Chapter 183: Palace Change 27

ld still follow the Empress Dowager's order."Dugu Cheng responded, "If the poison of falling frost flowers is truly something that needs to be cured, perhaps Dugu Su would have some clues.""Go tomorro...Ye Xi was taken aback by Xiao Li's warning gaze. This maid actually knew martial arts, and she seemed quite skilled.

He actually didn't discover it for so long, this is too well hidden, right

"Sir, the dishes are ready."

Xiaoli rushed towards Xiao'er with a brilliant smile, and returned to the appearance of a little maid. Her eyes sparkled, "Thank you."

Ye Xi swallowed nervously. This rate of transformation was truly impressive.

"What a hidden talent."

Xiao Li put a big chicken leg in Ye Xi's bowl and smiled brightly.

"If you dare to speak a word of this, next time I'll cripple you."

His eyes swept over Yexi's crotch, and Yexi instinctively clamped her legs together, nodding stiffly.

"This is terrifying, who can tell him that everything that just happened was an illusion, it wasn't real"

This meek little white rabbit suddenly turned into a big gray wolf. Using chopsticks like that requires skill, there's no way someone could do it without practice. This princess is deeply hidden and skilled, even her people are formidable.

"I understand, I promise not to tell a word."

"Including the Princess."

"Understood."

Xiaoli kept serving him dishes, her beaming smile made Yexi's heart race. This Xiaoli was so unassuming, with such hidden depths. The fact that she wouldn't let the Queen know... he was sure the Queen didn't know Xiaoli was skilled in martial arts. Was this good or bad for the Queen

"May I ask a question"

Xiaoli gave a glance, and Yexi forced out a smile, "Have dinner, eat vegetables."

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi's side and couldn't help laughing.

"What kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is. This little Li maid is truly amazing, she can scare Ye Xi like this, it's really not simple."

He was so angry with Ye Xi that he couldn't believe it. Unexpectedly, Xiaoli turned out to be quite capable.

Feng Lingxi raised her head and glanced in that direction, "Why doesn't the King say anything What kind of king has what kind of subordinates."

Dugu Cheng's smile froze slightly, looking at Ye Xi who was smiling along. It seemed like how he used to get along with Xi'er in the past, one word: cowardly, two words: really cowardly.

Feng Lingxi saw her talking, thinking she was hurting Dugu City's feelings, so she fell silent and ate quietly.

"Xi'er, later we will go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion. Father Emperor sent word, saying that he wants us to visit the palace when we have time."

When it came to the Emperor, Feng Lingxi thought of Dugu Cheng telling her that the Emperor's illness had improved. The pills she gave him were calculated by time and could only roughly detoxify him, not fully cure him. It was good to make a trip to the palace, heal the Emperor's illness, and also be able to rest assured and go on expedition with Dugu Cheng.

"You arrange the time for entering the palace, just let me know when."

Du Gu Cheng responded with a smile, looking at her now docile appearance. The smile on his lips grew wider. In fact, Xi'er wasn't as fierce as he had imagined. When she was gentle, she was also a kind woman.

"Xier, there's something this king wants to tell you."

Feng Lingxi responded with a hum, without even lifting her head, continuing to eat hers.

"Word got out about my broken engagement, and now people are saying it's because you were too fierce and wore me down."

Feng Lingxi was choked by his words and started coughing. Dugu Cheng hurriedly went over to help her pat her back, "Xi'er, these are just their nonsense. This king is telling you, they just want to prepare you mentally, don't get angry."

Wind Ling Xi finished her breath and looked at Du Gu Cheng, "Next time we eat, don't talk about these things, I'm afraid you will scold me to death."

"Xi'er, would you like to have another round"

Dugu Cheng's expression was very depressed. Could she possibly want him to continue sleeping on the floor

"The rumors are true, it's because I was too fierce and messed up the prince."

"Xier, do you know what I mean by this What they mean is that it's all your doing that I haven't made a move."

Thus speaking, would Xi'er be angry However, Dugu City had looked for a long time but didn't see her anger.

"A mouth belongs to another person, so how they choose to use it is their business. Besides, talking won't cost them any flesh."

She was indeed fierce, otherwise Dugu City wouldn't have looked at her like that.

Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, as if to speak but stopped.

"You're right, forget about them, as long as Xi’er isn't angry."

After finishing his words, he glanced at her. He said she wouldn't be angry, and indeed, she didn't seem angry at all. On the other hand, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

After dinner, Dugu City and Feng Lingxi left the building and rushed to Liu Wangfu. Liu Wangfu was not too far from Si Wangfu. After passing through the General's Mansion, they arrived at Liu Wangfu in no time.

As the rumors said, the Sixth Prince's Mansion did not hold any funeral rites. Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng entered the Sixth Prince's Mansion and, looking at the scene inside, this mansion was far less impressive compared to the Fourth Prince's Mansion; it lacked the grandeur of the latter.

Liu Wangye Dugu Xiu was the son of Yun Gui Fei. Because the Yun family held considerable influence in the capital, Dugu Xiu was among the most favored princes, enjoying considerable favor from the emperor. He was also on good terms with the Crown Prince.

"Fourth Brother's sudden visit, I wonder what you have to instruct"

Dugu Xiu greeted, his gaze falling on Feng Lingxi. He smiled and said, "The Fourth Royal Princess is here as well."

"I've met the Sixth King."

Feng Lingxi greeted him, then found herself under the scrutiny of Dugu Xiu's gaze. The half-smile playing on his lips made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Sixth Brother, Fourth Brother came today accompanied by Xier to see the Sixth Princess."

When it comes to Feng Lingyu, Dugu Xiu's eyes flash with a coldness, and his expression dims. "She is dead, buried by this king himself."

"Excuse me, Sixth Prince, where is my second sister buried I would like to pay my respects."

Dugu Xiu narrowed his eyes, looking at Feng Lingxi's sharp gaze, and suddenly smiled.

"The Fourth Empress' consort needn't go to pay respects to her. During the Empress' birthday banquet, she overstepped her bounds, causing the Empress to be angered, and even made the Fourth Empress' consort waste the Empress' gift for her. It's truly unnecessary to dwell on her."

Feng Ling Xi, listening to his words, felt even more uneasy. If Feng Ling Yu was dead, why wouldn't he let her know where she was buried This kind of obstruction, could it be that Feng Ling Yu wasn't really dead

"Sixth Prince, even though we're both from the same father, she has passed away now. It's only right that I pay my respects."

"Is the Fourth Princess cursing the Sixth Princess to death right here"

A cold voice came, looking at the graceful Feng Linglong approaching, Feng Lingxi's eyes stared at Dugu Xiu, only to see him smiling and saying, "Don't be angry, Fourth Princess, this king is just joking with you."

"How could the Sixth Prince joke about such a thing"

Feng Lingxi's face darkened. "Even if Second Sister made a mistake, you are being too harsh."

"Fourth Sister, please don't be angry. This was all my idea."

Feng Lingyu walked over and, seeing her pale complexion, Feng Lingxi stepped forward, reaching out to hold her, her eyes filled with delight. "Second Sister, you're alive"

Feng Lingyu smiled faintly, "Since the Underworld won't accept me, I can only live a life of hiding and surviving."

"Then why didn't you tell me you were still alive"

"Don't you just come to see me now"

Feng Lingyu countered, looking into her conflicted eyes, and said faintly, "For the sake of you pleading for me, I'll tell you one thing."ants you to take the child back and handle things here, then return to Beijing immediately.Duke Gucheng slowly closed his eyes, "She always worried about whether I would have an heir, never considerin...
