er, "Your Majesty, if there is a need, just speak up. Investigating the matter of Long Gui Fei's abortion pills, I am happy to help."Wind and Rain's eyes grew colder, "There's no need, this palace wil...Feng Lingxi's body was slightly stiff. Empress Cen actually wanted to take her as a foster daughter Could it be that she was testing her If she were Feng Lingxi, she would definitely not agree. If she agreed, and later killed her, it would be considered patricide.

Seeing that she remained silent, Empress Cen frowned slightly, "What is it You don't want to"

Feng Ling Xi came to her senses and hurriedly shook her head. "Empress Dowager, Yao Hua was just frightened by your words. How could Yao Hua be so worthy of the Empress Dowager's such great love"

So you agreed then

Queen Mother Cen's gaze made Feng Lingxi nod, and she hurriedly got up to pay respects to Queen Mother Cen, "Mother Empress, please accept Yao Hua's three bows."

"Yaohua, wake up."

Empress Dowager Cen hurriedly helped her up and smiled, beckoning, "Come sit by your mother."

Feng Ling Xi sat beside Empress Cen, agreeing to become Empress Cen's adopted daughter was Princess Yao Hua, not her Feng Ling Xi. After the wedding, there would be no more Princess Yao Hua in this world.

"Mother, Yao Hua doesn't understand, why did you choose Yao Hua"

"You really want to know"

Empress Cen looked at her, and seeing Feng Lingxi nod, she smiled and took her hand, feeling happy.

"Your Majesty doesn't know why either, but she just likes you, this girl. Never has any girl made Your Majesty feel this way before."

Feng Lingxi's face was full of surprise, "There are so many concubines in the harem, and the late emperor also has princesses. Why doesn't the Empress Dowager like them"

How can they compare to Yao Hua Those princesses aren't mine. None of them love me like Yao Hua does.

Empress Dowager Cen let out a long sigh, “In my whole life, I have only given birth to the Emperor and the Sixth Prince. It’s a pity that you like Dugu City, otherwise, if you had married the Emperor, this position of Empress, I would have given it to you.”

Wind Ling quickly got up and knelt down, "Mother Empress, Yao Hua is terrified. This cannot be heard by the Empress, or she wouldn't know how to think of Yao Hua."

The Empress Dowager Cen waved her hand, “Let’s not talk about them, it’s upsetting.”

3010

Feng Lingxi responded, her gaze fixed on Empress Cen's agitated expression. Thinking of Zi Xing's affair, her sympathy vanished.

"Come, Mother will take you to see the dowry Mother has prepared for you."

Empress Dowager Cen took Feng Lingxi's hand and led her to Yao Hua Palace. Looking at the gold, silver, and jewel-encrusted ornaments inside, this dowry was no different from that of a princess getting married, and even better treatment. Feng Lingxi was shocked. Could Empress Dowager Cen really treat her as her own daughter

Such treatment, even if she came here with her family, the dowry of a bride in the summer dynasty wouldn't be any more generous.

The dowry Cen Taizi brought was truly shocking.

"Well, still like it"

Feng Lingxi came back to her senses and, seeing the doting look in Empress Cen's eyes, hurriedly bowed in thanks.

"Mother, this is too much. Yao Hua is just your adopted daughter, these are excessive."

"It's not much, but my adopted daughter is the jewel in my palm. This dowry isn't excessive at all. I want to let Dugu City know your position in my heart. If he dares to treat you poorly, I will settle the score with him."

"Yao Hua thanks her mother for the bestowed grace."

Feng Lingxi's heart was in turmoil. Looking at all the dowry in the room, she was truly frightened by the extent of Empress Cen's favor. She didn't think she deserved this much dowry, even if Empress Cen had a princess. Even without a princess, Empress Cen shouldn't be so kind to her, a cousin princess.

"Your dowry has already been prepared, you will be adorned beautifully for your marriage to the Fourth Prince's manor. Your mother also wants Du Gu Cheng to know, that he is fortunate to marry you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen and told her about her marriage arrangements, as if she had been prepared for it all along and just wanted to surprise her.

"Mother, when did you prepare these Yaohua is truly surprised and delighted."

Cen Taizi (Empress Dowager) looked at the shock in her eyes and smiled, "Since this Empress Dowager has the heart to take you as her adopted daughter, these things will be prepared."

Feng Lingxi looked at the dowry prepared by Empress Cen, her heart was very complicated. It seemed that after the princess Yaohua got married, she would no longer be able to use her identity.

"What's the matter"

Seeing her lost in thought, Empress Cen smiled and asked, "Were you frightened by these"

"The empress treated Yao Hua so well, she didn't know how to react. Yao Hua was just a princess by marriage, yet she received such kindness from the empress."

“You gave Feng Lingxi to me, this is the best reward for me. I won't hide anything from you, Feng Lingxi poisoned the previous emperor. The Fourth Prince wanted me to clear her name before he would marry you. For your happiness, I will give her this imperial decree.”

Feng Lingxi had been quite touched when she heard the Empress Dowager's words. Her heart skipped a beat, a warning bell ringing in her mind. She thought to herself, how could the Empress Dowager truly be good to her It turned out that the Empress Dowager wanted Feng Lingxi for herself.

"Mother, since Feng Ling poisoned the previous emperor, she shouldn't be allowed to live. Why did you clear her name How can she get away with poisoning the previous emperor"

If the Empress Dowager doesn't pardon Feng Lingxi for her crimes, how could Duke Duguo agree to a marriage alliance with you Although Feng Lingxi treated the late Emperor and caused his death, everything that happened is in the past. The Empress Dowager and Duke Duguo have already agreed to clear Feng Lingxi’s name, allowing her to marry you as a consort. She will also hand over the treasures she possesses.

Finally, the treasure was brought up. Feng Lingxi looked at Cen Taifei's righteous words as she demanded the treasure on her body. All of Feng Lingxi's emotions vanished. No matter how good it sounded, it was all for the sake of getting the treasure through her. Her true intentions made Feng Lingxi feel sickened.

"Mother, is this treasure on my body so important"

"Everything belongs to the imperial court; she has no right to hoard it all."

Empress Dowager Cen saw Feng Ling Xi’s concern for the treasure and felt concerned about her. She didn't want to talk to her much, she wanted what she wanted. As for this adopted daughter, if she could be used by her, she would keep her. If not, she would kill her along with Dugu City at that time, ending the trouble forever.

Feng Lingxi, though smiling and chatting with Empress Cen, was inwardly disgusted by Empress Cen's actions. She had the audacity to claim this treasure as hers, treating everyone like fools.

That's so.

Then Empress Dowager Cen, seeing that she wasn't going to ask anymore, said, "It's getting late. Go see Noble Consort Shu. In a few days, after you marry Duke Dugu, she will be your mother-in-law. You should get along well with her; after all, you are all family."

"Yao Hua listens to her mother."

Then Empress Dowager Cen remembered something and told Liu Maama to bring her the prepared bird's nest, "Give this to her to drink. Because you are good to Noble Consort Shu, Dugu City will also be good to you."

Feng Lingxi left Yaohua Palace with a bowl of bird's nest, and the smile on Empress Cen's face gradually faded.

"Grandma Liu, how many days' worth of medicine is left"

"Reporting back to Your Majesty, as you ordered, the day after the wedding, Consort Shu will fall ill from poison. Everything has been carried out according to your instructions."

Liu Ma looked at the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, Princess Yaohua still doesn't know that she served Concubine Shu with poisoned bird's nest. If Concubine Shu becomes ill from the poison, will Prince Si Wang still want her"peror Yuanzhao caused everyone present to kneel down. Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled Wan'er down to kneel."I greet Your Majesty."Emperor Yuan Zhao walked forward and at once saw the scar on Wan'er's fac...
