Chapter 1392: War Clouds Gather (Part 213)

al was sent by the Empress Dowager to supervise General Feng's battle. General Feng, is this because Feng Lingxi is your daughter, that you don't want to kill her and are plotting to defect with her"..."Yes." Gu Liyu's voice was firm, "I can't let him harm Meimei."

He was the prime minister.

Feng Ling Xi frowned, she truly didn't know how she could have such an idea, "Do you know that you might have already been killed by him before even seeing him"

"No, I'll figure it out."

Gulì looked at Feng Língxī, her eyes pleading. "Princess, don't you want to kill him A villain like him deserves to die."

"Guli, do not take risks. Even if you hate him, do not take risks. This chancellor, I'm not saying whether you can successfully assassinate him or not. If this fails, the price you pay will be more than just your life. And Yu Mo knows he wouldn't let you go either."

"Could the princess perhaps keep this from him"

"No."

Feng Lingxi refused without hesitation, her expression serious. "Gu Li, you can't act impulsively. This not only harms yourself but also hurts those around you. I believe Yu Mo would also stop you if he knew what you were doing, just as I am doing now."

But...

Gu Li still wanted to explain, but Feng Ling Xi's eyes stopped her. She bit her lip, her eyes showing unwillingness.

"Don't think that killing Prime Minister Yu Mo will make you safe. We need to find solutions to everything, rather than killing whoever wants to kill us. The world is so vast, and there are so many people who want to kill us. How many can you possibly kill"

She also wouldn't want to kill the prime minister to prevent future trouble, but could she actually kill him

Even without mentioning his position as prime minister, the fact that he is the father-in-law of the emperor makes him someone not easily approachable. Moreover, considering that he came here, he would surely have taken precautions and wouldn't allow anyone to get close to him at will.

"Then we just endure this I don't want Yu Mo to get into trouble."

Gu Li clenched her fists. She wished she hadn't informed the princess. She could have just killed the prime minister herself. She didn't believe him, even with all his attendants following him everywhere, there would have been a chance for her to catch him.

“The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. This time they are coming aggressively. Furthermore, both the Chancellor's wife and Nan Gong Hua Yun died in Linxi County. There is no doubt about that. The Chancellor wants to make things difficult for us. We can only cope and wait until we figure out the cause of Nan Gong Hua Yun's death and investigate clearly. Then, this Chancellor will have nothing on us.”

Dugu Cheng is currently investigating the cause of Nangong Huayun's death. As long as he finds the murderer and mastermind, he can clear his suspicions. As for this Countess, she did die from poison, and her body was stolen, which is also very strange.

"Gu Li, if you truly want to help, why not investigate for me Who stole the body of the Chancellor's wife"

“The body was stolen again”

Guli made a face. "Isn't it sick to steal a body"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Stealing the body is just to prevent an autopsy. She wants the incident of the Chancellor's wife dying from poisoning to be blamed on me. As long as we find the Chancellor's wife's body, an autopsy can reveal that she died from a long-term poison, proving my innocence."

"Okay, I'll help you look for it, but where should I start"

This Chancellor's wife, she doesn't know her either.

"Go to Yipinxiang and find Lu Nian. Ask him to help you investigate this matter."

With so many sudden events, she hadn't been able to figure things out. Now that everything had stopped, Feng Lingxi's mind was much clearer. The theft of the wife of the Prime Minister's body was to prevent them from examining it and discovering that she had been poisoned for a long time, leading to her death from an overdose this time.

If Nangong Huayun were still alive, naturally there would be no fear. But he happened to have an accident as well. Plus, the maidservants present at the time were almost all brought by Nangong Huayun, and they were all killed. Right now, the only thing that can prove the cause of death of the Prime Minister's wife is the body of the Prime Minister's wife.

"Alright, then I'll go find the body of Prime Minister's wife."

When she found the corpse of the Chancellor's wife, she wanted to see if the Chancellor would still kill her feathered ink.

Be careful, don't mess around.

Guli nodded, bowed to Feng Lingxi, put on her veil, and vanished into the night.

"Mother, Wan'er wants to sleep."

Wan'er was so sleepy that she kept yawning. Her pitiful eyes made Feng Lingxi feel sorry for her, and she had forgotten how late it was.

"Mother, hold him and take him to sleep."

Feng Lingxi carried Wan'er to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and closed the doors and windows. He then lay down, holding Wan'er but couldn't fall asleep.

Just a little while ago, she had become much more alert.

The body of the Chancellor's wife was stolen, and it's likely related to the assassination of Nangong Huayun. It seems that she needs to thoroughly investigate the Chancellor's family. Before, Nangong Huayun had said that the Chancellor was very good to his mother, but based on what Nangong Huayun said the day the Chancellor's wife died, it can be inferred that the poison that killed her might have been administered by the Chancellor himself.

If the prime minister wanted to poison his wife, why would he do it for over ten years

It's impossible, the Prime Minister thought of this day over ten years ago

Night was long, and Feng Lingxi tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. She couldn't figure out why she felt this way, so tired that she finally fell asleep.

獨孤城和風傲天尋遍了南宮華雲遇刺周圍都未能找到任何線索，這位丞相夫人的屍體不知所蹤，南宮華雲的死因此成了一團迷霧。

For several days, the investigation had been plagued by a lack of progress. No one had come forward with information as the crime scene was in a remote location and completely isolated. The circumstances surrounding the event remained shrouded in mystery.

Returning to the inn, Feng Aotiān wrote a letter and submitted it to the imperial court.

"My Lord, the Chancellor's people are urging again."

Ye Xi stepped forward to report, her handsome face filled with suppressed anger. These days, the King had said countless times that the affair of the Minister's wife had nothing to do with the Crown Princess, but the Minister kept insisting that it was the Crown Princess who did it. Now there was no evidence, not even the body of the Minister's wife was found, the Crown Princess was the most suspect.

He didn't even dare to enter the city.

Feng Aotian looked at Dugu City, "This time the Prime Minister came, I'm afraid he wants to move the princess."

"Continue to investigate Nan Gong Hua Shuang."

Dugu Cheng spoke with a cold face, Tiangxianglou had already found out that this Nan Gong Huashuang also came along on this trip, but this Nan Gong Huashuang was unwilling to follow, but acted as an advisor, looting everywhere and hiding deep.

"Yes."

Ye Xi withdrew, Feng Aotiān frowned, "This Nangong Huashuang is not easy to deal with. If everything is related to him, even the Prime Minister will protect him."

"Unless Xi'er goes to take the blame, his life and death have nothing to do with this King."

Dugu City's tone was extremely cold. His forbearance these past few days had almost reached its limit. He truly didn't expect the death of the Chancellor's wife to be pinned on Xi'er. He could only say that this Chancellor was truly bold, treating him, a fallen prince, with no regard.

However, this time it was thanks to Feng Aotian's full support that he could get so much information. But because of this, Feng Aotian and the Prime Minister became opposing factions, and they were afraid that after returning to Beijing, they would be punished.

"This time, it's truly difficult for Princess Chen. All I can do is this. Consider it a way to make up for the years I neglected this child." Feng Aotiang said with emotion. Thinking back to how he had ignored such a good daughter in the past, now all he could do for her was this much. hit her hard, logically speaking, she shouldn't be like this now, but she still forgets, which means she's selectively forgetting.Li Wuyan's expression was quite complex, "This matter, wait until the...
