Chapter 377 Revenge 21

you accompany Xi'er to the banquet. These days, she has grown accustomed to you. This palace will not summon you. I hope you can be mindful of your identity and don't disappoint this palace."As she is..."According to what you say, if they are really the same person, why did Feng Lingxi poison her mother and then give her an antidote"

The Empress couldn't understand. If Feng Lingxi were to return, with such an opportunity, she would definitely not let the Dowager Empress off. Although she suspected it was Feng Lingxi, in the current situation, she didn't want it to be Feng Lingxi. She and Feng Lingxi had been on good terms once, and she didn't want her to come back to die.

"It was to wash away her guilt."

Queen Cen spoke first, and Dugu Yan nodded. "That's right, perhaps all of this was planned by Dugu City and Feng Lingxi."

The Empress looked at the expressions of the Dowager Empress and Dugu Yan, her heart fluttered with anxiety. Could it be that Yao Hua was really Feng Ling Xi Was she truly returning as Princess Yao Hua to seek revenge But now both the Dowager Empress and Dugu Yan were suspicious. Should she remind them

Dugu Yan looked at the queen's panicked eyes and asked coldly, "Your Majesty, why are you so nervous What, didn't you know that Feng Lingxi and Yao Hua are the same person"

The Empress was startled by Dugu Yan's cold voice and hastily said, "Your Majesty, I didn't. I was just frightened by the possibilities analyzed by Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. I didn't expect Princess Yaohua to be Feng Lingxi."

Seeing the Empress's flustered gaze, Empress Dowager Cen reprimanded, "How can you be a mere county princess, and now as the mother of a nation, act with such little composure"

The Empress hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive your servant's indiscretion."

“Mother, right now it's more important to confirm if they are the same person. If not, having a falling out with Araxia would be detrimental to us. This matter requires careful consideration. With 300,000 troops from Dugu City encamped outside, I cannot afford to take risks.”

Speaking of which, Consort Cen's face darkened.

"This lonely city, I shouldn't have kept him back then, what a disaster. What about Xiu'er Has he returned to the palace"

When it comes to Dugu Xiu, Dugu Yan's face changed slightly. She said in a low voice, "Mother, after my sixth younger brother returned from Linxi County, he stayed at home drinking and having fun all day. He met a Yao girl in Linxi County and brought her back to the mansion to be the Sixth Madam."

"Ridiculous!"

Empress Dowager Cen was furious, “This scoundrel! This title of Sixth Imperial Consort wasn't bestowed lightly. He's a traitor from the Yao clan, yet he doesn't attend to important matters and instead seeks amusement for me. How infuriating!”

Seeing that her mother's anger was not light, Dugu Yan hurriedly comforted her.

“I’ll tell him, Empress Dowager, don’t be angry. Just take care of your health.”

Empress Dowager Cen took a deep breath, "Quickly summon him into the palace. I have something to discuss with him."

Dugu Yan still couldn't stop his mother's summons for Dugu Xiu to enter the palace. He could only agree. This Dugu Xiu was the biggest threat to his throne at present. He hadn't had any sons yet, but Dugu Xiu already had two princes. It was also unknown whether his son would inherit the throne in the future.

"Try to find a way to test Yao Hua and see if she is truly Feng Ling Xi. If she is Feng Ling Xi, immediately capture her."

Dugu Yan responded and left with the empress.

Once they left Shuan'an Temple, the Empress spoke.

"Does the Emperor truly believe Princess Yao Hua is Feng Ling Xi"

"Your Majesty thinks I guessed incorrectly"

Du Gu Yan's eyes were cold as she looked at the Empress's furrowed brow, "Empress, please don't deceive me. If I find that you are deceiving me, the consequences, you are also aware of."

"Your Majesty worries too much, how could a servant deceive you It's easy to find out if Feng Lingxi and Princess Yao Hua are the same person."

"I'll leave this matter to you. I trust that with your investigation into the Empress and Feng Lingxi's relationship, you'll be able to uncover her true identity."

Dugu Yan bent down, her gaze locked on the Empress's eyes. Her aura of a natural ruler sent a chill down the Empress's spine.

A human skin mask will crack when it gets wet.

Upon finishing her words, Dugu Yan left.

The Empress's face turned pale. Du Gu Yan had entrusted this matter to her, clearly wanting to test her. If she couldn't find out that Feng Ling Xi was Yao Hua, she might gain glory. But if she failed to uncover the truth and offended Princess Yao Hua, her position as Empress would be in jeopardy.

Her position as Empress was always maintained due to the influence of the Yu fu.

"Your Majesty, should we go see Princess Yaohua now"

A maidservant attending the Empress spoke up, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at the Empress.

Later on, just after Princess Yao Hua had fallen asleep, when she woke up.

Feng Lingxi slept soundly in her bedroom until the evening. Xiao Li had already prepared the meal. Feng Lingxi washed up and looked out at the sky.

Is there any news

"The Queen's people just came by and asked if the Princess has woken up."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, who were the people around the Empress

"Know why you're looking for me"

Just asked a question.

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, washed up and finished her meal before preparing to check on Empress Cen's condition. During this critical period, she still tried her best not to act like Feng Lingxi, wanting to make herself more like Princess Yao Hua instead.

"Princess Yaohua, the Empress has arrived."

Feng Lingxi heard the voices of the palace maids outside, she hurriedly got up and looked at the Empress who walked in, and hurried forward to greet her.

Yao Hua has met the Empress.

The Empress looked at the smile on Princess Yaohua's face. This face didn't resemble Feng Lingxi's at all, and how could Feng Lingxi look like this

"Princess YaoHua, are you going out"

Feng Lingxi responded, "I want to go see how the Empress Dowager is doing. Since she's been detoxified, we need to be extra careful and make sure nothing happens."

She always worried about her mother and grandmother's well-being, but they didn't believe her. The Empress felt sorry for her; it was pitiful that she cared so much about them, yet they were so suspicious of her.

"Princess Yao Hua, this palace has something I want to say to you. Would it be convenient"

Feng Lingxi smiled and greeted the Empress to take her seat, asking Xiao Li to serve tea. Seeing the hesitation in the Empress's eyes, she hurriedly asked, "Empress, is there something you want to tell me"

"Have you always been so carefree This palace has met many princesses who all call themselves 'this princess,' rarely someone like you who calls themselves 'mine.'"

Feng Lingxi was stunned. Could it be that the Empress suspected her identity because of this

"I've never lived in the palace, and staying with my master all day couldn't always be calling myself "princess, princess". My master has a weird temper, if I did that, he'd poison me into silence."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, a helpless expression that made the Empress couldn't help but laugh.

"You're quite similar to the former Fourth Royal Consort. She never called herself 'this consort,' always using 'I' and 'mine.' That was the case even when I first met her. We chatted and felt very close."

Feng Lingxi heard it, this empress was here to test her. It seemed that Empress Cen's side had started to suspect something. This empress must be their undercover agent.

"Your Majesty, it seems to me that what you're saying is that Yaohua shouldn't be competing with Feng Lingxi for the Fourth Prince." and I want the one who has always wanted the princess dead: Yao Feifei.""Yao Feifei"Dugu City looked at Xue Wu Shang in astonishment, "What do you want her to do Do you know her""I don't know, will y...
