duction of two months' salary as punishment.""No way"Ye Xi jun's face fell, and he hurriedly chased after the King, "Your Majesty, you can't do this, my wages for this month are already…""Then three m..."It's better to tinker around when you have nothing to do than take medicine, and besides, this way it's more convenient."

Feng Lingxi saw the shock in her mother concubine's eyes, seeing her accept it, she glanced at the time, and then said, "Mother concubine, shouldn't we enter the palace now"

She hadn't even changed her clothes yet, and her mother remained here the whole time, showing no sign of leaving.

"Xier, when Mother Concubine moves out of the palace, can I come here often to watch you make medicine Your medicines here are quite a lot, and Mother Concubine also wants to learn."

Feng Lingxi responded, “Okay, Mother Concubine can come anytime.”

Shufei responded, reluctantly following her out. She went to change her clothes while Shufei went to find Dugu City.

Upon learning that Feng Lingxi was to enter the palace, Du Gucheng went looking for her and happened upon his mother concubine. After paying his respects, he looked past her and hastily asked, "Mother concubine, this son heard that the Empress summoned Xi'er into the palace. Where is she now"

"I'm going to change my clothes. I'll enter the palace with my mother later."

When Dugu City heard that she hadn't gone yet, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Er'er, your mother asks you, how long will this laxative take to work"

"Hmm"

Du Gucheng was completely bewildered by his mother concubine's sudden question. Shu Fei lightly coughed twice, "It's nothing, just pretend that your mother concubine didn't say anything."

The empress dowager felt uncomfortable being stared at by her son's eyes. This couple was truly a disgrace, reacting with such exaggerated expressions to everything. However, this little Xier was quite satisfactory. It seemed like it was time to take out the jade pendant.

"My child, there's something Mother wants to tell you."

"Mother, please speak."

To his mother, Dugu Cheng is extremely respectful. After all, unlike other women in the palace who sacrificed for him, his mother never did. Without her careful education, there wouldn't be the Dugu Cheng of today.

"Your mother told me that even before you were born, she had arranged a marriage for you. Now that you are grown and have married, it's time for your mother to handle the matter of your betrothed."

"Mother, you mustn't bring this up again. Your son has married Xi'er as his wife, and for the rest of his life, there will be no other woman. Please give up this thought."

"Are you really not going to"

Dugu Cheng's eyes were firm. Shu Fei glanced at Feng Lingxi who was walking over, a smile deepening on her face. "Children grow up and become their own people. If you truly don't like him, then just leave."

"Mother concubine, do you truly mean that"

獨孤城 was very excited. His mother really wanted to break his betrothal with his fiancée

Could he be dreaming

They have been arguing over this for several years.

Shufei took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant and threw it to him, "Since you don't want the princess arranged by your mother concubine, then get out."

"Thank you, Mother, for your understanding."

"Mother Consort, Prince, how did you end up here"

Wind Ling Xi walked over and saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant in Dugu City's hand. Her eyes were filled with confusion. Dugu City quickly put away the jade pendant and said to Wind Ling Xi, "This King was just talking with my mother concubine about old times. Are you going into the palace, Xi'er"

"This king will accompany you."

Dugu Cheng rushed forward, but was pushed away by Shufei. "What are you following me for"

"Mother, stop teasing. Xi'er is my queen. This time when the Empress summoned her, she must be trying to make things difficult for her. I will accompany her there, and even the Empress wouldn't dare to treat her too harshly."

"If you don't want Xi'er anymore, then what are you doing accompanying her into the palace"

As soon as Shu Fei spoke, Du Gu Cheng's face changed drastically. Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng with a puzzled expression, wondering what had happened.

"Mother Empress, you mustn't speak carelessly like this. When did your son ever say he didn't want Xier..."

"Didn't you just say that you didn't want the princess your mother had chosen for you"

Dugu Cheng stared at Feng Lingxi in astonishment, his face filled with shock. "Imperial Mother, you wouldn't tell your son that she is the fiancée he was betrothed to"

"Xier, where is the jade pendant that your mother gave you"

Feng Lingxi took out the jade pendant, Dugu City snatched it over, took out the one in his arms and put it together, it was indeed a pair.

"Mother Consort, how could Xi'er have such a relationship with this son"

"Keep this jade pendant safe. This expedition, it may be of help to you."

Feng Ling Xi only then understood why her mother had brought out this pair of jade pendants and spoken so much about them. It seemed that she wanted them to take these jade pendants on their expedition. It seemed that this time, the jade pendants would be able to find the answers she desired.

"Don't just stand there, get ready and go into the palace. Don't keep the Empress waiting."

Shufei left the mansion, Fenglingxi and Dugu Cheng followed, taking a carriage into the palace.

Upon entering the palace, Feng Ling Xi parted ways with them. Du Gu Cheng and Shu Fei went to the imperial study to see the emperor, while Feng Ling Xi went alone to the Phoenix Pavilion.

This time the Empress summoned her, it was already a bad omen. If she were to go together with Dugu City for an audience, who knows what would happen.

Upon reaching the Fengyi Hall, Feng Lingxi summoned him into the hall.

"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Empress."

The Empress's smile gradually faded from her face. Glancing at Feng Linglong and Shen Yun who sat beside her, a chill crept into her eyes.

"Get up, Your Highness,"

Feng Lingxi got up and looked up to see Feng Linglong, dressed in fine clothes, sitting beside the Empress. She was pregnant now, and it showed. Her clothes and jewelry were much more expensive than before.

"Your Majesty, does the Fourth Princess know why the Imperial Palace has summoned her today"

Wind Lingxi shook her head, and suddenly there was a loud bang in her ear. Wind Lingxi's face changed, and she knelt down hurriedly.

“Feng Ling Xi, do your eyes really not see me I sent Ling Long to the palace to visit Sixth Royal Consort, and you dare to make her a concubine. You're so bold, openly going against me.”

"Your Majesty, this matter is not as it seems. When I went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, I learned that the Sixth Princess Consort was not dead, but she knew that she had committed a capital crime and that Your Majesty had ordered Feng Side Concubine to put her to death. So she took poison beforehand, not wanting Feng Side Concubine to kill her with her own hands. Unexpectedly, Feng Side Concubine still stabbed her in the end. The Sixth Princess Consort begged me to take her away before she died. Thinking of our sisterhood, I had no choice but to take her and wanted to bury her, so I could only give her a new identity."

"Who told you it was this palace who ordered Linglong to execute the sixth consort"

Feng Linglong subconsciously clenched her fists upon hearing the Empress's words, Feng Lingxi stared at Feng Linglong's appearance with a cold gaze.

"Concubine Feng said that it was Empress's intention. Your servant believes the Empress wouldn't be foolish enough to let Concubine Feng go around claiming you ordered her to kill Sixth Princess."

"The Fourth Royal Consort's tongue is truly sharp. You two should learn from her."

Shen Yun smiled slightly, "The concubine will definitely learn from the Fourth Princess."

Feng Lingxi looked at Shen Yun's smile, her whole body, looking uncomfortable. In just two days, she had become a concubine. How could she have changed so much I only follow orders and hope Your Majesty will forgive my transgression.”獨孤雁 looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes turning cold, "Is that all you care about The identity of the Fourth Royal Princess"Feng...
