r medical advice. However, these visits were all intercepted by Shutai Fei.These people, on the surface all came to visit, but each one had ulterior motives. Shutai refused to let Xier be involved, so..."Your Majesty understands your intentions. You don't want Dugu City to marry Luo Juzhou, and Your Majesty promises you."

Queen Mother Cen was agreeable, but Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly. “Your Majesty, with this much favoritism from you, if word gets out, I’m afraid it will cause gossip again. However, being here, thank Your Majesty for your kindness. But, Princess Luo has also reached marriageable age. This time coming to the capital, Prince Pingxi is also here for her marriage. If he returns empty-handed, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."

The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed slightly, "What does the Fourth Princess want Your Majesty to do"

Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare. I just feel that someone as kind as Luo Juzhou would be wronged if she entered the palace and had to deal with schemes and betrayals every day."

By this point, Empress Cen knew what she meant.

"Your Majesty, as for this matter of Luoju Zhou, I will not allow her to marry Dugu Cheng as she wishes. However, I hope you understand that my agreement with you is because you are the Holy Master of Yao Clan, and we have a mutually beneficial relationship."

“Of course I understand that. As for the Yao Clan, I’m already handling it over there. It just takes some time. The Empress Dowager should also know that many countries in the world are interested in the Yao Clan, not just the Great Yuan Dynasty. Dealing with this requires convincing the clan leader and the ancient elders of the Yao Clan.”

"You handle matters, and I shall rest assured. Don't let my trust in you go to waste."

Queen Cen's expression improved slightly. Feng Lingxi spoke, she never fully trusted anyone, but regarding the Yao clan, she couldn't find any information. Now, the situation in the court was unstable, and Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng were unshakable figures. She invited the three kings to enter the capital hoping to improve the situation. She had planned for Luo Juzhou to marry into the Fourth Prince's residence, but she didn't expect this girl to be so foolish.

She is not a match for Feng Lingxi. Bringing her into the Four King's Manor and giving her the position of Fourth Princess wouldn't allow her to harm Feng Lingxi; instead, it would make Feng Lingxi resent her, leading to a rift between them. At that point, the Yao clan would refuse to cooperate with her, and Dugu Cheng would also side with Feng Lingxi, making the situation a loss for her.

"Rest assured, Empress Dowager. I, Feng Lingxi, will fulfill my promise. As long as you believe in me, your wishes will come true." Feng Lingxi's face was full of confidence, and the Empress Dowager nodded.

Thus, this humble consort can rest assured.

Grandmother Zhang carried in the bird's nest and presented it to Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess, please use this."

"Thank you, Grandmother Zhang. It's just that I injured my body when I returned to the Yao tribe last year. There is too much dampness in my body. This bird's nest is too nourishing and I'm afraid I can't handle it. It's better to give it to Grandmother Zhang instead."

"Since you're not feeling well, you should take good care of yourself. This bird's nest is top-quality and beneficial for you."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the bird's nest in front of her, "Even if you drink this bird's nest, it will be impossible to conceive within three months. I'm afraid I've disappointed Empress Dowager's good intentions." After finishing speaking, she sighed with regret, and that lost look made Empress Dowager Cen raise an eyebrow.

"We'll talk about the pregnancy later. Besides, you're busy with the Yao clan matters right now. Just let things take their course naturally when it comes to the pregnancy."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Feng Ling Xi then smiled, holding the bird's nest and savoring it slowly.

Today I entered the palace, everything has been settled, now it depends on how the Empress Dowager speaks.

"It's been ages since I last came, and now that I'm here, there's a mountain of things to do."

"Empress Dowager's tone carried a hint of complaint, Feng Lingxi wiped her lips, walked to her and knelt down, gently kneading her arm, her tone softened slightly, 'Empress Dowager knows why I haven't come these days, but now that Empress Dowager is healthy and has Lady Lanfei in the palace, it doesn't matter whether I come or not.'"

This is a continuation of the previous text.

"You make it sound so easy, but this Lan Fei doesn't know medicine. When I'm feeling unwell, she can only call for the imperial physicians. She can't possibly take care of me like you do."

Feng Lingxi took the pulse and had already begun treatment.

The Empress Dowager is just worried that someone in the palace would harm her. The Wind and Rain has been quiet for quite some time, she hasn't made a move for a long while, and she's also curious what she has been doing in the palace these days.

"The Empress Dowager is in good health, only needing to pay attention to her rest."

Then Empress Cen leisurely straightened her body and said, “It’s still most comfortable to have you by my side. In this palace, there isn’t even a single person who can offer a kind word.”

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing Empress Dowager Cen's words, widened the smile on her lips. "Your Majesty, while I am in the mansion, if you wish to speak with someone, simply have them send a message. However, with the three princes entering the capital, Your Majesty will likely be very busy for quite some time."

The Empress Dowager Cen glanced at her, her brow slightly furrowed.

"Speaking of them, it's a headache for me. Prince Pingbei didn't go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion when he entered the capital, but instead rested at the relay station. Over the years, Prince Pingbei's power has gradually increased. The entry of Lan Fei into the palace should have been a good thing, but... it seems that Prince Pingbei intends to let this position of empress fall into Lan Fei's hands."

Empress Cen glanced at Feng Lingxi, "With the Duke of Pingbei being like this, how can I rest assured"

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brow, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager means This Lanfei is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding women in the palace. If we were to dethrone the Empress and make her the new Empress, it would be a natural progression of events."

"The empress's worry is Lord Pingbei's power. If Lanfei becomes the Empress, wouldn't this court and all under heaven fall into the hands of their father and daughter" Empress Dowager Cen frowned. "After much thought, I believe this throne shouldn't be abandoned."

Since the Empress Dowager has an idea, let's not waste time.

Then Empress Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, “Fenglingxi, if you don't become empress dowager, won’t you be afraid that I will let the empress have total authority in the future and it will be unfavorable to you”

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly, facing the Empress's inquiry, there was no sign of panic at all.

“I believe the Empress Dowager will handle this well. The Empress Dowager doesn't want Lanfei to become empress, so she certainly won't let Feng Lingxi have an easy time either. No matter who of them becomes empress, the Empress Dowager will ensure everything is settled properly.” She absolutely wouldn't let them affect her; that's just how Empress Dowager Cen is.

Empress Cen frowned slightly. What she said wasn't wrong, but this way, Feng Lingxi would truly be unconcerned about everything.

"The old General Feng praised you highly upon his return to the capital. He also said that he did not chase you out of the Feng family, and that you are his grandson Feng Cangkai's granddaughter. Do you know this"

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised. Could it be that yesterday's events made General Feng view her granddaughter with newfound admiration If so, that would be great. At least it proved that there was still someone in the Feng family worth her protecting.

"Perhaps yesterday's events changed grandpa's opinion of me."

"You mean to admit this old man"

Cen Taizi looked at Feng Lingxi, raising an eyebrow. She was indeed just as she had guessed. This Feng Lingxi was the grandson or granddaughter of Feng Cangkai whom he was most satisfied with. Feng Cangkai had a keen eye for people, and Feng Lingxi being able to satisfy him so much meant that perhaps her evaluation needed to be revised.

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Grandfather treats me sincerely, so I acknowledge him. However, Feng Aotian is impossible." When mentioning Feng Aotian, Feng Lingxi's attitude remained firm; she would never acknowledge Feng Aotian as her father for the sake of her grandfather.i teaches it, then there's no problem."Ye Xi sipped the soup in his hand, as if it were Xiao Li who had made it for him. He blew on it and took a large gulp. The anticipation in his eyes vanished inst...
