Chapter 1268: War Drums Beat

d follow the clues and figure out his identity."The poison of the Falling Frost Flower isn't anything special, but it is indeed incurable."Feng Lingxi carefully put away the scrolls, "Master of this b...Although he really wanted to kill his sweetheart, he couldn't.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li handing over the handkerchief, which was still stained with blood. Feng Lingxi hesitated a little before taking it.

"Did you really chop off her finger"

Luo Li offered the handkerchief in her hand to Feng Ling Xi, noticing she hesitated to take it. Her brow furrowed slightly, "Why, don't you believe I would do this"

"No, I'm just surprised. I didn't expect you to actually cut off her finger."

"She severed Feng Yu Mo's index finger, and I severed hers as well. Take this half-finger to the kitchen and feed it to the dogs. I have no intention of letting her reattach it." Luo Li's words were enough to prove his meaning.

Feng Lingxi was truly taken aback when she saw the severed finger on her handkerchief, carefully unwrapped from its package. Looking at the bloody finger, she shuddered.

"This time she went too far in her cultivation, causing this kind of thing to happen. This is all her own fault. She reaped what she sowed. With this punishment, I hope you'll take my word for it and let the matter rest."

Wind Ling remained silent. Luo Li pleaded for Xinshui, even though she knew it would be difficult to bring Xinshui to justice. However, Luo Li's plea surprised her.

“Even if you pursue this matter, the Grand Elder will intervene. You killed Xinshui, and the Grand Elder will hold you accountable. You may not care for yourself, but you should consider Wan'er. You wouldn't want to become enemies with the Grand Elder because of what Xinshui did this time. With your current abilities, you are incapable of defeating the Yao Clan, let alone dealing with your situation here in the Great Yuan Dynasty. You don't need me to tell you how precarious your position is.”

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Luo Li. His gaze was full of certainty. He had clearly seen her current predicament and her inability to contend with the Grand Elder, so he handled the matter of Xinshui in this way.

Looking at the severed finger in her hand, Feng Lingxi clenched her fist, her eyes as cold as ice.

As expected, in this world of the strong preying on the weak, without power and sufficient strength, justice cannot prevail.

Knowing that she was responsible for killing so many soldiers, she was unable to bring her to justice. She could only be suppressed by the powerful forces behind her and remained helpless.

The fallen soldiers, they gave their lives so needlessly.

"Luo Li has done her best to answer you. Think it over carefully. Perhaps this is best left as it is for the sake of everyone involved." Even Li Wu Yan, who had remained silent until now, spoke up on Luo Li's behalf.

"This severed finger, this King shall keep."

Dugu Cheng stepped forward, taking the severed finger from Feng Lingxi's hand and handing it to Ye Xi.

"Take it to the backyard and feed the dog, watching it eat."

Luo Li heard this and her eyebrows shot up, as if Du Gu Cheng's order had nothing to do with her.

Ye Xi had just turned around when she was called back by Feng Lingxi.

"No trouble."

Feng Lingxi took out a bottle from her bosom and walked to Ye Xi's face. She picked up the severed finger and poured the medicinal powder on it. As soon as the powder landed, the severed finger instantly turned into a pool of blood. The thick blood was so pungent that even smelling it made one feel nauseous.

Luo Li saw Feng Ling Xi's move, her eyes widened. Feng Ling Xi had actually developed such a medicine powder. What was she trying to do

"This was prepared for the murderer by me. Since the Chief said to settle this with these severed fingers, then let it be done on this. That settles it."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, looking at the complex eyes in his eyes, her gaze fell on the bottle in her hand, she didn't expect Feng Lingxi to do this.

This powder, indeed, exceeded everyone's expectations because it was too terrifying.

"I didn't expect the Crown Princess's medical skills to have improved again."

Li Wuyan's eyes were deep, looking at Feng Lingxi's hand holding the medicine bottle, but his voice was a little helpless.

"A cornered dog will jump over the wall, she was too aggressive towards others first."

Feng Lingxi's voice was cold. Although Feng Yumuo wasn't related to her by blood, ever since she brought him out, she treated him as a younger brother. For Feng Yumuo, Feng Lingxi had been like his own sister. Seeing Feng Yumuo being tormented by Xinshui like this, she couldn't kill her, nor could she destroy her severed finger to vent her anger.

"Thank you, Princess Chen. We won't disturb you further. Farewell."

Luo Li bowed with both hands, then turned and left.

Li Wuyan glanced at Feng Lingxi, wanting to speak but ultimately remaining silent.

Feng Lingxi's medicine powder today is terribly frightening, even poisons don't compare to her in terms of fright.

"Xier, when did you make such powder Be careful, what if it accidentally gets on your body, wouldn't you hurt yourself"

"I only did this once, it won't happen again."

Feng Lingxi poured the bottle down, it was already empty.

She was just about to make this parting scene so dramatic, but instead, she let him know that even though she’s Feng Lingxi, she's not someone to be trifled with.

Even a rabbit gets desperate and bites when pushed, let alone her.

She has always endured being bullied, but now they are bullying her family as well. She can no longer tolerate it.

She will eventually solve this matter.

"Your Majesty, Yu Mo is awake."

Tian Xiaomi came running over, her face full of joy. But seeing Feng Lingxi's anger, she stopped in her tracks for a moment, unsure if she had arrived at the wrong time.

When Feng Yumo woke up, Feng Lingxi immediately dropped the crowd and walked towards Feng Yumo's courtyard. Feng Yumo regained consciousness, Gu Li guarded by his bedside, crying in tears. Feng Yumo looked at her weakly, but he couldn't do anything.

"Sister Xi'er."

Feng Yixuan hurriedly got up to greet him. Gu Li heard that Feng Lingxi had arrived and hurriedly stood up to make way.

Feng Lingxi watched as Feng Yumo woke up. She was overjoyed and stepped forward, her eyes full of concern. She grabbed Feng Yumo's wrist to feel his pulse, her eyes fixed on his pale face, and she asked with concern, "Yumo, is anything uncomfortable Does your finger hurt"

Feng Yu Mo looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes full of concern, staring at her, weakly shaking his head.

It's so good to see my sister again.

"I'm already much better. I still need to rest and take care of myself for a few days. Once his fingers heal, we'll be fine."

Feng Ling Xi happily said, looking at Feng Yu Mo's pale face, reaching out to gently caress his cheek and soothe him, "Yu Mo, don't be afraid, with elder sister here, your finger, elder sister will help you get it back, and everything will be alright."

Feng Yu Mo nodded, looking at Feng Ling Xi's eyes full of trust.

"Xiao Mi, go get some food for Yu Mo. Keep it light."

Feng Lingxi ordered, looking at the water beside her, "Go and fetch some hot water. I'll treat his other wounds. It's hot weather now, so we can't let the wounds get infected. Xiaoli, go get my medicine box, and also bring the gold sore medicine. I need to apply it to him."

Feng Yu Mo lay on the bed, watching Feng Ling Xi give orders. He watched as everyone surrounded him, serving him tea and water, bringing him medicine, cleaning his wounds, and looking at him with concern. For the first time, Feng Yu Mo felt the tension of being cared for by so many people. This feeling was truly wonderful.

He had never felt so important before, until this moment, he realized that in his sister's heart, he was such an important presence.

From then on, he would spend the rest of his life protecting his sister, ensuring her safety and well-being throughout her life.w something about this."From now on, this palace will have the kitchen prepare all three meals for you. Don't even think about refusing to eat."Feng Lingxi's face was extremely pale, she couldn't bear...
