Chapter 652: Yao's Uprising 22

was doing."This time I was lucky to escape, if there's a next time…""I will take note of that."Feng Lingxi interrupted him, "Your Highness, it's more important to take care of your own affairs first."..."What happened"

The incident at the Holy Maiden's Temple spread quickly, and people came rushing in upon hearing the news. They saw the Holy Maiden standing in the snow with bloodstains on her clothes, her eyes filled with murderous intent that sent shivers down their spines.

"Grand Elder, what is going on"

Yao Zhi hurried over and saw that the Holy Maiden was looking at Yao Chu with a gaze that held a deep, cunning calculation hidden beneath her eyes.

Feng Lingxi stood there like that, her face growing paler and paler. Soon, they noticed something was wrong. There were bloodstains on the snow beneath Feng Lingxi's feet, starkly visible against the white.

"What happened"

Luoli just arrived at the tribe and heard something had happened. She rushed over and saw this scene before her eyes. She leaped to Feng Lingxi's side, looking at the bloodstain on her body. She grabbed her hand, felt her pulse, and her face changed drastically. She hugged Feng Lingxi around the waist, and Feng Lingxi could no longer hold on and fainted.

"The blood is from the saintess. The High Elder wants to kill the saintess."

Someone shouted, and Yao Chu came back to his senses. He hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't, I didn't want to kill her, I..."

Yao Shu looked at Feng Ling Xi standing in that spot, at the bloodstains there. He couldn't say where it came from.

"Grand Elder, even if you disapprove of the Holy Maiden, you cannot attack her. Are you trying to rebel"

Yaozhi pointed at Yaoshui and angrily rebuked him. Yaoshui came to his senses, looked at Yaozhi's sinister eyes, and suddenly realized. He pointed at Yaozhi, "It's you, you are framing me."

Yao Zhi drew his sword and pointed it at Yao Chu. All the members of the Yao tribe followed suit, drawing their swords.

"Grand Elder, we all saw you attack the Saintess just now. Now no one knows her condition. Do you still want to argue What use is it for you to frame me We all saw with our own eyes that I arrived with them. How could I possibly have framed you"

Yao Zhi's words made Yao Chu even more flustered. Looking at his clan members, uncertain whether to believe him or not, he hurriedly said, "You said..."

"Grand Elder, there's no need to argue further. You attempted to assassinate the Holy Maiden, what crime could be greater"

Yao Shu was interrupted and surrounded by people who drew their swords, pointing them at him. "By the clan leader's order, Yao Shu is to be imprisoned in the Yao Clan's great prison. No one is allowed to visit without the clan leader's permission."

Yao Zhi's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "The Great Elder injured the Holy Maiden. According to clan rules, he should be executed on the spot."

"Are the three elders going to disobey the chieftain's orders"

Yao Yi saw the situation clearly. The Great Elder was not a rash person, he must have been influenced by Yao Zhi. Now he wanted to kill and silence him. If Yao Chu died, he would be next. He couldn't let Yao Zhi succeed.

Yao Zhi looked at Yao Yi, his eyes full of cold intent.

It's time to wipe them all out.

Nowadays, he has become a stumbling block to himself.

Yao Shu put down the sword in his hand, watched as the patriarch's men came to arrest him, and turned back to look at Yao Zhi. The anger in his eyes made the hidden killing intent in Yao Zhi's eyes flicker. Yao Shu could not be left alive.

Holy Maiden's Temple

As if worlds apart, Feng Lingxi didn't know how long she had slept. Her body floated up and down countless times until a beam of light appeared before her eyes. She followed the light forward, and suddenly the light became brighter and brighter, her vision gradually clearing up as well.

"You're awake."

As Feng Ling Xi opened her eyes, Luo Li sat beside her. Feng Ling Xi shifted slightly, a warm towel pressed against her forehead. She reached out to take it off but was stopped by Luo Li.

You have a high fever, don't move.

Feng Lingxi pried open his hand and took off the towel.

Where's Xiaoli

She suffered internal injuries, but she is out of danger and has people taking care of her.

Feng Lingxi heard that Xiao Li was fine, and then she let out a sigh of relief. She subconsciously grabbed her wrist and placed it lightly on top, the trembling hand made Luo Li feel distressed, but she had to tell her the truth nonetheless.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't save your child."

Feng Lingxi's tears welled up in her eyes and flowed down, she slowly closed her eyes, concealing the deepest pain within.

"The child in your womb was lost because your body was too weak, and the fall injured your abdomen. I tried my best, but I couldn't save it. I'm sorry."

Feng Lingxi didn't reply to him. Silent tears streamed down her cheeks, making people feel very heartbroken.

Luoli didn't know what to say, he had broken his promise.

He said he could protect her here, but he didn't.

He asked her to come back and quell the internal unrest, but before she could do so, he made her lose the child she had finally conceived.

Tears welled up in her throat, and she struggled to speak comforting words, but they remained unspoken.

He knew Feng Lingxi would definitely be heartbroken. This child appeared when something happened to Dugu City, but she couldn't keep Dugu City's child. She must be so sad.

"Chief."

Sounds of the Shadow Guards came from outside the door. Luoli walked to the door, spoke with the Guard and then returned to Feng Lingxi's bed. Seeing her tears still flowing, she said, "Don't cry, crying too much isn't good for your eyes. I have news about Dugu City. Do you want to hear it"

"Good, or bad"

Feng Lingxi tried hard to quell the pain in her heart, her voice a little hoarse.

"There's a secret realm beneath the water, with a vortex that leads to another exit. That means he's still alive."

"Really"

Feng Ling xi opened her eyes, but the tears at the corner of her eyes flowed even more fiercely.

"I've sent someone to scout it out, I can guarantee that."

"Then why was there no news for two days"

Feng Ling's voice trembled slightly. Thinking that she hadn't told Dugu Cheng's child about this, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe.

How could she possibly tell Dugu City that she had aborted their unborn child

Luo Li looked into her eyes filled with tears and handed her a handkerchief, "It should be the third day. You've had a fever for a day and a night."

Feng Lingxi looked outside, wanting to get up, but Luo Li stopped her.

"If you want to go down the mountain sooner, just rest well and wait until your body is better. I'll send someone to take you down the mountain then."

Feng Lingxi lay back down again, “Could you possibly help me deliver a letter to Linxi County”

Shadow Six went out and hasn't returned yet, she really can't rest easy.

"Shadow Six is back, if you have anything, send her to handle it."

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, seeing him nod, she hurriedly said, "Quickly call her over."

Yingliu entered, seeing the pale and bloodless face of the Saintess. After bowing, he stood aside, “Your Highness, the King of Linxi County has not been found yet, but they have been continuously sending people to search for him.”

"Yingliu, please go to the Chao of Huangxia for me."

Feng Lingxi bit her lip, sat up, and Yingliu quickly stepped forward to help her sit down, nodding.

Wind Ling took the Zi Xing from her neck and gave it to Ying Liu. "Take this to find Huang Xia Chao's prince, Hu Fang Qing Yun, and ask him to come to Lin Xi County. I want to see him."

"Your body..."

"It takes several days to travel back and forth from here to Aoshu. I have enough time to rest."tent of the Xia Dynasty towards the Yuan Dynasty. Let her realize the crisis, there's no need to take the initiative. Just wait for my news."Feng Lingxi instructed, looking at the woman beside him, "...
