Chapter 408: Revenge 52

woman wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she was very pleasing to the eye. She looked sickly, but not so weak that she couldn't even walk.The woman, upon seeing the Empress Dowager Shu, looked flustered...Feng Yu's face changed drastically as he looked at Dugu Yan and Feng Ling Xi. He stammered, "Your Majesty, didn't you say last night..."

Before she could finish her words, she was intimidated by Dugu Yan's cold gaze and clamped her mouth shut. Then she heard Dugu Yan ask, "What did I say last night"

"This servant knows her mistake, Your Majesty, please pardon her."

As the storm raged, Yu Xi realized something was amiss. She quickly apologized, unwilling to lose face in front of Du Guyan, nor did she want to be ostracized by him. Otherwise, her position as Empress would be out of reach, and even her status as Noble Consort would be precarious.

Feng Lingxi, seeing Feng Yu Xi's cleverness in this situation, a coldness flashed across her eyes, "Noble Consort Xi's face changed quickly. She’s quite different from how arrogant she was just now."

Feng Yu Xi Qi clenched his fists in anger, but he hesitated to lash out because of Du Gu Yan's presence.

"Forcing a smile, she said, “Your Highness is joking. I was just teasing you a moment ago.”

"Joking around, slapping someone"

"Xi Guifei, I've treated you well all these years, but I never expected such treachery from you. The Fourth Princess is your younger sister, how could you treat her like this You've truly chilled me to the bone. With such a heart, how can you possibly sit on the Empress's throne"

"Your Majesty, this servant…"

The wind and rain caused Feng Yu's eyes to well up. She wanted to explain, but she found that Dugu Yan wouldn't even look at her. Instead, she addressed Zhang Gonggong beside her, "Feng Yu is jealous of the Fourth Princess. From today on, she will be demoted to a Jieyu."

Feng Yu Xi's body suddenly went limp, she almost fell to the ground.

Just demote her directly to Jieyu, not even Zhaoyi

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi's pale complexion, and couldn't believe that Dugu Yan was so ruthless to Feng Yu Xi. This noble consort had been demoted to a junior consort. It seemed that the position in the imperial harem was truly not easy to hold.

"Your Majesty, this servant knows she was wrong. Please forgive her this once…"

"Master Zhang!"

Dugu Yan looked at Feng Yu Xi stepping forward and wanting to grab his arm, she pushed Feng Yu Xi to the ground with a flick of her hand, without even looking at her. That cold and ruthless emperor-like demeanor made Feng Ling Xi feel sorry for Feng Yu Xi. This was the man they had painstakingly tried to marry.

"Your Highness, walk with me."

Dugu Yan walked forward, Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yuxi, and curled her lips into a smile. "Xiu Jieyu, walk slowly, no need to send."

"Feng Ling Xi, I will not lose to you."

Fury clenched his fists, his eyes glared fiercely at Feng Lingxi, wishing he could tear her to shreds.

Feng Lingxi followed Dugu Yan, the two walking one after the other, neither speaking a word. Zhang Gonggong, standing beside them, was the first to speak up, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has arrived."

Hearing that Dugu Cheng had arrived, Feng Lingxi's eyes instantly lit up. She looked up and from afar, she saw Dugu Cheng striding towards them. The joy in her eyes was unconcealable, and this scene, seen by Dugu Yan, was especially piercing.

Why did the woman he had his eyes on first get snatched away by Dugu City During those foolish years, he guarded her. Now that she has recovered, she distances herself from him, even acting against him.

Dugu Yan clenched her fists, the coldness in her eyes piercing.

"Have the Fourth Prince wait in the Imperial Study. I have something to discuss with his Consort."

Feng Lingxi heard Dugu Yan's words, the joy in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by anger. Looking at Dugu Yan wearing the dragon robe, she really wanted to tear it off, it was so dazzling.

Whatever the Emperor has to say to me, or to the Fourth Prince, will be the same.

Dugu Yan gave Feng Lingxi a meaningful glance. "This is naturally different. I called you to discuss private matters, while what I told the fourth brother was about court affairs."

"Your Majesty summoned me because of Consort Xi's incident just now"

"She is now a jieyu, her status is not as high as yours."

Dugu Yan looked at Feng Lingxi's stunning face. Ever since she was with Dugu City, she had become even more beautiful. Now, looking at her, all the other women in the palace paled in comparison. How could she have let her become Dugu City's queen in the past

"Your Majesty is jesting. Even a Jieyu could potentially become the chief consort in the future. By then, perhaps today's events would spell my doom." Feng Lingxi said this, but her application lacked any fear whatsoever. Such audacity made Dugu Yan admire her even more.

If the empress of this harem were as such, how could it be so chaotic.

"Xier, I have something I want to ask you."

Hearing Du Gu Yan call her by her intimate nickname, Feng Ling Xi felt a shiver run down her spine. She had a bad feeling that this person was plotting something against her again.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Although I disliked it in my heart, thinking that I could finish the task and go see Dugu City sooner, I endured it.

After you recovered from your illness, have you really forgotten everything that happened between us

"Your Majesty, why do you ask this"

Couldn't he possibly be wanting to rekindle his old flame with her But she and Dugu Yan never had any past relationship, how could there be a rekindling

"I just don't understand. Ever since you fell ill and lost your memory, you've recovered it now. Surely you wouldn't forget the past"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan wanting to step forward and get closer, she hurriedly took two steps back to keep a distance from him, honestly saying, "Your Majesty, I don't remember the past things, and there is no need to remember them. No one wants to remember that they were foolish. Your Majesty, please don't ask again."

"Fool To you, was your past self a fool"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, meeting Dugu Yan's gaze. "Or else, Your Majesty thinks I could deceive myself into saying that I lived well in the past"

"And what about all that happened between me and your past"

Dugu Yan stepped forward and wanted to grab Feng Lingxi's arm, but she saw her taking two steps back and looking at him warily. "Your Majesty, in front of the Empress's palace gate, please be respectful!"

Feng Lingxi's coldness made Du Guyan's face darken. Looking at the plaque of Fengyi Palace, he suddenly had an idea to shove Feng Lingxi in, but he knew that Feng Lingxi would absolutely refuse. Her current identity was not only the daughter of a general, but also the Saintess of the Yao clan.

Her coldness towards the General's Residence, even when he forced her, she would pay with the entire General's Residence and wouldn't agree.

"Wind howls, and I regret!"

Feng Ling Xi's heart skipped a beat, regretting what

"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Dugu Yan watched her leaving figure, his eyes gradually turning cold. Since he couldn't have her, then he would completely destroy her. Dugu Yan didn't have what he wanted, and neither should Dugu City.

In the study.

Dugu Cheng looked at Dugu Yan who was coming in, feeling the anger on him. His heart sank slightly. Xi'er had angered Dugu Yan again, and he began to worry about Xi'er's safety.

"I have met Your Majesty."

Dugu Yan coldly looked at Dugu Cheng, "I heard that those small countries on the border are making moves, attacking Linxi County. Dugu Cheng, when do you plan to send troops Our great Yuan Dynasty, a powerful nation, cannot allow these small countries to bully us like this"g a kiss on his handsome face, "Like, uncle.""Uncle also likes Wan'er."Feng Yu Mo heard Wan'er say this, feeling extremely good."Sister, Wan'er is so adorable. Grandfather will surely be very happy to...
