ily noble.Dugu Cheng heard that she was going to the General's Mansion, thinking of what she said to Feng Aotian when she left the palace, I'm afraid this time she went to the General's Mansion, if sh..."Your Highness, a letter from the King."

Xiao Li walked in with a letter, watching the Queen sitting by the candlelight, flipping through books, her eyes full of worry.

Feng Lingxi heard the letter from Dugu City, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

He said he was coming to see us.

Feng Lingxi handed the letter to Xiaoli, "And Ye Xi oh."

A flush appeared instantly on Xiao Li's face, "Your Highness, we haven't finished our business yet, isn't this inappropriate"

"With nothing to do in Beijing, and having finished matters in Xixi County, he wanted to go for a walk. What's wrong with that"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, "What's wrong Don't you want to see Yexi"

Seeing Xiao Li's stammering expression, Feng Lingxi smiled.

"It's nothing, if you don't like it, when he comes, I won't let him in, it's not difficult..."

"The princess is not."

Xiao Li clenched her fists, her pretty face flushed red, "I just don't know what to say to him."

"Then just pretend nothing happened. Do whatever you want. You two are both people of the Jianghu, there shouldn't be so many restrictions."

Xiaoli listened and nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance."

Now she knows how to face Ye Xi. That fellow should have been frightened by her attitude this period of time, right

"Your Highness, there has been no progress in the investigation of this madam's fall from the cliff. The Yao Clan is now deeply puzzled by your inquiry into this matter. All sorts of rumors are circulating. If we continue like this, I fear it will cause widespread panic among the people."

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. If they're truly afraid, they should reflect on what they did when my mother fell off the cliff." All she'd done these days was to frighten them, to expose their true selves.

Although what I said makes sense, these days, whenever they see me, they avert their eyes and hurry away, as if afraid of being asked questions.

Feng Lingxi frowned slightly, "Find them when you have time and talk to them. Ask them about my mother."

Xiao Li nodded, looking at the piles of account books stacked beside the Queen.

"Your Highness, you even checked this"

“Anyway, I have nothing to do. It's good to learn more about the situation within the clan. As the head of the family, one naturally needs to know how much wealth they possess. The Yao Clan has endured for millennia and has always guarded this deep mountain. Therefore, the Yao Clan's treasures are not here. It's natural to be curious.”

"The treasure isn't here"

Xiao Li looked at the princess in surprise. Seeing her nod, she became even more puzzled.

"Wouldn't that be..."

"It's probably not that simple."

It's just a nice way of putting things. The so-called "Sacred Lord" of the Yao clan is nothing more than a scapegoat. They want someone to take the blame for them. The people here live their lives in isolation, untouched by the outside world and its wars. It's like a hidden kingdom.

She is now curious about the Yao clan of Guisheng Kingdom, the clan where Luo Li is from. The elders and Luo Li there are the real power.

"My Queen, what about that lady Has she noticed anything"

"It should be so. Think about the people in black behind your mother, how well they protect her. And why does she have so much protection Also, why is she always afraid of being found"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "It seems it really is as my mother said, that Luo Li and I are enemies. And when Luo Li left, didn't she also say to me that she never wanted to see me again If we ever meet again, she would have to take me to the Ghost Saint Nation"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Could it be that the chieftain was a pawn of the Ghost Saint Kingdom He came here originally to oppose us, but later became kind to the queen, so..."

Before Xiaoli could finish her words, Yao Song's voice came from outside, "Holy Lord, Tao Song requests an audience."

Come in.

Feng Lingxi winked at Xiaoli, who stepped aside. Watching Yao Song walk in, she saw he was holding a ledger.

"My Lord, this is the distribution of all property belonging to the Yao Bi Mansion. All wealth has been distributed according to Your Lordship's wishes. The specific amounts are recorded here. Please take a look, My Lord."

Feng Lingxi flipped through it, finding that the records on the surface were very detailed. This Yao Song really put a lot of thought into this.

"The Third Elder certainly is meticulous in his work."

Feng Lingxi put down the ledger, “There’s one more thing I need to ask the three elders for help with.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Song hastily said, "Master Saint, please command."

Feng Lingxi pushed the information she had organized to Yao Song. "Recently, I sorted through the accounts of the Yao Clan, as well as records of my mother's deeds. I found some things that don't seem right, and I want to ask you about them."

"Lord, speak."

Yao Song was undeterred. These days, he had also heard that the current Pope had been investigating the previous Pope's affairs. Now that she mentioned it herself, he didn't dare to neglect it.

"After my mother returned, she handled one thing, which angered the entire clan, leading to their discontent. I want to know what it was that made them so resentful of her, even to the point of wanting to kill her"

"This…"

Yao Song hesitated for a moment, looking at Feng Ling Xi's slightly narrowed eyes, and said in a deep voice, "As for this matter, even my subordinates are not very clear about the specifics. At first, the previous Saint Lord returned to the clan because some elders had ideas about seizing power. Afterwards, I don't know how things developed that led to the previous Saint Lord falling off the cliff. At that time, my subordinates were just an unknown person, and these matters concerning the elders were naturally beyond our reach."

"That's true."

Feng Lingxi frowned, Yao Song seeing this, added, “Afterward, I also investigated the matter, but upon inquiry, it seems unwise to probe too deeply.”

"Three Elders, what do you mean by this"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, watching Yao Song bring this up, the image that flashed in her mind was most likely Luo Li.

This matter is related to the chieftain. The record of the revered master was written into the annals at the chieftain's command. Afterward, his subordinates never reviewed it again, and this matter has since been never mentioned by anyone in the Yao clan.

According to the Third Elder's words, I'm afraid if I continue investigating, I won't find out anything more.

Yao Song hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

"Why is the chief hiding the truth about my mother's fall"

Perhaps to protect the reputation of the Yao clan, after all, usurping the throne is not glorious, and forcing the previous saint sovereign to death. If this matter spreads throughout the world, it will surely cause the Yao clan to lose face in front of everyone.

Wind Ling Xi furrowed her brows, indeed so. If the people of the world truly knew that the Yao Clan's members had fought amongst themselves for the position of Holy Master, even pushing the Holy Master off a cliff, how would the world view the Yao Clan

However, why are the records within the Yao Clan still like this And Yao Song mentioned Luoli several times. Plus, all the results of her investigation these days have been related to Luoli. Combined with what her mother told her, everything points to Luoli.

"My Lord, I suggest that we cease this investigation. I understand Your Lordship wishes to uncover the truth, but continuing could incite discord within the Yao Clan. After all, it involves the clan leader."ng feared that the Crown Prince would harm me, so I stayed in Liangzhou."When Dugu Yu said this, his eyes were completely unreserved, clear and honest, which made Feng Lingxi a little surprised. She b...
