Chapter 722: Yao's Rebellion 92

heng felt restless.Feng Lingxi handed him the handkerchief, "If you like it, then take it. I was planning to find a chance to tell you, but I didn't expect him to reveal his identity so quickly. Dugu...When she asked about Feng Yixuan, Feng Lingxi could feel the suppressed emotion she had been carrying since yesterday. Seeing Feng Lingxi looking at her, Bi Shang's eyes flickered, and she said, "If you can't say it, just don't."

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi looked at her and replied very succinctly. She thought she would see pain in her eyes, but she didn't see the grief of losing a loved one. She just nodded, her eyes as flat as if Feng Yixuan were a stranger.

"You don't seem sad."

"I know you've given him every chance to live, but he didn't cherish them. Before, he was my brother, but ever since you saved me, I am no longer Feng Lingyu, but arsenic, a dead person. Someone who has already seen through life and death."

Bi Xiang's expression remained bland throughout, revealing no hint of emotion.

Feng Lingxi suddenly understood what she had experienced in the past six months, which had led to her current state of mind.

"You might think it's cruel of me to kill Feng Yixuan, but you should understand that I won't let someone who repeatedly tries to kill me live, no matter who they are. My patience has its limits."

Bi Shuang let out a hum, glanced at Feng Ling Xi, then fell silent.

The carriage was still moving, the sun shining brightly along the way. The spring breeze of February caressed her face, it was very comfortable. Feng Lingxi squinted and dozed off, she hadn't slept well last night. Regarding arsenic, her attitude was clear, and so was her heart.

In the afternoon, as the carriage traveled along the mountain road, it began to jolt and bump, making Feng Lingxi feel nauseous. She leaned back to try and sleep it off, but suddenly a neigh echoed through the air. The carriage shook even more violently. Startled, the horse reared, causing Feng Lingxi to lurch backward and hit her head hard against the carriage roof. Combined with the discomfort of the bumpy ride, Feng Lingxi's head began to spin.

"Protect the Queen!"

Xiao Li shouted and hurriedly protected Feng Ling Xi behind her. They heard a commotion outside. Feng Ling Xi lifted the curtain and heard Du Gu Cheng's voice, "Xi'er, don't come out!"

The voice was extremely cold, and his body instinctively leaned towards the carriage. In the darkness, arrows whizzed towards them. Dugu City and the others drew their swords to block them, clashing with a cacophony of sounds. Feng Lingxi inside the carriage wanted to go out, but Xiao Li shielded her behind him.

"Xi'er, be careful!"

獨孤城大聲喊道，耳邊傳來嗖的一聲，小璃反應過來，連忙抱著王妃跳下馬車，馬車上方，一道黑衣人舉劍將馬車劈倒，馬兒受驚，狂奔起來。 Dugūchéng shouted loudly. A whooshing sound came from beside his ear, and Xiaolì reacted instantly, hurriedly hugging the princess and jumping out of the carriage. Above the carriage, a figure in black raised their sword and chopped down on it, startling the horse, which galloped away frantically.

"Xier, wake up quickly."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. Feng Ling Xi watched as the carriage was taken away by the startled horses, and quickly said, "The arsenic is still in the carriage, hurry and save her."

The departing people hurried over, fourteen or fifteen leaping to Feng Lingxi’s side, “Holy Lord, are you alright”

"Fourteen, fifteen, quickly go and stop the carriage."

Feng Lingxi urged, the two quickly chased up, Feng Lingxi watched as the man in black fled rapidly, their people were unharmed.

"The Fourth King is not well, the Sixth King was taken by them."

"They came to save Dugu Xiu"

Dugu Cheng's handsome face fell. "This king underestimated Dugu Xiu."

"Your Highness, the carriage has stopped, but there is no one inside."

Feng Ling's face changed abruptly, and she rushed forward to check. There were no signs of a fight inside the carriage, nor around it.

"Lord, when we arrived, the people in the carriage were gone."

Dugu Cheng stepped forward and inspected the scene. "Xi'er, the carriage didn't travel too far. Judging by how startled the horse was just now, it's impossible for them to have stopped here. Moreover, there are no signs of a fight nearby. Dugu Xiu was rescued, and the arsenic is gone. This king suspects they are in cahoots."

"You're saying that arsenic planned all this"

Seeing Dugucheng nod, Feng Lingxi clenched her fist. She wouldn't be so unlucky, those she saved were all white-eyed wolves.

"Xier, this matter has nothing to do with you."

“Your Highness, when the Master said this, I also felt it was strange. When there were assassins outside, she just sat there, not afraid at all, just as calm as before. You see, even when Your Majesty shouted, she didn't move an inch. Thinking about it now, she must have known.”

What was her reason for doing this

Feng Lingxi was so angry. When she saved her, she didn't even say thank you, at least don't treat her like this!

"Your Highness, it is probably related to Feng Yi Xuan."

獨孤城看著兮兒氣得臉都青了，安慰她，“兮兒，現在說什麼都冇用了，獨孤修被救走了，肯定不會回京城，這件事必須儘快通知朝廷。”

"Come over here."

Luo Li shouted loudly. Feng Ling Xi and Dugu Cheng hurried over. Luo Li stood in front of the black-clothed man's corpse, clutching a waist card in her hand, and handed it to Dugu Cheng. Looking at the words on the token, Dugu Cheng's face darkened.

"Dugu Yu teamed up with him."

Feng Lingxi looked at the token, her expression complex. Duguxiu still said they would cooperate with them, and then turned around and cooperated with Duguxiu.

“It wasn't Du Guyu, if it were you, would you bring the token of the mastermind with you when sending people to rescue someone This is clearly a frame-up, someone deliberately directed this matter to Du Guyu, provoking a conflict between me and Du Guyu.”

This waist token is real.

Luo Li reminded, "When you return to the capital, investigate it and you'll know."

Dugu City nodded, put away the waist card, and looked at the corpse of the man in black on the ground, "Check each one carefully to see if there are any clues"

"Master, is Sixth Prince still chasing after you"

Du Gu Cheng retracted his gaze, “There’s no need. Since they came prepared, they wouldn’t let us catch up to them. Let’s return to the capital first. They were able to abduct Du Gu Xiu here, there must be others of theirs nearby.”

The carriage was no longer usable. Everyone rode on horseback to the nearest resting point. After stopping, Dugu Cheng sent a pigeon letter back to the capital to inform Dugu Yan of the news that Dugu Xiu had been kidnapped, and he also specially relayed a message to Dugu Yu, saying that someone impersonated him and kidnapped Dugu Xiu.

Thus, if it really was him, he would surely be prepared. If it wasn't him, Dugu Yu would definitely try to clear his name. He wouldn't be foolish enough to raise suspicion from Dugu Yan. For him, the situation would reverse, becoming unfavorable.

Feng Lingxi was gloomy all the way. The betrayal of Pi Shuang really chilled her to the bone. She had saved her so much, and in the end, she still betrayed her.

"Xiao Li, send more people. I need to find out where the arsenic is. Since she saved Du Gu Xiu, she must have revealed her whereabouts. I need to know if she's reunited with him." Feng Ling Xi's eyes turned cold. She didn't believe she couldn't track her down. I have to trouble you.""Five King Wángdū Fēng, hasn't he been missing for a long time"Feng Yixuan was reviewing the documents. They contained details about Dugu Feng's childhood, including the people...
