ile playing on her lips as she said, "This Palace heard that the Emperor was enjoying tea and admiring flowers with Consort Shu in the Imperial Garden. I came to take a look, and unexpectedly, Fourth...Under the falling rain and twilight, Zhang Mama looked intently at her. She pulled Feng Ling Xi into the hall and had her sit down.
"Today's events, this palace wants to apologize to you. It was this palace who acted impulsively and spoke inappropriately, causing the Fourth Princess Consort to misunderstand."
Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, “Your Majesty the Empress is joking. It's my fault that Your Majesty the Empress was misunderstood by the Dowager Empress. But, Your Majesty the Empress, the Dowager Empress is just too worried about His Majesty's health. Don't take it to heart.”
"This palace understands, no need to say more. This palace heard that you were attacked the other day, are you alright"
Feng Lingxi got up and turned around, "Everything is done."
Wind and Rain hurriedly pulled her down to sit, her eyes accusingly saying, "We are all sisters from the same family. When such a big thing as being stabbed happened, why didn't anyone notify this palace By the time this palace knew, I was worried sick about you."
“Your Majesty, please forgive me. I fainted directly after being stabbed and couldn’t do anything.” She was putting on a show, trying to get her to mourn for her. She would be so kind If she were truly sad, she wouldn't have pushed her off the cliff.
This stormy evening, this hypocritical facade truly disgusted her. Feng Lingxi felt like she couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"Have you found out who assassinated you This palace will avenge you."
Feng Ling xi shook her head, her eyes full of helplessness.
"After the man assassinated me, he immediately ran into the crowd and disappeared. It was impossible to find him."
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yuxi, obviously letting out a breath of relief. Could this matter be related to her
Thinking of this, Feng Lingxi suddenly took Feng Yu Xi's hand, "Your Majesty Empress, do you know what people outside said about me during the time I was assassinated"
"How do you say that"
Feng Yu Xi was a little nervous, could Feng Ling Xi have found out
It's impossible, Dugu City has been looking for so long and hasn't been able to find out, how could she know.
Feng Lingxi deliberately looked around mysteriously, lowering her voice and saying, “They all say it was the Sixth Prince who did it.”
"She was astonished by the sudden storm. 'The Sixth Prince'"
"Shh!"
Feng Ling quickly made a shushing gesture and looked around, whispering, “I also suspect it's him. The feud between the Sixth Prince and Dugu Cheng is so deep; he must want to kill me and make Dugu Cheng heartbroken.”
Feng Yu Xi was looking at Feng Ling Xi's serious expression, "Really"
How much can we trust Feng Lingxi's words
"You don't believe me"
Feng Yu Xi hurriedly shook her head, forcing a smile and saying, “No, I just find it a bit unexpected. And this Sixth Prince... even if I were Empress, I wouldn’t be able to avenge you. You know, my position as Empress is merely a title with no real power.”
Feng Lingxi gave a nonchalant expression, "I'm not blaming you. Besides, the Sixth Prince's power is so great that even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor can't do anything to him. So, I just swallowed my anger and hoped he would let me go."
Looking at Feng Ling Xi under the wind and rain, her sincere eyes made it hard to believe she was lying.
"Anyway, be more careful with your words in the future so as not to get yourself into trouble. This palace will speak well of you before your father, so rest assured, he won't blame you."
Feng Lingxi nodded and smiled brightly, "The Empress is so kind to me. I also told Dugu Cheng that no matter what, I will be obedient and never worry him. I won't let them assassinate me either."
"Learn from your mistakes, be more careful next time."
Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Feng Yuxi's gentle eyes, and suddenly started acting cute with her.
"Your Majesty, there's something I need your help with"
"What's up"
Feng Ling Xi lowered her beautiful eyes, "Although my injuries have healed this time, my body is truly too weak. All the millennium ginseng in the house has been used up. I heard you have a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, could you bestow it upon me"
The smile on Feng Yu Xi's face gradually disappeared. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's expectant expression, she couldn't utter a word, feeling a surge of blood rushing to her chest, as if she was about to vomit blood.
"Wouldn't that be inconvenient"
Feng Lingxi's smile on her face gradually disappeared. Feng Yu Xi actually felt a sense of guilt, even though it was she who came to ask for her Tianshan snow lotus, she felt a sense of guilt that she wouldn't give it to her.
"If Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess wants Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, this old servant will tell the Empress Dowager."
Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "Thank you, Zhang Mama. It's alright if there isn't any. My body is probably not destined to use such good medicine."
"Attendants, bring the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to the Fourth Royal Consort."
When the wind and rain arrived in the evening, Feng Yu opened his mouth. Feng Ling looked at her with surprise in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Feng Yu Xi held her hand, "We are sisters. Just a Tian Shan Snow Lotus, even if it is precious, your life is more precious. Take it."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Xier thanks Elder Sister."
At the sound of her sister's voice, Feng Yu Xi's temper vanished instantly. The words she had just spoken disappeared into thin air. She had overheard Zhang Mama mention retrieving Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus from the Empress Dowager and for some unknown reason, didn't want to lose to her. So, she had gifted the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to Feng Ling Xi. Now, regretting her actions was useless.
Feng Lingxi obtained the Tianshan Snow Lotus and confirmed that it had not been drugged. A smile couldn't hide from her face.
It's getting late, you should head back home soon. It's snowing outside, be careful not to catch a cold.
Wind Ling hastily thanked her and left the Phoenix Hall with the snow lotus from Tian Shan.
Boom!
A crash echoed from within the Fengyi Palace, sending shivers down the spines of the maids both inside and outside. They all cowered and fell to their knees in fear.
"It's truly infuriating, why would I give her the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus I am the Empress, why must I be so humble and subservient before her"
Wind and rain had soaked his eyes, making them bloodshot. He clenched his fists, his body trembling violently.
She was unwilling to accept this, but what could she do Feng Lingxi took Zhang Mama with her. Everything she did was for the Empress Dowager's sake. That old woman, if it weren't for her, would she have been treated so unfairly
"Fourth Princess Consort, this old slave has delivered you to the palace gates. Please return home carefully."
Grandma Zhang bowed respectfully to Feng Lingxi, her voice very polite.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhang, today."
Feng Lingxi smiled and waved goodbye. After Zhang Mamu left, she left the palace and saw a carriage at the gate. Feng Lingxi happily ran over holding a Tian Shan snow lotus.
Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi come out and quickly stepped forward, "Lingxi, why are you only coming out now"
"Time in the palace is hard to measure, have you waited long"
Watching the snow falling on the carriage, Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled Dugu City onto the carriage and handed him the Tianshan Snow Lotus in his hand, "Do you know who gave this to me"
"Dowager Empress"
Feng Lingxi smiled and shook her head, saying with a smug look, "It's from Yu Xi, wouldn't you know"
獨孤城的俊眉微皺，“她怎麼會給你這麼珍貴的天山雪蓮？”
Feng Ling Xi let out a giggle, telling Du Gu Cheng what had happened. Seeing his brows furrow with worry, she leaned into his arms and coquettishly said, “Don’t worry, this was all her willing gift. I didn’t force her. Besides, she was beaming when she gave it to me.” head is still a bit dizzy and I haven't adjusted yet."Feng Lingxi's attitude was noticeably less enthusiastic than before, and her eye contact with Huangfu Qingyun had changed. There was no clarity i...
