Chapter 391: Revenge 35

rpose was not to assassinate us.Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "I'm afraid she wants to warn us about something.""None of us have left the manor. What warning are they giving us Are they forbidding...In your eyes, the position of your Sixth Royal Consort is so casual, given to anyone

The smile on Dugu Xiu's face gradually disappeared. He walked behind Cen Tai and kneaded her shoulders, his voice filled with respect, "Mother Empress, everything I do is for you, isn't it Although Yao Feifei has taken the position of Sixth Royal Concubine, as long as she's there, we can find the location of the Yao Clan."

"Are you sure"

Then Empress Cen's eyes narrowed. If Xiu'er was telling the truth, wouldn't Feng Lingxi be deceiving her

"As a member of the Yao clan, how could he possibly not know the location of their territory"

"Bring her into the palace. This palace has something to ask her."

Before the investigation is clear, she absolutely must not believe anyone's words, especially this Yao Feifei. If she believes what Yao Feifei says, what if Feng Lingxi's words are true Then where will she go to get the treasures of the Yao clan

Dugu Xiuxian brought Yao Feifei into the palace. Looking at Empress Cen on the throne, Yao Feifei's face clearly showed a look of fear and confusion.

She never expected that Empress Cen would summon her directly. Her heart was filled with anxiety and unease.

"Are you Yao Feifei"

Cen Taizi's eyes swept over the woman before her. Compared to Feng Lingxi, Yao Feifei lacked the aura that Feng Lingxi possessed when she stood before her. Looking at her timid and hesitant expression, Cen Taizi felt a sense of disgust. How could such a woman be worthy of her son

"Yao Feifei had met the Empress Dowager."

"Today, I summoned you here to ask you a few things. You must answer truthfully."

Yaofei glanced at Dugu Xiu and nodded.

"Do you know where the entrance to the Yaozu is"

Yao Feifei stiffened slightly, meeting the Empress Dowager's sharp gaze and truthfully replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the entrance to Yao Clan is not fixed. It is within the formation. Once a traitor appears within the clan, the entrance will change. Unless it is the Clan Leader, no one else knows where the true entrance to Yao Clan is."

Cen Taihou's eyes narrowed slightly. If what Feng Lingxi said was true, then the entrance to the Yao Clan was indeed only known to her.

"Then do you know the location of the Yao Clan's treasure"

"I know that, I have the location map of the treasure, but I don't have the key to open the treasure."

Then, Empress Cen took out the Purple Star Necklace and placed it in her palm. Yao Feifei looked at the Purple Star, her face filled with astonishment, "How could this Purple Star be in your hands"

"Feifei, how do you speak"

Dugu Xiu coldly rebuked, Yao Feifei came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, this Zi Xing belongs to Feng Ling Xi, how could she so easily give it to the Empress Dowager Isn't this fake"

"Come have a look."

Then Empress Cen placed the purple star in front of her. Yao Feifei stepped forward and took the purple star, examining it carefully. Empress Cen asked, "Well, is it real or fake"

"It does look real, but this Zi Xing's authenticity isn't judged by its appearance, but by its ability. A true Zi Xing, paired with the blood of a Saintess, can open the Yao Clan Treasure Vault. Now I can't say for sure."

Yao Feifei's explanation caused Empress Cen's eyes to narrow slightly, "So you're saying that this Zixing wouldn't be useful even if it were given to me It must have Feng Lingxi's blood."

"I heard it's like this, as for the specifics, I don't know. The Yao clan has never opened the treasure before, and we don't know the exact way to open it, but the blood of the Yao Clan Saintess is essential."

"Well, you seem to know quite a bit."

After Empress Cen finished speaking, Yao Feifei lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.

For some reason, she always felt that the Tai Hou's words held hidden meaning, unlike the simple explanation she had seen. If Feng Lingxi really used the Yao Clan's treasures to capture her, she would be doomed.

"Mother, Fei Fei knows quite a bit. If you want to know anything else, just ask her, Fei Fei will tell you everything."

"Step aside, I'm getting tired and need to rest."

Then Empress Cen spoke, leaning there, closing her eyes to meditate.

Dugu Xiu took Yao Feifei out of the palace. In the Imperial Study Room, Dugu Cheng learned what Dugu Xiu had said to his mother and empress today, a layer of murderous intent appeared in his sword-like eyebrows.

"It seems I truly can't afford to ignore him."

What does it matter what he does Once his throne is threatened, he will surely not get his way.

"Your Majesty, you should go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion tomorrow. I recall that your relationship with Feng Lingxi is quite good. Go and inquire about her plans."

Dugu City wrote a letter and gave it to the Empress, "Give this letter to her."

The Empress received it, her expression darkening slightly.

"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't understand. Why not let Xi Gui Fei handle this matter This palace thinks she would be more suitable than this palace to do it. After all, they are family."

"You sent her to die"

Dugu Cheng's eyes turned cold, "I still have use for her."

The Empress did not say much, only acknowledging with a nod and taking the written notice.

Outside the city, Feng Lingxi brought Xiao Li to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city. Seeing Huangfu Qingyun and the fake Princess Yao Hua, she hurried forward.

"Brother."

Feng Lingxi shouted, and Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi's face. Hearing her call him "brother," he felt very uncomfortable, but he forced a smile and greeted her, "I thought you wouldn't come."

He stayed here waiting for her, just to make sure she was alright.

“Why wouldn't I come I promised my elder brother, I would definitely come. I kept you waiting for so long. Everything went smoothly. It’s just that I made my brother wait and act in a play with me.” This morning, she had decided on this plan with Huangfu Qingyun, without thinking about whether it would succeed. She asked Huangfu Qingyun to act with her, leaving as the fake Princess Yao Hua. On one hand, it was to avoid being pursued by the Empress Dowager and leave the city quickly. On the other hand, it was also because she was afraid that her plan would fail and implicate them.

Huangfu Qingyun reached out and touched her hair, looking at her standing safely in front of him, his eyes softened.

"That's good to hear. I can rest easy knowing you're safe and wait for your good news back at the barracks."

"My elder brother just needs to stay in the camp and let Empress Cen feel the discontent of the Xia Dynasty towards the Yuan Dynasty. Let her realize the crisis, there's no need to take the initiative. Just wait for my news."

Feng Lingxi instructed, looking at the woman beside him, "Today, thank you for your help. I'm sorry to have you pretend to be dead."

"The princess's condition is severe, so it's nothing for us to hesitate to lend a helping hand."

Huangpu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes full of determination, thinking of Cen Taihou's cruelty, she couldn't help but have a trace of worry.

"Xi'er, are you really confident in taking down Empress Dowager Cen What if you fail Are you mentally prepared"

"Rest assured, dear brother. I know my limits and will never disappoint you."

Huangpu Qingyun nodded, looking at her like this, he didn't even have the courage to persuade her. He knew Xi'er wanted revenge, but in this palace, everyone was not easy to mess with. She had washed away her crimes, but she still couldn't change the fact that she was the unfavored daughter of a general. I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to bring down the Empress Dowager.

"Eldest brother, you stationed outside the city waiting for my news, with Dugu City there, it will be successful." "This is what my master told me. In fact, this mark on my wrist is also the same."Luo Juzhou's expression grew even more uneasy, she looked up at Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess, what is the meaning of...
