Chapter 743: Imprisonment
.""I obey your command."Dugu City's attitude remained respectful, and his gaze towards Empress Shu wasn't filled with the same concern as before. This left Empress Shu feeling deeply uncomfortable."Yo...Even if Yi Xuan made countless mistakes, he's still a child. Why do you want to drive him to his death Feng Linglong, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this" Feng Linglong roared at Feng Lingxi like she had gone mad, tears streaming down her cheeks. Although she already knew the answer, now that Feng Lingxi admitted it with his own mouth, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
"Karma"
Feng Ling Xi's cold eyes swept over Feng Ling Long's tear-stained face, his tone icy as he questioned, "Feng Ling Long, if I recall correctly, when I saved him, I had once told Feng Ao Tian to stop courting death. It was he who followed me relentlessly, attempting to assassinate me three or five times. Am I supposed to allow him to kill me"
Feng Lingxi stood before Feng Linglong, gazing at her tear-streaked face. His eyes were as cold as ice.
“If he had just stayed put at the General’s Residence, I wouldn't have bothered him. He still wants to kill me even now, to his dying breath. I also want to know why he wants me dead so much. Who told him to do this Was it you, or someone else”
Feng Ling Xi's words made Feng Ling Long's body tremble. She raised her eyes to meet Feng Ling Xi's sharp gaze, and instinctively dodged her eyes, not daring to look at her.
"You know very well that Feng Yixuan's death wasn't my doing. You say he was young, and I am older than him. I live on thin ice, while he chose his own path to ruin. I gave him many chances, but he didn't cherish them."
"So, you killed him"
Feng Linglong bit her lip, glaring at Feng Lingxi with hatred in her eyes, "I know I've always wanted to surpass you, to step on you, but aren't you living better than me The Fourth Prince dotes on you, the Empress Dowager is kind to you, and even the Emperor..."
Enough!
Feng Lingxi roared, her voice sharp and cold. She saw Feng Linglong trembling with fear, and glared at her, "Feng Linglong, Feng Yixuan's death was his own doing. If you truly cared for him, you wouldn't have let him follow the Sixth Prince. If you had restrained your emotions, he wouldn't be in this predicament today. Think carefully about it yourself, who is to blame for what happened to him!"
Feng Linglong was speechless after being yelled at like that.
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, her eyes growing colder.
"So, am I the only one left"
Feng Linglong raised her eyes, tears already soaking through her lashes. Of the three siblings, only she remained after a year. She had yet to become Empress, but one by one, all of her loved ones had left her.
Feng Lingxi looked at her like this, thinking of what she had done in the past. The little pity he had for her disappeared.
"Knowing this now, why did I do it in the first place"
Feng Linglong fell to the ground. The weather in February wasn't as cold as winter, but the ground was still icy beneath her.
"My Lady Long Gui, the ground is cold. Please rise quickly. Even if you disregard yourself, you must consider the child in your womb."
Feng Lingxi, upon hearing the word "fetus," squatted down and instinctively reached for Feng Linglong's wrist, only to have her hand swatted away. She glared at Feng Lingxi angrily.
"Feng Ling Xi, you're truly ruthless."
"Get up."
Feng Lingxi coldly commanded, "Since you are pregnant, don't sit on the ground. Otherwise, you will lose more than just your younger brother Feng Yixuan."
Feng Linglong lowered her head and glanced at her abdomen, breaking down in silent tears. "Yi Xuan is gone, what am I to do with this child in my belly"
Saying that, Feng Linglong forcefully pounded her own abdomen. Feng Lingxi was frightened by her actions and hurriedly grabbed her wrist, angrily scolding, "Feng Linglong, if you want to seek death or life, get out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion and don't harm me here."
Feng Linglong struggled, wanting to shake off Feng Lingxi's hand, but she held on tightly.
"Feng Ling Xi, even if I die, I will drag you down with me."
Feng Lingxi watched her struggle fiercely, with a palm strike, directly knocking Feng Linglong unconscious.
"Xiao Li, take her to the room."
Feng Linglong was sent to the guest room to rest. Feng Lingxi, not reassured about her body, immediately checked her pulse. She had worried that Feng Linglong's mood would affect the fetus in her womb, but unexpectedly, after checking the pulse, Feng Lingxi's whole person was stunned.
He hurriedly threw back the covers and looked at Feng Linglong's clothes stained red beneath her. Feng Lingxi's face was as pale as paper, staring in disbelief at Feng Linglong, at her pale complexion, her expression full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, how could this be"
"Lóng Guifei!"
Wind Linglong's maid, seeing this, was terrified and knelt down, pleading, "Fourth Princess Consort, please save Noble Consort Long and her unborn prince."
"Feng Linglong, you're really ruthless!"
Feng Lingxi collapsed to the ground, staring at Feng Linglong in disbelief. How could there be such a vicious woman in the world who would poison her own child This was her child.
"Xiao Li, go and tell Mother Empress."
Feng Lingxi tried her best to calm herself down. She was really in deep trouble now.
Xiao Li didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly ran to find Shu Taifei. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she saw the Princess with this kind of expression. With Long Gui Fei's miscarriage at Si Wangfu, this time the Princess was truly in trouble.
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Linglong, her eyes like ice.
Go see a doctor.
Feng Lingxi finished giving her instructions and helped Feng Linglong stop the bleeding. The abortion pill had fully taken effect, and the child was gone. Feng Linglong came here to frame her.
The child in her womb was the emperor's son. She had a miscarriage in her Fourth Prince's Manor and argued with him again, Feng Lingxi didn't need to think to know what she would face next.
Just as Feng Lingxi had imagined, when the imperial physician arrived, the child in Feng Linglong's womb was gone. Feng Linglong woke up after being rescued and cried, claiming that Feng Lingxi had caused her to lose the child. Feng Lingxi was speechless, unable to defend herself. When Du Guyan learned of this, he was furious and imprisoned Feng Lingxi in the dungeon.
Shutai arrived in haste, but Fengling was already escorted out of the Fourth Prince's Residence.
"Mother."
Feng Lingxi looked at her mother's tear-filled eyes and whispered, "This time I was careless. Tell Duke Duguo when he returns, to calm down and not be impulsive, lest he fall for their trap."
Feng Lingxi finished giving her orders and glanced at Xiao Li beside her, "She came after taking abortion pills. Have someone investigate this."
"Your Majesty…"
Xiaoli, with red eyes, stepped forward but was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army. Feng Lingxi nodded towards her, "Take good care of your Empress Dowager, you don't have to worry about me."
Feng Lingxi was escorted away from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the crime of poisoning Ronggui Concubine spreading like wildfire throughout the city.
When Dugu City returned, it was already dark. He learned that Feng Lingxi had been imprisoned and knew the ins and outs of the matter. Dugu City entered the palace overnight, but he was stopped at the palace gate, and Dugu Yan refused to see him.
Upon returning to the Wangfu, Dugu Cheng learned that Luo Li had been unable to close her eyes ever since Feng Lingxi was imprisoned. She and Li Wu Yan had been investigating in the mansion, gathering evidence. According to Xiao Li and them, Feng Linglong came to Si Wangfu after taking abortion pills.his territoryThe First Young Master of the Prime Minister's Residence, Nangong HuayunThat's right.Dugu Cheng had never seen the son of this Prime Minister's mansion before. This was the Emperor's brot...
