idn't expect him to be out of the capital."Luo Juzhou puckered her red lips, her pitiful eyes full of dejection. Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly, and Xiaoli on the side was about to be unable to..."Dugu City, don't do this."

Feng Lingxi pushed him away, looking at his suppressed gaze, "We're in the carriage."

"Xier, I want to..."

The carriage suddenly stopped, the force of the movement causing Dugu City's lips to press against Feng Lingxi's once more in a kiss.

"My lord, we've arrived at the palace."

Ye Xi's voice came, and she lifted the curtain, instantly dumbfounded.

"Get out!"

Dugu City roared angrily, Ye Xi was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the curtain and turned around. Her heart beat wildly. Was the king this fierce

In the carriage, he already wanted to deal with the princess. He wouldn't ruin the young master's good deed, would he

If the prince were to find out about this later, he wouldn't have enough heads to pay for it.

"Ye Xi, what's wrong" Xiao Li rushed forward, wanting to call the Princess down. Ye Xi hurriedly stopped her, "Don't go over there, Your Highness and the Princess are attending to something."

In the carriage, Feng Ling Xi heard Ye Xi's words and suddenly pushed away Dugu Cheng. This toss made Dugu Cheng sober up a lot. He tidied up Feng Ling Xi's collar and looked at her alluring red lips, composing himself.

"Return home."

Feng Lingxi got out of the carriage. Ye Xi watched them descend, hurriedly bowing his head, not daring to look into the king's eyes. He dared guarantee that the king would definitely want to strangle him.

"Next time, drive the carriage more steadily."

Dugu Cheng coldly said to Ye Xi, his voice so cold that it made Ye Xi's whole body tremble. This tone was clearly unsatisfied, he was finished, the King would definitely have him killed this time.

"My lord, I will go to the pharmacy first."

Feng Lingxi left a sentence behind and entered the mansion with Xiaoli.

Ye Xi looked at the King's gaze and quickly apologized, "Your Highness, I truly didn't know that you and the Princess were in the carriage..."

"You always ruin my good deeds, Lord. You've really wasted your years following me."

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi, who was bowing her head and apologizing, feeling exasperated. This was the umpteenth time.

"Ye Xi knows her mistake and promises there won't be a next time."

He can't be blamed for that, after all, who could have guessed the Duke and Duchess would be like this in the carriage If he knew, he definitely wouldn't dare to disturb them.

"Let's go out of the city for a bit."

"My Lord, aren't you going back to continue"

Ye Xi heard the King say he was going out of the city. He recklessly asked a question and was rewarded with a nut by Dugu City. Dugu City glared at Ye Xi and said, "Let's go."

This is really foolish to keep going like this, even when things are already this bad.

Feng Lingxi entered the mansion and, seeing that Dugu City hadn't followed, couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.

Thinking about what happened on the carriage, my cheeks were flushed.

"Your Highness, are you alright Your face is so red," Xiao Li didn't know what had happened, she just had never seen the Princess blush like this, and was a little worried.

"I'm fine, going to the pharmacy."

At the apothecary, Feng Lingxi instructed Xiao Li, “Wait outside. I’ll be busy for a while.”

Feng Lingxi saw that Xiaoli hadn't come in. She covered her face with both hands, it was so hot and flushed.

It was all Dugu City, this bumpy carriage almost made her eaten clean by him right on the carriage.

When her mood had calmed, Feng Ling took off the Purple Star necklace from her neck and held up the star-shaped pendant to examine it carefully. She tried to see if there was anything special about it, but after a long while, she couldn't find anything suspicious.

"It's strange, what does the Empress want with Zi Xing for" Looking at it, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it, just a purple crystal bead. Could it be that Zi Xing is hiding some secret"

Feng Lingxi thought for a long time but to no avail. She put away Zi Xing and began to tinker with the medicine.

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

When Dugu Cheng returned to the mansion, it was already night. Feng Lingxi had not yet gone back to rest. Today's appearance of her mother concubine reminded her of this expedition. She could still research some medicinal powder to carry on her body for self-defense, and she wanted to take advantage of these few days to create some modern weapons for self-defense.

Feng Lingxi drew many pictures in the pharmacy, but she was not satisfied with any of them. She kept revising and changing them until Duguo City entered, and even then she hadn't finished.

"Xier, aren't you asleep yet"

"Here's some, sleep first."

Feng Lingxi had already forgotten about the events on the carriage. Now, her entire focus was on this weapon; she absolutely had to finish it tonight, or she would miss the departure time for the campaign.

Dugu Cheng was looking at the pattern she had drawn, picked it up and took a look, then glanced at Xi'er who was still modifying it. His black eyes held a hint of confusion, "Xi'er, are you wanting to make a weapon"

"When I'm out and about, I like to carry a weapon for self-defense, just in case."

"If you want these weapons, this king can get them for you. Both the bow and crossbow."

Feng Lingxi heard what Dugu City said, put down the pen in her hand, and pointed at the painting he was holding, "Are you sure you can get all of these for me"

"Sure, many assassins in the Jianghu prefer this kind of crossbow. It's worn on the wrist and made from rattan. When you throw a dart with it and it hooks onto something, you can use your inner strength to achieve the effect of walking on walls."

This is exactly what's being said, only nowadays it uses steel and copper wire. Here, the hemp rope should be a replacement for steel wire, but she didn't expect that there were already such weapons here.

"Xier, this crossbow needs to be shot accurately. Your acupuncture skills are good, but you need to understand what this king is thinking. Even if you have it, without inner strength, wanting to fly over walls and rooftops is just a fantasy."

"Put it on, even if you can't fly over walls, at least it will be of some use."

Feng Lingxi prevaricated, saying that only she would know if she could use it.

"Xier, come with this King."

Duguxing led her to the study and took out a box from a hidden compartment. He took out a dagger and handed it to her, "Here, this dagger is for your protection."

Wind Lingxi took the dagger. The blade was sharp, a good dagger, but with a surgical knife in her possession, this dagger was of little use to her.

"Thank you, Lord."

Feng Lingxi put away her dagger. Dugu Cheng saw her but didn't seem interested. He took out a box from another hidden compartment, inside which were two wrist guards. "This is for you."

What is this

Feng Lingxi looked at the exquisitely crafted wrist guards, Dugu Cheng helped her put them on and opened the inner compartment. "This is a good place to hide your golden needles," he said, "It's convenient for you to use."

He had seen her strike, her movements were swift and precise. Her use of golden needles was no less skillful than any hidden weapon, keeping them concealed was convenient for her as well.

"You actually understand me."

Feng Lingxi checked it over carefully. This pair of wrist cuffs not only could hide hidden weapons but also poison, which was indeed very convenient for her.

"Xier likes it, and although going out on a campaign is dangerous, it's also exciting."

Feng Lingxi didn't speak, she took off the bracelet on her wrist, "Then thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

"Xier, if there's nothing else, perhaps we should return to the room and rest It's getting late."

He hinted so obviously, Xier should be able to understand him, right

Feng Lingxi's body stiffened slightly, hearing his suggestive words. Her expression became flustered as she started tidying up the things on the table. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck her abdomen, causing Feng Lingxi's face to pale.en dealing with these days, causing both mental and physical fatigue, so she hadn't thought much about it."How is your body so weak"Li Wuyan's eyes were full of doubt, "I looked at it for you before,...
