“You’re back just in time, the medicine brewed for father is almost ready, but the rest needs your help.”Dugu City looked at the medicine pot in front of her. No wonder she was still guarding it so l...Dugu Xiu clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, glaring hatefully at Feng Lingxi. He would make her regret her actions today.
"Mother, may I see Yao Feifei again"
Queen Cen glanced at Feng Lingxi, saw her nod, and said in a low voice, “When she drinks the poisoned wine, you take her away, just take her away.”
Dugu Xiu's body trembled violently. He uttered a thank you and left in shaky steps.
"Feng Lingxi, since Yao Feifei's child in her belly is not the Sixth Prince's, why didn't you say it just now Why did you have to wait until the Sixth Prince arrived before telling him Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass the Sixth Prince"
The Empress Dowager questioned coldly, but Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "Your Majesty misunderstood. The reason why I didn't say before was that I wanted to wait until after the matter of Feng Yu Xi was handled before informing Your Majesty. It was just that I didn't expect Sixth Prince to come so quickly. If I hadn't informed Your Majesty, then I would be guilty of deceiving the sovereign."
"I know you wanted to kill Yao Feifei, and now your wish has been granted. When will you set off to the Yao Clan to retrieve the treasure"
"In due time, once we've taken care of matters here, the treasure will be presented naturally."
"How could I possibly trust you"
Wind Ling Xi raised her hand and swore to the heavens, "I, Wind Ling Xi, swear to the heavens that if I dare deceive the Empress Dowager, she shall destroy my entire clan."
Upon hearing such a venomous oath from her, Empress Cen finally calmed down.
“Since you’ve sworn an oath, I believe you. What else do you need to do Tell me everything, and I’ll give you five days. Is that enough”
"Your Majesty, to be honest with you, opening the Yao Clan's treasure vault requires obtaining the map of the treasures from Yao Feifei. Yao Feifei's grandfather stole the map. The treasure vault is heavily guarded with complex mechanisms. Even if I could open it, I might not be able to decipher all the traps."
"Why didn't you say so earlier That way, wouldn't Yao Feifei be able to be killed"
Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen. Seeing her hurriedly shout outside, "Bring a decree from the Empress Dowager, pardoning Yao Feifei's death sentence and bring her before me."
"Empress Dowager, whether we can obtain the treasure map from Yao Feifei depends on you. I'll go to Fengyi Palace to see the Empress Dowager."
Feng Lingxi got up and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
Feng Linglong saw Feng Lingxi leave, and hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty, I will also take my leave."
"Hold on!"
Feng Linglong's body stiffened, and looking at the empress dowager's sharp gaze, she trembled involuntarily. Could it be that the empress dowager wanted to use her as a scapegoat
"This empress remembers that the grudge between you and Feng Lingxi was not as deep as the one with Yu Xi Lai. You helped this empress with a matter."
Feng Linglong's complexion suddenly changed, her eyes flustered as she looked at Empress Cen.
"Your Majesty, what would you have me do"
“It’s been several months since Dugucheng and Fenglingxi got married, but Fenglingxi hasn't become pregnant yet. Now that she's returned to Siwangfu, go and help me find a few clever maids. Dugucheng is a man full of vigor, how can he resist the temptation of beauty”
“Your Majesty, are you planning to have Dugu City take a concubine How can Feng Ling Xi agree to this With her personality, once Dugu City takes a concubine, she will definitely find every way possible to kill them. What happened to the previous concubines who married before this”
Feng Linglong shivered at the thought of Feng Lingxi's ruthlessness. She didn't want to take on this mission.
"How is it, I ask you to do something and you are unwilling"
Feng Linglong saw the Empress Dowager's anger, and hurriedly knelt down. "This servant doesn't dare, this servant will go do it right away."
Fenghui Palace
Wind Lingxi walked into the palace, smelling the thick stench of blood in the air. Her brow furrowed, not even a maidservant was in sight. What had happened to Fengyi Palace
"Help... Help me!"
A faint, sobbing voice reached Feng Lingxi's ears. She hurried toward the Empress's sleeping quarters, and from afar, she saw the Empress lying on the ground, disheveled and covered in blood. Upon seeing her, the Empress reached out a hand, and Feng Lingxi rushed forward to help her up but was startled by the blood beneath her.
"Your Majesty, you..."
The Empress's face was as pale as paper, gripping Feng Lingxi's hand tightly, "Xi'er, save... save me."
Wind Lingxi nodded and hurried to the bed to fetch a pillow and blanket, placing her on the mattress. He held her hand to feel her pulse, his face paling dramatically.
"Did you have a miscarriage"
The Empress nodded, tears streaming down her face, her eyes swollen and red. She had clearly been crying for a long time.
"Don't be afraid, I'll stop the bleeding for you first."
Feng Lingxi searched the Imperial Bedroom but couldn't find any usable medicinal herbs. She hurried to the Empress's side, "Empress, where are the people in your bedroom Didn't the Dowager Empress say that the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau was coming to treat you Where is he"
The Empress wept, clutching Feng Lingxi's hand, "Your Majesty."
Feng Lingxi glanced around. "All the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were removed by him"
The Empress nodded tearfully, "He said he wanted to depose me."
Feng Lingxi's eyes were red-rimmed, gritting her teeth and saying, "This Dugu Yan is truly ruthless, she doesn't even spare her own flesh and blood."
The Empress suddenly let out a sorrowful smile, “He doesn’t know I was pregnant. The child... is gone.”
Feng Lingxi looked at her like this, tears making her heartbroken. She hurriedly supported her and took out a bag from her bosom, "Now I can only give acupuncture, don't think about it, saving your life is the most important thing."
The empress lay there, her eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi, tears silently streaming from the corners of her eyes.
After a stick of incense, Feng Lingxi put away her silver needles and looked at the Empress, soothingly saying, "Rest for a while, I'll get you some medicine when I return."
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Feng Ling's hand tightened around the silver needle, the killing intent in her eyes flashing before disappearing. This scum dared to appear.
The Empress hurriedly grabbed Feng Lingxi's sleeve, tears streaming down her face. Feng Lingxi saw fear and panic in her eyes, the tears at the corners of her eyes made her heart ache just looking at them.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Feng Lingxi stood up and watched Dugu Yan walk in, followed by a dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs.
" attendants, help the Empress to her bed."
獨孤雁 opened her mouth, her gaze falling on Feng Lingxi's body. "I didn't expect you to have the ability to save this lowly person from your mother's place."
"If she's a slut, then what are you"
Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, looking at Dugu Yan now, she truly felt that the original owner had been blind back then, how could she have befriended such a scumbag.
“Audacity! Who dares speak to me in such a manner”
"That's how I speak to the Empress Dowager. Could it be that the Emperor's status is higher than hers Let me remind you, although I am the Fourth Princess Consort of the Yuan Dynasty, I am also the Saint Master of the Yao clan. My relationship with the Empress Dowager is one of cooperation."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan's cold and sharp gaze, without a shred of fear.
"The Empress Dowager's will is for the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat the Empress. Why are you obstructing her"
"Doctor Wang, attend to the Empress."
Dugu Yan waved her hand, and the imperial physicians behind her immediately rushed forward to feel the pulse of the Empress. Dugu Yan just stared at Feng Lingxi like that, her gaze made Feng Lingxi very uncomfortable.
She didn't like the way Gu Yan was looking at her. It made her feel like she was somehow inferior to him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has suffered a miscarriage."ase tell him that I don't have time to see him today, let's talk another day.""Your Highness, the Crown Princess said she only has time today. If you don't see her, I'm afraid there will be no other o...
