Chapter 389: Revenge 33
own, one by one, none of them could escape.“You've ruined our carefully laid plans, Xier! Now, if we can’t clear your name according to what you want, how am I supposed to explain this to the Emperor...The empress dowager's face darkened further, her whole body trembling with anger at Feng Lingxi's words. She gripped the Zi Xing tightly in her hand, her force so great that she could crush it to pieces.
Feng Ling Xi's smile widened at the corner of her lips. She truly enjoyed seeing her like this, filled with hatred yet powerless to do anything about it.
"I didn't expect you to have such thoughts. This palace underestimated you."
Feng Lingxi clasped his hands and sneered, "Your Majesty is too kind. I learned these from you."
"I will not help you kill Princess YaoHua. If you truly want to kill her, go ahead and do it. I will not interfere. This is the only thing I can do. If this is not satisfactory to you, there's nothing more I can do."
The Violet Star is now in my possession. No matter how powerful Feng Lingxi is, she will still have weaknesses.
For example, Dugu City. The person she cares about is her weakness.
The coldness in Cen Taishi's eyes made Feng Lingxi smile, "With Empress Dowager's words, I feel at ease. I thank the Empress Dowager for saving Princess Yao Hua."
"What do you mean by that"
Then Empress Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, and just as she was puzzled, a eunuch rushed in with an anxious expression. "Your Majesty, Princess Yao Hua suddenly collapsed and died from the poison."
"What!"
Empress Cen looked shocked, staring at Feng Lingxi beside her. "Was it you who did this"
"Empress Dowager, when Princess Yaohua was poisoned, she said it was you who poisoned her. Crown Prince Huafu took Princess Yaohua's body and has already left the capital. The 300,000 army of the Aoxia Dynasty is also on its way to the capital."
"Windling, this is all your doing."
She said her poison arts could kill invisibly. This must be her scheme, deliberately provoking a war between the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Arah Summer Dynasty.
Feng Lingxi shrugged her shoulders, looking innocent.
"I don't understand what the Empress Dowager is saying. Princess Yaohua said it was you who poisoned her, what does this have to do with me"
"How could this Empress possibly poison Yao Hua This Empress treats her like her own biological daughter."
Feng Lingxi, hearing her indignant words, couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, my father treated me like his own daughter. Yet, there are still those who say I poisoned him. Yaohua claims that you poisoned her, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. Do you feel wronged"
“Feng Ling Xi, this is all your doing, you want me to take the blame, make Aohua and Dayuan start a war. You’re so cruel! Don't forget, you are also from the Dayuan Dynasty. This empire belongs to the Du Gu family, and you, as the Fourth Princess of Du Gu Cheng, should know your place.”
Feng Lingxi heard this and smiled even colder.
"The Empress Dowager isn't forgetting, is she Yesterday, it was Princess Yaohua who married Duke Dugu, making her the Fourth Royal Consort. As for me, Feng Lingxi, although I haven't been deposed, I've also lost the title of Fourth Royal Consort." Looking at the situation under her control, Feng Lingxi's eyes grew colder.
"Don't forget, it was you who framed me for poisoning the Emperor. I'm merely returning your own deceit." Feng Lingxi threw a sentence, her cold gaze sweeping over Tai Hou's angry expression, and reminded her, "There's one more thing I haven't told you, I am not from the Great Yuan Dynasty. I am Yaozu, not a subject of any nation. Where the Yaozu heart desires, that land belongs to them."
Empress Dowager Cen was so enraged by her words that she clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Liu Ma rushed forward to support Empress Dowager Cen, "Empress Dowager!"
Empress Cen pointed at Feng Lingxi, her body trembling with rage.
"Feng Ling Xi, I underestimated you."
You've already said that.
Feng Lingxi gave her a glance and said, "Zi Xing, just take it. You've already done the first thing for me. I'd like to thank the Empress Dowager here. We can discuss the rest when she recovers."
When Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she was about to leave. The people in the hall hurriedly stopped her, but Empress Cen spoke up, "Let her go."
What she needed to do now wasn't to keep Feng Lingxi, but to summon a doctor to examine her, to see if she had been poisoned.
If she were poisoned, what would be the point of her even obtaining the Zi Xing and the Yao Clan's treasures
Feng Lingxi left Shou'an Palace and went to Shu Taifei's bedroom. When Shu Taifei saw Feng Lingxi, her face was full of worry, "Xier, are you alright"
"Mother, Xi'er is fine. Let's leave the palace."
Shu Taifei glanced at the eunuch and maidservants guarding outside, her eyes full of worry.
"Mother, rest assured, they won't stop us."
"Wait for your mother for a moment, I'll get something and we'll leave."
Shutai entered the inner hall and soon came out with a box. Feng Lingxi accompanied Shutai as they left the palace. As soon as they reached Yu Garden, they saw Dugu Yan and the Empress coming over together, heading towards Shou'an Palace. Seeing Feng Lingxi, she reprimanded harshly, "Feng Lingxi, where are you taking Shutai"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan's cold eyes, her smile widening at the corner of her lips, "Out of the palace, your Majesty is going to visit the Empress Dowager"
"Feng Ling Xi, what have you done to your mother"
Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this question from Dugu Yan, couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
"Your Majesty, I'd kindly advise you to be careful when visiting the Empress Dowager. Don't blame me for not warning you. If anything were to happen to the Empress Dowager, you wouldn't fare well."
Dugu Yan's face changed slightly, what did Feng Lingxi mean by that
"Did you poison your mother"
Feng Lingxi gave him a withering glance. “Something like poisoning wouldn’t be worth her while, but you might want to take note of what happened when your father passed away. If something were to happen, someone would have to take the blame, wouldn't they”
After saying this, Feng Lingxi pulled Empress Shu away. The Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what does Feng Lingxi mean by that Should we keep her"
"Let her go."
Du Gu Yan retracted her expression and said to the Empress, "You go see the Dowager Empress, I still have important matters to attend to."
The Empress didn't understand why Dugu Yan suddenly changed his mind. Looking in the direction he left, she saw that it was different from Feng Lingxi's. She didn't want to think too much about it.
"Convey my imperial decree, and have the Sixth Prince enter the palace immediately to see me." Dugu Yan issued the order, quickening his pace toward the Imperial Study. Feng Ling Xi's words had just reminded him, this Empress Dowager coughed up blood, if he were the first to arrive, if something happened to the Empress Dowager, he might become the second Feng Ling Xi.
We don't know what Feng Lingxi said to her mother that made her so angry.
Feng Lingxi and Shu Taifei left the palace, sitting in a carriage. Feng Lingxi had a relaxed expression and was in high spirits.
"Xier, what did you just say to the Emperor Mother concubine didn't understand."
Shu Taifei frowned, looking at Feng Lingxi's serene expression. She was able to make the Empress Dowager so angry she would spit blood, that was quite a skill.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that Dugu Yan is now suspicious by nature. My words just now made him overthink and worry about causing trouble. The Empress Dowager was furious, and he doesn't want to get involved in any messy affairs. He definitely won't see the Empress Dowager later and will be keeping an eye on Dugu Xiu instead.”
"Dugu Xiu"
Shu Taifei didn't quite understand Feng Lingxi's words. Looking at her air of strategic planning, she seemed very much like Cheng'er. space for an entire morning."If Xi'er couldn't come down the mountain, I would still want to go look for her."Dugu Cheng hasn't given up on finding the Yao clan these two days, but he has no leads at...
