Wan'er can walk now. She will return home before her first birthday to celebrate with her."Is Wan'er obedient"獨孤城’s voice choked with emotion, he longed to see his daughter, but never had the opport..."Indeed, she's involved. But rest assured, I won't harm her."
Luo Li's eyes were sincere, afraid that Dugu City wouldn't believe her, she raised her hand and swore to the sky, "I promise, I won't hurt her."
"I hope it's really as you say, and that she won't be hurt. She's already suffered enough."
Dugu Cheng's eyes were filled with sadness, "Xi'er is already very tired. I hope the Ghost Saint Kingdom Yao clan will not make things difficult for her again. She is just the Holy Master of the Yao clan here, please don't involve her in your plans."
"What's the plan"
Luo Li looked at Dugu City, "Our Ghost Saint Kingdom doesn't have any plans over there, we just want to confirm some things. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Both parties were reserved in their conversation. Dugu Cheng could tell that Luo Li was hiding something about the purpose of her visit. Although it involved He'er, she refused to explain. This Yao Clan residence here was better than his own home. Bringing a woman who looked exactly like Feng Yu Xi into the house… if he didn't think there was something impure going on, he wouldn't believe it.
"Well then, I won't ask anymore."
Luo Li let out a breath, Du Gu Cheng's reaction was still good, she was just afraid that Feng Ling Xi would bite on it.
Feng Lingxi sent Wan'er to Shutai Fei's courtyard and instructed, "Wan'er, besides your parents and grandma, if anyone else wants to take you away or hold you, you can't tell them anything, understand"
Waner nodded, seeming to understand but not fully. Feng Lingxi touched her head, his eyes full of worry.
Luo Li has arrived, and with him is a woman who resembles Feng Yu Xi during the evening rain. Although he claims she's his maid, she doesn't believe it. How could a maid coincidentally look so much like Feng Yu Xi Moreover, Huang Pu Qing Yun’s message said that Luo Li and Feng Yu Xi met before at the location reported by their informant, which was also in the Chao Xia dynasty.
A series of collisions, Feng Lingxi was truly unable to convince herself that Mo Bing wasn't Feng Yu Xi's new identity.
Lolí came here with ulterior motives. She didn't intend to take her to the Ghost Saint Kingdom as she previously said, but instead, she was after Wan'er.
Feng Lingxi was very worried, truly afraid that Luoli would take Wan'er away at any opportunity. She didn't even know where this ghost saint country was. If Wan'er were taken away, she wouldn't know where to find her. She was even more afraid they would do something harmful to Wan'er.
The more Feng Ling worried, the more panicked she became.
“Mother, Wan'er will stay here with you these days. Please keep an eye on her and don't let her run around. Luoli is back, he wants to take Wan'er as his disciple and bring her to Guisheng Kingdom. I refused, but I am worried…”
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "If Wan'er is taken away, I'm afraid we'll have difficulty even seeing her."
Upon hearing this, the Shutai Noblewoman's face changed drastically. She hurriedly said, "This concubine knows. These days, this concubine will personally take care of her and ensure nothing happens to her."
Feng Lingxi bowed and bid farewell, looking at Wan'er with eyes full of worry.
"Mother, you must definitely help me look after Wan'er this time. After I deal with Luoli, I will come and take care of Wan'er with you."
Seeing Feng Ling so worried, Shutai knew that Luoli this time would definitely not let Wan'er off. She comforted her, “Don’t worry, as long as your mother is alive, she will protect Wan'er.”
"Mother, thank you."
Feng Lingxi stroked Wan'er's small head, "I do hope Luoli this time can be as he said, more truthful, don't deceive me again."
Although worried, I couldn't change what was happening. On the second day after Luoli moved into the mansion, in the evening, a scream echoed from the county magistrate's office. When everyone arrived, Taifei Shu was found unconscious on the ground with blood on her forehead. Wan’er was missing, and no one else had died. All the maids and nurses present were knocked unconscious.
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng arrived just in time to see the unconscious wet nurse. Looking at the traces of fighting around them, they were so worried that tears welled up in their eyes.
"Nanny, who kidnapped Wan'er"
“What happened” Luo Li arrived shortly after, accompanied by Dugu City. Seeing the scene before them, Dugu City’s face suddenly changed, and he shouted fiercely, “Seal off the entire city, dig three feet into the ground if you have to, I want to find Wan'er!”
"Immediately order the Yao clan's people to investigate and find Wan'er at once."
Luo Li ordered in a dark voice, Mo Bing obeyed and retreated. The wet nurse gradually regained consciousness.
"My Queen, please save the Princess, a masked man has kidnapped her."
"Where did the man in black go"
Wind Lingxi hurriedly asked, the wet nurse pointed in the direction of the backyard, Wind Lingxi immediately got up and heard Dugu City and Luo Li said, “Xier, you stay here, I and Luo Li go to chase.”
Feng Ling hurriedly ordered someone to help Shu Taifei back to her room and quickly checked her wounds for treatment.
The wound on Shu Taifei's forehead was not serious, it should have been caused by a bump and abrasion. The injury on her arm was more noticeable, likely inflicted when she blocked the attacker, leaving a deep gash that exposed bone.
After tending to Shu Taifei's wounds, Xiaoli walked in, her expression grave.
"Your Majesty, our people haven't seen Wan’er. No one in the city has seen her either."
"If nobody saw him, how could he have abducted Wan'er and vanished straight from Linxi County"
Feng Lingxi was quite anxious, "Where is the King Have there been any news"
It's been half an hour now, and there are no leads at all. Feng Lingxi is truly afraid that Wan'er might be in danger.
Little Li shook her head, looking at the princess' anxious eyes, "Princess, I'm going to investigate. As soon as I have news, I will inform you."
"Okay."
Wind Ling Xi looked at the mother concubine who was still unconscious, her eyes full of worry. If the mother 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 appearing together, she would have suspected Luo Li was behind it. However, Luo Li had been with Dugu Cheng the whole time, he shouldn't be capable of such a thing.
"Hmm…"
Shutai's eyes opened, a slight furrow forming on her brow. She was awake now and spoke softly.
Feng Ling hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Mother concubine, you're awake."
Shutai's eyes slowly opened, and she looked at Feng Lingxi. Her gaze was dazed for a moment before she questioned in confusion, "What did you just call me"
"Mother Empress"
Feng Lingxi looked at her mother's suspicious eyes in disbelief. A sense of foreboding swept over her, causing her to hastily diagnose herself, her face as pale as paper.
"Young lady, who are you Why do you call me mother concubine Is 'mother concubine' my name"
“Don’t you remember anything at all I’m Xi’er, Feng Lingxi, your daughter-in-law.”
"Daughter-in-law, when did I have a son I…"
Shu Taifei pondered for a moment, her mind was blank, she couldn't remember anything. She reached out and touched her forehead, the pain on her forehead made her instinctively touch it again, wincing in pain, "How did I get hurt"
"Someone kidnapped Wan'er and hurt our mother. Mother, please think about it carefully."
Shu Taifei looked at Feng Lingxi's tear-filled eyes and thought carefully, but still shook her head.
"I'm so sorry, I can't remember anything. Also, who is Wan'er"t, we're actually very lucky. Luoli only wants you to go and kidnap Wan'er to threaten you, but there are many people whose children were taken away by human traffickers and their parents couldn't fin...
