t have rushed over. They were even bringing along A Man, who would definitely go to the cliff as soon as he returned to look for his mother. Hopefully, she would run into trouble and be found by the...Just keep quiet.

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look and leaned against Dugu City's leg, "No matter how many there are, we'll follow you. You deal with all this trash. It's better not to know about it, so we don't have to worry and can get a good night's sleep."

"Can you sleep"

Luo Li looked at her dismissive expression, "You say that with your mouth, but you still want to know how many waves of people want to assassinate you"

Feng Lingxi heard this, stood up, and looked at Luo Li. Her eyes were almost on fire.

"You... " are such a pain.

Dugu Cheng comforted, "Xi'er, don't worry, Lord Luo will handle it cleanly. Get a good night's sleep."

Feng Lingxi lay down, looking at Dugu City's cold expression, "Tell me when I wake up."

"Okay."

Looking at her closed eyes, Dugu City's hand rested on her body, giving her a sense of security.

"The love between the Fourth Princess and the Fourth Prince is truly enviable. However, those who tried to assassinate you must not be jealous of your relationship, but rather jealous that you married her."

"I suspect jealousy of the King isn't their only motivation"

Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, his black eyes deep. "They want to ruin Xi'er,"

Luoli glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Being with her, the things you'll experience in the future definitely won't be just this. She is destined to be extraordinary."

My woman, I will protect her.

He disliked Luo Li very much. When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Xi'er. As a man, he knew the look in Luo Li's eyes when he looked at Xi'er - it was like looking at prey, a possessive gaze that made him very uncomfortable.

"May you be able to protect her."

Luo Li sipped her tea, holding it to her lips. She stared intently at Feng Ling Xi without looking away. This kind of direct gaze made Dugu Cheng frown, making him even more suspicious of Luo Li's identity and appearance.

Perhaps it was because Luo Li's protection was meticulous. They weren't harassed at all that day and were very safe along the way. By evening, their lodging was also arranged. Feng Ling Xi could be said to have slept soundly the whole way. When night fell, she couldn't sleep.

Just like yesterday, after the group had finished their meal, they all went back to their rooms to rest. Feng Lingxi couldn't sleep, so she started tinkering with her medicine, planning to write a few more prescriptions and then give them to Yu Mo next time for him to use for protection.

Dugu City and Luo Li seemed to have a lot to talk about, although they didn't drink as much as last night, the smell of alcohol was still quite strong on them.

Back in the room, I saw Xi'er writing a prescription. I walked over and put my cloak on her.

"Are you done talking"

"We were talking about assassins. As for you, why aren't you sleeping this late What are you writing here"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "Write a prescription, anyway, can't sleep."

獨孤城 sat beside her, looking at the prescription she had written. The effect, dosage, and method of administration were all clearly stated.

"For Yu Mo"

Feng Ling Xi responded and continued writing her own words, "When we return to the capital after finding our mother, Yu Mo will be alone in Linxi County. I want to leave him something for self-defense. On the battlefield, there will always be bumps and bruises, injuries when…"

"If Yu Mo knew you cared for him this much, he'd definitely work hard and become a great general for you."

Wind Lingxi smiled, "Yu Mo is still young. Now I don't ask him to achieve fame and fortune. I only hope he can have more opportunities for training and learn well from General Li and the others, becoming more steady."

"Yu Mo is very intelligent and steady. Rest assured, he will become a general."

Feng Lingxi responded with a soft voice, her eyes filled with tenderness as she mentioned Feng Yu Mo. She looked at the prescription she had written, "I hope Yu Mo can grow up strong."

They are all neglected children, she has to be strong, and Yumo needs to improve as well.

"Rest assured, with a sister like you, Yumo will surely be strong."

Feng Lingxi smiled at Dugu Cheng, "You should go to sleep early. I'm still writing, I'll be asleep soon."

She slept too long during the day, so she didn't feel sleepy.

Dugu City grasped her hand, it was good, not cold.

Then you write for a while and go to sleep, or this king will punish you.

With a doting tap on her nose, he saw her nod and got up to go to sleep.

By the time we reached several inns, I got some hot water for Xi'er to bathe in. This place is too rudimentary; I'm afraid she'll catch a cold.

Feng Lingxi finished writing just as midnight arrived. Fortunately, Dugu City hadn't noticed and had already fallen asleep. After what felt like a short while, she woke up.

Just as the sky was brightening, Dugu Cheng and his companions got up. After finishing their breakfast, they continued on their journey.

Because of the weather, the journey each day was much slower than usual. What put Feng Lingxi's mind at ease was that Luo Li cleared the obstacles. Although they spent more time on the road, they didn't encounter any assassins.

Only the fallen know how many assassins appeared along this path.

Dugu Cheng asked Luoli several times who appeared, but Luoli just smiled and didn't tell him who it was. Dugu Cheng learned from Yuesu that there were three groups of people secretly following them, but none of them succeeded. However, it was basically certain that Dugu Xiu and Yu Xi were among them. As for the others, Yuesu couldn't find out either, with Yaozu being a strong possibility.

Ten days had passed, and the closer they got to the north, the harsher the weather became. It was almost always a snowstorm, with the mountain path covered in snow. On top of having to watch out for assassins, one also had to be careful of avalanches, landslides, and other dangers.

Sometimes when the snow falls heavily, they are unable to walk and can only find a place to rest for a day until the snow melts a little before daring to continue their journey.

However, fortunately, Luo Li always sends people to scout the way each time, making sure it's safe to travel before departing. This has reduced a lot of trouble.

Half a month had passed, but they had only covered a little more than half the journey. A heavy snowstorm began, making it impossible to continue traveling. The group was forced to take shelter in an inn again, which turned out to be nothing more than a farmhouse. It was bitterly cold, and everyone longed to stay huddled in their beds all day long.

"Such a heavy snowfall, I wonder where the Lord is."

A-Man looked at Feng Lingxi standing at the door watching the snow, his eyes full of worry.

Feng Lingxi's eyes dimmed upon hearing this.

Yes, such a big wind and snowstorm. I don't know where mother is or if she's safe. I hope she has somewhere to shelter from the storm and a place to build a fire like I do.

Her eyes were misty. Feng Lingxi raised her head to look at the sky, snowflakes falling all over the place. Even though she was bundled up, she felt cold, but her mother didn't seem to know how to handle herself.

"Aman, stop talking."

Xiaoli noticed the moisture in the Queen's eyes and quickly gave Aman a wink. Although the Queen usually didn't mention the Sacred Lord, she kept the Sacred Lord's safety in her heart. These days, she traveled tirelessly through wind and snow, enduring freezing hands and feet without complaint. Xiaoli had seen it all.

"Xiaoli, it's alright."

Feng Lingxi turned around and looked at the clothes on A Man's body. They were a little thin.

"Xiaoli, give my cloak to Aman. She's just recovering from her injuries, don't let her catch a cold."

"Thank you for your kindness, holy maiden. Aman is unharmed and feels no cold. Please take care of your own health." With that said, Aman turned and went back into the house.think it over carefully."Dugu Cheng patted him on the shoulder, and Huangfu Qingyun sat there, lost in thought."Have a drink with me"Dugu Cheng poured him a cup of wine, watching Huangpu Qingyun's fac...
