Chapter 237: Palace Change 81

been very displeased with him. If he were to defy her at this time, she might become even more resentful of him. However, if he didn't try to help Lingyu, he would truly be finished for life."My lord...Qi MoXuan looked at Feng LingXi's sharp eyes, he knew she would definitely ask this.

Feng Lingxi saw him silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, "My patience is limited."

"Feng Lingxi, have you always been so aggressive"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at the disdain in his eyes, her own gaze turning colder.

"Only someone like Dugu City would find a woman like you acceptable. No wonder the Emperor doesn't want you, you are far inferior to your three elder sisters."

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes darkened, and she warned, "Qian Mochen, if you don't want to say anything, don't waste my time. Also, make it clear that it was I who didn't want Dugu Yan, not him." As for Dugu Yan, she looked down on him.

Xi'er's patience is limited, Qian MoXuan, this king also gives you a limited opportunity.

Dugu Cheng saw Xi'er getting angry, and reminded her, wanting to know the whereabouts of his mother from him, he believed that his mother must still be alive.

"qian MoXuan coldly smiled, "you two really surprised me, but you're ruthless. You used such despicable and shameless means to force me. You win."

Cut the crap.

Feng Lingxi wore a look of impatience, her cold and sharp eyes held back with great difficulty, as if suppressing something for a long time, ready to erupt at any moment.

"The former emperor died from poisoning, as I have said before. You poisoned him. When the current Empress Dowager discovered this, she found poison in Shufei's chambers. Shufei was thrown into the dungeon and committed suicide by poison."

"You're lying! How could Father have died from poison Father's poison was already cured by Xi'er. You're lying! If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you right now."

獨孤城's eyes turned red when he heard that his mother had committed suicide by taking poison. His emotions spiraled out of control, and he lunged forward to confront Qian MoXuan, but Feng LingXi stopped him. Looking at the cold smile on Qian MoXuan's face, she warned, "It seems you won't shed tears until you see a coffin."

Qian Moxuan looked at her, bursting into laughter. He gave her a cold glance and said, "Feng Lingxi, I'm telling the truth. That's what people are saying in the palace. Believe it or not is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Dugu City's eyes blazed with anger. "All the news coming from the palace is decided by them. Only Father and Mother know the truth." He closed his eyes in pain, his shoulders trembling violently, his fists clenched tightly.

Feng Lingxi saw a flash of triumph in Qian Mo Xuan's eyes, then squatted down in front of him, looking at his pale face. “This poison won't take your life, but each time it attacks, you'll be in excruciating pain. The intervals between attacks will become shorter and shorter. Without my antidote, there is only death.”

Qian Mo Xuan let out a cold snort, showing no fear of Feng Ling Xi at all.

"Qian MoXuan, I know you're not afraid of death, and I also know you're secretly hoping your wife and children are in the capital. I can't bring them here, but remember, even if I don't capture them, I can make them in the capital suffer just like you, experiencing the full horror of my poison."

Feng Lingxi's words as soon as they fell, Qian Moxuan's eyes changed abruptly, looking at Feng Lingxi, his face full of anger.

Feng Lingxi, I've told you everything you wanted to know. You still want to harm my wife and children As a queen, don't you have even a shred of compassion

"The truth about my father's death, I don't want it to spread outside the palace walls. I need you to tell me the truth, don't say you don't know."

Feng Lingxi's eyes suddenly turned cold, her voice full of warning.

"Qian Moxuan, your eyes have betrayed you. I know you know the truth."

Qian MoXuan stared at Feng LingXi for a long time, his eyebrows raised, and he sneered, "I really didn't expect it, you actually have some ability."

"Go on."

Feng Ling Xi stood up and looked at Du Gu Cheng beside her. Upon learning that his mother had committed suicide, his face darkened even further, radiating killing intent all over his body. She knew he was truly heartbroken and furious.

The situation now is that I can only first see who killed my father and whether my mother truly committed suicide by poison. I'm afraid there might be foul play involved.

"The late emperor did indeed die from poison, and the poison was the arsenic wine hidden by Consort Shu in her chambers."

"Arsenic wine"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of disbelief. "Mother concubine, how could there be such a poisonous wine as arsenic"

At the sound of "poisoned wine," Dugu City suddenly understood.

"It was the Empress Dowager's poison, she framed my mother. This poisoned wine could only have come from the Empress Dowager."

"How do you presume the poisoned wine belonged to the Empress How could she possibly have assassinated the previous Emperor..."

Qian Moxuan's voice suddenly became agitated, looking at Du Gucheng, "You lied to me, it couldn't be the Empress Dowager's doing."

“This poisonous bird was a gift to the Empress from a foreign envoy. Its appearance is not much different from ordinary birds. This King remembers that the Empress once tested the toxicity of the bird by using its feathers to stir wine and giving it to a palace maid who had made a mistake. The maid died instantly after drinking the poisoned wine, but the poisonous bird was kept by the Empress.”

"Wasn't that crane dead later"

Qian Moxuan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with trepidation, "Could it be that the venomous bird never died at all"

"Whether he's dead or not, this king isn't quite sure, but the poisoned wine definitely only exists in the Empress Dowager's hands. After all, didn't she bestow poisoned wine upon several people"

Qian Moxuan staggered a few steps, his face growing paler. When his family was raided and slaughtered, his mother was given poisoned wine. Now that he thought about it, Qian Moxuan felt a chill run down his spine, unable to believe the truth.

Feng Lingxi looked at Qian MoXuan's reaction, a little strange. How did his complexion suddenly turn so ugly Her medicine should have worn off, there was no reason for it to be this toxic.

After a long while, Qian Mo Xuan finally raised his head to look at Du Gu Cheng, his eyes filled with forbearance, "You're sure the poisoned wine is only available to the Empress"

You are more aware than I am of the Empress's fondness for that bird.

Looking at Qian MoXuan's reaction, Du GuCheng was also a little puzzled. Mentioning the venomous bird, his expression changed, "When Qian Mansion was raided and your mother…"

"Poisoned wine."

Qian MoXuan looked at Dugu City, "This is the poisoned wine."

Dugu City looked at the anger in his eyes, only then did he understand why he would have such a reaction, so that's how it was.

"It seems that it wasn't Father Emperor who wanted to destroy the Qian Mansion back then, but Empress Dowager."

Feng Lingxi looked at Qian Mo Xuan's resentful eyes and said, "So it seems, you're on our side then."

This Dugu Yan really played a good hand. He wiped out the Qian family, overturned the case, and got Qian Moxuan to work for him. This calculation is truly loud and clear. This Qian Moxuan actually foolishly worked his life away for him for so many years.

"Why is it the Qian Mansion"

Qian MoXuan looked at Dugu Cheng, grabbed his arm, his eyes reddened, and angrily questioned, "Tell me, why is it the Qian Mansion"

"You'd have to ask the Empress Dowager about that."

He also wanted to know why it was the Qian Mansion, this Qian Moxuan wasn't the most outstanding either, why did they choose him.

"Why would Dugu Yan overturn your case for you Did he do it on his own initiative, or did you seek him out"

Qian MoXuan looked at Feng LingXi, thinking of when he was most destitute, he had met Du GuYan. She was like a ray of light shining on him, giving his life meaning.ince Huan Yue was to marry Du Gu Cheng, she should not harm him.Although she had endured the wind and frost, and was now leaving, she still wanted to see him one last time. It would be a final farewel...
