the Empress blaming the King"Feng Lingxi shook her head, "My fate is like this. Even without a matchmaker, someone else might make a move. This time I was careless and didn't discover it until now. I...Feng Yixuan's face changed drastically, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Feng Lingxi, his voice laced with a hint of fear. "Fourth Royal Highness, you can't say this. I have never thought about the position of eldest son, nor would my older sister dare to covet the Empress's position. Please, Fourth Royal Highness, spare me."

Feng Lingxi stepped forward and helped him up. Looking into his eyes filled with fear, he didn't even dare to meet her gaze.

"Fifth brother, what are you doing Did elder sister not tell you, the other day the Empress Dowager asked me who was more suitable for the position of Empress. I recommended her and also helped to reduce Feng Yuxi's rank to a Jieyu."

Feng Yixuan naturally knew about this, but Feng Yu Xi quickly became Empress Xi again, and was showered with the emperor's favor. The news he received indicated that Feng Yu Xi was the chosen one to be empress.

The more Feng Lingxi pushed her elder sister to the brink of danger, the more impossible it became for her to become empress. In fact, her elder sister could even die because of this.

"The Fourth Princess' kindness to her elder sister, the General is most grateful for. However, the position of Empress is not suitable for her elder sister, so I beg the Fourth Princess to please refrain from recommending her. As a daughter born outside of wedlock, how can she be compared to the noble Consort Xi, a legitimate daughter"

Feng Lingxi only just heard the meaning behind his words. This wind and rain restored Xi Hui's status as a noble consort, and now she was probably in a stable position within the palace. She sold her mother's news to Dugu Yan in exchange for the position of noble consort, and it would probably be hot for a while.

"Fifth brother, are you blaming me for not handling the matter with Empress Xi well" Feng Lingxi sighed softly, "Feng Yu Xi has some skills. I almost died at her hands before. Now that she has the Emperor's backing, I'm afraid I can't help Elder Sister."

Feng Lingxi feigned helplessness, and Feng Yixuan saw through her expression. Although he knew she was insincere, he couldn't refute her.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought this up. Please forgive me, Your Highness. As a punishment, I will drink three cups to atone for my sins."

Feng Yixuan had drunk three cups of wine in succession. Feng Lingxi wanted to stop him, but watched as he finished them all before hurriedly saying, "Fifth brother, we are all family. It was all sister Si who didn't do well. You don't have to blame her. Don't say things like apologizing."

Feng Yixuan listened to her cling to him like this, pulling them together. He felt a deep disgust in his heart and disliked being called "Fifth Brother" by her. Thinking about how the previous waste had addressed him like that, he felt it was humiliating.

"The last general remembered."

Feng Lingxi saw the forbearance in his eyes, poured him a cup of wine, and said with a smile, "Dugu City told me you have something to tell me, is there anything you need my help with"

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Yixuan's eyes hesitate, and spoke, "Xi'er, don't talk about these things during meals. After dinner, you and Yixuan can speak privately."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yixuan's expression and feigned realization, "I understand."

Seeing the mysterious expressions on the couple, as if what Feng Yi-Xuan was about to tell Feng Ling-Xi was something they couldn't bear to be seen, his expression was very impatient.

"Fourth Master, this subordinate's visit to Fourth Madam is actually nothing major. There's just one thing I want to ask Fourth Madam about, regarding my second sister. I wonder if Fourth Madam could tell me."

"What do you want to know"

Feng Ling Xi's smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she suddenly asked about Feng Ling Yu. Could Feng Yi Xuan have found out about the existence of arsenic

When your second older sister died, did you really save her Is she still alive

Feng Yixuan looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, full of anxiety. That hopeful gaze caused Feng Lingxi's eyes to sink.

"Your second sister is dead. It was your elder sister and the Sixth Prince who killed her with their own hands. You must have heard about this."

But they all say that you have the skill to revive the dead. Couldn't you save her

Feng Yixuan's questioning tone made Feng Lingxi's brows furrow, and her voice turned a few degrees colder.

“Who told you I have the skill to bring people back from the dead Feng Lingyu's wound is in her heart, almost piercing through it. Don't even mention me, not even a Great Luo immortal could save her.”

There are no more Wind Spirits and Jade in this world. She saved poison, but was betrayed in the end.

"Could it really be Big Sister's doing"

Feng Yixuan looked at Feng Lingxi, the disbelief in his eyes made Feng Lingxi's expression even colder. "You can ask your father about this, he knows best."

"It was Dad who told me, you saved Second Sister, and Second Sister is still alive."

Feng Yixuan clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi, hoping to see her nod.

But the coldness in Feng Lingxi's eyes pierced his heart.

"Has your father told you what happened to your mother"

"My mother committed suicide..."

"Your mother didn't commit suicide, go check it yourself."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yixuan. After the polite words were finished, her tone became sharp and she reminded him, "I think of you still remembering your sister, so I'll remind you: don't ruin your bright future because of temporary greed."

"If it wasn't suicide, then how did she die"

Feng Yixuan was a little excited and wanted to ask for clarification, but Feng Lingxi's cold gaze stopped him.

"Feng Yixuan, I ask you, did you steal the explosives I made and give them to the Tianqi Nation"

The sudden question caused Feng Yixuan's expression to change drastically, his flickering eyes making Feng Lingxi's gaze even sharper, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts through his eyes. Feng Yixuan felt a panic in his heart under her intense stare.

Even so, Feng Yixuan quickly adjusted his emotions and met her gaze.

"Your Highness, is this your way of trying to frame me and get me sentenced"

“My men saw you transporting goods into the borders of Tianqi Nation, Feng Yixuan. Conspiring with a hostile nation is treason, a crime punishable by extermination of your entire clan…”

"Fourth Princess!"

Feng Yi Xuan's voice was too high, his eyes cold as he questioned, "Is it in your eyes that anyone you deem guilty is guilty You say I colluded with the Tian Qi nation, treasonous crime. What evidence do you have Just because someone saw me, does that make me guilty"

Facing his cold and sharp gaze, Feng Lingxi realized just how ruthless he was.

"The crime of slaughtering nine clans, have you thought this through carefully"

"If you want to find fault with someone, there will never be a lack of excuses. The Fourth Princess insists on pinning this blame on me. I'm sorry, but I dare not eat this meal and must take my leave!"

Feng Yi-Xuan turned and left, but the soldiers at the gate drew their swords and pointed them at his neck, blocking his path.

"How so, Your Grace Are you trying to kill me and pin the crime of treason on my corpse"

"Let him go."

Feng Ling Xi spoke, watching Feng Yi Xuan's departing figure, and coldly reminded him, "Your nine clans have nothing to do with me."

Feng Yixuan's footsteps came to a halt, but he didn't turn around. He couldn't help but wonder what she meant by that.

"Think of your siblings, this is my last warning to you."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and shouted in a stern voice, "Escort the guest!"

Feng Yixuan left without looking back. Dugucheng looked at Feng Lingxi, whose face was cold with anger. Seeing that she was quite upset, he comforted her, "Even if you want to give him a chance out of kindness, he won't appreciate it. He will even think you are jealous of him. Why bother"thing from her. Guli girl, please don't say any more."Xiao Li gave Gulì a wink. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what the Princess had said. If it were the Princess's temper from back th...
