Chapter 759: Prison 19

ood days ahead“Feng Lingxi, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you really shouldn't be so petty. Let Shen Yun come in, even if you fight, it's still a matter within your Si Wangfu. Now that she...She bowed three times to him as a way of repaying his kindness for giving her life. She wasn't Feng Ling Xi anyway, so with that, she bid farewell.

Feng Aotian looked at the imperial decree in his hand. He didn't expect that she would really go to the Empress Dowager and ask for this document that severed the parent-child relationship. Looking at Feng Lingxi, Feng Aotian realized that she was truly ruthless.

The grace of giving life, three nods, and that's it.

"Fourth Princess, please."

Feng Aotian extended his hand to invite her out. Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yu Xi beside him, then leaned into Feng Aotian's ear and whispered, "General Feng, Feng Yixuan is not dead."

As Feng Lingxi left, dragging Dugu Cheng away, Feng Aotian's body trembled. His head buzzed. What had she just said

Yi Xuan is not dead, but the Empress clearly told him that Yi Xuan was dead. This...this, how is this possible

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng walked out. Feng Lingxi turned to glance at the General's Mansion one last time. Dugu Cheng soothed, "Xier, are you reluctant"

"It's just that I find it unbelievable. Ever since I recovered, I was destined to be farther and farther away from General Fu. Feng Aotian treated me the same way too, never treating me as his own daughter. Now that our father-daughter relationship is severed, it would be a lie to say I'm not heartbroken."

It's a pity, after all. Throughout history, how many father-daughter pairs have been able to reach this point

"From now on, I only have you left."

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and looked at Dugu Cheng, "If you don't want me, I truly have nothing left to cling to."

Dugu Cheng embraced her in his arms, holding her tightly. He could feel the trace of loss in her heart.

To sever ties with her father is to sever ties with the entire General's Mansion.

"I am enough."

Feng Ling Xi rubbed against him in his arms, her eyes even becoming moist despite herself. Not wanting to let Du Gu Cheng see her like this, she spoke with a voice choked with emotion, "Du Gu Cheng, if there comes a day when you don't want me anymore, then I'll leave and never come back."

"This king won't let you leave."

Feng Ling Xi hugged him tightly, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm herself down. After a while, she let go of him.

"Let's go, I'm fine."

With a facade of strength, a faint smile played on her lips as she led Dugu Cheng towards her carriage.

"I'm going back to the palace, are you leaving the city"

Although she really wanted to go out with Duguo City, she knew she couldn't. She had to return to the palace. She couldn't put herself in danger, nor could she break her promise. She protected her, and she had to cooperate with her.

Duke Gucheng gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, "Stay well in the palace and avoid any trouble, Xi. I will find you once I've taken care of things here."

"Dangerous"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, her eyes full of worry as she thought about the wound on his arm.

"I'll just look into it. Your Highness can rest assured."

Feng Lingxi nodded, Dugu Cheng knew. He said there was no danger, Xi'er wouldn't believe it either. This time he was injured, Xi'er knew, all he could do was be even more careful.

"Then you be careful, tell Xiao Li not to worry about me, I have the Empress Dowager's people taking care of me in the palace."

Feng Lingxi entrusted a sentence, got on the carriage, and watched Dugu City leap onto his horse. Her eyes were full of reluctance. "Dugu City, be careful."

"I am leaving, return to the palace quickly."

Feng Lingxi's carriage drove away, and Dugu City rode his horse to leave.

The carriage hadn't gone far when it was stopped. Feng Lingxi heard Xiao Li's voice from outside the carriage, "Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Xiao Li, who was clutching her luggage and gazing at her with hope. She turned to the coachman and said, "This is my personal maid. Allow me to speak with her for a few words."

Xiao Li hurriedly got into the carriage, looking at Feng Ling Xi who was fine, her eyes pleadingly said, "Your Highness, can this servant go back to the palace with you If they don't allow this servant to enter the palace, this servant will come back on their own. You and the Empress Dowager say a word, and the Empress Dowager will agree."

“Was it Luo Li who made you follow me”

"I'm your handmaiden, and I must stay by the princess's side. Otherwise, my life would have no meaning."

Feng Lingxi nodded, pondered for a moment before saying, "Then you have to listen to me. You can't talk nonsense in the palace. This time entering the palace, we might even have to be imprisoned together."

Feng Linglong's situation has become what it is now, and no one can say for sure. How Feng Yu Xi will torment her, I'm afraid she won't have an easy time of it.

As long as I follow the princess, I'm not afraid of anything.

Xiaoli's words widened Feng Lingxi's smile, a smile that was both doting and helpless. "You silly girl, isn't it good out here Why do you have to come with me to suffer"

"I don't mind hardship, as long as I can stay by the princess's side."

Feng Lingxi patted her head, "Let's go then."

"Fourth Princess, the Empress has sent a message, saying that she wants to bestow an imperial decree granting the title of Grand General of National Defense. She also said it was to appease General Feng."

"You're back, so tell me, how should we handle this You know that once the imperial decree for the Grand Marshal of the Nation is issued, the military power will fall into Feng Aotian's hands."

"Nature cannot be granted a title."

Feng Lingxi's expression remained calm. "Empress Dowager, today I have returned to the General's Mansion and severed ties with Feng Aotiān. Judging by Feng Yuxi's attitude, even if Feng Linglong's matter had nothing to do with me, she still wanted me to take the blame. Now, she has brought up this matter of bestowing the title of Grand Marshal on me to you, clearly wanting you to issue an imperial decree."

Looking back now, Feng Linglong's death was probably a move made by Feng Yu Xi to obtain the imperial decree appointing her as the General who Protects the Nation. Perhaps even Feng Ao Tian himself didn't realize he had been manipulated by Feng Yu Xi.

"The Empress and I also thought of this possibility, but we didn't expect that Feng Yu Xi would make the Empress Dowager and me issue the decree so quickly. She's going to take control of the military."

Once military power is in hand, the Emperor and the court will find themselves in a more difficult situation.

Feng Lingxi earnestly said, Empress Dowager Cen being able to open her heart and tell her these things also truly wanted to form an alliance with her. She naturally wouldn't target Empress Dowager Cen now, Yu Xi attacking her, not eliminating her, would be courting death.

She and Dugu Cheng might not be Feng Yuxi's opponents, but with Dugu Yan and Cen Taishi's help, Feng Yuxi could definitely be eliminated. What was unexpected was that Feng Yuxi actually had such abilities in just a year.

Who is the mastermind behind this, and why would they make her so determined to attack Dugu Yan, risking their own life

"I understand, please tell me, how can I refuse this imperial decree The edict will arrive soon after she returns."

Feng Lingxi seriously thought for a moment, then bowed to Empress Cen and said, "Empress Dowager, I have an idea."o find Wan'er myself. Do whatever you want to punish me."Ye Xi hurriedly knelt down, her eyes full of remorse."Your Highness, if you must blame someone, blame me. It is my incompetence that allowed Mi...
