Chapter 649: Yao's Chaos 19

rest assured.”Dugu City glanced at Feng Yixuan at the door, “General Feng is right here. Sixth brother, you have a good talk with him. After all, he’s royal family. Give him a chance. This king has o..."Just hand all of this to him and ask him to put it away for me."

"Shadow Six put away the medicine jar, "Hasn't the Saintess been writing letters"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "No need, I'll be back in ten days. Tell him everything is well here."

Shadow Six retreated, and Feng Ling Xi began tinkering with other medicinal herbs. She busily threw all her worries aside. These days, she tried not to stir up trouble, lest anyone discover she was pregnant.

獨孤城將影六送來的藥罐收好，兮兒把這些藥送回來自然有她的用途，雖然這些藥到底有什麼作用，但獨孤城特意在這邊給她空出一間房間讓她做藥房。

"Master, are we really not going to greet the Duchess"

Yexi watched as the King stared absentmindedly at the medicine jar, and frowned, asking, "With such a thick layer of snow on the roads this close to the New Year, are you truly comfortable with your Consort returning alone"

"We'll wait fifteen days."

"My lord, forgive my presumption, but the queen spends all her time with Luo Li, the leader of the Yao clan. With this going on for so long, wouldn't you worry that Luo Li might develop feelings for the queen A woman like her, how many men wouldn't fall for her"

"Do you also like Xier"

Dugu Cheng frowned and asked, Ye Xi's body stiffened, he hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "Your Highness, I respect the Princess deeply, there is no liking for her. But Luoli is different, his identity is the leader of the Yao tribe, he is handsome and dashing, this is high-ranking in the Yao tribe, the Princess has true feelings for Your Highness, and if Luoli falls in love with the Princess, then Your Highness will have another rival."

Dugu City's eyes were calm, "This king has confidence in Xi'er, she won't like Luoli."

"My subordinates understand, they're just afraid that someone will pester our princess."

Ye Xi looked at the King, seeing the suppressed displeasure in his eyes, she reminded him, "Your Highness, I think you're not domineering enough. If it were me, I wouldn't let others take care of my woman."

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

Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Xi, and said coldly, "Go do your business. You're looking for someone. Don't come back unless it's important.

Don't bother this King."

I'm saying all these unpleasant things on purpose just to make him miserable.

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly, it was this sentence again.

"I resign from my position."

Feng Yu Mo walked in, clad in a blue robe, his body covered in snowflakes. His cold and stern face was filled with seriousness.

"Brother-in-law, there's news."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Yu Mo, signaling Ye Xi to go outside and keep watch.

"What's going on"

"Something's happening at the pond."

Feng Yu Mo panted, "I just received news that the ice surface of the water tank was smashed open, a gap two or three meters wide. It seems like someone went down."

"On such a cold day, how could anyone go down there"

And, such a large opening, even with his internal energy, he couldn't shake it open. Unless...

Dugu Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Where is General Sun"

Feng Yu Mo shook his head. Dugu Cheng hurriedly shouted to Ye Xi outside, "Go and bring Sun Cheng to me."

Night had fallen, and soon she returned. Her face was grave.

"My Lord, Sun Cheng is not in Linxi County. His soldiers said he left two days ago and hasn't returned."

Dugu Cheng clenched his fists, his temples throbbing with anger, and a fierce fire burned in his handsome face. "Immediately lead people there, Sun Cheng has gone into the water!"

Feng Yu Mo, hearing this, hurriedly brought his troops with Ye Xi to the location of the water pond. Upon arriving, they looked around. Besides the shattered ice surface, there was no one in sight.

"He's really too bold."

Ye Xi looked at the gloomy King beside her. This time, she had really angered him. She had secretly used the explosives researched by the Queen to attack the water behind his back. This time, military law punishment was inevitable.

“The footprints here don't belong to a single person.”

Feng Yu Mo crouched down, carefully examining the area around the pool of water. He looked at the footprints almost completely buried in the snow, trying hard to differentiate them.

"There should be another woman's footprint."

Hearing the word "woman," Dugu City's mind immediately flashed to one person. Ye Xi hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, could it be Aman"

"Get the rope."

Dugu Cheng spoke in a low voice, leaping to the edge of the water tank. He gazed into the bottomless depths below, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.

They must have gone for a swim. In this weather, who knows how cold the water is Only those brave enough to jump in would know.

"My lord, please allow me to serve you."

Ye Xi hurriedly rushed to the king's side, stopping him. Knowing the king wanted to go into the water to investigate, she quickly stopped him.

"No need, this King shall go and see for himself."

If things really get bad, he can handle it. Ye Xi's internal strength is not as strong as his, if they go underwater, she may not be able to handle it.

"My lord, the rope has arrived."

Feng Yu Mo snatched the ropes from their hands and tied them around his own waist. "Let me do it," he said, "My body is more suitable for this."

Dugu Cheng reached out to stop Feng Yu Mo, "Anyone can, but you can't."

Xier gave him to herself, not to put him in danger.

Feng Yu Mo was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, my sister treats me like her own child. Sister's mother is also my mother. Why would there be any problem with me going down"

"If you're not strong enough, your body can't handle it."

獨孤城 took the rope off his body and tied it around his waist. “This king’s internal energy is enough to go up and down. You guys wait here.”

"My lord, I shall accompany you."

Ye Xi hurriedly reminded, inadvertently kicking the rope beside her into the water. The rope fell down, and Ye Xi instinctively wanted to pull it back. Suddenly, she realized that the rope was sinking rapidly, quickly reaching Du Gu Cheng's body. She clearly felt a powerful force pulling Du Gu Cheng down.

Dugu City hurriedly grabbed the rope and pulled upwards, Ye Xi quickly helped. Afterwards, the force pulling the rope down was immense, like there was a thousand-pound weight below. Dugu City and Ye Xi were constantly being pulled downwards by this force, gradually finding it difficult to hold on.

"You guys better let go, it looks like a vortex."

Seeing that he was about to be dragged in, Dugu Cheng hurriedly shouted. Ye Xi and Feng Yu Mo refused to let go, suddenly there was a tug-of-war, Dugu Cheng and the others were pulled into the water tank, falling into the water, and quickly swept away by the current.

"Your Majesty."

The people on shore were startled by the scene before them. They hurriedly sent someone over, but they discovered that Feng Yu Mo and Ye Xi had also been swept into the water, disappearing instantly. The surface of the water was now as calm and undisturbed as ever, revealing nothing of what had just transpired.

Dugu Cheng was caught in the water, only feeling a dizzying spin before his eyes. He knew he was caught in the whirlpool and wasn't sure how long it lasted. His head swam, disoriented, until a powerful current suddenly surged, throwing him out of the vortex and into the water. He lost consciousness immediately afterward.

Holy Maiden's Temple

Feng Lingxi's right eyelid kept twitching nonstop. She sat and stood restlessly, her heart racing, unable to calm down at all.

"Your Highness, be careful, it's hot."

Xiao Li entered the room and was startled by the queen's actions. The queen, who was pouring medicine, had medicine spilling all over herself, yet she seemed completely oblivious to it., "Are you truly not curious about anything""Yes."Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Empress Cen. Meeting Empress Cen's questioning gaze, she calmly said, "The Empress let me research the poison o...
