lped the princess put it on. “Your Highness, this servant dares to ask you a question, are you willing to hand over the king to that Luo County Princess”"Of course not, unless Dugu City is willing to...Feng Linglong's face flushed red and then pale, meeting Feng Lingxi's smile on her lips. She clenched her handkerchief tightly, feeling a chill run down her spine. Had Feng Lingxi started to pick on her

She can't act like Feng Yu Xi, she can't offend Feng Ling Xi.

"Lady Long, why are you silent Could it be that, as the Fourth Princess claimed, you desire the position of Empress"

Feng Linglong hurriedly knelt down, her eyes full of panic. "Your Majesty is wise, I have never had such thoughts. I was just afraid of saying the wrong thing and making Your Majesty and the Fourth Princess unhappy. I failed to answer the Fourth Princess's question in time, please forgive me."

Feng Linglong's words eased the Empress Dowager's expression considerably.

"It seems I'm not very good at talking and scared my older sister. Well, let me apologize to her."

Feng Lingxi got up and walked in front of Feng Linglong. She reached out her hand, which startled Feng Linglong so much that she was at a loss. This frightened look of a little deer made Feng Lingxi frown involuntarily, "Sister, are you blaming me for what I just said, unwilling to forgive me"

Feng Linglong hurriedly shook her head, "No, I..."

"Since the Fourth Princess said so, you may get up."

Then Empress Cen spoke, Feng Linglong hurriedly thanked her and stood up. She stole a glance at Feng Lingxi, seeing her staring at her with a smile that sent shivers down her spine. She truly disliked this feeling.

"Empress Dowager, the Sixth Prince has arrived."

The eunuch outside the palace came in to report, Empress Cen frowned, and she saw Dugu Xiu entering. Seeing Feng Lingxi present, Dugu Xiu's eyes swept over her and he bowed to Empress Cen, "This son greets his mother."

"Get up."

Empress Cen's voice was laced with laziness as she expressed displeasure at Dugu Xiu's arrival.

"Mother, my son just heard that you are going to give Fei Fei poisoned wine. I don't know why"

Dugu Xiu's gaze fell on Feng Lingxi, but saw Feng Lingxi smile at him.

"Sixth Prince, Yao Feifei is a traitor of the Yao clan. What's wrong with the Empress Dowager giving her poisoned wine"

"This king did not speak to you."

Dugu Xiu looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of disgust, and his tone was extremely impolite.

Feng Lingxi's eyes flashed a hint of calculation as she looked at Feng Linglong beside her. Seeing her staring at herself, she guessed that she wanted Dugu Xiu to deal with her

"Shuer, Fenglingxi is your empress, you must not be so disrespectful."

The Empress Dowager spoke, and Dugu Xiu stared at her with disbelief. The doubt in his eyes made the Empress Dowager frown, "Do you not listen to what this old woman says"

Dugu Xiu bowed to Feng Lingxi, his expression full of disdain. Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince's disagreement with me stems from his belief that I incited Your Majesty to give poisoned wine to Yao Feifei. It's understandable that he's upset."

"Feng Lingxi, this king's beloved concubine has since left the Yao Clan, she is no longer a member of the Yao Clan. You have no right to dispose of her."

Dugu Xiu clenched his fist, utterly bewildered by Empress Dowager's favoritism towards Feng Lingxi. They had previously agreed to eliminate Feng Lingxi, yet now she was being treated with such preferential treatment. It caused his queen suffering, this Feng Lingxi approached the Empress Dowager with ulterior motives. When things truly went awry, the Empress Dowager would surely regret her actions.

"Your Highness, to say that I wronged you is truly unfair. Just now, I helped your princess feel the pulse of joy. I haven't even had a chance to congratulate Your Highness on becoming a father."

"What did you say Is Fei Fei pregnant"

The Sixth King's face, which had been gloomy a moment ago, instantly lit up with joy. "So that means this king is going to be a father"

"Three months of pregnancy, congratulations to the Sixth Prince."

Feng Ling Xi's words had barely fallen when Du Gu Xiu's face of delight froze instantly. Three months pregnant, this child wasn't his.

Cen Taizi looked at Feng Lingxi's smile with furrowed brows. She didn't know why, but a sense of unease welled up in her heart. Calculating the time since Dugu Xiu and Yao Feifei met, it hadn't even been three months, had it

"Fourth Princess, you said Yao Feifei is three months pregnant, then the child in her belly is..."

"Mother, naturally, is my own."

獨孤修 gritted his teeth and acknowledged this child. Such an act surprised Feng Lingxi a little. She didn't expect that Du Gu Xiu, who was so righteous, would actually acknowledge this child. In this way, there would be a good show to watch.

“I remember that you and Yao Feifei only met recently. Are you sure this woman's child is yours”

"To Mother Empress, the child in Yao Feifei's womb is my own. Please do not make things difficult for her."

Feng Lingxi looked at the expression on Dugu Xiu's face, and walked to Cen Taizu's front, "Empress Dowager, Yao Feifei left Yaozu less than three months ago, dare to ask, Sixth Prince, did you already know her before she left Yaozu"

Then Empress Cen's eyes turned cold, "Xiu'er, is what the Fourth Princess said true"

"Mother, my son and Yao Feifei have known each other for a long time, she is pregnant with..."

"Sixth Prince, do you really want a father who takes advantage of others like this Members of the Yao Clan are generally not allowed to leave the clan unless they are assigned to perform missions. And Yao Feifei is the granddaughter of Elder Yao Qing. She has never performed any missions for the Yao Clan, which means she could have never met you before. Moreover, after leaving the Yao Clan, she met the Crown Prince of Gallo Country and ran away on her way back to the palace. It was probably after that that you met her, wasn't it"

Wind Ling Xi's words turned Empress Cen's face ashen. Looking at Dugu Xiu's pair of icy eyes, she felt utterly speechless with anger.

"Xiuer, you're so foolish, is this woman worth it"

Dugu Xiu glared at Feng Lingxi, the coldness in his eyes made Feng Lingxi raise an eyebrow. She had done what she promised Empress Cen, as for how to deal with Yao Feifei now, it had nothing to do with her. She believed Empress Cen couldn't tolerate such a woman either.

"Mother…"

Dugu Xiu clenched his fists, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Is this interesting to you What does this have to do with you and what happened between me and Yao Feifei"

"I don't want the royal bloodline to be tarnished. My words are final. If you insist on acknowledging this child, then I can only wish you well." She wanted to see if he could tolerate it, if the Empress Dowager could tolerate it.

"Come here, bring the poisoned wine to Yao Feifei and send her on her way."

"Mother!"

Dugu Xiu knelt down with a thud, his eyes red-rimmed. "Your Majesty, I beg you to spare her life. This child can be taken, but please release Yao Feifei. She is the love of my life."

When Feng Lingxi heard this from Dugu Xiu, she frowned. She didn't expect Dugu Xiu to have such a deep feeling at times. Just thinking of her second sister, his ruthlessness towards her back then, and now for a traitor like Yao Feifei, Feng Lingxi's eyes sank.

"Serve the poisoned wine."

Empress Dowager Cen waved her hand, ignoring how Du Gu Xiu tried to plead with her.

Dugu Xiu looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes bloodshot, and asked, "Feng Lingxi, are you satisfied now You killed my woman, I will kill the man you love most."

"Shuer, you must not be so bold!"

Cen Taizi's anger flared, banging on the table. Hearing such nonsense, if Feng Lingxi suspected anything, wouldn't all her efforts be in vainface mask and hurriedly adjusted her state."Sir Liu, quickly get some lime powder. I need to bury this place deep and handle it properly."Mr. Liu responded immediately and hurried off to take care of...
