er is so fond of my three elder sisters, it makes Xi'er envious. Thinking about Xi'er's marriage, wasn't it also bestowed by the Emperor and agreed upon by Father It's unlike my sisters who are this h..."My Lord, you're saying Princess Yaohua is the new Princess Consort Then..."

Seeing the Lord agree, Ye Xi covered her mouth, thinking of the look Yao Hua Princess gave him that day, and swallowed nervously.

Oh no, did he offend the Princess again without realizing it

"Is Ali, who is by Princess Yaohua's side, Xiaoli"

"Smart, figured it out so quickly."

Yexi hearing the king's praise, couldn't help but laugh and cry, hurriedly saying, "Your Highness, I've been serving you for so long, for such a big matter, why didn't you tell me clearly That day, I had a big argument with Xiao Li, and also said something about the princess. When the princess comes back next time, will she forgive me"

Dugu City looked at Ye Xi's tearful face, the smile on his lips deepening.

"You'd have to ask Xier about that. This king can't guarantee anything."

"Your Highness, since Princess YaoHua is the rightful princess, why don't you marry her"

Dugu Cheng then told them their plan to Ye Xi, mainly because he didn't want him to be unaware and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, fearing that it would disrupt his plans.

Ye Xi looked at the king's smile, and at this moment, he even wanted to die. He only felt that the future was dark.

When the princess returns, will he have a good life

Wouldn't you be like those flowers and plants in the palace, strangled by the Queen

"Now you know, be careful with your words from now on."

Ye Xi hurriedly straightened her back, "Your Highness rest assured, this subordinate will definitely cooperate with Your Highness and the Princess. Absolutely nothing will go wrong."

"What news from the palace"

Dugu Cheng put down the documents in his hands, his brow furrowed. He hadn't seen Xi'er for several days and missed her a little. As night fell, he went to the inn to see her, hoping to ease his homesickness.

Thinking about it, Dugu City got up.

"The Crown Prince brought his wife out of the palace."

Dugu Cheng stopped his steps, turned to look at Ye Xi, "You said Xi'er left the palace"

"Yeah, we're all back at the inn."

Before she was Princess Yao Hua, he was afraid that she would take the position of the princess and kept a close eye on her. He knew everything about Princess Yao Hua's whereabouts and naturally knew the movements of the princess.

"Let's go to the inn later tonight. Come with me to the General's Mansion now."

Dugu Cheng reminded, "Remember, now Xi'er is Princess Yaohua, don't call her the wrong name."

"Understood, sir."

After Dugu City left the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Huangfu Qingyun went to the mansion alone, but he was disappointed to find it empty. According to his plan, he should have gone to discuss with Dugu City and arranged for him to marry Princess Yaohua. Even if he struck out, at least he had taken action.

Feng Lingxi returned to the inn and slept soundly. After waking up, the sky was already dark. After having a meal with Huangfu Qingyun, she stayed at the inn to rest.

"Xier, put on your night attire."

As they had agreed, Huangpu Qingyun gave Feng Lingxi a set of night-walking clothes and planned to change into it before going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Just then, he saw Dugu Cheng climb in through the window. Seeing Huangpu Qingyun in Feng Lingxi's room, Dugu Cheng was taken aback at first, looking at Huangpu Qingyun's night-walking clothes, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you guys going out"

"Dugu City, how did you come here"

Feng Ling Xi went out at night, tossed her robe onto the bed, and hurriedly supported Dugu Cheng down. Ye Xi followed closely behind them into the room.

"I'll find you, it's not convenient during the day."

"Then we don't need to go out."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi and Dugu City, "I'll go change into a new outfit, I'll be right back."

Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Ling Xi down and sat beside him, checking her over. He asked anxiously, "Ling Xi, these past few days in the palace, have you been injured"

"In the palace, I am Princess Yao Hua. Who dares to harm me"

She's already fortunate that she doesn't hurt people.

"You're right, we should be afraid of them."

Dugu Cheng reached out and hugged Feng Lingxi in his arms, his eyes full of worry. "Xier, these days, I've made you suffer."

Although Mingming was back, he couldn't let her go home. He had to keep her here, pretending to be the princess Aoxiang and playing along with him.

Feng Lingxi nestled in his arms, inhaling his scent. The fatigue of these days vanished instantly. She looked up at him, "Then when are you going to marry me"

Dugu Cheng pulled her down and sat beside her. "In the palace, your performance would make Dugu Yan never accept you into the harem. Plus, the empress dowager wants Zi Xing, and I don't want to drag this out any longer. I plan to find someone to impersonate you and clear your name first."

"Are you confident you can clear your name"

Feng Ling Xi raised her head, if she could dissect Emperor's corpse, she could prove her innocence. Now, even this method wouldn't work, she still had to find a way to wash away the injustice.

"Your mother is the best proof. She can prove that your father's death has nothing to do with you. But if she comes out, the Empress Dowager will definitely kill her. What we need to do now is to prove your father's true cause of death. These days, I have found that imperial physician, there must be a way."

"Dugu Cheng, have you asked your mother, what did the emperor say when he was dying Did he leave her any imperial decree or anything like that"

Dugu Cheng shook his head, "My mother didn't tell me. I'll ask her when I get back."

"Be sure to clarify things. If there's truly nothing, then someone needs to take the fall and clear your name."

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes flashed with a layer of coldness. It seemed she still had to find Feng Yu Xi, perhaps she could give her a breakthrough.

"I want to go back home tomorrow to find Feng Yu Xi. She has been in the palace for so long, she must know something. She hates me so much, she definitely doesn't want me to be alive. If I attack her, maybe I can find some clues."

"Then you have Huangfu Qingyun accompany you tomorrow. Be careful not to reveal your identity."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún walked in and heard Dúlú Chéng ask him to accompany Xī'ěr out. He walked up to them, "Where are you taking Xī'ěr"

"At the General's Residence, I want to quickly clear Ah-Er’s name. While we still have some time, let’s look for some clues."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her nod in agreement.

"Alright, for now, the Emperor can't marry you and Yao Hua. Delaying it too long might cause trouble. Being able to clear Xi Er's name is a good thing, after all. If things really get desperate, we can use Zi Xing as bait."

When it comes to Zixing, Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, "You need to ask your mother about Zixing. It's a sacred artifact of the Yao clan, and I can't make my own decisions."

Although she had thought about it, if Zixing fell into the Empress Dowager's hands, she would do anything to kill her.

"I have a way to prevent the Empress Dowager from killing Xi'er."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at Feng Lingxi, "Giving Zixing to her is nothing, as long as the Empress Dowager believes that getting Zixing still needs Xi'er's blood as a medicine to activate it. For the sake of the treasure, the Empress Dowager will certainly not kill Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "What if, the Empress Dowager still wants to take Xier's blood and kill her Wouldn't that make Xier even more dangerous"

"To open the treasure, Xier must activate the Purple Star by bleeding at the scene. This way, we'll have a better chance of clearing our name and preventing the Empress Dowager from killing Xier."

Huangfu Qingyun saw that Dugu City was still not at ease, and reminded him, "Don't forget, this Zixing has been in the hands of the Saint Lord for generations. Only the Saint Lord knows the specific way to open the treasure map. This is our advantage."es would flock, a dangerous threat as they are difficult to guard against. They are like hidden arrows, harder to defend against than open attacks."When we get back and check it out, we'll know. Worr...
