Chapter 623: Conspiracy 109

ot angry.""What a fool."Feng Linglong secretly cursed, things hadn't even fallen through yet, she dared to speak like this in front of the emperor. She deserved it.Feng Lingxi, seeing Feng Linglong li...General Sun listened to the Wangye and his wife's words, his mind was in a daze. He hadn't died yet, how could they analyze him as if he were already dead

"If it's as you say, why is it only Dugu Xiu Couldn't it be someone else"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, the expression beneath her beautiful eyes as cold as frost.

"You're talking about Dugu Yu"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "He's very likely. Don't forget, he knows you like the back of his hand."

Du Gu Cheng pondered for a moment, "This king feels that Du Gu Xiu wouldn't be so generous as to tell Du Gu Yu this secret. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, this is common sense. Even if the two were to cooperate, with such a secret weapon, how could they share it Du Gu Xiu couldn't possibly guarantee he would definitely win against Du Gu Yu."

Wind Lingxi frowned, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like it was true.

"Let's just assume Dugu Xiu fixed it, then what do we do next"

獨孤城看著孫將軍身上的傷勢，“他的傷勢如何？” Do you need me to translate the rest of your text

General Sun, seeing the topic return to himself, quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I am unharmed and can set off at any time."

Feng Ling reached out and punched Sun General in the chest. Sun General was so pained that his face turned pale, his legs couldn't stand steady, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"With one punch from me, you'd be like this. Who gave you the courage to act so fearless"

General Sun hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

“I can't leave for now. General Sun, you should rest well. We’re both going back to Linxi County by carriage anyway. We can return together when the time comes.”

After explaining everything to Dugu City, Feng Lingxi said, "Your Majesty needs to inform the County of Linxi so as not to be tricked."

"What if the message is misunderstood It might be better to give it to Ye Xi. When he gets to Linxi County, he'll know what to do."

Dugu Cheng replied, "Don't wander around. I'll be right back."

Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng leave, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, she wasn't holding it against her for waking up early.

"Your Highness, I couldn't quite understand what you and the King just said. Could you please clarify"

General Sun hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Your Highness has always treated her subordinates equally and with kindness. There's no reason why I shouldn't ask."

"General Sun, haven't you figured it out yet They want to capture you alive and bring you back to the capital. They want your secrets, the ones related to the princess."

Xiao Li reminded, General Sun's eyes widened when he heard about the princess, "Oh, I... I still don't understand."

Feng Lingxi was amused by his exaggerated expression.

Do you remember what I told you

General Sun nodded vigorously, his expression grave as he said, "Every word the Princess has told me, I have kept in my heart."

"Didn't I tell you to keep something confidential"

General Sun suddenly realized, "Princess Consort, you mean..."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "That's right."

General Sun gasped, now he understood why they had summoned him back to the capital. He had always been puzzled, but now it was clear - they wanted to capture him and use him to make explosives.

These people are too gloomy.

"General Sun, take good care of your wounds. When you're healed, we will return to Linxi County together. Remember, after this, you are to obey only my orders, not anyone else's, including Du Gu City."

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this The King..."

Feng Lingxi frowned, talking to General Sun, a veteran warrior, was really tiring.

"The princess means that she's afraid something like this will happen again, afraid someone will use the prince's name to put you in danger. You don't understand any of this after following the princess for so long." Little Li really couldn't stand General Sun's lack of intelligence and explained on behalf of the princess.

General Sun scratched his head sheepishly, "Miss Xiaoli, this general is just a soldier, not very bright. You put it like that, and this general will remember."

Wind Ling smiled, "Rest well, I'm going for a walk."

Xiao Li helped General Sun lie down, "Rest well, call me if anything happens."

The princess's safety is paramount, and General Sun's location should be safe as well. There shouldn't be anyone here who would harm him.

Feng Lingxi stood at the door, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, her eyes full of worry.

They had just left the capital and began plotting again.

This Dugu Xiu is truly restless. She shouldn't have researched explosives in the first place, now she's being watched and can't defend herself.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please put this on."

Xiao Li draped the fox fur cloak over the princess's shoulders and, seeing her worried face, comforted her, "Your Highness, only General Sun's team knows how to make gunpowder. Now that it's destroyed, there's nothing to worry about."

Feng Lingxi sighed, "Xiao Li, do you think I'm asking for trouble I shouldn't have thought of these extreme weapons in the first place. Now I have to worry about leaks."

"Your Highness, I believe we should investigate who leaked the information about the explosives. It was discovered before, and now again. Don't you find it strange, Your Highness"

As long as the method of making explosives is not leaked, it's not a big problem.

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes drooped, "I'll go find Luoli, you stay here and watch General Sun."

"Your Highness, Little Li cannot leave you. The King is away, and your safety…"

"Little Li, this is a farm, and besides, I am always on guard. If there are assassins, I can handle them."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and went to Luo Li's room. They were both in the same courtyard, so even if there was an assassin, just yelling would alert everyone. Xiaoli's worry, she understood, but if they could be assassinated here, then she really had nothing more to say.

"Get all of these ready and put them all in the carriage."

"Parting."

Feng Lingxi walked past, looking at Luo Li who was busy packing up, her eyes full of confusion.

"What are you doing"

As soon as Luo Li saw her, he quickly said, "These are made by the old ladies in the farmhouse. They're placed on the carriage to keep warm. I told them to put these in the carriage."

Wind Ling looked at the thick cushion, "It can't be moved. Carrying it onto the carriage would increase the weight and make it overweight."

Luo Li frowned slightly, and instructed them, "All come down."

"I came to ask you, have you noticed anyone following you these past two days"

"No, with this weather, who would want to go out."

Luo Li brushed the snowflakes off her body, her handsome eyebrows slightly raised. "Have you found out the identity of the assassin"

Wind Lingxi shook her head, “Not yet. I just wanted to set off soon and was curious to ask.”

"Let's see how it goes these two days. If not, I'll figure something out."

Wind Lingxi nodded, looking at the group of people around Luoli, "These are yours"

There were about ten people, dressed in plain clothes. If it weren't for the aura they concealed, Feng Lingxi would have really thought they were just villagers.

Lüo Lǐ nodded, not hiding her meaning at all. "Let them come here to help. Isn't there game appearing in this back mountain Let them hunt something for us, so we don't have to eat only vegetables every day."

Feng Lingxi looked at them, "They are all protecting you"

Luo Li raised her head and looked at her, "What do you mean by that" source of the poison, Feng Yu Xi found her and told her the truth, Li Wu Yan took advantage of her sleep to give her the poison, and her memories came flooding back.Pashguli went down the mountain an...
