Chapter 1577: Glass Purple Star 116
s also received the Emperor's decree, so all unimportant matters should be put aside for now, including my mother's assassination and my abduction.Feng Lingxi's words made Feng Aotien swallow the word..."I really underestimated her."
Luo Li hooked her lips, a cold glint appeared in her eyes, "Isn't this what we want to see If she's still not awake by now, then we truly have no hope."
“So, should we try harder and give her more information”
"Yao Wan'ying has everything she needs right beside her. We don't need to interfere, she'll naturally tell Feng Lingxi. Let's just wait for her to come to us. Also, you can help me investigate Feng Yu Xi sometime and have her come see me."
When mentioning Fengyu Xi, Luo Li's eyes suddenly flashed with killing intent. Li Wu Yan responded soothingly, "Don't get agitated, it's all over now."
"Ayan, when you marry in the future, don't ever choose a woman like this. She will ruin your whole life."
"I'll do whatever you say. You control your emotions and don't get angry."
Luo Li adjusted her emotions, not letting herself get angry. Li Wu Yan had spent so much effort saving her these years, and he hadn't married yet because of her. She couldn't let Li Wu Yan worry.
"I've got this under control, don't worry."
Li Wuyan hummed in response, his gaze towards Luo Li becoming more complicated. He hoped that this matter concerning the Yao clan could be resolved quickly; two years should be enough time.
Dugu Cheng had made an appointment with Luo Li to meet at a wine house. Seeing Feng Ling Xi and Dugu Cheng appear together, Luo Li's eyes showed surprise, but she didn't say anything. She greeted them to take their seats, ordered dishes, and poured them water.
"Looks like Crown Prince and Crown Princess are back on good terms, congratulations."
Luo Li smiled and spoke, being stared at by Feng Ling Xi like this, she wasn't happy at all.
"The chieftain truly has sharp eyes. It seems he already knew about our reconciliation before we even announced it. In that case, there's no need for us to keep it a secret." Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City and held his hand. The two of them smiled at each other, squeezing each other's hands tightly.
Isn't that all you want, to see them make up Then let him see it.
"Luo brother, today the King and Xi'er wanted to ask you something."
Dugu Cheng watched Luoli stare at their clasped hands, a doting look on his face as he looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xier, tell us."
"Princess Consort, I remember you as a woman who loves and hates boldly. How did you reconcile with Prince Chen If I'm not mistaken, you once said that if he betrayed you, you would leave him. Wasn't that right"
“The chieftain really has a good memory. I was almost forgetting about it, but you actually remember. However, what you said is not wrong. I did say that, but back then, when the prince drove me away, he only did so to protect my safety. Didn't the chieftain participate in this as well Now, are you trying to cause trouble and prevent us from getting back together Are you trying to break us apart”
"Xi'er is not like that, actually..."
Li Wuyan was eager to answer Luo Li, but Luo Li interrupted him. "This matter, I do know about it, and I participated in it. However, I am just curious, these past five years the Princess Consort of Chen lived in Xi Gu Guo, giving birth to two children, and then secluded herself for five years without ever coming out. Does King Chen really believe that she had nothing to do with any other men in the past"
Feng Ling Xi heard Luo Li's words and suddenly found it funny.
"What are you laughing at"
“He thinks you don't understand her.”
Dugu Cheng said faintly, looking at Feng Lingxi, "I know what kind of person Xier is better than you. If she were so easy to fall in love with someone, this king wouldn't have been hurt by her leaving."
To get straight to the point, Chieftain, your wisdom is renowned. I'm sure you know why I've come to see you today
Luo Li frowned, "If you don't say anything, how would I know"
Feng Lingxi stared at Luo Li's eyes and asked, "Do you know about the Yao Clan blood sacrifice"
"Blood sacrifice"
Luo Li frowned, looking at Feng Ling Xi's eyes filled with coldness. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips.
"What blood sacrifice I don't understand."
“Chief, is the way to open the sacred treasury of the Yao clan through a blood sacrifice Sending my daughter Wan'er as a sacrifice, this so-called successor to the chieftain is nothing more than waiting for her to grow to ten weeks old and making her a sacrificial offering to the Yao clan to open the treasure.”
"What are you talking about"
Luo Li still refuses to admit it, Feng Ling Xi clenches her fist tightly. If she hadn't known the truth, she would have truly felt like she was wrong.
“The Yao people don't have the blood sacrifices you mentioned. Elder Yao chose your daughter, Wan'er, because she was chosen by the heavens during a prayer ceremony at the sacred altar. She is the future of the Yao people, that’s why we nurture her so much and send her to become the tribe leader.”
Luo Li's explanation made Feng Ling Xi sneer repeatedly, "Then I ask you, what holy artifact did my mother steal from the Yao Clan that they have been chasing her for so many years"
"Feng Lingxi, although you are the Holy Lord of the Yao clan, your mother stole the treasure, so you have no right to know what it is"
Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort and chuckled, "Indeed, my mother stole treasures. As the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan, I am nothing but a pawn in your game. The so-called Holy Lord is merely because I gave birth to Wan'er. Because Wan'er is the crucial sacrifice you need, from the beginning, you have been laying out plans, all for me to foolishly do things for you, to make me trust you, and then send my daughter Wan'er to the Yao Clan."
Looking at the fallen leaves, Feng Lingxi continued, "As long as you keep me in the dark, capture my mother, and kill her to silence her, I will never know the truth. Then, I will believe that my Wan'er has always been the leader of the Yao tribe, and she wasn't taken by them as a sacrifice."
Luo Li reached out to touch Feng Ling Xi's forehead, "You don't have a fever, how did you come up with these Who told you these things"
"Who told me is important"
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Luo Li, I know you are Wan'er's master. These years while I wasn't by Wan'er's side, you watched her grow up. I just hope you tell me, is my Wan'er a sacrifice of the Yao clan"
"No."
Luoli didn't even think about it, looking at Fenglingxi with a sneer, her face full of impatience, "I told you, and you don't believe me. Why do you ask me"
"Then I ask you, where is Qiu'er"
Loli tightened her grip on the cup, her knuckles white with tension.
“Qiu’er stole a sheepskin scroll from the Yao tribe, and inside it are the secrets of their rituals. Luo Li, I don't believe you, the chief, know nothing about this. Feng Lingxi owes you nothing. I just want to live a normal life. If it weren't for your scheming, I wouldn't be involved in the Yao tribe's affairs. I wouldn't have cared about their business at all.”
Feng Lingxi stared at Lu Li. He remained silent, but when he heard the name Qiu'er, his expression changed. It was clear that he knew how Qiu'er had died.
"Did Qiu'er steal the sheepskin scroll and it end up in your hands"
Luo Li lifted her eyes and stared at Feng Ling Xi, her gaze cold.
"Yes, I took it, but I've destroyed this parchment." concubine woke up, perhaps she could know who did this.Luo Li was about to leave with his Empress Dowager when suddenly, a group of black-clad men kidnapped Wan'er. If not for Luo Li and Dugu Cheng a...
