Chapter 361 Revenge 5

lone in the Yao tribe, finding it difficult to walk. Your Highness also knows, doesn't he, how much she has endured that she shouldn't have had to bear"If she were an ordinary woman, she would have gi...It seems that Princess Yao Hua doesn't like Feng Ling Xi very much.

Feng Lingxi complained dissatisfiedly, "It's all because of her that the Fourth Prince doesn't like this princess. This princess definitely doesn't like her."

Seeing Feng Ling's displeasure, Du Gu Yan continued, "I heard that she poisoned tens of thousands of Feng Aotiān's horses during the battle in Linxi County, making them have diarrhea. Princess Yao Hua, do you know about this"

"Such low-class tactics, this princess wouldn't stoop to her level."

How does it feel to berate oneself Feng Lingxi is truly experiencing it now. This Dugu Yan keeps asking endless questions, and if she doesn't show some reaction, she's afraid Dugu Yan will suspect something. Feng Lingxi feels like she's really dug herself into a hole this time.

"She was a very special woman, which is why the fourth brother loved her so deeply."

Feng Ling Xi rested her chin in her hand, looking at Dugu Yan, "Do you think the Emperor would like a woman like me"

Dugu Yan saw her question and smiled.

"I like simple women."

Feng Lingxi shook her head. "I think the Emperor likes Feng Lingxi, but I think with so many concubines in his harem, he wouldn't miss her."

Dugu Yan only smiled, holding the teacup and taking a sip. "I like women like Feng Ling Xi, because she was once a simple woman."

Feng Lingxi was taken aback by his words. Could Dugu Yan really like her

If he truly loved her, why would he send people to hunt her down Perhaps even he was threatened by the Empress and had no choice but to obey

"Your Majesty, she is your sister-in-law."

Feng Lingxi whispered, "If the Fourth Prince hears this, he'll definitely be angry."

"This world belongs to me, let alone a mere Feng Lingxi."

Feng Lingxi nodded, her expression earnest. Dugu Yan drank a few more cups of tea. Feng Lingxi hurriedly poured him another, watching silently as he remained quiet. She kept him company for a while before he finally left. Feng Lingxi returned to her own palace with Xiao Li. Liu Mama had already had the evening meal brought in and had people attend to her well.

As night fell, everyone in the palace was waiting outside. Only Xiao Li stayed inside to attend to Feng Ling Xi as she slept. Seeing the princess take off her human skin mask, Xiao Li hurriedly took a towel to wipe her face. Looking at the slightly flushed skin on the princess's face, Xiao Li looked worried.

"My Queen, get some rest."

"Xiao Li, from now on don't call those two words in the palace, be careful walls have ears."

Feng Lingxi lowered her voice, "Even without a title, you can't call me that."

"This slave remembers."

Feng Lingxi nodded, using the ointment she had prepared to rub her cheeks that were flushed beneath her mask. After taking care of it, she finally lay down.

She was surprised that Dugu Yan liked her, but his words today reminded her. It seemed she still had to act more convincingly and not let Princess Yaohua see the shadow of Feng Lingxi. Otherwise, sooner or later, something would happen.

The Fourth Prince's Mansion

Dugu Cheng looked at the piece of paper in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Keep sending people to watch her. If Dugu Yan really suspects Xi'er, no matter what the circumstances, bring Xi'er out first and then talk."

Thinking about how Dugu Yan met Xi'er today, I wonder if Dugu Yan has started to suspect that Yao Hua is Xi'er. What did she mean by the words she said to Xi'er

"Zhang Gonggong is a smart man, he will continue to keep an eye on things for us."

Ye Xi reminded, "Your Highness, should we inform the Holy Lord about the Lady's condition and tell her"

She already knows, there are people who belong to her in the palace.

Ye Xi's face was full of surprise, "Your Highness, are there still people from the Yao clan in this palace"

Seeing the King's nod, Ye Xi swallowed nervously, "The power of the Yao Clan is truly vast. However, since the Yao Clan has influence in the palace, why didn't the Holy Lord tell the Queen"

"My knowledge on this is limited for now, Ye Xi. You are in charge of keeping an eye on the palace situation and ensuring Ai'er's safety."

As for the Yao clan's matters, he would know when it was time, his mother-in-law would tell him. He wouldn't ask even if she didn't say anything.

"City'er."

Shufei walked in, holding a bowl of lotus seed soup and offering it to Dugu City, "Drink this quickly, you haven't slept yet even though it's so late."

"Mother, why aren't you asleep so late"

Dugu Cheng helped his mother concubine sit down. Shu Fei looked at him and Ye Xi, "My concubine plans to enter the palace tomorrow. Mother is not at ease with Xi'er alone in the palace. The Empress Dowager already knows that I am still alive. Although she would like my concubine dead, after all, my concubine is still Shu Taifei, she dare not do anything to my concubine."

"Mother concubine, I forbid you from entering the palace. Xier has her mother-in-law there, nothing will happen."

Entering the palace, your mother would be under the watchful eye of the Empress Dowager, making her more vulnerable to trouble.

"The Empress Dowager has already sent word to the palace, and it won't be long before they know about her return. The Empress Dowager has something left by your father in her possession. The Grand Empress Dowager is a clever woman; she won't make a move against me for now."

Shu Fei took Dugu Cheng's hand, "Let Xi'er be alone in the palace, this concubine is not at ease."

Du Gucheng looked at his mother's resolute gaze. Without saying a word, she had already made arrangements. He was truly afraid that his mother would act impulsively and, in order to avenge their father, risk her own life.

"Mother, please don't be impulsive."

Shufeng patted his back, "Rest assured, mother knows her limits. It's you, who must act with reason."

With her presence in the palace, keeping an eye on these two children, she could finally rest assured.

When Shufei entered the palace, Fenglingxi learned that her mother had entered the palace. She took the opportunity to visit, but was stopped by Liu MaMa.

"Princess YaoHua, this Imperial Noble Consort is returning to the palace to rest. Princess YaoHua, it's best not to disturb her."

“Repose, this imperial concubine isn't the mother of the Fourth Prince, right This princess is just going to see what she's like. After all, isn't it said that an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet her in-laws This princess isn't ugly, maybe Concubine Shu will like this princess when she sees her and could persuade the Fourth Prince to be kind to this princess.”

The more they tried to stop her, the more she wanted to see her maternal grandmother. She didn't know why her maternal grandmother had returned to the palace, and she was afraid that the Empress Dowager deliberately brought her back to the palace for her own benefit.

Aunt Liu looked embarrassed, “Princess Yao Hua, the Empress Dowager asked you to learn etiquette with me. You can't wander off…”

Feng Lingxi's face darkened. "As a princess, I'm going to visit my future mother-in-law. How could I have wandered off Besides, I never said I wouldn't learn etiquette. How long would it take anyway"

When Liu Ma saw Feng Ling was angry, she lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. If Your Highness insists on seeing Lady Shu Taifei, I will go to the Empress Dowager's place to ask for permission."

"No need, Your Highness. This princess will speak to the Empress Dowager herself."

Feng Lingxi brought Xiao Li to the Empress Dowager's presence. Upon seeing Liu Mama, the Empress Dowager motioned for her to step back.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Yao Hua wants to see Lady Shu Tai Fei. She is Yao Hua's future mother-in-law."

The Empress Dowager held Feng Ling's hand and softly said, "This old woman has prepared everything for you." She then instructed a palace maid, "Go and bring the bird's nest that this old woman prepared for Imperial Noble Consort Shu. Have Princess Yao Hua take it to visit Imperial Noble Consort Shu." family background and mother, she was already fed up. If another father appeared and expected her to do things for him, wouldn't she be the one who lost out It would be better not to know anything, t...
