rince would like the Princess Consort, so I had someone test her out. I really didn't have any other intentions, and I never meant to go against the Prince."獨孤城's face showed no change in expression,..."The Prince of Pingbei was extremely dissatisfied with this matter. The death and treatment of Lan Fei were indeed beyond what any ordinary person could accept. The Emperor's actions were, in fact, courting his own destruction, and it was certain that the Prince of Pingbei would rebel."
Fear the worst, this is just the beginning.
獨孤城 looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of worry.
"Xier, this king thinks that we should find a time to take you and Empress Dowager back to Linxi County. I'm afraid this capital city is not stable."
Feng Lingxi thought about it too, the current situation is probably really going to be chaotic.
"Your Majesty, the old general has arrived."
Feng Lingxi heard that her grandfather had arrived and hurried out to greet him. Seeing her grandfather, Feng Lingxi was a little surprised, "Grandfather, how did you get here"
Feng Cangkai saw that Dugu Cheng was also there, and hurriedly said, "It's good that you're all here. Grandfather just received the news that King Pingbei learned of Lan Fei's news and has already rebelled. The emperor's actions are outrageous, and chaos will erupt soon. You find an opportunity to leave as soon as possible."
"Grandpa, what does leaving mean"
Feng Ling Xi was truly shocked when she heard her grandfather tell them to leave. Feng Cang Kai didn't want to hide it from her either, "Aren't you the Saintess of the Yao Clan Go back and be your Saintess of the Yao Clan. Don't come back here. The world is about to fall into chaos. Listen to grandpa."
Feng Cangkai has already learned that rebellions have broken out everywhere. All he could do for Xi'er was this.
"Grandpa, come with us. Feather Ink is very familiar with Linxi County, so you follow Feather Ink first. This king will take Mother Empress and Xi'er to withdraw as quickly as possible."
Dugu Cheng ordered, but Feng Cangkai shook his head.
“Grandfather can’t leave, Yumu. Let him join you all for a moment. Grandfather has to stay here and hold them back. You find a time to slip away secretly. Right now, all the princes have rebelled. Third Prince has raised his army in Liangzhou. You must leave quickly, or they will trap you.”
Feng Lingxi heard that her grandfather was going to stay, and she firmly disagreed.
"Grandpa, don't worry about us. We will take you with us if we leave. Since the situation is already clear, we should leave together." Feng Lingxi held her grandfather's hand, but Feng Cangkai shook her off. "Xi'er, don't be foolish. You know that if Grandpa leaves, none of you can leave."
Feng Cangkai pushed her away, "Don't say these things, hurry and get organized. We're leaving the city tonight, I'll open the gate for you."
Before Du Gucheng could say anything else, Feng Cangkai had already left.
Soon, news of the vassal king's rebellion spread, causing chaos both inside and outside the court. Dugu Xiu ordered Feng Aotien to lead 500,000 troops to quell the disturbance, without even informing Dugu Cheng.
That's why Dugu Cheng learned about it later than them.
"Your Highness, are you really leaving"
Dugu City was summoned back to the palace. This time, the situation was fraught with danger. No one knew what Dugu Xiu wanted from him. Perhaps it was because he discovered that a vassal king was plotting rebellion and wanted Dugu City to quell the uprising, or perhaps he feared that Dugu City also harbored rebellious intentions and wanted to gauge his movements. In any case, things were ominous.
"Have there been any updates from the Chief"
"Not yet."
Feng Lingxi paced back and forth, her eyes full of anxiety, "I can only wait for Dugucheng to come back before I say anything."
"Sister."
Feng Yu Mo rushed over and saw Feng Ling Xi immediately stepped forward to pay her respects, "Sister, I just received the news that the Emperor sent your husband-in-law out to quell the rebellion, but he was only given 10,000 soldiers. The emperor's intention this time is clearly to take this opportunity to get rid of your husband."
"Where is everyone Have they left"
Feng Yu Mo shook his head, "Not yet."
"Where is he Take me to him!"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Feng Yu Mo quickly took her out. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a large number of troops surrounding Si Wangfu. Feng Lingxi looked at the leading soldiers with sharp eyes and questioned, "What do you mean"
The Fourth Princess calmed down, "My subordinates are all sent by the Emperor to protect the safety of the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
Seeing the Imperial Forest Army surround the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Feng Lingxi's face turned ashen with anger. What protection was this This was clearly supervision.
Feng Lingxi took a step outside, but they stopped her.
What are you doing
The Fourth Princess calmed her anger. Now, there are rebel soldiers outside. The Emperor's decree is that no one from the Fourth Prince's Mansion should leave their homes to avoid getting hurt.
"If this princess insisted on going out"
Wind Ling finished speaking, only to see those guards all standing before her, "Fourth Princess, it's best not to make things difficult for us."
"Sister, it seems we can't leave."
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Mo, angrily turned and walked into the mansion. Shu Taifei came out and saw Feng Lingxi's anger was not light, she walked over, "Xi'er, what happened"
"Mother, the Siwangfu has been surrounded. The Emperor said he wanted to protect our safety, so he surrounded Siwangfu completely. No one from Siwangfu is allowed to leave. Acheng was arranged to quell the chaos, taking only 10,000 soldiers."
The Shutai concubine walked to the door. The Imperial Forest Army guarding the door saw that it was the Shutai Concubine, and hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Shutai Concubine."
Where have the rebels gone
The leading guard's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "My subordinates are all here to protect the safety of the Fourth Prince's Mansion according to the Emperor's order. I hope Empress Dowager will calm down."
Shutai looked at these Imperial Guards, "Where is the Fourth Prince now"
"Your subordinate heard that the Fourth Prince left the capital to quell the disturbances, Lady Shu doesn't need to worry."
The Empress Dowager looked at them, "Since it's to protect the safety of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, this safety must be well-looked after. Don't let this old woman and the Fourth Princess have any trouble."
“I obey your orders.”
After the Shutai finished speaking, she turned around and entered the manor. Feng Lingxi hurriedly helped her.
"Mother Empress, you just…"
Go in and say.
Shutai and Feng Ling returned to their courtyard, and soon a message arrived. It was reported that the entire royal estate was heavily guarded, with people everywhere, making it impossible to get in or out.
"This isn't protection, it's imprisoning us all here. The Emperor sent Cheng to quell the unrest, likely fearing he might leave along the way. That's why he did this. If Cheng left, they'd hold our lives hostage. It's just another one of the royal family's familiar tricks."
Feng Lingxi heard this, and her face turned very ugly.
“You don't belong here, tyrant.”
Windling, enraged, cursed loudly. The noble consort Shu hastily soothed her, "Be careful, walls have ears. Go back to rest first and make plans later."
"Mother concubine, you are too."
After Shu Taifei left, Feng Lingxi went to find Li Wuyan. She watched him calmly and collectedly preparing his medicinal herbs, "You're even more composed than me, Li Wuyan. This time, I'm afraid I'll drag you down."
Feng Lingxi let out a soft sigh, picked up a piece of medicinal herb, sniffed it at her nose, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Ayan, do you have these herbs"
Li Wu-yan didn't raise his head, and said softly, "Everything you need is on the table beside you."
Feng Lingxi glanced at him in doubt, "Ayan, how do you know what herbs I need" Walking over to take a look, Feng Lingxi became even more curious about Li WuYan. He really had the same herbs she wanted. This Li WuYan truly understood her well.at him, her eyes filled with fear. Those timid eyes made Huangpu Qingyun's gaze even colder."Take her down there and keep a close eye on her. Don't let her get away."Wǎn'er watched them come forward a...
