they began work. Feng Lingxi taught the soldiers how to find sulfur stones and let them load the carts, trying to bring back all the sulfur stones nearby.Feng Lingxi was leading Xiao Li to inspect th...Dugu Cheng looked at Huangfu Qingyun's distressed eyes, unconsciously tightening his grip on Feng Lingxi's hand and nodding towards her. Feng Lingxi thought Dugu Cheng was jealous, reaching out to pat his back and smiling, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. Xi'er will take care of herself."

This title made Huangfu Qingyun's eyes dim. The bitterness hidden deep in his eyes was unseen by anyone, only he knew that every time Xi’er called him "brother," although he smiled on the surface, his heart ached like bleeding.

He wanted to protect her, but could only do so in this way.

That word, he kept it hidden in the deepest recesses of his heart. He dared not speak it, nor touch upon it, let alone reveal it. He could only let Xi'er know that he was her elder brother, even though it was the Emperor's wish. This was already the best way for him and Xi'er to interact when they met.

"I know that Dugu City will take good care of you, but don't be willful either."

Feng Lingxi, listening to Huangpu Qingyun's instructions, quickly put a bun in his bowl. "Eldest Brother, I understand, I won't be willful. Don't talk so much, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law."

Huangfu Qingyun's expression stiffened. Looking at Feng Lingxi's bright smile, he forced out a smile, "Of course."

How could his heart possibly accommodate another woman She didn't know, but he did.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Feng Lingxi lowered her head to eat breakfast, the atmosphere made her very uncomfortable.

"My Queen."

Xiao Li shouted, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly put down her chopsticks, got up and said to them, "You eat, I'll go out for a bit."

Looking at her almost fleeing speed, Huangfu Qingyun retracted his gaze and said to Dugu City, "Has Xi'er told you both"

"I still need to ask Brother Luo."

Dugu City looked at Luo Li. As soon as he said this, Luo Li choked and coughed violently. Feng Ling Xi didn't say anything. How dare he bring it up During this time, Feng Ling Xi's temper, he had truly experienced it. He really didn't want to argue with her, let alone quarrel with her.

"It's your marriage, you two need to work it out yourselves. I can't help you with that."

After Luo Li finished speaking, she grabbed a steamed bun and glanced at Feng Ling Xi's departing back. “I’ll go find Feng Yu Mo first and see about his eyes.”

Luoli must know about Xi'er.

Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at Dúgūchéng, "Xī'er still has some resistance towards me. You should pay more attention to her yourself."

"Xier cried while she was sleeping last night. Before dawn, she cried again in her sleep. This king thought she had woken up, but no, her heart was deeply suppressed. This king doesn't know if she often cries like this at night."

Mentioning this, Dugu City thought of Xi'er's eyes being red from crying in the morning. His heart ached with pain, and he really wanted to ask her what had happened, making her so repressed inside, even dreaming like this.

Perhaps this is what she kept hidden in her heart.

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Dugucheng, "Let's observe tonight."

Dugu City nodded. He thought the same way, and moreover, he needed to meet Yao Shu.

Perhaps he could tell him something.

Feng Lingxi came out, and Xiaoli hurriedly whispered in her ear. Seeing the surprise in the princess's eyes, she said, "What my servant said is true."

"It's a good thing that Xiaomi and Yu Mo get along, she shouldn't hurt Yu Mo."

Feng Lingxi didn't expect Xiao Li to take an interest in Tian Xiaomi, the girl from the same place as her. It seemed her actions had been quite noticeable.

It seems she needs to remind Tian Xiaom, at least to dispel the misunderstanding about her.

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

“How could the princess know she wouldn’t harm Young Master Yu Mo She’s sticking to him every day now. What if…”

Xiao Li paused, watching the princess's steps stop. She asked, "Princess, how come I feel like you have a special feeling for Tian Xiao Mi"

Feng Lingxi's expression changed slightly, she quickly gathered her emotions and said with a smile, "I talked to her, I think she's very special."

"If the Princess trusts her this much, then she must be a good girl. Perhaps I'm overthinking things."

Xiao Li glanced at the Princess. It was really strange. Why would the Princess trust Tian Xiao Mi so much Since the Princess recovered, this was the first time she had seen the Princess treat someone like this. She seemed to know Tian Xiao Mi very well.

"Come on, let's go see Yu Mo's eyes."

Feng Lingxi spoke softly, her voice like the wind. Xiaoli chased after her steps. Just as they stepped out of the courtyard, they heard Luoli calling out to them from behind.

"Fourth Princess, wait."

Luo Li strode towards her, meeting Feng Ling Xi's gaze. Looking into his gentle eyes, she suddenly felt a little out of place. This time he was different, his eyes held a tenderness that wasn't there before. Perhaps it was the afterglow, but she found herself liking it very much.

"Let's go together."

Luo Li pointed ahead, "Didn't we say we were going to take a look at your brother's eyes Let's go together. I don't know the way."

Feng Lingxi responded and continued walking forward. Luoli watched her back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she was also confused. She didn't know why her attitude was so good today

"Fourth Princess, where is Yao Shu imprisoned I want to go see him."

When Feng Lingxi mentioned Yao Shu, her steps stopped abruptly. She glanced at Luo Li, her eyes visibly turning cold.

"I'll take Yu Mo to see the doctor for his eyes later, and I want to go with you as well."

Luoli's reaction to Feng Lingxi's change in attitude puzzled her, but she understood. This wasn't Yaozu, so there was no need for her to hide her emotions like before.

"It's clear you're very happy to be back. I have to say, I'm quite envious of the bond you share with the Fourth Prince..."

Whispers of farewell reached her ears, but Feng Lingxi seemed to have not heard them. She ignored his words entirely, not even furrowing her brow as she continued walking forward. Only when she arrived at Feng Yumuo's courtyard did she speak, "Clan Leader, please."

Luo Li watched Feng Ling Xi walk into the courtyard and followed her.

"Feather Ink brother, do your eyes feel any better"

As soon as the two of them reached the door, they heard Tian Xiaomi's voice accompanied by the sound of putting down tableware. Feng Lingxi walked in and saw Feng Yumo and Tian Xiaomi having breakfast. Seeing them arrive, Tian Xiaomi hurriedly stood up and became restrained.

Good morning, Your Highness.

Tian Xiaomi greeted with a nod, looking at Luoli beside Feng Lingxi. Her eyes scrutinized carefully, more direct and candid than yesterday.

Luo Li disliked Tian Xiaomi's scrutinizing gaze. Her expression instantly turned cold. Tian Xiaomi, who had been looking intently, felt Luo Li's sudden shift to a cold stare and smiled awkwardly. She quickly withdrew her gaze, her eyes filled with disdain.

If it weren't for the fact that he's good-looking, I wouldn't even bother looking at him.

"Sister, why are you up so early"

Wind Feather Ink fumbled to get up, Wind Ling Xi stepped forward and supported him, "Come, let me see your eyes. There's still some time before the New Year, let's see if we can find out what's wrong and help you recover your eyesight."

"Sister, it's fine. I'm used to it this way now."

Windfeather Ink comforted, not wanting his elder sister to worry for him. This was his fate, if heaven truly treated him this way, what could he doeally bad. Are you sure you really want to know"Dugu Cheng hesitated. His bet with the Empress was that he couldn't let Xi'er know about the past. If he revealed it, the wager would be a broken promis...
