Chapter 351: Seizing Power 106

e Old Madam's eyes showed approval. This daughter of the Feng family wasn't like what people said outside, a fool, but rather decisive when faced with things, with a meticulous mind."You said this mor..."What does the Emperor think"

Perhaps he knew best, that Dugu Yan's act was so transparent. Despite enduring it, Dugu Cheng would one day settle the score with him.

"Fourth Brother is right, I have been negligent. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and clear Sister Xi'er's name."

獨孤城 bowed and said, "I apologize on behalf of Xi'er."

Du Guyan seeing the situation, opened her mouth and asked, "How is Xi'er"

Hearing that Dugu Yan still had the face to ask about Xier, a fire surged within Dugu Cheng, but he suppressed it and replied in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Xier is still alive."

Still alive How ironic. Is Du Gu Cheng accusing him of almost killing Xi'er

Dugu Yan's eyes dimmed, "I know the fourth brother is blaming me. It's my fault that I couldn't protect Xi'er and let her suffer..."

"Your Majesty."

Dugu Cheng interrupted him, he couldn't stand his hypocritical words any longer. “Xi’er is this king’s queen, if anyone is to blame, it’s this king for being incompetent and failing to protect her well, causing her to suffer so much. The emperor is merciful and truly wants what’s best for her, but perhaps he should worry about her less.”

獨孤雁 swallowed the words that were about to leave her lips.

He’s right, Xi'er is the Princess Consort of Dugu City. Now that he says these things, there's truly no point. No matter how eloquently he puts it, Dugu City finds it grating to his ears.

"Fourth brother, today I summoned you to the palace. I believe you already know the reason."

Dugu Yan didn't beat around the bush. "During the summer, Empress Hua of Yao came to marry you as a sign of friendship between our two nations."

"Your Majesty, I will not marry Princess Yaohua. This king's queen for this life is only Feng Lingxi alone, no one can replace her."

"Fourth Brother, you must marry Princess Yao Hua. Don't you want to clear Xi Er of the charge of poisoning our father"

獨孤雁 did indeed use Feng Lingxi to threaten him. Although he had guessed it long ago, hearing it now was particularly grating.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean I don't understand."

Dugu Yan looked at his stubborn appearance, a little annoyed.

"Fourth brother, don't you understand yet The fact that Feng Lingxi poisoned our father is already common knowledge. This time, with the marriage alliance, the Arohsia Dynasty brought Feng Lingxi. As long as you marry Princess YaoHua, the Empress Dowager will pardon Feng Lingxi. Don't you want to save her life"

Dugu Cheng frowned, looking at the anger in Dugu Yan's eyes, his gaze turned colder. "Your Majesty means, as long as this king marries Princess Yao Hua, can he pardon Xi'er for poisoning the emperor and save her life"

"Not bad."

Dugu Cheng sneered and questioned, "May I ask your Majesty, Xi'er has never harmed her father, so why pardon her for this fabricated crime"

“You say she didn’t poison the Emperor, do you have any evidence The imperial physicians initially found that the poison in the Emperor was from the medicine she gave him. This is the evidence of her poisoning the Emperor. Fourth brother, I know you love Xier, but things have come to this, you can't change it. If you want to save her life, marry Princess Yaohua, and I will ask Mother Empress to give her back to you. If you refuse, I can’t help you.”

獨孤雁's words were touching, but they made Dugu City feel sick to his stomach. Looking at his face, the fire in his body burned even higher.

"I'll give you time to think it over. Take some time for yourself to consider."

Dugu Cheng left in anger, Dugu Yan watched his departing figure, her eyes were very complex.

It seems that Dugu City has a difficult time defeating Yao Hua Princess. It seems he still needs to find a way to settle this marriage first before anything else.

Post House

Little Li rushed in and, seeing the princess calmly drinking tea, hurriedly said, "Princess, I just heard rumors that the prince refused to marry you in front of the emperor."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this, raised her beautiful eyes slightly, "Are you refusing to marry Princess Yaohua"

Xiaoli nodded vigorously, puffing out her cheeks and saying, "The prince truly doesn't know that the princess is Princess Yaohua The maidservant heard that the prince and the emperor argued, no matter how the emperor pleaded, he just refused to agree to marry you."

Wind Lingxi handed Xiaoli a cup of tea and smiled.

"Isn't this to be expected If I had just agreed, then I wouldn't be Dugu City."

"Your Majesty, you're still smiling... The King..."

"He won't marry Princess Yao Hua."

Feng Lingxi explained, looking at Xiao Li's sulky face, "Don't forget, you're not Xiao Li now, but Ali, the maidservant of Princess Yaohua of the Arah Summer Dynasty. I am Princess Yaohua of the Arah Summer Dynasty, understand"

Xiao Li only then suddenly understood, "This servant understands."

Feng Ling Xi's smile widened at the corner of her lips, "This Dugu Yan and the Empress Dowager both want to find a way for him to marry Princess Yao Hua. If Dugu Cheng just compromised like this, how could it reflect his feelings for Feng Ling Xi Dugu Yan and the Empress Dowager want to get their hands on Zi Xing, so they will try every means to get Dugu Cheng to agree, and in the process, Dugu Cheng will get what he wants."

As for marrying Princess Yao Hua, she didn't feel jealous either. After all, it was Feng Ling Xi in the end, so what difference did it make

"So what do we do next Are we just going to sit here and wait"

Feng Lingxi put down her teacup, took out the human skin mask and put it on, a smirk playing on her lips, "Of course, I'm helping him. Princess Yao Hua is clinging to Du Gu Cheng, insisting on marrying him. She puts pressure on Du Gu Yan and the Empress Dowager, so that Du Gu Cheng can get what he wants sooner and marry Princess Yao Hua."

Xiaoli looked puzzled, "Your Highness, how can we help the Lord"

"Go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and pester him."

Xiaoli's eyes widened, the princess clinging to the lord

This is groundbreaking!

The next day, Feng Lingxi came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion wearing a veil, bringing Xiao Li with her, but she was stopped at the door by the people of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Just as Xiaoli was about to speak, she heard the princess scolding.

"This princess is Princess Yaohua of the Aoxiang Dynasty, and the future princess consort of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Everyone should give way to this princess."

She is arrogant and domineering, acting to the fullest.

Didn't you hear what our princess said What are you blocking for Xiaoli walked over, pushing the guards aside, and Feng Lingxi dashed inside. The guards were furious, but they couldn't stop them, muttering under their breath.

The Fourth Prince's consort is only one, even Princess Yao Hua can't replace our Fourth Princess.

Feng Lingxi heard their rebuttal, the smile on her lips widened. It seemed that she, the fourth princess consort, was still quite memorable to them.

"My Lord, it's not good. Princess Yaohua has arrived."

Ye Xi got the news and hurriedly went in to report. Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, Yao Hua Wasn't that Xi'er

How did she come here

"Your Highness, Princess Yao Hua has arrived. Would you like to hide"

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi, giving him a white eye. "This is this king's palace, what are you hiding for"

"That's right."

Yexi scratched her head. Feng Lingxi, with Xiaoli in tow, had already entered. Looking at Yexi and Dugu City, her beautiful eyes twitched slightly. This Yexi, when she arrived, she had this expression

Is he clueless, or does he simply not know that Princess Yao Hua is her

"Fourth Lord, my princess is looking for you."

Xiao Li opened her mouth, and Ye Xi looked at Xiao Li's appearance, and suddenly became angry.ghness"Nan Gong Hua Yun's face was filled with shock as she looked at her mother's corpse, then back at Feng Ling Xi's resolute expression. "You're saying my mother had been poisoned all along"“You wo...
