ou the truth, just to let you know who is the real murderer who poisoned his father.”“But the Empress Dowager is your birth mother, wouldn’t you be afraid that she would punish you along with her if y...Luo Li said she was leaving, but Dugu Cheng grabbed her arm, his voice full of pleading.

"Luo Li, this king hopes you won't forget what you promised this king."

Luo Li patted Du Gu Cheng's shoulder and took Li Wu Yan out of the mansion.

獨孤城 slumped in his chair, his mind a jumbled mess. Feng Lingxi had been abducted, and it had all happened so suddenly. He hadn't even managed to handle things properly at court before the Yao Clan made their move.

"This king will enter the palace and request an audience with the Emperor right now. This king is going to the Yao clan to save Xi'er."

"No."

Lu Nian stopped Dugu City, "You mustn't forget, you've only just gotten military power. The emperor's illness hasn't improved yet. If you leave now, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain Listen to me, speed up your plan and settle the affairs of court. Leave Xi'er's matter to me. Don't forget, Xi'er's family is the Lu family of Xigu country. With our Lu family stepping in, how could the Yao tribe harm her."

"Big brother, Wan'er is currently at Tianxiang Building. This king cannot let Wan'er fall into the hands of the Yao clan again. Big brother, please go back now and ask your father for help. Xi'er told me that the Lu family's heirloom is closely related to the purple star she wears. Madam Lu must know a lot about the Yao clan. This king begs the Lu family to take action."

Lu Nian nodded, comforting Dugu City, "Take good care of the affairs in the court. I'll set off to return to Xigu Kingdom now. We'll keep in touch. Remember what you promised Xi'er, protect Wan'er's safety, remember, don't let Yaozu take her away."

Dugu City nodded, Lu Nian hurriedly packed his things, and left with Ying Ba, returning to Xigu Kingdom.

After Ying Ba left the city, he set off with Lu Nian Ci.

"Young Master Lu, Yingba will not return to Xigu Kingdom with you. Yingba wants to return to the Yao Clan and secretly protect the safety of the princess."

Lu Nian took out a jade pendant and handed it to her, "This is my jade pendant. If you need help, go to Yipinxiang or Tiangxianglou to find someone to help. There are many of our people in the Ghost Saint Kingdom, let them give us news."

Yingba took the jade pendant and bowed to Lu Nian before riding away on his horse.

"Lu Ge, is this Shadow Eight really reliable"

Tao Su watched Yingba's departing figure, "This time Xiao Feng was taken away suddenly, I think we can speed up the process. Please ask the emperor of Xigu Kingdom to attack the Yao Clan, we must put an end to the Yao Clan's affairs."

"Let's go back first and make a decision later." Lu Nian had someone send a message to his parents via carrier pigeon, informing them of the matter. Xi'er had once told him about the relationship between the Lu family and the Yao clan, and he believed his parents would definitely know how to deal with the Yao clan.

"I'll stay with you."

He agreed to protect Xiao Feng, but unfortunately he couldn't. However, he will definitely bring Xiao Feng out of the Yao clan safely and sound.

Feng Ling woke up dazed and confused. She had no idea how long she had been asleep, or even if it was sleep at all. It felt like an endless blur until her eyes opened to the sight of a carriage and ropes binding her limbs. She was exhausted and hungry.

"Xiao Li."

Feng Lingxi shouted, struggling for a moment but unable to break free from the ropes. She looked at Xiao Li sitting across from her, a face identical to Xiao Li's, but lacking any of her charm. A pair of sharp eyes stared coldly at her.

"Xiao Li, why are you doing this to me"

Last night's weeping, that cry of "Wangfei," how much longing and pain it held. She thought Xiao Li had truly come to see her, but she never expected Xiao Li to come and abduct her.

"What does the Holy Lord mean by this This palace is doing everything to complete the task given to me by the Grand Elder. If the Holy Lord has any grievances, please return to the Yao Clan and speak to the Grand Elder directly." Xiao Li's attitude was completely different from last night. Feng Ling Xi looked at Xiao Li in front of her, her eyes filled with disappointment.

She trusted Xiaoli so much, but in the end, she betrayed her.

"Xiao Li, you're really something."

Feng Lingxi sneered coldly, "Was I too naive I actually thought you didn't blame me. Five years ago, it was true that I owed you an apology. It was my fault."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and fell silent.

She shouldn't have trusted Xiaoli. Now, she was bound here, unable to move. Xiaoli understood her, knew her weaknesses. She starved her, tied her up, leaving her powerless to struggle and escape.

"Lord, hiding Wan'er is useless; she will return to the Yao Clan."

Xiaoli opened her mouth, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. Her tone was still cold and sharp, "Our people are already searching for her. Even if you hide well, when she knows you are in danger, she won't ignore your safety. Just like your mother, when she knew you were in danger, she came out."

"What do you mean How did you catch my mother"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, with a bad feeling. Could Mother have let Xiao Li be taken back

“That’s exactly what you think. Do you really think how I became the Sacred Guardian Of course, it was by capturing your mother that I could become the Sacred Guardian. Don’t you think it naive that I would rather stay by your side as your little maid serving you Who in this world would be willing to be inferior and serve as a lowly maid”

"Xiao Li"

Feng Lingxi looked at her in disbelief. Her sharp eyes and imposing manner made her feel scared and unfamiliar. She couldn't believe this was the Xiao Li she knew. It was as if she had become a completely different person.

Were ancient people not known for their loyalty

My mother left Xiao Li by her side. Didn't she say that she would never betray her for the rest of her life

But what about now

Xiaoli betrayed her, and she also betrayed her mother.

"Lord, do you think I betrayed you and your mother Don't look at me like that. You know how lowly I lived before. Now, I can stand above you. How glorious it is!"

"Have I ever wronged you"

Humble

When did she ever mistreat her Ever since Feng Lingxi arrived in the Zheng world, she treated her like her own sister. She told her everything except for her true identity as someone from another world.

She knows how to do it, doesn't she Xiao Li wants to learn, she's willing to learn. Didn't she teach her

“People, indeed, are capable of change.”

Faced with Xiaoli's cold eyes, Feng Lingxi self-deprecatingly smiled, "Did I blind myself, thinking I was too noble"

Last night, she cried out, calling her "Your Highness." She thought she had truly returned, but never in her dreams did she imagine that Xiao Li would use her feelings for her to knock her unconscious and abduct her.

Feng Lingxi had never thought about being kidnapped by the Yao clan, but she never dreamed that it would be Xiao Li who took her, and that she would be knocked unconscious when she thought Xiao Li was still her own little sister, defenseless.

"The Lord is right in thinking this way. No one is born willing to be a lowly servant to others. In the Yao clan, as long as you are strong enough, not just the position of Sacred Protector, but even the position of Clan Chief, can be easily obtained. Most importantly, it depends on how you choose."g looked at Luo Qin Yi, his eyes like ice, as if he had returned to the time when he was executing a mission at Tianxiang Tower. They had agreed that she would play the role of his concubine here, but...
