Chapter 843: Falling Frost Flowers 33

se, she would have been finished today."Your Highness, are you alright"Xiao Li hurried forward, grabbed her hand, and rolled up her sleeve to look at the bruise on her spleen. This Zhao Mama was so ru..."Father, son this trip out have already..."

Before he could finish his words, Feng Cangkai shouted angrily, "A man's ambition lies throughout the world. Going out for less than three to five years can hardly be considered leaving home!"

Feng Aotien, rebuked like that, caught a glimpse of Feng Lingxi from the corner of his eye and quickly understood what his father meant.

It's just that he doesn't want him to come back, lest Feng Lingxi can't bear to stay at the General's Mansion and leave. He just came back and heard that Feng Lingxi returned to the mansion, and also heard that the Fourth Prince and Feng Lingxi were fighting fiercely, fearing that they would soon be separated.

"Father, once my son's affairs are finished, I will have to go out in a few days."

"Leave now."

Feng Cangkai didn't want to speak to him for a moment. Just looking at Feng Aotian made him angry. This good home was ruined by him, and he also let him taste the feeling of being disliked, letting him taste the feeling of Xi'er's initial neglect.

Feng Aotian glanced at Feng Lingxi and said, "Father, my son heard that the Fourth Princess is living in the mansion..."

"Well, can't my little girl come back and live here Or is it that this General's Mansion now only operates by your say-so"

But, she...

Before Feng Aotien could finish his words, Feng Cangkai shouted angrily, "Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are to speak up in the General's Mansion Even Xi’er can’t stay here, so what business does anyone else have"

Feng Cangkai's furious reprimand made Feng Aoti tremble. He had just returned, and he certainly didn't want to be driven out of the General's Mansion for this.

It's said that this was a campaign to suppress bandits and quell unrest, but in reality, it was just sending him to areas where bandits lurked—places harsher and more difficult to survive than the borderlands. They called it "guiding" the suppression of bandits, but it was really just making him clear land for farming and providing a place for those bandits to settle down.

"Grandpa, don't be angry."

Feng Lingxi felt Feng Aotian's displeasure, so she helped Feng Cangkai sit down.

"Just as Grandfather said, I live here without needing to report to him. As long as Grandfather doesn't drive me away, Xi'er will stay at the mansion for a few more days."

"He dares!"

Feng Cangkai glared at Feng Aotien, "If he dares to kick you out, I'll break his dog legs."

"Father, my son didn't mean it, he was just... the Fourth Princess..."

Feng Cangkai roared, "What does it have to do with you Get out of here!"

Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of anger, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

"Grandpa, this isn't the first time he's been upset with me. It's not worth arguing with him like this."

Feng Lingxi soothed, clearly sensing Grandpa's strong displeasure with Feng Aotiān. She also felt Grandpa's forbearance, which didn't seem to be solely due to her. Feng Aotiān truly made Grandpa very dissatisfied.

"At first, I shouldn't have given him the General’s Mansion. This bastard has utterly disappointed me."

Feng Cangkai sighed, "It's useless to say anything now. If he had a shred of conscience, he'd get as far away from me as possible. I don't want him back even if I survive, just the sight of him makes me sick."

"Grandpa, just don't take it to heart, lest you upset your health."

Feng Cangkai nodded slightly.

"Grandpa understands, this General's Mansion is full of smoke and haze. Besides this unfilial son, it's that woman. Her mind is truly not ordinary."

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the worry in her grandfather's eyes. She smiled and comforted him.

"Grandpa, it's fine. Xi'er has gotten through this for so long. I'm used to those demons and ghosts now, they can't hurt me." Besides, with Grandpa's protection, what could possibly happen to me

Feng Cangkai patted her on the back, "You little girl, you're quite bold."

Feng Lingxi smiled and looked at Xiao Li beside her, asking her to get some food.

When Feng Aotien returned, the atmosphere at General's Mansion changed. Feng Yumo came to the back garden to find Feng Lingxi, but after Feng Aotien returned, the two met and quarreled for an unknown reason, making things very unpleasant.

Feng Lingxi doesn't need to ask to know, this matter is related to her.

Feng Cangkai asked Feng Yumuo to accompany Feng Lingxi to the back mountain to collect medicine. After sending them away, he severely reprimanded Feng Aotien, making the atmosphere at General's Mansion very unpleasant.

"Sister, how is the General's Manor now Would you like to return to live in the Fourth Prince's Mansion"

"Because Feng Aotian is back"

Feng Lingxi sneered, thinking of Feng Aotian's gaze at her, her attitude towards Feng Aotian became even colder.

"I'm just worried he might do you harm. You know, to him, we're not even his real family."

Feng Yu Mo's complex expression in his ink-like eyes made Feng Ling Xi feel a twinge of sadness, so she patted his shoulder.

"What are you thinking so much about Now that the General's Mansion is under Grandfather's rule, Feng Aotian wouldn't dare to go against him, would he Besides, with Empress Cen and I at odds now, and the situation in the General's Mansion like this, it seems some hidden agendas within the court are about to be revealed."

Feng Yu Mo looked at the scheming in his sister's eyes, feeling a little worried.

"Sister, dangerous things, you must absolutely not take risks."

"I know, I can see you're worried."

Feng Lingxi walked forward, Xiao Li followed behind. In the shadows, the guards of the Shadow Guards and the Four Royal Guards were secretly protecting them. But in their shadows, another group of people were staring at them, it could be said that: mantis catching cicada, oriole behind.

Feng Lingxi didn't seem to notice much. She knew that her every move was under someone's surveillance, but even so, what was meant to come would still come, and what was destined to be killed couldn't escape its fate.

Feng Lingxi and her brother, Feng Wu Mo, were collecting herbs in the mountains when secretly, the Yao Clan's Shadow Guards and those who intended to assassinate Feng Lingxi clashed. The Yao Clan's Shadow Guards and Dugu City's Shadow Guards had silently eliminated a group of assassins, leaving no trace as if nothing had happened.

Peace and Tranquility Temple

Empress Cen listened to the report from below, her brows furrowed.

"Feng Aotian is back, and Feng Lingxi actually still has the time to go to the back mountain to collect medicine. It seems that she is really magnanimous. There are quite a few people outside the city who want to kill her, but she seems very at ease. It seems that she is very confident."

"Empress Dowager, should we just let things continue like this What if the Fourth Princess enters the palace and asks about it, how will Empress Dowager answer her"

Grandma Zhang reminded, that both the Fourth Princess and the Empress Dowager were intelligent people. Dealing with the intelligent and the intelligent is even more careful.

"Grandmother Zhang, in your opinion, who between the Fourth Princess and the Empress will stand out"

Empress Dowager Cen asked, and Zhang Mama hurriedly said, "Your servant thinks that the Empress is not to be feared. Instead, it is Lan Fei and Prince Beiping's current influence that should be controlled. After all, the imperial harem ultimately follows the Empress Dowager's lead. We cannot allow them to disrupt the harmony."

Then Empress Dowager Cen nodded slightly, "You're right. You tell Imperial Consort Shu that I miss her and ask her to come into the palace to chat with me."

"The old slave obeys your command."

The Imperial Noble Consort Shu had entered the palace. Both the Zhaoyang Palace and the Fengyi Palace received the news. The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort Shu had always been fraught with tension. This time, the Imperial Noble Consort Shu's entrance into the palace made both Feng Yu Xi and Mo Huai Lan think deeply. After all, there was still a desire for cooperation between the Pingbei Wang and the Siwangfu. child, very clingy, and this king couldn't resist her. Today's weather is pleasant, this king intends to take her out for a stroll. I originally planned to bring Doctor Li along, but now it seems tha...
