Chapter 739: Yao's Rebellion 109

lled and slapped Feng Lingyu's face hard.Feng Lingyu covered her face and glared angrily at Feng Lingxi, biting her lip and questioning, "Mother, why are you afraid of her What I said is the truth. Sh...Luo Li was very satisfied to see Feng Yu Xi's expression change from calm to stormy. She caught up with Li Wu Yan's steps and said with a smile, "A-Yan, did you poison that woman"

Li Wuyan didn't reply him, as if Luo Li standing before him was just air.

To Li Wu-Yan's indifference, Luoli had already gotten used to it. In front of him, Luoli had always been like this: talkative and particularly fond of infuriating Li Wu-Yan. Seeing him angry, yet unable to do anything about it, was something she found amusing.

"Ayan, tell me, do you have it or not"

Luo Li's tone carried a hint of coquettishness, causing Li Wu Yan's steps to halt. Luo Li quickened her pace, giggling at him, "Come on, tell me."

"Don't speak to me in such a disgusting tone."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Li Wuyan swiftly departed, as if something had startled him. Luo Li stood rooted to the spot, bursting into laughter. This Ah Yan was actually disgusted by him This was too adorable!

After leaving the General's Mansion, Feng Lingxi got into the carriage. Dugu Cheng sat beside her, seeing her gloomy mood, he softly said, "Don't be angry with him, it's not worth it."

"No, they don't deserve it."

Feng Lingxi took Dugu Cheng's hand, and with a reassuring smile on her face, she said, "Dugu Cheng, this has happened so many times. My heart towards them is as hard as stone."

Dugu City hummed softly. If she truly had a heart as hard as stone, how could she have been angered by Feng Aotians actions People are not wood or grass, who can be without feelings.

"My Queen."

Xiao Li suddenly shouted from outside the carriage, Feng Ling Xi responded and stuck her head out, “What is it”

Xiao Li looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "Someone is following us."

"Return home."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and the carriage drove towards the direction of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The figures in the dark saw them being discovered and immediately left.

"Xier, who do you think is following us"

Dugu Cheng hooked his lips and smiled, asking, "Feng Lingxi seriously pondered for a moment. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"It was Duguy."

"It shouldn't be. I think it's more likely someone from Feng Yu Xi. Think about it, the General's Mansion is filled with people from Feng Yu Xi now. How could someone like Du Gu Yu appear in the shadows"

Feng Ling's expression grew increasingly serious, and her eyes deepened as she pondered. Her silence resembled the focused demeanor of the stoic Dugu City.

"By the way, did Luo Li find anything about what you asked him to investigate I'd also like to meet the person behind this who is working for the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

When it came to this person, Feng Lingxi thought back to her conversation with Luo Li that day, and Luo Li's reaction. Perhaps the person who helped her was Luo Li herself.

I think Luoli is very likely the mysterious person who's helping us from behind. You should have heard about it too, members of the Yao Clan often have many identities outside. Luoli is even more so. Otherwise, Feng Yu Xi wouldn't want to recruit him.

If it truly was him, why wouldn't he tell us

Feng Lingxi shook her head, her beautiful eyes drooping.

"I'm not too sure about this either, and most importantly, I'm not certain."

Dugu Cheng frowned, it seems he still needs to investigate clearly, whether it is Luoli or not, he has to find out.

Back at the Fourth Prince's Manor, Feng Lingxi went straight back to her courtyard. Today's events had left her in a somewhat unpleasant mood, and with nothing going on in the manor, she went back to her room for a nap and didn't even have lunch. She only got up in the late afternoon.

Looking out at the sky, Feng Lingxi frowned slightly. She turned to Xiao Li, who was busy beside her, and asked, "Have there been any news from Shi Wu and the others"

"Rest assured, everything is fine at the General's Residence. After lunch, the Empress returned to the palace and there has been no news from within."

Feng Lingxi frowned, the words Feng Yu Xi had said to her today were still fresh in her memory. With her personality, she wouldn't just be calm and collected like this, this wasn't like her usual style at all.

Moreover, Feng Aotian needed her and Dugu City to speak for him, but there was no response so far. This really made her feel that the silence was excessive.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that the Empress might harm you"

Xiaoli voiced her concerns. She knew the princess's temperament well; today's conversation with the Empress, with the Empress's usual character, would not have been so quiet. Something else must be happening.

"She’s wanted to do me harm isn't a new thing, I just find it strange. Given her personality, why is there not even a hint of movement"

"Perhaps they are preparing a bigger conspiracy"

Xiao Li pondered for a moment, seeing the Princess stare at her, she hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Princess, this servant was just talking casually, please don't take it to heart."

"You're right, this storm won't just let me off that easy."

The Empress Dowager Cen cannot reveal the truth about the Yao clan's treasure being unusable. Feng Yu Xi and Feng Ao Tian are pressing closer step by step, their power growing day by day. If they were to attack her, the Empress Dowager Cen would be her only hope of resistance. If she joined forces with Feng Yu Xi and Feng Ao Tian to eliminate the Empress Dowager Cen, it would be a declaration of war against the Great Yuan Dynasty. Dugu Yu and Dugu Xiu are watching them like hawks. No matter what choice she makes, it's a difficult situation.

"Looks like I'll only be able to watch the tigers fight from the shadows."

Feng Lingxi's eyes flashed with a cunning calculation as she looked at Xiao Li. She beckoned to her, leaned down and whispered something in her ear. Xiao Li hurriedly went out.

For two consecutive days, Feng Lingxi didn't receive any summons from the palace, nor did she hear anything about what Feng Yuxi was doing. In her leisure time, she strolled around the house, went out shopping, and took Li Wuyan to buy that pharmacy, allowing Li Wuyan to start running it.

Feng Ling Xi kept her promise to Li Wu Yan, she made sure this pharmacy was just as he'd wanted. It was large with a house inside where people could live. Feng Ling Xi arranged for Li Wu Yan to stay there. Firstly, because it would be convenient for her to find any medicinal herbs she needed there in the future. Secondly, having Li Wu Yan open a pharmacy was like establishing her own power base.

Luo Li has been running around these two days, helping Li Wu Yan manage the newly opened pharmacy. In her spare time, she's been investigating the mysterious person who helped Feng Ling Xi, but she hasn't made any progress.

Feng Lingxi further proved her conjecture, but she didn't expose him either.

"Your Highness, the Third Princess has arrived."

After finishing her busy day, Feng Lingxi had just returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion when she heard the housekeeper and another servant report to her. Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Did the Third Prince come too"

"No, just the Third Princess Consort. Noble Consort Shu asked the Princess Consort to return and entertain her."

"Where is she with her mother"

Seeing the steward nod, Feng Lingxi hurried toward her imperial mother's courtyard. As she approached the garden, she saw her imperial mother and the third princess laughing and chatting from afar. Feng Lingxi frowned, she couldn't understand why, but she always felt that the third princess's purpose was impure.

As soon as Feng Lingxi appeared, the Third Princess noticed her. Seeing her coming, she hurriedly smiled and walked over, “Fourth Princess, you’re back.”

Her tone of voice made it sound like she was the mistress of this place. there trembling with fear."I'm sure you all know why I'm here this time."The elder wiped the cold sweat from his brow secretly. He didn't expect that the chief would bring the Saintess this time. Now...
