the same thing he was, that if the emperor’s medicine wasn't administered carefully, Xi'er would become the one who killed the emperor."Your Majesty, your daughter-in-law will go back and carefully c..."There's no need for that. Just speak your mind, Xi'er is my queen, not a stranger."

The new county master's expression stiffened, and she hurriedly said, "My lord, I don't mean that. It's just some things... I think the princess is still better off not hearing them as a woman."

Feng Lingxi, seeing the new county magistrate's aversion to her, said, "Since that's the case, I'll go rest first."

"New County Master, what is there you cannot say in front of the Crown Princess"

Dugu Cheng's handsome face darkened. How was this new county head raised Couldn't she understand the meaning in his words

The new county master hurriedly knelt down, “Lord Wang, please forgive me. My subordinate was only worried that the Madam would become emotionally agitated upon hearing what came next, so I wanted her to temporarily withdraw.”

"Xi'er is not as fragile as you think. If you have something to say, just say it."

Dugu City grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand and gestured for her to sit beside him. After Feng Lingxi sat down, the new county master finally spoke.

"Your Highness, the retreat of the army from the Kingdom of Huaxia is because they don't want to be enemies with the Great Yuan Dynasty. There's also another reason, my subordinate heard it said that it was because of the Princess. This is a rumor spread by someone, saying that the Princess has a purple star on her body, which led to the retreat of the Kingdom of Huaxia."

"Purple Star"

Wind Ling's expression was surprised. What did this have to do with Zi Xing

Her purple stars, could it be that even the Xia dynasty wants them

"Your Highness may not know this, but when General Huaxia learned that Your Highness possessed the Zi Xing, he immediately planned to withdraw his troops without even investigating its authenticity."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, their eyes met, both of them showing confusion in their gazes.

This purple star in the sweltering summer, is it not some kind of secret

If so, they could go to Arahxia and perhaps uncover the secrets of Zi Xing.

"They'll be disappointed then, I don't have any so-called Purple Star. But since Arah Xia has retreated, we can keep this quiet and avoid causing more trouble."

"The princess doesn't have the Purple Star"

The new mistress was surprised and asked, then looked at Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi. She quickly smiled and explained, "My lord and lady are apologizing, I'm just a little surprised."

"The County Lord cares about this quite a bit."

Dugu Cheng was obviously displeased. This new county lord's words made him very unhappy. How could Sun Fawang's men be like this.

"I accept my fault."

The new county magistrate wiped a cold sweat nervously, staring at Feng Lingxi's intense gaze. Her piercing eyes seemed to see right through him, making him feel uneasy.

Feng Lingxi withdrew her gaze and said lightly, "Your Highness, I'm a bit tired. I'll go down to rest first."

Duke Gucheng responded, instructing Xiaoli, "Take the Princess to rest. Don't allow anyone to disturb her."

"Your servant obeys."

Xiaoli winked at the arsenic and retreated with Feng Lingxi.

獨孤城 saw Feng Lingxi leave, his handsome face darkened, and his sharp eyes swept over the new county magistrate standing opposite him, as if trying to see through him. This made the new county magistrate break out in a cold sweat.

"My Lord, is there anything else you wish to ask your subordinate"

He really couldn't bear being looked at any longer. The newly appointed county mistress spoke, a smile plastered on her face that made Dugu City's eyes even colder.

"How much does the County Lord know about this Zi Xing"

"His subordinates had only heard of the Zi Xing, but they didn't know what it was."

"Really"

Dugu City stared at him, got up and walked in front of him. Looking at the cold sweat on the forehead of the new county lord, he reminded, "I think the new county lord also knows this king's character. If you hide or deceive this king, this king will definitely not let you go."

The new county master's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly knelt down. "My lord, please forgive me. I truly didn't know anything. I only heard that Zi Xing was in the hands of the madam. As for what happened to Zi Xing, I truly know nothing."

Dugu Cheng gave a cold glance, "This king only asked about your situation, why are you so nervous"

Looking at the cold sweat on his face, how could a man trained by him be so frightened by such a simple question

Only someone with a guilty conscience would be so afraid.

The new county mistress was so frightened by Dugu City that she couldn't speak a word, not daring to make a sound.

Tell me about what happened these days.

The new county mistress hurriedly reported, and Dugu City returned to his position and sat down, but his eyes never left the new county mistress. This made the already nervous new county mistress even more nervous, her speech became stammered, and her palms were sweating profusely.

Feng Lingxi walked out, Xiao Li led her to the residence arranged for her by the county magistrate, and asked all the maidservants attending her to leave. In the room, there were only three of them left.

"Your Highness, how did news of Zixing's affair become common knowledge"

Feng Lingxi looked up at the two of them, her expression calm. "This matter is indeed rather strange. How did this new County Mistress know about the Purple Star on me"

"This county lord doesn't belong to the Sixth Prince. When the Sixth Prince met me, he never mentioned this person. I suspect this person is probably related to the Xia Kingdom."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, what do you think"

Xiao Li shook her head, “I don’t think this new county lord is from the country of Ah Xia. The King said he was General Sun’s man, so it seems that General Sun has taken notice of him. I think it’s very possible that he’s already been bought by the Sixth Prince.”

"You make sense. If he truly is the Sixth Prince's man, I believe he will come looking for me soon. Then I can confirm his identity."

In this Liu Xi County, if this county magistrate is truly the Sixth Prince's person, he would definitely seek her out and ask her to help him deal with the Prince and Princess. Then his identity would be confirmed.

"Arsenic, if the County Mistress truly comes looking for you, follow her lead. Follow the clues and try your best to uncover Zi Xing's secrets."

Feng Lingxi instructed, "Poison, respond," and glanced outside. “Your Highness, I have something I need your help with."

"You said."

As for Bi Fang's request, Feng Ling Xi tried her best to satisfy her, as long as she didn't betray her, anything was negotiable.

"Could you help me conceal my appearance, preferably with a potion that could alter my voice Even if it meant disfigurement, I wouldn't mind."

“If you want to change your appearance, there’s a way to do it with illusionary magic. This prince can make it happen. As for your voice, the princess's pills can do that.” Xiao Li said to Bi Fang, “Don’t always think about the bad things. The prince and princess will help you.”

"Xiao Li is right, the king of disguise can figure something out. As for changing your voice, it's very easy. If you want, I can help you," Feng Ling Xi soothed Pi Xiang, her thoughts were dangerous, she was afraid Pi Xiang would hurt herself.

"Then I would trouble the Princess, if there were a way to disguise oneself, it would be more convenient for me."

Bi Shu looked at Feng Lingxi, "You don't want to know the secret of Zi Xing, do you With a disguise technique, I can help you find out."

It was easy to find out from Dugu Xiu's mouth, she just needed a new face. This one wouldn't fool him in front of Dugu Xiu.

"Do you want to get close to the Sixth Prince"

Seeing her nod, Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, "If you trust me, I can help you change your appearance and let you approach Dugu Xiu with a different face. However, you must follow my arrangements."ing her up from head to toe. Seeing that she was unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief."I'm fine, don't worry."Dugu Cheng responded, and Feng Lingxi walked up to Shu Taifei. Seeing Shu Taifei's pale f...
