Chapter 427 Revenge 71

's appearance, Feng Lingxi truly looked down on him. Fortunately, he had nothing to do with her anymore; otherwise, she would have really wanted to scold him."Fourth Prince, will there be no problem i...Leaving the arrangements for the flower viewing party to Feng Lingxi, Feng Linglong's face was quite pale. She should have been the most favored in this palace, but now Feng Lingxi had stolen her thunder. However, thinking of Feng Yu Xi's fate, Feng Linglong smiled and asked,

"Your Highness, shall this flower viewing feast continue"

Feng Lingxi swept past those court ladies who were still enjoying themselves, "I'm a little tired, why don't you let Long Guifei accompany them and enjoy the flowers properly."

After finishing, he got up and walked toward Shou'an Palace.

"Imperial Consort Long, this is the Fourth Princess you've been fawning over. Look in her eyes, do you see yourself"

Feng Yu Xi walked to Feng Ling Long's side, thinking about her current identity and situation. She hated Feng Ling Xi so much that she gritted her teeth, wanting to pull Feng Ling Long together to deal with Feng Ling Xi.

Fēng Línglóng, however, was not angered by her words. She replied coldly, “It's just something that can't even make it onto the stage.”

When Feng Yu Xi heard this, she got angry.

"Princess Long, don't forget, I am the legitimate daughter of General Fu. If it weren't for you flattering Feng Lingxi, do you think this position as a noble consort would still be yours When she becomes empress, we shall see what you will do then."

After the stormy evening conversation, Feng Linglong slapped Feng Yuxi's face without hesitation. Feng Yuxi glared at her angrily. Feng Linglong frowned and scolded, "Yuxi, don't forget your status. If you dare to talk nonsense and spread rumors again, this concubine will make you swallow your tongue."

When Feng Yu Xi was scolded like this by Feng Ling Long, she glared at her unwillingly, waiting for her. One day, she would make her regret it endlessly.

"Don't blame this empress for not warning you, if this kind of talk reaches Feng Lingxi's ears, just see how she'll deal with you."

Feng Yu Xi covered her face and angrily left.

She refused to believe that she would lose to Feng Lingxi, or to Feng Linglong.

Isn't she just vying for the position of a noble concubine Does she truly believe she doesn't have what it takes

Feng Linglong watched Feng Yu Xi leave, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She had to use Feng Ling Xi's hand to get rid of Feng Yu Xi completely. This Empress position, it could only be hers.

Feng Lingxi left the Flower Viewing Banquet and did not go directly back to Shou'an Palace. Instead, she strolled around the other side of the Imperial Garden. She just didn't want to be with those women and wanted some peace and quiet.

"Your Majesty, when can we leave the palace"

Feng Lingxi, hearing Xiaoli's words, replied calmly, "When the Empress Dowager's condition improves tomorrow, we should be able to return."

This harem, although it comes with power and status, feels more like a cage. It stifles people, making them feel suffocated. Yet, even with this, countless individuals still fight tooth and nail to get in, vying for things that don't rightfully belong to them.

Go sit over there.

Feng Lingxi brought Xiaoli to the pavilion in front and sat down. Looking at the palace maids who came forward to pay their respects, she instructed them to bring some food. Then Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli sat there, watching the scenery by the lake, chatting about old times, feeling happy, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

As Du Gu Yan finished passing through Yu Garden, he saw Feng Ling Xi sitting in a pavilion. Her smile stopped him in his tracks and he stared at her, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has ordered that you must not have improper thoughts towards the Fourth Princess. Please do not argue with the Empress Dowager any further, lest you anger her."

獨孤雁俊臉一沉，“我何時惹怒太後了，我隻是在這裡欣賞風景，怎麼，張公公這樣也要告訴太後？”

"The slave dares not."

Zhang Gong quickly lowered his head. Dugu Yan let out a cold snort, "I know Mother has you keep tabs on my whereabouts, but don't forget, I am the Emperor. This vast land of Dayuan belongs to me."

"Your Majesty, the servant absolutely did not mean it that way."

Du Gu Cheng's expression was displeased, looking at Feng Ling Xi's smile on her face, like the spring wind caressing her cheeks, making him want to go over and get closer to her.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is watching you over there."

Xiaoli spotted Dugu Yan in the distance and hurriedly reminded the princess. Feng Lingxi's smile instantly disappeared, following Dugu Yan's direction with a cold gaze, as if a cold wind was blowing across her face, and even through the air, one could feel Feng Lingxi's coldness towards Dugu Yan.

"Let's go."

獨孤雁 retracted her gaze and left, not behaving like she usually did to come looking for Feng Lingxi. This action made Feng Lingxi astonished, "This Dugu Yan didn't even come to look for me"

"Your Highness, would you like the Emperor to come find you"

Xiao Li asked in a low voice, Feng Lingxi shook her head, “Of course not, it’s just that it doesn’t feel like his usual style. According to his usual behavior, he would definitely pester me for a while. I guess he really listened to what the Empress Dowager said. That’s good too, so I don't have to waste my energy dealing with him.”

This flower-viewing banquet added a dozen or so women to Dugu Yan's harem. Feng Lingxi soon heard which minister's daughter Dugu Yan favored, which one was promised marriage, and which one was bestowed the title of Zhaoyi. Listening to this, Feng Lingxi had to admit, the allure of the throne was undeniable.

Inside Shou'an Palace, Feng Lingxi had just changed the medicine for Empress Cen. Looking at the almost completely faded redness on her face, she handed her a bronze mirror. "Empress Dowager, the redness has almost disappeared. After applying this last round of medicine, you will be fully healed. Congratulations, Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager gazed at the almost completely vanished face, her eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. She took Feng Lingxi's hand and said, "I didn't expect your medical skills to be so superb. I really underestimated you."

"The Empress Dowager has praised me too highly. These illnesses are all treatable by imperial physicians, it's just that no one is willing to use such a prescription to treat the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is of noble bearing and status, so I presume they are all afraid of incurring her displeasure."

These cowards, I raised them, and they dare to hide things from me like this I must punish them well.

Then Empress Dowager Cenzang was furious and about to give the order. Feng Lingxi stopped her, saying, "Empress Dowager, please calm down. These imperial physicians dare not prescribe medicine for you because they are afraid of the ingredients. If there's such a situation, Empress Dowager, allow them to treat you as usual, and they will surely reveal all their skills."

She said this, nothing more than wanting the empress dowager to see her medical skills in a balanced light. If she inadvertently implicated the imperial physicians of the empress dowager's court, wouldn't that earn her hatred Not to mention that Dr. Zhang had also helped her mother before.

"Your Majesty has heard me. Now that my body is well, it's time to talk about the treasure."

Empress Cen took out the Purple Star and placed it before Feng Ling Xi. Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes raised slightly, looking at Empress Cen in confusion, "Empress Dowager, what is this for"

“This purple star is useless on me. The treasure map is on Xiu’er. I have already spoken to him. When you reach the border, find him, and he will return to the Yao clan with you to retrieve the treasure. Feng Lingxi, this Queen hopes that you truly want to cooperate with me, and not just appease me.”

"Rest assured, Empress Dowager. Since Feng Ling Xi has already promised to retrieve the treasure and present it, she will not deceive you. I also hope that the Empress Dowager will agree to my request and remember it."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Empress Cen's eyebrows to raise slightly, "Didn't I already do what I promised you"

"Do not make things difficult for Dugu City and Shutai."eople, so as not to be crowded and hurt yourself.""Your Majesty, I appreciate your concern. I will just observe from here and see if any fish have slipped through the net.""That's not a bad idea.""Sin...
