Chapter 999: Metamorphosis 73

expression, flustered, "What's wrong with you Don't tell me...""Mmm…"Her lips were suddenly sealed, and Dugu City pushed her onto the bed, kissing her lips before saying seriously, "Who said this king..."Xiao Li, do you believe what your mother said"

Xiao Li nodded, "Believe me, Madam wouldn't lie to the Princess, nor would she lie to Xiao Li."

"Then tell me, why is Luoli chasing after my mother And, Mother said he will be my greatest enemy. Do you know what that means"

Xiao Li shook her head. "This slave doesn't know. Madam knows that I used to be called Liuli, which is enough proof that she is Madam. But what those words she said mean, this slave truly has no idea."

Feng Lingxi frowned, Qi Zhi Xiao Li didn't know the beginning and end, she didn't know either.

Those in black said someone had arrived, and my mother hurriedly left, looking like she was fleeing. These people chased after my mother, but who are they

And who are the people in black following the mother

Feng Lingxi was curious, but she didn't know what the connection was.

"Your Highness, we shouldn't worry about this too much. Let's just listen to the mistress and be on guard against the clan leader. Perhaps when the mistress sees us next time, she will let us know."

A hasty meeting, yet it has thrown Feng Ling's heart into disarray.

Yao Wan Ying's words reminded Feng Ling Xi of what Luo Li had said when he left before, making her pray that she would never see him again.

At that time, Feng Lingxi was still a little doubtful. Now that her mother said this, connecting everything together, Feng Lingxi began to believe what her mother said. Luoli might really be harmful to her.

What he said when he left, maybe he really treated her as a friend, didn't want to hurt her, that's the people behind him

Feng Lingxi shook her head, this complicated yet directionless thing was too taxing on the brain.

"At this point, there's nothing else we can do."

She could only take it one step at a time.

Feng Lingxi did not immediately tell Dugu City about Yao Wan'ying's appearance. She had yet to figure out what was going on, and telling him would only add to his worries.

According to her mother, Feng Lingxi thought back to the incident where her mother had fallen off a cliff. It was all based on Luo Li's words. After verification, what Luo Li said was true, so she believed Luo Li and returned to Yaozu to handle internal affairs and took over as the Saint Lord. Now that she thinks about it, she didn't really investigate the truth behind her mother's fall from the cliff.

However, even if I wanted to look for clues, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Feng Ling Xi's peculiarity, although Du Gu Cheng noticed it, he ignored it due to his busy affairs.

Empress Dowager Cen's condition worsened day by day. In less than half a month, she was seriously ill. In the harem, only Dugu Xiu listened to Yue Fei's words. However, the Empress Dowager wanted to see Feng Lingxi, but Dugu Xiu stopped her.

With power in his grasp, Dugu Xiu felt confident and in control. All the imperial physicians at Taiping Hospital were assigned to treat his mother, but none dared to mention Feng Lingxi. This left Empress Cen with no one to turn to; even the maidservants and attendants in Shou'an Palace had been replaced.

This was the first time Empress Cen felt helpless, only able to watch as her life slowly slipped away.

In just half a month, Yuefei's status in the palace had grown visibly. Even the Empress dared not provoke her; she was truly Dixiu's favored concubine, disregarding everyone else in the palace.

"Empress Dowager, come, it's time to take your medicine."

The Empress Dowager lay on the bed, close to death. Yuefei sat by the bedside, holding a bowl and staring at her, a slight upturn of her red lips.

Empress Dowager Cen glared at Yue Fei, her teeth gritted with hatred. She struggled to get up and strangle her, but she only had the thought, not the ability.

"Empress Dowager, do you know that everything you have today is a result of your own doing In the past, Dugu Yan also pleaded with you in this way, but didn't you just watch him suffer like this"

When Empress Dowager Cen heard what the Moon Noble Consort said, she thought of Yan’er and her eyes welled up.

"What's the point of crying now You said you've lived your life, a woman, just knowing how to rule the world. Is that interesting This world, even if you became emperor, what could you do You'd still be without someone trustworthy."

Pulling off Yue Fei's mask, revealing Feng Yu Xi's true face, Empress Cen stared at her, her eyes filled with hatred. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Feng Yu Xi glanced at Cen Taizi one last time, her face showing no sympathy whatsoever.

"In your lifetime, you have been incredibly successful. You gave birth to two emperors and had two puppet sons who became emperors. Furthermore, you poisoned the previous emperor, controlled the government from behind the scenes, and you yearned for a unified empire. As a woman, you are truly remarkable."

The wind and rain, as evening approached, Feng Yu put down his bowl.

“It’s a pity, you’re so capable, but in the end, you only ended up like this. Do you know why the emperor wouldn’t let him find Feng Lingxi for you It wasn’t because he didn’t want to; he did. But he didn’t dare, because Feng Lingxi cured your poison, and you could still harm him. He also wanted to be a decent emperor, so he gave up on you.”

When Feng Yu Xi said this, he felt a sense of relief.

"Now you know how much of a failure you are, don't you"

Glaring at Empress Cen with hatred, she spat, "You've been arrogant your whole life, enjoying power and status, but you lacked compassion. In the end, everyone abandoned you."

Queen Cen's face flushed red with anger at Feng Yu Xi's words. She raised her trembling hand, but Feng Yu Xi grabbed her wrist, warning her fiercely, "Oh, you think you can still do anything to me now Everything you've lost, I can have immediately. Your two sons both listen to me, they belong to me. And the treasure in Feng Ling Xi's hands, you can't get it, and in the end, I will get it all."

Amidst the gloomy twilight, with a chilling sneer, he watched Empress Cen cough furiously with anger, remaining utterly unmoved.

"Take it easy, after all, if you die, you won't be able to see me take everything from you."

Due to the news about the wind and rain, Empress Cen's cough worsened, and her face grew even paler.

Never thought she would lose to Feng Yu Xi, nor did I expect her to be so ruthless.

"Do you know when I first started wanting to kill you, to take everything from you"

Under the twilight of wind and rain, she reminisced. Her lips curled into a faint smile, but her cold eyes held an irremovable pain.

"When you told me to kill Feng Lingxi, did you know how afraid I was Just to get to the position of Noble Consort, how much have I sacrificed Do you really think the child I carried is your son"

Feng Yu Xi Leng let out a cold snort, "Only they are foolish enough to think that my child is theirs. With their bodies, how could they possibly carry a child"

When Empress Dowager Cen heard this, blood gushed from her mouth and she fainted.

As the evening wind and rain grew colder, he glanced at her with one eye and suddenly shouted, "Empress Dowager, quickly send for the imperial physician!"

Suddenly, Shou'an Palace was in chaos. Feng Yu Xi held a spoon and sprinkled the medicine from the bowl onto Cen Taihe's lips. The coldness in her eyes flashed and disappeared instantly. She disguised herself as Yue Fei, with a meek expression, shouting beside her.

When the imperial physician from Taitai Hospital arrived and after a frantic rescue attempt, they informed Tai-hou Cen that her life was out of danger, but she was unable to speak, paralyzed, and the poison had invaded her body. They feared she wouldn't last long.opportunity Why did he keep saying such things Wouldn't this make her even more devoted to Dugu Cheng Did he have no hope at all"What do you mean by saying this to me"Feng Lingxi wryly smiled, "Not ev...
