ear, Xiaoli handed the pills prepared by the princess to Dugu Xiu. Seeing him leave, Xiaoli finally asked..."My Queen, why didn't the Sixth Prince speak to you directly about these poisons He came to...Looking at the festive red robes on Dugu City, Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a piercing pain in her eyes.
Today is the wedding day of Princess Yao Hua and the Fourth Prince, I am Feng Ling Xi.
Dugu Cheng walked up to her, took her hands, and looking at the displeasure on her face, smiled and said, “Princess Yao Hua and Feng Ling Xi are both you, aren’t you jealous of yourself”
"So, are you going to marry Princess YaoHua or Feng LingXi"
獨孤城看著她這酸溜溜的模樣，笑著更燦爛了。
"I want it all, anyway, it's all yours in the end."
Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, "If you have to choose one"
"Xi'er, back then when your father bestowed you upon me in marriage, we never had a proper wedding ceremony. This time's ceremony makes up for the regret I felt back then. Today, whether you are Yao Hua or Feng Ling Xi, you are my only queen for this lifetime. I just want to have a wedding with you and make up for everything we missed."
Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi's sourness disappear. Seeing her like this, Dugu Cheng ordered, "Xiaoli, go get some food for the princess."
Xiaoli responded and went out, looking at the loving couple of the king and his wife. Her face couldn't help but smile.
"What happened in the palace today Why didn't you speak during the wedding ceremony If it weren't for Xiaoli by my side, I wouldn't even know if I had married you."
Uneasy all day, Feng Ling Xi's one heart has only just settled down now that she sees Dugu City.
“There were many things that happened in the palace today. Prime Minister Shen's coup attempt failed, but he actually did you a great favor. Shen Yun took the blame for poisoning the Empress Dowager to save Prime Minister Shen. In prison, Prime Minister Shen confessed that his father had poisoned the Emperor to death. The Empress Dowager was furious, and the Emperor executed Prime Minister Shen and his entire family.”
"Was this all designed by your Imperial Mother"
This conspiracy against Lord Shen, she felt something was off about it, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what.
It's highly unlikely that Shen Yun poisoned the Empress Dowager, after all, the poison was hers. Why would Shen Yun claim it was her And why would the Prime Minister confess to poisoning the late emperor It's all too convenient, happening just a day before her and Dugu City's wedding.
“No, Lord Shen did indeed collude with the remnants of Gallo Kingdom. It’s just that this king didn’t expect it to be so coincidental. It was discovered last night, and moreover, Lord Shen and Shen Yun took on the blame for poisoning the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor. This king doesn't understand how this could happen either.”
He messed around all day today, but still didn't figure it out.
"What a coincidence."
Wind Ling Xi pondered for a moment, "Why would Shen Yun take the blame upon herself And as for Prime Minister Shen, I truly cannot understand."
"Xier, do you want to ask mother if this has anything to do with her"
Feng Lingxi's face was full of surprise, "You mean, Lord Shen and Shen Yun are also members of the Yao Clan"
Even if it were the Yao clan, they wouldn't go so far as to sacrifice the lives of over a hundred people in the Prime Minister's residence to protect her.
"If it wasn't the empress dowager's people, then this Minister Shen must belong to the imperial concubine. Although everyone in the palace says that Concubine Yun committed suicide by hanging herself, before seeing Concubine Yun's body, no one can say for sure if she truly died."
Dugu City's analysis sent a chill down Feng Lingxi's spine. Could Empress Cen really have gone this far
Just thinking about it is terrifying, it shouldn't be this bad.
"Be careful of everything tomorrow when you enter the palace."
Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes tightened. She was entering the palace tomorrow, and she probably wouldn't find it so easy to leave afterward.
Dugu City took out a purple star necklace from his bosom and gave it to her, “This is a replica of the Purple Star made by your mother. It’s indistinguishable from the real one. Tomorrow, you should wear it and give it to Empress Cen.”
Feng Lingxi took the Purple Star and examined it carefully. "It's really similar," she said. "If you hadn't told me it was fake, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference."
This amethyst necklace is more like the real one than her previous imitation. Mother truly lives up to her title, making it even better than she could.
"Indeed, it is true."
Dugu Cheng wore the fake Zi Xing around his neck and looked at Dugu Cheng, "I haven't decided whether to make Princess Yao Hua disappear."
The pardon has been granted, and tomorrow she will enter the palace. The Empress Dowager certainly won't let her go easily, even if Zixing gives his word. And while Princess Yaohua could appear, it couldn't be her.
What was Xier thinking
Dugu Cheng knew she definitely had her own thoughts, he respected her decision.
Whether she wanted this identity or not, it didn't matter to him. All he cared about was that Xi'er could stay by his side.
"I don't know, we'll talk about it after I enter the palace."
Feng Lingxi handed Yao Hua Princess's human skin mask to him, "Act accordingly."
This time, the Chancellor took the blame, she washed away her guilt, only when she saw the Empress Dowager did she know what was going on.
Little Li brought the food in. Dugu Cheng let Feng Lingxi eat, and seeing the worry on her face, he ordered Little Li to go and tell Yao Wan Ying to come to the mansion tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of entering the palace.
Inn
Huangfu Qingyun spent a sleepless night. He attended Xi'er and Dugu Cheng's wedding, watching Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng pay respects at the altar and officially become husband and wife. He truly sent Feng Lingxi back into Dugu Cheng's hands. Returning to the inn, his heart was filled with immense pain.
Although he promised not to compete with Dugu City for Xi'er, now that they were married, he suddenly felt redundant. Staying here seemed pointless, and his heart felt empty.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's best to rest early so you can enter the palace tomorrow."
Li Nuo spoke, looking at the Crown Prince who had drunk so much, his eyes full of worry. Huangfu Qingyun took a sip of wine, "You say why is this palace feeling uneasy in my heart Didn't we agree to return Xi'er to him"
"Your Highness, she is now the Fourth Princess Consort."
Huangfu Qingyun gave a wry smile. Fourth Princess, how could he not know she was the Fourth Princess.
With a self-deprecating smile, Huangpu Qingyun stood up, "Tomorrow when you enter the palace, don't follow this Palace. Just wait here for news."
"Your Highness..."
Huangfu Qingyun raised his hand and shakily returned to his room.
The next day, Feng Lingxi woke up early. Yao Wan'ying had already brought the person over. Looking at the mask she usually wore on someone else, Feng Lingxi felt strange.
"Xier, she is now Princess YaoHua, the Fourth Royal Consort. Later, Prince Huangfu will bring Princess YaoHua to meet the Empress Dowager. You can handle how to act then yourself."
Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at Princess Yao Hua. "Mother, is Shen Yun yours"
"No, I don't quite understand what happened either. Still looking into it."
When it comes to Prime Minister Shen, Yao Wan'ying's face was also full of puzzlement. The Shen family took the blame for poisoning the former Emperor and Empress Dowager, but it was unclear whether it was the Empress Dowager's intention or the Shen family's own decision.
The Empress Dowager didn't know who poisoned the late Emperor, but it was Xi'er who poisoned her. Why would Shen Yun admit to it
"Mother, do you think Shen Yun might have poisoned the Empress Dowager as well"
At the time, she didn't have Empress Dowager's body checked to see if she had been poisoned. After the poison took effect, she cured Empress Dowager's poisoning and didn't pay much attention to it., she spoke in a low voice, "This is the Empress Dowager's intention. Besides, Cheng'er has been with you for so long, hasn't he still not had any offspring Xi'er, as a wife, don't you understand thes...
