Chapter 746: Imprisonment 5
lightly, "What do you mean by that, Your Highness"Dugu Cheng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. "Do you remember that night Although you defeated me, you also saved my life. If it weren't for..."Mo Huilan, you are being presumptuous!"
Wind and Rain, with a furious voice, roared, "This palace knew about Lady Long's pregnancy a long time ago. I didn't tell the Emperor or Empress Dowager because I was worried that someone in this harem might have ill intentions and want to harm the child in her womb. Lady Long has been in the palace for over a year and now she is carrying a child, so naturally, we need to protect her carefully."
"The empress would probably be the most unwilling person in this palace for Long Guifei to give birth to a prince, wouldn't she What would it mean for the empress if Long Guifei gave birth to a crown prince" Mo Huilan's words turned Feng Yu Xi's face ashen.
"Lan Fei, don't talk nonsense, don't take advantage of being the daughter of Prince Pingbei to be so arrogant in the palace. Don't forget, this palace is the Empress."
"Enough!"
Empress Cen roared, her eyes blazing with cold fury as she glared at Feng Yu Xi’s hateful gaze. “Have you all had enough of making a ruckus in front of me You never stop bickering! All of you, get out of Shou'an Palace! As for Feng Ling Xi's matter, this empress will handle it herself. No one is allowed to interfere.”
"Your Majesty, this matter..."
Even though Feng Yu Xi still wanted to regain control, the Empress Dowager’s icy warning chilled him. Looking at Mo Huai Lan's triumphant gaze, he clenched his fist in anger.
Mo Huilan and Feng Yu Xi walked out of Shou'an Palace, both with angry glares fixed on each other, their eyes radiating icy warnings.
For Mo Huilan, these days she has won several rounds against the stormy situation.
The Empress is truly ruthless this time, even going so far as to use the unborn child of Concubine Long against the Fourth Princess. She claims to be protecting her own sister, but her actions are truly daring and reckless.
Feng Yu Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mo Huai Lan's triumphant smile, her gaze becoming increasingly cold.
"Lady Lan's words are sharp, she truly deserves her favor. It seems Lady Lan also desires this position of mine."
Mo Huilan let out a cold snort. "Your Majesty, this servant dares to advise you: if you do too many unrighteous acts, you will surely perish yourself. In all the world, I've never met anyone as cruel and ruthless as Your Majesty. However, just as Your Majesty said, this servant is truly favored. Therefore, Your Majesty should put in more effort."
Mo Huai Lan finished speaking and walked towards the imperial study.
Feng Yu stood under the setting sun, clenching his fists and glaring with icy eyes.
The Empress actually helped Mo Huilan. She couldn't handle Feng Lingxi, and if things continued to fester, it would be detrimental to her.
If the fetus in Feng Linglong's womb were to be investigated, it would eventually implicate her, causing her nothing but trouble. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity...
"Your Majesty, General Feng requests an audience."
Wind and Rain retracted his gaze, "Return to the palace."
Inside the prison
Feng Lingxi woke up, and it was already evening. She moved, and her whole body ached terribly. It felt like she had been torn apart, paining so much that tears streamed down her face.
"Fourth Princess, are you awake"
Doctor Liu was in the adjacent cell and, seeing Feng Lingxi awake, hurried over to her cell. Feng Lingxi glanced at Doctor Liu, "What are you doing here"
“The Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly said, 'His Majesty ordered me to treat the Fourth Princess here and was afraid that my identity would cause misunderstanding, so he arranged for me to stay here.' "
Feng Lingxi moved her body and looked at Doctor Liu, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Fourth Royal Highness, how is your body feeling Are you any better"
Doctor Liu, with a concerned expression, immediately beckoned to the jailer in the distance. The jailer came over and, seeing Feng Lingxi awake, hurriedly opened her cell door, allowing Doctor Liu to approach and examine her.
Feng Lingxi couldn't help but squint her eyes, "Doctor Liu, what are you doing"
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered me to treat your injuries properly."
>
Feng Lingxi glanced around, the jailer had been changed. It seemed that after she fainted yesterday, it was Dugu Yan who came here, so she was saved from death.
"Did the Emperor come yesterday"
Dr. Liu nodded but said nothing more.
Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Besides the Emperor, has anyone else visited me"
"By imperial decree, no one is allowed to enter this place, so no one has ever been here."
Feng Lingxi sat aside. After she came in, she didn't know how Dugu Cheng was doing outside. He didn't even allow visits, fearing that he would be anxious. This Dugu Yan could protect her, indicating that she wouldn't be harmed for the time being.
However, this time things happened too suddenly, she didn't even expect things to develop like this.
After Liu the imperial physician treated Feng Lingxi, he said in a solemn voice, "Fourth Royal Consort, your injury still needs some time to heal. These few days, you should rest well and avoid being impulsive."
"Doctor Liu, do you know what's happening outside Has the Fourth Prince..."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before Feng Lingxi could finish her words, Dr. Liu hastily said, "Fourth Princess, please don't ask me anything. I truly don't know anything. I, like you, am imprisoned here and know nothing of what is happening outside."
Footsteps echoed from afar. Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up and saw a man approaching from a distance. He stopped in front of Feng Lingxi's cell. Feng Lingxi recognized him; he was someone from Shou'an Palace.
"The Empress Dowager has ordered our family to bring the Fourth Princess to Shou'an Palace for a visit."
"Grand Eunuch Li, the Emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to take away the Fourth Princess. This matter..."
Before Dr. Liu could finish his words, Eunuch Li barked, "Doctor Liu, the Empress Dowager's decree, how dare you disobey and disrespect her"
Feng Lingxi rose and walked over, looking at Li Gonggong with calm eyes.
"Grand Eunuch Li, Imperial Physician Liu is also acting on imperial decree. Grand Eunuch Li, please understand. Please trouble you to convey a message to the Empress Dowager and the Fourth Prince, saying that I don't want to go out for now. Let them know that I am well here and ask them not to worry."
Grand Eunuch Li looked at the bruises on Feng Lingxi's body, his eyes filled with worry, "Fourth Royal Highness, what happened to you"
"Please ask Sir Li to deliver a message for me."
Feng Lingxi pleaded, Li Gonggong looking into Feng Lingxi's eyes, filled with determination, sighed helplessly.
"Alright, let me tell the Empress Dowager first. You stay safe here."
Feng Lingxi nodded and saw off Li Gonggong, then returned to the hay bale and sat down. Liu Taiyi looked at Feng Lingxi in confusion, his eyes full of doubt.
"Your Highness, since the Empress Dowager wishes to see you, why are you refusing to go"
The Empress Dowager's attitude towards Feng Lingxi was well-known throughout the palace. The Fourth Princess could be so arrogant and domineering, how else could she have angered the Empress if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's indulgence
Feng Lingxi looked at her wounds and smiled, "Liu Taiyi, do you think if the Empress Dowager saw my injuries, what would she do Would she reprimand Long Gui Fei"
Dr. Liu swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.
The fact that the Consort Tong beat up the Fourth Princess is understandable, after all, who wouldn't lose control if they were in such a situation
"Doctor Liu, do you also believe that the fetus in Consort Long's womb was poisoned by me"
Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, and Liu Taiyi's reaction couldn't help but make her sneer.
"Doctor Liu is a smart man, how could he believe such nonsense If I wanted to harm the child in her womb, I wouldn't need to be here, would I"
Feng Lingxi's words made Liu Taiyi suddenly realize, "What the Fourth Royal Wife means is that Long Guifei intended to frame you"e and made an agreement to go out tomorrow to look for clues and see if they could find out what happened to Qinghe. Qiu'er, on the other hand, found an excuse to stay at the mansion and refused to go...
