come to look for Feng Lingxi. He hurriedly asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, what are you going to do"A pair of sharp eyes darted around them, and Feng Yu Mo hurriedly said, "I'm going too.""We need to...Si Wangfu
Feng Lingxi and Dugu City returned to the mansion, arranging Luo Li and Li Wu Yan to stay in the palace. After a short rest, they were summoned to the palace without even time to breathe.
In the study.
Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi simultaneously went to see Dugu Yan. After paying their respects, Dugu Yan dismissed Feng Aotitian, leaving the couple alone with the emperor.
"I present myself before Your Majesty, Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"
Dugu Yan looked at the two of them, "Get up and speak."
Dugu Yan looked at Feng Lingxi, who had become even thinner. "Fourth brother, I know that you and your wife have just arrived in the capital, and summoning you in such a hurry must be because there's something important that needs to be discussed immediately. It's hard for both of you."
"Your Majesty speaks too highly of me. This is what a loyal subject should do."
Since leaving the capital, Dugu Cheng and Dugu Yan's interactions have improved considerably. Nowadays, Dugu Yan understands the political situation of the court. Although she remains guarded against Dugu Cheng, she is more suitable for him than anyone else.
"I believe you all have many questions for me upon your return, and I will take this opportunity to clarify them. It was not my decision to send the Sixth Brother to Linxi County to collect your military power, but Empress Dowager's."
Feng Lingxi heard Dugu Yan's words, her eyebrows slightly raised. Empress Cen wanted to take back Dugu Cheng, didn't that mean Dugu Yan had given the order
But before that, they said Empress Cen wanted to get rid of Dugu Xiu. Dugu Xiu didn't explain either. Could he have been used by Empress Cen as well
"I understand."
Dugu Cheng's expression was sincere. Dugu Yan walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Your Majesty has advised Empress Dowager, she meant nothing else, she just wanted to see if you are still as determined as before, hoping the fourth brother will understand that this military power is also a heartache for Empress Dowager."
"I understand, but I will not surrender military command."
Dugu Cheng looked at Dugu Yan, his eyes firm, "I am willing to assist the Emperor, but not with military power."
Without military power, he was like prey at the mercy of others. He, Xi'er, and his mother would all be in danger of losing their lives.
He was clear on that.
"I understand. I know you have been guarding the border for years, fighting on the battlefield, and protecting the Great Yuan Dynasty's territory. I know all this. Giving you military power, I am at ease. As for your mother, I will speak to her clearly. However, with the current situation, I believe my fourth brother is also aware of it."
As Dugu Yan spoke, her eyes were fixed on Dugu Cheng the whole time, wanting to see something unusual in his gaze, but she found nothing.
"As for matters in the capital, this subject knows little. I await Your Majesty's clarification."
獨孤雁 glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, the Emperor and the Fourth Prince have something to discuss. Please go see your mother first. She knows you're back today and has already sent someone to summon you. Go give her a greeting."
Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Dugu City's worried eyes. Her gaze was comforting, and then she went to Shou'an Palace.
She will have to face the Empress Dowager, sooner or later.
After months of absence, upon entering the palace again, the scenery of this Imperial Garden had changed. Many new faces among the maidservants were seen, and when she appeared, many of them looked at her with curious eyes.
"Xiao Li, be careful with your words and actions later. It's best not to speak."
Feng Lingxi reminded, “We might still meet the Empress later.”
"I understand."
Having followed the princess for so long, she had seen every kind of scene imaginable. She understood when to speak and when to remain silent.
Feng Lingxi took her through Yu Garden to Shou'an Palace. Along the way, she noticed many eyes staring at them, but Feng Lingxi didn't point it out. She just kept it in mind and walked towards Shou'an Palace.
She knew that soon, they would all know she had entered the palace, and soon they would find a way to invite her over for tea.
Shou'an Temple
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Royal Consort has returned."
When Grand Ma Zhang saw Feng Ling Xi enter, she hurriedly bowed and addressed the Empress Dowager resting on the soft bed. The Empress Dowager did not raise her eyelids, and squinted, "Fourth Princess Consort, you have arrived."
Feng Lingxi walked to the front of Empress Dowager Cen and bowed, "Subject greets Your Majesty."
"You really are back. Your voice has definitely matured."
Empress Cen opened her eyes, and Zhang Mamá stepped forward to help the empress sit up. Only then did Empress Cen turn her gaze to Feng Lingxi, looking at her slender body, her delicate face the size of a palm was slightly pale. Such Feng Lingxi made Empress Cen frown slightly.
"How did the Fourth Princess lose so much weight Is there no food in the Yao clan for you"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, your concubine has been busy with matters in Yaozu, quelling internal strife. During this time, I suffered a miscarriage, which has harmed my body."
"Did you have a miscarriage"
When Empress Cen heard this, her face changed drastically. She hurriedly stood up and looked at Feng Lingxi's abdomen. The anxious expression in her eyes made Feng Lingxi wonder if she truly believed that carrying a child in her womb would allow her to obtain the Yao Clan's treasure
This matter of the Yao clan's treasure, she would have to carefully consider before explaining it to Empress Cen.
Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "The elder of the rebel clan injured me, and unfortunately, the child is gone."
"Damn these traitorous scum, should they be dealt with severely"
"Your Majesty, I have dealt with him according to the clan rules."
Feng Lingxi calmly said, watching Empress Cen's anger rise. She bowed to Empress Cen and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am deeply honored."
"Don't tell me these things, I only care when you will have a child in your belly."
Feng Lingxi fell silent for a moment, "It's not possible for the time being. Even with a child in my belly, I wouldn't be safe. On the way to Yaozu, we were hunted all the way. If it weren't for the help of the Yaozu clan chief, I would have died on the road long ago. When I returned, it was the same."
Empress Dowager Cen's face darkened, "What happened Why didn't you send me a message back Do you know who is trying to harm you"
Some are from the Yao people, and some… I don't know about those.
Feng Ling Xi's words caused Cen Tai Hou to narrow her eyes, "Is it that you truly don't know, or are you unwilling to speak"
"Your Majesty, I truly do not know."
"Queen Mother Cen clenched her fist. 'It's probably that Feng Yu Xi causing trouble again,'"
Upon mentioning Feng Yu Xi, Feng Ling Xi became curious and asked, "Your Majesty, I have a question I'd like to ask you. I heard that my father is to be bestowed the title of Generalissimo of the Nation. Is this true"
"Where did you hear that Feng Aotiān has done nothing. What qualifications does he have to be the Grand General of the Nation This is all Feng Yuxi's idea. The Empress Dowager hasn't agreed."
Empress Cen's voice was filled with displeasure. "It was precisely because of this matter that I had a huge argument with her. This Feng Yu Xi really wants Feng Aotian to be the all-powerful National General, dominating everything! The land and mountains of our Great Yuan dynasty are not hers to command."
Feng Lingxi, hearing what Taishi Cen said, it seemed that Feng Yuxi and Taishi Cen were in a fierce struggle. If Feng Yuxi really let Feng Aotian become the Generalissimo of the Nation, Taishi Cen might not be able to stay in the harem any longer.
However, she was curious why this wind and rain evening's position had not been abolished yet.after all, he had lost his memory. Unless his memory could be awakened, otherwise, Feng Yixuan, who was modified by Tian Xiaomi, was almost the same. If he could be guided towards the right path, it w...
