the meal, Feng Lingxi ate with a happy heart. Zhao Shi, however, didn't eat a single bite, just watching Feng Lingxi eat."Grandpa, can you play chess with me later I don't want to sleep."Feng Lingxi...Feng Yu Xi hooked her lips into a smile. "Fourth Princess, aren't you standing here just fine So what else can this palace say If you want to frame someone, there's no excuse needed. What more, your status is noble, even if it were my father, you wouldn't take him seriously. Whatever you say goes."
Feng Lingxi clenched her fists in anger, looking at the mocking expression in Feng Yu Xi's eyes, she took a deep breath.
"Fourth Royal Consort, please return. General's Residence doesn't welcome you. Today, I don't want to argue with you, but the death of Rong Noble Consort, and the matter of her unborn child, I will definitely investigate clearly. I will absolutely not spare the murderer."
Feng Lingxi heard this, her eyes swept over Feng Yu Xi beside her, and said coldly, "You're right, today is not the day to argue. Regarding Long Gui Fei's pregnancy, even if you didn't investigate, I would find out the truth behind this."
"Is the Fourth Princess trying to clear her own name Or is she just covering things up"
The smile on Feng Yu's lips in the fading light was cold, and the afterglow fell upon Feng Aotian's body. His eyes held a look that was hard to fathom.
Feng Lingxi was fine; her purpose in coming today was simply to remind Feng Aotian that there were some things he didn't need to bear, lest Feng Yuxi succeed.
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean. There is no deep hatred between Long Guifei and me. It's Your Majesty, who dares to say that you didn't poison her to secure your position as the Empress She was carrying a child, posing no threat to me, but she did to Your Majesty..."
Before Feng Ling Xi could finish her words, Feng Ao Tian angrily rebuked her.
"Enough, today is not a day for arguing."
Feng Aotian's aversion to Feng Lingxi, Feng Lingxi read it in his eyes, but she really couldn't leave now.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Lingxi watched Feng Yu Xi walk into the General's Mansion and started to follow, but Feng Ao Tian stopped her, "The Fourth Princess doesn't have to go in, the General's Mansion is not welcoming you today, and in the future, the Fourth Princess needn't come again."
"Why are you not welcoming my woman Could it be that General Feng and Xi'er have severed their father-daughter relationship"
The sound of Du Gucheng made Feng Lingxi's body tremble. She turned to look at Du Gucheng walking towards her. She knew that Du Gucheng had something on his mind today, and she didn't expect him to come here.
When Feng Lingxi was bullied, a cold look appeared on Dugu City's handsome face. The suppressed anger forced Feng Aotiān to bow to Dugu City. Now, Dugu City’s status in the court is truly second only to the emperor, above all others.
The emperor's change of attitude left the court bewildered. He not only entrusted him with the command of 500,000 troops but also seemed intent on transferring all other military power to him. The title of General who Guards the Nation was withheld for reasons pertaining to him.
Feng Aotien was extremely displeased with Dugu Cheng, but he dared not show it, nor did he dare to offend him.
The news I got a few days ago is that the emperor has allowed Du Gucheng's troops to move freely in and out, even Feng Ling Xi’s incident failed to affect his status in court. He was even secretly promoted and trusted more.
Feng Lingxi naturally didn't know these things, but Feng Aotiao knew clearly. The empress had investigated thoroughly. The situation on the side of the Third Prince was also under great pressure. Throughout the court, Dugu City had already begun to purge officials who were colluding with the empress.
He hasn't been touched because of his status, to save face for him.
"How did the Four Kings come here"
Feng Aotien spoke with a hint of forbearance in his voice. He had heard that he was going out of the city to handle business today.
Feng Aotien looked at Feng Lingxi's surprise, reached out and pulled her in front of him, his eyes full of heartache and reproach, "How could you come to General's Mansion without telling this king, and let you stand outside and not let you in."
"It took me a lot of effort to get the Empress Dowager to agree to let me leave the palace to mourn for Princess Long. Now that the matter is still unclear, it's understandable that my father would blame me."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yuxi standing at the door. She stared at her, hearing her words, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I didn't expect that Fourth Princess now also learned these thoughts. It seems that she is becoming more and more like a woman in the inner court."
Compared to the Empress, Xi'er is naturally far inferior. However, it is precisely because of this that this King likes her even more.
Feng Yu Xi let out a cold snort, "What brings the Fourth Prince to the General's Mansion when he can't even handle his own affairs Today, the General's Mansion has no time to cater to the Fourth Prince."
"I didn't come here intending to argue with the Empress."
Dugu Cheng finished speaking and looked at Feng Lingxi, "Xi'er, this king will accompany you in to burn incense. We'll return to the palace early later, and leave the rest to this king."
"Okay."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's tightly clenched hand, allowing him to lead her into the General's Mansion. Feng Aotian dared not stop Dugu Cheng and gave a glance to Feng Yu Xi. Just as Feng Yu Xi was about to speak, he saw the soldiers behind Dugu Cheng quickly step forward to clear a path, directly blocking them and pulling Feng Lingxi into the main hall of the General's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, what shall we do"
Feng Aotian walked to Feng Yu Xi's side, watching Dugu Cheng take Feng Ling Xi inside and hurriedly asked for help.
Feng Yu Xi Leng said, "Let them burn incense, we'll be leaving soon."
Anyway, Feng Lingxi came here and couldn't talk to Feng Aotiantian. As for the rest, she would handle it herself. Dugu Cheng really thought he could cover the sky with one hand This harem was under her control. As long as Feng Lingxi was in the harem, she could send her back to the prison.
Feng Lingxi gave Feng Linglong incense after finishing, sighed, and came out with Dugu City.
"She's such an idiot, she just threw her life away like that."
Dugu City held her hand and comforted, “Don’t think so much, just be true to yourself.”
Feng Lingxi nodded, she was indeed innocent of any wrongdoing. Feng Yixuan and Feng Lingyu were both alive, the only one who truly died was herself, Feng Linglong. She didn't even know why she had ended up in this situation. Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and grasped Dugu Cheng's arm, her eyes filled with worry. "Your injuries..."
"I'm fine."
Dugu Cheng pulled her hand down, motioning for her to calm down.
Feng Lingxi took out a few bottles from her bosom and handed them to him, "These are for you, keep them on you for protection. They're all labelled inside."
獨孤城收好，看著她略顯蒼白的臉色，“等我忙完，本王親自去接你。”
Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, and walked out with Dugu City. Feng Yu Xi and Feng Aotien were watching them, the coldness and disdain in their eyes fell into Feng Lingxi's eyes. Feng Lingxi walked past them with Feng Aotien by her side.
“Are you really going to cut me off”
"Could it be that you still think I would want a daughter like you You've ruined such a good family."
Feng Lingxi lowered her head and took out the imperial decree from Empress Dowager that she had given her, and handed it to Feng Aotiand. "As you wish, starting today, our father-daughter relationship is over. This is the Empress Dowager's document, please keep it well."
Feng Lingxi presented the document to Feng Aotian, kneeling before him. She kowtowed three times, then rose and looked at him with cold eyes. "General Feng, if you truly desire revenge, come."n read with relish. She recognized only part of it, but wasn't sure if the content was what she had in mind."Most of them I recognize, but some are unclear if they're the same as the herbs we know."Li...
