Chapter 293: Seizing Power 48

I were to speak, would you grant me forgiveness"Feng Lingxi hurriedly knelt down. The Empress looked at Feng Linglong and said faintly, "You speak, this palace will pardon you.""Thank you, Your Majes..."Miss, actually..."

Several people walked over to their side and sat in the seats next to them. Leading the group was a very beautiful woman holding a sword. With a fierce expression on her face, she slammed the sword onto the table and angrily said, "I didn't expect that old woman would still send people to chase us. She killed my grandfather and wants to catch me."

"Ma'am, please speak softly, someone might be listening over the wall."

The old man beside the young girl reminded her, his eyes sweeping over the surroundings and landing on Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli. Xiaoli hurriedly served dishes to the princess, pretending not to know anything. These people were being hunted down, so it was best for them to stay out of it and avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

This young girl was Yao Feifei who escaped from the Yao Clan. These were the people her grandfather, Yao Qing, arranged for her. They had been on the run all this way and finally reached a place where they could rest. She couldn't vent her feelings; she was deeply troubled inside.

"What are you afraid of Are we going to run into her here Just wait until I get the Purple Star, and see how I deal with that old hag."

Xiaoli's eyes lit up upon hearing Zixing. Looking at the princess who was eating by herself, she showed no reaction whatsoever to Yao Feifei's words, seeming completely oblivious to Zixing.

But that's alright, the Princess doesn't know, at least she is safe for now.

The news about Zi Xing is spreading, with people from the Great Yuan Dynasty searching for her. Even the Yao clan's traitors are looking for her now. Xiao Li's worries grow deeper with each passing day. The princess has amnesia and knows nothing about what's going on. She fears that even the Crown Prince of this desolate Xia dynasty might be taking advantage of her.

"This Zi Xing is now in Yao Wan Ying's daughter's hands. As long as we find that woman and take back Zi Xing, the Yao clan will be mine."

Yao Feifei clenched her fist, the fierce look in her eyes causing those who followed her to show worry.

"Miss, please lower your voice, someone might be listening."

"Alright, I get it, whatever."

Yao Feifei was very agitated, looking at the several of them, "You were all brought up by grandfathers, I trust your martial arts, whoever dares to eavesdrop on me, I will kill them all, I want to see who dares to eavesdrop."

"Miss, watch your language." The elderly man sitting beside Yao Feifei's face darkened slightly. Yao Feifei pouted in displeasure, but she still gave the old man face and didn't continue talking.

"The current situation is delicate and shouldn't be publicized. Once we get the Purple Star, you can do whatever you want. But right now, you must endure. Your grandfather risked his life to buy you this freedom, don't disappoint him."

"Grandpa Hao, Fei Fei knows she was wrong and won't talk nonsense again."

Xiaoli listened to their voices and secretly peeked with her eyes. There were about eight people in total. Besides the elder beside Yao Feifei, the rest were young men and women.

"Xiaoli, I'm full." Feng Lingxi hurriedly pushed the food in front of her, seeing that Xiaoli wasn't eating. "Xiaoli, you eat quickly, don't just listen to people talk, after you're full, go back home."

"Miss..."

When the princess said this, Xiao Li secretly cried out in pain. Yao Feifei and others from the next table got up and walked to their table. Feng Lingxi looked at them with a confused expression, wanting to step forward, but was protected by Xiao Li behind her.

"You said she's been listening to us the whole time"

Yao Feifei looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her stunning face, a fire surged up in her. She hated most when someone was prettier than her.

Feng Lingxi, seeing Yao Feifei so fierce, was frightened and quickly backed away. She grabbed Xiao Li's arm and looked at Yao Feifei and the others with timid eyes. The fear in her eyes made Yao Feifei look down on her.

"My young mistress has hurt her head, so please excuse any oddness in my speech."

Xiao Li bowed and apologized.

Yao Feifei walked up to Feng Lingxi, reached out and lifted her chin, letting out a cold snort. "You're so beautiful, I can't believe you're such an idiot. It's really a shame."

"Who did you call stupid"

Xiaoli glared at Yao Feifei, "Miss, my young lady is injured. Why do you have to hurt her with your words"

Yao Feifei glanced at Feng Lingxi and said disdainfully, "Did I say anything wrong Isn't she acting like an idiot now"

"Fifi, we should go."

The elderly man beside Yao Feifei tugged at her arm, signaling her to stop causing trouble. They had only just managed to escape from the Yao clan, and if they made a bigger fuss, let the Yao clan's spies find out, they would be in deep trouble.

"Who did you call an idiot"

Feng Lingxi was angry, she walked up to Xiaoli's face and angrily said, "Although I have amnesia, I am not stupid. I can see that you are not a good person."

"Miss, don't argue with her."

Xiaoli hurriedly shielded Feng Lingxi behind her, afraid that Yao Feifei would hurt her. Now they were fugitives, and they couldn't fight them head-on.

Yao Feifei also wanted to say, but was hushed by an elderly person beside her who whispered, "If we keep this up, we won't be able to leave."

"Grandpa Hao, it's clearly this fool..."

"Presumptuous!"

A cold voice came, followed by hurried footsteps. Huangfu Qingyun's personal guard, Li Nuo, arrived with his troops, surrounding Yao Feifei and the others. Looking at Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li, he hurriedly bowed, "Miss, are you alright"

Feng Lingxi pointed at Yao Feifei, angrily saying, "She called me an idiot. I just have amnesia, and she..."

"Even like this, you still say you're not stupid With you like this, what man would want you"

After Yao Feifei finished speaking, Feng Lingxi was so angry that she raised her hand and made a gesture to hit Yao Feifei. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and the purple star pendant on her chest swayed, emitting a purple light, which happened to be seen by Yao Feifei, who was stunned for a moment.

"Miss."

Little Li hurried to stand before Feng Lingxi, supporting her and hiding the purple star on her neck. Her heart was pounding with anxiety, wouldn't these people see the purple star

Feng Ling xi supported her head, "Xiao Li, my head is spinning."

"Please help Miss back to rest."

Xiaoli instructed Li Nuo to escort them back home. As they left, she couldn't help but glance at Yao Feifei and noticed that her gaze was fixed on the princess. This only deepened Xiaoli's unease.

"Grandpa Hao, that stupid woman seems to be wearing Purple Star."

Yao Feifei came to her senses and hurriedly pulled Grandpa Hao, saying, “I really saw that purple light. It was exactly the same as the one Grandpa showed me when I was little. She really seems to have a Purple Star.”

"You mean she's the Saintess"

Grandpa Hao squinted his eyes, looking at the group that had already walked far away, "That's not right, if this Saintess were in Xia Dynasty, why didn't the Holy Lord bring her back"

“Just now, the maidservant by her side said she had amnesia, didn't she She must be here because of the amnesia. Look at how clueless she is! Why don't we just wait here and find an opportunity to snatch Zi Xing away together”elationship between Dugu Xiu and Dugu City isn't an alliance. Once Dugu Xiu becomes emperor, he will definitely be detrimental to Dugu City and herself. At that time, no matter what happens, they won...
