wind and Dugu City's smug laughter in her ears. Fragments of images flashed through her mind, more and more, becoming clearer and clearer. With a plop, Feng Lingxi and Dugu City fell into the water...After receiving the news, Dugu Yan immediately dispatched her confidante to investigate the truth. However, the results of the investigation were consistent with what Dugu Cheng reported. The bandits had been wiped out, and the commoners who had been oppressed by them were resettled by Dugu Cheng. The people were spreading rumors that Dugu Cheng was a good prince, saying that the court's decision to send him was the best arrangement this time.
Though Dugu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable hearing the people's admiration for Dugu City, she had to bear it. After all, the people also attributed the credit for this bandit suppression to him. She knew that public opinion was paramount.
Dugu City renamed the makeshift village to Xinsheng Village, hoping that the reborn people could get better day by day.
More than 500 villagers from the counterfeit mountain stronghold were willing to join Dugu City's command. Dugu City had already arranged for them to be settled in the camp, registered their new identities, and enlisted them into the army under Bai Mo Bai. Bai Mo Bai, who was recruited by Feng Ling Xi during a bandit suppression operation, became Dugu City's military strategist after being rescued by him. Later, he joined forces with 300,000 troops outside the city and the 500 villagers.
"My Lord, everything has unfolded as you predicted. The Emperor sent someone to investigate the truth behind this bandit suppression, but nothing amiss was found."
Ye Xi replied, Dugu City and Bai Mo, Bai Feng Ling Xi sat there sipping tea. Now the arrangement is most satisfactory for Bai Mo. These days, he has seen with his own eyes what Dugu City has done for the villagers. Xinsheng Village is back on track, registered with the government, and everything makes him feel at ease. He admires Dugu City more and more.
"Advisor, is there anything else that needs to be added"
Dugu Cheng asked, after these days of getting along, he understood Bai Mo Bai better, and also clearly realized that if Bai Mo Bai was born into a military family, he would surely be a renowned general who shook the world. Both his intelligence and martial arts were top-notch. If it weren't for this chaotic era, the imperial court would have gained another outstanding talent.
Fortunately, Xier discovered that having these talents under her command wasn't a bad thing.
"The king has a thoughtful mind, everything has been arranged properly, not losing a single soldier. Mo Bai admires him."
Dugu City saw he was satisfied, and said, "Then according to what we said, this king will send you to the military camp to meet with the main army."
Bai Mo nodded, looking at Feng Ling Xi, "Fourth Princess, Bai Mo still has one request for you."
"General, please speak."
"Lady Bai has just given birth, and I promised to take care of her. But now I have to leave. I hope you, Your Highness, can help me look after her and her child here, at least ensuring they live comfortably for the rest of their lives."
"Since you agreed to take care of her, why aren't you bringing her"
Feng Lingxi could see that Bai Mo was in love with the young lady. Perhaps because of the young lady's background and experiences, he was hesitant. Now that it was said, she might as well help him out.
"The Fourth Princess is joking. I promised her before because I was the fake chieftain. Now that I've pledged allegiance to the Fourth Prince, who knows what will happen in the future How could I possibly make her and her son suffer with me"
Bai Mo's white eyes were filled with reluctance, even though he was reluctant, he had to let go.
"She's unmarried, and you are unwed. If you are willing, let us become husband and wife. Wouldn't we then be family Why can't we share both the joys and sorrows together"
Feng Ling's words had barely left her lips when Bai Mo, his expression shifting slightly, quickly interjected, "Fourth Prince, Miss Bai…."
Unless you find her repulsive.
Feng Ling Xi's words caused Bai Mo to hastily explain, "I didn't despise her, I was afraid she wouldn't agree, she doesn't look down on me like this."
Feng Lingxi saw him open his heart, so she helped him to the end, "If you have a mind, I'll help you ask. If she is willing, then take advantage of this opportunity to leave and fulfill your good deeds, how about it"
Bai Mo hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed, "Then I'll have to trouble the Fourth Princess."
Feng Lingxi got up and summoned Xiao Li to go to Bai Gu's residence.
"Your Highness, why are you so insistent on this military advisor Miss Bai just gave birth to a child, how could she agree to marry him"
"How could I possibly know if she has such thoughts This young Miss Bai, in her lifetime, everyone has times when things don't go their way. Since Bai Mo Bai doesn't mind her past, why can't she let go of the past and pursue her own happiness"
Xiao Li nodded and looked at the princess. Suddenly, she felt that the princess wasn't very old, but she knew much more than her.
Feng Lingxi, accompanied by Xiao Li, knocked on Bai's door and entered. Seeing Bai feeding her child, Feng Lingxi politely greeted her and walked over. When Bai saw Feng Lingxi, she hurriedly stood up and wanted to kneel down, but Feng Lingxi stopped her.
"Miss Bai, don't do this, you're still confinement."
Bai girl nodded, a beautiful face with a faint sadness, that heavy heart looked like everyone felt distressed.
"Bai Xiaod ie thanks Fourth Princess for saving her life."
"So your name is Bai Xiadie."
Feng Lingxi remembered that the people in this village didn't even know her full name. She had only said her surname was Bai, and then she became quiet. The villagers all called her Miss Bai, but she never expected that she would tell her this time.
Bai Xiadie nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi, "This time our mother and son were able to be safe, I have already heard from Bai Gege that it was all thanks to the Fourth Princess's help. Xiadie doesn't know how to repay her."
"Miss Bai, this is fate. You don't need to thank me. Madam Bai has already thanked me."
Bai Xiaod ie looked at Feng Lingxi, mentioning Bai Mo Bai. Bai Xiaod ie's face was very calm and there were no ripples.
"Miss Bai, actually I came today to ask you something."
Feng Ling hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Master Bai is joining the Fourth Prince's ranks and will be leaving in the next two days. I want to ask you, are you willing to go with him"
"Big Brother Bai is leaving"
Bai Xiadie's eyes were downcast, she shook her head, "He can join the Fourth Prince's ranks and have a bright future ahead. I can't drag him down anymore, I'll just stay here."
"Miss Bai, Master Bai likes you and wants to marry you. Would you be willing to marry him and join the ranks of the Fourth Prince"
Xiao Li looked at the princess for a long time, but she didn't get to the point. She was getting anxious and directly laid out her words. Bai Xiadie was stunned and looked at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes complex.
"Miss Bai, do you have feelings for Bai Mo Bai..."
"Your Majesty, do you know who the father of this child is"
Bai Xiaod ie suddenly brought up the child's father, Feng Lingxi was stunned, thinking of what Bai Mo Bai and her had said, saying, "Big Brother Bai told me about you, but he didn't say who the child's father was."
“I am not from the Yuan Dynasty, but a princess from the Tianqi Kingdom. A year ago, I was sent to Gallo Country for a diplomatic marriage. On the way, I was kidnapped and violated. When I woke up, I was abandoned in a dilapidated temple. I wanted to go back, but I didn't expect to hear news from my country that I had been assassinated on the way to the marriage.”
Bai Xiaod ie smiled bitterly, "I lost my body and my status. I thought that when I returned to the palace and saw my father, I would start over. When I got back, I found out that my father had passed away, and the new emperor was the traitor who ruined my innocence, the national teacher of our Tianqi country." there was no way out."Just as it is, just as it shall be. He acts, and so will I, both true and false, the king understands clearly."Dugu Cheng's black eyes drooped, his former best brother now plott...
