f Empress Shu. It infuriates me!""My lady, I heard that the Fourth Prince is extremely fond of this new wife. She must have used her charm to seduce him. Otherwise, how could a man like the Fourth Pri...Empress Dowager Cen had never regretted anything as much as she did now. Not killing Feng Yu Xi was the biggest mistake of her life.

Feng Yu Xi watched as Empress Cen remained motionless, only able to stare with wide eyes, a smile plastered on her lips.

"Your Majesty, I know what's on your mind. You're thinking of Feng Ling Xi, aren't you My younger sister... she's good in every way, but she's just too arrogant. She thinks she's unbeatable by everyone in the world. But in the end, she doesn't realize her greatest enemy isn't anyone else, it's herself."

Feng Yu Xi put down the medicine, “She thinks she can control everything, but what She doesn’t even know that she is just a pawn, always being used. Only she herself is so naive. Anyway, you are almost dead, it doesn't matter if I tell you, when she dies, you can go to Jiuquan and have a good talk with her.”

Feng Yu Xi said everything, ignoring Cen Taizi's anger in her eyes.

"I guess I just gave you a heads-up, letting you one-up her."

Feng Yu Xi Youyou stood up, "Now, in this imperial palace, you won't have many days left to live. The empress is out of favor, and none of the concubines in the palace can give birth, oh, by the way, doesn't the emperor have a crown prince"

When Empress Cen heard this, her eyes widened, and her furious gaze made Feng Yu Xi smile.

"It's rather lonely for you to go alone. I'll have him accompany you then, so you two can be together like ancestors and descendants reunited, enjoying family bliss."

Upon hearing this, Empress Cen's blood surged, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her head tilted, and she died.

"Empress Dowager."

Wind and rain rushed past, he cried out in a voice, knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly.

"Your Majesty, wake up and look at your servant, Empress Dowager."

Shou'an Palace instantly descended into chaos. News of the Empress Dowager's passing spread rapidly, both within and outside the palace walls.

Linxi County, Feng Lingxi was pricked by medicinal herbs early in the morning. She instinctively licked her finger and panicked inwardly.

"My Queen, what is wrong"

Xiao Li stepped forward, grabbed the princess's hand, and looked at the blood on her face. "Your Highness, please be careful."

Feng Lingxi glanced outside, her heart filled with unease.

"Little Li, do you have any news My heart is pounding with anxiety. It feels like something big is about to happen."

"Your Highness, is there anything the matter The Lord and Miss Wan'er are with the Imperial Dowager. Things have been quiet at the manor these days, a peaceful time. The Grand Dowager even said you should give birth to a healthy boy soon so that Miss Wan'er will have a companion."

"Having a child is not something you can just decide to do."

Feng Lingxi frowned slightly, "By the way, Xiao Li, when you go out later, could you please buy some medicinal herbs from the market We're running low at home."

Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, “I think I should get some medicinal herbs for Wan'er’s medicated bath. I’m still missing some.”

"Your Highness, are you only concerned with Wan'er now because she is willing to be close to you"

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking of Wan'er, her eyes couldn't help but soften.

"After all, she is her own flesh and blood. Besides, knowing the reason why she dislikes me, it was my fault first. Treating her well is what I should do." There's no overnight feud between a mother and daughter, let alone that now Wan'er is willing to eat with her besides calling her "mother," which is already quite good.

"Your Highness, actually Wan'er also wants a younger brother."

Xiao Li giggled mischievously, "Otherwise, you and the King should hurry up and have a child while you're here with nothing to do."

"Let things take their course, there's no such thing as getting what you want."

Wan'er is still young. We can wait until she is older to have a child.

Moreover, although things seem peaceful now, she doesn't dare to get pregnant rashly. There are so many eyes watching her and Dugu City in the palace. If the Empress Dowager passes away, whether they can return to court is one thing, but Dugu Xiu and Dugu Su would definitely cause trouble. She's afraid that at that time, they might be dragged into it.

"The queen is always so far-sighted. There are just too many things happening."

Feng Lingxi smiled, she actually hoped for nothing to happen.

But could the current situation be that she's overthinking things

Feng Lingxi chuckled self-deprecatingly, not knowing what to say.

"Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng strode forward, his expression grave. "I just received news that Empress Cen has passed away."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of shock, and she then calmly said, "I didn't expect her to leave so quickly."

"Your Highness..." Xiao Li looked at the sadness in the Queen's eyes, this was just what she had said, and it turned out to be true.

"It was the wind and rain that kept watch over her until the very end."

獨孤城 sat opposite Feng Lingxi, watching Xi'er's dejected eyes, "Xi'er, this matter is just a bit faster than you imagined, it was going to happen sooner or later."

"I know, this wind and rain are probably just impatient. If we calculate the time, Empress Cen should be able to live for several more months."

"It's all paralyzed, what can we do."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "Father's revenge was actually taken by Feng Yu Xi." Deep down, he felt a sense of unwillingness. He had not been able to personally kill Empress Cen and avenge his father.

"Mother, do you know"

Dugu Cheng shook his head, "I haven't told her yet. Mother has always wanted to avenge Father. Now that Empress Cen has passed away, it can be considered an explanation for Mother."

Wind Ling nodded. “Go tell your mother, she needs to know about this.”

Dugu Cheng responded and looked into Xi'er's eyes filled with despair, "Xi'er, Cen Taifei's death was inevitable. You..."

"I'm fine."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City and smiled, "I wouldn't be sad for her."

Dugu Cheng nodded, then left. Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes darkened, a nameless sadness in them.

Although she and Empress Cen had initially cooperated out of self-interest, Empress Cen genuinely cared for her. No matter what the reason, her death felt like a tragedy to Feng Lingxi. She couldn't help but feel regret that things ended this way.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling sorrow for Empress Cen"

Xiao Li comforted, "Actually, it's nothing. Empress Cen did so many bad things, this is all her retribution."

“Xiao Li, although she was bad, she was still good to me sometimes. Besides, her death was too easy; it wasn't like what she deserved. I even wished for her death before, but now that she's really gone, I feel like she shouldn't have died like that.”

"That was also the wrath of wind and rain, she caused the Empress Dowager to die."

"You also know that Feng Yu Xi is formidable." Feng Ling Xi frowned slightly, "She's powerful, which means that my rivalry with Feng Yu Xi isn't over yet. Perhaps this is only the beginning. Feng Yu Xi could become the second Cen Taizi, and even more insidious than her."

"I don't understand, Your Highness. Is the Consort happy or sad that Empress Cen has passed away"

This wind and rain at dusk is not easy to deal with, they knew it long ago. If even Empress Cen could be removed, what's more a mere wind and rain at dusk

Happy, but not happy.

After Empress Cen, came a storm far worse than Empress Cen. Feng Lingxi also wanted to know if she should be happy or not.

>turned cold. A scream pierced the air, and the two men holding onto Xiao Li were sent sprawling to the ground by a single kick from her. Wind Ling Xi's voice rang out, icy and sharp."If you want to k...
