Chapter 661: Yao's Turmoil 31

old servant is just worried that the young princess is too young and her medical skills are not refined. If she harms the Old Empress Dowager, this old servant doesn't know how to explain it to the Em...When news spread throughout Linxi County that Feng Lingxi was returning to the city, everyone eagerly awaited their princess's return for the New Year. As dusk approached, a carriage arrived at the city gate, and the commotion awoke Feng Lingxi.

"Xiao Li, what happened outside"

"Your Highness, the people of Linxi County know that you are returning. They are all welcoming you back to the city."

Feng Ling Xi heard Xiao Li's joyful voice, lifted the curtain of the carriage, the carriage entered the city, and seeing the people standing in the snow cheering her arrival, Feng Ling Xi's heart moved. Looking at them, a long-lost smile appeared on her face, it was faint, but it made people feel very distressed.

"Xi'er!"

Dugu City's voice entered Feng Lingxi's ears. Looking at Dugu City who was galloping towards her, Feng Lingxi stood there. Dugu City turned his horse and dismounted, excitedly stepping forward, hugging Feng Lingxi tightly, calling her name over and over again. Feng Lingxi let him hold her, inhaling the scent from his body, her heart being filled little by little.

Xiaoli looked at the Princess like this, her eyes were moist. If the King knew about the Princess's life these days, he wouldn't be so happy.

"Xier, this king misses you so much."

獨孤城 nestled in her neck, whispering softly, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, content.

Feng Ling's body trembled slightly, she raised her hand and gently hugged him, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, the smile on her face made people feel even more heartbroken.

As he came down, he saw such a scene. Looking at Feng Lingxi cuddling in Dugu Cheng's shoulder and weeping, for a moment, his throat felt as if something was stuck in it, unable to utter a single word. He had never felt this way before, nor did he know why he had this feeling.

Perhaps it was because I didn't protect Feng Lingxi well, and she lost her first child.

Luo Li told herself this, Feng Ling Xi also saw Luo Li's gaze from afar, and it was Luo Li's complicated expression that made her realize her tears shouldn't appear. She couldn't let Du Gu Cheng know the child was gone, this pain, since it happened, let her bear it alone.

Having adjusted her inner emotions, Feng Lingxi pushed open Dugu Cheng's door. Looking into his worried eyes, she forced a smile, but couldn't hide it from him. Seeing Feng Lingxi's slightly red eyes, Dugu Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "Xier, why are you crying"

The tone of voice, filled with heartache and worry, made Feng Ling Xi's smile seem a bit heartbreaking. "Du Gu Cheng, I miss you."

It's good to see him.

Feng Ling Xi's unwilling tears slid from the corner of her eye, making Du Gu Cheng feel heartbroken at once. He hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears and said indulgently, "You're back now, aren't you Don't cry, it's cold outside, it'll hurt your body."

Feng Lingxi broke into a smile, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

Luo Li walked up to them, and Dugu City greeted Luo Li when he saw her.

"Brother Lu, it's good to see you again. Thank you."

Luo Li glanced at Feng Ling Xi, just about to speak when Feng Ling Xi quickly said, "Du Gu Cheng, Luo Li is the leader of the Yao clan. He has taken good care of me this time. We would like to invite him into the city to stay at our mansion for a night and thank him properly."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's panicked eyes. Was she afraid he would tell Dugu Cheng about her miscarriage

"I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going back to the Yao tribe now..."

"It's almost nightfall. Rest in the city for the night, Your Highness. I will treat you to a drink."

Du Gu Cheng wanted to properly thank Luo Li, no matter what his status was, he made Xi Er return to the Yao Clan, after all, he protected Xi Er and deserved thanks.

It's getting late, the chief will go back tomorrow.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, "I still have some things to discuss with the chieftain."

Luo Li saw the wind swirling and said this, nodding. "Then I'll trouble you."

Feng Lingxi nodded. Dugu Cheng hugged her onto the carriage and looked at the people on both sides of the street. Feng Lingxi gave them a slight smile, as if she had returned to the days when she lived in Linxi County. These familiar yet unfamiliar faces made her feel warm.

Although the Yao people's life was luxurious, it was as cold and impersonal as a palace, making her almost forget what warmth felt like.

"Dugu City, there are many things I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start."

"Xier, what do you want to say"

Dugu Cheng listened to her gentle voice, hearing her helplessness and unease in her tone. His heart ached, and he also wanted to know how she had been during this time with the Yao clan. Facing those members of the Yao clan, she must have been very uncomfortable, after all, they didn't like her as the Saintess, and even forced her mother-in-law to jump off a cliff.

Feng Lingxi sank her voice, "Go back and tell them."

There are some things she truly should give Du Gucheng an explanation for.

For example, the incident where she had Ah Man find General Sun to blow up the water tank, she didn't tell him. She knew Duke Gu would definitely reprimand General Sun, but since she gave the order, she had to explain it clearly for him.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Feng Lingxi saw Huangfu Qingyun. Upon seeing her return, Huangfu Qingyun walked towards her, her handsome face adorned with a gentle smile that made Dugu Cheng feel a twinge of jealousy, yet he couldn't help but feel it.

"Big brother."

Feng Ling Xi's words turned the bitterness in Du Gu Cheng's heart into pity for Huang Fu Qing Yun. Although Xi Er was once crowned Princess Yao Hua by the Chao Xia dynasty, she was ultimately a fake princess. Yet Huang Fu Qing Yun wanted to turn their betrothed relationship into a sibling one.

Huangfu Qingyun had also told him that as long as their feelings remained good, he would always be Xi'er's older brother.

"He came a few days after me."

Huangfu Qingyun reached out and touched Feng Lingxi's hair, looking at Luoli behind her. He bowed to Luoli politely and greeted her.

"Chief."

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised that Huangfu Qingyun knew Luo Li's status as the clan leader.

"Prince Huangpu, long time no see."

Luo Li greeted him, and looking at his relationship with Feng Ling Xi, his eyes were as they used to be.

"So you two know each other."

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li and Huangfu Qingyun, her curious eyes darting between them. Huangfu Qingyun explained, "The clan chief and I met by chance."

"Then he wouldn't have anything to do with you this time when he comes to the Yao Clan, would he"

Windling suddenly thought of Luoli finding her back to the Yao clan. During her time in the capital, she curiously looked back and forth between them. Huangpu Qingyun shook his head, “It's okay, although we know each other, I don't participate or interfere in Yao clan matters.”

"Things about the Yao people are not to be shared with outsiders, and my relationship with him isn't what you might imagine."

Luo Li didn't know why she needed to explain this to her, "I came back to get you to handle your mother's affairs because something happened to her. I received the news, and the clan leader's elders asked me to come down from the mountain to investigate."

"So it seems your chieftain still has elders above him, and the place you dwell must be another Yao tribe."

Feng Ling Xi's words were actually laced with a hint of probing. Since he was the chieftain, if there weren't other members of his tribe, he should live among the Yao people just like any other member of the Yao tribe. However, he had just mentioned the ancestors of the Yao people, which meant that his place still had other Yao people living there.adually faded as he met Li Wuyan's questioning gaze. "It wasn't my intention, it was the elders' decision.""So, you had someone 'drug' her, making her miscarry from poisoning"Luo Li looked at Li Wu Ya...
