tter me. I have no such intentions.""Last night's ghost incident kept this princess awake half the night. It’s only five o'clock in the morning, and this princess hasn't slept late, has she"Feng Lingx...“I didn't return to the mansion until dawn.”

Feng Lingxi heard him say this, and her mood became complicated.

If Feng Lingyu really wasn't dead, would she have a good life back at Liuwangfu if she returned

"My lord, could you find out any news about the Wind Spirit Jade"

Dugu Cheng looked at the worry in her eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Xier, why are you so worried that Feng Lingyu isn't dead"

Feng Lingxi glanced at the doorway, seeing no one there before she spoke, "Yesterday, Feng Lingyu held me hostage, but it wasn't because she truly wanted to kill me. She wanted me to help her with something."

“She asked you to do it”

Thinking back to yesterday, when Feng Lingyu was choking Xier by the neck with such ferocity, he watched and felt like he wanted to strangle Feng Lingyu himself. But Xier told him it was all an act

"What on earth is going on"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, “To be honest, I still don't understand what happened. After Feng Lingyu kidnapped me, I thought she was going to kill me, but she said she had been used by Feng Linglong and the Sixth Prince. She also said that she couldn't live anymore and asked me to promise her, to help her kill Feng Linglong and the Sixth Prince.”

"She's going to kill Feng Linglong"

When they saw the wind, Ling Xi nodded. Dugu City looked unbelievable.

"I never would have thought that these two sisters would one day come to this."

"In that case, this Wind Spirit Jade finally saw things clearly before she died."

獨孤城 grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand, worriedly saying, "Lingxi, if you encounter such a situation again, you mustn't be soft-hearted. Carry more poison on you for self-defense."

"I..."

She could have escaped yesterday, but she didn't want to expose her abilities. She deliberately let Feng Lingyu take her hostage. She had already shown too much yesterday. If they knew she was skilled in martial arts and used poison, I'm afraid no one would want her to live.

Dugu City looked at her with those eyes and hurriedly said, "It was your poison technique that you used against this king back then. As long as you can protect yourself, anything is fine. Don't let them hurt you, understand"

"Dugu Cheng, haven't you forgotten I know martial arts too."

Feng Lingxi stubbornly reminded, she remembered that she had shown him some fur in front of him. He wouldn't forget it, would he

"Can you fight"

At the sound of her calling his name, Dugu City couldn't help but smile.

"Are you talking about the boxing and kicking techniques that Qiang Benwang used that night"

Feng Ling's face changed suddenly, she glared at him, "Dugu Cheng, do you want to get beaten"

獨孤城的臉上笑容越來越燦爛，看著她臉上的紅暈，心情大好啊，“本王去幫你打聽訊息，快去吃早膳，一會兒本王就回來。”

Dugu Cheng's smile grew even more radiant, looking at the blush on her face, his mood was great, "This king will go and inquire about the news for you, quickly go eat breakfast, this king will be back in a while."

As soon as she heard he was leaving, Feng Lingxi responded. Suddenly, her lips felt warm, and Du Gucheng took the opportunity to steal a kiss from her. Before she could recover, he had already disappeared.

"Dugu City."

He's really getting bold, taking the opportunity to steal a kiss from her.

"Your Highness, the King has left the palace. Please stop calling for him."

Xiao Li walked in holding a basin, her smile on her face made Feng Ling Xi suppress his anger.

"Why are you laughing You're laughing while I'm being bullied by him"

Xiao Li wasn't afraid at all. She put down the basin and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is bullying you. How dare a servant interfere"

No big or small.

Feng Lingxi looked at the smile on Xiaoli's face and put away her thoughts, "Is there any news from the palace"

"There's no news yet, Your Highness. What are you waiting for"

"No news is good news, let's go have breakfast."

After Feng Ling finished washing up, she went to the dining hall for a meal. She was exhausted from yesterday's work and needed some time to relax. These days, she couldn't afford to be careless, especially in the palace. She wondered if the Empress would bring up the matter of taking another concubine for Duke Dugu again.

She has been surpassed by Shen Yun, she should not have the face to think about marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The Minister of War's side shouldn't be a threat, the Empress wouldn't send an incompetent pawn to deal with her. That leaves only Feng Linglong as the problem; she went silent all day yesterday, but looks like she's about to make a move.

As she had expected, the Empress did not arrange for Shen Yun to marry into the Fourth Prince's Manor. Feng Lingyu's life and death became a mystery. The Sixth Prince's Manor did not hold a funeral or cremation, as if Feng Lingyu had never died at all.

In this way, she spent several days in anxiety. On the fourth day of the Empress's birthday banquet, Feng Lingxi received the news that Dugucheng was going to go on an expedition, and he would leave in three days. What made her most unbearable was that the Empress actually bestowed a marriage between Dugucheng and Shen Yun on this day.

When the flower palanquin arrived, Dugu City directly ordered Ye Xi to block it at the entrance and instructed the dark guards of the Fourth Prince's Mansion to carry the palanquin back to the Prime Minister's Residence, forcefully breaking off the engagement. Windling Xi only learned about all this after Shen Yun was sent back to the Prime Minister's Residence.

Du Gucheng's actions enraged the Empress and the Prime Minister. Shen Yun was humiliated by this, seeking death or a way to live, making her life miserable.

"Xiao Li, has the Prince returned"

"The prince has gone to the palace."

Xiao Li looked at the worry on the Queen's face and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the King"

Feng Lingxi didn't conceal it, nodding her head. Ever since they shared happy news, there hadn't been any physical intimacy between them. Dugu Cheng was busy every day, leaving early and returning late, his figure rarely seen. He had arranged everything perfectly, even Shen Yun's withdrawal; she only found out about it afterward.

Come to think of it, everything that happened in the palace, Duguyan was hiding it all from her.

"Xiao Li, do you have any news from the General's Mansion"

"No, ever since Miss Two's incident, the General has entrusted everything to the current Madam and hasn't heard any news."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brow, could it be that this father was stimulated by Feng Lingyu's death

And what about Feng Yu Xi Did she do anything

On the day of the Empress's birthday banquet, she still thought that someone would make trouble for her. Unexpectedly, she remained silent throughout the entire event, sitting beside Feng Aotiān without making a sound. She even wasted such a good opportunity. Did her mother misunderstand them as mother and daughter, or was she hiding too deeply

"Speaking of this, Your Highness, there's something the servant girl doesn't know if she should say"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's tangled expression, "If you should say it, just say it. If you shouldn't, don't."

Xiaoli looked at the Princess and hurriedly said, "These past few days when I went out, the streets and alleys of the capital were all talking about General's Mansion. The most talked about were you and the second Miss. They said that you are deeply hidden and showed your brilliance at the Empress's birthday banquet, making all the women lose face."

"Well, that's certainly something."

This person's words are to be feared, isn't that about right

"My Queen, it's being said outside that you and the Second Miss conspired to put on a show. You wanted to attract attention at the Empress' birthday banquet. After the Second Miss' suicide, you pleaded for her, claiming your actions were intentional. This was all a ploy to make people see you as kind, compassionate, and unforgettable – talented beyond compare, unmatched in the world."

"If they said it so well, then what else did they say"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's appearance, "It seems like I am really famous this time."Feng Lingxi in a way that made it seem like they were close sisters.While Mo Huilan, who had always gotten along well with Feng Lingxi before, was now saying nothing but bad things about her everywher...
