e going to steal tribute offerings"This king will find a way."獨孤宇 looked at Feng Lingxi, "I ask the Fourth Princess to help Wan'er extend her life. This king will bring back the snow lotus from Tiansh...They came rather quickly, it being so late. If we weren't here, they might suspect something.
Dugu Cheng got up and said to Feng Lingxi, "Let's go take a look."
"Mother Consort, Luo Li, you two continue. We'll go take a look."
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng went to the front hall. Dugu Yu was already there waiting for them. Seeing the couple, he got up and greeted them with a smile, saying, "It seems that this king arrived just in time."
"San Wangye, you came to see us this late. Is there something urgent"
Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Cheng with understanding, then withdrew her gaze and sat down.
獨孤宇 smiled faintly, "It's nothing urgent. I just heard you were back and wanted to see you. You came back without even notifying this king"
"Lord Sanwang should know that we returned to the capital escorted personally by General Feng. We were summoned to the palace as soon as we arrived at the manor, and after a quick dinner, there was no time to rest." The information conveyed in Dugu Cheng's words piqued Dugu Yu's interest, his eyes narrowed, and a smile grew on his face.
"The Fourth Brother is indeed the Emperor's trusted confidante. He has just returned and been summoned to the palace. It seems the Emperor favors him greatly; perhaps this title of Generalissimo should rightfully belong to the Fourth Brother."
"What do you mean, Third Prince"
"Dugu Yu saw that he wouldn't admit it and smiled, "In this capital city, who doesn't know how much the Emperor favors the fourth brother I heard that the fourth brother even imprisoned the Sixth Prince and sent him back to the capital."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Cheng's gaze shifted, and he looked at Dugu Yu with a different expression.
He came here to probe for information about Dugu Xiu's whereabouts, but he fears he may have come to the wrong place.
"Sixth Prince was rescued on the way and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
Dugu Yu narrowed his eyes, a hint of confusion in them.
"Fourth brother, do you know who rescued the Sixth Prince To be able to take someone away from under your very nose is no easy feat."
Without further information, it remains unclear whether this event is true or false.
獨孤城又怎會不知道這句話的意思，淡淡道，“救走六王爺的人是誰，本王還未查明，不過，本王相信，這人在深知本王的行蹤，想來也是跟六王爺關係極為密切，再者，在本王的眼下救人，並不難，本王的母妃不也曾在本王眼皮底下被人擄走嗎？”
Dugu Yu's face was not looking good. He felt a sense of suspicion as if the words were directed at him.
“When the Third King took me, wasn’t it done without a sound The person who saved the Sixth King might just be as capable as the Third King.” Feng Ling Xi gave Du Gu Yu a meaningful look. Seeing him dryly chuckle and take a sip of tea, her gaze held a hint of intrigue.
"It seems that I arrived today at the wrong time."
Dugu Yu stood up, “Then this king will not disturb the two of you.”
Feng Ling Xi saw that he was about to leave, a smile curved her lips, "Third Prince, I heard Ye Xi say you wanted to see me just now. I wonder what you want to tell me"
Dugu Yu glanced at Dugu Cheng, "I just wanted to see if you two were doing well. Now that I've seen you, there's nothing more to say. You should get some rest early today and come again another day."
"May the Three Kings have a safe journey."
Dugu Cheng spoke, and a slight stiffness appeared on Dugu Yu's face. He nodded slightly and left the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
“This probing was so arrogant.”
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "It seems that Dugu Yu really handled our cooperative relationship with him very well."
Nothing was wasted, this was the time to sound him out, he couldn't refuse his kindness yet.
"It seems I underestimated him."
獨孤城 stood up, “Xier, you go back to your room and rest first. This king still has some things to do and will be back later.”
"Take care of yourself then, I'm going back now."
Feng Lingxi instructed, and seeing Dugu City respond and leave, she then took Xiaoli back to her room.
"Xiao Li, go investigate how many Yao clan people are in the capital city. Have them help me find out who Du Guyu has been meeting with recently, what actions he's taken, and the locations where he previously transported weapons. "
Xiao Li nodded, "This servant will have Fifteenth go and handle it right away."
If Duguxiu was rescued, then the arsenic and he would once again be partners. Then all that she had done before would surely be known to Duguxiu.
People, truly, cannot be too kind and indecisive. In the end, it only brings them endless trouble.
The next day, the General's Mansion
Early in the morning, General's Mansion was bustling with activity. The Empress returned to General's Mansion with a grand entourage. General Feng and his wife personally greeted her at the door. The fourth princess and the fourth prince returned home for a visit, which was well-known throughout the household. The onlookers were numerous, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the fourth princess's elegance.
Ever since Feng Lingxi married into the Siwangfu, things have become quite a stir. Nowadays, she is a prominent figure in the capital city. Her deeds are the talk of every household, becoming more and more fantastical with each telling. The common people speak highly of her medical skills, spreading rumors that make her name buzz throughout the city.
Feng Yu Xi never expected that, as the empress, she would be less respected than Feng Ling Xi, the fourth princess. Watching Feng Ling Xi enter expressionless, Feng Yu Xi's eyes grew colder and colder.
Feng Linglong then smiled and stepped forward to greet them. Looking at Feng Lingxi, she glared coldly. Thinking of how she killed Yi Xuan, the hatred in Feng Linglong's eyes made her clench her fists under her sleeves.
"What are you all just standing around for Go sit in the front hall."
Zhao smiled and greeted them, the appearance of Feng Lingxi and Dugu City made the atmosphere at the General's Mansion somewhat strange. As the mistress of the General's Mansion, she naturally had to ease the tension, quickly giving Feng Yu Xi a wink. After all, she was her daughter, Feng Yu Xi quickly collected herself, smiling at Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess, your current reputation truly brings glory to the General's Mansion."
"That's right! This Fourth Madam's medical skills are even praised by the Empress Dowager. This is a great honor for our family, General. You can't keep frowning at the Fourth Madam from now on. Our General's Mansion will depend on her in the future."
Zhao Shi stepped forward, wanting to pull Feng Ling Xi's glove closer. However, before she could even touch Feng Ling Xi's hand, Feng Ling Xi dodged out of the way. The smile on Zhao Shi's face froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and greeted Feng Ling Xi with a smile.
Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi's attitude, his face displeased. However, due to the presence of Dugu City, he dared not show it too obviously.
"The Four Kings request you to take a seat in the front hall."
Dugu Cheng responded and grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand, walking inside. Feng Yu Xi saw the situation and opened her mouth to say, “Fourth Royal Prince didn’t go to court today, how come he has time to accompany Fourth Princess to the General’s Mansion”
獨孤城 stopped his steps, looking at Feng Yu Xi's smile with a solemn expression. "Today the Emperor did not summon us, there is no need to enter the palace. Moreover, these past few months I have been away from the capital city, today Xi'er is returning to her maiden home, this King should accompany her, it would be disrespectful to miss out on such an occasion."
Feng Yu's face stiffened slightly, her eyes burning with jealousy. How could Feng Ling Xi be so favored by Du Gu Cheng
As women of the Feng family, she, Feng Lingxi, truly made the several men of the Dugu family infatuated with her.s them. This time, Lu Nian didn't stop her, but followed behind her, his handsome face full of coldness."Let the Princess Consort of Chen come out and make things clear."Outside the government office,...
