voring concubines and destroying wives."Feng Aotian's face changed drastically. He watched Dugu Yan's retreating figure, then looked at Feng Lingyu and Liu Shi, his expression complex."Grandpa..."Liu..."She's Shu Taifei, the most beloved Shu Fei of the late emperor. What's there to it"

Feng Lingxi and Shangguan Huan continued to listen, neither of them interrupting. The two continued talking.

"Where on earth did you find those women"

"How should I know I only heard it from others."

"Are you talking about Bai Xiaosheng"

Another one burst into laughter, "He calls himself a know-it-all, do you really think he knows everything"

After finishing their conversation, the two chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.

Feng Lingxi and Shangguan Huan saw that they had left without a word, so the two of them came out as well.

"Where is Bai Xiaosheng hiding"

Feng Lingxi asked Shangguan Huan, he was a person from the Jianghu, he should be more clear than her.

"Come with me."

Shangguan Huan found a beggar and gave him silver coins. After asking, the beggar gleefully pointed them in the direction. They said that Bai Xiaosheng was a sixty-year-old man at the end of the alley. He was a storyteller who made a living by setting up a stall to tell fortunes for people on a daily basis.

Feng Lingxi and Shangguan Huan found this Bai Xiaosheng. He was setting up a stall at the end of an alley. Seeing Feng Lingxi and Shangguan Huan, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss, would you like me to calculate a fortune for you No charge if it's not accurate."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "Alright, old man, even if you calculate the trivial matters in my heart and got it right, these all belong to you."

Feng Lingxi took out a silver ingot, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and watched her, beckoning her to sit down.

"The old gentleman saw through my disguise and was impressed."

Feng Lingxi bowed and said, her admiring gaze causing Bai Xiaosheng to smile. He bowed back towards her.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Royal Consort is too kind. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask."

Feng Lingxi's smile froze on her face. She had been recognized. Could her disguise be this obvious

"Sir, how did you recognize me"

She believed her disguise was unlike those careless ones used by women pretending to be men; there was no reason for anyone to suspect her true identity.

"Your Highness, to be frank with you, the news of your outing today has already spread widely and is no longer a secret."

In short, she was being watched.

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, her sharp gaze swept over the surroundings, but she did not find anyone suspicious.

"Did the Princess investigate Qing He's matter"

"You know Qing He too"

Feng Lingxi was extremely surprised. Wasn't Qinghe just a village woman How could Bai Xiaosheng, who is known for his knowledge of everything, also know about her existence

"To be honest with Your Highness, this old man has known about Qinghe for a long time. I want to advise Your Highness, it's best to let this matter go."

Why

A villager's story made her decide not to investigate, it seems this Qinghe is truly problematic.

Now everyone in the Jianghu knows about Qing He's affair. As I said, the Qing He that the Princess saved, committed suicide by biting her tongue at home. This is common knowledge. In addition to this, over the past two days, the Princess has executed two concubines. The news has spread throughout the Jianghu, giving you a very bad reputation. People say that you are jealous and cruel, unable to tolerate any woman who is good to your husband. This matter has already spread throughout the Jianghu, and it will soon reach the capital. At that time, Princess, you may be in trouble."

Feng Lingxi suddenly laughed, this is truly the saying "good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads for miles."

What has she done This is truly infamous.

"So you think I killed the two concubines out of jealousy"

Feng Lingxi looked at this "hundred-year scholar." The old man didn't seem like a fool, but the news was certainly eye-opening.

"Of course not, Your Highness. The two newly-entered concubines were killed by the Princess Consort. As far as I know, it was because they acted presumptuously and showed disrespect to the Princess Consort. There was also pressure from Imperial Dowager Empress Shu, so I can't say more."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "Since the old gentleman knows so much, I wonder if you could tell me, is Qing He alive or dead"

"Life also death."

To live and to die

What does this mean

Feng Lingxi looked at Bai Xiaosheng and still wanted to ask, but he waved his hand to stop her.

"Fourth Princess, this old man has said everything he needs to. To speak more would invite disaster."

This Bai Xiaosheng knew about Qinghe's matter and even advised her not to investigate. Could it be that the person behind this was someone she couldn't afford to provoke

Shutai, or is there someone else

"Sir, if this matter is not cleared up, I'm afraid that even with all you've said, they won't let you go."

Feng Lingxi, unwilling to give up, continued to press for answers. Bai Xiaosheng began to feign ignorance, muttering, "Fortune telling, fortune telling, don't blame me if it's inaccurate."

"My Queen, we should leave now."

Shangguan Huan shouted, "Since Bai Xiaosheng has said so much, asking any further questions will be pointless."

Wind Lingxi responded and put down the silver, then left with Shangguan Huan.

"Shangguan, you said this Qinghe matter can't be investigated at all"

"It probably can't be found."

Shangguan Huan said in a low voice, “Your Highness, please put your heart at ease and let go of this matter. I think what Bai Xiaosheng said implies that there may be many changes in the mansion recently, Your Highness should be more careful.”

Feng Lingxi nodded. What she said was naturally clear, and she hadn't missed it either.

But she was not quite satisfied. The Qinghe matter remained unclear, and she couldn't account for it to Zhang You. As just a village woman, things had become muddled and confusing. She really wanted to know who was behind all this.

Back at the main residence, Feng Lingxi saw a palanquin at the gate. She walked over, and the woman inside came out. It was Shu Taifei, with two stunning women by her side, dressed in luxurious clothes that were no worse than her usual attire as a princess.

"Shu Taifei found me"

Feng Lingxi walked past, looking at the two beauties beside her. Her gaze swept over them. Were they here to flaunt themselves before her, having selected two more concubines

"These two are concubines chosen by the empress for the young prince. The empress asks that you send the young prince back to the county office and not keep him here. He is the empress's son."

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but laugh out loud and turned to look at Shu Taifei.

"Concubine Shu, your words are quite interesting. He did not spend the night at my residence last night, and furthermore, where is your son Why would Concubine Shu come to me looking for him"

“Feng Ling Xi, do you think that just because you are the Sacred Master of the Yao Clan, you can do whatever you want You keep Cheng'er here, thinking he'll stay with you. I tell you, I have given him over twenty wives, both as Queen Consort and concubine. They are all more suitable for Cheng'er than you are. Return him to me.”

Shutai was furious. She believed that Cheng'er's reluctance to return was all due to Feng Lingxi. If it weren't for her, Cheng'er would never have stayed here for her. She had chosen so many beautiful women for him; Cheng'er wouldn't dislike them.

"Consort Shu, you know that Dugu City is your son, not mine. So you should know he listens to you and not me. If you truly want him back, then you figure out a way yourself. Also, about all those beauties you've chosen for him, have you thoroughly checked their backgrounds and origins Don't go leaving a bunch of trouble behind that would harm Dugu City and ultimately harm yourself."g Lingxi""Do you really think Feng Lingxi is that foolish I challenged her, would she actually accept With the Four Kings backing her, she definitely won't perform this time.
