Emperor and his court think this way too. Many people want Feng Lingxi dead, not just me. Sixth Prince wants her dead even more than I do."Feng Yi Xuan's eyes narrowed, the killing intent in his gaze..."A task to suppress bandits and achieve merit"

"Didn't the Queen know" Xiaoli asked in surprise, "How come the King wouldn't tell the Queen about this" No wonder the Queen didn't want to sleep with him now.

He didn't tell me.

This Dugu City actually helped her deal with the Liu family. She mentioned it that day, but she didn't expect him to have already made arrangements. She was still planning how to get Feng Yixuan out, it seems Dugu City took the lead before her.

"The Lord is truly foolish, not telling his Lady Wife about such a thing. How could she know of his efforts"

Feng Lingxi's eyes turned cold, "Xiaoli, you send a message to my mother, tell her to give up the housekeeper's authority. I will go back and see her after I finish my work."

Although my mother's health is not good, this house manager is still very efficient.

"This servant will go right away."

The General's Mansion matter was left to Xiao Li to handle, but this hairpin incident just kept getting bigger and bigger. When the Empress learned of Feng Ling Xi's attitude, she flew into a rage. Princess Zhao Ran stood on the side, her hands clenched tightly around her handkerchief in anger.

"Mother, this Feng Lingxi is not someone easy to deal with. The Fourth Prince has been controlled by her completely, and even Your Highness is under her influence. In his dream, he keeps calling for her. If you try to take action against Feng Lingxi now, Your Highness will stop you. And if the others find out, they will also intervene. In that case, Empress Dowager will end up with nothing."

The Empress gave a cold glance. "If you put in some effort, you could make Yan'er think of Feng Lingxi. It’s your own fault for not being able to capture a man's heart that you blame my son."

When Princess Zhao heard the Empress's rebuke, she hurriedly knelt down and trembled as she explained, "Your Majesty, please forgive your humble servant. Your servant will surely remember your teachings and follow His Highness well."

The Empress let out a cold snort, “This Palace has no time for your affairs. This jade hairpin incident is of your own making, so you must handle it yourself. This Palace will offer you no assistance.”

If she were half as clever as Feng Ling, she wouldn't be so angry. She would not have been defeated by Feng Ling and lost so badly.

In this imperial harem, the only one who could rival her was a noble concubine. Now with Feng Lingxi's arrival, the noble concubine is empowered like a tiger with wings. Dealing with her afterward will be even more difficult, she must accelerate her pace and hasten the prince's ascension to the throne.

"My mother's teachings instilled in me the resolve to handle this matter properly."

Princess Zhaoran bid farewell to the Empress, and from afar she saw Feng Lingxi entering the palace. Just now, Feng Lingxi had been scolded by her mother. At this moment, she really wanted to go over and scold her.

But when she thought of what her mother had said, she held back.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng arrived at the emperor's palace to pay their respects. The emperor asked a few questions, then dismissed all the eunuchs and maidservants.

Du Gu Cheng stood at the doorway, keeping watch for them, while Feng Ling Xi was checking the emperor's pulse. After checking the pulse, Feng Ling Xi said, "Your Majesty's condition has improved considerably. Continue taking the medicine, and in a few days, your daughter-in-law will come again to check on you."

After taking the medicine, I feel much lighter. I believe you will definitely cure me, my dear.

Feng Lingxi responded, though she claimed the toxins in her body were being purged, she still felt uneasy. One misstep and everything would be lost; she couldn't afford to lose, after all.

"Your Majesty's body is being well taken care of. Once the toxins are completely purged, Your Majesty will be fine."

The emperor was very pleased with Feng Lingxi's medical skills. He never expected his daughter-in-law to be such a skilled doctor, which made things much easier for him.

"Your Majesty, regarding the jade hairpin incident, your daughter-in-law wishes to apologize to Empress Dowager. After all, it was because of your daughter-in-law that the jade hairpin broke."

"It's just a jade hairpin, isn't it I'll bestow ten jade hairpins upon the Empress later. However, those who hurt you mustn't be let off lightly. I must punish them severely and see if there is still any law in their eyes."

To rely on being a relative of the emperor to bully his daughter-in-law like this, does he still have any regard for himself as the emperor

Feng Lingxi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked the emperor's grace. With her father emperor's words, she didn't have to worry about Empress Yuchai reporting her.

"Your Majesty, this concubine will go and apologize to the Empress first."

"Xier, what did you do wrong that you have to apologize to the Empress"

When Shu Fei walked in and heard Feng Lingxi’s words, her brows furrowed with displeasure. This wasn't her fault at all, so why should she apologize

Feng Lingxi hurriedly curtsied to Shu Fei, "My daughter-in-law greets Mother Empress."

Shufei supported her, "You silly child, this isn't your fault. Why are you going to apologize to the Empress This hairpin was bestowed by the Emperor, and the Emperor himself said he doesn't blame you. Why do you have to take all of this upon yourself"

"My mother is right, this isn't your fault. This prince has already handed them over to the Empress, it's also an explanation for her." In short, he wouldn't allow Xi'er to apologize to the Empress.

"Er, come play chess with me."

The Emperor spoke, and Shu Fei pulled Feng Lingxi out. "Xier, accompany your mother to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Suddenly being pushed away by the Emperor and her mother, Feng Ling Xi felt an ominous premonition sweep over her heart.

"Xier, do you know why your father would keep you away"

Feng Ling Xi, hearing her mother concubine's question, thought of what Duke Gucheng had said just now. Could it be that those words displeased the emperor Duke Gucheng was so protective of her, the emperor must have been worried.

"As my daughter-in-law, I am foolish and hope that Mother Empress will guide me."

Shufei glanced at her, "If Xi'er were foolish, how could she have handled this matter so well"

Feng Lingxi was taken aback and hurriedly knelt down, "Mother concubine, the daughter-in-law knows she was wrong..."

Shufei helped her up, “Get up, at least you are the Fourth Royal Wife, kneeling down every now and then, this palace is very disappointed in you.”

Feng Lingxi's body stiffened. Would she be willing to kneel down

"Mother's teachings, Xi-er has remembered."

Shu Fei pulled her aside and looked at the caution in her eyes, "Mother knows you haven't been happy these past few days. This Crown Princess often seeks you out. Mother wants to remind you, being close with the Crown Princess isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there are some things you have to be extremely careful about, don't get yourself involved."

"The daughter-in-law remembers, thank you, Mother Empress, for your teachings."

The concubine nodded. If she truly let go and acted, not even the Crown Princess, let alone the Empress, would be her match. But Xi'er had no desire for power struggles, which was also her most admirable quality. A woman like her could live happily with Cheng'er.

"Fourth Princess Consort, the Empress requests your presence."

Feng Lingxi and Shu Fei chatted for a while, then a maidservant from the Empress's side came to invite her over.

"Xier, after you've finished talking with the Empress, come back and have dinner with your father and mother."

"The daughter-in-law obeys."

Looking at her mother's hints, Feng Lingxi's heart pounded. Could the empress be looking for her to settle a score

Otherwise, how would the Empress Dowager have told her to accompany the Emperor and Empress for a meal

Wind Lingxi didn't dare to think too much, following the palace maid to the Empress. When the Empress saw Wind Lingxi, she stood up and looked her up and down.

"Doctor Liu."with her. If she couldn't guarantee a victory in terms of combat power, she could only use the medicinal powder. It wouldn't be fatal, but it would disable them.Feng Ling Xi's preparations this time w...
