Chapter 487: Revenge 131

nd out, but found no clues. It seems we can only wait for Prince Huafu to wake up before we know who wounded him."Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, "Things have come to this, there's no other way.""By the...Hearing this from Empress Dowager Cen, it seems that even though the current Empress Feng Yu Xi was bestowed upon by Empress Dowager Cen herself, she somehow heard that Empress Dowager Cen had agreed to this bestowal. It's unclear whether it was Empress Dowager Cen or the Empress who lied to her about this matter.

“I’ve always wanted to make Long Gui Fei the Empress, but she just wasn't cut out for it. She simply didn't have what it takes to be Empress. In the end, she lost to Feng Yu Xi.”

Then Empress Cen let out a soft sigh, “Feng Ling Xi, can you believe what this old woman is saying”

Feng Lingxi came back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Of course I believe in the Empress Dowager. It’s just that I don’t quite understand how this Empress could have such ability. In such a short time, she persuaded the Emperor and even took the position of Empress.”

Even this palace doesn't understand.

Empress Cen rubbed her brow, the throbbing pain a consequence of the stormy weather.

When the wind and rain persisted all day, her heart felt incredibly troubled.

"For days the Emperor had promised to bestow the title of Empress upon Feng Linglong. But for some unknown reason, the night before the ceremony, he suddenly favored Feng Yuxi. The next day, he changed his mind and began acting like a different person entirely, delegating everything to Feng Yuxi as if he were possessed."

"Beside oneself"

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows. Empress Cen's words were indeed eerie. What ability did this Yu Xi possess to be favored by Dugu Yan so much When Feng Lingxi first saw Dugu Yan, the poison in him was clearly from her, and there seemed to be nothing else amiss.

"The Emperor has truly grown up now. This palace wouldn't dare say a word to him, for he does not heed her anymore. It is fortunate that she hasn't made him angry."

"Empress Dowager, I have something to ask you. Was my mother personally brought into the palace by you"

Queen Cen glanced at Feng Lingxi, her eyes showing no hesitation. She admitted frankly, "Yes, your mother was brought here by me. If it weren't for that, your mother would have been killed by Feng Yu Xi long ago."

"Your Majesty, the storm is right before my eyes, yet you say that my mother was imprisoned. Now, Your Majesty claims it was she who did it. I'm quite curious, I wonder who speaks the truth." Feng Lingxi's words caused the Empress Dowager's face to darken.

"Feng Ling Xi, you claimed to believe me. Why do you now doubt me"

Then Empress Cen's face darkened, and she looked very displeased.

"Your Majesty, I'm not saying you lied to me. I just think... Feng Yu Xi spoke of you this way. You are the Empress Dowager, shouldn't you refute her Shouldn't you stop her from slandering you like this"

Feng Lingxi's words made Empress Cen's eyes darken. This Feng Lingxi was indeed clever, knowing how to target her and wanting her to help deal with Feng Yuxi. She thought it was quite beautiful.

"What do you want me to do with her"

"The Empress Dowager only needs to prove that she didn't imprison my mother. That's enough. The Empress told me she wants me to join forces with her against you. I told you this because I trust the Empress Dowager. If not, with all these things said, who knows how the storm will turn against me."

“Let me tell you the truth, I have dealt with all the assassins sent out by Feng Yu Xi, just because of your cooperation with me. Since the Yao Clan's treasure is not yet in hand, I will not let you die. However, as for the grievances between you and Feng Yu Xi, I am unwilling to intervene. What you want to do is your business. I can turn a blind eye and even help you out, but if you want me to take action, it's impossible.”

The Empress Dowager made her point very clear, and hoped that Feng Lingxi could understand clearly what she had done for her.

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly, "Then thank you for coming."

To get her mother out, it seems things wouldn't be so easy here in the imperial palace. Looks like I need to come up with another plan.

"The matter of the treasure, let's talk about it next year. As for my mother and Lady Mother's current situation, I hope Empress Dowager can understand."

"The empress believes that wind and rain will not be your opponent."

It's easy to say that she's not her opponent. Fengyu Xi is the empress after all, and with Dugu Yan supporting her, the people behind her are unknown. Who knows who her supporters are Even Empress Cen has stopped interfering, so she must be difficult to deal with. And she's not a fool, so she wouldn't be unaware of this.

"Since the Empress Dowager doesn't want to deal with Feng Yu Xi herself, how could I, her opponent Besides, my mother is still in her hands. If she threatens me with my mother, I can't even guarantee what I would do."

Feng Lingxi let out a light sigh, looking at the Empress Dowager Cen's eyes which had noticeably changed. A cunning glint flashed in her gaze.

"Why don't we join forces With the Empress Dowager's help, things would be much easier, wouldn't they What do you think, Your Majesty"

Cen Taihou looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes gradually turning cold, "You dare to say that, even threatening this old empress, Feng Lingxi, has this old empress been too kind to you"

Feng Lingxi revealed a smile and, taking Empress Dowager Cen's arm, said softly, "Empress Dowager, I keep your kindness in my heart. But this matter is very important. Yu Xi has the Emperor behind her. For me to oppose the Emperor would be digging my own grave. In the end, not only Yu Xi but perhaps even Empress Dowager herself would be implicated."

"What does this have to do with me"

The Empress Dowager's face darkened. Feng Lingxi explained, "Empress Dowager, think about it, how is Feng Yu Xi related to you now And if I lose to her, she will undoubtedly be even more favored by the Emperor. The Emperor is already very kind to her. If Feng Yu Xi wants to harm you in the future, what if the Emperor just turns a blind eye Wouldn't the Empress Dowager be in danger"

"Nonsense, I am the Emperor's own mother! How could he treat me this way"

The Empress Dowager's angry reprimand couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

Feng Lingxi had said the thing she was most worried about. Dugu Yan was now like this, completely out of control. She could even feel Dugu Yan's patience reaching its limit. If she really wanted to get rid of her, she would definitely turn a blind eye to everything Feng Yu Xi did.

Feng Ling Xi's lips curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes swept across Cen Taihou's panicked look in her eyes, and she said softly, "Only Taihou would know best, wouldn't she"

Dugu Yan wanted to break free from Cen Taishi's control and become the true emperor, but Cen Taishi wanted to keep everything under her control, making Dugu Yan continue to be her puppet emperor and manipulating everything.

Nobody is a fool, even though they are mother and son, they scheme more ruthlessly than anyone else.

Queen Cen narrowed her eyes, calculating. Feng Lingxi knew her very well and saw through her. If she was truly willing to cooperate, she could take this opportunity to completely thwart the Emperor's plans and get rid of Feng Yu Xi in the process.

"Feng Ling Xi, did you see the Emperor today Do you know he's been poisoned"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the calculations in Empress Cen's eyes, and said, "The poison on the Emperor is not just one kind. It's just that I don't quite understand why he doesn't let the imperial physicians detoxify him"
