was clear that Xier hadn't done it. There was no reason to keep her detained. Seeing her so thin, Dugu City's eyes were filled with concern."It's best to follow their lead and stay in the palace. It w..."Xi'er, let's go out first."

Dugu City dragged Feng Lingxi away, Shu Taifei stared at the golden talisman for exemption from death, her thoughts drifting far away.

"Dugu City, why was your mother so shocked when she saw the golden talisman of immunity"

"He must be thinking of his father, right"

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Ling lowering her head in silence, and softly said, "It's none of your business. My mother has always kept the Emperor in her heart. Let her be for a while, nothing will happen."

Wind Ling responded, glancing at the time, "I'll go to the General's Mansion and take care of things."

As her mother treated her like her own flesh and blood, she couldn't bear to see her mother harmed in the slightest. She would do everything in her power to protect her mother.

"My lord."

Yexi stepped forward and saw Feng Lingxi was also there. The words she had almost spoken were swallowed back down.

"Ye Xi has met the Queen."

Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Xi winking at him and said to Feng Lingxi, "You wait for this king in front for a while, I'll be right there."

Feng Lingxi didn't ask further. Since the other party didn't want her to know, she wouldn't pry. What needed to be known would eventually be revealed.

"My Lord, I just received news that the Third Prince has transported a batch of weapons from Liangzhou and placed them in a courtyard outside the capital."

"How many"

“I'm not sure, should we keep watching”

Dugu Cheng shook his head, "There's no need to keep staring. Dugu Xiu wouldn't be unaware of this matter. When they fight, Dugu Yan will be watching on." Dugu Yan was not a foolish ruler. He knew the intentions of both Dugu Xiu and Dugu Yu. Now that he had recovered, he would investigate these matters himself. He didn't want to interfere in their affairs.

"In three days, I'm going to the Yao clan. You arrange for the safety of the palace. Transfer the Shadow Guards to the palace and secretly protect your mother's safety. This time, let Ye Su secretly protect her."

Ye Xi responded and withdrew, only then did Dugu Cheng go out. Seeing Xi'er waiting for him at the door, he softly said, "Xi'er, let's go."

Once on the carriage, Dugu Cheng told Feng Lingxi, "Ye Xi told me that Dugu Yu has a batch of weapons stored at a house outside the city."

"Just leave them alone, Dugu Xiu will naturally keep an eye on Dugu Yu. Besides, with Dugu Yan's recovery, he won't be unaware of their intentions. He'll keep watch himself, so don't meddle."

"This king also thought so, and let Ye Xi withdraw."

Feng Lingxi responded, and the carriage went to the General's Mansion. For her, securing her mother concubine's safety was more important than anything else.

Upon arriving at the General's Manor, Feng Aotian was not present. Instead, Zhao shi came out to greet them. Looking at Zhao shi's luxurious attire, Feng Lingxi merely glanced coldly and said nothing.

This Feng Aotian making Zhao Shi his concubine was merely talk, how could Zhao Shi stoop to being a concubine She was still the Empress's revered mother after all. However, this lavish display of finery and flamboyance lacked the dignity of a mistress and added a hint of a courtesan's frivolous air.

Zhao shi didn't expect Feng Ling Xi to suddenly visit. She hadn't had time to change her clothes and stood there, a little embarrassed.

"I've come to look for my father."

"That general went out and will be back shortly. Fourth Master and Fourth Madam go to the front hall for a cup of tea, shall we wait"

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng looked at each other, immediately it was mealtime, Feng Aotian should be back too.

"Hmm."

Zhao hurriedly took them to the front hall. Feng Yihao heard that Feng Lingxi had arrived and rushed over from the backyard. Seeing Dugu City was also there, he wanted to question him, but he held back.

"I have met Lord Four Kings and Lady Four Kings."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yihao and said lightly, "Is there anything you want to ask me"

Feng Yihao looked at Dugu City, seeing that he didn't speak, so he clasped his hands and asked, "Dare I ask the Fourth Royal Princess, has my fifth brother already been cured"

"Not yet, but soon."

Feng Yixuan's face instantly improved.

"Master and Mistress Si, it's almost time for lunch. Why don't you stay and eat with us"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City and, seeing him nod, said, "I'll trouble you."

"No, it's an honor for the General's Residence. This servant will take her leave now."

The former concubine changed her words to "this servant", Feng Lingxi's lips curled slightly, without saying a word.

Feng Yihao had been staring at Feng Lingxi's expression, watching her dismissive gaze. He opened his mouth and asked, "Princess Consort Si, are you here to see Father about something important"

"Related to Yi Xuan's bandwagon effect."

Feng Yihao hurriedly asked, "Then..."

"Xier, Yumo should go back this time too. Staying in the capital alone for the New Year would be too lonely."

Dugu Cheng interrupted Feng Yihao's question. In this General's Mansion, there was simply no place for Yu Mo. He felt sorry for Yu Mo. This time, going back to avoid the turmoil in the capital was a good thing.

Of course, with him around, these days he's been extremely busy.

For the sake of uncovering clues about her assassination, Feng Yu Mo had been tirelessly searching day and night without a break. She worried that if he couldn't find any leads, things could go wrong and he might end up implicated. The only way she would feel at ease was if he brought back evidence from Linxi County.

"Why is the Fourth Princess so kind to Feng Yu Mo"

Feng Yihao's words are not very reliable. He heard that Feng Yumo, following Feng Lingxi, has an excellent treatment. The Fourth Prince personally teaches him, while others have to call the Fourth Prince, he calls his sister-in-law, just like Feng Lingxi's own brother.

"Feather Ink is sensible and I get along well with her."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yihao, "Life is better lived with a kind heart."

Feng Yihao gave her a cold glance, his expression of disdain caused Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes to narrow. He really was the product of his parents; he was just like Feng Yuxi's younger brother.

"After all, he is the Emperor's younger brother. Don't ruin his future."

Feng Lingxi's words fell, and Feng Yihao glared at her, "It's not my turn for the Fourth Princess to discipline me."

"The Sixth Master is indeed quite aware of his own status, but this King reminds you that Xi'er is this King's beloved consort and no one is allowed to disrespect her."

Dugu Cheng opened his mouth with a cold face, Feng Lingxi held his hand, signaling him not to act impulsively.

She was just trying to gauge Feng Yihua's attitude, there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

"Rest assured, Fourth Master. As long as the Fourth Madam doesn't cause me trouble, I will naturally address her as Fourth Madam."

Feng Yihao coldly scanned Feng Lingxi, then watched as her father walked in. He stepped forward to pay his respects, "Father, the Fourth Prince and Princess have arrived. This child will take leave."

Feng Aotian hurriedly bowed to Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng, “Your subjects pay respects to the Fourth Prince and Princess. If my son has caused any inconvenience, please forgive him.”

"How could this be, the Sixth Young Master is so outstanding, with the bearing of a great General."

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Aotien's face stiffen. Looking at Feng Yihao's leaving figure, his eyes were full of doubt, and he asked, "Fourth Prince, has my son offended you in any way I apologize to the Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess on his behalf."

Get to the point.

Feng Lingxi didn't want to go through the charade with Feng Wudao. It felt insincere and made her nauseous just looking at it.

"Fourth Princess, please speak. This subject is all ears."ital seemed to turn cold overnight. When Dugu City returned to Si Wangfu, he learned that Luo Li had visited. Hearing about Xi'er's situation in the palace, Dugu City frowned and looked at Ye Xi besid...
