or even a single step."Dugu Cheng coldly ordered, "Ye Xi, you don't need to worry about me.""What nonsense are you talking about"Ye Xi scratched her head and hurriedly said, "This subordinate will go..."Little Li, just let me follow you. The princess's current situation is very dangerous. If you are slow, the princess will disappear. What if something happens to the princess then Can you bear the responsibility"

Xiaoli hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and Ye Xi hurriedly grabbed her hand. "Quickly catch up, don't let the Princess walk alone."

"Let go of me."

Little Li angrily swatted his hand away. Night Xi hurriedly apologized, "Little Li, don't you remember that it was because of a shortage of manpower that the princess fell off the cliff before Don't you want the princess to be in danger again"

Stepping on her sore spot, Xiaoli said coldly, "You follow behind me, but don't get too close."

After finishing her words, she quickly caught up to the princess and didn't want to walk with Ye Xi.

Ye Xi let out a breath, finally completing the task.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli who had caught up, and asked faintly, "Did you get rid of him"

"I can't get rid of him, so I won't let him near us."

Feng Lingxi's lips curled into a slight smile. "Xiao Li, how long have you been with me"

Suddenly asked about this, Xiaoli panicked. The princess's question today was so sharp.

"I have served the young mistress since I was a child."

Then you should know everything that's happened to me from childhood to now

Xiao Li glanced at the princess, “Yes.”

"Then tell me, why did I fall off the cliff Who framed me"

"She is the third sister of the young lady, she designed to frame the young lady, forcing the young lady to jump off a cliff."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes held a chilling intent. Feng Yu Xi, indeed it had been a while since she'd heard that name. If she hadn't remembered, perhaps this woman would have gone unpunished for the rest of her life.

She still vividly remembered the incident of her fall from the cliff.

"Where is she now What is her status"

Now, Third Miss is an Imperial Noble Consort because of her merits in eliminating the young lady. She has been promoted from a Noble Consort to an Imperial Noble Consort, receiving imperial grace and favor.

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Xiao Li as she told the truth. The fear in her eyes was genuine. It seemed this girl was loyal to her. She had seen through her deception before, so she wouldn't hold it against her anymore.

"Xiao Li, can I still trust you"

Feng Lingxi suddenly voiced her concerns, saying truthfully, she really needed a partner who would live and die with her. Only then would she dare to take a gamble and go all out. Although Dugucheng was a possibility, his nature differed from Xiaoli's.

"Miss, if you believe it, then believe it. If you don't believe it, then don't."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Xiaoli, a smile curling her lips. "This is profound and intriguing."

"Slave girl dares to ask a question, Miss, have you recovered your memories"

"Why are you asking that"

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept across the surroundings, landing on the winehouse not far away. "The dishes at that winehouse are pretty good. I'm a bit hungry, let's eat something."

Xiao Li hurried to keep up, looking at the current demeanor of the princess, "The servant girl feels that the young lady's current demeanor is very similar to that of before. The servant girl speculates that the young lady has already recovered her memory"

So what

Feng Lingxi turned her head and glanced at Xiao Li. Seeing her stunned expression, she added, "So what if it is"

"Miss, I have served you for over ten years. I am certain, you are now the Fourth Princess Consort, not Lin Xi."

Xiao Li gritted her teeth and made a bet, she believed in her feelings. The Princess must have regained her memory. Only the Princess could have such an air of nobility. The Princess after losing her memory wouldn't smile like this, nor would she speak to her like this.

"Help me keep it a secret."

Wind Ling Xi said a word, Xiao Li was overjoyed, “This servant obeys.”

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes swept over the surroundings. There was no one following, she took Xiaoli into the tavern and found a seat, ordering a table full of dishes.

"Your Highness."

"Here, you can still call me Miss. Dugu City doesn't know yet, besides you, only Huangfu Qingyun knows that I have recovered my memory."

Little Li, hearing the princess's confession, quickly said, "The servant understands. Miss, please rest assured that if there is anything the servant can do, just speak up. The servant will even risk their life to complete it for the miss."

"Don't be ridiculous, nobody wants you to risk your life."

Feng Lingxi knew Xiaoli was so desperate, it was because she blamed herself for not protecting her when she fell off the cliff. In fact, she knew very well in her heart that Xiaoli wasn't to blame for the fall. She could have waited for their rescue. It was just that a soldier fell and happened to hit her. To put it simply, her fate was destined to fall once.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat something first, and then I'll take you for a walk."

Feng Lingxi watched as the waiter served the dishes and winked at Xiao Li. She came to this restaurant just to see if Yao Feifei was here. Since she didn't see her, she would go for a walk. Only then could she attract their attention.

Xiaoli responded and, watching the Queen's gaze sweep around, felt reassured. This was the Queen she knew. It seemed the Queen was planning to lure the snake out of its hole.

"Go get him to join us for a meal, anyway we can't finish it all."

Feng Lingxi's eyes caught sight of Ye Xi sitting not far away. She probably didn't hear their conversation.

Xiao Li walked over at the sound, Ye Xi jumped up in fright and tensed her body.

"The Queen wants you to come have a meal."

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

"Ms. Wang…"

Ye Xi met Feng Lingxi's piercing gaze, her voice stammering slightly.

"Don't get too close."

Feng Lingxi spoke, looking at Ye Xi's forehead that was covered in cold sweat. Was she this frightening

Ye Xi forced out a smile, "This subordinate will obey."

"Have a bite."

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and continued eating. Ye Xi sat opposite her, clearly feeling the aura of the princess reappear. He would rather die than believe that the princess had not recovered her memories. This aura was too familiar; only the princess possessed it. The amnesia-stricken princess wouldn't have this.

"Are you afraid of me"

Feng Ling Xi narrowed her eyes, Ye Xi hearing Feng Ling Xi's voice, straightened his back, and shook his head like a rattle.

"There are none under me."

"Then what are you shivering for"

Ye Xi hurriedly shook her head, but her hand trembled violently because of the princess's words, and she couldn't even hold the chopsticks steady.

He also felt that he was pathetic. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was terrified of the princess, especially the current one. If she didn't smile, it was fine, but when she did, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Ye Xi, did you hear what I just said to Xiao Li"

"None of the subordinates had heard."

Ye Xi hurriedly raised her hand and swore, meeting Feng Ling Xi's gaze, instantly deflated, and nodded.

"You should know I don't want Dugu City to know I've recovered my memories right now."

Ye Xi raised her head and hurriedly spoke for the King, "Your Highness, actually, the King truly misses you. The day he learned about your fall, he went to fight with Sixth Prince, almost killing him. After returning, he was severely injured and delirious with fever for three days. In order to come find you as soon as possible, the King arranged everything and rushed here. You don't know how much hardship he endured on the way, but I saw it all." he turned to look at the empty space behind him. He hurried to push aside the civil and military officials and went over to inquire. Upon learning that Feng Lingxi had left the palace, he immediately...
