ven a bit, and this made Feng Lingxi feel distressed just watching him."I suppose so, but going back wouldn't be easy, would it"Dugu City shook his head, "If souls could come and go freely, this matte..."Opportunity has arrived."

Dugu Cheng looked at Huangfu Qingyun, "Huanyue married Dugu Su and became the Su Wangfei."

Finally, Dugu Su couldn't hold back any longer and made his move.

Huangfu Qingyun's black eyes were deep, "What are your plans"

Since Huan Yue married Dugu Su, wouldn't Dugu City recognize Xi'er now

As soon as he thought of them recognizing each other, Huangfu Qingyun's eyes darkened. He was going to be separated from Xier again.

He didn't want to, but for Xi'er, he had to do it.

"Pretend you don't know, meet Xi’er first, act according to the plan, and continue to request an audience with the Saint Lord of Yao Clan. I want Xi’er and I to return to Beijing.” Dugu City was determined. Before the news reached him, the Empress Dowager and Dugu Su were certain that he would meet Feng Lingxi.

Huan Yue married to Dugu Su, how this will be conveyed, I'm afraid only the imperial court could know.

"Okay, I've got you covered."

Huangfu Qingyun's words touched Dugu City. Looking at the struggle in his eyes, he expressed his gratitude, "Brother Huangfu, thank you for all you've done for me."

"I do these things not for you, you needn't thank me."

He just didn't want Xier to be unhappy. Even though he couldn't get Xier's feelings, at least he could do something for her. That was better than just making verbal promises.

"If there's ever a disagreement between you and Xi'er, my words will always stand."

Huangpu Qingyun's eyes concealed pain. He truly wished for such a day, but thinking of Xi’er, he would rather endure the pain alone.

Feng Lingxi held the sleeping Waner, looked at Xiao Li who came to report, handed Waner to the nurse, and her originally gentle eyes instantly turned cold. "Are you sure"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Feng Lingxi tightened her fists, "It seems that Dugu Su's tail has come out."

"Lord, will you still see the King"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "Seen. However, postpone it for two days. Later, you'll go out with me."

Xiao Li responded and quickly tidied up. Feng Ling Xi ordered someone to protect Wan'er, and with Xiao Li, left the Prince's Mansion, riding their horses towards Linxi County.

Huangfu Qingyun returned to the Prince's Mansion and learned that Feng Lingxi had left. His handsome face was full of loss, but knowing she would be back, he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to see Wan'er.

Linxi County

Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi returned, learning that General Sun had been called away by Feng Lingxi. They inquired about it but learned nothing of their destination.

"My lord, this Sun Cheng is indeed loyal to the princess."

The news of the separation between the King and Queen was known to everyone, but Sun Cheng seemed completely unaffected. When the Queen called for him, he even concealed it and did not report, nor did he fear being punished by military law upon his return.

"It's good to have him following Xier. He's a promising talent."

Since Xi'er brought Sun Cheng under her wing, he has been very diligent and never disappointed Xi'er. He also never disappointed her.

It's reassuring to have him around.

"The Queen went out with Sun Cheng, doesn't the Prince want to know what she's going to do"

Ye Xi tentatively asked, "Why isn't the King worried at all"

"Xi'er knows her own limits when it comes to doing things."

Of course, he wanted to see Xier, but...

"My Lord, it seems your knowledge of the tenants' identities has grown quite rusty."

Mentioning this identity, Dugu City couldn't help but laugh. How could he have forgotten that this identity could still be used.

"Yexi, let's go."

"Your Highness, the front is here."

Xiaoli pointed at the village ahead. "Yingba is watching."

Feng Lingxi dismounted, her stunning face serious. Her sharp gaze swept across the surroundings before nodding at Xiaoli. Xiaoli then led the way with her troops, while Sun Cheng followed close behind Feng Lingxi. He had been summoned by the Princess, and Sun Cheng was so excited he couldn't speak. He immediately came without a word.

Sun Cheng has 100% trust and gratitude for Feng Ling Xi. In this life, if it weren't for Feng Ling Xi, how could he have achieved such a brilliant career

Along the treeline, they crept silently into the enemy camp. Feng Lingxi had observed the surroundings earlier; it was all forest. According to Yingba's intel, there were no ambushes here, and due to its secluded location, there weren't many people stationed there.

Feng Lingxi didn't expect that Yingba discovered this place because there was an explosion here. She investigated and found that the sound was similar to the explosives mentioned by the princess before. That's why Feng Lingxi came here in person.

The recipe for explosives was her own creation. Since the Scarlet Robbers were eradicated, no explosives had appeared again. Now someone was telling her there were explosives here, so Feng Lingxi came to investigate.

Sun Cheng is the person who understands explosives best, both their fabrication and development process. He was personally brought out by Feng Lingxi. This time, if it's really explosives, we'll have to trouble Sun Cheng to find out the identity of the user and thoroughly investigate this matter.

A group of people approached. Yingba leapt down, landing beside Feng Lingxi and whispered a few words in her ear. Feng Lingxi nodded, signaling for action.

Wearing black face masks, Feng Lingxi and others swiftly launched an attack, killing the guards in seconds and infiltrating the camp.

Witnessing bodies falling one after another, Feng Lingxi remained unfazed. Her expression was cold, her eyes sharp, and her movements ruthless, showing no fear whatsoever.

After descending the mountain, her hands were already stained with blood, accustomed to life and death.

The people in the camp were quickly driven away, and soon the Yao tribe's people took their place. Feng Lingxi and others entered the camp, sniffing the sulfurous smell in the air. Feng Lingxi pulled down her face veil, her eyes turning cold.

"General Sun, please check if this matches our gunpowder formula."

Sun Cheng responded and went to count, along with several of his trusted aides who followed him to help.

Feng Lingxi surveyed the surrounding area, confirming the amount of explosives in the camp. Besides finished products, there were also a large quantity of saltpeter. This large-scale munitions depot, once filled to capacity, would have disastrous consequences if war broke out.

"Your Highness, the inventory is complete. There are five hundred sets of gunpowder, not too much in number, and the formulas are consistent."

Wind Lingxi heard this sum of money, her face darkened.

"I just came from a small river. I went to get water and destroyed all this gunpowder."

Feng Lingxi reminded, "Remember to be careful."

Sun Cheng responded, and the Yao people helped. With Sun Cheng leading the way, the danger level was reduced significantly. It took an hour to clean up all the gunpowder. Feng Lingxi destroyed the gunpowder and then demolished the entire site before leading everyone away. They also had someone keep watch over the area to catch the mastermind behind this.

Before they arrived, people had been interrogated. These individuals were tough and refused to reveal the identity of the person behind this. That's precisely why they chose to clear the place directly this time.

"Your Highness, these explosives, this subordinate will definitely investigate and find out who leaked them." A year had passed, and seeing these things again felt both familiar and deadly.

Feng Lingxi nodded, she believed it had nothing to do with Sun Cheng. Such an accident had happened once before, and now it was happening again. What was impossible Besides, if it weren't for her research, such a powerful explosion wouldn't have occurred.

At the end of the day, this is all her fault.

"Sun Cheng, how many soldiers were there who manufactured gunpowder I want to see them." looking like a coquettish little woman."Doctor Li, I have something I want to talk to you about."Li Wuyan glanced at Feng Lingxi, “It’s going to take a while. I need to finish brewing her medicine fi...
