Chapter 1000: Metamorphosis 74

t it seemed unnecessary now."Tell me, why did you kill Lingyu"Feng Linglong walked before him, her eyes cold.“Father, do not forget what Lingyu did at the birthday banquet. If I don’t kill her, the en...Upon learning of Empress Cen's paralysis, Emperor Dugu flew into a rage. However, he was quickly soothed by Yue Fei. The Imperial Medical Bureau continued to work on an antidote for Empress Cen.

When Dugu Su learned of the Empress Dowager's situation, he came to visit, but was only refused. He could only remain outside the hall and couldn't even see her.

By the time news of Empress Cen's paralysis reached Dugu City, it had been ten days. This was undoubtedly good news for them.

As the Empress Cen was seriously ill, she no longer cared about demanding the treasures of the Yao Clan. Moreover, Luo Ze's side had effectively been rendered useless.

Dugu Cheng took the opportunity to eliminate Luo Ze's remnants, confiscating all the property of the Luo family and seizing their grain stores. Dugu Cheng could be said to have made a huge profit. However, when Luo Xue learned of all this, she fainted from anger on the spot. When she woke up, she had already been moved and it was announced to the public that she had died from shock and illness.

In less than half a month, Dugu City had completely wiped out the remnants of Cen Taizu in Linxi County and harvested enough grain to sustain them for several years.

In the blink of an eye, the weather turned hot. Wind Lingxi, because of what her mother had said, had been secretly investigating her mother's fall from the cliff, even finding clues about Luo Li. However, Luo Li's identity was special and her information was hidden, making it impossible to investigate further.

Feng Lingxi had been repeatedly warned by the elders not to overstep her bounds when she inquired about it several times.

The position of the Yaozu Saint Master, although seemingly glorious and powerful, is not as formidable as she had imagined.

"Your Majesty, I just received word that Elder Six has descended the mountain. It is said that he went to the Ghost Saint Kingdom this time."

"Ghost Saint Country" Wasn't that the country where Luo Li was Back then, her mother also went to Ghost Saint Country. What are these six elders doing going down the mountain to Ghost Saint Country now

Little Li nodded, "The Great Elder just reported to me that this time the Sixth Elder went down the mountain to practice. The Great Elder learned from the Sixth Elder's disciples that they were going to the Ghost Saint Kingdom."

"How could these six elders even think of going to the Ghost Saint Country"

Could he be a person who has left

Back then when the elders were being replaced, she personally screened them. It seems this Yao Clan is really not as simple as it appears.

"I don't know, that's why I told you."

Xiao Li's loyalty to Feng Ling Xi is evident to all. Since the princess took over the Yao clan, her status within the clan was enviable. Even as just a maidservant to the princess, everyone in the Yao clan treated her with utmost respect.

"Keep an eye on him and notify me immediately if you hear anything."

"Your Highness, should you intercept Elder Six What if he goes to the Ghost Saint Kingdom this time and betrays you If he leaves, he might not return."

Little Li's eyes showed worry, "This Ghost Saint Nation is so far away, we can't even get there."

"No need for that, just stare at it. If it's truly not useful to me, then discard it."

The Yao people wanted someone powerful to be the elder, she hadn't figured out the intentions of the six elders yet, there was no need to kill them all.

This Ghost Saint Nation has been mentioned many times by her lately. Her mother went there, Luoli is also there, and now that her mother has returned and told her about it, Feng Lingxi is even more certain that this Ghost Saint Nation holds the answers she seeks. It's just a matter of time.

Just as Mother said, let her be careful and watch out.

Now she just needs to tidy up the Yao clan's internal affairs and make sure no one sells them out without their knowledge.

"Xier."

Du Gu Cheng walked in, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly tidied up the files in her hands and looked at Du Gu Cheng's tired face, "You came back so soon"

"Just got word that Empress Cen is gravely ill, afraid she won't survive the summer."

"The wind and rain wouldn't let her die so easily."

Feng Yu Xi's actions against Empress Cen, although she was considered an accomplice, ultimately targeted Empress Cen herself. Feng Yu Xi was the one who wanted to take Empress Cen's life.

She underestimated Fēngyǔ Xī after all, didn't expect to be tormented by her. In a way, she did her a big favor.

"Why must Empress Cen die in this storm"

Speaking of this, Dugu Cheng frowned, “I really can’t figure it out. Even though Dugu Xiu is his own son, how could he act like this After all, she was his biological mother. Now that Empress Cen has passed away, his throne won’t be secure either.”

Such a foolish act, it's truly beyond Dugu City's comprehension.

At that time, people would say he committed matricide. Wouldn't he be burdened for life

"You must be infatuated. All I can say is that Feng Yu Xi has her ways."

Feng Lingxi was not very interested in what happened to Dugu Xiu. After all, he would soon be like Empress Cen, his life span was almost up.

The throne of the Yuan Dynasty was about to be embroiled in bloodshed once again, and only if Dugu City stayed away would he be spared from their chaos.

Before Dugu Su even makes a move, there are many princes of the Yuan Dynasty. Who knows which one is the true Son of Heaven Moreover, Dugu Xiu's previous tyranny has already made the people very dissatisfied with the Yuan Dynasty. The will of the people is what determines the rightful king.

The people of Linxi County absolutely supported Dugu City, but how many officials in the court would support him Those who should have been replaced had been replaced. They were all remnants of Empress Cen's faction. How could they possibly allow Dugu City to become emperor

"This Feng Yu Xi is truly capable. I've been investigating the Zhao family this past while, and you won't believe what I found out about her."

Dugu Cheng sat opposite Feng Lingxi, wanting to see her curious gaze, but unfortunately, he couldn't. He was a little disappointed.

"It doesn't sound simple."

"It's certainly not simple. She interacts closely with the Yao people. Although it's unclear if she's one of them, it's certain that she's not the frail woman Feng Aotien married her as."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "I remember she was Feng Aotiān's beloved back then. Lou Shi brought her back, and she had always served Feng Aotiān obediently as a concubine. Could it be that from that moment on, this Zhao knew my mother's identity"

Feng Lingxi suddenly couldn't sit still. If she was thinking like that, wouldn't Feng Yu Xi be clear about her affairs, and also have dealings with the Yao clan

Thinking of this, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Feng Yu Xi shouldn't know so much, right

"You should take some time to thoroughly investigate the Yao people living outside, especially those in the Great Yuan dynasty. I worry that they may not be loyal to you."

Over the past millennia, how many Yao people have been raised by the Yao tribe Perhaps even the Yao themselves don't know. After all, are there not individuals within the Yao tribe who also desire to vie for the position of Holy Master Or perhaps some seek to manipulate events from behind the scenes, leveraging the power of the Yao tribe There are simply too many unknowns.

All of this needs to be cleared up, otherwise, with Xier's temper, if these people really make a move, Xier might not even be able to tell whether they are good or bad.

“I understand. I will continue to investigate.”

If she were truly connected to the Yao clan, she would have to thoroughly investigate the Yao clan's external affairs. She needed to know how many Yao clan members were outside, where they were, and what identities they held in the human world.
