Chapter 757: Prison Life 16

Cheng had just sat down when they heard an argument coming from the next table. The two exchanged glances but said nothing."The Fourth Prince doesn't like Princess Yao Hua either. The Fourth Prince l...Feng Lingxi smiled and gave a few reassuring words. Luo Li waved impatiently, and with Li Wuyan, left the palace.

Wind Lingxi returned to the hall. The empress dowager, seeing her come back herself, hurriedly asked, "Where are they"

"I'm out of the palace, it's almost dark."

Men are not allowed in this palace, let alone how could Luo Li bring Li Wu Yan into the inner palace.

"The Empress and the Emperor had originally planned for them to have a meal before heading back."

They still have something to do.

Feng Lingxi knew the Empress Dowager's intentions and smiled, "Next time, if there's a chance."

When Empress Cen heard her say this, her mood also improved a lot. She subtly probed and hinted at a few questions, but Feng Lingxi didn't hide anything. She told her about Luo Li coming here.

However, she herself didn't know what had happened to the Yao clan. Luo Li entered the palace, probably to see how she was doing there and if she was in danger.

After the meal, Feng Lingxi went back to rest. Zhang Mama sent someone to keep an eye on Feng Lingxi and serve her closely. She even spread the word, so Yu Xi knew that Empress Cen had arranged for people to watch Feng Lingxi. Although she wanted to find an excuse, she was afraid of Empress Cen and didn't dare to act recklessly.

Fourth Prince's Mansion

Luo Li and Li Wu Yan arrived at the Fourth Prince's Residence late at night. Upon learning that Dugu Cheng had gone out again, they informed Tai Fei Shu about Feng Ling Xi's situation and then returned.

On the cold street, there were hardly any people left, let alone those who walked like them.

Li Wuyan followed Luoli, the two walking side by side, neither speaking, each lost in their own thoughts.

In the shadows, a pair of eyes closely followed their every step, keeping them under watch as they walked down the street. With a hand gesture, they beckoned to someone behind them. In the darkness, a black figure swiftly moved through the dark streets, approaching them.

"Aya, how many can you handle"

Luo Li suddenly asked, a smile widening on her lips. As they reached this deserted alley, the men in black appeared, about ten of them, masked and armed with swords and knives, their killing intent palpable.

Li Wuyan glanced at them, "Do it yourself, I'm in no mood."

Luo Li hooked her lips, a sinister smile appeared on her face. The smile in her eyes suddenly turned cold. Luo Li reached out to touch the waist and with a flash of cold light, the black-clothed man stood still, blood oozing from his neck before he fell to the ground.

"Look for clues."

Luoli put away her sword without raising her eyelids, tidying her clothes as if nothing had happened.

Li Wuyan walked to the front of the man in black and checked him over, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"There are no leads."

Luo Li glanced at the sky, "Let's go back to rest. It's getting late."

Li Wuyan responded and took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands. His elegant gesture made Luo Li's smile deepen at the corner of her lips.

"Remember to clean up thoroughly, don't leave any trace."

Several figures emerged from the darkness and quickly cleared the scene.

"What does she need me to do"

Luo Li stopped and looked at Li Wu Yan's figure walking ahead with his head down. "A Yan, why are you so good to her Could it be..."

You're overthinking it, she helped me.

Luo Li looked at Li Wu Yan's eyes, which had become complicated.

"I'm helping her right now, can't you see"

Li Wuyan hummed in response and continued walking forward. Luo Li's expression grew colder as she ordered, "Inform Qu Pan'er to come see me."

The sky in the capital seemed to turn cold overnight. When Dugu City returned to Si Wangfu, he learned that Luo Li had visited. Hearing about Xi'er's situation in the palace, Dugu City frowned and looked at Ye Xi beside him.

"Tomorrow, you have them go ahead. This King will arrive later."

Ye Xi looked at the king's weary face, her eyes full of worry, "My Lord, the princess is going to the General's Mansion tomorrow. If you go there, it might cause rumors. Now that Long貴妃 has been killed, I think it's best for you to avoid suspicion."

"What does this king fear What business does the death of Concubine Long have with this king This king only worries about Xi'er. Feng Aotian has never treated Xi'er as his daughter. Now that Feng Yu Xi is framing Xi'er like this, it is nothing more than wanting to make Feng Aotian treat Xi'er mercilessly. If this king does not go, I am afraid Xi'er will be in danger."

As long as Xi'er is safe, he doesn't care how Feng Aotian and the others evaluate him.

"My lord's intentions are clear to me, but the princess is not an easy person to deal with. My lord doesn't really need to go there. Otherwise, we can keep an eye on things secretly. If something happens, we can go help…"

"This king misses her, he must see her."

Dugu Cheng interrupted Ye Xi's words, "That's settled then. Tomorrow, you have them set off ahead of time. When this king finishes dealing with this matter, I will hurry to meet up."

Ye Xi cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will arrange it immediately."

The Lord was stabbed a couple of days ago and his injuries haven't healed yet, he absolutely cannot leave the Lord's side.

The next day

Feng Lingxi left the palace early in the morning. When General's Mansion learned of Feng Linglong's death, they were deeply saddened. The General's Mansion took Feng Linglong's body back for burial. With the General's Mansion in mourning, many officials from the court came to pay their respects.

Wind Ling Xi rode back to the General's Mansion in a carriage, looking at the scene, she frowned and walked down. Zhao Shi saw her at once, tugging on Feng Ao Tian beside her. Seeing Wind Ling Xi, Feng Ao Tian immediately became angry, rushed to her face, raised his hand and was about to hit her, but was stopped by Zhao Shi.

"General, let's talk this out."

Feng Aotian's body trembled with anger, glaring at Feng Lingxi and roaring, "What are you back for Are you trying to get them killed"

Feng Aotiān's words made Feng Língxī's brows furrow slightly. Looking at Fēng Yǔxī who got off another carriage, today she was wearing a plain white dress, with minimal makeup, walking towards her.

"Leaving the palace so early, it seems the Empress Dowager is truly fond of you."

"Your Majesty, I will not argue with you today. I am here to mourn for Noble Consort Long and I have something private to discuss with Father."

"I wouldn't have a daughter like you, stop calling me father! You killed Lingyu, you killed Yixuan, and now you've killed Linglong too. If this is what you become after recovering from your illness, I'd rather you remain foolish for life. At least the General's Mansion could be at peace, and they could all still be alive."

Feng Lingxi heard Feng Aotiantian's words and didn't want to argue with him, but the anger in her heart couldn't be quelled.

What's the point of saying Feng Ling Yu's death was her doing Who did she kill in the end, it all boils down to her taking the fall.

"Why don't you say, I also killed Liu That way, we would have the whole family together, wouldn't it be better"

Wind and Rain Evening slightly narrowed his eyes, "Fourth Royal Consort, is this a fit of pique or are you admitting that these were your doing If it's a fit of pique, just say so at home. But if it's true, then this is punishable by death. Fourth Royal Consort, be careful with your words and actions."

Feng Ling Xi's cold eyes stared at Feng Yu Xi, she was the culprit, a woman hiding the deepest.

"The Empress is absolutely right. I will be more careful with my words. But what I say, Father doesn't believe. He just pinned this crime on me and it won't come off. Unlike the Empress, even if she pushed me off a cliff, she would still be innocent."and walked aside to start writing a letter. Linxi County and Yaozu were not far apart, and he had been to Yaozu before. Although he didn't know about the cliff under the forbidden area, he could let t...
