er up the ugly things you did to me"Feng Lingxi heard his words, glared at him, her eyes filled with coldness.Du Gucheng leaned forward, as if to kiss her, when Feng Lingxi coldly said, "If you want t..."So, in your opinion, what should I do with this Feng Lingxi"

Feng Linglong watched the Crown Princess ruining her plans, her fists clenched, but her eyes remained calm.

The Empress glanced at Feng Linglong, saying softly, "Linglong, you disposed of your own sister with your own hands. Won't you hold a grudge against this Palace"

Feng Linglong hastily got up and walked to the side of the Crown Princess, kneeling down. "Reporting to Your Majesty the Empress, Linglong knows that Lingyu has committed a grave sin. She was ordered to go to Liu Wangfu, knowing she couldn't escape, so she committed suicide by taking poison."

"Did the Fourth Princess and the Fourth Prince say anything to you at the Sixth Prince's residence"

The Crown Princess knelt there, seeing the Empress change the subject, she knelt there without making a sound.

"Since I, the fourth younger sister, married into the Fourth Prince's Manor, she, my elder sister, has no longer looked upon me. Yesterday, when I went to the Sixth Prince's Manor, she reprimanded me severely, saying that I am ruthless and cruel."

The Empress glanced at her, her eyes cold.

"You truly are ruthless. This palace thought you would find a way to help her escape yesterday, but I see you remain loyal to me."

Feng Linglong quickly explained, "Your Majesty Empress, since I have already married the Crown Prince, I am his person. Your Majesty's orders, I dare not disobey."

"You're quite loyal."

Feng Linglong knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound. The Empress had always kept her on a tight leash, testing her at every turn. One misstep and she would lose everything.

"Crown Princess, how do you think Consort Feng handled things this time"

The named Crown Princess raised her head and met Feng Linglong's alluring face, a sudden wave of nausea. "Mother Empress, your servant does not approve of her actions. Your servant heard that the Sixth Princess Consort attempted suicide by poison yesterday, and Consort Feng even stabbed the Sixth Princess Consort."

The Empress's beautiful eyes twitched slightly, her tone giving nothing away.

"Could there be such a thing"

"Your Majesty, I'm just afraid she might not die like last time."

"Wind Side Consort, at the very least, Sixth Princess is your own blood sister. Could you really want her dead like this"

Wind Linglong raised her head and met the gaze of the Crown Princess, looking at the question in her eyes, her voice slightly cold, "Does the Crown Princess hope that this servant will disobey the imperial decree"

“You keep repeating your mother’s orders, haven’t you ever thought about how the world will view her You poisoned her and then attacked her with a knife. Such ruthless methods, once spread, will surely ruin your mother’s reputation. Have you ever considered her feelings”

Feng Linglong clenched her fists tightly, never expecting that the Crown Princess would bite back this time. If things continued like this, wouldn't Empress Dowager be blamed for Lingyu’s death by everyone

“Your Highness, at the time, I didn't think much of it. I was just afraid that Lingyu wouldn't die, and wouldn't be able to report back to the Empress. I only wanted to do my best to help the Empress complete her task.” Feng Linglong’s eyes were red-rimmed, tears swirling in them, and her pitiful expression made the Crown Princess furious when she saw it.

The flirtatious woman is at it again, she still thinks she's a princess and this will work on him.

"Alright, you all may leave now."

The Crown Princess hurriedly said, “Mother Empress, this matter really is…”

"Zhao Ran, tomorrow you go to the Fourth Prince's Residence. Since this Wind Spirit Jade has died, you go and see for yourself if she's truly dead. Don't let the wind concubine's wholehearted devotion turn into ashes."

"Your Majesty, this servant also wishes to go together."

"You two go ahead, don't let young Yuer go with you. It's bad luck to see death at a wedding."

The Empress's words caused both Feng Linglong and the Crown Princess's faces to stiffen simultaneously. They had been fighting tooth and nail, but they had overlooked Shen Yun, who had just entered the household. If Shen Yun won over the Empress's favor, then when she defeated the Crown Princess, the position of Crown Princess wouldn't belong to her anymore.

This damned status as a bastard daughter, Feng Linglong's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She absolutely couldn't let them succeed.

Feng Ling Xi worked all night to save Feng Ling Yu, bringing her back from the brink of death. Luckily, her chest wasn't injured, and the poison she drank didn't reach her heart meridian. Although Feng Ling Long's strike was ruthless, it didn't hit any vital points, allowing for a successful operation and giving Feng Ling Yu a glimmer of hope.

"Xiao Li, do you have any visitors"

Feng Linglong might not come, but her father and the Empress's people are very likely to arrive. She has been busy all night, not even closing her eyes, afraid to sleep, she still has to watch over Feng Lingyu, making sure she truly escapes the danger of life.

"No, Your Highness, is Sixth Royal Consort alright"

"Little Li, this king told you, from now on don't call yourself the Sixth Princess Consort."

Dugu Cheng walked over and saw Feng Lingxi's tired face. He felt heartbroken and immediately ordered Xiaoli to prepare food, then helped Feng Lingxi sit down.

"My Lord, could you send a trustworthy person to guard her I'm worried the Empress's people might still come to spy on her. We absolutely can't let them know she's alive, or we're finished."

She spared no effort to snatch Feng Lingyu back from the underworld. She didn't want Feng Lingyu to die because of her negligence. Keeping Feng Lingyu alive was crucial, as she had grand plans for her.

"This king has already sent people to keep watch in the shadows. Not even a mosquito will get in, so rest assured and have a good rest."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Lingyu on the bed, "You didn't ask me, why did you go to such lengths to save her"

Dugu Cheng held her hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "This king believes you must have your reasons for doing this. Just cooperate."

獨孤城，thank you.

Feng Lingxi reached out and hugged him, leaning against his chest. Feng Lingxi felt that he was guarding her now, it felt so good. She was tired, she could lean on him, without any worries.

Dugu Cheng reached out and patted lightly on her back, the corner of his mouth lifted, feeling an indescribable excitement in his heart. Xi'er finally cared about him.

"Xier, this king found a death row inmate whose appearance was similar to Fengling. He arranged for her to be buried as one of his concubines in the palace. Otherwise, there would be no excuse to hold a funeral for her."

Feng Lingxi curiously pushed him away, her eyes filled with confusion. "What if they want to examine the body"

"The disguise was flawless; if not for the coroner's examination, there wouldn't have been a single clue exposed."

The Empress was killed, Feng Linglong stabbed her again, and with the injuries she already had, it shouldn't raise suspicion that Feng Lingyu is dead.

"I'm going out to take a look. I have to make sure everything is foolproof. I'm worried the Empress might send someone to check again, and we also have to be wary of the General's Mansion. We can't let them find anything."

"Alright, this King will accompany you outside."

Feng Lingxi washed up, removing the weariness from her face. She changed into a plain white garment and walked out to the main hall. Seeing the entire palace adorned with white lanterns and everyone wearing expressions of sorrow, Feng Lingxi was quite satisfied with Dugu City's arrangements.

Feng Lingyu, who had taken the place of the deceased, lay in state in the front hall. There were guards at the spirit altar, and when they saw them arrive, they simply exchanged glances.

Have people from the General's Mansion come

Feng Lingxi asked, seeing them shake their heads. She walked to the front of the coffin and looked at the face that was exactly like hers and Feng Lingyu's. She examined it carefully but couldn't see any signs.lace; I'm getting hungry."Feng Lingxi was absent, and both Yao Wan Ying and Dugu City had their own concerns. There were some things they didn't want Feng Lingxi to know. Both of them had the same goa...
