rdship. She who once possessed such fragility, now bore only the weight of repression and a hint of killing intent in her eyes."Arsenic."Feng Lingxi walked to her, looking at her arm stained red with..."Your Majesty seems to have forgotten, my relationship with Feng Aotian has been severed. I returned to General's Manor to visit my grandfather. What does it have to do with the manor itself"

"Honor and disgrace, advance and retreat, you surely know these things"

Feng Yu Xi stared into Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes, seeing the coldness within. She continued, "You can resent your father for what he did to you, but don't forget, the future of this General's Mansion will also belong to Feng Yu Mo. If you help the General's Mansion, his future will be bright."

Feng Ling Xi burst into laughter upon hearing this.

After a burst of laughter, her beautiful eyes turned cold as she looked at Feng Yu Xi, "What a joke! Yu Mo was sent out of the General's Mansion since childhood. What qualifications does she have to inherit it Besides, Feng Yi Hao is still alive. Even if the General's Mansion has a new owner in the future, it will belong to Feng Yi Hao. Your Majesty said so, did she not"

As evening arrived, the wind and rain caused Feng Yu's face to change color abruptly. Feng Yihao had always lived an inconspicuous life, never wanting to stand out and be targeted by Feng Lingxi. Feng Yixuan's 'death' made her realize the importance of concealing Feng Yihao and protecting her younger brother. However, it seemed that wasn't the case now.

Feng Lingxi knew the situation of the General's Mansion from beginning to end, and she was even more familiar with every move she made.

Feng Lingxi stared at her, never forgetting the incident of pushing her off a cliff. She hadn't made a move, not because she had forgotten or forgiven, but because she had never found the right time for revenge.

At this moment, Feng Yu Xi was a little scared. She wasn't the same as she used to be; she had a child in her belly now, and she had something to hold onto.

Even if Feng Lingxi wouldn't kill her children, she couldn't guarantee that Feng Lingxi wouldn't target Yi Hao.

"The Empress truly thinks a lot, and that's to be expected of a pregnant woman. I understand. However, let me remind Your Majesty, having a child in the harem is a great blessing. If the Dowager Empress knew, there would be many benefits. The Empress should weigh her options carefully."

"With this, you won't help, right"

Under the gathering storm, Feng Yu was on high alert as he gazed at Feng Ling Xi. The killing intent in his eyes caused Feng Ling Xi to laugh.

"Your Majesty, I am only here on duty. It is my responsibility to provide an honest diagnosis. As for your petty thoughts, I advise you to keep them in check and avoid harming innocent people." Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, but the smile on her face was like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing through one's body and striking straight at their heart.

"Well then, there's nothing more to be said between us."

Feng Ling Xi got up and walked to Feng Yu Xi's side. She leaned down beside her ear, curled her lips, and whispered softly, "Your Majesty the Empress, everyone has a soft spot, I have one, and so do you."

After finishing his words, he gracefully departed, leaving Yu Xi standing alone in the rain and wind. She was so angry that her whole body trembled.

Feng Lingxi exited the Phoenix Hall, the smile on her lips disappearing. As she looked at Zhang Mamu approaching her, Feng Lingxi restrained her expression. Zhang Mamu stepped forward and glanced back at the Phoenix Hall. "Fourth Princess, how is the Empress's condition"

"That's good."

Feng Lingxi revealed a smile, looking at the beads of sweat on Zhang Mamá's forehead, and softly said, "Zhang Mamá, have you been out"

"I went out for a bit, and now I'm back to take Fourth Royal Consort back to Shou'an Palace."

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Zhang."

Feng Lingxi smiled, nodded, and looked at Zhang Mamā's labored breathing. She took out her handkerchief and offered it to her. Zhang Mamā dared not accept it and hurriedly took out her own handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her brow, repeatedly thanking her.

"Grandma Zhang, I have something I want to ask you, but I don't know if you can tell me."

Grandma Zhang's expression immediately changed, and she said respectfully, "Fourth Princess, please don't be so polite. If you have anything, just ask."

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhang Mama's slightly flustered expression. She probably thought she was going to ask her where she had just gone, which is why she was so nervous, right

I would like to ask Zhang Mama about Empress Dowager's recent condition over the past few months, such as her diet, daily routine, and usual places she goes.

Grandmother Zhang's expression was clearly taken aback, perhaps she didn't expect Feng Lingxi to ask her these questions.

"I'm not very clear about the Empress's situation. Over these past few months, the Empress has mostly stayed in the palace, rarely visiting the Imperial Gardens. She's been staying in the Phoenix Pavilion. As for her diet and daily routines, I have heard that she prefers light flavors."

"The taste is light."

This is quite like how a woman in early pregnancy should be, avoiding the garden to prevent people from discovering her morning sickness.

"Thank you, Grandma Zhang."

Feng Lingxi bowed in thanks, and Zhang Mama curiously asked, “Fourth Princess is being polite. I wonder why you asked about the Empress”

"It's nothing, I just wanted to check on Her Majesty the Queen. I heard she hasn't stopped speaking well of me these days. As sisters, it's natural to look out for each other." Feng Lingxi said this so convincingly that Zhang Mama almost believed her.

On this day, who doesn't know that the Fourth Princess and the other sisters of the General’s Manor are at odds Who doesn't know that the Empress pushed her into a chasm of despair How ironic it is for these own sisters.

Upon returning to Shou'an Palace, Feng Lingxi saw the empress dowager's concerned gaze. She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Queen is in good health and is already three months pregnant."

"What!"

Cen Taihou's face was full of shock, her eyes questioning Feng Lingxi. "Three months pregnant Is this true"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Zhang Mama who was equally shocked beside her. She smiled and said, "The Empress worried about the fetus being unstable so she didn't tell the Empress Dowager. But now the fetus is safe and sound, I think the Empress also intends to inform the Empress Dowager."

After a long pause, Empress Cen finally digested the news, her face breaking into a smile.

"This Empress is indeed very good at keeping secrets. She concealed such a joyful event from me, but she did well. The stable fetus in her womb tells me so. It's better this way, lest those with ill intentions seize the opportunity."

Feng Lingxi nodded in agreement. That statement wasn't false.

It is indeed not easy for the children in this harem to be born safely.

The Empress Dowager looked at Feng Ling Xi and suddenly asked, “Now that the Empress is pregnant, when will you also have a child This Dugu City is already twenty-five or six years old, and it’s time to have an heir.”

Feng Lingxi's expression stiffened. How did she end up here again

"Empress Dowager, since my body has not yet conceived, it's best to let things take their natural course."

Everyone outside wants to kill her, but Empress Cen might think, at this time, being pregnant will make things even worse for her.

However, children will be born, it's just a matter of time.

"Your Majesty, it is time for dinner."

Grandma Zhang shouted, Empress Cen asked Feng Lingxi to accompany her for a meal, and then she sent Grandma Zhang out of the palace.

The biggest gain from entering the palace today is learning that Feng Yu Xi is pregnant.

Feng Lingxi had kept her affair with Feng Yu Xi a secret for three months, which was quite unexpected. After leaving the palace, she saw Du Gu Cheng waiting for her and quickly walked towards him.

"Have you been waiting long"

With such scorching heat, the sweat beading on his forehead as he worked outside made Feng Lingxi feel guilty.

“I should have let you go back earlier.”

Dugu Cheng reached out and brushed the hair from her forehead, his voice soft. "Soon, as long as I can bring Xi'er back to the house, anything is worth it."this palace will certainly hear them. However, if the Empress were to hear them, it would surely cause quite a stir.""The Empress has arrived!"Outside the hall came a voice, Mo Huai Lan's face darkene...
