Chapter 801: Prison Life (61)

ur Majesty, you…""Be obedient."Feng Lingxi spoke, Xiao Li was very unwilling to go back. Feng Lingxi hurriedly plunged into the night, groping towards Feng Lingyu's courtyard, climbed over the wall, a...At this point, Shu Taifei had made her point. Feng Lingxi already understood the situation. It seemed that to survive in this palace, one had to either possess absolute power or simply endure everything silently.

After the death of Su Wang's mother concubine, Su Wang completely fell into despair. He became a different person, hiding in Su王府 and unwilling to go out or see anyone. After a long time, everyone was about to forget him.

Feng Lingxi sighed and said, “Su Wang is like this, he's actually just protecting himself, isn't he”

Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi, “Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn’t. Only he himself knows what he thinks.”

"Has Dugu City not gone to see him"

Of course, he had been there, but he ignored Cheng'er. He either beat him or scolded him upon his arrival. Later on, he became indifferent and would just sit in his wheelchair in some corner of Su Wangfu all day long.

Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi, “After that, Cheng’er went out on campaign too, and communication afterward became difficult.”

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, she probably understood. Dugu Cheng did still care about King Su, but what good was it Being born into the imperial family meant there was no trust between brothers and sisters.

"The city won't tell you, he doesn't know how to say it either. After all, back then, he went to your father many times for this matter and cried for a long time, but there was no result. There's some guilt and self-blame in his heart, feeling that he couldn't help the King of Su."

"I hope this bond of brotherhood hasn't been corrupted." Feng Lingxi looked at Shu Taifei, saying no more.

If the mastermind behind the storm after sunset is truly related to this King Su, then this person's schemes and hidden intentions are incredibly dark and frightening. Although everything can be understood, harming innocent people is something I don't know how to evaluate.

獨孤城 didn't return until very late. Seeing Feng Lingxi hadn't rested yet, he walked over to her side and kneaded her shoulders. His handsome face was full of fatigue.

"What time are we leaving tomorrow"

Feng Lingxi turned around and stood up, pouring a glass of water for Dugu City and handing it to him. Dugu City looked at the pile of things on the table, and his heart warmed.

"Have breakfast and then leave."

Feng Lingxi nodded, “If there’s anything you need me to do, just say it. With this parting, we may not see each other for several months.”

Dugu City pulled her down to sit, his eyes gazing gently at Feng Lingxi's palm-sized little face, "This king only wants you to take good care of yourself and recover well. Don't worry this king."

"You said you would do it, and you promised me, so you have to do it."

Dugu Cheng lightly replied, "Go to sleep early and don't stay up late."

Wind Lingxi responded softly, watching the exhaustion on Dugu City's face, she didn't want to disturb his sleep.

This night, was still lingering and tender. Even though Feng Lingxi wanted him to sleep early, Dugu Cheng still took her several times before letting her go. When Feng Lingxi woke up, Dugu Cheng had already left, leaving a letter for her.

Feng Ling Xi only learned the truth from Xiao Li. Du Gu Cheng was afraid she would not bear to see him leave and would follow him, so the army left an hour earlier than planned. Feng Ling Xi opened the letter and saw a long love letter from Du Gu Cheng. A smile appeared on her face as she put the letter away, her eyes filled with happiness.

Waiting is a fascinating word. Dugu Cheng asked her to stay in the capital city and wait for him. She knew it would be difficult, but thinking of Dugu Cheng's sincerity, Feng Lingxi found confidence.

After Dugu Cheng left, Feng Lingxi began to busy herself with her own affairs, starting to do what the Saint Master of the Yao Clan should do. She used the Yao Clan's network of contacts to gather all the information in the world.

Shu Taifei would supervise Feng Lingxi's diet and daily routines every day. Seeing Feng Lingxi's complexion getting rosy day by day, she was very satisfied.

獨孤城出征已半個月，宮裡外都太平無事，風淩兮幾次去壽安宮給岑太後請安，風雨夕自那日之後，便老實了許多，雖然偶爾會碰麵，但也冇有爭執，各自離開。

"Fourth Princess Consort, the Lan Fei Empress requests your presence at the palace."

Since Lan Fei's pregnancy, the entire harem has taken care of her diet and daily life with even more care than the Empress Dowager. This was also the first time Feng Lingxi was summoned after Lan Fei's pregnancy.

The Empress Dowager warned her that after Lan Fei became pregnant, King Pingbei's influence in the court grew rapidly. After Luo Junzhu married far away to the frontier, Kings Pingnan and Pingbei stayed in the capital ever since.

The court was more inclined to support Prince Pingbei than Prince Pingsou because Empress Lan was pregnant. Many officials had switched their allegiance to Prince Pingbei, believing that the prince in the womb would be the next crown prince.

The Empress remains childless, and the other concubines show no signs of pregnancy. If Lan Fei manages to give birth to a prince, then this entire harem will belong to her.

The imperial court's shifting tides, Feng Lingxi saw it all. In the past, noblewomen and wives of officials would often visit Sifang Wangfu, sometimes even seeking her medical advice. However, these visits were all intercepted by Shutai Fei.

These people, on the surface all came to visit, but each one had ulterior motives. Shutai refused to let Xier be involved, so she stopped them all. Feng Lingxi knew about this and tacitly agreed.

Feng Lingxi had to go, no matter what, when Lan Fei summoned her. Aside from anything else, Lan Fei had once saved her life, and Feng Lingxi owed her a debt of gratitude.

"Xier, Lanfei came to see you this time. If she asks you to feel her pulse, remember to be cautious with your words and actions. Speak less and do more."

The Empress Dowager reminded her, "Nowadays everyone in court has their eyes on Miss Xi'er and Lan Fei. They all know of the close relationship between Miss Xi'er and Lan Fei. Now that Lan Fei is pregnant, if something were to happen... the consequences wouldn't be something easily explained.

Wind Ling Xi responded with a smile, she changed into a new outfit and entered the palace.

However, after only half a month, the scene inside the palace had changed. It was spring, with flowers in bloom, and the imperial garden was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

After Feng Ling entered the palace, she sent someone to inform Empress Cen that she would visit her shortly to pay respects and offer a new massage technique she had learned, which could relieve her headache.

Feng Lingxi did this to let Empress Cen know that she had come to the palace to see Lanfei. Now, her every move was being watched. Since outsiders thought she was the Empress's person, she should lean on this big tree so as not to be harmed.

Inside Zhaoyang Palace

Mò Huái Lán and Dú Gū Yàn didn't know what they were talking about. Lán Fēi smiled, her face flushed with shyness, reaching out to touch her abdomen. Dú Gū Yàn looked at Mò Huái Lán with gentle eyes, protecting her like a precious treasure.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Lan, and the Fourth Princess have arrived."

After receiving the summons, Feng Lingxi walked into Zhaoyang Palace. Mo Huilan saw Feng Lingxi arrive and hurriedly smiled, "The Fourth Princess has arrived, this palace and the Emperor were just talking about you."

After Feng Lingxi bowed to them, she kept a certain distance from Mo Huilan.

"Fourth Princess Consort, it was I who instructed Lan Fei to invite you into the palace. Lan Fei said that the palace is boring and she wants someone to talk to, so I thought of sending you here."s just croton.""Your Highness, is it a type of laxative that could kill horses and camels after eating"Upon seeing the Queen's nod, Ye Xi hurriedly said to Dugu City, "Your Highness, this method is no...
