in Feng Lingxi's eyes. He walked to her side and sat down, reaching out to knead her shoulders. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod and fall into thought, he fell silent.

“Actually, I know I shouldn't doubt him. But, looking at the current situation, Dugu Yu is no longer in the capital and it couldn't be him. Both Dugu Xiu and Yelu Hong have escaped, they wouldn't possibly warn me. Among the people I've been in contact with recently, besides him, I really can't think of anyone else.”

"Xier felt that the poison on his body was real or..."

"Unsure."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the window, winked, and whispered, "Be careful, walls have ears."

獨孤城 walked to the window, looked at the open window, poked his head out, his eyes swept across the surroundings, his gaze fell on a tree opposite him, his eyes narrowed slightly, he waved his sleeve, turned around and closed the windows.

"What's wrong"

Feng Ling hurriedly walked to Du Gu Cheng's face and looked out the window, but was stopped by Du Gu Cheng. "It's nothing, this king just wanted to see if anyone was peeking at this king and Xi'er enjoying their private moments in the boudoir."

Feng Lingxi's face flushed slightly, she glared at Dugu City angrily, "What time is it, and you're still joking with me."

"I can't keep a straight face all the time, Your Majesty. I've finally come back, and I haven't even had time to properly see Xi'er before getting into trouble."

Wind Ling Xi heard his words and found them rather poignant.

"I led Dugu Cheng to sit down," "This time, with your triumphant return, Dugu Yan should be satisfied with you. Judging from their attitude, it seems we are safe within the court."

Dugu City shook his head, "Don't forget, the three kings entered Beijing. Besides King Pingxi who was taken away by Luo Ju Zhou, both King Pingnan and King Pingbei are in the capital city and have no intention of leaving. The Emperor and Empress Dowager don't know what their intentions are and haven't spoken up yet."

Feng Lingxi thought that now that Mo Huai Lan was pregnant, King Pingbei was stationed in the capital city, and Princess Pingbei intended to send her niece to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, it probably wouldn't be as simple as just staying put.

"These things, as long as they don't interfere with us, we don't care about."

Feng Lingxi poured a cup of water for Dugu Cheng and pushed it in front of him. Thinking about what had happened in the capital recently, Feng Lingxi asked, "Do you know about the poison on him"

Dugu Cheng frowned and mentioned Dugu Su again. Dugu Cheng's vigilance had noticeably increased. Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's getting late. You should rest early. You were tired today as well."

Dugu Cheng scooped her up from the waist and walked towards the bed.

"I'm so exhausted! I don't care about anything tonight, Your Majesty needs a good night's sleep."

Feng Lingxi wanted to get up, but was held down by Dugu City. His eyes warned her, Feng Lingxi let go of her hands and stared at the door, "The door is unlocked."

"With Ye Xi and Xiao Li outside, it's fine."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth wide, and saw that Dugu City had held her in his arms, hugging her tightly. "Don't think about it anymore, this king is exhausted and have no interest. They won't hear any noise."

Wind Ling quickly covered his mouth, her blushing face glaring at him, "What are you shouting for"

Du Gu Cheng's eyes were full of smiles, looking at Xi Er like this, he actually had a feeling of stealing love from each other.

"Asleep."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng's weary face, those dark circles under his eyes made her heart ache.

He only glanced at the doorway before turning back to look at Dugu City. He was already asleep, Feng Lingxi snuggled in his arms, looking at his face, her eyes filled with heartache.

Only then could he rest well.

Feng Lingxi closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

Feng Ling Xi had just fallen asleep when Dugu Cheng opened his eyes, got up and walked to the door. Ye Xi stood at the door, and Dugu Cheng leaned down and said a few words to him. Then Ye Xi vanished into the night.

Dugu Cheng looked at Xiao Li standing not far away, "You don't have to stand guard tonight, go rest. About what just happened..."

"I haven't seen anything."

Xiao Li's words pleased Dugu City very much. She was a smart girl.

How dare Xiaoli say she saw Tianxianglou's master's sharp eyes She said she wouldn't tell the Princess.

Back in the room, Dugu City embraced Feng Lingxi and fell asleep. They slept soundly all night without a single dream, a rare good night's sleep for them both.patiently rolled his eyes at Ye Xi, "Of course it's good for a man to be clean and self-restrained. Otherwise, with my name as the young master of the Lu family, I would have already had many wives an...
