fore the wind could even rise, Liu shi chided, "Linglong, apologize to Xi'er.""Mother..."Feng Linglong coquettishly called out, but she was met with a slap that landed hard on her face. The burning pa...Dugu Xiu looked at Feng Lingxi, “Don’t you want to know the truth This king will tell you the truth, just to let you know who is the real murderer who poisoned his father.”
“But the Empress Dowager is your birth mother, wouldn’t you be afraid that she would punish you along with her if you accused her” Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gucheng’s bloodshot eyes, knowing the truth had upset him. However, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his hand, shaking her head at him, signaling him not to act impulsively.
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng's interaction came into Dugu Xiu's eyes. Watching the two of them exchange glances, Dugu Xiu asked with discontent, "Fourth brother, I told you about the cause of Father Emperor's death, hoping you would know the truth. Now that the situation in the court is so chaotic, this king doesn't even know when it will be his turn. If this king doesn't say it today, I'm afraid you'll never have another chance to know the truth."
"Father, was it truly Empress Dowager and Dugu Yan who killed you"
Dugu Xiu nodded, looking at Dugu Cheng's tightly clenched fist. The pair of eyes filled with killing intent and forbearance made him very satisfied. He knew that Dugu Cheng couldn't remain indifferent. His father had loved him so much before, if he didn't even feel angry about this, it would be a waste of his father's love for him.
"Fourth Brother, this time when I came here, I also want to remind you all. The Demon Queen's people have come to assassinate Fourth Sister-in-law. If we calculate the time, it should be these few days. That's all I can reveal. If one day I suddenly disappear, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law must hold on strong. Unite with the other brothers and sisters, you must defend Father Emperor's territory."
"What do you mean by that You're making it sound like we're parting ways forever."
Wind and Rain had sent someone to kill her, which was within her expectations. However, Wind and Rain would probably be disappointed. To attempt an assassination in Xincun County showed just how little Wind and Rain thought of her.
獨孤修's expression grew solemn. "Empress Four, you might not be aware of this, but General Feng's return this time is likely to be fraught with danger. You see, although the Emperor has made Yu Xi Empress, Consort Long has been relegated to the cold palace and subjected to untold humiliations."
Feng Lingxi feigned surprise and asked, "How is that possible Isn't the Emperor very fond of Feng Linglong How could he possibly put her in cold palace"
"Nowadays, the imperial harem is a place where even a slight disturbance can cost one their life. Feng Yu Xi's methods are so ruthless, they could be described as venomous and cruel."
Feng Ling Xi listened to Du Gu Xiu's words, surprised again and again.
"What the Sixth Prince is saying is too exaggerated. Is the weather this bad I only know that she hates me. What does she have against the other concubines in the palace By doing this, isn't she going to lose the position she finally got"
"With the emperor's indulgence, do you think she would be in any trouble"
Feng Lingxi couldn't believe it. Even Dugu Yan didn't seem like the foolish person Dugu Xiu had described. How could she allow Feng Yuxi to turn his harem into such a chaotic mess What puzzled her most was, what kind of enticement could the Empress Dowager possibly have offered to make Feng Yuxi act so recklessly
"This king has said all he needed to say. The reason for my visit is indeed to tell you all this. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. All I can say is, when things happen, you will believe what this king told you."
Dugu Xiu held the teacup, sipping tea and watching Dugu Cheng in silence. He felt a bit flustered inside.
Why don't you care at all about the Emperor's death Could it be that you don't even care now that Feng Lingxi was misunderstood back then
"Did Feng Aotian go back because of Yu Xi's call this time"
Dugu Cheng suddenly asked, Dugu Xiu nodded solemnly, "Feng Yu Xi became the empress, Feng Ao Tian went back this time, if this king is not mistaken, he was enfeoffed. Keeping him in the capital city is actually keeping him imprisoned and monitoring his every move."
She was afraid of staying here. If Feng Aotian and I teamed up, she would have nothing left.
Feng Ling Xi's words made Dugu Xiu nod in agreement, "This king thinks the same way. If Feng Ao Tian goes back and disagrees or resists, the situation will be even worse."
“This wind and rain are indeed quite cautious. Does she think that trapping Feng Aotian will ensure her safety”
Feng Lingxi scoffed and shook her head, "Foolish!"
"Fourth Brother, what do you think Father's reign was hard-won. You excel in every way compared to that Dugu Yan. You should just…"
"Sixth brother, don't speak such treasonous words in front of me. I promised our father that I wouldn't compete with Dugu Yan for the throne. That is my word."
Dugu Cheng clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, "If you think this King is incompetent, this King has nothing to say. I promised my father, and this King will definitely do it."
Dugu Xiu was furious. With Dugu City in such a state, he still remained loyal to the emperor Was this a joke
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Xiu's face, full of frustration and anger. She tugged on Dugu Cheng's sleeve, "The Sixth Prince has already revealed the truth. We should find an opportunity to ask Wang Taiyi about it. If he really poisoned our father, we absolutely can't let him get away with it."
獨孤城憤怒地拍桌子，嚇了獨孤修一一大跳，隨即聽得獨孤城冷冷地說，“本王饒不了他！”
Dugu Xiu almost pointed at Dugu Cheng and swore angrily. He clearly did this on purpose. He didn't dare to confront his mother, his sister, or even find a doctor to avenge their father!
"Sixth Wangye, has the Emperor summoned you back to Beijing"
Feng Lingxi eagerly asked, as if they had already collaborated.
This king received a secret letter, the imperial decree will arrive in a few days, summoning this king back to the capital for the New Year. The envoys from various countries in the Western Regions are already on their way, afraid they will have to stay for a while.
The several small kingdoms and tribes in the Western Regions were quite well-behaved. After being dealt with by Dugu City, they would personally bring tribute to the capital every time it was due, showing their sincerity.
"According to what you say, the Emperor will also summon us back to Beijing."
Feng Lingxi was calculating, there were still a few months until the New Year. If she could return to the capital and save her mother, it would be a good plan.
This time there was no request for the Fourth Brother to return. The Fourth Brother refused to hand over his military power, his achievements overshadowed everyone else. The Emperor is so wary of the Fourth Brother, how could he allow him to enter the capital If the envoys were to see this, they might think the Fourth Brother was the true emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Could the Emperor possibly let the Fourth Brother return
Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, seeing that Dugu Cheng remained silent, she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Sixth younger brother, be sure to take care on your way back this time. Since there's no need for me to return, I shall stay here for now. I'll wait until the Yao Clan's treasures are retrieved. Once the mission is complete, I will return to the capital and report."
Dugu Cheng's words almost made Dugu Xiu furious, "Fourth Brother, are you really going to offer the Yao Clan's treasure with both hands With the Yao Clan's treasures, you can have anything you want!"
Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Dugu Xiu's expression of anger and frustration, and asked coldly, "Sixth brother, are you implying that I want to rebel"
