Chapter 160: Palace Change 4

them. The coroner screamed in fright, scrambling back and shouting, "Ghost… Ghost!""Nonsense, where would there be ghosts under the bright sun and day"Feng Lingxi angrily rebuked, “Bring the coroner...Feng Lingxi looked at the smile on her face, anger rising within him. It was truly too much! Were they trying to force her into agreement

"For the sake of her legitimate daughter's status, Concubine Feng even abandoned her own mother. My mother's body is still cold, and you want to forcefully claim her under your name. You are so eager, are you not afraid that your mother will come for you at night and scold you for being an unfilial daughter"

Feng Linglong covered her mouth and smiled faintly, "Fourth Sister, you're so old now, still making such jokes. There are no such things as ghosts and spirits in the world."

"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear' Big sister, do you understand You know what I mean."

"Xier, you are now the legitimate wife of the Fourth Prince, and your older sister is a concubine to the Crown Prince. As sisters, you should support each other and get along well. How can you always be quarreling like this..."

"I don't feel well, so I won't keep you company. Xiaoli, please see our guest off!"

Feng Lingxi left a sentence behind, ignoring them and leaving on her own.

Feng Linglong watched her leave them, and said faintly, "It seems I can only go to the emperor."

"Wind Side Concubine, General Wind, the Princess is unwell. Both of you please return."

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, Feng Linglong slapped her across the face and snarled, "You vile servant, how dare you speak to this concubine like that Is this how your mistress taught you"

"This is Feng Side Consort saying that our Fourth Prince's manor's maidservants don't know their place, is she"

Ye Xi strode over here, her eyes freezing as she saw the palm print on Xiao Li's face.

Feng Linglong looked at the personal guard of Dugu City, and sneered coldly, "What, are you trying to protect this lowly maid"

"The Wind Consort calls every woman a lowly maid. Perhaps she's forgotten that her own mother was born a lowly maid as well Compared to that, I wonder what the Wind Consort truly is"

"You..."

Wind Linglong's face turned ashen, and she glared at Ye Xi, "How dare you speak to this concubine like that"

Ye Xi scanned coldly, "My subordinates are ordered by the King to protect the Fourth Princess, including her people. If the Concubine Feng strikes someone who belongs to the Princess, it is as if she struck the Princess's face. The King has decreed that anyone who dares to harm the Princess in any way, shall not be given any face."

"You are nothing but a lowly servant, daring to speak to this noble concubine like this! Get your master out here, I want to see if he's covering for this wretched slave and engaging in favoritism and corruption!"

Feng Ling just went back and heard the maidservants outside saying that Feng Linglong slapped Xiaoli in the courtyard and cursed at her. Then she turned back, seeing Feng Linglong scolding Xiaoli and Ye Xi, calling them "cheap maids" and "lowly slaves," her face even darker.

"This concubine's talent for cursing is truly impressive, Your Majesty. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that General Feng would allow his consort to act so brazenly in my manor."

Alone City roared, Feng Linglong saw Alone City come out and fearlessly spoke, “Fourth Prince arrived just in time. I came here to discuss matters with Fourth Sister, but she’s good at this, letting her maid send me away. I’m the Crown Prince’s consort after all, if you count it, Your Highness should call me Empress by now…”

"Sister-in-law"

Dugu City coldly stared at her, "You, are you worthy"

Feng Linglong's face stiffened, and she looked at the fierce look in Dugu City's eyes, feeling a little flustered.

"Dugu City looked at Feng Aotian, "General Feng, it's only been a short while since this king returned and married Xi'er. General Feng has already forgotten your own identity"

Wind Aotian's face changed drastically, he hurriedly knelt down, "Fourth Prince, I beg for your forgiveness. I know I was wrong, I'll go back now."

Feng Linglong looked at her father's reaction, her face even more unsightly.

“Favor, this king kindly reminds you, Xi'er is now this king's queen. Even if the General's Manor cannot tolerate her, she is this king's beloved. Favor, if you have any dissatisfaction with Xi'er, just come at this king.”

Feng Linglong's face turned pale and flushed, listening to Dugu Cheng's defense of Feng Lingxi. Jealousy surged within her, but she dared not show it. She could only force a smile and say, "Your Highness speaks truly. My sister and I are half-sisters, so how could I harbor any ill will towards her Sisters squabbling is common, Your Highness should not take it to heart."

Dugu Cheng let out a cold snort. "Xi'er doesn't even recognize the General's Mansion, your sister wouldn't feel obligated to either."

Feng Linglong's face was flushed with anger at his words. Feng Aotian pulled on Feng Linglong's sleeve, signaling for her to leave. However, Feng Linglong was still unwilling, gritting her teeth and clenching her fist, digging her nails into her flesh.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to worry you about Xi'er."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City protecting her and saying so much. To say she wasn't touched was a lie, but this way of his... she feared it would cause a complete rift between herself and Feng Linglong.

"General Feng, I've made myself clear. Now that my mother has passed, I have no further ties to General's Mansion. Please don't come to me with matters concerning the mansion in the future. As for Lady Feng [Feng Side Consort], I am far too lowly to be considered worthy of her attention. I will remain under the name of the current General's Wife. I've said what needed to be said. The two of you may leave now."

Feng Lingxi made an inviting gesture, but seeing the two of them still standing there with their faces thick with embarrassment, she was truly a little angry.

Xiǎolì was slapped by Fēng Línglóng. Looking at the slap mark on her face, Fēng Lìngxī's eyes became even colder.

"Xier, you..."

Feng Aotian sighed and turned to leave.

Feng Linglong let out a cold snort and, leading her people, left Prince Si's Residence.

"My Queen, how did you get out again"

Xiao Li hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng Lingxi, "It's all my fault, I wasn't able to send them away."

"Does it hurt"

Feng Lingxi looked at the slap mark on Xiao Li's face, "I made you suffer with me."

Xiaoli smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Your Highness needn't blame yourself."

"Ye Xi, go to this king's study and apply that bottle of Jade Dew ointment to Xiao Li."

"My lord, my face will be fine in a while, there's no need to bother..."

Before Xiao Li could finish her words, she was taken away by Ye Xi.

"Xi'er, Feng Jiangjun and Feng Linglong came here with thick faces this time, letting her and Feng Lingyu be listed under Yue Mu's name. I'm afraid they are preparing for something on the day of the Empress' birthday."

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking of Feng Linglong and Feng Aotian's attitudes. How could she not know there was something fishy going on

If not, why would Feng Linglong insist on being registered under her mother's name If there wasn't something going on, who would believe it

"I'm afraid something might happen on the Empress's birthday."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Feng Yixuan is temporarily unable to move."

Du Gu Cheng frowned, looking at Feng Ling Xi's resolute eyes, "Xi'er, you are raising a tiger to threaten yourself."

"Our situation is dire now. If Feng YiXuan gets into trouble, the General's Mansion will inevitably turn against us. At that time, joining forces with the Empress, you wouldn't be afraid of being implicated, who knows what might happen."

"Your father has no real power in his hands. Even if he truly turned against us, he couldn't do anything about it."

Remember, Father's body hasn't fully recovered yet, and the Empress is eyeing you hungrily. Let's wait for Father to get better and regain control of the government before we talk about anything else.ly got up and thanked her. Looking at Dugu Su nodding towards her, Windling thought for a moment and opened her mouth, "Could you please do me a favor, Your Highness""What does the Fourth Princess say...
