Chapter 500: Revenge 144

rd and returned to Si Wangfu."Mother Empress, this matter cannot be taken lightly."Feng Lingxi had just returned to the palace and from afar, she heard Dugu City's voice. She stopped her steps wanting..."Your Highness, Fourth Royal Wife, have you considered it"

Seeing that the other party didn't reply, he asked again.

Feng Lingxi looked at the two of them, "Where did your King tell me to meet him"

In the city, at Fengming Tower, the Wang Ye has already reserved a place to await the arrival of the Fourth Royal Wife.

"Phoenix Tower"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li beside her, "What is that place"

Xiao Li shook her head, she wasn't really going out, how would she know what Fengminglou was.

"Your Highness, Phoenix Pavilion is my lord's winehouse in the capital. Everyone in the city knows it."

Wind Ling felt extremely embarrassed. The whole city knew, how could she not It seems like she needs to go out more often in the future. However, despite being demoted, she was still able to retain her influence here. It seemed that the late emperor still had some compassion for the Third Prince.

"Please wait a moment, I will inform my master and then take you to see the Third Prince."

Feng Lingxi leaned into Xiaoli's ear and said a few words. Xiaoli ran into the palace, and after a while, she came back with a bag, "Your Highness, I have taken care of everything."

Let's go.

"Please come in, Fourth Royal Wife."

Feng Lingxi took Xiaoli onto the carriage and followed them to Fengming Building. Only after getting off the carriage did they realize that Fengming Building was one of the top-ranked restaurants in the capital city. It was difficult to get a seat normally, and those who came here were either rich or noble, all officials and dignitaries. The dishes at Fengming Building were comparable to the culinary skills of the imperial kitchen. Having a meal here was also a considerable expense, not something ordinary people could afford.

Fengming Building has two floors in total. The second floor is all private rooms, which need to be reserved in advance. There aren't many private rooms, but throughout the day, the revenue wouldn't be less than that of any other restaurant.

Feng Lingxi was coming to Fengming Building for the first time. She was brought to a private room on the second floor. Looking at the guards standing at the door, Feng Lingxi exchanged glances with Xiao Li and followed them into the room.

"My Lord, the Fourth Princess Consort has arrived."

Feng Lingxi entered the private room and immediately saw a figure standing up, walking towards her. His handsome face bore a resemblance to Dugu City, but he seemed more enchanting than him. Unlike Dugu City's resolute demeanor, he possessed a captivating allure.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess, please forgive me for taking the liberty of inviting you."

Dugu Yu politely greeted Feng Lingxi. Seeing the alertness in Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes, Dugu Yu was taken aback by her stunning beauty. No wonder she was known as the first beauty of the capital. Dugu Cheng truly was a lucky man.

"Grandfather San is so courteous."

Feng Lingxi greeted and sat across from Duguyu, watching him watch her. His gaze was unabashedly admiring, his expression slightly cold. She didn't like being stared at like this, especially by someone from the royal family.

"The fourth brother is truly blessed. Not only is the fourth princess beautiful and captivating, but she also possesses courage that few can match."

"Three Kings summoned me here, surely it wasn't just to offer compliments. If there's something you wish to say, Three Kings, please speak plainly."

Feng Lingxi's straightforwardness surprised Dugu Yu, who then smiled.

He was just thinking about how to communicate with her, this woman who simply loves to be praised. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be an exception, so forthright and honest, quite a match for Dugu City.

"Since Her Royal Highness, the Fourth Princess Consort has spoken so frankly, this King shall be equally straightforward. The reason I summoned you here today is to inquire about your thoughts on the matter between my younger brother and Imperial Noble Consort Long."

Feng Lingxi looked at the confusion in Duguyu's eyes, her expression cold as she stared at him, "Third Prince, can you answer a few questions of mine first"

Dugu Yu nodded and smiled, "Fourth Princess Consort, please."

To my knowledge, the Third Prince was banished to Liangzhou by the former emperor. I don't know why he has only just returned after all this time

Dugu Yu's smile remained, and he said, "If I were to say that after being banished to Liangzhou, my father pardoned me and allowed me to return to the capital, but it was I who did not come back, would the Fourth Princess believe me"

Feng Lingxi looked at him, silent, but her eyes clearly didn't believe him.

Since he was a prince, he was pardoned for his crimes. Why would he suffer in Liangzhou and abandon his wealth and glory

"This King didn't want to return because of the Crown Prince, who is now the Emperor. The story that this King framed him and wanted to usurp his position as Crown Prince was all a fabrication by him. The Emperor soon found out the truth, but before he could make it public, the Empress Dowager took control of the court. With no choice, the Emperor had to suppress the matter and pardon this King. This King feared that the Crown Prince would harm me, so I stayed in Liangzhou."

When Dugu Yu said this, his eyes were completely unreserved, clear and honest, which made Feng Lingxi a little surprised. She began to believe his words, and the truth of those years could only be known by themselves.

"The Fourth Princess must think that this King's words are empty, but it's understandable. Apart from the Emperor, I believe no one would believe what this King said."

"We don't discuss these past matters. The second question, what brought King San back to the capital this time Why did he come to me to speak about Dugong City"

Feng Ling Xi's question caused Du Gu Yu to smile, "This King returned to the capital because the secret decree Father Emperor gave me has come due. That is to say, the reason why I told you about Fourth Brother, as you asked, was that Father Emperor's secret decree instructed this King to return to the capital and lend Fourth Brother a hand when he is in trouble."

“You said you came back for Duguxing”

Seeing Dugu Yu nod, Feng Lingxi looked incredulous. This Dugu Yu was actually so kind to return and help Dugu City She had never heard Dugu City mention Dugu Yu once. If they were truly brothers with feelings, how could he not mention him at all

"This prince carries the imperial decree given by His Majesty. If the Fourth Princess Consort doesn't believe me, this prince can show you the decree."

Dugu Yu had someone bring out the imperial edict and give it to Feng Ling Xi. Opening the imperial edict, Feng Ling Xi looked at the words on it. She recognized the handwriting as that of the late emperor. Looking at the year on the edict, it did not seem like it was freshly written, but she still couldn't be sure.

Feng Lingxi returned the imperial edict to him, “I can’t be sure if this imperial edict is real. For my third question, since you came back to help Dugu City, aren’t you afraid the emperor will find trouble with you”

Upon hearing her question, Du Gu Yu's eyebrows rose slightly, and a smile gradually spread across his lips.

"Four Consort feels this King would be afraid of him causing trouble"

Feng Lingxi frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.

"I've spent nearly ten years in Liangzhou. If I can't even protect myself, then wouldn't that be ten wasted years" Dugu Yu's confidence made Feng Lingxi hesitate. She did want to save Dugu Cheng, but the way Dugu Yu spoke... she couldn't tell if he was genuine or not. People who are too confident are the most troublesome because it's hard to discern truth from falsehood in their words.

"What are you going to do to save Dugu City"

"I can enter the palace, but Your Majesty requires me to be accompanied by the fourth princess. I cannot enter the palace without a summons, but the fourth princess may."

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly. He even knew she could enter the palace freely, it seemed he had investigated her thoroughly.

"Don't mind, Your Highness. This King has no ill intentions. Investigating you is simply to see if you truly care for my fourth brother."
