is."In short, it couldn't be you.Dugu Xiu glanced at him, “You don't need to stage a play for yourself. By the way, this king heard that Feng Lingxi was also taken away, have you found her”Dugu City s...Feng Lingxi, upon hearing Xiaoli's words, became even more certain that her mother had been hiding her identity.

But why would Mother hide her identity and stay at the General's Mansion for so many years, even keeping it from Little Li

“Your Highness, I am loyal to you with all my heart. It was for your safety that I kept my martial arts skills a secret.”

Xiao Li knelt down, her face full of sincerity, “I know I have done wrong, please, Your Highness, punish me.”

"Get up."

Little Li raised her head, her eyes filled with apprehension, "Your Highness, you don't blame me, do you"

If I blame you, wouldn't that be the same as blaming Mother She let you conceal things for a reason.

Xiao Li stood up and stepped aside, “Your Highness, in fact, everything Madam did was to protect your safety. As for the matter of faking her death, Madam asked you to help because she wanted to wait for the right time to explain things clearly to you. She just didn't expect to find Zi Xing so soon.”

Feng Lingxi responded, "As for what happened to Zi Xing, just pretend you never heard about it."

“Yes, I understand.”

Xiao Li saw that the Princess was not going to press him further, so she remained silent.

Since you know martial arts, from today onwards, you will be responsible for protecting your second sister's safety.

Xiao Li's face was full of confusion, "Your Highness, what do you mean I am your maidservant, she..."

Feng Lingxi stared at Xiaoli, her cold and sharp gaze made Xiaoli lower her head hastily, "Slave obeys."

"Please step back, I'm feeling a bit tired."

Wind Ling Xi rubbed her temples, guessing that it was all true. She now couldn't even trust Xiao Li. The people around her mother hadn't told her anything, thinking about how Xiao Li had served by her side for several months, she hadn't noticed that she was skilled in martial arts and hiding so deeply, which indeed made her reflect on herself.

Holding the Purple Star, Feng Ling Xi took out a surgical knife from her sleeve and moved it on the surface of the Purple Star, removing its pendant. She then took a short nap.

When the banquet for cleansing dust began, Dugu City only then had Xiao Li call Feng Ling Xi over. Looking at the officers seated on their high places, Feng Ling Xi didn't seem out of place. It was those officers who, upon seeing Feng Ling Xi, seemed noticeably restrained.

"Xi'er, come to this king."

Feng Lingxi walked to Dugu Cheng's side and sat down. After Zhao Li, the two generals, learned about her situation, their attitude towards her also changed.

"Your Highness, this humble soldier offers you a toast. Your journey has been long and arduous, and I thank you for your perseverance."

General Zhao raised his cup, and General Li hurriedly followed suit, "Your Highness, I would also like to toast you."

Feng Lingxi held a cup of wine and smiled faintly at them, "The two generals don't need to be polite. This time I followed the prince on his campaign as a military doctor. In the future, I hope that both generals will give me more guidance."

"The princess' words, the last general has heard from the prince, the princess' medical skills are superb and she will surely be able to help..."

"Report!"

General Zhao hadn't finished speaking when soldiers reported, "Your Highness, a report from the front line: Liu Xi County has been breached. The army of the Xia Kingdom, numbering 100,000 strong, is now stationed there."

"What!"

General Zhao pounded the table in fury, "These brats dared to attack and capture County Liu Xi while our lord was away!"

General Li hurriedly stood up and bowed to Duke Duguo. "Your Highness, I request to be deployed for battle. This desolate summer has truly disregarded our Great Xing dynasty."

Dugu Cheng looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, "Where is Liu Xi County's county lord"

"Reporting to Your Lordship, Lady Liu Xi of Liu Xi County has already given her life for the country."

"My lord..."

Dugu City reached out and spoke in a deep voice, "Two generals, please don't be hasty. The Kingdom of Aoxia and our kingdom have always been friendly. Why would I, as the prince, come to Aoxia without knowing But at this very moment, the Aoxia army marches to war. Don't you two find it suspicious"

General Zhao and General Li exchanged glances. “What does the King mean”

Du Gu Cheng's eyes turned cold, "I'm afraid something is going to happen in the capital."

"My Lord."

Ye Xi quickly stepped forward and leaned into Dugu City's ear, whispering a report. Dugu City's face grew increasingly grim as he looked at Generals Zhao Li, "General Zhao, would you please go to the vicinity of Liu Xi County and investigate which general from Huang Xia is leading the troops"

"The last general will obey."

After General Zhao left, Dugu City fixed his gaze on General Li. "General Li, you personally go to Linhe County and have them strengthen their defenses. Prevent Huang Xia from capturing Linhe County, lest they attack from both front and rear."

"The last general obeys."

After General Li left, Dugu City finally told Feng Lingxi, "Just now a message came from the capital, saying that all the foreign envoys originally scheduled haven't come. Mother Empress asked us to be careful of the people the Empress has placed here."

"So you're saying the Empress has eyes here too"

Dugu Cheng responded with a grave expression, "It seems the Empress wants to take this opportunity to eliminate us."

"Are Father and Mother safe in the capital"

It seems she truly underestimated the Empress's capabilities. To be able to control the court, how could she be so easily brought down It appears this palace coup is far from over.

"The capital has Father Emperor and Mother Empress, we'll clean things up here."

Feng Lingxi seeing that he had made up his mind, did not ask any further.

"Xier, eat something first. You can rest in the camp later. This king has to go out for a while."

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu Cheng served her dishes, and said, "If you need help, just say so."

Dugu Cheng responded and, after finishing his meal, took Ye Xi out. Feng Lingxi was in the tent, playing with the jewelry brought by Xiaoli. She picked a piece of jewelry, dyed it with medicine water, and made a crystal stone identical to Zi Xing's. She put the fake Zi Xing into a necklace and worked until late at night before finishing.

"Xiao Li, has the prince returned"

Glancing out at the sky, it was already past three o'clock. I hope nothing happened.

"Your Majesty, the King hasn't returned yet. Please rest first. When the King returns, I will inform you immediately."

Wind Ling walked out and glanced at the sky outside. It was so late, and she hadn't returned yet. Could something have happened

"Xiao Li, do you have any news about Generals Zhao and Li"

Xiao Li shook her head, looking at the Queen's worried expression and comforted her, "Your Highness don't worry, the King is a war god, nothing will happen to him."

Feng Ling Xi was just thinking about whether she should go out and have a look, when she heard a commotion ahead. She heard someone shout loudly, "The Prince is injured, quickly call for the military doctor!"

"Your Highness…"

Xiao Li saw the princess rush over, and hurriedly followed her steps. When she arrived at the noisy place, she saw Ye Xi supporting Dugu City. Dugu City's arm was stained with blood, his handsome face pale as paper. She hurriedly stepped forward, "Ye Xi, let me."

"Xiao Li, bring my medicine chest to the tent."

Night Xi helped Dugu City onto the bed. Feng Ling Xi walked over to Dugu City and looked at the wound on his arm. She unbuttoned his clothes and saw the injury, her face darkened. "Were there any ambushes among you"

This blade sliced through Dugu City's arm, peeling back flesh and skin, the wound was deep, it was clear that Dugu City hadn't defended himself. Otherwise, with his skill, how could he have been wounded so badly

"Things are a bit complicated, Your Highness. Perhaps you should wait for the King to wake up and ask him yourself."er's heart seems to be related to this King. And it seems like this King really needs to find time to have a good chat with her." He was too focused on himself and hadn't noticed this at all.Huangfu Q...
