Chapter 742: Imprisonment 1

been looking forward day and night to being able to open his eyes and see Xi'er. Today, he saw her, and he was so happy. As long as she was alive, the lost memories would eventually return."That's goo..."It's not that I suspect he's involved, it's that I suspect he did it."

She worried that Dugu Yu might send people to attack Dugu City because of the token, and this token would become an important clue.

"Xi'er, do you think this token was really accidentally dropped by him The other party's purpose is to frame Du Guyu for this. If he really sent someone to rescue Du Guxiu and assassinate us, there's no reason to bring the token. Only someone framing it would do such a thing."

"But it's also possible that Dugu Yu did this on purpose, then took the token from you in broad daylight to cover up his true intentions."

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng both made valid points, and they both felt the other person was right. However, neither of them was willing to back down.

"You make a good point, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Dugu City looked at Feng Ling Xi's token in her hand, "The token is still kept by this king. Let's see if he will come to ask this king for the token."

"What if Would you really give him the token"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "This is too dangerous. What if he gets the token Then it'll be us who are in trouble!"

"This king will not give the token to him, Xi'er, rest assured."

Feng Lingxi looked at the token in her hand, then returned it to Dugu Cheng, reminding him, "Then you have to be careful yourself and don't let him succeed."

"Your Majesty knows that there has been no news from the palace these days. Dugu Yan is now letting me secretly investigate Dugu Yu's influence in the capital city. I'm afraid I'll be busy for a while, Xi'er, so please be more careful when you go out."

"Just be careful yourself, and feel free to speak up if you need any help. There are quite a few members of the Yao clan here."

Feng Lingxi thought about it, but still didn't tell Dugu City that she had investigated Dugu Yu. It would be the same to tell him when she found some clues.

As Feng Ling Xi said, with the token in hand, when the Third Princess arrived, Du Gu Yu didn't appear. Instead, two days later when Du Gu Cheng went out of the city to handle business, he was ambushed on the way. However, Du Gu Cheng had been prepared and was unharmed, but he didn't catch the assassin. Seeing they couldn't succeed, they retreated.

Feng Lingxi learned the news that Dugu City had been assassinated. As soon as he returned, he rushed forward to check on him. Looking at the bandaged wound on his arm, Feng Lingxi's face darkened.

"It seems my guess was right, Dugu Yu is planning to take it by force."

Dugu Cheng shook his head, “It shouldn’t be related to this matter. These days, this king has been investigating some of Dugu Yu’s real estate properties. In one place, I found some weapons. After confiscating them, I was probably warned by him.”

"Weapon"

Feng Ling Xi raised an eyebrow, recalling the weapon she had hidden before. "Is it the weapon from that place"

Dugu Cheng shook his head, watching Feng Lingxi's expression turn serious. "There are many more weapons hidden by Dugu Yu in the capital. The Emperor ordered this king to investigate thoroughly. Dugu Yu is very wary of this king. It seems that the investigation ahead will not be so smooth."

"If this Dugu Yu truly has ambitions to rebel, then he should just…."

"Xier, don't talk nonsense."

Du Gu Cheng reminded, "Mother hasn't found out about this yet, don't worry her."

Feng Lingxi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "With the calm before the storm like this, I'm afraid Feng Yu Xi is about to cause some trouble again."

She and Lan Fei fought tooth and nail in the palace. When Ping Bei Wang entered the palace, he brought up the matter of deposing the empress again. Naturally, the empress was busy dealing with this matter.

Feng Lingxi did not expect that this Lanfei, who looked so gentle, was also a ruthless character. The Empress Dowager intended to dethrone the empress, and with Lanfei's actions, it is likely that the Empress Dowager will turn a blind eye and will not interfere with the empress. If Lanfei has the ability, she might be able to bring down the empress this time.

"Dugu City, do you think I should take this opportunity to help Lanfei"

Feng Ling pondered for a moment before speaking, "No, if I helped Lan Fei at this time, I might push Feng Yu Xi into a desperate situation. Besides, if Lan Fei wins, the Empress Dowager will naturally draw her closer. At that point, my situation would become even more difficult."

Dugu Cheng listened to her serious analysis and said, "Let's observe the battle first and see how things develop before we decide."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly. Currently, Empress Cen didn't seem to have any intention of harming their couple. Besides, at this time, helping either side wouldn't be a good idea; it was better to play dead.

I had intended to wait patiently for the results, but I never expected that Feng Linglong would visit me. To be honest, Feng Linglong's appearance surprised me. I thought she would never take the initiative to find me in this lifetime.

Wind Linglong only brought two personal maidservants. Upon arriving at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she did not act like a noble consort.

Feng Lingxi beckoned her to sit in her own courtyard. Looking at Feng Linglong, whose arrogance had vanished, Feng Lingxi's eyes were calm.

"Lady Long Gui is here today, could it be that there's something important"

Feng Ling Xi asked, instinctively looking at Feng Ling Long's hand covering her abdomen. Her eyes flashed a hint of confusion. Could she be pregnant

"Fourth Princess, this princess came today because there's something I want to confirm with you."

Feng Linglong clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, biting her lip. Her struggle caught Feng Lingxi's attention, causing her to raise an eyebrow. "What is it"

"Is Yi Xuan dead"

Feng Lingxi heard her mention Feng Yixuan, her eyes narrowing slightly. “What do you mean, Long Gui Fei Why are you asking me about Feng Yixuan’s life or death”

"Feng Lingxi, why would I ask you about this Surely you know the answer yourself This palace has heard that Yi Xuan was killed. I confirmed it with Father as well. He said Yi Xuan followed you out of the capital last year and kept in contact until recently. But then all communication ceased…"

Feng Linglong clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi. With great courage, she took a deep breath and said, "The Empress said you killed him."

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi's face did not show a surprised expression, but her brows furrowed slightly, looking at Feng Linglong's tightly clenched fists. The suppressed anger in her eyes made Feng Lingxi smile.

"Whatever she says, Long貴妃 believes. So why are you asking me"

I want to hear you say it yourself, yes or no

Feng Lingxi stood up, her beautiful eyes turned cold, and her gaze at Feng Linglong became sharp and intense.

"Since you are so eager to know the answer, I can tell you that Feng Yixuan was indeed killed by me."

"You..."

Feng Linglong's eyes widened, her gaze filled with disbelief as she looked at Feng Lingxi. Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes, her eyes questioning Feng Lingxi, "Feng Lingxi, do you hate me this much If you want to kill me, why kill him"

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, such a pathetic drama was truly tiresome to watch.

"If someone doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke them. If someone kills me, I will definitely take revenge. I made this very clear to him, including Feng Aotian. If anyone is to blame, it's himself for not cherishing his own life."ed 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...
