mmer were not too far apart, convenient for travel. Unlike other countries with many rules and regulations, Feng Lingxi would feel more comfortable living there."Well, you two chat away. Mother has a...Feng Linglong saw that Dugu Yan was furious, and her eyes involuntarily met Feng Lingxi's. She hastily looked away, not daring to meet her gaze. She always felt as if she were transparent in front of her.

Windling saw the fear in Feng Linglong's eyes, taking it all in. A chill crept into the smile in his eyes.

"It seems Long Gui Fei is indeed a woman of loyalty and compassion, surprising me quite a bit. She's willing to sacrifice her own reputation for the sake of her brother."

Feng Linglong was flustered, kneeling before Dugu Yan and wiping away the tears from her eyes. "Your Majesty, I know my crimes are unforgivable, but I beg you, for the sake of my unborn child who was killed by the Empress, please give justice to my child."

獨孤雁忙將風玲瓏扶起來，“This time, I don't blame you. It was the Empress who forced you to do this. After this incident, I also understand that you are a woman with compassion and righteousness. I am very pleased that you are willing to pay so much for your own family. You are much stronger than the ruthless Empress.”

Feng Ling Xi was surprisingly lucky. Unexpectedly, Feng Ling Long turned misfortune into blessing.

"Your Majesty, since the truth has been revealed, shouldn't we also give Dugu City a fair name"

Seeing the situation, Empress Cen also spoke up, “Emperor, since this matter is innocent of the Fourth Prince, then release him.”

Dugu Yan glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Mother Empress, although this matter was done by the Empress, I haven't figured out whether Dugu Cheng colluded with her. Releasing him like this is not appropriate."

"Your Majesty, won't you even listen to what your humble servant has to say"

Empress Dowager Cen was furious and extremely displeased with Dugu Yan's attitude. "Regarding the matter of Long Gui Fei, I can choose to overlook it, but since Dugu Cheng is innocent, he must be released. This is my imperial decree."

獨孤雁的眼神滿是不滿，對上岑太後逼迫的眼神，縱使萬般不願意，還是答應了。

"Since both his mother and father vouched for him, how could I possibly not believe his innocence Pass down my decree: release Duke Duguo unconditionally."

Feng Lingxi heard the words "acquitted and released," although she felt that Du Gucheng was too wronged, having been played from beginning to end, imprisoned unjustly. But thinking of Du Guyan's current emotional state, she swallowed her anger and didn't want to argue, lest Du Gucheng fall back into prison.

"The emperor is wise."

Feng Lingxi bowed her thanks, while Dugu Yan let out a cold snort, clearly displeased with Feng Lingxi. However, due to the presence of her mother, she refrained from expressing anger.

"Mother, when will this Yao clan treasure be returned to the capital This Fourth Princess has promised for quite some time now."

Dugu Yan's voice was extremely cold, "I gave her enough time. Don't take advantage of her relationship with the Empress Dowager and disrespect me and the Great Yuan Dynasty."

Wind Ling Xi raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, extremely dissatisfied with Du Gu Yan's attitude. Fortunately, she and Du Gu Cheng had come together in the past. If she were to marry a man like this, she might as well not have been reborn.

"Your Majesty, the abundance of treasures in the Yao clan is known to all. If they were truly so easily obtained, why would people fight over them I promised to deliver the treasure and will naturally keep my word. However, obtaining the Yao clan's treasures is not as simple as that. It's like distributing salaries, it requires a layer-by-layer disbursement. From what my mother told me, besides needing the Treasure Map, I also need to complete a task to access the Yao clan's treasures."

Upon hearing Feng Lingxi's words, Empress Cen frowned. "Has the Fourth Princess encountered another incident"

Feng Lingxi said calmly, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, a few months ago I was hunted by the Yao people. After they disappeared, I didn't expect them to hunt me again a few days ago. My mother then told me about the Yao clan's customs. Before the Yao Clan's Saint Master has an heir, they will be hunted by mysterious members of the Yao Clan until they give birth to an heir and become a qualified Saint Master. Only then will the pursuit cease."

"What kind of rules are these Aren't the Yao clan under your control You're not trying to keep the treasure and making up all this nonsense to deceive me and our Empress, are you"

Dugu Yan angrily scolded, this unheard-of rule made him furiously denounce Feng Lingxi.

Feng Lingxi, with a fearless expression, looked at Empress Cen. "I only learned about this a few days ago, and so did the Empress. Since I married the Fourth Prince, I haven't been able to live peacefully in the manor, and my belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. Therefore, the matter of the treasure will likely be delayed for some time."

Feng Ling Xi's words almost made Empress Cen vomit blood, "What you mean is, you still have to give birth to the child before you can get the Yao Clan treasure and hand it over"

"If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe what I say, she can investigate it herself. This matter should no longer be a secret."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Concubine Cen's eyes to narrow slightly. After all this time, she now had to protect her in giving birth to a child. In that case, it would take at least a year and a half to get the Yao clan's treasure, let alone be easy.

"Mother, I feel that the matter of the Yao Clan's treasure is too troublesome. Without this Yao Clan's treasure, I can still unify the world."

As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, Empress Cen rebuked her sharply, “Your Majesty, this Yao tribe treasure must be obtained. You needn't interfere in this matter.”

Empress Dowager Cen finished speaking and said to Feng Lingxi, "You follow me back to the palace. I have something to tell you."

Feng Ling Xi nodded, looking at the angry expression of Dugu Yan, and reminded, "Your Majesty, if you want to make Lon Gui Fei pregnant, you need to take good care of her body. In your daily life, you should pay more attention to your diet and moderation."

Du Gu Yan's face sank, before he could even speak, Cen Taihou gave him a subtle look warning him not to mention Feng Ling Xi again. The words that were about to leave Du Gu Yan's mouth were swallowed back down.

Wind Ling Xi and Empress Cen came out, and Empress Cen opened her mouth.

"Were you just reminding the Emperor that someone around him is trying to harm him"

Feng Ling Xi faintly said, "Your Majesty doesn't think that way."

"The Empress knows you're trying to remind the Emperor, but, Feng Ling Xi, please don't involve yourself in the Emperor's affairs."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the Empress Dowager. It seemed that the Empress Dowager was not unaware of Duguxiu's intentions. The struggle between these two brothers, the winner is king, the loser is bandit. Perhaps Empress Dowager Cen wanted to wait for the opportunity like a fisherman.

"Your Majesty Dowager, you can check what I've said to you. If there's even half a lie..."

"I believe in you, and I'll give you time. I've waited for this Yao Clan treasure for so long; a year is nothing to me. However, Feng Lingxi, the time I gave you to have my child wasn't given freely. There are some things I need to make clear with you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the calculating gleam in Cen Taizi's eyes, a little surprised by her agreement.

"I wonder what the Empress Dowager wants to tell me"

"I give you a year, but I want Dugu City to hand over his military power."

Feng Lingxi heard that Empress Cen was taking the opportunity to seize military power. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. Once this military power was taken back, she and Dugu Cheng would become pawns in her hands, at her mercy. If she wasn't careful, they would die in Empress Cen's hands. She couldn't agree to such terms.
