Chapter 430: Revenge 74

iaoli, please see our guest off!"Feng Lingxi left a sentence behind, ignoring them and leaving on her own.Feng Linglong watched her leave them, and said faintly, "It seems I can only go to the emperor...Yao WanYing saw Zhang's insincere face and felt sick. All this time, she really thought she could deceive people any longer.

"Don't call me sister. If Lady Feng really wants to address me, she should call me 'Saintess' instead. It sounds more pleasant."

"Lord"

Zhang looked at Feng Aotian, her expression slightly surprised. She hurried forward and took Yao Wan'ying's arm, asking softly, "So, are you really the mother of the Fourth Princess"

"Madam Feng asks so clearly, thinking of entering the palace to tell Feng Yu Xi, in order to sell my news and exchange for Feng Yu Xi's noble concubine position in the palace" Yao Wan Ying looked at Zhang shi who hurriedly shook her head. Her face was full of grievance, her eyes filled with disgust.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not your Wind General, and I don't have his tenderness for you, Xi'er. Let's go."

Yao Wan Ying shook off Zhang's hand and, taking Feng Ling Xi with her, walked towards the gate of the General's Mansion. Feng Ao Tian came to his senses and hurriedly followed after them.

"Wan Ying, I disagree with you divorcing your husband."

Yaowan Ying turned around, looking at Feng Aotiān's furious expression, and couldn't help but sneer, "Your wife has long since died from illness. The woman I am now is brought back by you. We have no official documents, no connection whatsoever. I give you this divorce paper only to tell you, you don't deserve it."

Feng Lingxi, hearing his mother scold him like this, also felt a sense of relief in his heart.

She fought back, and fought back beautifully.

A man like Feng Aotien truly doesn't deserve a woman like her. If he had even the slightest love for her, how could he be so cold and heartless

As soon as Feng Lingxi left the General's Mansion, she saw Ye Xi arriving with his men. Upon seeing her, Ye Xi hurried forward and said, "Your Highness, the King has sent us to escort you back to the mansion."

"Where are the others"

Feng Lingxi helped her mother onto the carriage. As she thought about leaving the General's Mansion, there wasn't a shred of sadness in her heart, not even a little bit. In fact, she let out a sigh of relief.

"The Lord has gone out of the city these days and is with Prince Huangpu."

Wind Ling Xi frowned, "How did they end up together"

Ye Xi heard the princess say this and hurriedly explained, "Princess, don't misunderstand. The King met with Prince Huangfu for important business. When the King learned that the princess had left the palace, he immediately ordered his subordinates to return and escort the princess back, ensuring her safety."

Who will protect his safety then

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looked at Ye Xi for a moment, and said, "Go out of the city to find him."

"Your Highness, the King has ordered me to escort you back to your estate and await his return."

Feng Lingxi, hearing Ye Xi insist on sending her back home, didn't want to make things difficult for him.

"I'll go back myself. You should hurry back and protect him. Make sure he stays safe outside." Cen Taihou didn't move, it was hard to guarantee that Dugu Yan wouldn't attack him. Dugu Cheng was in a far more dangerous situation than her.

"Escort the princess back to her residence. Immediately go find the king."

"Ye Xi insisted, "This is the king's order. If I don't complete it, the king will scold me again."

"Xiaoli, leave the city."

Feng Lingxi coldly spoke, Ye Xi hurriedly stopped Xiaoli, "Your Highness, this subordinate will immediately meet with His Royal Highness. Your Highness should return to the mansion first." The Empress's temper was even more difficult to handle than His Royal Highness. One protecting the Empress, one protecting His Royal Highness.

Most importantly, the two of them aren't together, isn't that making things difficult for him

Ye Xi sighed, watching the carriage drive away, before finally leaving the city.

"Mother, I'm sorry today caused you distress."

Feng Lingxi thought of Feng Aotians attitude towards her mother, she was so angry that she clenched her fist, wishing she could beat him up.

Most importantly, because of her, Xiaoli was also slapped by Feng Aotien. She is really cold-blooded.

"Mother has nothing to be wronged about, but you child, how can you bear it so much Didn't I tell you, don't worry about mother, do whatever you want."

Yao Wan Ying watched her daughter endure in silence, she felt heartbroken. This Feng Ao Tian was truly ruthless to both her and her daughter. She really didn't want Xi Er to suffer because of her anymore. Now that the relationship is severed, it's for the best.

Feng Ling Xi took her mother's hand and softly said, "Mother, I don't feel wronged. Now that your identity is exposed, Zhang Shi will certainly tell Empress Cen the news of you being alive. I'm afraid Empress Cen will be after you."

"What are you afraid of I've already died once, what else is there to fear Now, the armies of Dugu City and Huangxia are outside the city. Even if they're unhappy with me, so what I haven't broken any laws, what can they do to me"

But Mother...

Feng Lingxi's heart was still uneasy, "Why don't you hurry back to the Yao clan Just leave this matter alone. With Dugu City by her daughter's side, nothing will happen to her."

"That won't do."

Yao Wan'ying looked at the worry in her eyes, "Mother must stay with you all until things are settled before leaving."

But the current situation, I'm afraid it will still take some time.

Feng Lingxi's worry was for her mother's safety. The Yao Clan could protect her mother, but here, she had no guarantee of keeping her safe. Empress Cen and the people from Dugu City definitely wouldn't let her mother go. They would certainly try every means to capture her and threaten her into doing things.

"It's not that complicated actually. It's difficult to deal with Dugu Yan directly, but there's still Dugu Xiu. His desire for the throne is no less than anyone else's. He's currently leading troops south and north, all to build his own prestige. Now that he holds great power and is the Empress Dowager's son, we just need to fan the flames and I believe Dugu Xiu will make a move soon."

Feng Lingxi thought of Dugu Xiu, her eyes dimming slightly. "Mother means to let Dugu Xiu usurp the throne"

"Not bad."

Feng Lingxi pondered, "The Empress Dowager Cen asked me to depart for the Yao tribe as soon as possible to retrieve the treasure and meet with Dugu Xiu at the border. Mother, this time you and I will return together. We'll still retrieve the treasure, but it cannot fall into Dugu Xiu's hands."

"Rest assured, Mother has already made all the arrangements. When the Fourth Prince returns, you tell him to withdraw his troops back to Linxi County. The army of the Xia Dynasty will continue to be stationed outside the city, and we'll make plans after we retrieve the treasure."

"Then I'll go find Huangfu Qingyun tomorrow and tell him."

It had been a while since I'd seen Huangfu Qingyun. After the Yao Hua incident, he had stationed his troops outside the city and continued to pressure the court for justice. Though the court claimed to be investigating, they made no progress. This stalemate meant the army couldn't advance or retreat, and their supplies would soon become a problem.

As Feng Lingxi had guessed, Yao Wan'ying was indeed Feng Lingxi’s mother. Zhang shi quickly informed Feng Yuxi of this news, and Feng Yuxi then found Dugu Yan to report the matter. This allowed Feng Yuxi, who was once a concubine, to regain her status as a noble consort. Such treatment caused a stir in the palace. There were even rumors that Dugu Yan intended to pass the position of empress to Feng Yuxi. Over this matter, the Empress Dowager and Dugu Yan had a heated argument, but ultimately came to no conclusion.

Empress Cen summoned Feng Ling into the palace. In the Imperial Garden, she saw Feng Yu Xi with her maidservants and nursemaid admiring the flowers. Upon seeing her, she immediately had someone block her path.

"Is the Fourth Princess so anxious that she wants to see the Empress Dowager""Princess, this servant was just talking casually, please don't take it to heart.""You're right, this storm won't just let me off that easy."The Empress Dowager Cen cannot reveal the truth about the Y...
