Chapter 380: Revenge 24
th 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..."I have important business to discuss with the Fourth Master. Please go over there and wait for me."
Yao Wanting was no longer the timid and gentle woman she had been when she first arrived. The coldness she exuded made Feng Aotien feel uneasy, but thinking about what she had done in the manor these past few days – her ruthlessness and cunning – Feng Aotien, despite his reluctance, simply brushed it off.
"Fourth King, do you have any news of Xi'er I heard that the Empress Dowager was poisoned, and she cured the Empress Dowager. Is this true"
"Xi'er is fine for now. Crown Prince Huangfu just came out of the palace and saw Xi'er."
Yao WanYing looked at Huang Fu QingYun, seeing him nod, she couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.
"It's good that you're alright. I've been feeling uneasy these past two days, worried something might happen to Xi'er."
Yao Wanying took out a necklace from her bosom and handed it to Dugu City, "This is the Zi Xing I made during this time. The materials and workmanship are almost identical to the real one, except that it lacks the ability of Zi Xing. It will definitely deceive the Empress Dowager's eyes. After your wedding, give this Zi Xing to the Empress Dowager and be sure to get the amnesty letter."
Dugu Cheng took out the Zi Xing from his neck and compared it. He couldn't help but marvel at the realism of this fake. If his stepmother hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have been able to tell which necklace was real.
"There's one more thing, Feng Aotian's son is back."
Dugu Cheng frowned, "Are you talking about Feng Yixuan, the one I sent to suppress bandits before"
Yao WanYing nodded, "He joined the Sixth Prince's army and is now his right-hand man. I saw him yesterday, and he's not as frivolous as he was when he first left."
"Unexpectedly, I helped him achieve his goal, leaving myself with future troubles."
Feng Yixuan had an impression of him. He and Xi'er originally planned to eliminate this trouble when paying the fee, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it. Unexpectedly, today he became Dugu Xiu's pawn. If they really had to deal with each other in the future, a tiger father would naturally not have a useless son. Feng Yixuan would certainly not be inferior.
"Let me tell the Prince now, this Feng Yixuan is following the Sixth Prince. You've all seen how powerful the Sixth Prince is. Be afraid, because the Emperor and Empress are not your biggest enemies. The real enemy is the Sixth Prince."
Many people desire this imperial throne. Both the current emperor and the sixth prince are the empress dowager's biological sons. If the sixth prince truly wants the throne, he might be able to help them.
"Just keep watch on him, if Dugu Xiu wants this throne, we'll have less trouble."
Dugu Cheng's eyes were cold. This throne could belong to anyone, but it couldn't possibly fall into Dugu Xiu's hands.
"After you and Xier's wedding, I have to return to the Huaxia Dynasty to fulfill my mission of marriage alliance. If I stay here any longer, it might cause unnecessary suspicion. I will return with my army at that time to join forces with the troops who come to meet us. I'll wait for your notice."
That night, when he spent the night at the Si Wangfu, he realized that his feelings for Xi'er were also something he could let go of. As long as Xi'er was happy and well, he would be content.
Dugu City patted his shoulder, “Huangfu brother, thank you.”
Huangfu Qingyun looked at the gratitude in his eyes, merely responding with a sound. The exchange of glances between the two made Yao Wan'ying on the side feel comforted. Xi'er was fortunate to have them by her side to take care of her.
"This time you help me, in the future, if you need help, I, Du Gu City will definitely do my best to help you."
"You've helped me enough in the Gallosian War."
Dugu Cheng and Huangpu Qingyun's brotherhood made Yao Wan Ying feel deeply touched. She suggested, "Your Highness, if Xi’er's children and your children are of the opposite sex and one boy and one girl, why not let them make up for your regrets"
Huangfu Qingyun glanced at Dugu City with a smile and said, "Let things take their course. If they act this way towards us, what use is it to bind them"
Dugu Cheng patted his shoulder, looking at the bitterness in his eyes. This was something he and Xi'er owed him after all. When the opportunity arose, he would repay this kindness.
Within the palace
Dugu Yan listened to their replies, her sword eyebrows raised. "Both Dugu Cheng and Huangfu Qingyun have gone together, and they said Yao Hua Princess is not Feng Lingxi I absolutely don't believe it."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager believes that Princess YaoHua is not Feng LingXi. Your suspicions like this, if they anger the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid she won't hesitate to reprimand you."
"Damn it!"
Dugu Yan glared at Zhang Gonggong, “I am the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager is protecting her. Who knows if Feng Lingxi gave her some love potion This is so obvious, could it be that I would misjudge Her demeanor, her actions, how could I not recognize them.”
"Your Majesty, why not go and test Princess Yao Hua"
Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, "Where is she"
"She went to the Imperial Garden."
Dugu Yan walked towards the Imperial Garden. Zhang Gonggong's attendant saw them walking far away and quickly left.
Feng Lingxi was strolling through the imperial garden with Xiao Li. Dugu Yan arrived, and Xiao Li hurriedly greeted her. When Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Yan, she turned to greet her respectfully.
"Yao Hua greets the Emperor."
獨孤雁 looked at Yaohua's face and saw that she was calm. She asked faintly, "Princess Yaohua, how are you in the imperial garden"
Feng Ling was at a loss. What was wrong with her in Yu Garden
"Your Majesty, Yao Hua is reflecting."
Feng Ling Xi lowered her head, the obvious irritability between her brows made Dugu Yan raise an eyebrow, "Reflecting on what"
"My older brother scolded Yao Hua in the palace today for being disrespectful. Yao Hua truly doesn't understand; there are so many rules in this palace! Yao Hua wants to leave and live outside, but is afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor won't allow it."
"Oh"
Dugu Yan looked at Feng Ling Xi's sullen expression, "The Crown Prince reprimanded you for not knowing the rules, then how were you in the Chaotic Summer dynasty"
Yao Hua grew up outside the palace with her master since she was a child. After returning to the palace, her father and mother did not restrict her. Yao Hua had learned the palace rules, but she disliked them, so she often spent time with her master.
"So that's how it is. Then what about your master How come you didn't tell him about this big family matter"
Feng Lingxi curled her lips. "Your Majesty doesn't know, my master never leaves the mountain. He wouldn't care about me even if I returned to the palace. How could he come to send me off with a dowry Besides, my master said if I were to marry here and couldn't take care of myself, he would let me poison myself and not disgrace him."
Dugu Yan looked at the cunning fire in her eyes. Listening to this, it sounded quite plausible. This story was well-crafted, no wonder the Empress had been deceived by her.
"Your master is quite ruthless."
"Yao Hua's life was saved by her master, he is very good to Yao Hua, he just doesn't want to spend money."
"I suddenly want to meet your master. When can you introduce me"
Feng Lingxi was taken aback. "Introduce" she echoed, a hint of suspicion in her voice. "Are you trying to see if I'm telling the truth"
"Your Majesty, my father had once asked Master to enter the palace, but Master refused. My father went to see him and was almost poisoned by him. Master dislikes being disturbed by outsiders and fears he will disappoint Your Majesty."
Du Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Princess Yao Hua, I have something I want to ask you. Do you know where Feng Ling Xi is hiding now"king about you everywhere. You want a child, but you don't say it, you don't make it clear, but the wife knows it all, she's been trying to fulfill it for you. But what about you The same amnesia, but...
