ll of anger. Seeing her arrival, she complained resentfully, "Your Highness, these soldiers are too much! This time, you were acting on orders, but they blame everything on you! They say it's because..."Your Highness, she's really gone."

Xiao Li was delighted, her face beaming with pride. She even dared to compete with the princess.

Wind Ling turned to look at Lu Nian beside her, "Although what we said was a bit serious, it wasn't untrue. The rest is up to you, send her back. I have done what I promised you."

Lu Nian hurriedly accompanied her with a smile, "I've already sent people to look for him. Thank you, little sister, for helping my brother out of trouble." After finishing speaking, she gave Feng Lingxi a thumbs-up.

"Lu Nian!"

Princess Qingfeng saw that Lu Nian hadn't kept up and shouted loudly, "Hurry up."

"Sister, I'm leaving first."

Lu Nian waved at Feng Lingxi and hurried to catch up.

"This willful princess is really hard to please. If she were with Young Master Lu, I'm afraid his life would be difficult."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's serious expression, "This is his choice, but I don't think Lu Nian and Princess Qingfeng would end up together."

Three sons in the Lu family, who knows if it might be them. This marriage alliance also has to see if it is suitable.

Feng Lingxi lowered her phoenix eyes, "I don't know if there's any news from Yu Mo."

For so many days, she's been really worried, afraid that Yu Mo would get into trouble.

"Your Highness, no news is good news. Young Master Yu Mo is blessed with good fortune and martial prowess, nothing will happen to him."

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, but her mood wouldn't lift.

Fengpo'ao, after several days of searching, there was no news of Fengyumo. Without a body, Dugucheng absolutely didn't believe that Fengyumo was in trouble.

"My lord, the county magistrate has arrived."

Ye Xi brought in a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a county magistrate. The man had a big head and ears, his heavy steps and fawning expression made Dugu Cheng look at him with disdain.

"The lower official Zhou Cai has just seen Your Highness, the Prince of Dawn."

"County Magistrate Zhou, it is truly difficult for this Prince to wish to meet you."

Dugu Cheng spoke, Zhou Cai swiftly knelt down, "Your Highness Prince Chen, the official is terrified, I don't know what Your Highness means"

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty"

He's been here for how many days Having this Zhou County Magistrate come to see him, he called him three days ago, and it's only now that he's finally showing up, really making him look differently. This little County Magistrate, his official airs are quite big.

"The official is terrified, truly unable to spare the time. I beg Your Highness, King Chen, for forgiveness. The official was attending to matters of suppressing bandits and discussing with the magistrate. This caused a delay."

Zhou Cai explained that he had someone backing him up, and besides, this Dugu City was a past-its-prime prince. Let alone the court not using him, if it weren't for his title as Prince Chen, how many officials of the Great Yuan Dynasty would take him seriously

Although I despise him in my heart, this week he was still smart. He brought out the magistrate, and even the Crown Prince wouldn't dare to treat him badly.

"Hearing what the Zhou County Magistrate had to say, does this Prefect need three more days to discuss matters of suppressing bandits with you"

Zhou Cai immediately said, "Your Highness, the magistrate is very busy with official duties. I have to cooperate with him..."

"Zhou County Magistrate, what you're saying is that this prince is less powerful than the Prefect"

獨孤城的俊臉陰沉如滴水，好一個縣令，真是目中無人，他再怎樣，也是個王爺，這縣令已經不把他放在眼裡，這知府就更不把他當回事了。

"The official dares not."

Although Zhou Cai had knelt down, there was not a hint of fear in his expression.

"Indeed, the magistrate's recent summons for discussions on suppressing bandits has kept this lowly official occupied. As soon as I had some free time, I rushed here."

"Damn it."

獨孤城厲聲嗬斥，“本王召見，還需等三天，周縣令，你好大的架子。”

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. I was only following orders."

Zhou Cai's attitude made Du Gucheng's handsome face increasingly grim. Staring at Zhou Cai with fearless eyes, he spoke in a deep voice, "Sir Prefect, do you know why I sought you out"

"Naturally."

"Very good."

Dugu City looked at Zhou Cai and said, "Since Zhou County Magistrate and the prefect have already discussed the matter of suppressing bandits, this king will not interfere. I trouble Zhou County Magistrate and Prefect to recover the disaster relief silver and ten thousand dan of rice that the court gave to Tumuwzhen and personally escort it to Tumuwzhen. This king will immediately withdraw his troops."

Zhou Caifang heard that Dugu Cheng was going to withdraw his troops, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Prince Chen, this is absolutely not possible. The Emperor ordered me to cooperate with you in suppressing the bandits. If you leave, what am I supposed to do"

"Cooperation"

Dugu Cheng let out a cold snort. "Have you ever cooperated"

Zhou Cai was stunned by Duguxing's rebuke.

"Ye Xi, send the order down, retreat to Linxi County immediately."

Dugu Cheng spoke, Zhou Cai became agitated and hurriedly stood up to block him. "Prince Chen, this won't do! You can't leave! If you leave, what about suppressing the bandits"

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Xi's long sword shot out of its scabbard with a swoosh, causing Zhou Cai to retreat several steps in fright. He stared at Ye Xi fearfully. Dugu City said coldly, "Since the County Magistrate and the Prefect have already discussed it, this King doesn't need to interfere. You, take care of yourself."

If Father were still alive, Dugu City would probably have taken Zhou Cai's life on the spot, but now, under pressure from circumstances, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. At least, he had to consider Wan'er and Xi'er.

Dugu City's army withdrew from Fengpoao, Zhou Caifa hurriedly went back to inform the magistrate, and that magistrate overnight had Zhou Caifa and himself jointly write a letter to the imperial court, saying that Dugu City had withdrawn its troops and refused to suppress bandits.

When the army of Dugu City returned to the camp, the news quickly reached the Chen Wangfu. Feng Lingxi heard the news and was very surprised. These days, she had no time to write a letter because of the news that Nangong Huayun's mother passed away, but she didn't expect to hear that Dugu City was back.

"Your Majesty, Master Huayun sent a letter."

Xiao Li walked forward with a letter in her hand and handed it to Feng Ling Xi.

Wind Ling Xi finished reading the letter, her brows furrowed. "Gongzi Hua Yun has already sent a letter to the Prime Minister, setting out to escort Lady Nan Gong's coffin back to the capital."

"Your Highness, this journey is long, by the time we return to the capital..."

"Nangong Huayun will handle it well."

Xiaoli nodded, "I never expected this would happen."

Has there been any news from Lu Nian Did Princess Qingfeng leave

Since she left, there's been no word, and it's hard to know how to reach out.

Recently, there have been too many things happening. Feng Lingxi was so busy that she almost forgot about time. Fortunately, Wan'er didn't need her to worry about it. This girl is a quick learner. Ever since she hired a tutor, she hasn't bothered her anymore. It's the tutor who is hounded by Wan'er every day with questions this and that. Her eagerness to learn makes the tutor particularly fond of her.

"Master, just tell me, what can my mother do to give birth to a younger brother for me"

Feng Lingxi, as soon as she arrived at the academy, heard Wan'er's voice. Upon hearing this question, Feng Lingxi stopped her steps and wanted to know how Mr. would answer her

"My little ancestor, can you please not ask me this question It's embarrassing, so embarrassing!"

"Why"

Wan'er ran up to him and, unwilling to give up, continued to ask her teacher.o, that stupid woman seems to be wearing Purple Star."Yao Feifei came to her senses and hurriedly pulled Grandpa Hao, saying, “I really saw that purple light. It was exactly the same as the one Grandp...
