Chapter 399: Revenge 43

't work. Cutting your throat and suffocating yourself is quicker."Feng Lingxi's words made Liu shi’s tightly shut eyes dare not open, fearing that she would be forced to slit her throat.Feng Linglong...There are many things you don't know, and following the Princess, you will learn them all.

Then I really have to study hard with Fourth Sister.

Feng Yu Mo glanced outside, wondering how skilled his fourth sister was. Would she be even more powerful than him

Feng Lingxi returned to the capital after a trip, and everyone on the streets was talking about her clearing her name. They said that the court had wronged her and that although she was pardoned, she wasn't compensated. Some said Empress Cen was ruthless and even killed her own niece, while others said Feng Lingxi had killed the princess herself in order to reclaim her position as the Fourth Princess. In short, there were many different versions of the story.

Feng Ling Xi sat down in a tavern. Dressed in men's clothing, she had clear eyebrows and bright eyes. She had lost the coquettishness of a woman and gained a few more points of vigor.

Have you heard The Sixth Prince brought back a rebel, supposedly from the Yao Clan. With this, the court will soon rule over all heavens.

"In that case, wouldn't the Sixth Prince soon be replacing the Emperor's position"

Feng Lingxi heard the conversation from the next table and turned her head to look. The two people at the front table hurriedly lowered their heads, "Keep it down, be careful someone hears you and gets into trouble."

“If you ask me, the Prince of Four has the most qualifications to be emperor among all the princes of this Yuan Dynasty. He boasts impressive military achievements and treats his soldiers well. A prince like him is truly worthy of the throne.”

"You can't say that! If anyone heard, it would get the Fourth Prince killed. The Sixth Prince and the Emperor are both born to the Empress Dowager. Unless they all give up their positions, the Fourth Prince would never have a chance."

"Fourth Master is truly pitiful. He fought for half the country, but his Fourth Wife was wrongly accused and forced to marry the Princess Consort. Thankfully, that Princess Consort died; otherwise, Fourth Wife's life would have been even worse."

Feng Ling listened to their back-and-forth conversation, a glint of calculation flashing in her eyes.

Get up, walk to them, and scare them into closing their mouths.

What was just said, don't say it again in the future. The Fourth Prince is doing well now, and he won't take anything that doesn't belong to him.

After finishing his words, he left, dropping a silver coin on the table.

Those few people came to their senses and immediately whispered, "That person must be someone from the Fourth Prince's residence. We can't speak about this anymore, lest we implicate the Fourth Prince."

Feng Lingxi returned to the Prince's Mansion after dark. Feng Yumo was waiting for her in her courtyard. Seeing her return, he happily stepped forward, "Fourth Sister, you're finally back."

"Is something the matter"

Wind Feather Ink saw that she was fine, so he hurriedly said, "I'll only rest when you come back."

Feng Lingxi looked at the bashful smile on his face and said lightly, "I just went for a walk, nothing happened, you should go to sleep early."

Feng Yu Mo left in response. Feng Ling Xi beckoned to Xiao Li, "Now everyone in the city is talking about my pardon. The people say that Dugu City being emperor is stronger than the Sixth Prince and the Emperor. Go into the city, find some people, then like this..."

Feng Lingxi whispered instructions to Xiao Li, and when Xiao Li nodded, she returned to her room to rest.

Du Gu Cheng didn't return until very late, just like he always did. He left early the next morning again, only telling her to take care of herself and not worry about him.

After Feng Lingxi got up, she heard news from the palace. The empress was ill. It was said that she had offended the emperor with her words and been punished, catching a cold from the reprimand. The reason was still because of the wind and rain yesterday evening, the empress entrusted someone to ask Feng Lingxi to enter the palace, saying that she wanted to talk to her.

Feng Lingxi originally wanted to refuse, but Empress Cen summoned her, allowing her to enter the palace and meet her. Feng Lingxi tidied herself up and went to the palace alone.

Shou'an Palace

Feng Lingxi's appearance made the atmosphere in Shou'an Palace heavy. Empress Cen lay on her bed, Feng Yu Xi was massaging her shoulders, and Feng Linglong was also there. To her surprise, Yao Feifei was also there. Seeing her, Yao Feifei's expression was slightly panicked, and she didn't dare to look at her.

Feng Lingxi stepped forward to greet Empress Dowager Cen, and she heard Feng Yu Xi speak.

"Fourth Sister, today the Empress and my elder sister specially asked Grandmother to bring you here. There's something they want you and Sixth Princess Consort to discuss together. I heard that Sixth Princess Consort is from your maternal family. You take a look, are you acquainted with her"

"Imperial Concubine Xi, you need to apply more pressure. This isn't even a tickle."

Feng Yu Xi smiled and replied, "The Empress Dowager's lesson is something I will keep in mind."

Feng Lingxi watched them sing in unison, she said roundaboutly that Yu Xi had been too polite to her. Since Empress Cen arrived, she only glanced at her coldly and hadn't looked at her again. It seemed her plan wasn't going smoothly.

"Sixth Royal Wife"

Feng Lingxi smirked, her sharp gaze made Yao Feifei feel uneasy all over. She had heard that Feng Lingxi was difficult to deal with, and she had finally escaped, but now she found herself back in her clutches. Du Gu Xiu said he would be with her, but instead he sent her here. The noble concubine and empress dowager didn't like her here in the palace. Yao Feifei looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with helplessness and panic.

Si Mei still didn't know that she was the newly-wedded princess of the Sixth Prince.

Feng Linglong smiled faintly, "You are indeed quite beautiful. Most importantly, your mother's family is impressive."

"She certainly has some beauty, but compared to the two elder sisters, she is much inferior. Their faces are all smiles that entice and captivate."

Wind Lingxi's words fell, and Feng Linglong's smile instantly vanished. This Wind Lingxi really didn't give her any face. In front of the Empress Dowager, she dared to speak like this, it was truly annoying.

"Feng Lingxi, this Empress summoned you today to confirm the identity of this Sixth Princess. But is she truly one of your clan, as she claims"

"A Yao tribe traitor, was in the past, now he is not."

Feng Lingxi swept across Yao Feifei's pale face, "The damned one, according to the rules of my Yao clan, she is already dead. But now that she has become the wife of the Sixth Prince, I want to dispose of her, but I don't have the qualifications. It's better to let later generations decide."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi and Feng Lin Long, Cen Taihou had never been fond of the two of them. Now that they were both here, she must have used some means to gain Cen Taihou's favor otherwise she wouldn't treat them with such importance.

Cen Taizi looked up, meeting Yao Feifei's flustered gaze, "What do you think I should do with you"

Yao Feifei was so scared that she knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Your Majesty, spare my life. I swear everything I said was true."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "Everything I told the Empress Dowager is true, Yao Feifei. You wouldn't have forgotten the rules of our Yao clan, would you Any member who reveals secrets of the clan will die."

"Feng Lingxi, you can't kill me. If I hadn't told the Empress Dowager the truth, how could you have lived to this day Besides, didn't you also reveal the secrets of the Yao clan If I am to die, you should die even more."

Feng Lingxi sneered, looking at Yao Feifei's flustered eyes, her tone icy. "Yao Feifei, do I need to tell you who I am The current Saint Lord of the Yao Clan is me, and I am the clan rule."

"Feng Ling Xi, you can't kill me. If you do, the Sixth Prince won't let you go."

Feng Lingxi listened to her roar and rage, wiping his hands in disgust.

"You're overthinking it. It's not my turn to make a move yet, not in front of everyone." His eyes then landed on the Empress Dowager. "Empress Dowager, would you agree"you and wants to marry you. Would you be willing to marry him and join the ranks of the Fourth Prince"Xiao Li looked at the princess for a long time, but she didn't get to the point. She was getting a...
