Chapter 189: Palace Change 33
red their plight, not only failing to provide relief but also continuing to collect taxes relentlessly. The people were suffering greatly. The government changed its methods of tax collection, even s..."Why is the Windside Concubine so eager to find Master to perform a ceremony Isn't she afraid After all, it was you who killed her."
Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's side, meeting Feng Linglong's panicked expression. The coldness in his eyes intensified. This was the time, where was Feng Aotien With such a big display, if Feng Aotien didn't come, he would have nothing to say.
"Fourth Wang is truly jesting. Sixth Royal Consort committed suicide by poison, my blade merely eased her suffering from the poison's effects."
Feng Linglong forced herself to remain calm. This Dugu Cheng suddenly pestered her, repeatedly claiming that she killed Lingyu. Although she had done it, the way he said it was eerie and unsettling. The couple's synchronized act of accusing her felt intentional.
"Turns out, it was this King who misunderstood. It seems that Consort Feng did all of this for Yu'er's sake."
Feng Linglong's face was about to fall. She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said to the Crown Princess, "Crown Princess, it's getting late, we should go back."
"You go first. This palace wants to stay here with the Fourth Princess for a while. She's lost her sister, and she's heartbroken."
Feng Linglong saw that she was unwilling to leave. Thinking to herself, if she left and something happened, Feng Lingxi might gossip in front of the Crown Princess and tell the Empress, then she would be in trouble.
"Then this servant will wait for the Crown Princess to return together."
The Crown Princess looked at her flustered expression and said calmly, "No need, this palace doesn't need you to accompany me. You can go back to the palace first."
But...
"Fourth Lord, General Feng has arrived."
Ye Xi stepped forward to report. Feng Linglong heard that her father had arrived, and her expression changed slightly. How did he know Could it be that Feng Lingxi informed him Didn't she cut off relations with her father
Feng Aotien walked in and saw the scene inside. His eyes turned red, and he quickly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the spirit tablet. Dugu Cheng walked over and bowed to him, "Father-in-law has arrived."
At the sound of "Grandfather," Feng Aotian's heart ached as Dugu Cheng called out. Looking at the coffin placed in the spirit hall, he trembled and asked, "Subject has seen Fourth Prince."
Both the Crown Princess and the Consort of Wind came to visit Consort Jade.
This sentence made Yu Side Concubine's eyes well up with tears. The entire capital was talking about this, saying that Feng Lingxi had wanted to bring Feng Lingyu back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion for a grand funeral, so Dugu Cheng bestowed upon Feng Lingyu the title of side concubine, so she could have a dignified burial.
Such actions led to a variety of rumors circulating among the people of the capital. After all, royal affairs are not something to be easily discussed.
Feng Aotiān was overjoyed to learn that Feng Língyù wasn't dead, but before he could savor the good news, he was struck by the news of her death and fainted. When he recovered, he hurried over, eager to see his daughter one last time.
"I, Feng Aotiān, have met the Crown Princess and the Lady of Wind's Side."
Feng Linglong saw her father bowing to her, her face flushed slightly. She stepped forward and helped him up, "Father…"
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Aotian slapped her hard across the face, sending her reeling. Feng Aotian burst into tears, pointing at Feng Linglong with tears streaming down his face, "Linglong, even if Lingyu is not innocent, she's your own younger sister! How could you be so cruel She has already taken poison, why did you still stab her You are her elder sister!"
Feng Aotiān's rebuke made Feng Línglóng's eyes turn cold. She didn't expect her father to slap her in the face in front of so many people, not caring about her status at all, and there was no trace of her as his daughter in his eyes.
She was still thinking about making it up to him when she became the Crown Princess, but it seemed unnecessary now.
"Tell me, why did you kill Lingyu"
Feng Linglong walked before him, her eyes cold.
“Father, do not forget what Lingyu did at the birthday banquet. If I don’t kill her, the entire General’s Mansion will be buried with her. I don't want to kill her, but what can I do Am I just going to watch the General’s Mansion be buried with her”
Feng Aotien looked at the coldness in her eyes, anger rising in his hand, but he let it down under the gaze of her cold and sharp eyes.
“You're afraid of being implicated by her, but what about Xi'er Even though Lingyu treated her like that before, it was Xi'er who helped her when Lingyu was at her most difficult. At the birthday banquet, and now as well. As her elder sister, what have you done You only know how to stab her in the back.”
Feng Aotien roared, his whole body trembling with anger.
"Father now blames me, but who allowed Lingyu to become like this in the first place If you had allowed Lingyu to be registered under the Zhang family name back then, with her status as a legitimate daughter, she wouldn't have been so impulsive."
"The identity of the legitimate daughter"
Feng Lingxi scoffed when she heard her mention this legitimate daughter, "Do you still dream of being a legitimate daughter after all this time Look in the mirror, woman with a viper's heart, what qualifications do you have to bear my mother's name"
"Wind Ling, I haven't spoken to you, just shut up."
"Just you What makes you think you have the right to tell me to shut up"
Feng Ling Xi took step by step closer, looking at Feng Ling Long's face, just looking made her feel sick. Even her own sister was like this, she couldn't even say anything about it. She wouldn't let her off.
"Just because I am the Crown Prince's consort, I have the Crown Prince's child in my womb."
Feng Linglong coldly shouted, Feng Lingxi looking at her bulging belly, a face of disbelief.
"You, you're pregnant"
The Crown Princess walked in front of Feng Linglong, looking at her cold eyes, she couldn't believe what she said, how could she have the prince's flesh and blood.
"Can you joke about this"
Feng Lingxi grabbed her hand to feel her pulse. Feng Linglong saw this and forcefully pulled away her hand, glaring at her, "Feng Lingxi, you're so bold! You know I'm pregnant and yet you dare to touch me."
"Come here, hold the Feng Side Concubine down for me."
獨孤城 suddenly spoke, and Ye Xi brought people forward, pressing Feng Linglong down. Feng Linglong struggled, and Du Gucheng swiftly raised a sword to her neck, his eyes coldly scanning her face, "Silence."
"Fourth Lord, what are you doing"
Feng Linglong's eyes were panicked as she looked at Du Gu Cheng's sword pressed against her neck. Could he really want to kill her
"Fourth King, you can't kill me..."
Be quiet and let Xi'er take your pulse properly.
As soon as Feng Linglong moved, the sword resting on her neck edged closer, giving her absolutely no chance to threaten.
"Since Concubine Feng said she's pregnant, let the Fourth Princess check her pulse. This palace wants to see for myself if it's true or not."
Feng Ling Xi grabbed Feng Ling Long's wrist and began to seriously check her pulse. Feng Ling Long looked flustered, watching them all stand on Feng Ling Xi's side, she was a little lost.
After feeling Feng Linglong's pulse, Feng Lingxi gave her a cold look. "Consort Feng," she said icily, "there is no child in your womb yet. It seems you need to try harder."
"
Bastard.
"
Only then did Dugu Cheng sheathe his sword. The Crown Princess walked over and slapped Feng Linglong across the face, drawing a thin line of blood from the corner of her mouth.gxi took it, opened it, and looked at Dugu Cheng's strong and powerful handwriting, the smile on her lips gradually widening."Your Highness, what did the King say"Xiao Li hurried to ask, curiously lea...
