Chapter 331: Coup d'état 86
ing at Dugu City, "I'm done playing, getting ready for the banquet.""Xier, you go bathe and change your clothes first. Then come back."Feng Lingxi hurriedly placed her hand on the tip of her nose and...As soon as Yao Wan'ying returned to the manor, she heard about Feng Lingxi being stabbed. She hurriedly pulled her aside to ask questions and, seeing that she was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xier, going out there is too dangerous. Your mother can't let you go out and take risks anymore."
Feng Lingxi saw her mother's anxious expression, turned in a circle, and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry."
"This time it's nothing, but what if next time they don't drug you but directly try to assassinate you Can you handle it"
"My lady, the prince's men have been discreetly protecting the young mistress this whole time. There's nothing to worry about."
Yao Wan'ying thought of Huangfu Ying and her words, and hurriedly pulled Feng Lingxi down to sit. "Xier, Mother has something to tell you."
"Mother, what's so mysterious about this"
Yao Wanying told Feng Lingxi her plan, and upon hearing her mother's words, Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly.
"Has Dugu City agreed to this"
The method is not bad, but doing so will bring the summer heat forward. Was this Huangfu Qingyun's intention or the emperor's
They all still don't know it was the emperor's will.
Feng Lingxi fell silent for a moment. If she went back like this, she would indeed be quite famous, but it would bring trouble to the Arah Summer dynasty.
"Mother, do you think this is feasible This would drag the Xia Dynasty into it. Empress Cen wants Zi Xing, she wants my life. The Emperor doesn't need to do this for me."
"You're right, there's no need for him to do this for you. Perhaps he feels indebted to me from the past and wants to repay his debt," Yao Wan Ying sighed softly. "Xi'er, don't overthink it. The most important thing is to clear your name."
"Mother, let me think about it."
Feng Lingxi pondered deeply, while Yao Wan Ying watched Xiaoli beside her. "Besides that person today, did anyone else appear"
Xiaoli shook her head, "These people are all death row inmates. If the mission fails, they will immediately commit suicide and there is no chance to ask any questions."
Therefore, we need a little more time to find Yao Feifei.
Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi who remained silent, "Xi'er, what do you think"
"I feel like they're always trying me, sending out assassins each time to test if I've recovered my memory"
Feng Lingxi pondered over this, thinking it was the most likely possibility. If it were truly as she thought, then she would know who the person sent by the Empress Dowager was.
“So, you’re saying they want to know if you've recovered your memory”
After Yao Wan Ying finished asking, Feng Ling Xi only then came back to her senses. Looking at the deep thoughts in her mother's eyes, she nodded slightly. Her mother probably already knew that she had recovered her memory.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person sent by Empress Cen is Duke Gu Lu Xiu. Only he understands my affairs." After Feng Lingyu married Duke Gu Lu Xiu, she sold him a lot of information. Duke Gu Lu Xiu was considered to be one of the few people who understood her situation.
"Does this Sixth Prince know you well"
"Knows more than others, but how much he knows remains unknown."
Yao Wan'ying frowned. Feng Lingxi saw her mother's worry and comforted, "Mother, don't worry. If it really is Dugu Xiu, we will just deal with him carefully. He couldn't kill me back then, and he can't now."
"Xier, after I pretended to be dead, I heard a lot about Dugu Xiu on my journey. This man is cunning and ruthless. Moreover, his influence is widespread. Mother thinks, when you were framed for poisoning the previous emperor, was it his suggestion"
Speaking of this matter, Feng Lingxi also found it strange. Although the emperor had decreed that she had poisoned her father, who was behind this Was it the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, or Dugu Xiu She couldn't figure it out. Now, if she wanted to clear her name, she had to get to the bottom of it.
"Mother, I have agreed to the request for a princess title. These days we will wait. If Yao Feifei and the Empress Dowager's people don't make a move, neither shall we. Continue sending people to watch Yao Feifei. If there is any news about her, notify me immediately."
"Alright, Mother, I'll have people continue searching for Yao Feifei. That woman is good at hiding."
The Yao people's hidden abilities are the most formidable, even the Holy Master wouldn't be able to know their concealed methods.
The Yao people are a hidden tribe. Their people are skilled at hiding, and besides that, Yao Feifei has a capable person by her side. Finding them would be incredibly difficult.
Feng Lingxi bid farewell and returned to her room to rest.
Yao Wanying continued to send people to search for Yao Feifei's whereabouts, but there was still no result.
Several days passed in a blink of an eye. Feng Lingxi rested at the Yao Mansion for a few days, and there was no movement whatsoever. The teahouse investigation revealed that the owner had nothing to do with those people. Those who applied were all newly recruited clerks. The teahouse owner truly had nothing to do with Yao Feifei's affair.
Feng Lingxi had initially thought that after a few days, Yao Feifei would take some action. However, the people sent by her mother to investigate came back empty-handed every time. Yao Feifei seemed to have vanished from Chaodu as if she never existed, and not even a suspicious figure was spotted.
Half a month passed, and Feng Lingxi still hadn't received any news from Yao Feifei. The mother and daughter were sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the cool breeze when Yao Wan Ying arrived to report. Feng Lingxi immediately asked, "Mother, have you heard any news about Yao Feifei"
There's no news from Yao Feifei, but there is some bad news. Your father is going to attack Linxi County. Now Linxi County has insufficient troops. Once war breaks out, Linxi County will definitely be captured by your father. The 200,000 army led by Dugu City over there could potentially be wiped out.
“He is going to attack Linxi County”
Feng Lingxi's face changed drastically, she slammed the table and stood up, her angry eyes seemed like they were going to burst into flames.
"Does he know what he's doing Does he really want to kill me"
Yaowan held Xier's hand and comforted her, "Xier, your father is no longer the father you knew. For the future of the Feng family, he has gone mad. He doesn't even recognize his own child, but..."
Feng Lingxi watched the sadness in her mother's eyes. She didn't want her mother to be so distressed. Such a father, she really felt that her mother had been blind when she fell in love with him.
"Mother, I'm going to the palace to ask the Emperor for help. He must personally lead troops to rescue Linxi County and absolutely prevent your father from succeeding."
"Mother, let me do it."
Feng Lingxi's eyes were resolute. Looking at her mother's worried gaze, she quickly said, "Linxi County is my and Dugu City's home. I can't just stand by and watch my home be destroyed. If he really wants to kill me, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, the coldness in her eyes piercing through people. She wouldn't care about their father-daughter relationship; he didn't even want her to live. Why should she still care about his life or death
Yao Wanting looked at the murderous intent in her daughter's eyes and quickly soothed her, "Xi'er, leave this to Mother. You're just a girl without any martial arts skills. Mother is worried that you are no match for your father at all. Moreover, Mother will take this opportunity to settle things between me and him once and for all."
After so many years of love, it ends up with us facing each other on the battlefield. He is ruthless, don't blame her for being unrighteous.handle it."Feng Lingxi shook away the bad thoughts in her mind and secretly vowed that she must handle this matter well and prevent the explosives from being released."Go to sleep, we still have to go...
