Chapter 1424: War Clouds Gather (Part 245)

eived news from the palace, the Emperor has appointed the Sixth Prince as the Grand Marshal, leading an army of 500,000 to conquer those small nations.""Did Dugu Xiu march out""In that case, this king...Wind Ling Xi woke up in the carriage, but it was already daylight. The carriage had stopped on a mountain path in the forest. Li Wu Yan sat beside her. Seeing that she was awake, Li Wu Yan reached out and helped her sit up straight.

"Are you awake"

"Ayan, how did you get here"

Feng Ling hurriedly got up. She had actually fallen asleep leaning against Li Wu Yan's legs, and this was inside the cramped carriage. She couldn't remember what happened at all.

"Last night, you were taken out of the Yao Clan's main residence. It was Luo Li's intention, and I couldn't stop it, so I personally escorted you."

"Give me a ride"

Feng Lingxi was full of doubts, but her mind was blank. She only remembered talking with Li Wuyan before she fell asleep, and then there was nothing. When she woke up, she found herself here.

I don't trust you.

Li Wuyan spoke frankly, looking at Feng Lingxi's puzzled eyes, "This is Luo Li's arrangement. She wants to send you out of Lin Xi County so that you can leave safely."

"Does he think I'll still cling to Dugu City Or is he afraid that I won't give Xiao Li to him" At this point, she had no choice. Whether it was Wan'er or Xiao Li, if he wanted someone, could she really snatch them away

She now has nothing, all alone.

"You can think of it this way, we are now at the crossroads between nations. The path ahead is yours to choose. If you wish to go to Ahsumeria, I can escort you there. But if you desire to travel to Xiguo, I can only bring you this far. From here on, your journey will be your own."

Scorching summer, ancient West

Feng Lingxi suddenly wanted to laugh. Both places were places she didn't want to go.

"Ah Yan, thank you for seeing me off. No matter where I go next, I will walk on my own. You should go back. I have one request, please take good care of Wan'er."

"Don't worry about Wan'er's safety, no one can hurt her. She is Luoli's disciple and the future leader of the Yao clan. She is now surrounded by Yao Clan's shadow guards, who take care of her completely. Rest assured."

“Thank you.” Even though she was filled with countless feelings of reluctance, Feng Lingxi knew her current situation very well. If Luo Li sent her away, he wouldn't give her a way back. And she had no choice but to move forward. Her Wan’er and Xiao Li were already in the past. Her future life only belonged to her and the child in her womb.

Feng Ling Xi unconsciously caressed her abdomen, her eyes struggling. Li Wu Yan saw this and took out a box from his bosom, "These are pregnancy-preserving pills. I don't know where you're going next, but if you want to keep the child, these can help you. If you don't need them, just throw them away."

"A-Yan, why are you so good to me"

When everyone shunned her, Li Wuyan broke the mold by treating her well. It was truly ironic. She had initially thought she could spend her life with Dugu City through thick and thin, supporting him no matter what he wanted, even if it meant seizing the throne of the Great Yuan Dynasty. She had even planned how to help him achieve his ambitions. But she never expected to be abandoned by Dugu City and replaced with someone new.

"Do you really want to know"

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her nod, he seriously pondered for a while, "You look pitiful."

Feng Ling's body stiffened, looking at her pitifully

Yes, she is so pitiful now. She really has nothing left. If she isn't pitiable, then who is

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi's mournful smile, not knowing how to speak when he told her he was leaving.

"Here, take this bag," he handed Feng Lingxi a bundle, "It's what I prepared for you. It's not much, but it should last you for a while."

Feng Lingxi didn't look, and said thank you.

"Are you leaving"

Li Wuyan hummed in response, but he didn't dare to look into Feng Lingxi's eyes. He was afraid he would regret it.

Feng Ling Xi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the mountain road before her. Suddenly, she realized that she really had no other choice but to move forward. If she didn't, she could only go back, and Li Wu Yan wouldn't let her go back.

"I rode back on horseback, and I had them take you to wherever you want to go."

Li Wuyan followed her down, he couldn't let her walk that far on foot.

"No need, I can walk myself. You've helped me enough."

Feng Lingxi looked at the few people behind Li Wuyan, "You all go back, this separation, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future, Feng Lingxi thanks you all here."

Feng Ling Xi bowed towards them, holding her bundle and walking forward without looking back. Li Wu Yan wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by someone who came out.

"The Lu family will be here soon, don't worry, she'll be fine."

Li Wuyan looked at the slender figure, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Luo Li, she is pregnant now. Are you really going to let her walk alone"

"What's the matter"

Luoli patted Li Wuyan on the shoulder, "Let's go, we still have a lot to do."

Feng Lingxi heard the sound of hooves behind her, her steps came to a halt, she turned to look at the carriage that had already driven away, and smiled bitterly.

"Unexpectedly, I, Feng Lingxi, would end up in such a state. It's truly shameful."

Life in ancient times was really tough. Ever since she arrived here, there wasn't a single day without worry. Now, she has been driven out of her home and become a divorced woman.

"Fenglingxi ah Fenglingxi, you are really a disgrace."

A self-deprecating smile played on Feng Ling Xi's lips as she tilted her head to gaze at the overcast sky. Perhaps even heaven itself felt sorry for her plight, she thought.

A lone person walked on the mountain path, the road was difficult to navigate. There was only her on this path. Feng Lingxi didn't know how long she had been walking. When she got tired, she would rest by the roadside, and when she was thirsty, she would drink water by the side of the mountain path. It wasn't until dusk that she saw a small town and found an inn to stay in.

"Have you heard The Crown Princess of the Chen Dynasty and Prince Chen have divorced. This news has spread like wildfire."

“I heard that the Princess Consort was disliked by the Prince because she couldn't give birth to a son. That makes sense, after all, it’s been several years since their marriage, and she has only given birth to a daughter. Moreover, she’s rather fierce, calling the Prince by his name in public and not treating him as someone of importance at all. Now she’s facing the consequences.”

"That's not all, I heard that the woman the Crown Prince favors is breathtakingly beautiful, gentle and kind, and she's already pregnant with the Crown Prince's child. That's why the Crown Prince doesn't want to marry the Crown Princess anymore."

“You’re all lying! I’ll tell you the truth, Princess Chen is too arrogant in her daily life. It was the Emperor who ordered Prince Chen and Princess Chen to divorce. And let me tell you, Prince Chen doesn’t like Princess Chen at all. He has always been so kind to her because of the cooperation with the Yao tribe. Think about it, how many people from the Yao tribe dream of their treasure Prince Chen married Princess Chen just to get his hands on it!”

"Anyway, the Crown Princess deserves it."

Feng Lingxi sat beside them, listening to their hushed whispers. She chuckled wryly. She never expected that after following Duguo Cheng, she would be seen this way in the eyes of others. Could women in ancient times only endure humiliation and live a life of subservienceis mother would be the murderer of his child, and almost killed Xi'er as well."It seems you already have the answer, knowing who it was for."Li Wuyan continued to give Feng Lingxi acupuncture, without...
