you know why so many people in the martial world are chasing after you It wasn’t done by this empress, but by Feng Yu Xi.”"Could I believe that The Empress Dowager is smearing her and whitewashing he...Du Gucheng pulled Feng Lingxi down to sit beside him, took the roasted mutton and offered it to her, his eyes full of worry. "Eat more, don't starve yourself."

"Sister, haven't you had dinner yet"

Feng Lingxi responded, watching Feng Yu Mo's face change instantly. She quickly said, "I was rushing here just now and got delayed. It's fine to eat now, besides, it's not too late yet, so we won't starve."

"Sister, you're a doctor, how could you not know this is bad for your body No matter how urgent something is, you still have to take care of your stomach and not let it go hungry."

Feng Yu Mo's tone was like an elder lecturing, giving Feng Ling Xi a good scolding. Feng Ling Xi nodded repeatedly, her head bowed as she ate the grilled meat in her hand, not daring to retort a single word. She was truly hungry; she hadn't eaten much at noon, and it was so late now, her stomach ached with hunger.

"Yumo, see if there's any mutton soup and serve a bowl for Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi eating meat, his face full of tenderness, he reached out to wipe the oil from the corner of her mouth, Feng Ling Xi smiled back and continued eating.

I'm going to have some hot soup.

Gu Li hurriedly stood up, Feng Yu Mo looked at his sister, his eyes full of blame, but more of heartache.

"Yǔmò, has Sūnchéng returned"

After eating a piece of meat, Feng Lingxi's stomach felt much better. She asked, "That day when I ordered Sun Cheng to take care of things, he didn't come back with you guys. It has been several days since the incident in Tu Mu Town ended, he should be here by now."

Feng Yu Mo hurriedly got up, "Sister and brother-in-law, please eat first. I'll go verify something and be back soon."

"This kid, Yu Mo, is quite capable. He's sure to become a general someday."

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi and Feng Yu Mo leave. He knew Feng Ling Xi truly treated Feng Yu Mo as her own brother, and he had been watching Feng Yu Mo as well. Feng Yu Mo was brave and intelligent, never arrogant or rash, he just needed proper guidance.

"This ink feather should be like his mother. Think about it, if it were like Feng Aotian, who knows what kind of..."

"Actually, Feng Aotian isn't that bad. He's quite capable, it's just that he cares too much about fame and fortune. If not for that, he wouldn't be in this situation now."

Feng Lingxi agreed with Dugu Cheng's words. If Feng Aotian wasn't so preoccupied and could treat everyone equally, with a son like Yu Mo, he would have nothing to worry about in terms of bringing honor to the family.

Feng Yixuan and Feng Yumo are different. Feng Yixuan now has no ambition at all, he just wants to live an ordinary life and doesn't want to know about the past.

"He is unable to face his past."

Dugu City lowered her head. Gu Li served her a bowl of mutton soup and sat beside them, listening to their talk about Feng Yumo. She was interested in everything about Feng Yumo and wanted to hear it all.

"Sister, General Sun is here."

Sun Cheng arrived with his brothers, the dust of their journey still clinging to them. Upon seeing Feng Lingxi and Dugu City, they quickly bowed in greeting.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Lord and Lady."

"General Sun, you needn't be so formal."

Dugu Cheng gestured for them all to sit down, "Haven't you eaten yet Have some."

"Thank you, Lord."

Sun Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness, I just arrived in the city this evening. I went to Chen Wangfu and didn't see the Royal Consort. When I learned that the Royal Consort had come to the military camp, I hurried over."

"Have you finished everything I assigned you"

Feng Lingxi nodded, inquiring about the affairs of Tumu Town. Sun Cheng grinned, "Everything has been done according to the princess's wishes."

"Very good, have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, help me make ten firecrackers, and we'll go bandits later."

"Suppress bandits"

Sun Cheng's eyes lit up, "Princess Consort, you just said you would take us with you"

He couldn't have heard wrong, could he Was the Princess planning to task them with something

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, looking at Sun Cheng's shocked expression, "What Not happy"

Sun Cheng hurriedly waved his hand, looking at Dugu City beside him, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm happy. It's just that I'm a little surprised. The princess didn't usually bring us along before."

獨孤城看著孫成的憨笑模樣，乾咳兩聲，孫成連忙道，“王妃，情況緊急嗎？要不要末將讓兄弟們連夜趕出來，早點端了匪寇窩子。”

"No need to rush this half-day meeting, you all must be tired from your journey. Take a rest for the night and we'll finish it tomorrow morning. Compared to before, this batch of gunpowder needs to be more refined. I will work alongside you tomorrow."

Sun Cheng, hearing this, realized the importance of this matter to the princess. He hurriedly assured her, "This subordinate will definitely make exquisite gunpowder."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, looking at the soldiers beside him, "Eat more, after we finish eating, we'll rest early."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's concerned gaze, watching them eat happily. With all this barbecue, they ate it all up. Xi'er only ate a little; she definitely wasn't full.

Holding my breath, yet unable to speak.

After all, Sun Cheng and the others had just returned from completing their mission. It wouldn't be right to let the soldiers go hungry.

"Your Highness, this subordinate will take them down to rest first. We shall start work early tomorrow morning."

Sun Cheng bowed to Feng Lingxi and turned to Dugu City, respectfully saying, "Your Highness, this general will take his leave."

Although he belongs to the Princess's control, this is still the King's domain, and respect is still due.

"Xier, are you full yet"

Looking at the almost empty plate of barbecue on the shelf, Dugu City looked at Xi'er's slender body with worry in his eyes.

"This king will get you some more food." He got up, but Feng Lingxi pulled him back.

“I am full, not hungry.”

"They ate all the grilled meat just now, and the Princess only ate one piece of meat. Isn't she hungry" Guli also felt that the Princess wasn't full. She had already eaten several pieces of meat and several bowls of soup. Hearing the Princess say she wasn't hungry, her face was full of disbelief.

"Guli, come out with me for a bit."

Feng Yu Mo pulled Gu Li up and looked at Du Gu Cheng, "Brother-in-law, sister, you wait for us a moment."

Feng Lingxi nodded. In this military camp, the soldiers on night watch didn't eat much that night. She had already eaten a piece of meat which was good enough for her.

The bonfire crackled merrily. Feng Lingxi sat beside Dugucheng, the night wind blowing against them, still somewhat chilly.

Feng Lingxi sneezed, and Dugu City got up and sat beside her, pulling her into his arms. "Xi'er, why don't you go back to the camp and sleep for a while I'll bring you some food later."

Wind Ling Xi chuckled softly, “I’m full. I want to talk to you about this encirclement. This strategist, I guess he’s very likely from my hometown. If I hadn’t been able to tame him, and if he remained hostile towards me, there might be a battle.”

Feng Lingxi analyzed, the smile on her face gradually faded, becoming serious.

Dugu City nodded, "This king knows. Leave the matter of war to this king. If he truly refuses to negotiate with you, we'll just raze this village."

"I'm interested in his bombs."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City and complained dissatisfiedly, "You always just say you'll beat me up. These weapons made with gunpowder are incredibly powerful. If we really fight, there will be countless casualties. This isn't a joke."
