Chapter 401: Revenge 45
fathom. Your Lordship can only try one by one.""So you're saying that if she likes the kind who shamelessly acts cute, this king has to yield to her"Ye Xi looked at the Prince, her expression already..."Wind-Ling, since the Sixth Royal Consort claims to be pregnant, you should examine her pulse to confirm. If she truly carries the Sixth Prince's child, I ask you to show me mercy and spare her life. But if not, I will execute her immediately and pay you a thousand taels of gold. What do you say"
The words of Empress Cen made Feng Yu Xi and Feng Ling Long, who were standing beside her, so jealous that they went insane. They just gave their pulse to her in exchange for a thousand taels of gold! This Feng Ling Xi is too lucky.
"Your Majesty's words are heavy, but it is merely a pulse diagnosis. If she is truly pregnant, I will spare her life. But if she dares to deceive Your Majesty, I am sure you will handle the situation yourself."
Yao Feifei was trembling with fear. She wasn't sure if she was really pregnant, but her period had been late for over ten days this month, which made her impulsively say those words.
Feng Lingxi grabbed Yao Feifei's hand, looking at her pale face and trembling figure. He kindly reminded her, "You are too tense, I might feel the pulse incorrectly. Whether it is life or death, you need to grasp it well."
Yao Feifei subconsciously touched her belly. Could there be Dugu Xiu's flesh and blood in her womb
Since she's been with the Prince of Gallo, she hasn't taken any contraception. After all this time, wouldn't there be a child
Feng Lingxi checked her pulse, and the atmosphere in the hall became heavy. Yao Feifei held her breath, afraid that Feng Lingxi would tell her she wasn't pregnant.
"Indeed, it is a joyful pulse. Congratulations, Empress Dowager."
Feng Lingxi retracted her hand and looked at Yao Feifei with a deep, meaningful gaze.
Yao Feifei was so frightened that she fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
“What are you all still standing there for Help Sixth Royal Concubine up. The ground is cold, and have the imperial physician come to attend to her pregnancy. Take Sixth Royal Concubine to the side hall to rest.” After hearing that she was pregnant, Empress Cen’s attitude immediately changed. Liu Mamama quickly instructed the maidservants to help Yao Feifei to the side hall to rest. As they passed Feng Lingxi, Yao Feifei looked at Feng Lingxi with a complex expression.
"Feng Ling Xi, this Empress just said what she meant. One thousand taels of gold will be delivered to the Fourth Prince's Manor immediately. What else do you demand Just state it all at once."
Feng Ling Xi's eyes fell on Feng Yu Xi, that smirk, the beautiful eyes swirling for a moment made Feng Yu Xi feel a flicker of fear. Was Feng Ling Xi aiming at her
Since the Empress Dowager has spoken, then my relationship with the Empress Dowager is one of cooperation.
Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, and the look in her eyes towards Empress Cen changed. Although Empress Cen knew Feng Lingxi wouldn't cooperate with her so easily, Yao Feifei and Feng Lingxi both said the same thing, and she didn't need to give up on this cooperation partner.
Furthermore, Feng Lingxi's enemy was the Wind family sisters. After all, Dugu Cheng was also the King of the Great Yuan Dynasty. She, as a princess, even with the Yao tribe as her backing, had to consider her husband's well-being, didn't she Thinking this way, Empress Cen changed her initial opinion of Feng Lingxi. Perhaps, taking her in or utilizing her again would be possible.
As for the Feng family sisters, now that Feng Aotian is crippled and the Feng family has fallen from grace, it's better to abandon them and seize this fat piece of meat from the Yao clan.
"If you think that way, this palace will rest easy."
Empress Cen looked at Feng Yuxi beside her, "Please give the fourth princess a seat."
Feng Yu Xi watched Feng Ling Xi walk towards her, her heart filled with hatred that she wanted to kill her, but she never dared to make a move.
"Empress Dowager, this position of Consort Xi is quite good. It's close to you, let's just leave it like this."
Feng Lingxi helped Feng Yu Xi up, patted the stool, and changed to a different cushion to sit down.
"The Empress Dowager…"
Wind and Rain was so angry at being bullied that she glared. She wanted to complain to the Empress Dowager, but was scolded instead, "It's just a chair! Where else can't you sit"
"I obey."
Feng Yu Xi bit her lip and sat beside Feng Ling Long, watching the smile in Feng Ling Long's eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "What are you smiling at Do you really think Feng Ling Xi will let you go"
"Empress Dowager, do your words from just now still hold"
Feng Lingxi pondered and asked, Cen Taizu's brow furrowed slightly, "Of course, this empress speaks, naturally counts."
"I heard that Her Majesty was punished yesterday and is bedridden. I wonder if I could see her and treat her illness."
"You just gave your chance to the Queen"
Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Feng Yu Xi's anger in her eyes, and smiled to the Empress Dowager, "Now that Imperial Concubine Xi is deeply favored by the Emperor, if I were to ask for someone from the Empress Dowager at this time, it would be difficult for the Empress Dowager. The Empress and I got along well when she was still Crown Princess, I wanted to repay her kindness, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will help me."
"The Empress Dowager is forbidden, matters of the Empress are decreed by the Emperor, and no one is allowed to visit her."
Feng Yu Xi hastily said, that pair of twinkling eyes angered Empress Cen.
"Within this palace, does this concubine have no right to speak"
Wind and Rain hurriedly knelt down, bowing her head and whispering, "Your Majesty, forgive me. I only didn't want Your Majesty to be implicated by the Emperor's anger."
"How could the Emperor take his anger out on the Empress Dowager Could it be that the Emperor now doesn't even care about his own mother"
"Or are you saying that the Empress was placed under house arrest, and you had something to do with it"
"Feng Lingxi, don't talk nonsense."
Wind and Rain retorted angrily, "This concubine and the Empress have always had a good relationship. Your slander is deliberately smearing the relationship between this concubine and the Empress."
“Empress Dowager, the most taboo thing in the inner court is for a concubine to be arrogant because of her favor. The Emperor can neglect his own wife for a single concubine to this extent, it's inevitable that one day this arrogant concubine will also do something to the Emperor's mother. As the saying goes, one must guard against the heart of harming others, but not have the heart to harm others. Empress Dowager, please be careful.”
"Feng Ling Xi, what do you mean by that When have I ever been arrogant and willful You just want to get even with me."
Feng Yu Xi's eyes were red from the tears, looking at Feng Ling Xi like this now, she really wanted to rush up and strangle her.
"Your Majesty, if she dared to kill even her own sisters, what more could stop her from harming those with no blood relation"
Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, looking at the coldness in Empress Cen's eyes. The coldness in her eyes was chilling. Feng Yu Xi, you can't escape this storm.
“Your Majesty Empress Dowager, please don't listen to her. She is trying to take this opportunity to get rid of me. Everything I did was for you, Your Majesty Empress Dowager…”
"Bring Xi Gui Fei here and beat her fifty lashes for me! She's arrogant and presumptuous, attempting to murder the Empress. I decree that the Imperial Physician be sent to Fengyi Palace to check on the Empress' pulse."
Wind and Rain knew about Empress Dowager’s order, crying and begging for mercy, “Empress Dowager, please spare me! Empress Dowager, you can’t do this to me. I did everything according to your orders! Empress Dowager...”
"Drag it down!"
Empress Dowager Cen was enraged, letting the wind and rain wash over Xi as she cried and screamed. Her voice gradually faded away.
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Linglong, who was trembling with fear beside her, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"Elder sister, why didn't you plead for Xi Guifei You wouldn't want her to be punished, would you Have you taken all the benefits that were left for yourself"round, "Let alone whether the Empress Dowager would believe your words, even if she did, so what Do you think the Empress Dowager would jeopardize her chance to cooperate with the Yao Clan for you""In...
