Chapter 404: Revenge 48
lthough Yexi was very skilled, he was ultimately outmatched by his opponent."Thank you for sparing my life.""What about this deal You couldn't kill me, your buyer will probably want you to pay a hefty..."What"
Dugu Yan turned around in astonishment, looking at the empress. Seeing the bloodstained cloth beside her, she rushed to Feng Lingxi's face and grabbed her collar, questioning, "Feng Lingxi, did you kill my prince!"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan's eyes, which had turned crimson with anger. She said coldly, "It was the Emperor who killed him. When I arrived, the Empress was already miscarrying and lying there on the verge of death."
Du Gu Yan was taken aback by her words, taking a step back and two more steps. She looked at the empress on the couch in disbelief, "You're telling me, my prince was killed by her"
The Empress looked at Dugu Yan's bloodshot eyes, her gaze unwavering, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes. Her voice was hoarse, "What has the Emperor done to me that I need to say it"
The disappointment in his tone made Dugu Yan clench her fists and roar, "Since you're pregnant, why didn't you tell me"
His harem had no princes or princesses. After finally having some good news, it disappeared. How heartbroken Dugu Yan was! He wanted a prince so badly, but why was it so difficult
"If the Emperor had shown the Empress more care, how could he have killed his own child Now that the Empress is like this, does the Emperor regret it"
"You dare to tell me to be quiet It's not your place to discipline me."
"May I have that qualification"
Empress Dowager Cen was escorted in. Upon hearing the news of the Empress's miscarriage, she nearly fainted. Yao Feifei was carrying a child that wasn't Xiu'er's! The Empress had finally gotten pregnant, but now the Emperor had caused her to miscarry. Her two sons, how could none of them ever give her peace of mind
"Mother, how did you come here"
Seeing the Empress Dowager, Du Gu Yan hurried forward to help her up, but she was angrily swatted away by Empress Dowager Cen. She scolded fiercely, "This old woman does not have a son like you! Look at the mess you've made! Feng Yu Xi, that despicable woman, is just a concubine. You pamper her, there should be limits! The Empress is your Empress after all, how can you treat her this way You don't even spare your own flesh and blood!"
"Mother, my son knows he was wrong."
獨孤雁 hastily admitted her mistake. She also regretted it, but it was too late.
"Empress Dowager, the Empress's condition has stabilized. I shall return now."
Wind Lingxi glanced at the Empress, seeing that she was being taken care of, then left Fenghui Palace.
“Mother, why do you indulge Feng Lingxi so She doesn't even regard me.”
"Don't just talk about her! Look at the outrageous things you've done. How did I teach you in the first place Has sitting on this throne for too long made you forget that I, your mother, exist I speak, yet you don't listen!"
"I dare not."
Du Guyan was suddenly enlightened after being reprimanded by the Empress Dowager. He realized that his position as emperor came with a responsibility.
Feng Lingxi has already agreed to wait until things are settled before going to the Yao tribe to retrieve the treasure. With these treasures, unifying the world will be a matter of time.
Dugu Cheng looked at the greed in his mother's eyes, his expression complex.
"Mother, do you truly believe Feng Lingxi will hand over the treasure Even without the treasure, wouldn't conquering the world be tempting And if the treasure is truly that powerful, why didn't Feng Lingxi give it to Dugu City and have him ascend the throne"
Empress Dowager Cen frowned. "You remind me of that.
"Mother, think carefully before doing anything."
獨孤雁見母親後說動了，繼續道，“風淩兮這個女人善於攻心計，這才幾天，朕的後宮就被她弄得雞飛狗跳，她分明就是回來複仇的，這種明顯的舉動，母後難道還看不出來？”
The above translates to:獨孤雁見母親後說動了，繼續道，“風淩兮這個女人善於攻心計，這才幾天，朕的後宮就被她弄得雞飛狗跳，她分明就是回來複仇的，這種明顯的舉動，母後難道還看不出來？”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Empress Cen fell into thought. She hadn't dwelled on these matters deeply.
"Mother, the wind whispers that she knows you desire the Yao Clan's treasures. Her current status as the Saintess of the Yao Clan allows her to act so arrogantly towards you, pressing upon you even in a cooperative relationship. You cannot afford to lose to her."
"I know what you said, but no matter what, the Empress is your Empress. Treat her well."
As Empress Cen left Fengyi Palace, Dugu Yan looked at the bed where the empress lay, her expression slightly troubled. Just then, she heard the voice of Prince Yu outside the palace gates. Dugu Yan said in a low voice, “Let him come in.”
The Prince Consort entered and saw the Empress on the bed. His gaze fell upon Dugu Yan, his face darkening as he greeted her with displeasure, “Your Majesty.”
"Your Highness, the Empress has a miscarriage. You accompany her and speak to her. I have something else to attend to, so I shall leave first."
The Prince Regent watched Dugu Yan's departing figure, clenching his fists in anger and coldly shouted, "Your Majesty!"
獨孤雁's footsteps stopped. The Empress heard the sound of Prince Yu struggling and rolling off the bed. Prince Yu rushed over to help her up, and the Empress cried out to her father, shaking her head, tears streaming down her face.
"Zhao Ran, why are you doing this"
"Father, no."
The Empress weakly called out for the Prince Consort. At this moment, if she spoke rashly, their Yu Wangfu would truly be finished.
The Prince Regent squeezed his eyes shut in pain, his brow furrowed with visible veins. "Your Majesty," he said stiffly, bowing low, "this humble servant bids you farewell."
A few words squeezed out from between her teeth, Dugu Yan left without looking back.
"Clear as day."
The Prince Consort helped his daughter back to her bed, looking at her frail body. The Empress trembled and whispered in the Prince Consort's ear, "Father, go find the Fourth Princess."
The Prince looked into his daughter's pleading eyes, wrestled with his conscience for a while, then nodded.
"Father, listen to me. You must take good care of yourself."
The Empress' eyes were even redder, and looking at her father's worried gaze, the pain in her heart was indescribable. She could only turn it into tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"No more crying."
The Prince wiped the tears from her eyes, unaware that this meeting would be their last.
Feng Lingxi originally thought she could wait for Dugu Xiu to come and settle the score with her, but unexpectedly, the next day she received news that the Empress had passed away. Suddenly, Feng Lingxi felt a blank in her mind, completely unable to believe everything that happened before her eyes.
"Your Highness, the Prince Consort requests an audience!"
Feng Lingxi, hearing that Prince Yu was looking for her, quickly got up and walked over. "Please let him in."
Prince Yu saw Feng Ling Xi, the pain on his face that he was suppressing made Feng Ling Xi feel heartbroken just looking at him.
Little Wang has met the four empresses.
Wind Ling hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, you've overwhelmed me. Please come inside and speak."
The Prince looked around, "Fourth Princess Consort, is the Fourth Prince at home"
The King left early this morning and hasn't returned yet. Did the Prince of Yu seek him out for something
The news of the Empress's passing seems to have escaped the Prince Consort's notice. However, this must certainly anger him greatly.
"This King came to find the Fourth Royal Consort today. Last night, at the third watch, Zhao Ran passed away. Yesterday, this King entered the palace, and Zhao Ran asked this King to come find you."
"Please accept my condolences on the passing of your royal highness."
Feng Lingxi felt a sour taste in her heart. It turned out that the news had broken at three in the morning, but she only found out now.k you, Master Lu."This left Feng Ling Xi puzzled, what was going on with Du Gu Cheng Why had he suddenly become so polite"You needn't thank me, you are Xi'er's husband, this is only right."獨孤城 looked...
