argument with her. This Feng Yu Xi really wants Feng Aotian to be the all-powerful National General, dominating everything! The land and mountains of our Great Yuan dynasty are not hers to command."Fe...That's all then.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, "You talk as if you're so kind, but aren't you still ruthless"

"Aren't you going back to the county office today"

Luo Li changed the subject, "Tonight, without you, will Dugu City be able to sleep"

Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes. "Just mind your own business," she said, "What's the point of thinking so much"

"It's best not to go back today. This city has a lot of eyes, and it's best not to be noticed."

Li Wuyan could be said to be the most focused speaker among them. When Feng Lingxi and Luo Li teased each other, it sounded like a gust of wind in his ears, brushing past and disappearing.

"I don't intend to go back. Empress Cen must have placed more than just these eyes in Linxi County. To clean them up and get rid of them, the Linxi County government office can finally be returned." Besides, in a few days, Wan’er will arrive. She wouldn't want things about Wan’er here to reach the capital and attract their attention."

Feng Lingxi's eyes turned cold and sharp. The captured traitor was brought in and knelt before them.

"Chieftain, Holy Master, the people have arrived."

"I... I really am not a spy."

The man at the opening was probably around thirty years old. He wore plain clothes and looked very ordinary, with a simple and honest demeanor. Looking at Feng Lingxi and the others, his eyes were full of fear. Looking at him, he didn't seem like a spy at all.

"Chief, he was the spy lurking at the city gate, watching our every move."

"I'm not a spy, I really am not. I was just curious what you looked like, so I took another look..."

"What do we look like"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips.

That man hurriedly nodded, "I'm new to the city gate, guarding. They said that the Fourth Prince and Princess will be back, so I was curious to take a look."

"Linxi County has never recruited new soldiers. Don't you know that"

Feng Lingxi countered, the man was stunned for a moment, “Impossible, I came here last August. The princess doesn’t believe me You can ask my cousin, he’s also guarding the city.”

Looking at this person's serious expression, Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli.

"Have his words been investigated"

"You're talking about him, aren't you"

Luo Li’s eyes caught sight of the man brought in. He was about the same age as her. When the man saw what she called her cousin, his face changed abruptly. He looked at his cousin in astonishment, “Cousin, how were you also captured Quickly explain to the Princess, I really brought you here.”

"This has nothing to do with my cousin. He's truly innocent, and how the Princess punishes me is my concern. Let him go."

"Cousin"

Feng Lingxi looked at her younger brother's astonished expression and couldn't help but wonder, could he really be unaware

"Cousin, this matter has nothing to do with you. Brother shouldn't have dragged you into it. Take care of Father and Mother for me, and tell them that I apologize to them."

As soon as his cousin finished speaking, a snapping sound was heard, and he directly bit his tongue and committed suicide. This move came too suddenly, leaving Feng Lingxi and others unable to react or stop it in time.

"Brother."

Li Wuyan stepped forward to check, frowning and saying, “She’s dead.”

"It seems he planned his escape route the moment he was caught."

To bite one's tongue and commit suicide, this Cen empress's people are indeed loyal.

"What should be done with this person"

Luo Li looked at her cousin who was holding her brother's body and crying. This timid look seemed to really not know the truth.

But if he's a good actor, deceiving them and letting him go would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain. The consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lock him up first, and we'll decide what to do after we investigate."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the person, stood up, and said, "I'm a little tired, I'll go back to rest first."

"It seems murder is not her forte after all."

"This is a young woman's house, do you think it's yours" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Li Wuyan coldly scanned over, "Deal with it cleanly, don't bother me."

Luo Li pointed at him, then looked at the living man and the corpse in front of her, her brows furrowed.

"Come, take the person away and dispose of the body properly."

The Lantern Festival is over, but the weather remains humid and cold. The sky is gloomy, either raining or snowing. Feng Lingxi returned to her room, but she couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Your Highness, should we go to the county office All of them have been caught, and they won't be discovered."

That person is lying.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, "I don't know if Luo Li intentionally let me win, or if my judgment was wrong."

"Did the Queen realize he was lying"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "That man said he didn't know anything, he just wanted to see what I looked like. Since he was brought by his cousin, he would definitely tell him my appearance. Moreover, his cousin is a spy beside Empress Cen. Even if he knew nothing, he would ask him to help investigate. What he just said was too straightforward."

"The Princess is right, but I don't think he's really a traitor."

Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, "You go get two sets of night clothes. Later we'll go to the cell and save him, and the answers will soon become clear."

"Should we let the Chief and Dr. Li know"

Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Tell them to cooperate. If this person truly knows nothing, then arrest and detain them. If they’re hiding something…” Feng Lingxi mimed slashing her throat. Xiao Li responded with a nod and retreated.

As night fell, a biting wind howled. Inside the prison cell, the north wind roared and rattled the iron chains at the entrance.

The Yao people guarding the cell sat by the hearth, drinking and warming themselves by the fire. Suddenly, two black shadows appeared. Before they could react, they all fell to the ground.

Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li, wearing black face masks and night clothes, moved gracefully. They found the cell where their cousin was imprisoned and hurriedly found the key from a jailer to unlock the cell door.

"Come with us quickly."

Feng Lingxi lowered her voice. The man was taken aback and nodded hurriedly. He watched as they led him out, keeping pace closely. All the prison guards were knocked unconscious by Feng Lingxi, and the three of them successfully escaped the cell.

"Are there others"

"What other people"

This cousin had a naive expression, looking at Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li. His sharp eyes made him look frightened.

"My cousin was killed by them."

"Darn it."

Xiao Li cooperated in scolding, her cousin hurriedly looked at Xiao Li and Feng Ling Xi, "They already know my cousin is the Empress Dowager's person, to protect me, my cousin bit his tongue and committed suicide, you guys hurry and notify the others, let them be careful, pass the message back to the capital, tell them that the Fourth Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince came back together."

"Why are you just saying this now What have you been doing all this time"

Feng Lingxi glared and reprimanded in a fierce voice, "You can't even handle simple tasks."

"We just found out that Queen Four was captured, and no one else in the city can get out. My cousin even sacrificed himself. I'll go contact the people inside the city later, you guys go tell the people outside and quickly send the message to the Empress Dowager."

"I can go out of the city alone. Have her go with you into the city, deliver the message, and leave as soon as possible."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Xiao Li. After their eyes met, the man hurriedly took Xiao Li away.eng Lingxi looked at General Li, “I don’t know who it is, but I’m sure they’re coming for me.”Du Gucheng frowned. Xi'er mentioned Sun Cheng, and said he was coming for her. Could it really be related...
