Chapter 836: Falling Frost Flower 26

for Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan then spoke."Xier, how did you suddenly disappear that night Are you hiding from me because you have something difficult to say Is it because the Emperor betrothed you to the..."No."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Luo Li, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Brother Luo, why don't you tell Xi'er It's best for her to know."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, "Do you know about Huanghou Qingyun's recent situation"

He wouldn't let me tell you, I promised him I couldn't say.

Feng Lingxi angrily got up, Luoli called her back.

"Where to, such impulsiveness Do you think you can freely enter and leave the capital now"

Luo Li's tone turned sharp, "You believe it or not, the moment you step out of the city, I'll have to collect your body for you."

Feng Ling Xi heard Luo Li's words, her eyes full of disbelief. Could the situation outside have become so dangerous now

Don't doubt his words, look around now, no one is not looking for you. Everyone knows that you are in the Yuan Dynasty, as long as you step out of the capital, people from all over the world who want your life will swarm out. You are afraid that once you go out, you really won't be able to come back.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City. Even he said so, how hateful was he

Why kill me.

The news of the Yao clan's treasure has spread throughout the world. Everyone knows that as long as you are caught, you can get the Yao clan's treasure. So, do you understand what I mean" After speaking, Luo Li continued, "You personally promised the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty that the Yao clan's treasure would be given to the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty has a strong army and ample supplies. If the Yao clan's treasure is really given to the Yuan Dynasty, it means that the Yuan Dynasty's troops will attack the world and achieve the grand ambition of unifying the world."

Luoli looked at Feng Lingxi, "Do you know how terrifying your actions were back then"

“I promised Empress Cen, but the treasure never reached the Yuan Dynasty. Besides, this was only a promise I made to Empress Cen, how could it be known by everyone…”

Feng Lingxi's expression changed suddenly as she said this, looking at Luo Li and nodding towards her. Her narrowed eyes made Feng Lingxi a little flustered.

It was her who told it.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, seeing her nod. It was as if she had been struck by lightning. She had never considered this before, but now that Luo Li spoke, she realized how ridiculous her former arrogance and swagger were.

She thought that as long as she made Cen Taihou believe she would give her the Yao clan's treasure, she could survive in the Great Yuan Dynasty and protect herself and the people she wanted to protect. However, she didn't know that Cen Taihou had actually sold this news, causing everyone in the world to come after her.

This would mean she had to remain in the Yuan Dynasty, under Empress Cen's watchful eye, and gradually lose her position. This would force her to rely solely on Empress Cen as an ally, leaving her with no other support system.

If she refused, there was no need for Empress Cen to take action. People from all over the world who wanted to kill her could tear her to shreds. What a cruel tactic.

Feng Lingxi closed her eyes, she was wrong, she had been wrong all along.

She is not suited for a leisurely life, nor is she fit to lower her head and submit.

"Doesn't the Lord understand now"

"Come on, leave," he said, watching Feng Lingxi's sleeping form.

“After traveling the world, I've returned to find that the court's situation hasn't changed at all. Your actions haven't expanded its influence in any meaningful way. All you've done is inflate the situation, solidify Empress Cen's position, and allowed those who once wronged you to live comfortably under your nose. In fact, you've even lost the arrogant capital you once possessed.”

The reprimand was so sharp and cutting it was hard to breathe, but Feng Lingxi needed such a rebuke. Only then did she realize that during this time, she had truly wasted her life.

"Do you feel like I'm being too blunt, that my words have hurt you I just want to tell you, ever since you became the Holy Master, some of the things you've been doing in secret have attracted attention. And what you call 'secret operations' have all been exposed."

His parting words pierced her heart like a dagger, the pain almost suffocating.

Feng Ling Xi's words died in her throat, unable to utter a single one. She looked at the bloodshot eyes of Luo Li, "Do you know how chaotic and bloody it has been outside these past few months The announcement of the Yao Clan treasure's existence has thrown the world into turmoil."

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi's misty eyes, wanting to comfort her but didn't speak.

Because of you, Huangfu Qingyun led troops out to war, wanting to make those small countries who coveted the Yao clan's treasure give up their thoughts. However, because of this, the people of the Aoxiang Dynasty were deeply disappointed in him and forced him to sever his so-called sibling relationship with you.

Luo Li's words were sharp, Feng Ling opened her mouth, her eyes scanning the surroundings. At some point, all the guests at Tian Xiang Lou had left. Now only a few of them remained in the vast Tian Xiang Lou.

Feng Lingxi slumped onto the stool, Luo Li's reprimand letting her know the havoc this so-called treasure had wrought upon the world and the immense suffering it had brought to those around her.

In the sweltering summer, Princess Hua Xia was unwilling to go to war with neighboring countries. She knew best that it would be a disastrous outcome for everyone. Yet, she ultimately took action, and not just any action – she did so for her own sake.

Feng Ling Xi had never thought of herself as a beauty who brought disaster, until now, at this very moment. She loathed herself, feeling that she was truly disgusting and deeply disappointing.

A precious saying was offered to Empress Cen, believing it would ensure her and her loved ones' safety. However, unbeknownst to her, it ended up harming even more people.

Luoli looked at Feng Lingxi's current appearance, knowing that her words were heavy, but she had to make her aware of the current situation.

The Yao people's situation is not as stable as you see. Remember the death of Yao Chu

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I've been looking into it, but I haven't found anything."

There will be no results.

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes, her gaze confused, "Why"

"Because the Yao people won't answer you."

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, "You mean someone inside the Yao clan secretly executed Yao Chu, and this person managed to keep it from me"

Luoli nodded, Feng Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. Luoli gave her a glance and said, "You wouldn't think this person is me"

Feng Lingxi remained silent, and Luo Li felt like she was moving a stone to hit her own foot.

"Luo Li, why didn't you tell me sooner The deal with Empress Cen would cause so much trouble. If you had told me, I would have known and stopped myself from telling her. I would have found another way." Feng Ling Xi remained silent for a long time before speaking, "You know that I know very little about the Yao clan. I did everything according to my own thoughts."

After a pause, Feng Lingxi continued, "I thought that by bringing Empress Cen in this way, I could give myself more time. As long as the treasure wasn't found, nothing would happen."

She truly didn't understand the Yao people, nor the thoughts of all under heaven. Only now did she realize how foolish she had been, how much of a mistake it was to allow them to grow unchecked.

When the storm gathers at dusk, Lan Fei's growth has nothing to do with her. Why should she help Cen Taihou balance the relationship between Feng Yu Xi and Lan Fei It was her fault. She treated herself as a saint.

"I never expected things to evolve into this situation. The Yao Clan treasure is now something that everyone in the world is going crazy for."oked at her mother's red-rimmed eyes, angrily bit her lip, her gaze filled with anger and unwillingness."Xier, let's just drop this. We're all family, and if this gets out, it'll make a laughingstock...
