Chapter 755: Prison 14 >
tcome, you must promise me, you will inherit the position of the Holy Master."Feng Lingxi nodded, Luo Li looked at the elders, "You all go back and tidy up, tomorrow to the bottom of the cliff, author..."I know this has nothing to do with you. This time Feng Linglong's miscarriage, I'm afraid it ruined the Empress's plan, she truly deserves death."
Feng Lingxi hesitated to speak, Feng Linglong was about to kill her, but it was soon Cen Taifu's turn.
"With all this commotion today, I'm afraid your father won't be able to explain himself."
Then Empress Cen spoke, her eyes fixed on her thoughtful face. “I ask you, did you truly kill Feng Yixuan”
Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly, how did even Empress Cen know about this.
"Your Majesty, Feng Yixuan tried to kill me three or four times. I've already given him many chances."
Feng Ling Xi's answer indirectly answered the question. She knew that Feng Yi Xuan's affairs would eventually come to light, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Zhang MaMa, bring over the things I prepared."
Feng Lingxi watched Zhang Mama leave, her eyes full of confusion.
"Your Majesty, I will find an opportunity to speak with Feng YiXuan and Feng AoTian about this."
Grandmother Zhang brought the imperial edict over. Empress Dowager Cen gave it to Feng Lingxi, “This is what this old woman has prepared for you. This old woman knows that you want to sever ties with Feng Aotian as father and daughter. If you truly need it, this imperial edict can help you.”
Feng Lingxi opened the imperial edict and looked at the document above, her eyes complex.
Severing ties with her father and daughter relationship, once this document is made public, she and Feng Aotian's father-daughter relationship will end. Although she is no longer the former Feng Lingxi, after all, this body is Feng Aotian's bloodline. Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes dimmed, hesitating.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will keep it in mind."
"Have dinner with me, and later, I'll have Zhang Mama send you back to avoid any misunderstandings."
Feng Lingxi thanked her, and Empress Cen's protection surprised her. This way, Yu Xi wouldn't be able to find any evidence to trouble her.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
As soon as the food was served, Dugu Yan arrived.
Feng Lingxi, upon seeing Dugu Yan, instinctively glanced behind him. He didn't see Dugu City and wondered what Dugu Yan had told him today. He thought, "Has Dugu City returned home now"
"Mother Empress, I just learned of Consort Long's assassination. The Emperor later sought out Mother Empress, but I don't know..."
"Does Your Majesty mean that this is also related to the Fourth Princess"
Du Gu Yan looked at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes calm. "I didn't mean that. It's just that this matter is too coincidental. The Fourth Princess happened to be away, and the Emperor later told me about it. There are so many doubts, I think it's still important to investigate clearly."
Feng Lingxi was surprisingly calm. Feng Yu Xi, after all, just wanted to ensure that her crimes were proven.
"Doesn't the Emperor find this strange The Empress summoned Long Gui Fei, but she was suddenly assassinated on the way back. To kill someone unseen within the palace... I couldn't possibly do such a thing."
Dugu Yan knew what she meant by that. Feng Lingxi did indeed have some suspicious points.
"Since the Fourth Princess claims to be innocent, may she please tell us what the maidservant was doing in Shou'an Palace when she was not around"
"Go investigate a single person."
Feng Lingxi spoke truthfully, without intending to hide it from them.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that day in the prison I was beaten up by people from Noble Consort Long. At that time, I could have resisted, but I didn't expect someone to use a hidden weapon on me, injuring me. I caught a glimpse of the person's face, along with Noble Consort Long. I want to find out her identity."
"Who are the people around Lady Long"
獨孤雁挑眉，見風淩兮點頭，沉聲說，“那朕把她們都喊來，你可能認得出那個人？”
Of course.
"Go and summon all the maidservants and eunuchs from Longgui's Palace. If the Empress inquires, tell her that I wish to question them."
Feng Lingxi's eyes sank slightly as she recalled the man's face that day. She remembered it very clearly; her eyes, once they had looked into his, were never forgotten. But now that Feng Linglong was dead, this person was probably impossible to find.
Not many had arrived yet, the people were all led to Shou'an Palace. Just as Feng Ling Xi thought, this person was not here.
"Your Majesty, that person is not here."
Dugu Yan looked at her mother, seeing her nod, she opened her mouth and asked, "Has the Fourth Princess Consort looked carefully Is she truly not there"
"I could recognize that person at first glance."
Dugu Yan looked at these palace maids and asked, "Are all the people here"
"Your Majesty, there's also a sister named Manting. She was sent by the Empress to attend to Your Highness. She was just called away to the Phoenix Hall by the Empress."
Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment and asked, “Is this Miss Manting similar in build to your Imperial Concubine Ronggui Is she usually cold and aloof, giving off an air of unapproachability”
Wind Lingxi described the person's appearance, seeing them nod. Wind Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan, "Your Majesty, this woman should be the one who hurt me."
Dugu Yan waved her hand, signaling for the palace maids to retreat. She ordered, "This matter is not to be mentioned to anyone. Otherwise, you will answer for it with your lives."
The palace maids retreated at her command, and only then did Gu Yanyi speak to Feng Lingxi, "Since this person is from the Empress's side, it's already quite clear that she's involved. This matter can't be separated from the Empress. However, even if Man Ting is the Empress's person, there's no way to prove that all these things were done by the Empress herself."
"I know."
"Your Majesty, you must be extremely careful when dealing with the Empress. Don't fall victim to her schemes."
The Empress Dowager warned, having learned from past mistakes, Dugu Yan naturally understood how to deal with the harsh realities. Otherwise, this deposed empress would have been finished long ago.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, tomorrow I will return to the General's Mansion. I wonder if I could go back home for a visit I am not quite at ease."
Feng Yu Xi was definitely a formidable opponent. She had to tell Du Gu Cheng to remind Yu Mo in Lin Xi County to be careful and guard against Feng Yu Xi's schemes, lest they be caught off guard.
"Whatever you have done to make him enter the palace, this Empress cannot let you return to the Fourth Prince's Manor. The matter has not been cleared up, and you are still guilty until proven innocent."
Feng Lingxi nodded, it was enough to see Dugu Cheng. She would tell him what had happened, and the rest, would be up to Dugu Cheng.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Lord Luo requests an audience!"
Lord Luò
Feng Ling Xi's first thought was of Luo Li. Had he entered the palace
Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a bit excited about him. At least she could have Luoli help her pass messages out.
"Declare."
A white figure gracefully entered the scene, followed by another person. Feng Lingxi looked at the two with joy. It was indeed Luo Li and Li Wu Yan. Upon seeing Feng Lingxi, Luo Li and Li Wu Yan's eyes showed surprise, but they quickly returned to normal.
"I have seen the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
Luo Li was not treated with the proper etiquette for a subject, this special treatment made Feng Ling Xi recall how they treated Luo Li before, she couldn't help but envy Luo Li for being the clan leader.
Now that I think about it, the Saintess of the Yao Clan is really no match for him.
"Lord Lu, there is no need for formalities, please sit."
Dugu Yan spoke, her eyes looking towards the person behind Luo Li, "Young Master Luo brought a friend today, I wonder who he is"i's face grew rather grim. Observing that the chieftain remained unperturbed, he tentatively inquired, 'Chieftain, what should we do about this Holy Lord'""Since there's no other suitable candidate,...
