this every day from now on"Attendant, take all the extra bedding out of the room."Two maids entered the room and in a few moments, they had checked it thoroughly. They moved all the bedding from the c..."When have I ever been grieved by them"

Empress Cen was clearly displeased, and if it weren't for the fact that they were discussing the treasure now, she wouldn't have kept her company any longer.

Feng Lingxi's face darkened as she looked into the Empress Dowager's calculating eyes and reminded her, "Empress Dowager, a wise person doesn't speak in riddles. Since we are now cooperating, let's be straightforward. If you agree, you can leave at any time to retrieve the treasure from the Yao Clan."

"Empress Dowager Cen looked at her, the coldness in her eyes made Feng Lingxi slightly frown, "What, Empress Dowager thinks I'm wrong"

"Feng Ling Xi, this humble empress has underestimated you. These days in the palace, you have been making quite a stir. This empress thought you were truly trying to consider her, but it seems everything you've done is for yourself."

If the Empress Dowager wants to say it that way, I have nothing to say.

Since it's a cooperative relationship, why should she have to look at her face.

Now that things have come to light, she naturally wanted a promise from Empress Dowager Cen. She certainly didn't want to go to the Yao clan with Dugu City alone; her mother was being bullied here.

"I, the Empress, will keep my word. You will depart in three days."

"Dugu Cheng must accompany me to the Yao clan."

"No, if he leaves, I will let you go. But if you leave, wouldn't I be at a loss"

Feng Lingxi walked to her position and sat down, "Since the Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, then let's forget about this cooperation."

"Feng Lingxi, are you not afraid that I will order your execution right now"

Feng Lingxi looked fearless, twirling the Zi Xing sword in her hand. "Your Majesty, feel free to strike. There are 300,000 troops outside the city, and the armies of the Huangxia Dynasty are also stationed there. If you kill me, their armies will storm the city. Your Majesty should think carefully."

"This has nothing to do with Emperor Xia, it was you who killed Yao Hua, not me."

Feng Lingxi rose to her feet, looking at Empress Cen, a smirk curling her lips as she let out an unrestrained laugh.

Ke Yao Hua said that the Empress Dowager killed her. The Empress Dowager should know that the current mood in Aohua Dynasty towards the Empress Dowager is discontent. The reason they haven't taken action is because they are afraid of the 300,000 army outside Dugu City. If I die, does the Empress Dowager think Dugu City will still interfere with Aohua Dynasty attacking the palace

Cen Taizi's face turned green with anger at her words. No wonder she was so arrogant and domineering after entering the palace. It was all because Du Gu Cheng supported her and spoiled her rotten.

"Wind Ling Xi, you're quite capable indeed. However, this Empress has something unclear. Since you've brought it up to this extent, why not tell this Empress, how did Yao Hua die"

Feng Lingxi, hearing her words, let out a cold sneer and said, “Empress Dowager, Princess Yao Hua herself said that it was you who killed her. You ask me how she died How would I know”

"Do you think I wouldn't know This is certainly related to you. The day Yao Hua left, you did meet her."

"The Empress Dowager's meaning is that I killed Princess Yaohua and she died Back then, I went to the border, and when my father passed away, I was still blamed. Why can't the death of Princess Yaohua be blamed on her now" If you want to find a reason to accuse someone, there will never be a lack of it. The Empress Dowager should be able to feel how I felt back then, right"

Queen Cen's face flushed, turning between pale and red as she looked at Feng Lingxi. She understood.

"All of this is your fault, Yaohua. You killed her."

Feng Lingxi pulled a sneer at the corner of her lips, "Does the Empress Dowager still want to pin these unfounded charges on me like before"

"Feng Ling Xi, I did not kill Yao Hua. I treated her as my own daughter. Was it you who did this"

Empress Cen was emotionally agitated. She suddenly understood some things and just wanted confirmation. The more Windlingxi denied it, the more she became certain that it was all planned by her.

"Imperial Dowager, the late Emperor said that I poisoned him. Now even Princess Yaohua has spoken up and said it was you, yet you still want me to confess. If you dare to do it, then you must also dare to take responsibility."

Feng Lingxi took the Purple Star into her arms, "The Empress Dowager likely can't answer my questions now. Perhaps we should wait until the Empress Dowager has thought things through, and when she has, we can continue our conversation."

"Hold on!"

Queen Cen's face darkened, and she stopped her.

"Dugu City can walk with you, but let me tell you, if you dare to deceive me, the entire General's Mansion will be buried with you for everything you do."

Feng Lingxi smirked, her eyes cold and piercing. Did she think she could threaten her with the power of the General's Mansion

What does the life and death of people in the General's Mansion have to do with her The people she needs to protect are all by her side. As for those unimportant people, Empress Cen can do whatever she wants.

Feng Lingxi turned around and met Empress Cen's eyes, which were filled with suppressed anger. She smiled sweetly.

"The Empress is pleased, and so am I. In three days' time, I will set off to my clan to retrieve the treasure. The Empress can await good news here in the palace."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li beside her, "Let's leave the palace."

Xiao Li hurried to keep up with the Princess's steps, feeling that all the frustration of this period had vanished. The Princess was so imposing now, she simply blew Xiao Li away! Her pace quickened, wishing she could leave the palace immediately and return home with the Princess.

Queen Cen watched Feng Lingxi's leaving figure, angrily grabbed the teacup beside her and smashed it to the ground. The palace maids and eunuchs were frightened and knelt on the ground, trembling one by one. Dugu Yan entered and heard the empress dowager's roar. Knowing that Feng Lingxi had left the palace, he rushed over immediately, but he didn't expect this situation.

"The son greets his mother. Mother, what is wrong with you"

When Empress Cen saw that Dugu Yan had arrived, she suppressed her anger.

Besides Feng Lingxi, who else could have made the Empress so angry

"Feng Ling, you have such courage! Bring him here…"

Before Dugu Yan could finish her words, Empress Cen interrupted her, "That's enough."

Although Empress Cen was very angry, she still understood the situation.

“If I could catch her and punish her, I would have done it long ago. She just reminded me that the army of the Great Xia Dynasty and the 300,000 troops of Dugu City are stationed outside the city. Dugu City refuses to hand over military power. Both the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and Dugu City joined forces to destroy the Kingdom of Gallo. If Feng Lingxi had something happen, Dugu City would attack the city, and the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely take action to avenge Yao Hua.”

The sense of crisis that came with being besieged was something she now deeply felt.

Du Gu Yan's face darkened, "I can't get my hands on the military power of Du Gu City."

"What use is military command if you don't have the loyalty of your soldiers Dugu City's name alone is more powerful than any military orders; his men follow him, not their flags."

Otherwise, she would not have such a headache because of Dugu City's existence. Feng Lingxi is truly a scourge. Back then, she was inconspicuous, but now she has become her biggest threat.

"Dispatch someone to keep a close watch on the Si Wangfu, and continue gathering evidence of Duguxing's treason against the court. Once we have the treasure in our possession, we will capture them all."

"I have already started to handle it, Mother, please rest assured."

Dugu Yan looked at the cruelty in her mother's eyes and retreated.

Having left the palace, Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li to the General's Mansion. Upon seeing them, Zhang Shi's face flushed with alternating shades of red and white. She greeted Feng Lingxi with a forced smile. Thinking of Yu Xi's matter, she felt both hatred and fear towards Feng Lingxi.

"Stop, Fourth Princess!"

Feng Lingxi had just stepped into General Feng's manor and was about to head to her mother's courtyard when she was stopped by Feng Aotien, who had arrived earlier. Looking at Feng Aotien's frosty and cold eyes, Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a cool tone, "General Feng, what do you mean I'm not here to find you."ng about how all her hard work was destroyed like this, he felt a bitter taste in his heart, but he could only do as she wished."General Li, do as the Princess wishes and see to this matter as quickly...
