the hillsides nearby had grass covering them, so some sulfurous stones might be hidden and unknown."Your Highness, please don't wander off. Although there are no people nearby, you still have to be c..."So, are you satisfied with the investigation now"
Feng Lingxi looked at Duguyu's admiring gaze, the coldness between her brows did not diminish. Besides Dugu Cheng, she disliked how these princes looked at her.
"Naturally pleased, I believe the Emperor is also very satisfied with you."
Feng Lingxi coldly scanned Dugu Yu, "Let's get to the point. After you entered the palace, how did you save Dugu Cheng With sweet words and earnest advice"
"This king has his own way, Fourth Royal Wife trust this king once."
Windling rose to her feet, "Let's go."
"Hold on."
Dugu Yu looked at Feng Lingxi, "The wine and food of this Fengming Building are famous throughout the capital. Just now, this king's guard said that the Fourth Princess knows nothing about Fengming Building, and probably has never dined here before. Why don't we dine first and then enter the palace"
"The Third King seems to be in high spirits. Is he not worried about the dangers of Dugu City"
獨孤宇 gestured for her to sit down, smiling and saying, "Dugu Yan needs time to be judged for killing him, let alone the fact that Fourth Brother has 500,000 soldiers under his command. Even if he wanted to kill Fourth Brother, he'd have to consider the consequences."
Feng Lingxi has to say that this Dugu Yu is truly intelligent, seeing through things clearly. And this smiling tiger, it's really impossible to see through his true thoughts. Since meeting him, the conclusion I've come to is that he is unfathomable; whether he's a friend or foe is difficult to discern.
Since the three kings have said so, let's have a meal before entering the palace.
Dugu Yu instructed the guard beside him, "Please ask this young lady to dine over there."
"Thank you, Three Kings, for your kindness. I will serve my Madam here."
Xiao Li's 'insolence' did not upset Dugu Yu, he just had his guards add a set of bowls and chopsticks for her. This gesture earned him praise from Feng Ling Xi, adding a few more points to her admiration.
Feng Lingxi looked at the table of delicious delicacies that Dugu Yu had ordered. These dishes were indeed comparable to the imperial kitchen's cuisine. No wonder people said that only officials and nobles could afford to eat here. This meal wouldn't be cheap.
"Do as you please, Fourth Royal Wife."
Feng Lingxi nodded but didn't pick up her chopsticks. Dugu Yu saw this and tasted each dish one by one, as if he knew what she was thinking. Feng Lingxi wasn't worried about him being poisoned, but rather wondering how Dugu Cheng was faring in prison while she enjoyed this lavish meal.
Thinking of Dugu Cheng's situation, Feng Lingxi lost her appetite. She was only worried about his safety and wouldn't kill him immediately. Who could guarantee they wouldn't torture Dugu Cheng
"Your Highness, why aren't you eating Is the food not to your liking"
Feng Ling Xi looked up and met Du Gu Yu's concerned gaze, saying softly, "No, it's just that I've never eaten such a sumptuous meal before, so I'm a little unaccustomed."
Dugu Yu was surprised, but he didn't ask much. Seeing her lower her head to eat, he had no heart to speak, so he silently accompanied her to finish this meal.
Feng Lingxi observed Dugu Yu, finding him different from his brothers, Dugu Yan and Dugu Xuen. He lacked the arrogance expected of a prince, instead possessing a down-to-earth friendliness. Yet, there was an innate nobility about him that remained elusive and impossible to fully grasp.
In the prison cell, Dugu Cheng sat slumped against the wall. Bloodstains marred his clothes and his hair was disheveled, making him look haggard. He never could have imagined that Dugu Yan and Feng Linglong would be so ruthless, resorting to such a cruel method to deal with him.
He arrived at Feng Linglong's cold palace, and she immediately threw herself at him in disarrayed clothing, throwing him to the ground. Shortly after, guards and eunuchs appeared, seizing him without asking for an explanation and accusing him of adultery with Feng Linglong. They directly imprisoned him in the dungeon.
If Xier knew about his experience, she would definitely be angry.
Dugu Cheng looked at the bloodstains on his body, never expecting that he would be plotted against like this. It was something he couldn't have imagined even in his dreams.
"The Fourth King is truly so calm."
A figure appeared before Dugu City. Looking at that stunning face and graceful figure, Dugu City coldly scanned her with eyes full of disgust. He didn't even want to say a word to her. This woman truly made him feel sick.
"Open the prison gates."
Wind and Rain urged Feng, looking at Dugu City who ignored her. She walked in front of him, but Dugu City didn't even bother to raise his head.
"This palace knows you're angry. Today's events, the Fourth Prince probably never dreamed he would be framed by the Emperor and Concubine Long like this."
Feng Yu Xi crouched down, looking at Du Gu Cheng's handsome face. However, Du Gu Cheng's face was much more beautiful than Du Gu Yan's. Feng Ling Xi was truly blessed, always choosing the best. And she, would always be unwanted by Feng Ling Xi.
"Your Majesty came here to speak with this king, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will know and punish you"
Dugu City stood up with disgust, maintaining a distance from Feng Yu Xi. Feng Linglong was shameless, this Feng Yu Xi was ruthless, he didn't want to fall for her again.
Feng Yu Xi chuckled, "Fourth Prince, do you think I could come here without the Emperor's permission"
"What did he bring you here to do Are you trying to lure and ensnare this king like Feng Linglong"
"Four King's words are truly unpleasant. Feng Linglong's actions don't represent what this palace would ever do."
As the wind and rain lashed down, Feng Yu listened to Dugu Cheng's sarcastic remarks, a smile slowly spreading across her lips. "Today, the Empress came here to propose a collaboration with Fourth Prince, I wonder if Fourth Prince is interested"
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
"Empress, please return," Du Gu Cheng said coldly.
The wind and rain were relentless, yet Feng Yu Xi had no intention of leaving. She knew that Dugu Cheng wouldn't agree to her terms easily, but she had come here to secure his cooperation. Otherwise, she would lose to Feng Ling Long.
Today, within the imperial harem, Feng Linglong has gone to great lengths to gain the emperor's favor. Incredibly, the emperor falls for her every move, even those that are devious and underhanded. He simply doesn't care. She has no choice but to take a risky gamble and come to this place to seek out Dugu City because she absolutely cannot lose to Feng Linglong.
"This palace knows you're wronged, but does the Fourth Prince know why the Emperor would allow Feng Linglong to do such a thing It's nothing more than because of the military power in the Fourth Prince's hands. Five hundred thousand soldiers, half the military power of the Great Yuan Dynasty is in his hands. You are a real threat to him."
Dugu Cheng heard Feng Yu Xi's words, his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't see through Feng Yu Xi anymore. She spoke so frankly to him, didn't she fear letting Dugu Yan know and harming her
How can she, as Dugu Yan's empress, say such a thing It's not something an empress should say.
"Don't you think I shouldn't be telling you this To be honest with you, this position of Empress isn't permanent. The Emperor made me his consort on condition, my role as Empress depends on fulfilling his mission. If I ever fail to do so, this title of Empress could belong to someone else at any moment."
"Absurd, how can the position of Empress be so arbitrary"
Dugu City feigned anger and said, "Feng Yu Xi saw the situation and said, 'I also think this is too absurd. Therefore, I thought about teaming up with the Fourth Prince to secure the position of Empress. As long as the Fourth Prince agrees to cooperate with me, the Fourth Prince's status in court will be unshakeable.'"
