nly then did he pull his gaze back and look at Wind Lingxi, his eyes softening."Some trivial matters, let's eat first."Dugu Cheng grabbed her wrist and walked into the dining hall, others followed slo...Dugu Xiu looked at the retreating soldiers, drew his sword and pointed it at General Li, provocatively looking at Feng Lingxi, "This king wants to see what the Fourth Princess is capable of."

Xiaoli stepped forward, but was held back by Feng Lingxi, who signaled her not to act rashly.

"Sixth Prince, are you trying to make an enemy of the Fourth Prince"

General Li looked at Dugu Xiu without fear. Even though his sword was pointed at him, he knew that if Dugu Xiu made a move, he would die at his hands. However, he believed that Dugu Xiu wouldn't dare to kill him.

Dugu Xiu let out a cold snort, raising his sword to General Li's neck. With just a slight push, a thin line of blood trickled down General Li's throat. Even so, General Li didn't flinch, not even a hint of pain on his brow. It was Feng Lingxi who was furious at Dugu Xiu's actions.

To acquiesce unconditionally, Dugu Xiu is indeed taking advantage of the situation.

"Dugu Xiu, do you know why the Empress Dowager sent me and Dugu Cheng here The command of your 500,000 troops is now in Dugu Cheng's hands. If you kill General Li, you should know what that means."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Dugu Xiu's face to change slightly. He turned to look at Feng Yixuan beside him.

"She's telling the truth, isn't she This king's military power is all in Dugu City's hands"

Feng Yixuan nodded at Dugu Xiu's questioning gaze, "This is the Emperor's order. He said that the Fourth Prince came to rescue the prince, so he handed over his military power to the Fourth Prince."

"Damn it."

Dugu Xiu roared in anger, Dugu Yan had actually handed over the military power to Dugu Cheng! Did he still want to keep his throne

Fool, no wonder you're just a puppet emperor even after sitting on the throne, you're really useless.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince, please don't be angry. Now that you are back, the military power should rightfully return to you."

Feng Yixuan reminded, if they can't get this military power back, what do they have left here

Feng Lingxi sneered, "Given the current situation, I would like to ask the Sixth Prince, why did Dugu City return the military power to you The Empress Dowager and the Emperor never said they were going to return this military power to you."

Dugu Xiu glared at her angrily, clenching his fists. The fury in his eyes didn't intimidate Feng Lingxi at all. To her, Dugu Xiu, without military power, was just a nominal king. Moreover, the military power was in their hands, and the Yao clan was nearby. Even if Dugu Xiu had some ability, could he really turn against her

"Feng Lingxi, you're ruthless!"

Dugu Xiu took Feng Yixuan away. General Li hurried to Feng Lingxi's side, looking at Dugu Xiu who was leaving, his eyes full of worry, "Your Highness, for this general, I have offended the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince will definitely not let it go. Your Highness, be careful."

"What are you afraid of The military power is now in our hands. If we don't take this opportunity to crush his morale, will we just let him bully us"

Feng Ling Xi retracted her gaze, looking at the blood seeping out from General Li's neck, and said to Xiao Li beside her, "Later, get some medicine for General Li to apply, so that the wound won't become infected."

"This injury doesn't matter, Your Highness. Why did you go to Tianqi Country without even telling me I could have protected you."

This time, if he didn't have military power in his grasp, if the Princess had an accident, he truly didn't know how to explain it to His Royal Highness.

"I wanted to send a letter, but the guard was really strict and wouldn't let me in. However, it wasn't a complete waste of time as I got something out of it."

Feng Lingxi took the lead toward the military tent, “By the way, General Li, is there any news about the Fourth Prince When will he be back”

"Reporting to the Princess, there's still no word from the King. This subordinate has sent reinforcements, and with the King's wisdom, nothing will befall him."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Wait for him to come back and let me know. I'll properly greet Dugu Xiu and send him back to the capital."

"Your Highness, if this Sixth Prince returns to the capital, when the Emperor and Empress Dowager find out, you're afraid you'll be blamed again."

Feng Lingxi frowned. If Dugu Xiu went back, he would surely gossip to the Empress Dowager and Dugu Yan, plotting against her and Dugu Cheng. That wouldn't be good for them at all. It was better for him to stay here. Even Cen Taizu, a shrewd woman, might already know about Dugu Xiu’s return. It seemed she had to prepare for her return to the Yao Clan.

As Feng Lingxi had guessed, the next day, Dugu Xiu came to her with an imperial decree, demanding she surrender her military power and accompany him to the Yao tribe to retrieve the treasure. Feng Lingxi looked at the imperial decree issued by Empress Cen, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Fourth Princess Consort, receive the imperial decree."

Dugu Xiu glared coldly at Feng Lingxi, seeing her expressionless face, his tone slightly cold, "What, Fourth Princess Consort, this is not wanting to hand over military power"

"I dare ask, Sixth Prince, even if I accept this imperial edict, what use will it be Has the Emperor given me military command Am I the commander of these three armies" Feng Lingxi's series of questions made Dugu Xiu furious. Before he could speak, Feng Lingxi continued, "Since the military power is not in my hands, can this imperial edict allow you to obtain military power, Sixth Prince Since you can't obtain it, why not wait for Dugu Cheng to return and give it to him"

“So, when is he coming back As the commander of the three armies, it's unbecoming for him to leave camp without authorization.”

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering glance. "If it weren't for avenging the Sixth Prince, would he dare to go out"

"When did I ask him to avenge me"

Windling listened to his cold, hard tone, her gaze sweeping over the imperial edict in his hand. "When he returns, I'll tell him. The Sixth Prince has just returned and his body is still recovering. He should be resting well in the camp."

"My wounds have healed, you only need to tell me the whereabouts of Dugucheng, and I will find him."

"Didn't I tell you, I went to get revenge for you Wherever the Sixth Prince was taken, that's where I went."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and ignored him, whether he was happy or not. She continued to study the powdered medicine on the table. Seeing this, Dugu Xiu angrily stepped forward and pushed all the powdered medicine off her table. The powder scattered across the floor. Dugu Xiu glared at her, "Feng Lingxi, is this how you speak to this King Don't forget your own status..."

"Sixth Prince, do you know what this powder is"

Feng Lingxi slapped Du Gu Xiu's face with a cold expression, her eyes filled with anger. She advanced and slapped him hard, turning his face ashen. He pointed at her, gritting his teeth, "You dare to hit this king Come here, grab Feng Lingxi and bring her to me. Reward her to the soldiers in the camp!"

"Who dares to touch the Princess!"

General Li led his soldiers in, drew his sword, and pointed it at Dugu Xiu, completely disregarding Dugu Xiu's status as a prince.

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Xiu's furious face and said to Feng Yixuan beside her, "Quickly take him back to the military doctor. Otherwise, if he dies from the poison, don't blame me."

"What did you say"

When Dugu Xiu heard the word "poisoned," he rushed to Feng Lingxi's face, but his head suddenly spun, and his steps staggered, almost falling to the ground. Feng YiXuan hurriedly supported him, anxiously shouting, "Sixth Prince, she said you were poisoned."

"There are still six hours of time. If the poison can't be cured, then prepare for your funeral."

Feng Lingxi looked at the medicinal powder on the ground and gave a faint instruction, "Go get some water to sprinkle on top and sweep it clean."d clothes under the bed, looking at Tian Xiaomi."Write a letter to your mother."Tian Xiaomǐ glanced at the bloodstained clothes under the bed, then reacted, "You mean, putting the letter in the clothe...
