Chapter 424: Revenge 68

al to the Empress."Dugu City's cold eyes swept over General Zhao's eyes filled with unwillingness, "Even at this juncture, you still think about killing this king."General Zhao struggled, looking into..."What you say is indeed reasonable, this palace shall believe it."

Wind Lingxi's beautiful eyes sank slightly. This Empress Cen was probing so deeply; she probably had murderous intentions towards Duke Gucheng. Wind Lingxi had to find a way to inform him as soon as possible.

"Nanny Liu, take the Fourth Princess to rest. This empress is also tired."

Feng Lingxi bid farewell to Empress Cen and rested in the bedroom of Shou'an Palace. Xiaoli served by her side, noticing the worry in the princess's eyes, she hurried to the door to check the situation. Seeing that maidservants were guarding outside, she whispered, "Princess, someone is watching."

Wind Ling Xi responded, taking up a brush and ink to begin writing. Xiao Li understood the meaning of the princess consort, and hurriedly went over, looking at the letter written by the princess consort, and hurriedly put it away.

Don't let anyone find out.

Xiaoli responded and put it away. Then, she made the bed for Feng Lingxi and after they finished washing up, Feng Lingxi went to sleep.

As night fell, a black shadow flashed past the window and climbed in. Feng Lingxi heard the noise and hurriedly opened her eyes, watching the black figure walking towards her. She struck out with a palm, but was caught by the other person. "Xier, it's me."

Wind Ling Xi heard the sound of Du Gu Cheng's voice, and hurriedly let go of his hand, pulling him behind her to hide. Seeing that no one had noticed, she hurriedly asked, "How did you get in"

This is the imperial palace, not his prince's mansion.

"I miss you, come take a look."

Feng Lingxi heard his words, her heart warmed, and she reached out to hug him.

"I miss you too, but this is too dangerous. If you're found, it'll be terrible."

"This king came to see his own queen, even if I'm discovered, so what"

Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Could they possibly say anything more about us"

"This is the imperial harem, you're caught like this. They'll say you've disturbed the peace and have you castrated and turned into a eunuch."

Dugu Cheng chuckled, indulgently tapping her nose. "Would you"

"Not serious."

Feng Lingxi pursed her lips, but her heart was filled with sweetness. She never expected him to appear here, she couldn't say she wasn't touched.

"You'd better leave immediately. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are both after you, you can't let them catch you, or you'll be in big trouble."

"Xier, did they make things difficult for you"

Dugu Cheng pulled her up and down for a check, Feng Lingxi couldn't help laughing and crying, "It's dark as night here, what are you looking at."

"There is moonlight."

Dugu City pointed out the window, looking at the bright moon. Feng Ling Xi's heart felt uneasy. This moon was so bright, how could Dugu City run here without anyone noticing

Just as she was worried, suddenly the sound of assassins being captured came from outside. Immediately, the palace was in chaos. Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled Duguxing behind her and looked at the room. She grabbed Duguxing's hand and walked towards the wardrobe, "Quickly hide inside."

"They didn't arrest me, why are you so nervous"

"How do you know it's not you What if it is you"

Feng Lingxi's words had just fallen when she heard a knock at the door. She was startled and shoved Dugucheng into the cupboard, hurriedly asking, "What's going on"

"Your Highness, there's an assassin who has broken in. My subordinates, acting on the Empress Dowager's orders, have come to protect your safety. Please open the door so we can check."

"Then you wait a moment, I'll get dressed."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up, settled Dugu Cheng properly, put on her coat and walked over. Xiaoli opened the door. Feng Lingxi, yawning sleepily, asked, "What's going on"

"Your Highness, has an assassin entered"

Feng Lingxi looked at the group of people before her, "Where is the assassin" Feng Lingxi's drowsiness vanished completely. She looked at them, her eyes darting back and forth. The leading guard hurriedly said, "I apologize for startling the Fourth Princess. Since there is no assassin here, I will not disturb the Fourth Princess's rest."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly called out to them, "Then you guys had better investigate thoroughly and don't let the assassins come to me."

"As you command, my lord."

Feng Ling hastily told Xiao Li to close the door, feigning fear of an assassin breaking in, which convinced the guards that there was truly no threat here.

Xiao Li waited at the door, seeing that all the guards had gone far away, she gestured to the Queen before taking Dugu Cheng out of the cabinet, "They're gone, you better leave quickly."

Feng Lingxi urged him, fearing they would turn back and search here. Dugu Cheng took advantage of the situation to lie down on her bed, "If we go out now, they'll definitely find us. This king won't go anywhere, just stay here for a while."

Feng Ling rushed forward and pulled him up, "You didn't just say that, you said no one would find out! What's going on now"

Dugu Cheng shrugged, "What if the assassin they're looking for isn't me at all Where do I look like an assassin"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng dressed in a nightgown. Like this, he still said he wasn't like an assassin

Dugu Cheng lowered his head to glance at himself, quickly taking off the night-walking clothes and putting on his fine robes. Feng Ling Xi's lips twitched slightly. This man was indeed well-prepared. How many layers of clothing was he wearing under there

"Xi'er, this king is tired, let me sleep for a while."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, drowsiness washed over him, and a few traces of fatigue appeared on his handsome face, making Feng Lingxi feel reluctant to drive him away.

"You must leave by early morning."

“Of course.”

Xiao Li pulled up the screen, walked to the chair outside, and sat down, half-closing her eyes to watch over them.

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng sleeping soundly in her arms. Perhaps he was truly tired and asleep, making it hard for her to wake him up. So she stayed by his side, guarding him until half an hour later, when Feng Lingxi gradually fell asleep. When she woke up, Dugu Cheng had already left. Feng Lingxi got up and looked at the note in her palm. She opened it and a smile appeared on her face, her heart filled with sweetness.

"Your Highness, please wash up quickly. Soon we will go to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

Little Li entered with a basin of water and, seeing the smile on the Queen's face, smiled back.

"When did he leave"

Feng Lingxi asked, wondering if he had returned to court. She suddenly felt a bit expectant that he would come to see her again in the evening.

But, how did he know he lived here

"Fourth watch has already passed, tell the maids to not wake the Princess from her sleep."

Feng Ling Xi frowned, she left so early. At that time, she was sleeping the deepest, no wonder she didn't notice at all.

After breakfast, Feng Lingxi went to greet the Empress Dowager. Seeing her arrival, Empress Dowager Cen didn't say much, after all, Feng Lingxi's identity was special and Empress Dowager Cen had her own thoughts about her.

"Later, I would like to go to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers. Would it be possible for Fourth Royal Wife to accompany me"

Feng Lingxi nodded and looked at the dried medicine on Empress Cen's face, "Empress Dowager, let's change the medicine later before going to the Imperial Garden."

"Go prepare your medicine."

Feng Lingxi responded and immediately took Xiaoli to the Imperial Dining Room. This time, the medicine she brought back tasted stronger. As soon as they entered Shou'an Palace, Empress Cen frowned and looked at the bowl Feng Lingxi was holding with disdain.

"How come the taste is even stronger"

"Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, today's medicine has an added ingredient. The taste is a bit stronger, but it will be more effective. Your Majesty, please bear with it."ourteous to her. This made her feel for the first time that the intrigue within the palace, when she didn't participate, was quite entertaining.For example, yesterday the Empress did everything in her...
