rest well in Shou'an Palace and not go anywhere else."I know, Grandmother Zhang, you can rest assured."Wind Lingxi assured, then Zhang Mama finally left.Phoenix HallFeng Yu Xi looked at Feng Ling Lon..."Yuner, this Fourth Royal Concubine is unforgettable at a glance. If you want to learn, you'll have to put in a lot of effort."

The Empress spoke to Shen Yun, her tone immediately softening. Shen Yun blushed, "Of course this concubine will follow the Fourth Princess's lead and learn from her. I just don't know if the Fourth Princess would find me clumsy."

"Concubine Shen is jesting. Concubine Shen has a solid foundation, I've merely dabbled in the surface level, naturally I can't compare to Concubine Shen."

Shen Yun stood up and walked in front of her, helping her to stand up. Feng Lingxi, however, showed no intention of getting up. The Empress was furious. If she got up, she would expose herself, and later on, she would have a hard time.

"Get up, Your Highness. If the Emperor found out, he'd think I was bullying you and scold me again."

Feng Lingxi's face changed slightly, standing there without a word.

She wouldn't say it, couldn't say it. That was her survival rule, after all, in this palace where three women were a drama and they were all waiting for her to jump right into their midst. If she wasn't careful, wouldn't that just play into their hands

"Why is the Fourth Princess so silent today Could it be that seeing Yuer makes her unwilling to speak close to her mother"

"She's doing this because of Miss Yun, she's doing this for me, her elder sister. After all, she still hates that I killed the Sixth Princess."

It's starting, this call and response, they're going to start ganging up on her.

"Imperial Concubine Feng, Imperial Concubine Shen, this servant concubine has no unwillingness to be close with the Empress. It's just…"

Feng Lingxi hung her head low, looking extremely embarrassed. This made the Empress frown, visibly displeased.

"Fourth Royal Wife, why are you so troubled Could it be that you find this Palace is troubling you"

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I meant no disrespect. It's just that my family recently held a funeral, and I'm still in mourning. I fear bringing bad luck if I speak too much and defile the Feng Yi Hall."

Feng Lingxi, after finishing her words, saw the obvious change in the expressions of the three women. She continued, "Today, I went to pay my respects at a funeral. On the way there, some strange things happened. The Empress summoned me, and I dared not disobey. So I bathed and changed clothes, hoping to wash away the bad luck."

Upon hearing this, the Empress recalled what she was about to report today and asked in a deep voice, "Is what the Fourth Princess said about the Sixth Princess faking her death"

Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress, "Today is my second sister's burial day. A coroner with a team of men arrived, claiming to be acting on orders, and demanded to open the coffin for an autopsy along the way. I hurried over to stop them from disturbing my second sister's rest, but I couldn't resist them, so I let them open the coffin. Unexpectedly, as soon as the coffin was opened, a cold wind blew in, and my second sister's eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at them. The coroner said he wanted to perform an autopsy, and my second sister suddenly jumped up from the coffin with a whoosh. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a strange thing could happen."

Feng Linglong listened to her words, her mind filled with what she said. Fear ran down her spine, and she felt a chill.

"What the Fourth Princess said was so frightening, like she was performing a play. Look at how Sister Feng is scared."

Shen Yun said with a pained expression, Feng Linglong's face turned pale. Of all of them here, Feng Linglong was the most afraid. This executioner, if she weren't even a little scared, it would truly be a miracle.

"As a servant, I shouldn't speak of such supernatural things. However, I witnessed it with my own eyes and don't wish to bring bad luck upon the Phoenix Pavilion."

"Whose orders did the coroner act on to perform the autopsy"

"He just said he was obeying orders, and didn't say who gave them. The coroner fainted right there. I and the Fourth Prince woke him up. When he saw Second Sister sitting up, he fainted again. Luckily, those guards knelt down and kowtowed, so Second Sister finally closed her eyes and went back to sleep."

Feng Lingxi's words were detailed and vivid, like a captivating story. They were both fascinating and shocking.

The Empress had also been skeptical about this matter. Now, hearing what Feng Lingxi said, she couldn't help but glance at the curtains. She felt a gust of wind passing by, which made her shiver.

Feng Linglong's palms were sweating, as if she could see Lingyu's eyes filled with hatred staring at her again, as if they were about to get up and devour her.

"Wind Side Concubine, elder sister dreamt of me last night and asked me to tell you a word."

Feng Linglong stiffened all over, the sweat on her forehead becoming more and more pronounced.

"What did she say to you"

Feng Linglong's voice began to tremble. Feng Lingxi's words were so detailed, she was really scared. Such an eerie thing, she didn't want to encounter it at all.

"Your Majesty, if I were to speak, would you grant me forgiveness"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly knelt down. The Empress looked at Feng Linglong and said faintly, "You speak, this palace will pardon you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Lingxi then got up and looked at Feng Linglong, "Concubine Feng Ce, my second sister told me to tell you that she will return to your side."

"No, impossible!"

Feng Linglong screamed, jumped up, her whole body trembling with fear. She forced down her terror and glared at Feng Lingxi, "She's dead, how could she possibly come back"

"That's what Second Sister said, she just asked me to tell you."

Feng Linglong hurriedly shook her head, frightened into a cold sweat. The sweat even soaked her hair.

Could it be that the Sixth Royal Consort wishes to reincarnate as the child in her sister's womb

Shen Yun looked at Feng Linglong's pregnant belly and muttered softly. When Feng Linglong heard this, she touched her belly, held her head, and cried out in horror, "No, it's impossible."

"Come, help Consort Feng to her feet and have Imperial Physician Wang take a look at her."

"Consort Feng, don't be agitated. It's just a dream sent by the deceased, nothing more. Some believe it, some don't. Take care of your health."

Feng Ling xi counseled, looking at Feng Linglong's almost collapsing expression, there was no pity in her eyes.

"Fourth Princess, is that all you came here to say" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Feng Lingxi hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant knows she was wrong."

"Mother, Your servant thinks what the Fourth Princess said makes sense. There's proof of it if you believe, no proof if you don't. What if this is something done by someone"

Feng Lingxi lowered her head and explained, "I don't know if Shen Feifei has ever heard the saying that all things have spirits. This talk of ghosts and gods is indeed unbelievable, but if it were seen with one's own eyes, who would be willing to believe these inexplicable things."

Feng Lingxi’s words caused Shen Yun's face to change slightly. Just as she was about to explain, Feng Lingxi continued, "If Consort Shen doesn't believe it, you could ask the guards who were with the coroner. Not only them, but also those in the Prince Si's funeral procession saw it. These things, though unbelievable, truly happened."

Enough!

The Empress spoke in a low, menacing voice, “Fourth Royal Wife, this Palace does not wish to speak of the Sixth Royal Wife with you today. I only want to ask you for something.”

Feng Ling Xi responded and fell silent.

"This palace has heard that your mother possesses something called 'Purple Star'. Do you know about it"hed red with anger at Feng Yu Xi's words. She raised her trembling hand, but Feng Yu Xi grabbed her wrist, warning her fiercely, "Oh, you think you can still do anything to me now Everything you've lo...
