mile freezing as he stated it so plainly. Her face flushed with embarrassment, but for the sake of revenge, she could only swallow her pride."My lord, Lingyu knows that she has no face to speak to you..."Empress Dowager, this matter still hopes that the Fourth Princess will give an explanation."
Feng Yu handed the dart to Tai Hou as evening descended, his gaze fixed on Feng Ling Xi filled with suspicion. "It's too coincidental, isn't it You happened to be absent, and there wasn't a maidservant attending to you. This is Shou An Palace, Fourth Princess, shouldn't you explain why you didn't allow anyone to attend to you Prove that you have nothing to do with this"
Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, this Feng Yu Xi was biting down and claiming that she killed Feng Linglong.
He's a tough one, just got out of jail and now he's linking this to her.
"Your Majesty suspects that this humble servant couldn't keep an eye on the Fourth Princess Consort, allowing her to run out and kill Imperial Noble Consort Long"
Empress Dowager Cen was furious and caught the murderer in her Shou'an Palace. This empress is practically starting a rebellion.
Feng Lingxi turned to Empress Dowager Cen and said, "Empress Dowager, this matter was indeed aimed at me by the Empress. I have no way to explain clearly why there was no maidservant attending at this time. I only wanted to be alone for a while, but I didn't expect this to happen."
After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Feng Yu Xi immediately said, "Your Majesty, your servant concubine did not question Your Majesty's meaning. It's just that the assassination of Princess Longgui is indeed strange, and this dart looks very similar to what the Fourth Princess usually uses..."
“I can’t see how you could be compared. You say that the Fourth Princess couldn’t explain the incident with Concubine Long, but I want to ask you, why did Concubine Long die right after you left your Fengyi Palace How would the Empress explain this”
Wind and Rain's face suddenly changed, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this concubine investigated the matter of Long Gui Fei's miscarriage. After speaking with Long Gui Fei, this concubine let her go back. This concubine also felt sorry for her after just suffering a miscarriage, how could this concubine…"
Queen Cen let out a cold snort and glanced at Feng Yu Xi's anxious eyes.
"How can I know if you're lying The Fenghui Hall is full of your people. With Long Gui Fei dead, who can prove what you say"
Facing Empress Dowager Feng's accusations, Yu Xi was speechless. She had never expected Empress Dowager Cen to go this far to defend Feng Lingxi.
"This servant was reckless and hopes the Empress Dowager will forgive me. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and uncover the truth about Noble Consort Long."
"Even if they were dead, what difference does it make Besides, where would you even begin your investigation"
Empress Dowager's words made Feng Yu Xi's heart beat wildly. She raised her eyes to secretly glance at the Empress Dowager's reaction and whispered, "Your servant is foolish and hopes that the Empress Dowager will enlighten me on how to handle this matter."
You need to make things right with the General's Mansion. Figure it out yourself.
As the wind and rain lashed, Feng Yuxi clutched her fists tightly. With Feng Linglong dead, everything should end here. They wouldn't investigate further, and this abortion wouldn't lead back to her. Thus, the scandal of the deposed empress could be postponed for a while longer.
"I will explain to my father. Losing our precious daughter, the esteemed concubine Long Gui, will surely grieve him for a long time."
Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Ling Xi silently, her eyes narrowed, a cold light hidden deep within. She hadn't lost to Feng Ling Xi, but to Empress Cen's protection of her. It seemed that with Empress Cen's backing, it was impossible for her to kill Feng Ling Xi.
Feeling the chill in Feng Yu Xi's eyes, Feng Ling Xi raised her gaze to meet hers. Their eyes locked, and Feng Ling Xi saw a hidden killing intent in Feng Yu Xi's eyes. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the curve of her lips rose slightly.
"Your Majesty, I wish to return to the General's Mansion for a while. I humbly request your permission."
Feng Lingxi suddenly knelt down, her eyes pleading.
What are you going back to the General's Mansion for
She knows about Feng Lingxi and Feng Wudi's relationship, and she's even prepared a decree to sever their parent-child ties. Going back at this time would be like courting a beating.
"Tell the truth."
After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Feng Yu Xi’s eyes grew colder.
"The Fourth Princess is trying to let her father know that the Consort Long lost her child in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and after the Fourth Princess came out of prison, she also lost her life. Do you think your father will believe what you say if you go back and tell him this"
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi's cold and sharp eyes, and decided not to pretend anymore.
"How would the Empress know what I told him He wouldn't listen anyway. Or perhaps the Empress thinks he only recognizes you as his daughter, and all the others are not"
Feng Yu Xi's cold and arrogant expression made Feng Ling Xi so angry, if she couldn't find her handle, she would really want to kill her.
Feng Linglong was stabbed, she must be involved.
She's probably lost her value. This is a chance to get rid of her, and we can still save her. This move is ruthless.
"Fourth Royal Consort, this Empress will have Zhang MaMa accompany you back to the Fourth Prince's Manor tomorrow. Once matters are settled, return immediately to Shou'an Palace."
The Empress Dowager spoke, Feng Yu Xi was very agitated, and still wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
The matter of Concubine Lóngguì was handled by the Empress, as for the child in her womb, the investigation continues. Until this matter is clear, Noblewoman Si will continue to suffer injustices.
"Thank you for your grace, Empress Dowager."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly thanked her, and looked at Feng Yu Xi's eyes even colder, "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 will handle it myself. Fourth Royal Wife, you should just take care of yourself, and besides, if you investigate this matter, no one would believe your words."
"Don't worry your beautiful head, Your Majesty. I am a physician after all, and perhaps I can even find out who poisoned you. You seem so anxious, could this be something to do with you"
Feng Ling's words had barely left her lips when Yu Xi's eyes turned even colder, her voice tinged with a hint of excitement.
"Nonsense. This Palace simply feels you are not qualified to investigate this matter. Don't forget, why you ended up in prison."
Feng Lingxi sneered, why was she imprisoned If it weren't for her secretly causing trouble, how could she have been jailed.
But today, things have reached their peak. The storm and rain outside mirror the turmoil within her heart. Her goal has been achieved; she has successfully eliminated Feng Linglong. Next, it would be Empress Cen. After all, those who protected her now stand in her way.
"Since things are like this, I won't meddle any further. I hope Your Majesty will uncover the truth soon and clear my name."
Feng Lingxi bowed to Feng Lingxi, that half-smile but not-a-smile look made Feng Yuxi let out a cold snort, full of disdain.
Cen Taizi looked at the two of them arguing. She stood on Feng Lingxi's side, naturally protecting her. However, Feng Yuxi was also reasonable. Investigating this matter, Feng Lingxi was indeed inappropriate. She defended Feng Lingxi, I'm afraid Feng Yuxi would have a greater opinion of her, she had to be careful.
"All of you, withdraw. This empress is weary."
Cen Taizi pushed her temples, "This Long Gui Fei matter needs to be dealt with quickly, and she must be buried properly."
"I obey your command."
Feng Yu Xi was leaving with her maidservant, Feng Ling Xi watched Empress Cen, her eyes full of worry.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very strange, it seems to be aimed at me."
Cen Taizi looked at her, "Si Wangfei, you should think this through carefully. If you get involved in this matter and the investigation is unclear, you might end up in prison again."
"I know, I did go out this afternoon, but I didn't go to Yu Garden. Feng Linglong's death has nothing to do with me." indignant. Feng Lingxi quickly soothed her."Aunt, listen to my advice on this matter. Don't act rashly. Although the emperor deserves to die, you alone can only end up with your bones piled white, an...
