Chapter 245: Palace Change 89

Xi's eyebrows twitch slightly."It seems Lan Fei favors you. She even gave you this precious century-old ginseng."Feng Lingxi took the century-old ginseng from Xiao Li's hand and gave it to Feng Yu Xi,...It's always good to be careful.

Feng Yu Xi stood firm despite the growing storm, a smile plastered on her face as she gazed at Xiao Li. Her eyes seemed to pierce through Xiao Li, trying to decipher her intentions. Feng Yu Xi's own gaze flickered, an anxious expression clouding her features. Her hands fidgeted nervously, unsure where to find rest.

Such an action caught Xiao Li's eye, and Xiao Li's gaze became even sharper.

"Xiao Li, San Jie is right, it's always good to be careful. No matter where you are, you can't be careless."

Feng Lingxi took the wine jug and poured a cup for Feng Yuxi, saying softly, "Third Sister, Xiao Li has gotten used to staying here with me. She's not as well-mannered as she was back at the manor. She might have been disrespectful at times. Please don't take it to heart."

"This servant apologizes to the Third Miss."

Xiao Li hurriedly apologized. Feng Yu Xi, seeing this, quickly held up her wine cup and said, "It was my fault to overthink things. With the protection of the Four Kings, how could anyone hurt Xi'er I shall drink a cup to apologize to Xi'er."

"Enough talk, let's eat."

Feng Ling glanced at Xiao Li, signaling her to keep quiet and not reveal anything that might alert the enemy. This Wind Rain evening was very sensitive, lest it expose Xiao Li, leading to disaster for her.

"I raise a glass to Lord Si and Xi'er, in gratitude for saving my life and giving me shelter."

As the wind and rain whipped around, they raised their cups in a toast. Watching them drink, his eyes dimmed, and he let out a soft sigh, "I wonder what the future holds for me"

"Third Sister, haven't you thought about looking for Father Since he has already come to this area, he certainly won't ignore it. He wouldn't just sit idly by and watch you be treated like this," Feng Lingxi suggested. Now that she thinks about it, Feng Yu Xi's arrival here was full of loopholes. Since Father went on campaign and became a general, why would he let her become a military prostitute Wouldn't that slap him in the face This scheme, when thought about now, really didn't require any brains.

"Father and the Sixth Prince are together, this time I was sent to a military camp that is not under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Prince. Father doesn't know about this at all."

Fengyu's gaze dimmed in the evening rain, "I also want to go find Father, but I don't know if I can see him."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly. Her explanation this time was barely plausible.

"Then you can stay here for now, and we'll let you know when we hear from your father. I wouldn't be able to go looking for your father myself, but I can try to find out what happened to him." Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, "This is a lot to ask of Your Highness, but please do everything you can to help Third Sister find her father and uncover the truth. That way, he'll understand the emperor's intentions. It's not right for your sister to be treated this unfairly because of all this. Her father is risking his life to protect the emperor and the country; at least we should get him to clear her name."

"Xier, thank you. I will definitely ask Father to help me clear my name and won't let elder sister's scheme succeed."

Looking at the stormy anger in her eyes, Feng Lingxi nodded and soothed, "Just stay here and rest assured. As long as I have a mouthful of food, you won't go hungry."

"Thank you, Xi'er. You've been so good to me." Feng Yu Xi reached out and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, as if she were truly touched by her words.

Wind Ling Xi comforted her with a few words, and after finishing the meal, they returned to the courtyard together. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time. Feng Yu Xi pulled Wind Ling Xi and told her what had happened since she left. Generally speaking, Wind Ling Xi knew almost everything, but she kept delaying mentioning Zi Xing.

"Third Sister, did Elder Sister mention anything about Zi Xing when she was in the palace"

"Zixing"

Feng Yu Xi Mei's eyes widened slightly in surprise as she looked at Feng Ling Xi's probing gaze. She smiled and said, "No, what's wrong"

I thought she knew about this too.

As the wind and rain fell, she spoke, and I pondered within myself. I asked, "Xi'er, what is this Zi Xing you speak of, and what is its relationship to your elder sister"

"I don't know either, recently people keep trying to assassinate me. They all want this Purple Star, and I'm baffled. I have no idea what this Purple Star even is, and why so many people are after it."

Wind Lingxi fiddled with her fingers, her expression downcast.

"Are you alright then" Feng Yu Xi asked hurriedly, seeing Feng Ling Xi shake her head, she let out a breath of relief.

"My elder sister is probably scheming again. Now that she's pregnant, she naturally has to plan for her child in her belly. Unlike me, I have nothing left. Being alive is already a luxury, so how dare I think so much."

Feng Lingxi feigned a sigh, “My third sister is right. Once someone has greed, they become unrecognizable as human beings. Just thinking about it is terrifying.”

What are Na Xia'er's plans for the future The Fourth Prince holds control of 500,000 soldiers. With his intelligence and wit, why wouldn't he simply rebel...

Before she could finish her words, Feng Lingxi hurriedly covered her mouth and glanced nervously around. "Third Sister, you're courting death! How could you say such outrageous things Although we're not in the capital, if the King heard this, he would be furious."

"I just don't understand, why is he still angry Doesn't he have any idea"

Feng Lingxi, seeing her complaining gaze, held her hand and said with a serious face, "We don't know what really happened to the former emperor. Making him rebel is like sending him to his death. The prince said that we should stay here and wait for the emperor to investigate. He will definitely clear our names, and then we can return to court."

Feng Lingxi's words were spoken with such innocence, as if she yearned for the day she could uncover the truth and clear her name. The hope in her eyes made Yu Yuxi roll her eyes. "You two are really naive. The Emperor's death was clearly a setup against you. How can you still hold onto these delusions"

"Third Sister, do you know what happened to the late emperor"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, "Do you know something Can you tell me"

The wind and rain beat on her back, seeing that she had taken the bait, he said, “Actually, I don’t know much about this either. All I know is that this has nothing to do with Consort Shu. On the day the former emperor passed away, there was only the emperor and the empress dowager in the palace. You are so intelligent, even without me saying it you should know, who framed you”

"You're talking about the Emperor"

Feng Yu Xi looked at her, Feng Ling Xi was astonished and covered her mouth, she looked unbelievable, "You wouldn't be talking about the Empress, would you"

"You think whoever it is, just that person."

Feng Lingxi clutched her chest, her expression of disbelief prompting Feng Yuxi to remind her, "Don't forget, the Empress Dowager has never been satisfied with you. Who made you marry the Fourth Prince If you had married the Emperor, she might have liked you."

"Third Sister, but the Emperor is your husband. You tell me all of this, aren't you afraid the Emperor will find out Then you won't be able to enter the palace anymore"u Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked, picking up a medical book that Xi'er had used. He flipped through it, starting to select some.There wasn't much movement from the Empress Dowager's side. However,...
