t's all my fault."“This is all her fate, you don’t have to worry. Xi'er has the purple star protecting her, nothing will happen to her. Back then, if I hadn’t been playing and fallen off a cliff, bein...Shen Yun hurriedly explained, looking at the empress dowager's sullen face, tears of fear welling up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Lady Yun Guifei did not say she would give Feng Lingxi to the Empress Dowager for disposal. She said that she wanted Lady Long Gui and Lady Xi Gui to join forces to kill Feng Lingxi."
Little Li couldn't bear it anymore, she opened her mouth. Feng Linglong and Yun Guifei's faces turned ashen, and even Feng Yu Xi was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that they would be dragged down with them.
"Ali, stop talking."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly grabbed Xiao Li's hand, the two of them exchanging glances and looking at the Empress Dowager's anger. They were secretly delighted, it was simply too satisfying.
"Yao Hua, let her speak."
Empress Cen looked at Xiaoli, "Continue."
Xiao Li glanced at Feng Linglong and Shen Yun, "Your Majesty, allow me to speak frankly. Your Majesty has never said she would execute Feng Lingxi. For Guifei Yun and Guifei Long to act this way is undoubtedly misleading people into believing that Your Majesty wants to kill Feng Lingxi. If this gets out, wouldn't it be saying bad things about Your Majesty"
"A Li, that's enough."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled at Xiaoli's sleeve and scolded her.
The face of Empress Dowager Cen had already sunk to the point where it could not sink any lower. Looking at Feng Linglong and Shen Yun, she roared angrily.
"The two of you have truly disappointed this palace. Bring them to the Cold Palace, and let them reflect upon their actions."
“Mother Empress, please spare them.” The Empress hastily pleaded for them, “Although what they did this time was excessive, it was merely a small squabble. I beg the Grand Empress to give them another chance.” The Empress finished speaking and said, “Mother Empress, for the sake of the Chancellor and General Feng, please give them a chance. Your humble servant will properly discipline them.”
Upon hearing about the Chancellor and the Wind General, the Empress Dowager was finally moved.
This Shen Yun was also someone she summoned into the palace. At the very least, she should give the prime minister some face.
This wind is sharp, now Feng Linglong still has use. If we deal with Feng Linglong, then perhaps Feng Aotien will have second thoughts, so I can only bear it and let her go this time.
"All of you, go back to your chambers and reflect on your actions. None of you are to leave the palace grounds without my command."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Feng Linglong and Shen Yun hurriedly thanked them and got up to leave.
They both sobered up a bit, realizing they had gone too far this time and almost gotten caught.
Feng Lingxi saw things unfold this way, and while uncomfortable, she didn't dare say much.
"Yao Hua, I'm sorry you had to go through this."
The Empress Dowager Cen held onto Feng Lingxi's hand, her face filled with helplessness.
"Both Lady Rong and Lady Yun are daughters of important ministers. Even if I didn't consider my own face, I would have to consider the faces of their fathers and give them a chance to redeem themselves."
Feng Lingxi walked behind Empress Cen and kneaded her shoulders, "Empress, Yao Hua doesn't feel wronged. This time it was all because Yao Hua couldn't explain things clearly that caused the two noble consorts to quarrel."
They are all impure-hearted fellows.
Empress Dowager Cen let out a cold snort, "You all think of this Empress Dowager as blind, truly believing that I don't know what you're plotting."
Feng Ling felt a jolt in her heart, looking at Cen Taizu's displeased expression. She wondered if she had also seen through her thoughts
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Yaohua will massage your shoulders for you. Let's not think about these unhappy things."
The expression on Empress Cen's face had improved considerably.
"Yao Hua, Ai Jia truly doesn't want to marry you off to the Fourth Prince now. Ai Jia wishes to keep you by my side so that Ai Jia could have a maid as considerate as you."
Feng Lingxi walked up to Cen Taifei's face and said in a serious tone, "This won't do, Yao Hua is about to marry the Fourth Prince. He is the reason I came here."
"And what of me"
Then Empress Cen chuckled, twisting her brows playfully. She was amused by this girl’s words; she was truly honest and adorable.
Feng Lingxi seriously thought for a moment, then hurriedly kneaded her shoulders and patted her back, smiling sweetly, "Of course, Yaohua respects important people."
"How did your father and mother raise you to speak so sweetly"
"It's because the Empress Dowager is so good to Yao Hua that she has such a sweet mouth. When summer comes, Yao Hua gets fierce and even scares herself."
Feng Lingxi's words made Empress Cen laugh even more happily, "You really amused this old woman. You, little girl, have suffered a loss yourself and still want to coax me into being happy. Did Liu Mama teach you all these useless rules these days"
"Your Majesty, you swore."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly patted her back, "For Yao Hua's sake, the Empress Dowager has worried a lot. Yao Hua even feels guilty towards the Empress Dowager."
"They are both Shen Yun and Feng Linglong, they are all because the Empress Dowager spoiled them too much in the past, letting them run wild."
"That's because the Empress Dowager is so kind, she treats them as her own daughters."
Feng Lingxi softly said, continuing to knead Empress Cen's shoulders.
"Empress Dowager, Yao Hua has been brought before you, wind-swept and shivering. Will you truly not execute her"
Speaking of this, Empress Cen's smile gradually disappeared from her face, and her tone became colder.
"How did you suddenly bring this up"
"Yunyi said that Longgui and Xi Gui wanted to kill Fenglingxi. Yaohua didn't understand, Fenglingxi was their sister, why would they want to kill her"
Feng Lingxi feigned confusion, causing Empress Cen's face to darken further.
"Feng Lingxi and her sisters are not from the same mother. As for the specifics, this old woman hasn't asked."
Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, looking at Empress Cen, "Does the Empress also want to kill Feng Lingxi"
"I won't kill her, I promised the Fourth Prince. As long as he marries you, I will let Feng Lingxi go."
Feng Lingxi was slightly surprised. Did the Empress Dowager truly want to let her go
"Yao Hua, the Fourth Prince harbors a deep and sincere affection for Feng Ling Xi. Since you are marrying the Fourth Prince, in the future, you must put more thought into it. The Empress Dowager spares Feng Ling Xi, allowing him to treat you kindly. That is all I can do for you."
"Empress Dowager…"
Feng Lingxi's eyes were red as she looked at Empress Cen. If she didn't know Empress Cen's intentions, she would have been moved to tears.
She never would have thought that Empress Cen still had such a warm side.
Empress Dowager Cen patted her on the back, "Don't worry, no matter what Prince Four does, he will keep his promise to treat you well."
Feng Ling Xi's eyes were wet, watching Cen Taizi reach out to wipe away her tears. Thinking of the ruthlessness in her eyes when she wanted to kill her, but now she was pampering her so much for another identity of hers, Feng Ling Xi's heart was a mixture of emotions. When the truth was revealed, would Cen Taizi still be able to say such words if she knew that she was Feng Ling Xi
"Empress Dowager, Yao Hua has always had a question she wanted to ask you. I don't know if you are willing to tell Yao Hua"
Wind Lingxi clenched her fists, she would risk it once. If the Empress spoke, she would consider letting her go. If not, then she would treat it as if she had never truly cared for her.
"What does Yao Hua want to ask"
Queen Cen looked into Feng Lingxi's eyes, seeing her hesitation. "Why are you still being so guarded around me"
Feng Ling Xi raised her head, "Yao Hua, people have been saying that the Empress Dowager was trying to catch Feng Ling Xi because of the treasure on her body. Is that really true"
Queen Cen's smile gradually vanished, and her gaze toward Feng Lingxi deepened, as if she wanted to see through her with her eyes. Dugu Cheng returned, he saw Feng Ling Xi peacefully waiting in the room. The worry in his eyes finally subsided. He quickly walked towards her, reaching out to hug her shoulder. Feeling the snow on D...
