Chapter 985: Transformation 59
ed at embarrassing her and creating an opportunity to divorce her from her position as Princess Consort.If she deliberately made herself ugly to spite them, Consort Mother and Dugu City would surely b..."To be frank, I am Ye Shuang, the sister of the family of Sanwangye (Duke Dugo Yu). This time, I came here specifically to ask Siwangye (Duke) for help."
"The sisters-in-law of the Third King"
Xiao Li looked at Ye Shuang in surprise, she had just thought it was someone impersonating her.
"My Queen, how did you see through it"
Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Shuang, "The Third Prince's incident has only been a few days, and it took half a month's journey from Liangzhou. Your speed makes me suspicious."
Three Wangye had already found something amiss half a month ago, so he sent me away and instructed me to come here to seek the help of Si Wangye. I didn't expect to meet people from the Luo Mansion on the way and be captured. Luckily, I managed to escape and encountered Si Wangfei.
"How coincidental."
Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Shuang, "I've been back to the Yao Clan for so many days, don't tell me it's such a coincidence that I happened to run into you today when I returned. Tell me, isn't this coincidence a bit too much"
Ye Shuang's face was very ugly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"The Fourth Princess doesn't believe me, but I can prove my identity and that everything I say is true."
Feng Lingxi arched an eyebrow, "Oh, do tell."
Ye Shuang took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Feng Lingxi. Looking at the character "Yu" engraved on it, Feng Lingxi frowned, "This jade pendant is just an ordinary jade pendant. The carved "Yu" character is different from what I've seen before. Besides, you were taken to Luofu, didn't the people of Luofu search you How could this jade pendant escape their eyes"
This Ye Shuang's ability to deceive is too poor. This jade pendant is an ordinary jade pendant. If she hadn't seen Dugu Yu's jade pendant, she would really wonder if she was Dugu Yu's cousin from her mother's side.
Furthermore, Ye Shuang's words simply don't add up chronologically.
“I hid very deeply, so…”
Ye Shuang's eyes flickered, and she started to panic a little.
"How deep is it"
Feng Lingxi swept Ye Xiang up and down with his gaze, then laughed, "With your looks, if it were as you say, wouldn't Lord Luo of the Luo Mansion have let you go and not searched you"
"When he grabbed me, he wanted to make me his concubine. I thought about escaping right then and there, so I agreed to him, but I asked for an auspicious day and time. He locked me in a room, and that's when I had the chance to escape."
"You're right, that does sound beautiful. Lady Luo will certainly follow your advice."
Ye Shuang panicked and hurriedly said, "What I said is true, Your Highness. If the Fourth Princess doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Feng Lingxi stared at Ye Shuang for a long while before saying softly, "Xiao Li, you go to Luofu and ask Lord Luo to come see me."
Ye Shuang's eyes widened in panic. Hearing Feng Ling Xi's words, she was truly frightened. If Lord Luo came, wouldn't they all be exposed
"Fourth Princess, I..."
"Tell me the truth"
Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Shuang, “I only give you one chance.”
Ye Shuang hesitated, Xiao Li looked at the princess, she couldn't believe that the princess had guessed everything. Looking at Ye Shuang's panicked eyes now, she didn't expect her to be a liar after all.
Three, two, one…
"I said."
Ye Shuang took a deep breath and looked at Feng Lingxi, "I said."
Wind Ling nodded, “Go on.”
Ye Shuang looked at Feng Lingxi, hesitating for a long time before saying, “I did come from Liangzhou, but I’m not here to find the Fourth Prince. Someone offered a high price to have me find him.”
"Du Guyu"
Ye Shuang shook her head, "It wasn't him. That person didn't say who he was, just gave me a ten thousand taels silver note and said that as long as I came here according to his instructions and looked for the Fourth Prince, everything would be arranged by him. All I had to do was follow through."
Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows slightly, "Was this arranged from Liangzhou"
Ye霜 nodded, "I originally didn't agree, but they said that if I didn't agree, they would kill me."
"Including what happened today, was that also arranged by that person"
Ye Frost nodded, "I did everything according to his instructions. He said, as long as you believe it, I can live and leave."
"From Liangzhou, they brought you here to act with him. Is this person a man or a woman"
"Man."
Ye Shuang's answer piqued Feng Lingxi's curiosity. Coming from Liangzhou, a territory controlled by Dugu Yu, pretending to be his cousin and using a jade pendant that didn't match Dugu Yu's status... was this intentional or unintentional
"So are all these people from the Lu Mansion today fake"
“All of this is true. I was indeed taken to the Luo Mansion, and the master of the Luo Mansion, Lord Luo, is truly obsessed with beauty. He really wanted to take me as his concubine. If it wasn't because I was here on official business, he would have dealt with me long ago.”
Ye Shuang knelt before Feng Lingxi at this point.
"Your Highness, everything I said is true. I've told you everything now. All I ask is for your mercy. I believe you won't treat me like he did. That's why I confessed everything."
Feng Lingxi frowned, "Xiao Li, you should quickly investigate what kind of situation this Luo Mansion is in."
Xiao Li glanced at Ye Shuang and whispered, "Your Highness, be careful of this woman."
Feng Lingxi responded and, seeing Ye Shuang's slightly trembling body, thought to herself that she was indeed quite a good actress.
Get up.
Wind Lingxi looked at Ye Shuang, "I know your intentions. Since you don't know who is behind this, just wait for me to find that person, and then you can leave."
"Thank you for taking me in, Your Grace."
Feng Lingxi nodded, "For now, just stay by my side. I won't mistreat you."
Ye Shuang was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and expressed her deepest gratitude.
Feng Lingxi settled Ye Shuang and then had people bring everyone captured today forward. Looking at the dozen or so people before her, Feng Lingxi scrutinized them from head to toe.
"I ask you again, are you truly from the Luo Mansion"
Those who were arrogant before, now have lost their swagger. After knowing Feng Lingxi's identity, they all became timid and dared not act out of line.
"Your Majesty, this servant indeed belongs to the Luo Residence."
"Answer well, and be lenient in your punishment."
Feng Lingxi's words made their eyes light up. "The Fourth Princess, please ask anything, and I will tell you everything I know."
Today, you said that the young lady from Luo Mansion is to marry the Fourth Prince as a concubine. Is this true
The first person's face was slightly pale, stammering and hesitant to speak.
"You are innocent."
"Even I heard it from Lord Luo. He said they were going to send Miss here to serve as a concubine for the Fourth Prince."
"Oh"
Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and presented herself before Dugu City. This woman who came to the door uninvited, if she were refused, the rumors that would spread wouldn't be flattering. She was simply offered the position of concubine as soon as she arrived. This was the first time he had heard such a thing.
"As for this matter, has Fourth Wangye already learned of it"
"It's unknown, the Fourth Prince is away recently, Lord Luo hasn't inquired about it, but Lord Luo said that the Fourth Prince would definitely like my young lady."
"Why" Feng Lingxi was curious. What was so special about this young lady from the Luo family that she was so confidentgxi really didn't give her any face. In front of the Empress Dowager, she dared to speak like this, it was truly annoying."Feng Lingxi, this Empress summoned you today to confirm the identity of this...
