Chapter 365: Revenge 9

Doesn't Empress Dowager think something is strange about this""Come now, tell me, where's the oddity"Feng Lingxi, upon being asked this way by the Empress Dowager, somewhat regretted having spoken.Em...Feng Lingxi quickly hid behind the screen, and Yao Wan'ying saw Zhao shi walk in. Seeing Yao Wan'ying alone in the room, Zhao shi's eyes swept over the room. The smile on her face remained unchanged as she walked towards Yao Wan'ying.

"Sister, I just heard someone say there was a figure here, so I came to take a look. Are you alright"

As she spoke, Zhao’s eyes continued to scan the room. Since the general had brought her back, seeing her face so similar to the former madam’s, Zhao realized that the general’s heart had always belonged to the former madam.

Yao Wan'ying pulled her hand, smiling in a way that made Zhao shiver. She truly couldn't face this face, so identical to the former mistress. If it weren't for the General saying she wasn't Feng Lingxi's mother, she would have really thought this woman was the former mistress.

"Sister, where did you see that figure Could it be because this room was once inhabited by Feng Lingxi's mother Perhaps she returned to have a look, and that's why your sister saw her"

Zhao suddenly retracted her hand, her expression flustered.

"Sis, don't talk nonsense. There's no way this could happen. They must have been mistaken. Since everything's fine, I'm going to leave now."

Watching Zhao Shi flee, Yao Wan Ying's eyes grew colder.

"Mother, this Zhao shi seems to be very afraid of you"

"Guilty conscience fears nothing, doesn't it"

Yao Wanying withdrew her gaze, "Let's not worry about her for now. Focus on taking care of your own business first."

Feng Ling Xi responded in agreement, this Zhao family, sooner or later will be dealt with. The position of the General's wife, even if mother doesn't want it, she, a woman with such a vicious heart, wouldn't deserve it.

Yao Wan'ying, dressed as Feng Lingxi's maid, arrived at the Fourth Prince's Mansion and was immediately ushered in to see Du Gu Cheng.

Feng Aotien is after all Feng Lingxi's father, so it makes sense for Dugu Cheng to give Feng Aotien face and introduce Yao Wanying to him.

"Lord."

Dugu City greeted Yao Wan Ying, motioning for her to sit down. He didn't even glance at the maidservant beside her who was bowing her head.

"Have you heard that Lord Si Wangye is going to marry Princess Yao Hua"

Yaowan Ying held her teacup, taking a delicate sip. Dugucheng heard Princess Yaohua's words and his handsome brows furrowed slightly. "Is your Majesty implying that I shouldn't have married so quickly"

"Was it the Empress Dowager's order or the Emperor's will that prompted the Prince to prepare for his wedding"

"The Emperor issued an edict, but the Empress Dowager remained silent. Could he issue an edict if she did not speak"

Dugu Cheng frowned, "This King just wants to clear Xi'er's name quickly, and marry Princess Yao Hua. Xi'er's charges have been cleared, now we only need her to be in the palace. If everything goes according to her plan, we will surely win."

"Xier doesn't know that you want to marry her, are you not afraid of interfering with her plans Xier blames you"

Yao Wan'ying glanced at Feng Lingxi beside her. This girl was indeed composed.

Dugu Cheng stood up, “This matter this king has thought about, but the emperor’s decree, this king can not help but deal with it. Now I can only find a chance to say a word to Xi'er, but this king can not find Xi'er in the palace, for fear of causing speculation. My mother is supervised by the empress dowager, this king wants to say a few words of concern to her are difficult. I wonder if my mother-in-law has a way to inform Xi'er”

"I came here to discuss this matter with you, but how to proceed, you and Xi'er should talk it over yourselves."

"What do you mean by that, Mother"

獨孤城被姚婉瑩的話弄得糊塗了，“兮兒在宮裡，本王……” Translated:Du Gucheng was confused by Yao Wan Ying's words, "Xi'er is in the palace, this king..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Feng Lingxi lowering her head and secretly smiling from the side. He was delighted to step forward and grab her arms, "Xier, how is it you"

Feng Lingxi was originally quite happy, but hearing him say this, she became unhappy.

"Well, don't you want to see me"

"Dugu Cheng was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He grabbed her hand and quickly said, "How is this possible It's such a surprise! I didn't expect you to come find me."

"I won't come to you, will you come to me"

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look, fixing her gaze on the excitement etched on his face. "Enough of that," she said, her tone firm. "Let's get down to business."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly pulled her down and sat, offering her tea. He'd missed Xi'er these past few days, but with his mother-in-law present, he couldn't be too obvious about it.

"Xier, you have a chat with the Fourth Prince. Mother has something to tell Xiaoli."

Seeing this, Yao Wan'ying found an excuse to take Xiao Li out.

Feng Lingxi immediately saw Dugu Cheng rushing over and hugging her, his grip so strong that he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Xier, I miss you."

Wind Ling was held by him, inhaling his scent, her eyes closed.

"Dugu Cheng, I miss you too."

Dugu City hugged her tighter, greedily inhaling the scent of her body, “I really want to keep you, I don't want to be separated.”

"Aren't we getting married in a few days Then we can be together again."

Feng Lingxi pushed open the door of Dugu City, and rushed towards him with a brilliant smile.

"Otherwise, we might just agree to the marriage as they wish, and then reveal my identity in public when the time is right"

Dugu Cheng gently tapped her nose, "Are you sure doing this won't make her angry"

Feng Lingxi hugged his waist, a wicked smile on her face, “What Aren't you willing to let go”

"Mischievous."

Dugu City embraced her again, "Whatever Xi'er says, this King will listen to you."

Then it's settled.

When she gets back, I'll check the poison of the Empress Dowager. As long as the Empress Dowager's life is in my hands, even if she knows that I am Feng Lingxi, what can she do Could it be that at this time, the Empress Dowager could still wage war against Emperor Xia Chao

After all, the troops they brought this time were enough to capture the capital. If we're going to do this, we need to be ruthless.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng held each other tenderly for a while, reluctantly letting go. Dugu Cheng reached out to brush the hair beside her ear, softly reminding her, "These days in the palace, remember to be careful. As for your mother concubine's side, don't expose yourself and let the Empress Dowager see through you."

"I know, just stop talking."

Dugu Cheng saw that she looked down on him for being talkative, and unhappily pinched her nose, "Your Highness is so worried about you, but you look down on Your Highness."

Wind Ling Xi quickly kissed on Dugu City's lips, looking at Dugu City's unhappy eyes, she smiled and said, "It's not that I dislike you being talkative, it's that you are really being too talkative."

"Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng wore a helpless expression, looking at the smile on her face. He knew Xi'er was joking with him. How could he possibly blame her He just felt that after becoming Princess Yao Hua, her personality had become even more unpredictable. Sometimes he didn't know which side of Xi'er was the real her.

"Dugu City, I'm hungry. I'll have lunch here and rest for a while before returning to the palace."

She wanted to stay with him here for a while longer. These past few days apart, she realized that she had grown accustomed to having him in her life. She also knew that Dugu City had become an indispensable part of her life.

"Someone will get you something to eat in a bit."

He did want to keep her for the night, but he didn't dare risk it. After all, they were getting married soon, so he could just bear with it.

Yao Wanying took Xiaoli out. Ye Xi saw this and pushed people aside, allowing them to speak safely.

"Little Li, how is the Empress Dowager doing Is Xi'er truly as safe in the palace as she claims"correct. In the beginning, she disliked the scheming and intrigue in the Imperial Harem, which is why she moved out to live with this King outside the palace. If she compromises this time, wouldn't a...
