Chapter 572: Conspiracy 59

"Empress Cen narrowed her eyes, "Oh, tell this old woman why it's her. Is it because Feng Yu Xi and you didn't get along well, so you chose Princess Long""Everything has its order, from first to last,..."What are these for"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "When did you become so nosy"

Du Gucheng sighed helplessly, "If it weren't for the Emperor assigning me to investigate this matter, I wouldn't have bothered with these things."

Feng Lingxi heard Dugu City's explanation and couldn't help but frown, "Such matters shouldn't be left to the Empress. You, as a Prince, are involved in these palace affairs"

Dugu Cheng nodded, looking at Feng Ling Xi's puzzled frown. "The Empress Dowager knew that this king had entered the palace and specially summoned this king, asking this king to send you back to the capital. She said that she hadn't seen you for a long time and missed you a bit, and that she had prepared clothes for you to try on."

The Empress Dowager has been getting more and more fond of me.

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a sneer, looking at Feng Aotien's silent appearance. She leaned closer and asked, "Father, why did Long Gui Fei move into the mansion for a few days without incident Isn't it Empress's intention"

"Of course not, she actually returned home..."

Feng Aotien looked at Feng Lingxi's closely approaching gaze and sighed, "She just wants to go back to the house."

"The Emperor is unwell, as a Noble Consort, you should be attending to him in the palace. General Feng surely wouldn't be ignorant of such basic decorum, would he"

Dugu Cheng's words caused Feng Aotian to hurriedly stand up and apologize, "It's all my fault for not managing well. I will go back and persuade Long Gui Fei to return to the mansion less often in the future."

Since General Feng has said so, this matter I will truthfully report to Your Majesty, and thus avoid incurring Your Majesty's wrath upon General Feng.

"Thank you, Four Kings."

Feng Aotian wiped his sweat secretly, he never expected that Long Gui Fei's matter would be watched so closely.

After the meal, Feng Aotien hurriedly set off for the capital. Before leaving, he only entrusted Feng Lingxi to discipline Feng Yixuan well and hurried back to the capital.

"Feng Linglong staying at the General's Mansion for a short while isn't as simple as it seems, is it"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's thoughtful eyes, seeing him nod, she couldn't help but be curious, "What is she going back to the General's Mansion for"

"It's like she has a relationship with a man."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Huang Pu Qing Yun beside him, seeing his surprised eyes, then he understood and listened along with him.

“Eight out of ten times, this wind and rain has something to do with the relationship. Now that the throne belongs to the current empress, isn't this General’s Mansion just a thing in her grasp This Wind and Rain is such a proud person, letting her own mother become a concubine while praising my mother as a madam. If she truly cares about the good of the General's Mansion, no one would believe it. She must definitely be plotting some big conspiracy behind the scenes.”

"What do you think Xi'er's purpose is"

He thought the same way as Xi'er, but his investigation over the past few days had turned up nothing amiss.

Dugu Yan handed this matter over to him, and he felt something was amiss. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be handled by Dugu Xiu. The only explanation was that Dugu Yan had begun to suspect Dugu Xiu's motives.

However, there was no connection between Dugu Xiu and Feng Yu Xi. The two had never met, and since Dugu Yan didn't reveal anything, it was truly difficult to investigate.

"Dugu City, you said that if Dugu Yan's poison was cured and her body recovered, who would be unhappy Conversely, if Dugu Yan's poison took hold and she died, who would be the happiest"

"That's a no-brainer, it has to be Dugu Xiu."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I don't think so, I think it's the evening of wind and rain."

That woman, she gave off a vibe that was too dark. She could bounce back from several failures and take control again. It's clear that the person behind her was the real mastermind. Even Dugu Xiu seemed weak in front of her. What she couldn't figure out was who this mysterious person could be

"Didn't Dugu Yu say that the person behind Fengyu Xi was not from the royal family Then we can rule out Dugu Xiu."

But who else is there in this court

獨孤城和風淩兮對視，兩人眼中皆是一片迷茫。

"Could this person be related to your father"

Huangpu Qingyun suddenly asked, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng both looked at him in puzzlement. “What do you mean”

"Since Lady Longgui is returning home to stay, General Duguyan didn't give this task to Fengyu Xi but entrusted it to you instead. And just now, General Feng's response was that Lady Longgui wanted to return home. His eyes were evasive; he must know the truth."

Huangfu Qingyun's analysis, while logical, lacked evidence.

"Dugu Cheng, I think you need to hint at Dugu Yan. He might know something and have asked you to investigate just as an excuse to look into Feng Yu Xi."

"This king also thinks that Brother Huangfu is right. This matter should indeed be handled by the emperor, and it shouldn't be taken over."

He just didn't want to cause trouble for the time being. Since Dugu Yan had given an order, he could only grit his teeth and carry it out.

"Otherwise, I'll accompany you into the palace. I can speak to the Empress Dowager about this matter. It might be a better solution than finding Dugu Yan."

Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, a little uneasy.

He knew very well Empress Cen's attitude towards Xi'er, it was nothing more than using Xi'er to obtain the Yao clan's treasure, she didn't care about Xi'er's life or death at all. This time, Xi'er could stay out of it, he didn't want her to get involved in this matter.

"Let this King handle it myself, Xier. Don't get involved. The Empress summoned you to the palace, she just wants to know if you are pregnant."

When it came to children, both Huangfu Qingyun and Feng Lingxi's faces changed. Huangfu Qingyun unconsciously looked at Feng Lingxi's abdomen, while Feng Lingxi frowned. She had just been poisoned, where could a child have come from.

"Don't you have anything else to do"

Staring at her belly like that, she truly disliked it. But just as Dugu City said, Empress Cen was eager for her to become pregnant, in order to obtain the treasures of the Yao clan.

"Perhaps it's best to stay out of this and let them handle it themselves."

When Dugu Cheng said this, Feng Lingxi also felt that it was best not to get involved. After the banquet, she would try her best to please Empress Cen. It wouldn't be helpful to say more now.

"Right now, the court situation is at its best. All of you should stay out of it and avoid becoming their target."

Huangfu Qingyun reminded, "If Duguyan has an accident, Duguxiu will be the biggest beneficiary. Dugu Yu naturally wouldn't allow Duguxiu to ascend the throne smoothly, and now that Dugu Yu is cooperating with you, if he pushes the Fourth Prince to the edge of danger, you guys are going to have a hard time."

"Brother Huangfu is right, this is also what this king worries about."

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes drooped, and in this way, if she agreed to cooperate with Dugu Yu, wouldn't it put Dugu City in crisis But now, even if she backed out, it was probably too late. This Dugu Yu might have already told Dugu Xiu.

"Xier, these two days we will return to the manor, my mother misses you. She said she is bored without you these days."

When Feng Lingxi mentioned Shu Taifei, she thought of her child again. Her head started to throb, afraid that her mother would subtly ask about it.

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's tightly furrowed brows and softly said, "Mother knows, she won't force you to have a child."

Feng Lingxi awkwardly chuckled, turning her head just to meet Huangpu Qingyun's intense gaze. The tenderness in his eyes made Feng Lingxi quickly avert her gaze, feeling flustered and unsure of what to do.
