Chapter 1091: Ghost Saint Country 52

孤城見風淩兮這般，連忙問，風淩兮將天山雪蓮放回了箱子裡，眼神變得冰冷。"Dugu Yu really wouldn't spare a bit of loss."Dugu City looked at the powder in the box, reaching out to touch it, but was stopped by Feng Lingxi, "Don't touch it, i..."With her treating you like this, you're still going to collect her body"

Xiao Li found it a bit hard to watch, and after asking, Feng Ling Xi stopped her, signaling Xiao Li not to speak out of turn.

Regardless of what this Qing He does, she is still Zhang You's wife and the mother of his children.

"You follow me to the palace."

Zhang You hurriedly thanked her and followed Feng Lingxi to the prince's mansion. Zhang Chan followed along as well.

The entrance of the manor was bustling with activity. There were quite a few matchmakers leading dainty young ladies around the gate, The steward who managed the registration of new arrivals upon seeing Feng Lingxi return, hurried up and walked towards her.

"The old slave greets the Princess."

Feng Lingxi swept over those women, "They were all girls chosen by Shu Taifei for the Wangye"

The butler's brow was slick with cold sweat as he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Wind Ling Xi only glanced and, with Zhang You and others in tow, entered the mansion. The steward saw that the princess hadn't said anything and immediately urged those people, "Go back." This princess had returned, so what use was registration

Feng Lingxi, after entering the room, instructed someone to bring Zhang Yu to identify Qing He's body. When Zhang Yu opened the coffin at the original location of the body, he found it empty. He immediately asked, "Your Highness, where is Qing He"

Feng Lingxi frowned, turned to look at the person standing at the door, "Has anyone come"

"My subordinates have been guarding this place constantly, and no one has ever entered."

Feng Lingxi walked in and carefully examined the area around the coffin. There were no footprints or anything else.

The body seemed to have vanished from the coffin as if by magic. Could someone have deliberately stolen Qing He's remains

What use is there in stealing a corpse Or could it be that Qing He has someone backing her up

"Zhang You, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Will you stay at the mansion and wait for the answer, or go back first"

Zhang You's face was pale. "The villain's house is quite a distance from here. I'll go to the market and find a place to wait for news of the princess."

"Xiao Li, you arrange accommodations for the two of them."

Xiaoli responded, but Zhang You didn't show any intention of leaving.

"Your Highness, is Qing He truly dead"

This person just vanished without a trace, it's really hard to explain.

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I'm sure she died then and there. After biting her tongue to commit suicide, I checked on her myself."

Wind Ling's voice had just fallen when she suddenly thought of something, her eyes flashing a cold light. Could it be so strange

If biting one's tongue to commit suicide is just a pretense, Qing He isn't truly dead, but faking her death, then everything behind this...

Feng Lingxi thought, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

"I'm not comfortable with you staying at an inn. You should stay at our house."

Feng Lingxi instructed, "Xiao Li, tell them that they are here to seek refuge under my disciples. Don't reveal that he is Qing He's husband to the outside world."

Zhang You opened his mouth, but swallowed it back. Heeding Feng Lingxi's meaning, he responded and followed Xiao Li down.

"Zhang Chan."

Feng Ling Xi turned around, Zhang Chan hurriedly accompanied with a smile, "What does the Fourth Royal Princess command"

"This Zhao Da Lao offered Qing He as collateral for a debt, can you tell me how Qing He escaped"

Chen Chan hastily said, “Your Highness, everything I said is the truth. I haven’t lied to you. This Qing He really ran away. I haven’t deceived you.”

Wind Lingxi soothed, "Don't panic, I mean no harm. I just want to ask about Qing He's escape that day. I suspect she faked her death."

"Feign death"

Chen Can was startled by Feng Lingxi's words. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod, he hurriedly said, "The villain remembers that Zhao Laoda had a big gamble that time, borrowing five taels of silver. He lost, and then borrowed another five taels of silver, and lost again. The shopkeeper asked him to repay the money, so he said there was a beautiful adopted daughter who could be taken to settle the debt. The villain led people to catch Qinghe, she was frightened when she saw us, and we took her to the kiln. The deed of sale was signed, and when we were leaving, she suddenly jumped down from the second floor and ran away. The villain chased after her with his men, and then what the princess knows happened."

"Jump from the second floor"

Given how high she jumped, Qinghe didn't seem to be hurt at all

"Can she kung fu"

"Shouldn't be, but it's got legs now, runs really fast, wore us all out."

Zhang Can still remembered Qing He quite well, almost catching up to her.

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes and jumped from the second floor without a scratch. She even managed to shake off those chasing after her. It's clear that this Qing He is truly something special.

"You worked hard today."

Feng Lingxi took out a silver ingot as payment, and Chen Chan hurriedly thanked her before leaving the mansion.

"Mother, Wan'er is hungry."

Waner's soft voice came, Feng Lingxi glanced at the room, holding Waner out.

"Mother will bring you something to eat. In the afternoon, I'll have Xiao Li accompany you. Mother has some things to take care of."

Wan'er nodded and didn't pester her.

"Your Highness, the Dowager Empress has ordered that the kitchen is not to prepare your meals."

The kitchen cook’s eyes were full of fear. She didn't want to, but the Imperial Noble Consort had said that anyone who prepared meals for the Princess would have their monthly pay deducted.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and work. I'll handle this myself."

Feng Lingxi gently put Wan'er down and glanced at the basket of ingredients. "Wan'er, is there anything you want to eat Mama will cook for you."

"Mother, Wan'er wants to eat chicken legs."

Wind Lingxi walked to the chicken coop in Jilong and caught a chicken. She slaughtered it quickly and efficiently, completing the task in one go. The chefs watching by the side were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had ever seen the Princess cook, and also the first time they knew she could cook.

In less than half an hour, the meal was ready. Feng Lingxi carried the dishes and left the kitchen with Wan'er. She didn't want to have them cook for her, so she did it herself. Feng Lingxi didn't want to argue with Shu Taifei either, after all, she didn't have the energy to argue with her right now.

This Qinghe's death is truly strange. If it really is a fake death, then who is behind it Why would they make Qinghe feign death, and what is their purpose

She had to get to the bottom of things; there was more to it than met the eye.

"Mother, will you have to cook all your meals from now on"

Wan'er ate the drumstick, looking at her mother's pensive face, her voice very aggrieved.

Feng Ling Xi touched her head, "Did your mother make it unpalatable"

"Delicious."

"Then eat more, Grandma won't let us eat. Mother will make Wan'er her own meal, whatever she wants to eat."

"Does your mother have money"

Wan'er asked, looking at the chicken leg in her bowl and then at her mother's bowl of greens. She handed the chicken leg to Feng Lingxi, that gesture warmed Feng Lingxi's heart.

Of course, Mother is richer than your father. Don't worry, my dear Wan'er, just listen to Mother, and Mother won't be afraid of anything.

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er's well-behaved appearance, and an idea popped into her mind.

"Your Highness, I just heard that the Imperial Dowager Empress won't let the kitchen prepare food for you"

"I just made some for Wan'er, and I have yours too. Come over and eat together."

Feng Lingxi beckoned Xiao Li to sit down, but Xiao Li had no appetite at all. "Why We're not eating her food, why wouldn't she let the kitchen make something for the princess"

She's just trying to make things difficult for me. Now she's going out of her way to find women for Dugu City, all because she wants to exclude me. If I argue with her, wouldn't that be exactly what she wants It's not worth it. Besides, I have something important to do right now and no time to fight with her.

>elplessness, he didn't say a word. Who was stronger didn't matter to him. Even if he was stronger, he still had to take the knife. Luo Li, on the other hand, didn't."There's another good show tomorrow...
