Chapter 587: Conspiracy 73

er, nothing will happen to her. Back then, if I hadn’t been playing and fallen off a cliff, being saved by Feng Aotien, I wouldn’t have had Xi’er with him. Thinking about it now, it’s all fate, just g...Empress Dowager Cen held onto her tightly, pulling her close. This way, Feng Yu Xi would definitely think that she and Empress Dowager Cen were teaming up against her. In this case, if she wanted peace, it would be very difficult.

"The Empress Dowager wondered if the Empress, having failed to achieve her goal this time, would bring it up during lunch."

She had to find a way to pin this on Tai Hou, or else Feng Yu Xi would still come after her. She didn't want to forget the pain and have it happen again. After narrowly escaping death several times, she couldn't be reckless. She couldn't let those who cared about her worry for her.

What does the Fourth Princess think

Feng Lingxi raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, "This Empress Dowager is quite the character. She throws everything to me. Looks like I'm going to have a fiery lunch."

Her beautiful eyes lowered, Feng Lingxi picked up the tea beside her and brought it to her lips. She took a small sip, moistened her throat, lifted her eyes, and smiled faintly, "This depends on how the Empress will come. If she doesn't mention it, I won't say anything. If she does, I'll tell her the truth."

"Speak truthfully"

When Empress Cen saw Feng Ling's disheveled appearance, she nodded slightly but seemed displeased.

"Aren't you afraid she knows too much, and it could hurt you later"

"She probably knows everything she wants to know. There's nothing we could hide from her."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, holding her tea and continuing to drink. The inner hall of the Empress wasn't cold, but the topic had made her feel unusually chilly. This meal, she didn't know what it would turn into, fortunately, Dugu Cheng hadn't come.

"Your Majesty, the Four Lords request an audience."

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes lifted, how did he get here

Queen Mother Cen looked at Feng Lingxi's expression, "Fourth Royal Princess, what expression is this Don't you want to see Dugu City"

Feng Lingxi came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's just a bit of a surprise. He said this morning that he had something to do outside, how did he end up here"

"Transmission."

Dugu Cheng strode forward, paying respects to Empress Cen. His windswept appearance made Feng Lingxi's eyes narrow as her gaze fell on a splash of blood on his sleeve. He was injured

Feng Lingxi got up and walked to Dugu Cheng's side, grabbing his arm. "Are you hurt"

In the presence of the Empress Dowager, one must not be disrespectful.

Alone City gazed at the wind and gave a slight glance. The Empress Dowager, seeing this, hurriedly asked, "Fourth Prince, are you injured"

Dugu City replied, "To the Empress Dowager, I'm just a minor skin injury, it doesn't matter."

"Then you came to see me, is there something important"

Dugu Cheng responded and took out a ledger from his bosom. "Your Majesty, this is what I found on the assassin who tried to kill me today. I specially brought it for you to see."

The Empress Dowager had someone bring up the account book. The moment she opened it, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes, and she slammed her fist on the table in anger. "How dare they! These people are truly despicable. They really think I can't control them Even an assassins list has been written!"

"Assassins' list"

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, then walked to Cen Taizu's front. Looking at the list on the table, after finishing reading it, she frowned slightly, "Tai-hou, do you think how many people on this list are real"

The list had her and Dugu City's names, along with many officials from the city. The string of names that followed were all people close to her and Dugu City.

"Has anyone on this list been successfully assassinated"

Dugu Cheng spoke in a low voice, "Not yet. I presume it's me and Xier they're trying to assassinate."

"It's infuriating! These assassins are so bold. I will make them pay with their lives!"

Empress Cen roared angrily, glaring at Dugu City. “Investigate this thoroughly for me! This time, I want them to know the consequences of breaking the law in front of the Emperor.”

"I obey your command."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

"Your Majesty, I would like to speak with him alone for a few words."

Cen Taizi waved her hand, Feng Ling Xi pulled Du Gu Cheng to the door, grabbed his wrist, her eyes full of worry, "Where are you hurt"

Du Gu Cheng glanced inside, then said in a low voice, "Just a minor injury, this king will handle it himself. As for you, when are you returning to the mansion"

"Not so fast, Your Majesty. I haven't finished speaking with the Empress Dowager yet, and I also need to accompany her and the Empress for lunch. I'll probably be able to return in the afternoon."

獨孤城 frowned, as expected, entering the palace meant monopolizing Xi'er for the whole day.

"This king will pick you up at the palace gate later."

Feng Ling Xi responded and sounded, "Remember to treat your wounds when you get back, or I'll settle the score with you."

Dugu Cheng smiled indulgently, “This king will leave first, be careful yourself.”

Feng Lingxi responded with a start, her eyes lingering on Dugu Cheng's reluctant gaze before she reluctantly withdrew her gaze. She turned to face Empress Cen who stood behind her, and jumped in surprise, "Empress, when did you arrive"

"But I'm reluctant, how come there's no reaction in my stomach until now"

Feng Lingxi hearing the Empress Dowager mention children, her beautiful eyes dimmed, “Empress Dowager thinks that in my situation, when can I conceive a child Even if I do, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep.”

Cen Taizi looked at her downcast expression. Several months had passed since this delay, and if it weren't for the assassination attempt, she would probably already be pregnant. Those damn assassins really added to her troubles.

"This palace will thoroughly investigate these assassins and won't let them go unpunished. You yourself should seize the time and not delay too long."

I know.

Feng Lingxi saw that Empress Cen, when mentioning her children, had become much colder in tone. After all, with their cooperation still in place, the kindness Empress Cen showed her had been diluted considerably.

"There's still half an hour until dinner. Do you want to go for a walk or stay here and chat with me"

"I want to go out to the garden for some fresh air. I've been inside for too long, it gives people the wrong idea."

Then Empress Cen waved her hand. "This old woman is getting tired, you should go for a walk too. When the time comes, I'll have someone find you."

Wind Lingxi paid her respects to Empress Dowager Cen in the morning and then, taking Xiao Li with her, went to the Imperial Garden. Empress Dowager Cen reminded Zhang Mamasan to take good care of Wind Lingxi and prevent her from being disturbed.

After leaving Shougong Temple, Feng Lingxi felt as if her whole being was refreshed. The air she breathed felt invigorating. The days spent in the imperial palace were so grueling; half a day felt like an eternity. She couldn't understand why so many people jostled and pushed to enter these palace gates.

"Your Highness, it seems like it might snow again today"

Xiao Li draped the cloak over the princess, her gaze filled with worry as she watched the smile appear on the princess's face. "You must take good care of your health," she said, "Don't worry me."

Feng Lingxi turned around and met Xia Li's worried gaze, smiling knowingly. "I know, I just came out for some fresh air. Besides, isn't it good that it's snowing now When Dugu City comes to pick me up later, I won't have to walk."

Dugu Cheng would definitely hold her onto the carriage and enjoy the feeling of being pampered, how happy that would be.

Xiao Li looked at the shy smile in the princess's beautiful eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "If the prince saw the princess like this now, he would definitely love her to death."

Wind Ling Xi hurriedly withdrew her expression, turned to look at Xiao Li, and raised her hand as if to tease her. Suddenly, her foot slipped, and her body fell backward. Xiao Li cried out in alarm and quickly tried to catch the princess, but Wind Ling Xi had already fallen into someone else's arms.
