This subordinate is not entirely clear about the extent of our losses. However, since the Sixth Prince sought our help, it must be a serious matter."Feng Lingxi's face suddenly changed, she suffered..."Noble Consort Xi, are you planning to hold me accountable for something"
Feng Lingxi didn't want to argue with her about trivial matters. As expected of a petty person, she was looking for an opportunity to teach her a lesson.
"Feng Yu Xi Mei's gaze swept over Feng Ling Xi's arrogant face, her voice tinged with sarcasm. "Fourth Princess Consort, what you said is quite interesting. This noble consort was just passing by to greet you. Is that now not allowed in the eyes of the current Fourth Princess Consort"
"Well, now that we've greeted each other, I should be going. The Empress is still waiting for me."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking and wanted to go around her to Shou'an Palace, but Feng Yu Xi got up and walked towards her, raising her hand to slap her down. Just as her hand was about to fall, Feng Lingxi reached out and grabbed it. Looking at her angry eyes, Feng Lingxi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she reminded her, "Feng Yu Xi, don't forget the lesson."
"Feng Lingxi, you think I came to see you unprepared today If you dare to resist, I'll kill your mother immediately."
Upon hearing her words, Feng Lingxi let out a cold laugh.
"Wind and rain, do you even have a brain Did you lose your mother or your brother When you threaten me, did you ever think about your own weaknesses"
When Feng Yu Xi was scolded like that, her face turned pale. Feng Ling Xi pushed her away and looked at the anger in her eyes, coldly reminding her, "Don't say I didn't warn you, even if you become the Empress, you won't be able to sit on the throne for long."
"What do you mean by that"
Wind and Rain yelled in fury, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you"
"I know the Emperor favors you now, but think about it, what if you are unable to bear children your whole life Do you think the Emperor would still want you, a woman who cannot give him an heir"
Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Yu Xi's astonished eyes, as if crazy, rushed to Feng Yu Xi's face, grabbed her collar and questioned, "Was it you who did something to me, making me unable to conceive a child so far Feng Yu Xi, you vicious woman, I curse you, be abandoned by Duke Gu, and never be able to have children for the rest of your life."
"Madman!"
Feng Lingxi shook her off, and Feng Yuxi rushed forward again. Suddenly, she stepped on a stone on the ground and fell to the ground, hitting her head against a rock. Blood flowed from her head, and Feng Yuxi fainted, scaring everyone.
"Summon the imperial physician!"
Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze, taking Xiao Li towards Shou'an Palace.
Inside Shou'an Palace, Empress Cen just learned about the incident at the Imperial Garden and saw Feng Lingxi entering with Xiao Li. Seeing the coldness between her brows, Empress Cen smiled.
Feng Lingxi has met the Empress Dowager.
"Fourth Royal Consort, this palace has just heard about what happened in the Imperial Garden. I'm afraid the Emperor will come looking for you soon."
Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen, her voice slightly cold. "Does the Empress think it was my fault"
Queen Cen's brow furrowed slightly, "I hear that your biological mother, the mistress of General's Mansion, is still alive. Is there any truth to this"
As expected, it's still about this.
"Empress Dowager, when my mother was buried, who in the capital city didn't know, who didn't understand."
The Empress Dowager Cen looked at Feng Lingxi's place without any surprise. "This old woman has investigated, the woman living in the Fourth Prince’s Mansion does indeed look just like your mother. Could it really be a woman who looks exactly like your mother"
She was the former Saint Master of the Yao Clan, my biological mother.
Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen, "If Empress wants to use me as a threat, I'm afraid she will be disappointed. The treasures of the Yao clan are in my hands, and also in hers. If she has something happen, the treasure will certainly not be offered up. If I have something happen, the treasure will not be offered up either."
In short, if you dare to touch her and her daughter, don't even think about getting the treasure.
"This humble empress threatens what you shall do."
Only now, looking at Feng Lingxi's current expression, did Cen Taihou realize that the Feng Lingxi before her wasn't even bothering to put on a facade. Perhaps this was her true face after all.
"Then, thank you Empress Dowager, pleasant cooperation."
Feng Lingxi reached out, but before the Empress Dowager could reach out, she retracted her hand.
"In times of wind and rain, keeping her around would only cause more trouble. In two days, I will set off to return to the Yao Clan. If the Empress Dowager still desires a peaceful life, Feng Linglong, though not to my liking, is more suitable for the position of Empress than Feng Yuxi."
"Would you like me to help you through wind and rain"
Cen Taizi's eyebrows twitched slightly. Feng Lingxi said again, "Even the Empress Dowager wouldn't want to get rid of her. It can't be said that she's helping me. The methods used by Feng Yu Xi these past two days, the Empress Dowager also knows. She has made the Emperor argue with the Empress Dowager three times. Could it be that the Empress Dowager doesn't worry at all What if one day Feng Yu Xi sets her sights on the Empress Dowager"
That's all I have to say. I believe Empress Cen won't let Feng Yu Xi have an easy time. A woman who can do anything for power, how could Empress Cen allow her to stay Besides, there can be only one tiger on a mountain, and Feng Yu Xi has already threatened Empress Cen's position.
"I wonder what business the Empress has called me to court today"
Feng Lingxi no longer mentioned the incident with Feng Yuxi. She had told Empress Cen so much, and even if Dugu Yan found her later, Empress Cen could handle it well. She wouldn't let Feng Yuxi run wild.
"I summoned you here to discuss these matters. Now that I'm finished, you may return."
"By Imperial decree, the Fourth Princess Consort is to attend the Xi Gui Fei in Baohe Palace."
Zhang Gonggong came in and delivered the imperial edict. After paying respects to the Empress Dowager, he smiled at Feng Lingxi and said, "Fourth Princess Consort, please come forward."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Empress Cen, "I'm here today to give the empress a follow-up checkup. There are so many imperial physicians in the palace, Your Majesty might as well find someone else."
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to attend to Consort Xi's illness. I am merely following orders and hope Your Highness will not make things difficult for me."
Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, "Zhang Gonggong's meaning is that Xi Gui Fei is more important than the Empress Dowager, and I should abandon the Empress Dowager and go see Xi Gui Fei"
Zhang Gonggong's face changed drastically, he could clearly feel the Empress Dowager's anger, and hurriedly explained, "Then please have Si Wangfei examine the Empress Dowager first, and then go to examine Xi Gui Fei."
"Zhang Gonggong, is there no imperial physician in this Imperial Hospital Must you steal people from me"
Empress Dowager Cen spoke, and Grand Chamberlain Zhang hastily knelt down, beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"The Empress Dowager has calmed her anger, the servant is just following orders."
Then Empress Cen let out a cold snort and glared, "Tell the Emperor that Feng Lingxi is here for a follow-up consultation with me. She doesn't see just anyone."
Mr. Zhang hurriedly got up and went back to report.
When Dugu Yan heard Zhang Gonggong's reply, she was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"Your Majesty, my body has recovered a lot. Please don't be angry anymore. Even the Empress Dowager has spoken up. Feng Lingxi wouldn't come to see me, I am not worthy of such fortune." Feng Yu Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and the bandages on her head showed how weak she was. This sight made Dugu Yan feel heartbroken.
"Feng Lingxi, you've gone too far! Do you even have me in your eyes anymore"
"Now that she has the Empress Dowager backing her, Your Majesty, I think it's best not to continue this feud with her. I fear Feng Ling Xi will be ruthless and harmful towards Your Majesty."
Dugu Yan clenched her fists, Feng Yu Xi seeing the situation said again, "Now Feng Ling Xi's mother is still alive, and the Fourth Prince has military power in his hands. It's really..."ith a pot of hot water, wrung out the towel and began wiping the frost from Du Gu Su's face. He wiped away the thick layer of frost, revealing Du Gu Su's pale complexion. Du Gu Su's body was trembling...
