he had to use Feng Ling Xi's hand to get rid of Feng Yu Xi completely. This Empress position, it could only be hers.Feng Lingxi left the Flower Viewing Banquet and did not go directly back to Shou'an..."Your Majesty, do you know why we arrested the Sixth Prince when we returned to the capital"

This matter has yet to be personally reported to the Empress Dowager. Now it's a suitable opportunity.

"The Fourth Prince has already told me, the Sixth Prince falsely claimed my imperial decree to revoke the military power from Lord Dugu. Moreover, he colluded with the Dan Liao tribe and plotted a rebellion. I know about this, and have investigated it. It is indeed true."

Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress Dowager's eyes, which had become deep. "Dare I ask what the Empress Dowager means Shall the Sixth Prince stay or leave"

"There's no time to spare."

Empress Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, "Although he is my biological son, the fact that he colluded with foreign powers and allied with the Dan Liao tribe with the intention of rebellion has been confirmed. I cannot allow him to make mistake after mistake."

Feng Lingxi understood that to Empress Cen, Dugu Xiu was someone she couldn't control, so Dugu Xiu had to die. And although Dugu Yan occasionally disobeyed her orders, she was the one who helped get her onto the throne.

The Empress Dowager Cen was a shrewd woman. She gave the throne to Dugu Yan because Dugu Yan listened to her, allowing her to hold court and wield considerable power. Dugu Xiu, on the other hand, was ambitious and would sooner or later try to usurp the throne, eliminating her in the process. As long as someone posed a threat to her and had no use value, they ceased to have any meaning in life.

Feng Lingxi was also so, if not for her identity, the treasure of the Yao clan, how could Feng Lingxi have lived to this day.

Similarly, Dugu City is the same. Dugu City doesn't aspire to the throne; she only wants to protect those she cares about. Dugu City is willing to be a war god king to preserve the Great Yuan Dynasty's territory. This is why she compromised and kept the military power in Dugu City's hands.

As long as Dugu City holds steady, even if it means harboring a potential threat, it's better than having Dugu Xiu and Dugu Yu, who covet the throne, constantly eyeing it. Removing them would be more manageable for her; she could slowly take them down one by one.

When Empress Cen saw Feng Ling's fatigue, she fell silent. Her voice softened, "You must be tired too. Go bathe and change your clothes, and rest well. Have dinner with the family later. Rest assured, with me here, no one will dare to touch you."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will rest now."

These days, she hasn't been able to take a proper shower. She had an odor about her, and combined with the prison environment, after being here for so long, Tai was able to tolerate the smell on her body, showing great forbearance.

"Grandmother Zhang, please have people take good care of the Fourth Princess."

"The old slave obeys."

Grandmother Zhang took Feng Lingxi away. Empress Cen rubbed her temples, "Do you think this Fourth Princess can actually help me get the Yao Clan's treasure Can I force it from her"

"Your Majesty, the Four Princess Consorts are trustworthy people."

A public servant near Empress Dowager Cen spoke out, “I’ve heard that after becoming the Holy Lord, the Fourth Princess didn’t forget her agreement with the Empress Dowager. It shouldn’t be wrong.”

"If we could quell the internal rebellion and seize the treasures of the Yao clan, then the unification of the world under the Yuan dynasty would be just around the corner."

Empress Dowager Cen's eyes were full of expectation. If she weren't a woman, this throne would not belong to anyone else.

"The Empress Dowager said, 'This unified empire is within reach.'"

Feng Lingxi, after bathing and changing her clothes, felt refreshed and her spirits lifted. She was much better now. She stayed in a side hall of Shou'an Palace, with servants attending to her needs. This was far superior to the prison cell she had been in.

"Grandma Zhang, I'll rest for a while and go over to keep Empress Dowager company at dinner later."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the time. It was still early, and she wanted to go out for a bit. She still wanted to find an opportunity to investigate the person beside Long Gui Fei. The only question was how she could meet that person.

Fourth Princess, please don't wander about. The Empress Dowager has instructed you to rest well in Shou'an Palace and not go anywhere else.

"I know, Grandmother Zhang, you can rest assured."

Wind Lingxi assured, then Zhang Mama finally left.

Phoenix Hall

Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Ling Long kneeling on the ground, raised her hand, and slapped her across the face with a resounding smack. Feng Ling Long's face burned with pain, she covered her face, and was scolded by Feng Yu Xi until her cheeks were red.

"I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place. Now look, Feng Ling Xi wasn't executed, but I lost my child."

Feng Linglong raised her eyes to look at Feng Yuxi, whose eyes were red with tears. Thinking about the things she had arranged for her to do, and now that everything had been exposed, it was all being pinned on her head.

Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Ling Long's eyes, seeing the unwillingness and anger within them. His own anger flared even hotter.

"What, Your Majesty doesn't agree This child, you use all sorts of ways to blame it on Feng Lingxi, why precisely an abortion pill"

"Your Majesty, didn't you agree to it before Now that things have been exposed, if the Emperor punishes me, you won't escape either."

Feng Linglong is truly fearless now. Yi Xuan is dead, and now, there's only her left. There's nothing to fear anymore.

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent flashed in her gaze.

She knew Feng Linglong had gone all out this time, and leaving her behind would only bring trouble.

"Get up, it's useless to talk about this now."

Feng Linglong stood up and, looking at Feng Yu Xi's attitude, calculated in her heart how to deal with her.

"Go back first. This Palace will find a way to suppress this matter for you."

Feng Linglong said thanks and left with trepidation.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to keep her"

Feng Yu Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold as she looked at the palace maid beside her. She gave the maid a meaningful glance, and the maid left.

Feng Linglong had just walked out of the Fengyi Hall, wondering how to turn the tables, when a whooshing sound came from behind her. Feng Linglong turned around, and a flying dart whooshed into her chest. Feng Linglong only felt a suffocating feeling sweep through her body. She watched a black shadow disappear quickly, pointed her finger in the direction the shadow left, and suddenly someone struck her back. Feng Linglong spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down, her eyes wide open.

"There's an assassin, protect the emperor!"

This was the last thing Feng Linglong heard, her consciousness gradually blurring, her raised hand slipping down, and she breathed her last.

"The Imperial Concubine Long was assassinated!"

"Call for the imperial physician quickly!"

The Imperial Garden was in disarray, the news of Feng Linglong's assassination spreading quickly through the palace. Feng Yuxi arrived first, seeing the dart embedded in Feng Linglong's chest and her lifeless body. She fell to her knees in front of her, sobbing uncontrollably. Her grief was so palpable that anyone watching couldn't help but suspect her involvement.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Linglong was betrayed, and Feng Lingxi became the prime suspect.

Upon hearing of Feng Linglong's death by assassination, Feng Yuxi immediately led people to Shou'an Palace and reported to the Empress Dowager. She learned that during the time of the assassination, Feng Lingxi was resting in the palace. All suspicion pointed towards her. Coincidentally, there were no maidservants in Feng Lingxi's palace at that time. During this period, Feng Lingxi said she wanted to rest, and the maidservants all went busy with other tasks. What was even more peculiar was that Feng Lingxi had also asked Zhang MaMa to leave. All these coincidences made Feng Lingxi once again suspected.

Empress Dowager Cen called Wind Lingxi to confront her. Upon learning that Wind Linglong had been stabbed, Wind Lingxi demanded an autopsy. The autopsy revealed that the dart used was not from the palace, and its shape resembled a surgical knife Wind Lingxi had previously crafted.is heart.Doesn't she want anything to do with him at allFeng Aotien looked at the reluctance in his son's eyes, then at the girl before him, and smiled.
