n is the one that Ah Yu lost. If we can’t get it back, Ah Yu will be in trouble.”"How could the Third Prince's token be lost, and why would it be on a black-clothed person"“This is also what Ah Yu and...When Empress Cen heard this, she thought to herself, it made sense. Princess Yao Hua was after all the princess of the Aohua Dynasty. This Prince Huangfu Ying had always treasured her like a precious jewel, keeping her hidden away. If not for this marriage proposal, she wouldn't even have known that the Aohua Dynasty still had a princess.

For this reason, she went to check on the matter personally and learned that this young woman was a notorious poisoner. She was willful and domineering, and her martial arts skills were not weak. Besides, she liked to test people with poison whenever she had nothing better to do. If she were to enter the palace, it would be disastrous.

"Mother, you wouldn't want the harem to be filled with smoke and haze, would you"

Dugu Yan reminded, now this inner palace is already chaotic enough, and with another Princess Yao Hua added, he didn't believe the Empress Dowager could stand it.

"Just do it as the Emperor wishes. This consort is rather tired, you should handle this matter with full authority."

The Empress Dowager Cen seemed very weary and was willing to let go of the matter. She only cared about Zi Xing, as for Yao Hua Princess who was a relative, she didn't want to involve herself too much.

"Mother, rest well. I shall attend to this immediately."

After Dugu Yan left, she instructed her people, "Relay my decree: If the Fourth Prince desires Feng Lingxi, return to the capital swiftly."

Linxi County

Dugu Cheng arranged his mother concubine to rest in the city. Looking at his unwilling mother concubine, Dugu Cheng felt guilty.

"Mother, since you are safe and well, and near Linxi County, why haven't you come to see your son"

Shufei looked at him with a puzzled expression and glared at him impatiently, "What do you want I finally got out of the palace, enjoying my rare freedom. Why would I get involved in this imperial harem intrigue Besides, your father emperor is gone, and I'm happy to live freely by myself."

"Mother," Dugu Cheng said with a sigh, facing his mischievous mother.

"If you want to be free, here you can still be."

"Just like this, and still able to be so free" The Consort pointed at the maidservants filling the room.

Dugu Cheng was embarrassed by his mother's question, "It's all for your safety."

Shufei looked at his worried expression and asked, "Where is Xi'er Why isn't she with you"

"Xier has returned to the capital from Huangxia. Now that the emperor has sent several imperial edicts asking his son to return, mother concubine, why don't you return to the capital with your son"

Shufeng's displeasure vanished, replaced by a faint sadness. Thinking about the palace, she truly didn't want to return in her lifetime. However, if she didn't go back, Xi'er would never be able to clear her name of poisoning the former emperor.

"Er'lang, your mother asks you a question. If your mother asked you to bring down Du Gu Yan and make you emperor, would you be willing"

Suddenly asked this way, Dugu City was a little puzzled, "Mother concubine, if you want your son to be emperor, your son will listen to your mother concubine."

"Your mother doesn't want you to become emperor, but your father died unjustly. When he died, he told your mother that he wanted you to be emperor and bring down Empress Cen. Your father had several sons. Although Dugu Yan is the crown prince, he has always been Empress Cen's puppet. Dugu Xiu is ruthless and cruel. After the third prince was exiled, he never set foot in the capital. The fifth prince is frail and sickly, and he won't live for many years. If you don't become emperor, your mother will have no reason to stay."

"Mother, let's go back and overthrow Empress Dowager Cen. As for the throne, if there is a suitable candidate, we will put them forward. If not, your son will follow the wishes of our late father and become emperor."

He's never been interested in the throne, but to protect his mother and Xi'er, why not sit on it for a while

Shufei saw his resolute eyes and nodded.

Since you've made your decision, then this Empress Dowager will accompany you back to the capital. However, you must be mentally prepared, this time going back, the capital is no longer as it once was.

"Mother, please rest assured, your son understands."

The Consort Shu sighed, she didn't want to get involved in this dispute, but ultimately she couldn't escape this fate.

The Imperial Post Station of the Yuan Dynasty Capital

Feng Lingxi wore a pink long dress, dressed as a princess, and with a veil covering her face in the inn. Over the past two days, people from the palace had come to peek at her, luckily she was prepared. She covered half her face and disguised Xiao Li, changing her appearance. To outsiders, Xiao Li looked like a complete stranger.

And besides her eyes, who could recognize that she was Feng Lingxi

Moreover, Huangfu Qingyun's love for her was evident to all. In the eyes of outsiders, she was just Huang Xia Chao's willful and spoiled princess Yao Hua.

"Imperial brother, when will Dugu City return to the capital"

She had been in the capital for two days, yet Du Gu Cheng hadn't arrived. Could it be that he didn't know she had been bestowed the title of Yao Hua Princess and was returning to marry him

Huángfǔ Qīngyún sat opposite her, looking at the palace maidservant attending them, and said with a smile, "Yáo huá, you are a princess after all, pay attention to your image."

"I don't care, I came here to marry him. If he doesn't come back, this princess won't marry."

Feng Lingxi acted out the spoiled and willful nature of her little princess to perfection. Didn't these people just want to see the true character of their princess Then she would certainly put on a good show, letting them know how difficult she was to deal with.

"Ahem, Yao Hua, show some restraint."

Huangpu Qingyun coughed lightly and looked at the palace servants beside her. Feng Lingxi complained unhappily, "Anyway, this princess is going to marry the God of War. If Du Gucheng refuses to marry, this princess will..."

Feng Lingxi looked at the few people from the palace, angrily got up, "Ali, go and refine poison."

Huangfu Qingyun shook her head helplessly and indulgently, muttering to herself, "I don't even know how your father spoiled you into this."

The palace people beside her exchanged glances, their covert communication not escaping Huangfu Qingyun's eyes. She raised her teacup, taking a sip, a smile playing on her lips that was difficult to decipher.

Inside the palace, hearing the result reported by the arranged person, Empress Cen's forehead bulged with blue veins. As expected, her investigation was correct. This Xia Xia, the little imperial consort, had truly been brought into the palace. Who knew when she would be poisoned to death

“Your Majesty, a messenger from the relay station reported that this morning, Princess Yaohua had her maidservant so tormented, she was vomiting and experiencing severe illness. It seems she is truly willful.”

"Didn't the Crown Prince say anything about her"

It is said that she was scolded, and as a result, Princess Yao Hua calmed down for a moment. She then got half the lives of her guards. An insider inquired privately, saying that Princess Yao Hua poisoned people, not often causing deaths, just making a fuss, and they were all used to it.

Holding her teacup, ready to sip, Empress Cen was nearly speechless. Such a princess! If she entered the palace, would she expect everyone else to adapt to her whims The last sliver of hope she had about taking her in completely vanished.

Empress Cen set down her teacup, “Has there been any news from the Fourth Prince”

"Already on the way back to Beijing."

Queen Cen nodded, "We need to find a way to keep Princess Yaohua quiet. Otherwise, how will Dugu City ever marry her"

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

Feng Linglong and Feng Yu Xi came together. The Empress Dowager looked at the two sisters, her brow furrowed.e said, “The Empress Dowager has always been very fond of the Fourth Princess Consort. Her character, I had heard about it before entering the palace. Your Majesty, I believe her, she is definitely no...
