Chapter 626 Conspiracy 112

e wouldn’t kill me and his offspring for a woman.”Feng Yu Mo clenched his fists, hearing this, his sister still believed in Dugu City.He was really jealous of Dugu City. Why was everything like this E..."I didn't see anyone come out, Your Highness. How did you faint Weren't you speaking with the shopkeeper"

Feng Lingxi supported her forehead, her mind a bit muddled.

Xiao Li hurried forward to support her, her eyes full of worry, "Your Highness, are you alright"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, reached out to take her own pulse, confirming there were no signs of poisoning, and faintly said, "Let's go."

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened Why..."

"Does Dugu City know about today's events"

Xiao Li shook her head. "Your Highness and Gongzi Lu were having a good time drinking, they just asked where the Madam was. The servant didn't dare to tell Your Highness, so she said that you had returned to your room to rest."

"Don't tell him I saw the shopkeeper. I'll tell you about it later."

Xiao Li watched the Princess leave and hurriedly chased after her, following her back to her room.

Feng Lingxi held the pouch and looked at it for a long time, hesitated for a while, but still did not open it.

The shopkeeper said that if one day she didn't know what to choose, she opened the pouch, thought about it, and decided to put the pouch away.

Xiaoli looked at the sachet in the queen's hand, her face full of curiosity.

However, the princess didn't say anything, and she didn't want to ask too much.

Duke Gucheng returned very late, and chatted with Luoli for an entire night. Back in his room, Xiao Li had already helped the princess to bed. Seeing the king return, she quickly paid her respects.

"My Lord, the Lady has fallen asleep."

Dugu Cheng gestured for her to step back, then tiptoed inside. She glanced at Xi'er, feeling guilty. She shouldn't have left Xi'er and Luoli to drink alone, leaving her to guard an empty boudoir.

Feng Lingxi had a dream this night, a dream where she was separated from Dugu Cheng. In the end, she woke up from the nightmare, already after dawn. Looking at Dugu Cheng lying beside her, she reached out and gently caressed her chest, trying her best to calm herself down.

As soon as she got up and walked out, Xiaoli was already waiting at the door of the room. Upon seeing the princess wake up, she hurried forward to attend to her.

"Quiet, don't wake him up."

Xiao Li nodded. "Just now, someone from Lord Lu's side sent over a bowl of sobering soup, saying it was for the King."

Feng Lingxi shook her head helplessly, "He's willing to do it, but Luo Li didn't get up"

"Not yet."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the white snow on the roof of the inn, thinking of something, she hurriedly asked, "Have you seen the shopkeeper"

Xiao Li shook her head, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “When I went down just now, the shop assistant told me that after the princess woke up, she asked you to go over there once, saying that there was something for you.”

Feng Ling xi went downstairs, and the small shopkeeper saw her come down. He hurried forward and greeted her very politely.

"Xiao'er, Xiaoli said you have something to give me"

The second boy hurriedly accompanied him with a smile and said, "Madam, it's our shopkeeper who wants me to give this to you."

The young waiter ran over, carrying a box. On top of the box was a letter. Feng Lingxi looked at the young waiter in confusion. The young waiter just smiled sheepishly and looked back at her.

Feng Lingxi opened the letter. Inside, there was only one sentence: I'm leaving. The inn sends its regards. May we meet again someday.

"Your Majesty, the shopkeeper has given you the inn"

Xiaoli looked at the words above, her mouth agape in surprise.

Feng Lingxi opened the chest and looked at the silver notes inside. There were over ten thousand taels of silver, as well as a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry.

"She's willing to."

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes drooped. She had worked hard in this world for seven years, and she gave all the money she saved to him. Does she not feel heartbroken

"Waiter, how many waiters are there in this inn"

"Your Highness, the innkeeper only has three people: the cook and another helper. Altogether there are nine people. The previous owner said that with her added to the staff, it would be a perfect ten."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "Understood, go busy."

The second boy hesitated for a moment and asked, “Your Highness, will you stay here from now on”

Knowing her identity, the shop assistant was trembling with fear, deeply afraid of offending her.

"I will leave, but I will make arrangements for you all before I go. Rest assured."

Just then, the boy retreated. Feng Lingxi looked at the letter in her hand, she didn't expect that making money would be so easy.

Feng Lingxi put the box away and gave it to Xiaoli, "Take it, this is her heartfelt gift."

Xiao Li clutched the large box brimming with gold, silver, and jewels, her mouth watering. More than that, she was puzzled.

The princess and the innkeeper had only chatted for a while last night, and he actually gave the inn to the princess. She really couldn't understand the reason behind it.

"Your Highness, why did this shopkeeper give the inn to you, and these jewels She left, why didn't she take them"

"Wealth is an external possession. As far as she's concerned, what can't be taken away, leave it to me. It's because she thinks I can use it."

Feng Lingxi watched the wind and snow start again outside, her thoughts drifting far away.

"Your Highness, how should I explain this sum of money to the King"

To tell you the truth, if he asks, it is me he will ask.

As Feng Lingxi said, when Dugu City woke up and saw Xiaoli carrying a box in, he casually asked a question, but Xiaoli's answer almost scared him off the bed. He hurriedly got up and went to find Feng Lingxi.

"Xier."

Feng Lingxi sat in the second-floor private room of the inn. The waiter had prepared many snacks for her, quite like a proprietress's demeanor.

"There's no washing up, this bowl of hangover soup is prepared by Li for you. Drink it and then have breakfast."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the hangover soup in front of him and reminded,

Dugu Cheng looked at the pastries on the table and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Li just said that the innkeeper gave you a box of gold, silver, and jewels. He..."

She's a woman, an old friend of my master. She said she wanted to travel the world just like my master, so she gave me the inn and all the money she'd saved over the years.

Feng Lingxi's explanation left Du Gucheng with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your master"

After Xi'er recovered from her illness, she did mention to others that she had a master in the martial world. However, after her marriage, she never spoke of him again, and he didn't even know who her master was.

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, "Thinking about it, she's my senior sister."

"A woman"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Dugu City's strange gaze, "Could it be that you think the shopkeeper is male"

Dugu Cheng awkwardly smiled, looking at Xi'er's serious expression. She didn't look like she was lying at all.

"My concern is that with this sudden influx of money, I want to check things over."

"We had a good time drinking with Luoli last night, didn't we"

Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu Cheng restless, and he subconsciously glanced at Xi'er's expression, as if she was angry.

"Xier, this king was wrong. I won't drink with Luoli next time. Forgive this king, alright"

"Well, well, look who it is. The Grand Prince begging for mercy this early in the morning. It's truly an eye-opener to see that even the Fourth Grand Prince fears his wife."

Luo Li walked over with a smile, as warm and gentle as jade from the past.

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "Sharp teeth and a sharp tongue. It seems you didn't drink much last night, unlike him, who slept soundly."

When Dugu Cheng was told this by Feng Ling, he thought of Xi'er and got up without realizing it. To be honest, he had drunk too much.

Luo Li's smile froze slightly on her face as she looked at Dugu City beside her, her brow furrowed.

"Fourth King, don't you explain" him like this, if he stopped his sister, and something really happened, he would be very uneasy inside.Feng Ling Xi responded and followed, entering the room. Dugu City sat there, Ye Xi pouring him w...
