Chapter 923: Falling Frost Flower 123

tightly. Hearing this, Feng Lingxi became even more certain that her worries had come true."Qiu'er begged the Princess for help, hoping that after I left, she could let Shangguan Huan follow you. His...Yè Xī saw that the King did not speak, and did not dare to say more.

Standing beside him on the mountaintop, gazing towards the direction of the Yao clan, he actually hadn't been wanting anything other than for the king to go to the Yao clan to see his queen.

"As for that Phantom Moon, just let this King continue to plead on her behalf. I believe Dugu Su will eventually reveal a weakness."

Ye Xi responded, and a sound of horses' hooves came from afar. Ye Xi looked at General Li riding towards him and hurried forward. General Li whispered with Ye Xi for a while, then Ye Xi returned, "Your Highness, there are results to your inquiries."

On the lone city wall, Du Gu Cheng mounted his horse as snowflakes fell, landing on his stern face.

"Send the order down, block them off, kill them all."

Dugu City looked towards Yaozu, he still had time, Xi'er, wait for this king.

Feng Lingxi sneezed, and the chill of winter became even more biting. Xiao Li watched the wind and snow outside and draped a fox fur cloak over the queen's shoulders. Looking at the queen's heavily pregnant belly, her eyes were full of worry.

"Xiao Li, it's snowing again."

Wind Ling Xi stood with her belly, six months now, time flies, the year is almost over. This year's snow was particularly heavy, and the mountain road was covered in snow. Huang Fu Qingyun hadn't come back since last time, it had been two months already.

Seven months pregnant, Feng Lingxi could still walk without any inconvenience, but it was snowing heavily that day, making the ground slippery. She was restricted from going out.

I can't go out to see the scenery, I can only walk around in the Palace of the Holy Lord.

"Dr. Li said that once you give birth, he'll let you go out for some fresh air."

Xiao Li gave the hot water bottle to the princess. She was really bored staying on the mountain all day.

In three months' time, the child will be born and then the Princess will be free to move about as she pleases.

Feng Lingxi nodded. Although Dugu Cheng hadn't come to find her yet, she was relieved that Dugu Cheng and Huan Yue hadn't married, and that Dugu Cheng was still near the border. Even though she hadn't seen him, there was still a feeling of him around her.

Yesterday, the Crown Prince's letter arrived, saying that after the New Year, he would send several court ladies and midwives from the palace to help you deliver your baby smoothly.

Xiaoli mentioned Huangfu Qingyun, a smile on her face. In fact, Huangfu Qingyun's affection for the princess was evident to all. It's just that the princess treated him as a brother and wasn't willing to confide in him. However, the crown prince had no complaints about the princess and remained as kind to her as ever.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Li believed even more in the prince's character.

"Their midwives from the Yao tribe are excellent. Tell him you don't need them."

Feng Lingxi held a piece of paper and pen, thought for a long time and put it down.

"What is the Lord trying to do"

I want to write a letter to my mother, telling her that I'm doing well here and asking about her.

She was divorced. The court had a lot of opinions about Dugu City, and her mother concubine would probably be implicated as well. Dugu City's amnesia wasn't good for her, but Empress Shu treated her daughter-in-law sincerely. She is now seven months pregnant, but her mother concubine still doesn't know.

But when she picked up the pen, Feng Lingxi put it down again. Xiaoli looked at the Princess this way and asked in bewilderment, "Princess, why don't you write"

"I'm afraid that if I write it, my mother will be attacked by the court again. Forget it." As long as she is safe and sound, it doesn't matter. Everything she does could put Shutai Fei in danger, so it's best not to implicate her.

Life in the palace was not easy for women, she had come to understand that since her marriage.

Feng Lingxi's concerns were right. The court had been focusing on the Fourth Prince's Manor, and it was only recently that they had reduced their attention. If Feng Lingxi wrote a letter, it would definitely cause a stir.

"The slave shall go and listen for news for Your Holiness."

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, this time she didn't refuse.

As long as she's doing well, that's enough.

Xiao Li, seeing the sadness in the Queen's eyes, hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, have you thought about what to name the little one The little one is almost born, and a good name is very important. I think it's best to think about it sooner rather than later."

Not yet.

Feng Ling Xi stroked her abdomen, her eyes softening.

"There's plenty of time, no rush."

As she slowly thought about it, she still hadn't figured out if he was a boy or a girl. He would probably resemble both of them. If it were a girl, she would be as beautiful as Dugu City. If it were a boy, he would be just like him, exceptionally handsome. In the future, there would surely be many girls who liked him.

When mentioning her child, Feng Ling Xi's eyes softened, and her attention completely shifted to the child. Her mood improved considerably as well.

A heavy snowfall blanketed the entire Shang Yao tribe, its paths buried beneath thick snowdrifts. Within the tribal village, preparations for the upcoming New Year were already underway. For the Shang Yao people, the most joyous news after the New Year was the impending birth of their young master.

The news, who knows how it spread, reached the outside world. In an instant, it traveled to the capital. Empress Dowager Cen learned that Feng Lingxi was about to give birth. Calculating the time, she realized that Feng Lingxi had conceived a child right when she agreed to be divorced. Furious, she ordered an investigation into Sifang王府 and questioned Shu Taifei. Upon learning of Feng Lingxi's impending childbirth, Shu Taifei was even more shocked than Empress Dowager Cen. She ignored the empress dowager's accusations and kept asking if it was true.

“Your Majesty, are you truly unaware of this matter”

Shutai, the Imperial Consort, hastily shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Cen Taizi, the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, if I had known that Xier was pregnant, even if it meant sacrificing my life, I wouldn't have let her leave. Xier must have been deeply hurt by Cheng'er, and only because she is carrying a child would she agree to this."

The

Shu Taifei's eyes welled up with tears, her misty gaze brimming with excitement.

"Your Majesty, I humbly request permission to journey to the Yao Clan and search for Xi'er. I will surely provide Your Majesty with an explanation."

She wanted to see Xi'er, this child in her belly was her grandson, she wanted to watch him be born.

"Come, bring Consort Shu back to the palace and confine her to Shouning Palace."

Shù Taifei's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, this concubine…"

"Imperial Noble Consort Shu, please." Imperial Noble Consort Shu was taken back to the palace and imprisoned in Shouning Palace. Empress Cen spread the word and instructed Dugu Cheng that if he did not bring back Feng Lingxi, Imperial Noble Consort Shu would be executed for the crime of deceiving the emperor. In an instant, the news spread throughout the land.

It had already been half a month since Xiaoli received the news, and the crown princess was about to give birth. Now that such news had come out, it was really a headache. Most importantly, the crown princess's current body couldn't bear such stimulating news at all.

"Doctor Li, this matter cannot be told to the Holy Lord."

Xiao Li told Li Wu Yan the news, worried that the princess would know and take risks to return to Beijing.

She won't know, all messages are blocked.

Li Wuyan looked at Xiao Li, "Don't investigate everywhere if you're alright. Wait until she gives birth to the child and then we'll talk."

"Is that true"

Xiaoli looked at Li Wuyan and asked the question that had been puzzling her, "Is it true that so many people outside want to buy the princess's life"

Li Wuyan looked at Xiaoli, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Who let you look into this matter

Xiao Li's face changed abruptly after being reprimanded by Li Wu Yan, but she dared not show anger.

Feng Lingxi came out and immediately heard the news, Li Wuyan's scolding, Xiao Li's confusion, every word reached her ears, not a single word missed, all taken in.

"Ayuan, Xiao Li asked you, is it really true"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!replaced by a cold look. Li Wu Yan raised an eyebrow, "What, you think I'm wrong"Luo Li looked at Li Wu Yan's icy gaze, "She's just a child, can you be kinder to her""No need."Li Wuyan looked at Luo L...
