Chapter 432: Revenge 76

greeted her with a smile."The Fourth Princess Consort has arrived and was just about to ask for you. The Fourth Brother came to escort you back home."Faux expressions, acting insincere.Feng Lingxi gl..."By Imperial Decree of the Empress Dowager, Noble Consort Xi is summoned to Shou'an Palace for instruction."

The Imperial Eunuch from Shou'an Palace arrived with a decree. Feng Yu Xi heard the words "imperial instruction" and her face turned pale. She clutched Dugu Yan's sleeve, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, Feng Lingxi is making the Imperial Concubine come after me."

"Tell the Empress dowager that Xi Gui's concubine is not feeling well, and we will visit tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that if Imperial Concubine Xi's body feels unwell, she should have her carried over there."

"Presumptuous! Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like this"

Dugu Yan roared angrily, but Zhao Gonggong of Shou'an Palace showed no fear. Looking at Dugu Yan, he waved his hand, "Take Xi Gui to Shou'an Palace."

Feng Yu Xi was frightened by Zhao Gonggong's actions, she grabbed Dugu Yan's arm and cried out in terror, "Your Majesty, save me! I'm afraid."

Dugu Yan's whole body trembled, looking at Zhao Gonggong's boldness, "This emperor wants to see what the Empress Dowager means"

Feng Yu Xi looked at Zhao Gonggong's gaze, his heart pounding with fear.

"Attendants, please escort Empress Xi to Shou'an Palace."

Shou'an Palace

After Feng Ling Xi finished checking on the Empress Dowager, she heard a report from outside, "Empress Dowager, Fourth Prince requests an audience."

Then Empress Cen glanced at Feng Lingxi, a smile playing on her lips. "It seems that the Fourth Prince is truly afraid that I'll do something to you"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "The Empress Dowager is joking. The Fourth Prince requested an audience with the Empress Dowager, he must have something important to discuss."

"Declaration."

獨孤城 in his official robe walked in, saw Feng Lingxi was also there, his eyes only lingered on her for a moment, then bowed to Empress Cen, "Subject greets the Empress Dowager."

"Get up."

Queen Cen looked at Dugu City, "Does the Fourth Prince have something important to see me"

Dugu Cheng responded, "These past few days, I went out of the city to meet with Prince Huangfu Qingyun of the Aoshu Dynasty. I explained to him about Princess Yao Hua's sudden death that day and asked for an autopsy. The autopsy revealed that Princess Yao Hua died because the poison she had accumulated in her body was too deep, causing it to flare up that day. It wasn't done by the Empress Dowager. Prince Huangfu knows the truth and is preparing to return to court to explain things clearly to the Emperor of the Aoshu Dynasty."

Wind Ling Xi heard Dugu City's words, her brows furrowed slightly. How could she help the Empress Dowager wash away her crimes

However, there must be his reasons for doing so.

"In that case, is this matter unrelated to me"

Empress Cen narrowed her eyes, seeing Du Gu Cheng nod his head. Empress Cen's face turned displeased.

"The Empress was wrongfully accused, and now that the truth is clear, there isn't even an apology."

Dugu Cheng bowed and said, "Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, Crown Prince Huangfu said that although this incident was an accident, it happened in the palace. The Emperor of Aohua grieves the loss of his princess and will return to offer condolences first. He will visit again later to apologize to the Empress Dowager."

"Your Majesty, since Huangxia has spoken like this, then Your Majesty should wait for Huangxia to apologize and offer compensation. Now, the most important thing is to retrieve the treasure and unify the world; that's what truly matters."

Wind Lingxi's words did remind Empress Cen that without the summer army besieging the city, Wind Lingxi posed no such great threat to her.

"Your Majesty, I still have one more matter to report."

Dugu Cheng clasped his hands and said, "Just received a fast report from the front line. King Liu's army was ambushed, and King Liu is missing. We must immediately send reinforcements. I am here to request your imperial decree for immediate assistance."

"Even I don't know about this, but my fourth brother seems to have quite the network."

"I have seen your Majesty."

When Dugu Cheng saw Dugu Yan arrive, he bowed and explained, "My lord, I just returned from outside the city. The news will surely reach the palace soon."

"Your Majesty, what time is it Why are you still arguing over this Has Xiu'er really had an accident"

When Empress Cen's tone turned cold, Dugu Yan finally tempered her words.

"I just received the news as well, my sixth brother was ambushed and is currently missing. I've come to discuss this matter with Empress Dowager."

“What’s there to discuss Your fourth brother just said he’s leaving now to provide support and will definitely bring your sixth brother back.”

獨孤雁's eyes turned colder, finding her sixth younger brother. Was Mother and Empress afraid of losing Dugu Xiu, so they couldn't threaten him anymore

"All obey the mother."

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu City, "Fourth brother, the matter of Sixth brother is all entrusted to you. You immediately send troops and must find Sixth brother and bring him back."

Duke Gucheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what capacity I should go to support. If the soldiers under my sixth brother haven't received an imperial edict, how could they obey my orders"

"I hereby bestow upon you the title of Grand Marshal, commanding all three armies. Take charge of the military seals and depart immediately. Do not fail."

"Your servant obeys!"

After receiving the imperial decree, Dugu City said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, I have one more request. Please grant it."

"Are you going to take Feng Lingxi with you"

On the way, head to the Yao tribe.

Dugu Cheng added, and Empress Cen nodded, "Proceed."

"Empress Dowager, I hope you will keep your word and treat Consort Shu well."

Feng Lingxi looked at this Dugu Yan, her tone emphasizing that now all military power was in their hands. If Dugu Yan really wanted to make a move, it would be tantamount to destroying the country. Thinking about it, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

"I know, leave now."

Empress Dowager Cen urged, her mood agitated. Xiu'er had disappeared, and now with the court in this state, she should clean up the inner palace, lest it be filled with chaos and turmoil. She couldn't allow the wind and rain to become a tempestuous storm.

Du Gucheng took Feng Lingxi out of the palace, and Feng Lingxi immediately grabbed Du Gucheng's hand and asked, "Is Du Guzhen in trouble"

“Nature is true, could this king fake something like this”

Wind Ling frowned, "This is strange. It's just an attack on a small country, how could it turn out like this This Dugu Xiu shouldn't be so useless."

"Something must have happened here. We'll know once we get there."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "This is the reason you cleared Empress Cen's name"

"The Empress Dowager still needs to remain here, otherwise, she might harm her. With the military power in hand, even Empress Dowager Cen would have to consider this and wouldn't do anything to her."

Dugu Cheng finished speaking, and helped Feng Lingxi onto the carriage.

There’s one more thing I need to tell you, Yao Feifei isn’t dead, she just took a fake death drug. Empress Cen is still hiding something from you, this time you taking the treasure means that she and you are going to have a falling out.

"She didn't kill Yao Feifei"

I never expected this, even with all of this, we still couldn't kill Yao Feifei. It seems that Empress Cen has truly always been protecting her. This performance of hers is more convincing than the real thing.

“Having killed Yao Feifei, Dugu Xiu could die for her. Empress Cen is a clever woman. This Dugu Xiu is rarely moved emotionally. This king only learned from Huangfu Qingyun that Yao Feifei was not dead.”

"Has Huangfu Qingyun really withdrawn his troops and left"

There wasn't even a goodbye this time. This trip to the border, it really feels like we might be parting ways for good.

He has already left. He lingered here long enough. It's not like the summer can be ignored, after all. He is the Crown Prince, with many things waiting for him to do., "I mean, it might have already started to grow worms."Dugu Cheng's heart clenched, and he hurriedly stood up."Wǎner, please help me, Your Majesty will find a way."Tian Xiaomi nodded, watching Dugu C...
