Chapter 1312: Smoke and Fire Rise

o whatever she wants, and Mother supports you."Feng Lingxi rushed towards her mother and gave her a smile. "Thank you, Mother." If it weren't for her current status, she would really want to hug her m..."It's a bit of a hassle, but we'll go check it out."

Li Wuyan still answered Feng Lingxi's question, looking at her concern about this matter. As a fellow physician, Li Wuyan was quite satisfied with Feng Lingxi's point.

When did you go

Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan, "Do you need my help"

"What can you do for us Come and see for yourself. You are the Princess Consort of Chen, can you even leave safely Besides, you meddle in too many affairs. What assistance could this Xia Dynasty possibly need from you"

Li Wuyan's words were harsh, he hadn't forgotten what Huangfu Qingyun had done to Feng Lingxi in the past. It was already good that Feng Lingxi didn't hate him, this aid was out of fear that the people in the Ahxia dynasty wouldn't die fast enough.

Feng Lingxi looked solemn and said, "Ayan, although Huofeng Qingyun's amnesia did hurt Wan'er, the Huangxia Dynasty has been kind to me. Although I can't guarantee that I can help the Huangxia Dynasty much, at least I won't harm innocent people because of this."

"Even during the sweltering summer, there are still physicians in court. What does it have to do with you Just mind your own business. Don't say I didn't warn you. The imperial court already knows about your close dealings with the Lu family. The Lu family is not from the Great Yuan Dynasty. Shouldn't you know your own situation now"

Feng Lingxi looked puzzled, "How did I get so close to the Lu family"

"The Lu family is wealthy and generous. When they moved to Xilin County, they distributed tens of thousands of catties of rice alone on that day. Not to mention the gifts they brought to your Chenwang Mansion, you shouldn't say that you returned all those gifts to the Lu family!"

Feng Lingxi's face was very ugly. How could the news from Linxi County reach the capital Wasn't Dugucheng supposed to have sealed off all information from Linxi County How could there still be news leaking out This Linxi County, it seems, is not clean.

"Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with this."

Luoli drank a mouthful of wine, "You should know, this Emperor Yuan Zhao can keep you safe here, he wouldn't be without any defenses. You were too naive, always thinking that your comfortable stay here would make the court believe you had no intention of rebelling. Don't forget, Dugu Cheng holds the military power of 500,000 soldiers in his hands."

Feng Lingxi remained silent. What Luo Li said, she had also thought about. She just hadn't realized that even though they had been careful in Linxi County, the court would still bring it up. As long as Dugu Cheng didn't hand over his military power to the court, the charge of rebellion could be placed on them at any time.

They have all been here for a while now, yet the court still doesn't trust them, still thinks they will rebel

"Think about it carefully, don't always stare at me, I'm not worth your attention."

Luo Li glanced at Bai with a sigh, then poured herself another drink. She looked towards the dancing girls on the first floor, but found she had lost interest.

"Thank you, Chief, for letting me know. I won't disturb you further. Farewell."

Luo Li ignored Feng Lingxi and continued to enjoy the dance performance. On the other hand, Li Wu Yan looked at Feng Lingxi and said, "Be more careful."

Regarding Li Wuyan's attitude, Feng Lingxi didn't dare to say anything. This time, she really hadn't expected the court to know. She had to hurry back and ask Dugu City, to see if the situation was really the same as what Luoli said, so that she could be prepared.

Although Empress Shutai was in the palace, if she were to truly make an issue out of this matter, they would find it difficult to explain themselves and have people believe them.

"Your Highness, can we really trust what the chieftain said"

Xiao Li looked worried, "If that's really the case, shouldn't we remind the King, so he wouldn't be unaware"

"Luo Li wouldn't just make up something like this out of thin air. He doesn't want us to investigate Feng Yu Xi. There are many ways he could go about things, and he wouldn't use this method. Besides, what he said is also correct. This period of time, the Lu family came to me looking for a reconciliation. Although I didn't reconcile with them, the gifts they sent were too much of a commotion in Linxi County. It's normal that the court would take notice."

Feng Ling sighed, she really didn't expect to make such a mess.

Lu Nian saw Feng Lingxi come out, his face changed, and he looked at Feng Lingxi's complexion was not right. With a worried expression, he stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you Were you bullied by Luo Li and the others"

Seeing Lu Nian so nervous, Feng Lingxi really didn't want to blame him. However, all the problems she was facing now were brought to her by his Lu family.

Even without them, this issue would have eventually arisen, but it was the Lu family that expedited the process.

"Lu Nian, I have something I want to tell you."

Lu Nian nodded and hurriedly asked Feng Lingxi to go upstairs, ordering a table of dishes for her.

Lu Nian, do you know what Luo Li just told me

Lu Nian's smile froze, looking at Feng Lingxi's serious expression, "Is it related to me"

"Yes."

Lu Nian's expression changed, "Go on."

The imperial court knows that your Lu family settled in Linxi County and distributed tens of thousands of jin of rice out of kindness. This is a good deed, but they don't know about our affairs. Now the imperial court only knows that your Lu family are not from the Great Yuan Dynasty, and that the Lu family has sent gifts to the Prince Chen's Mansion, knowing that we have close dealings.

Feng Lingxi having said this, Lu Nian already knew what she meant.

It seems the Lu family dragged them into this.

"Sister, I'm so sorry. We did consider these things at the time, and we really gave as little as possible. We didn't expect it would still cause you trouble, but please rest assured, I'll help you solve this. Don't worry about it."

"What do you want to do Go find the Imperial Court and tell them I am the daughter of the Lu family, that they've come to claim me as their own"

"I won't let anyone bully you, you have to believe me."

Lu Nian's eyes were resolute. "No one can harm anyone from our Lu family."

Feng Lingxi's heart warmed at these words, but she didn't need the Lu family's protection. She held no resentment towards them for coming here; it was just that their arrival had once again brought the attention of the imperial court upon them.

"Actually, without you guys, it was only a matter of time before the court came after us. Even when we were in the capital, they had already targeted us once."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, "I just hope that you can leave Linxi County as soon as possible. The matters between the court and us don't need your involvement. We will make things clear with the court ourselves."

"Do you understand"

Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi, "Don't think I'm stupid. The 500,000 troops in your hands are a threat to the court. Sister, listen to your brother's advice, if you can't bear it anymore, there's really no need to endure any longer. If you want to, the Lu family will take over this court for you."

"Lu Nian, don't talk nonsense."

Feng Lingxi hissed in a low voice, "Are you trying to get us killed If someone else hears this, we'd be jumping into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it clean."

During such a sensitive period, he actually said something like that. Doesn't he have any brains

If they really wanted to rebel, they would have already done so.

Now that the Empress Dowager is in the palace, isn't the Emperor just trying to keep them down and make them stay here peacefullyress, this time my son will go to the Yao clan with Xier. We have soldiers and horses in Linxi County. If anything happens, my son can also help Xier.""Be careful on the road, things here in the capit...
