ce tinged with sarcasm. "Fourth Princess Consort, what you said is quite interesting. This noble consort was just passing by to greet you. Is that now not allowed in the eyes of the current Fourth Pri..."Your Majesty, Aman's just like that. She worries about the Holy Lord's safety. Don't take it to heart."

Feng Lingxi nodded, gazing at the sky outside with dimmed eyes.

"Little Li, where do you think Mother would be"

Near the pool of water at the bottom of the cliff, or...

Feng Lingxi truly didn't dare to think about it. She hoped her mother could have a similar adventure like hers, but she was also afraid, afraid that her mother wouldn't have such an opportunity, and even more afraid that after her mother fell off the cliff, there would be nothing left.

With my eyes closed, the scene of her being driven to jump off a cliff by the wind and rain replays in my mind over and over again. In this world, surviving is truly too difficult.

If you want to survive, you must be stronger and crueler than them. Only then can you live and protect the people around you.

Before, she couldn't understand why there was so much fighting and killing, until she experienced it firsthand. Then she realized the horror of survival of the fittest.

"Your Highness, the Saintess has the divine protection. Perhaps she is waiting for us somewhere right now."

Feng Lingxi turned around and, seeing Xiaoli comforting her, gave her a slight smile.

"Xiao Li, thank you. Following me, you suffered."

Xiao Li stepped forward and hugged Feng Ling Xi's arm, "Your Highness, you mustn't say such things. Xiao Li following you is all because of the good fortune I cultivated in my previous life. As long as Your Highness is willing, Xiao Li is willing to follow you for a lifetime."

"After this, Little Li will be getting married."

Feng Lingxi patted her back, clearly feeling Xiaoli crying.

"I will not marry, I will serve the princess for my entire life."

"How is Ye Xi Ye Su is doing well, or..."

Dugu Cheng brought Ye Xi in. Hearing the princess's name, his body stiffened and he hurriedly stepped forward, smiling and asking, "Princess, did you call your subordinate because there is something good"

Xiao Li glared at Ye Xi, "I told you to catch the chicken."

Feng Lingxi watched Xiaoli's attitude towards Ye Xi, she couldn't help but shake her head. They were quite a cute couple.

Ye Xi glanced at the wind and snow outside and muttered softly, “The princess wouldn’t be so heartless. In this kind of blizzard, where would chickens come from”

"Who said there wasn't."

Luo Li walked over, her servants carrying behind her a wild chicken, three or four pounds, with long, beautiful feathers.

"I just heard a rooster crowing at the farmhouse, I was thinking of buying a chicken for dinner, but it turned out to be a white mountain chicken. It must have been injured by the snow, so I brought it back."

Feng Lingxi looked outside and suddenly asked, "Would there be any more nearby"

"My Queen, I shall go and have a look now."

Seeing the empress's eager eyes, Ye Xi hurried out. He didn't want the empress to run out; if she caught a cold later, the king would be worried again.

"The wind and snow are so heavy, it's the same if we go later."

Dugu Cheng blocked Ye Xi and looked at Luoli, "If this wind and snow lasts another night, it's likely we won't be able to travel tomorrow."

"Yeah, I've looked around here too. In winter, if you want to eat something good, you can only hope the weather gods are merciful."

"Well then, stay here for now and wait until the storm passes before we continue our journey."

Feng Lingxi nodded. With such heavy wind and snow, this was the only way.

As Dugu Cheng said, it snowed for a day and stopped the next day. However, the snow was too thick, and the carriages sank halfway into the snow. They couldn't move at all. But luckily, the weather cleared up. Judging by this situation, they might be able to leave in the afternoon.

"Aman, want to go for a walk"

Feng Lingxi looked at A Man curled up in the room. This whole journey, she hadn't been happy once, wishing she could immediately return to the cliff to find her mother.

Aman looked up at Feng Lingxi, his eyes hesitant. Xiao Li quickly stepped forward and pulled Aman up, "Come on, if you stay like this, you'll get sick."

But I don't want to go out.

Aman pushed Xiaoli's hand away and looked at Feng Lingxi, "Holy Lord..."

"Aman, I know you're worried about Mother, and so am I. But some worries are pointless. I've fallen off a cliff before, too, so I understand how you feel. It's like when I fell, everyone who cared about me was just as worried. I think Mother wouldn't want you to stay this way."

"Saintess, did you fall off a cliff"

Amman looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, his expression full of shock. Xiao Li hurriedly said on the side, "I'll tell you slowly later."

After finishing his story, he pulled Ah Man out and said as they walked, about the princess's fall from the cliff. Ah Man listened without a word.

Feng Lingxi trailed behind them, her thoughts drifting away.

"Xier, I'm taking you somewhere."

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Lingxi come out, and pulled her towards the courtyard of the farmhouse. He took Feng Lingxi to a place near the mountains, where it was all white and covered in snow.

"What brought you here To build a snowman"

獨孤城 shook his head and pointed to a snowdrift not far away. A white rabbit was trapped there, struggling.

"Dugu City, did you catch this"

Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward and pulled the little white rabbit out of the snow. It was very small, but its leg was injured.

"I just saw it, and I want you to save it."

"Why should I save you"

Feng Ling Xi hugged the little white rabbit, reaching out to touch its fur. It was so small. But why was it out On a day like this, with all the snow, wouldn't it be looking for food

"You are a physician, and, this King dislikes small animals."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, as if there was some truth to it.

"Even such a tiny one can't be eaten. Would you like to keep it by your side and raise it until the weather warms up before releasing it back"

Feng Lingxi glanced at the surrounding snow, "Well, let's take it back and treat it first. With it by my side, the road won't be so boring."

Seeing the smile on her face, Dugu City also let out a breath of relief.

At this rate, we might not even reach Linxi County in ten days.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's almost the New Year, and snowstorms are normal."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, thinking of how he used to spend his years on the battlefield. She couldn't help but feel heartache, "Back then, with such heavy wind and snow, how did you and your soldiers survive"

"Used to it, the soldiers are not so weak."

Dugu Cheng's clothes were always a bit less than those of ordinary aristocratic youths. It was probably because he had been fighting for years and was used to harsh weather. He had long gotten used to it.

"You're right, I'm just too weak."

"Gotta top that up."

Dugu Cheng glanced at the rabbit in her arms. Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "This one is not allowed."

"Ye Xi and Yu Mo went hunting, let's see if they have such luck to get some delicious food."

"Won't there be any danger"

She hadn't forgotten the assassins who were tracking them. If they ran into each other, the two of them would be in danger.

"Don't worry, those people disappeared two days ago. The people who left said it was because of the heavy snowstorm and they had to evacuate. Actually, this is a good thing, we can be more comfortable now."

Feng Lingxi let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. If we're going to assassinate him, let's wait for better weather. This snow is so thick, it comes up to our knees. There's not much ground to fight on."become a wife..."“I wouldn’t, I will serve the princess my whole life. As long as the princess doesn’t dislike me, I will be the princess’s person in life and the princess’s ghost in death.”Feng Lingx...
