appen if the Crown Princess comes to her senses She could be very detrimental to you. Doing this could easily backfire."獨孤城走了出來，風淩曦走到桌子前坐下，獨孤城給她倒了一杯水，風淩曦接過，一口氣喝乾了。"Feng Linglong wasn't stupid, she kne..."Your Highness, would you not like to chat with His Royal Highness"

Xiao Li saw the Princess emerge and hurriedly asked, "Just now I saw the Princess's excited expression. How could it change like this in such a short time Did the two of you have an argument"

"Go and see the arsenic."

Xiao Li watched the queen's back and hurried to follow.

When Bi Shuang saw her, she quickly got up and asked, “Xi'er, I heard that Dugu Xiu came to find you for support. Can you take me with you”

Feng Lingxi's expression stiffened, and her gaze towards the arsenic gradually turned cold. "How did you know that Dugu Xiu came to me for support"

"Your Highness, it was I who told her. She just wanted to leave and go find Dugu Xiu. I couldn't stop her, so I had no choice but to resort to this measure and tell her about this matter. If you want to beat or scold me, please feel free. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Xiao Li knelt down, raising her head to look at the princess, her attitude of admitting her mistake was extremely sincere.

"Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with the King" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, her eyes colder. Seeing Xiaoli's silence, the coldness in her voice frightened Pi Shuang beside her. She spoke up and persuaded, "Your Highness, Xiaoli is only doing this to help me. She didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between Your Majesty and your Highness."

"No, I intentionally eavesdropped on the Princess and the Prince's conversation. I wanted to know if the real Zi Xing was in the Prince's possession."

Xiaoli raised her head and looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes firm. "Even if I anger the Princess and make you unhappy, I still want to ask, is Zixing really on the Lord's body"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's eyes, pulled her up and walked outside. Ashi saw this and wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

Taking Xiao Li to the pharmacy, Feng Ling Xi had someone guard outside before questioning her, "Why insist on knowing this Is Zi Xing so important to be in anyone's hands"

"Purple Star must remain on the Princess's person. This slave is not telling the Princess to simply trust her, but if something truly happens, Purple Star can save the Princess's life. The Princess should listen to this slave, these are all instructions from Madam."

Speaking of her mother, Feng Lingxi’s expression softened slightly. “Although I don’t know why you keep emphasizing that I should bring Zi Xing with me, now that you’ve said so, I will take Zi Xing back with me.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for trusting me. As long as the true Zi Xing is on your person, even if you asked me to die, I would not hesitate.”

"Who wants your life."

Feng Lingxi gave her a cold glance and said, "You've always mentioned to me that Zixing should be with me. I want to know if your mother contacted you"

Xiaoli raised her head and met the queen's scrutinizing gaze, shaking her head like a tambourine.

"No, madam has not sought me out. I swear to heaven, I truly have not seen madam."

"Okay, I was just asking, you don't need to be so tense."

Feng Lingxi impatiently waved her hand, making Xiao Li get up. No matter what, Xiao Li was loyal to her, she shouldn't have been so harsh on her.

As night deepened and a cool breeze blew, Dugu City woke up from his slumber. He had been sleeping soundly all night and hadn't seen Xi'er return. He called for Ye Xi to inquire, only to learn that Xi'er had gone out but hadn't come back. Glancing at the darkening sky, Dugu City's handsome brows furrowed. "What time is it"

"Your Majesty, it's the third watch of the night."

Dugu City put on his clothes and walked out, glancing around. "Where did Xi'er go At this time in the middle of the night, she didn't come back to sleep. Could it be that what Ben Wang said today made her sad" He didn't say anything else. Xi'er shouldn't be so fragile.

The Queen often went to the military camp in the valley during the King's absence. She frequently went there with Xiao Li and would sometimes stay for a long time, returning home infrequently. The King was unaware of this. I heard from my subordinates that the Queen had created many new things at the camp, which always amazed the soldiers.

"She's quite amazing, having so much fun playing with these soldiers."

Dugu City’s tone was sour, he had returned, but Xi'er did not accompany him. Instead, she went to play with the soldiers. Did she even have a sliver of thought for him in her heart

"Go take a look."

Ye Xi hurried to lead the way, and together with the Prince Wang, they arrived at the military camp in the valley. Looking at the soldiers guarding under the moonlight, they walked towards General Zhang's tent. She had intended to ask General Zhang about Xi’er's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, as she reached the doorway, she heard Xi’er's voice.

"General Zhang, we've run out of sulfur stones. Could we perhaps take advantage of the war between Dugu Xiu and the Kingdom of Gallo to go back and retrieve some"

"Your Majesty, this sulfur stone's location at Shí Lǐ Pō is too close to the battlefield. It is truly unwise to risk venturing there."

Dugu Cheng turned his head to look at Ye Xi, lowered his voice and asked, "What does Xi'er want sulfur stone for"

Ye Xi looked at the King, her expression was one of "you ask me, I ask who," which made Dugu Cheng frown and continue to eavesdrop.

"But without enough sulfur stones, we can't continue developing our gunpowder. And, the sulfur stones need to be brought back as soon as possible."

"The meaning of the Princess, we all understand. Otherwise, let's discuss with the Prince. If the Prince agrees, we will send someone to..."

General Zhang hadn't finished speaking when Feng Lingxi retorted, displeased, "General Zhang, now that the Young Master has returned, are you going to ask him about everything"

"Your Majesty, I am the loyal wife of the King. However, I feel this matter requires discussion with Your Majesty. In case Your Majesty disagrees, I fear Your Majesty's displeasure..."

"Isn't it just about transporting a few stones Would this king be so petty" Dugu City couldn't stand it anymore. Xi'er usually found it so difficult to transport even a few stones in the military camp, hadn't he made her as his queen feel too powerless

General Zhang and Feng Lingxi and others saw Dugu City enter, and hurriedly bowed.

"The last general greets the Lord."

Du Gu Cheng walked quickly to Feng Ling Xi's face. Looking at her surprised expression, he lightly tapped her nose, "What Seeing this king gives you such an expression"

"My Lord, why are you here"

In the dead of night, he came here without sleep. Could he be looking for her

Dugu City looked at her astonished gaze, his face full of displeasure. "You have the nerve to ask this king why he came here This king would like to ask you, you don't sleep at three in the morning and run to General Zhang's place. You dare to ask this king what he is doing here"

General Zhang, upon hearing the King's words, paled and hurriedly explained, "My lord, the Princess just arrived to discuss matters with me. I..."

"General Zhang, please withdraw first."

Wind Lingxi interrupted General Zhang's words. Hearing this, it made her seem like she had a relationship with General Zhang. This Dugu City was jealous and needed to consider who he was dealing with. If Wind Lingxi really wanted to put a green hat on him, why would she choose someone like General Zhang as her elder

General Zhang glanced at Dugu City. Seeing that he remained silent, he quickly retreated.

"Pay attention to how you speak. General Zhang is honest and simple, he can't stand being scared like that. I came here to discuss the transportation of sulfur stones with him."

"Even if you wanted brimstone, there was no need to come to someone's tent in the middle of the night. Don't you worry about what people might say"

"Who dares say I'm idle" Feng Lingxi's face darkened, and the atmosphere around her grew heavy, the air thick with tension.auty. Besides this, what else could it beNo matter who he cooperates with, he is either our friend or our enemy.Dugu Cheng walked over and looked at Feng Lingxi's thin clothes, "Xiao Li, go get the cl...
