Chapter 515: Conspiracy 2

eror's will, then this prince is powerless and cannot help you."Dugu Cheng had anticipated this response and reminded him, "Sixth brother is right. He serves as your emperor, and you serve as his subj...The abbot looked at Dugu Cheng's anxious eyes, "Amitabha Buddha, this old monk doesn't know who the other party is. They covered their faces and knocked out Lady Shu before we could even react. This old monk wanted to stop them from taking Lady Shu away, but they injured me before leaving."

"Are they all wearing masks How many people"

Dugu Cheng hurried to ask, the abbot thought for a moment, "There are five people in total. They look like men. The old monk and Shu Taifei spoke for less than a stick of incense, and they came."

"It seems they had their eyes on Mother long ago."

Feng Lingxi looked at the coldness in Dugu Cheng's eyes and soothed, "You and Ye Xi go find your mother first. I'll stay here to see if there are any clues around."

Dugu City nodded, looking at the wound on the abbot's forehead, "Abbot Master, did they ask you to bring a message to this king"

The abbot shook his head. Lü Gēng quickly said to Yè Xī, "Immediately mobilize all your troops, we must find the Empress Dowager."

Ye Xi received the order, and Dugu City said to Feng Lingxi, "Xier, be careful here. This king will send someone to pick you up in a while."

Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Dugu City leave, then looking at the abbot.

"Master Abbot, did you see any markings on those men in black For example, were there any marks on their wrists"

The Abbot shook his head, “They came in with their faces covered, knocked Empress Shu unconscious and tried to kidnap her. This old monk was helpless.”

"It's caused trouble for the Master Abbot."

Feng Lingxi apologized to the head abbot on behalf of her mother, and the abbot suddenly thought of something. He said to Feng Lingxi, "There's something I don't know if I should say."

"Master, please speak." Windling Xi seeing the abbot pondered for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "Empress Shu mentioned to this old monk about something left by the late emperor to her, and then those men in black arrived. It's unknown if it has anything to do with this matter."

"Father Emperor left something for Mother Empress. Master, do you know what it is"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, the Abbot shook his head, "Amitabha Buddha, this old monk and Lady Shu were just talking about this when the men in black arrived. I truly don't know."

"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave now. Please take care, Master."

The abbot nodded. Feng Lingxi took Xiaoli out, looking at this incense-filled temple, with people coming and going. The noble consort was taken away, but it didn't disturb the incense-goers here. It has to be said that these men in black were well-prepared.

"Your Highness, do you suspect the Yao Clan did this"

After coming out, Xiaoli asked, but saw Feng Lingxi shake her head.

“At first, I did suspect the Yao people were involved. However, just now, the abbot said that he and my mother spoke about something the late emperor left for her. The masked man came in and kidnapped my mother, which means it's very possible their goal was what the late emperor left for my mother. They kidnapped my mother to get their hands on the item.”

Feng Lingxi's analysis made Xiaoli's eyes light up, "Does that mean Shu Taifei is temporarily safe in their hands"

"Maybe."

The fact that the late emperor left something for his imperial concubine means that the other party has been watching her all along, and they must be someone from the royal family. Is it Dugu Xiu, Dugu Yan, or Empress Cen

Feng Ling Xi frowned, these people could be anyone. She didn't know who it was.

"Go back and tell Dugu City immediately, they didn't let the Master Abbot inform us, my mother is in their hands, I don't trust them."

Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li out of the temple and looked at the carriage parked under the temple. She hurriedly took Xiao Li onto the carriage. As soon as she got in, a long sword was placed on her neck. Two masked black-clad men in the carriage stared at them. Feng Lingxi looked at them, "What do you want to do"

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess, it would be a bother if you could come with us."

The man in black spoke, and Feng Lingxi only felt a tap on the back of her neck before she fainted. Xiao Li let out a scream before she too was knocked unconscious.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Lingxi woke up. The bumpy carriage made her frown, but she didn't dare to move. She secretly glanced at the surroundings and found that there was no one in the carriage. She wanted to get up but discovered that her hands and feet were tied up. Looking at Xiao Li beside her, Feng Lingxi moved over and bumped her, but Xiao Li showed no sign of waking up.

Feng Lingxi struggled to get up, the rope tied around her wrist wasn't particularly tight. Feng Lingxi fiddled with it for a while and untied it, then hurriedly helped Xiaoli untie hers and woke her up. Xiaoli opened her eyes and was immediately covered by the princess's hand, who shook her head at her.

Xiao Li nodded, watching them tied up, knowing their current situation. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the mountain road outside. No wonder the carriage was bumpy; they were on a mountain road, and she didn't know where they were going.

Feng Lingxi took the rope and tied Xiaoli up, pretending that they were still bound. They planned to take advantage of the opportunity when the others stopped to attack.

The carriage stopped after about half an hour. Outside, the sky had grown dark. Feng Lingxi calculated the time, roughly two hours had passed. It was clearly not the way back to the capital.

They are still asleep.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a man in black came up to inspect it before going down.

Feng Lingxi, hearing their footsteps, opened her eyes and met Xiao Li's gaze. The two quickly untied the rope. Xiao Li lifted the window curtain to look outside. This was a mountain inn; these men in black were probably planning to eat something here and might continue on their journey through the night.

Just as Feng Lingxi had guessed, the man in black returned quickly. A conversation could be heard, "Take them to this carriage. Don't let them catch up."

Feng Lingxi heard this, gave Xiaoli a wink, and took out the medicinal powder from her bosom, hiding it in her sleeve. Listening to their footsteps approaching, she pretended to faint.

"There's still half an hour left, hurry up."

Feng Lingxi only felt her body being lifted and placed on another carriage. Then, Xiaoli was also moved beside her. She heard the black-clothed man say, "They should be waking up soon, keep an eye on them."

The carriage sped off again. Feng Lingxi opened her eyes and, with Xiao Li, untied the ropes. The only thing she had on her was her set of golden needles and some self-defense medicine powder she had prepared.

From the sounds of footsteps and voices, there were only three of them. They escorted her to a destination unknown, arriving after half an hour. By then, the sky had darkened, and nightfall was upon them.

Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli decided to go to the destination to have a look. Maybe, Shutai was imprisoned there.

A half-hour journey wasn't short, nor long. However, it was certain they were no longer in the capital city; exactly where they were, Feng Lingxi had no idea.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped. Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li continued to feign unconsciousness. They were carried out of the carriage and into a room, hearing voices around them.

"Since these four princesses are said to have medical skills, why haven't they woken up yet"

Feng Lingxi heard this voice, so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
