Chapter 385: Revenge 29

are Lingyu this time.""Hold on!"A cold voice came, and everyone turned their heads to see a handsome and tall figure walking towards them. The person was none other than the prince, Dugu Yan."General,...Feng Lingxi charged towards Empress Cen with a dazzling smile. Once the imperial edict of pardon arrived, her objective would be fulfilled.

"Yao Hua, take another look inside my body and see if there are any signs of poisoning left."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly grabbed Empress Cen's hand to feel her pulse. After a while, she shook her head and said, "Empress Dowager, there is no poison in your body. Why did you suddenly ask this Yao Hua was startled and thought Empress Dowager had been poisoned."

"Once bitten by a snake, one fears a rope for ten years. Since the poisoner hasn't been found yet, it's natural to be afraid."

"Since it wasn't poison, Yao Hua, don't worry so much," Empress Cen said, looking at Feng Lingxi's anxious expression.

"Mother, you must thoroughly investigate who poisoned you and tried to kill you. Be sure to find out who did it and bring them to justice so they don't get away with their crime."

"My mother has already sent people to investigate, and there will be results soon."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Empress Cen's shrewdness in her eyes. It was impossible to find out what she was thinking, but in this palace, someone always had to take the blame. She believed that her mother and wet nurse had already made arrangements.

Just as I was thinking, I saw Liu Mama walk in and whisper something in Empress Cen's ear. Empress Cen's smile vanished instantly, her face darkened like stormy clouds, and anger flared in her eyes. Feng Lingxi noticed this and quickly asked, "Mother Empress, what happened Your face doesn't look good."

The emperor has found out who poisoned him.

Wind Lingxi looked at Empress Cen's fierce gaze and hurriedly asked, "Empress Dowager, who poisoned you"

"It was Shen Yun, that wretched woman! I never expected that after treating her like my own daughter, she would poison me."

"Lady Yu"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of astonishment, "How could she poison and frame her mother"

The Chancellor secretly colluded with the remnants of the Galo Kingdom, plotting to usurp the throne. After your imperial brother destroyed the Galo Kingdom, its remaining forces fled to the capital and sought an alliance with the Chancellor. However, they have already been apprehended by the Emperor.

Feng Lingxi was stunned by what Cen Taizu said, speechless. She didn't expect them to find the Chancellor and the Gallo Nation as scapegoats. But this was a good thing after all, with them taking the blame, it would shift the focus, which would be beneficial for her.

"Mother, please take care of yourself and don't let them upset you. They aren't worth it."

Then Empress Cen rose, "Where is Shen Yun Bring her to me. I want to question her thoroughly."

"Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, Consort Yun has hanged herself."

Feng Lingxi was frightened and hanged herself. Was this Prime Minister truly colluding with the remnants of the Galo Kingdom, or did he have other motives

The chancellor has been imprisoned, awaiting execution after Princess Yao Hua's wedding.

Feng Lingxi listened to Liu Mamā's report, always feeling that something was strange about this matter. Originally, Shen Yun married Dugu Yan because of Empress Cen's intention. The Prime Minister had always been the Empress's person. How could he collude with the Kingdom of Garlos

Could it be that the Empress Dowager deliberately planned this, wanting to draw her out

Feng Lingxi calmed herself internally, watching the Empress Dowager's every move but not daring to reveal anything.

"Yao Hua, you return to your chambers first. This palace will go to the imperial study to see the Emperor."

After Cen Taihou finished speaking, she took Liu Mama and left. Feng Lingxi winked at Xiaoli, and the two returned to Yaohua Palace. Looking at the festive Yaohua Palace, they felt a sense of unease.

"Princess, how could the prime minister conspire with the remnants of the Gallo nation Wouldn't that be courting death"

Wind Ling shook her head, this matter was indeed quite strange.

"The fear is that this is all a trap, waiting for us to fall into it. We need to stay calm and observe the situation before making any moves."

She's most afraid that all of this is a scheme by Empress Cen and Dugu Yan. They've been probing her identity all along, trying to confirm if she's Feng Lingxi. If she makes one wrong move, she could drag down her mother and maternal grandmother, potentially leading to their complete destruction.

Night, silence like water, but the palace was in turmoil. The chancellor rebelled, failed to seize power, and was imprisoned. Shen Yun went from a noble concubine to hanging herself within a single night. The chancellor's mansion was raided, with every member slaughtered. Their end was tragic.

The next day, for her wedding, Feng Lingxi, dressed in a bridal robe, was escorted out of the palace by a wedding procession. The treatment accorded to her was the same as that given to a princess getting married. The only thing that troubled Feng Lingxi from beginning to end was that Empress Dowager Cen never appeared, not even Dugu Yan. The drastic changes within the palace left Feng Lingxi unable to fathom what was going on.

The palanquin arrived at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but Du Gucheng did not come out to greet her. Feng Lingxi was directly brought into the mansion and after the ceremony, no one paid attention to her. On the wedding day, the Empress Dowager's decree reached the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and Feng Lingxi was cleared of being the culprit who poisoned the previous emperor. The real culprit was Shen Shangshu, and all the blame fell on him.

Feng Lingxi sat in the room, Xiaoli guarding her. Outside, guests were arriving, bustling with excitement. This was her second marriage to Dugu City, but from beginning to end, she hadn't heard Dugu City's voice once. If not for Xiaoli by her side, she would have doubted if she had married Dugu City at all.

"Xiao Li."

Feng Lingxi shouted, listening to the noise outside, she lifted her veil. Xiaoli hurried over, "Your Highness, you can't lift your veil, it's bad luck."

How is everything going

Feng Lingxi was uneasy all day. She had heard some things about the palace, but she was still not at ease. Her marriage was now official, and she was Feng Lingxi, not Princess Yao Hua anymore.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not appear today. An imperial edict has been issued, Your Highness's charges have been cleared, and the entire family of Lord Shen has been executed for poisoning the late emperor."

And what about Dugu Cheng Why doesn't he come to see me

Since the ceremony of greeting her relatives and bowing to their ancestors, she hadn't heard a word from Dugu City, and was starting to worry.

After the ceremony, the lord and lady entered the palace. Now the guests at the manor are being greeted by the steward.

"He entered the palace Do you know what's going on"

Could it be that the Empress Dowager has met with an accident, otherwise, why would Dugu City enter the palace

"He was summoned to the palace by the Emperor, Your Highness. Technically, the Crown Prince married Princess Yaohua. His coldness towards you is normal. Besides, having married Princess Yaohua, the Emperor summons him, the Crown Prince cannot refuse."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "I had forgotten about this. I should prepare as well. It's time for Feng Lingxi to make her appearance."

Yao Huahua Princess married Duke Gucheng, while Feng Lingxi still had to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager.

Feng Ling Xi smirked, got up and walked over to take off the human skin mask on her face. She took off her wedding attire and changed into Feng Ling Xi's clothes. Looking at herself in the mirror, Feng Ling Xi finally felt like she was back.

"Your Majesty, should we enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager"

Xiaoli has already revealed her true face. After playing the role of Ali for so long, she can finally return to being Princess Xiaoli.

"As I am Princess Yaohua's dowry and betrothed, I should go see Empress Cen. Now that my charges have been dropped, I should go thank her."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, a coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes, the good show was just beginning.

"If I don't go today, this king will go tomorrow." Dugu Cheng entered wearing a wedding robe and saw Feng Lingxi who had taken off her wedding robe. His handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Xi'er, why did you take off your wedding robe Quickly put it back on, today is our big day of joy." strange. This wasn't the Bai Xiadie he knew. Her eyes were too sharp, as if they could see through his very being.“Which eye of yours saw this princess allying with the Great Yuan If you hadn't force...
