Chapter 731: Yao's Uprising 101
d again, "If the Saintess of Yaozu was so kind, why didn't anyone from Yaozu protect me when I was attacked a few days ago""Aren't there people already assigned to protect you"Feng Lingxi looked at Lu...When Feng Yu Xi mentioned the Empress Dowager, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. "Fourth Prince," he said, each word like ice, "are you threatening this Palace with the Empress Dowager"
Dugu City smiled faintly, looking at Feng Yu Xi's eyes made Feng Ling Xi frown slightly. Dugu City was going to argue with Feng Yu Xi, making a scene here would bring him trouble.
"May I ask the Empress, why is this considered a threat This King has only spoken the truth."
"You..."
Feng Yu Xi Qi gritted his teeth, pointing at Du Gu Cheng's hand, and swung it down with force. His eyes glared angrily at him.
"Alright, for the Empress's sake, this palace will not hold a grudge against the Fourth Prince today."
"Then this king will take his leave first." Dugu City took Feng Lingxi's hand, changing his previous attitude with a gentle expression and tone. "Xier, let's go back to the estate."
When Feng Yu Xi heard this from Dugu Cheng, her face grew even colder.
"Fourth Royal Wife, don't forget to meet at the General's Mansion tomorrow."
Feng Lingxi returned a smile, "Alright, let's meet at the General's Mansion tomorrow. Your Majesty, please remember to have the gift you gave me sent to the Fourth Prince's Residence. I thank Your Majesty here."
Feng Yu Xi's already sullen face turned even colder upon hearing this. She let out a cold snort and swept away, leaving in a huff.
"Xier, what reward"
Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Yu Xi's reaction and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Just now, Lady Lan found me and asked me to take a look at her health. Then she rewarded me with two ginseng plants that are a hundred years old. After the Empress saw them, she said she would give me even better ones. I couldn't help but thank her, today has been so good."
This ginseng has become as cheap as a turnip.
Dugu City understood. To put it simply, Feng Yu Xi didn't want to lose to Lan Fei, so she compared herself to her.
"Xi'er, why did Lan Fei come to you for a check-up instead of the imperial physicians She is now the Emperor's most favored concubine."
"Who made me so skilled in medicine"
Feng Lingxi jokingly said, Dugu City smiled and didn't say much. He followed Feng Lingxi out of the palace. There was nothing good to say inside the palace. They would talk at home later.
Fenyi Hall
Feng Yu Xiqi's face was ashen, and the maidservants and eunuchs standing beside him trembled with fear.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Long has arrived."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong"
Feng Linglong walked into the Fenyi Hall, feeling the atmosphere inside. Her gaze swept over the palace maids and eunuchs present, seeing that they all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, it was clear how furious the Empress must be.
"Feng Yu Xi Jian Feng Ling Long came, coldly asked, “You come to this palace, is there something”
"Having heard that the Fourth Royal Concubine has returned to the capital and entered the palace, this servant thought that the Empress must have met with her. Therefore, I came to visit the Empress."
"So, are you satisfied with what you see"
The evening wind carried a chill, and being bullied by Feng Lingxi, she felt humiliated. Now that Feng Linglong had spoken these words, she had no face left. However, despite Feng Linglong's displeasure, the agreement between them still stood. Even if Feng Linglong was dissatisfied, she wouldn't dare disrespect her, especially since she was the empress.
Feng Linglong walked to the side and sat down, holding the tea on the table gracefully sipping it before saying with a smile, "Your Majesty, why get so angry We've all seen what this Fourth Princess is like, haven't we Getting upset over her isn't worth it."
"Tomorrow, this palace will return to the General's Mansion for a visit. You will accompany this palace back. Also, Concubine Lan has been rather arrogant lately. You must keep a close eye on her and prevent her from becoming pregnant with the Emperor's child. Otherwise, you will know the consequences."
Feng Yu Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, a chill emanating from them that made Feng Linglong shiver involuntarily. She hurriedly said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, your servant knows what to do."
Furthermore, this palace has learned that your younger brother Feng Yixuan was assassinated by Feng Lingxi. Whether this news is true, this palace has yet to receive a definite answer. Regarding this matter, you should refrain from acting impulsively for now. If this is indeed the case, this palace will definitely take action on your behalf.
Wind Linglong's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this, her body softened, and she almost fainted. Luckily, the maidservant behind her supported her, or else she wouldn't have been able to stand. She looked at Feng Lingxi with disbelief, "Your Majesty, Yi Xuan, he really..."
"The message is not confirmed yet, so stop bothering me."
Feng Linglong's eyes were red-rimmed, tears swirling in the corners. Had she lost her only remaining relative
If Feng Lingxi really killed Yi Xuan, she wouldn't let her live even if she died.
Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Ling Long's teary eyes and the cold killing intent flickering within them. A satisfied smile hid in her gaze, her expression growing more ruthless.
"I am merely following the Empress Dowager's orders."
Feng Linglong clenched her fists, the killing intent in her eyes pleased Feng Yuxi very much.
She wanted this weapon filled with such hatred, only then would Feng Linglong go all out against Feng Lingxi. As long as she didn't die, she wouldn't be at peace.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng returned to the王府, Shu Taifei immediately had someone inform them that they would be having a meal together in the evening. She told them to rest well first. Feng Lingxi, however, did not rest. Instead, she went to find Luo Li. Today at the palace, what Cen Taizi had said to her, she was afraid she still had to discuss with Luo Li.
"From your tone, you intend to continue concealing this treasure from Empress Cen. This will not come to light, and your actions will eventually drag you into this matter. When that happens, you will be accused of deceiving the imperial court."
"So, I came to you for advice."
Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li raising an eyebrow, that smirk on the corner of his lips made her uncomfortable. This Luo Li knew the purpose of doing this, now if he confessed, facing her would be imprisonment, or even death.
How could Empress Cen possibly accept being deceived by her
"There's nothing more to discuss about this. You've said your piece, so let's just settle on that for now. If it really blows up in our faces later, we'll deal with it then."
Wind Lingxi nodded and bowed deeply to Luo Li. This action surprised Luo Li, who hurriedly asked, "What are you doing"
"Please keep this a secret from everyone, Chief. This concerns the entire Fourth Royal Court and the Yao tribe. I hope you can help me."
"You..."
Luoli's smile vanished from her face. No wonder she bowed to him deeply; this was clearly an attempt to drag him down, even bringing the Yao tribe into it. She certainly wasn't afraid of anything.
"Remember, you are the Saint Lord of Yaozu. You should handle this yourself."
As the leader of the Yao clan, this concerns the future of your people. This matter should be discussed with you.
Luo Li waved her hand and left for her Yao tribe future. This time, she actually spoke to him about these matters. When did she truly care about the Yao tribe If it wasn't out of necessity, she wouldn't even bother looking at it.
"Well, this isn't the first time."
Feng Lingxi smiled, "Thank you, Chief."
Dugu Cheng watched from the side, thinking about Xi'er's words, his eyes darkened.
The threat that Empress Cen posed to the Yao Clan remained ever-present. If the Yao Clan's treasure were exposed and they couldn't produce it, then it would be the day Empress Cen punished Xi’er. He couldn't allow such a thing to happen. Matters concerning the Yao Clan needed to be approached with even greater caution.fortable."At that time, I wonder if Dugu City will remember herFeng Ling Xi's eyes were soft as she caressed her slightly protruding belly. Looking at the smoke and rain-soaked mountains, the mist swi...
