ment, and said, "Go out of the city to find him.""Your Highness, the King has ordered me to escort you back to your estate and await his return."Feng Lingxi, hearing Ye Xi insist on sending her back h..."But didn't Princess Consort say it wasn't the time yet"
Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Forget it."
She let her emotions cloud her judgment so much that she lost sight of her own convictions.
What I owe my mother, I will repay her in the future.
In the front hall, Duguxing and Duguxiu sat there. After serving tea, Duguxiu held his teacup, took a sip, glanced at Duguxing, and thought about what had happened these days. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he spoke, "I heard that the Fourth Prince has been staying at the villa outside the city these days, still with the Crown Prince of Huangxia Dynasty"
"And Xi'er."
Dugu Cheng corrected, looking at the shrewdness in Dugu Xiu's eyes, and asked, "How about it, Sixth Prince, you even need to ask this"
"This King only heard that Crown Prince Huofeng was injured and staying at the Fourth Brother's mountain villa. The Fourth Brother even went there to take care of him for several days, so out of curiosity, I inquired about it."
"The Emperor and Empress are both aware of this matter. As the prince of Arah Xia has arrived in Dayuan, it is my responsibility to take care of the visiting envoys."
As soon as Dugu Cheng finished speaking, Dugu Xiu said, "This envoy came before because of Princess Yaohua's affair and made our dynasty very unhappy. There was also the meaning of invading. Besides, since he is an envoy, why doesn't he live in the inn, but lives in a villa outside Fourth Brother's city This is inappropriate."
"What's inappropriate"
Du Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow, his tone growing colder. "Huang Xia, the Crown Prince of Chao owes Xi'er a life debt, and he is also an acquaintance of mine. Is there anything wrong with him living in a villa outside my city"
"Doesn't Fourth Brother fear that the Emperor and Empress Dowager will suspect Fourth Brother's motives for doing this"
Dugu Xiu narrowed his eyes, he admitted it readily, and generously.
"This king conducts himself properly and stands upright. What is there to fear Besides, Prince Huang Xia's visit this time is as an envoy of tribute. It is only right for me to treat him well. I have already informed the Emperor and Empress Dowager, so Six Royal Highness needn't worry."
Dugu Cheng's tone was sharp, unwilling to let Dugu Xiu lead him.
Du Gu Xiu's face changed drastically. He looked at the displeasure in Du Gu Cheng's eyes and unconsciously clenched his fists. The forbearance in his eyes gradually turned into frost. After a while, he loosened his fist, a sneer curled up at the corner of Du Gu Xiu's lips, and he reminded him kindly, "Fourth Brother, don't forget, the Emperor's health is not good..."
Before he could finish his words, Dugu Cheng interrupted him, "Speaking of the Emperor's failing health, wouldn't Sixth Prince be most aware" Their eyes met, sparks flying between them.
After a while, Dugu Xiu retracted his gaze, his eyes carrying a warning.
"Fourth Brother, it's fine for us brothers to speak like this, but if the Emperor heard this, I'm afraid my little life would be in danger. Does Fourth Brother dislike me this much"
Dugu Xiu's words made Dugu Cheng's eyes colder. Looking at him, he said, "What this king said, is it not right"
Dugu Xiu clenched his fists tightly, his suppressed eyes and the blue veins throbbing on his forehead revealed his anger, but even so, Dugu Cheng showed no fear at all.
"Fourth Brother, you should be more careful with your words."
Dugu Cheng coldly scanned over, ignoring Dugu Xiu's anger directly. His tone was extremely cold as he gave an order to leave, "This king has made it very clear, if the Sixth Prince has nothing else to do, you may leave."
"Humph!"
獨孤修起身拂袖離去，猶如一股寒風跟著他離去一般。
"My lord, the Sixth Prince is truly furious this time. Offending him like this will only make your position more precarious in the future."
Ye Xi's eyes were full of worry, while Du Gu Cheng remained calm.
"Isn't his purpose for coming here clear enough If I don't go with him, we will inevitably quarrel. There's no need to say more."
It was only a matter of time, and besides, even if he bowed his head, Dugu Xiu wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by. He could use his relationship with Huangfu Qingyun to cause trouble, so it might as well be severed. Anyway, he had already informed the Emperor and Empress about Huangfu Qingyun living in the villa. There was nothing to fear from an investigation.
"Ye Xi, this period of time send more people secretly protect the safety of the princess, and strengthen the safety within the mansion."
"Yes, my lord."
Ye Xi looked at the worry in the king's eyes, thinking about what had happened recently, and she started to worry too.
In the depths of winter, nights descended early and rain was a frequent visitor. As the year drew to a close, the wind and snow came in relentless waves. The cold was so intense that people were reluctant to leave their homes, and Feng Lingxi was no exception.
With tomorrow being the banquet for the emissaries from afar, she still showed no intention of preparing. The weather was so cold that she didn't even want to leave her room. It was freezing outside, with a blanket of white covering everything. Even though Empress Cen had summoned her days ago, Feng Lingxi still had no intention of entering the palace.
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to urge you to enter the palace again."
Xiao Li watched the Princess inside the room, a rich scent of medicine filling the air. She brewed medicine because it required a fire for warmth, and it was also her pleasure, so Feng Ling Xi enjoyed it.
Feng Ling Xi raised her beautiful eyes slightly, a look of impatience on her face.
"How did you get here again"
Looking at the thick snow outside, Feng Lingxi shivered and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "I don't want to go."
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to escort you. The carriage is waiting outside."
Feng Ling Xi lazily got up and looked at the fox fur coat Xia Li brought over, her eyes full of refusal.
"You'll be able to see me tomorrow, why should I come today It's freezing cold out there." My stomach is empty, what could I possibly do if I go
"Your Majesty, it's best if you go yourself to avoid the Queen's wrath later."
Feng Lingxi resigned herself to getting up and changed into a thick set of clothes. Xiao Li draped a fox fur cloak over her. As Feng Lingxi approached the door, the cold wind outside made her hesitate. How could it be so cold today Surely it wouldn't snow this much all the way until the New Year
"Your Highness, please wear this."
Xiao Li brought up a small stove and went forward, Feng Ling Xi carried it out, looking at the carriage waiting at the gate of the palace, her brows furrowed, her face full of refusal.
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has sent a decree inviting you to Shou'an Palace."
Feng Lingxi got into the carriage and saw the hot water bottle prepared inside. She covered herself with it, and it was actually quite warm. Her mood improved a little. It seemed that Empress Cen really wanted her to come over, and moreover, her attitude towards her was not bad. At least she was very satisfied with this hot water bottle.
Shou'an Palace
The appearance of Feng Lingxi made the coldness of Shou'an Palace feel warm. The maidservants' eyes all brightened, and when they saw Feng Lingxi appear, they all bowed. After Feng Lingxi entered the hall, Empress Cen was meditating with her eyes closed. Hearing the announcement, she opened her eyes and saw Feng Lingxi. Her eyes showed a hint of displeasure, but she sat up nonetheless.
"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Feng Lingxi, how dare you! I summoned you several times, and you only dared to come now."
Feng Lingxi knelt down, her voice neither humble nor arrogant.
The Empress Dowager calms down, this servant only dared to come before the Empress Dowager without shame.
Queen Mother Cen let out a cold snort. Feng Lingxi just knelt there, not saying a word for half an incense stick. An incense stick later, Queen Mother Cen couldn't hold back any longer.
