Chapter 294: Seize Power 49

eror and Empress wish to see you. However, everyone they sent was killed by the clan leader."Xiao Li came in to report that the two queens have been staying here, and there are always people wanting t..."You didn't see the guards coming from behind. At a glance, you can tell they are well-trained inner court experts. They want to find an opportunity to get the Purple Star. How could it be so easy"

Grandpa Hao, standing beside Yao Feifei, reminded her, glancing around, "Eat quickly and leave early. It's not safe to stay here for long."

Yao Feifei was much calmer. Because of Zixing's appearance, she had lost her previous frantic look.

Feng Lingxi came out of the wine shop and was brought back to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as she arrived, she saw Huangfu Qingyun rushing back. She pulled Feng Lingxi over and carefully examined her, making sure she was unharmed before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, Miss Lin is fine."

Li Nuo bowed respectfully and, seeing the prince's anxious expression, quickly explained that he had received orders to rush over immediately and was fortunate that Miss Lin was unharmed.

"Li Nuo, from today onwards, Xi'er's safety is entrusted to you."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I cannot comply. As your personal guard, my duty is to ensure your safety only."

Li Nuo glanced at Feng Lingxi and refused without hesitation. Huangfu Qingyun's handsome face darkened, just about to get angry, when Xiao Li spoke up, "Miss, I can protect her safety. Your Highness, please rest assured."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at Xiǎolǐ, her eyes narrowed slightly, “Are you sure”

"Your Highness, I have something to report to you."

Feng Lingxi saw the exchange of glances between Xiaoli and Huangfu Qingyun, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, have I done something wrong"

Huangfu Qingyun saw the self-blame in Feng Lingxi's eyes and hurriedly said, "No, I need to check on those people I met today. Let Xiaoli tell me about the situation. I'll have Li Nuo send you back to rest, and I'll come see you later."

"Miss Lin, this way please."

Feng Lingxi looked at them, then lowered her head and left.

"Come on, what's going on today Why did we almost come to blows"

"Your Highness, these people today are all traitors from the Yao Clan. This servant heard them say they wanted to find Zi Xing, and when Miss was there, she accidentally showed Zi Xing. This servant is unsure if they saw it, this servant thinks that in the future, going out should be more careful."

It's still best to go out less.

Seeing her worried expression, Huangfu Qingyun spoke, “You needn't worry about this matter. This palace will send someone to investigate the origins of these people. After getting rid of them, Xi'er will be able to come and go freely.”

Xiaoli suddenly knelt down. Huangfu Qingyun looked at her action, his brows furrowed. Seeing Xiaoli speak, "Your Highness, the servant has a request."

"You said."

Xiaoli took out the necklace from her bosom and handed it to Huangfu Qingyun. Looking at the necklace, Huangfu Qingyun's expression was somewhat surprised, "How did Zixing end up with you."

"This was given to me by the Princess before she lost her memory. This is fake, I want to lure the snake out of its hole and hope that Your Highness will cooperate with me, work together to catch them. I cannot let them threaten the safety of the Princess."

She has already put the princess in danger once, there cannot be a second time.

Huangfu Qingyun took the fake Zi Xing and looked at it for a moment, then carefully said, "You should stand up first. While the tactic of 'luring the snake out of its hole' is effective, if you haven't figured out the purpose behind it, even if you catch a few of them, wouldn't the others behind it still escape In the end, the crisis wouldn't be resolved, and Yu'er would become even more dangerous."

Xiao Li raised her head, her eyes full of self-blame. "Your Highness is thoughtful, the servant girl is ashamed."

“Come on, it’s not your fault. I understand you're worried about Xi’er's safety. As you said, since those people came for Zixing, there must be another conspiracy behind this. Zixing is a holy relic of the Yao clan. Even if they return to the Yao clan with Zixing, it will be useless as traitors. But if it's used as a bargaining chip with someone else...”

Xiaoli was astonished. She never thought of that!

"Does the Crown Prince mean they will team up with others to seize the Purple Star and take the Yao Clan's treasure"

Huangpu Qingyun nodded, “Obtain the treasures of the Deyao clan, and you can unify the world. You wouldn't know that”

"Does the Crown Prince think so too"

Xiao Li asked about her confusion, and Huangfu Qingyun smiled faintly, saying, "If Hu Xia wanted the Yao Clan's treasure, she would have gotten it decades ago. She wouldn't wait until now. You first take care of Xi'er, this palace will enter the palace to see the emperor."

Xiao Li rose and bowed to Huangfu Qingyun, "This servant takes her leave."

Huangfu Qingyun watched her retreating figure and suddenly called out, "Wait a moment."

Xiao Li turned and looked at Huangfu Qingyun as he ran over, her eyes filled with confusion. "Your Highness, what is your command"

"This palace wants to ask you, is there a way to contact the Yao Clan"

Xiao Li's eyes immediately became guarded, "Your Highness, no."

"Then go."

Huangfu Qingyun saw from her eyes that Xiao Li was deliberately hiding something, but, come to think of it, if his one-sided words could make her tell him how to contact the Yao Clan, she wouldn't be worthy of being a member of the Yao Clan.

Xiaoli returned to her room. Thinking back on what Huangfu Qingyun had just asked her, her heart skipped a beat. She had some trust in him before, but now, after his words, it was completely gone. It seemed she still had to find a way to locate her fellow Yao clan members and inform them that a traitor had appeared within their ranks. They needed to come and take care of the princess, finding a way to safely remove her from this place.

"Miss, your servant has returned."

Xiaoli pushed open the door and saw the Princess sitting at the table, lost in thought. She quickly stepped forward, Feng Lingxi raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, which startled Xiaoli, "Miss, what's wrong with you Who made you cry"

"Xiao Li, am I really as stupid as that woman said"

"Miss, how could you have such an idea You've just lost your memory and become naive. You don't know anything about everything that's happening. This isn't stupidity, please don't listen to that woman's nonsense."

Seeing tears welling up in the Queen's eyes, Xiaoli quickly soothed her. She had never seen the Queen cry before. Now, having lost her memory, she was shedding tears over this matter. Xiaoli watched her with growing concern.

"Little Li, don't lie to me."

"I swear I'm not lying, miss is clever. Don't believe me Let me prove it to you."

Feng Ling Xi wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, looking at Xiao Li's earnest expression, "How do you prove it"

"I'll teach you how to make these pills. If you can learn, it means you're not stupid, right"

"Why is it said that if you learn to make pills, you won't be stupid"

Feng Lingxi's eyes were dazed, but she felt a surge of interest. She liked medicine, even if it meant fainting from it, she enjoyed it.

"Brewing medicine takes time and is complex; a foolish person could not learn it."

Xiaoli's words made Feng Lingxi even more excited, "Okay, then teach me quickly."

"Then I'll go get the medicine, and in a bit, I'll teach you."

Xiaoli turned around, Feng Lingxi hurriedly followed, "I want to go with you too."

A figure jumped down from their rooftop, watching their departing backs before quickly disappearing.i leaned in close to Feng Yu Mo's ear and whispered.
