Chapter 610: Conspiracy 96

be ruled by anyone, as long as they treat the people well."Besides the Prince and Princess, who else has such abilityLittle Li mumbled in displeasure, "Your Highness, think about Feng Yu Xi and Feng L...Then what about Mother What should we do

Leaving only the empress dowager alone was truly not reassuring. Given what had happened before, each incident vividly etched in my memory, I believe even Dugu Cheng would be worried about the empress dowager's safety.

"The situation is different now, they won't do anything to the Empress Dowager. This king will go with you, and the Empress Dowager will be safe."

"Do you believe in Dugu Yan"

Besides Dugu Yan and Cen Taizi, there are others who could harm the Empress Dowager.

"Dugu Yan said that she would protect her mother's safety, and now, he is on our side. Even Empress Cen treats you with extra courtesy. Currently, there will be no harm to your mother." As long as Dugu Xiu and Dugu Yu are not eliminated, they won't do anything to her mother.

"You make a point. However, don't worry, as for Dugu Yu and Dugu Xiu, if they were to target your mother, wouldn't that be very dangerous"

Feng Lingxi's worries, Du Gu Cheng would naturally know. However, "Du Gu Yan promised to protect her mother, so there's no need to worry,"

"If you truly want to go out with me, then I have to make proper arrangements. I can't let Mother like she did last time, when she encountered danger."

Feng Lingxi's eyes rolled, then suddenly brightened.

"I know who to ask."

Du Gu Cheng looked at the calculation in her eyes and couldn't help but remind her, "Xi Er, be careful of getting too much of a good thing."

"Rest assured, he'll definitely handle this. Unless he doesn't care about Feng Yixuan's life or death."

Dugu City narrowed his eyes, "You're talking about your father"

Feng Lingxi nodded. "Feng Yu Xi and he don't know what they're up to, anyway, we don't know either right now. As long as they are thinking about Feng Yi Xuan's well-being, then cooperate with them, let them protect Empress Dowager's safety, and after Feng Yi Xuan recovers safely, send him back to them unharmed. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

"How's that"

獨孤城's eyes were filled with worry, as if something was amiss.

But, it almost seems like it can.

"There's no need to make such a fuss. Think about what Feng Yu Xi said to me when she was worried in the wind and rain. The fact that she was so nervous about Feng Yi Xuan shows that he plays a very important role in her life. As long as she doesn't move against her mother, then her mother will be safe."

This wicked woman, Feng Yu Xi, will have to wait until her mother returns before I slowly start fighting back against her.

"When This king will accompany you."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Tomorrow, let's go find Mother first."

When Shu Taifei heard they had arrived, she hurried forward, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at the two of them. Seeing that they were unharmed, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Xi'er greets her mother."

The Imperial Noble Consort Shu pulled her along, glaring at Dugu Cheng, "What are the two of you up to again Who exactly is this Luoli Why must Xi'er return to the Yao Clan" She wouldn't let her hear, she must have something sinister planned.

"Mother, I still haven't figured out Luoli's identity. I only know that he is from the Yao Clan. This time he found me to ask me to return to the Yao Clan to deal with matters concerning the Yao Clan."

"Didn't Wanying go back to the Yao tribe Why do you have to go back again"

The Shutai was on edge, watching Feng Lingxi's slightly flickering eyes, "Did something happen to Wan Ying"

"Mother Empress, it's not like that. Xi'er went back to the Yao Clan because there was an internal rebellion and she needed to go back. The Matriarch is in the Yao Clan."

Before Du Gucheng could finish his words, Shu Taifei glared back at him. "I didn't ask you, I asked Xi'er. Are the two of you hiding something from me Although I have no connection with Wan Ying, my mother is not blind. The girl you brought back a few days ago, she's from Yao Clan, badly injured. She must be here to deliver a message, right"

Feng Lingxi lowered her head, scolded by her mother concubine, not knowing what to say.

"Mother, there is turmoil within the Yao clan, and my stepmother has disappeared."

Shu Taifei's face instantly fell, and after a long silence, she spoke, "I knew something had happened to Wan Ying. She hasn't written to me in so long." She sighed heavily, her voice laced with sorrow.

Feng Lingxi saw her mother concubine mention the letter and hurriedly asked, "Mother concubine, did my mother say she would write to you"

She said she would write to me.

Shutaifei glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Your mother didn't tell you, there was chaos within the Yao clan, saying that she might be delayed for a long time this time when she goes back"

Feng Lingxi shook her head. Hearing these words from the Empress Dowager, she finally understood why her mother had only told her to wait for her return when she left. In fact, her mother had already foreseen that this journey might be a one-way trip.

Feng Lingxi's heart clenched. Her mother always did this, keeping everything to herself and enduring it all alone until something happened, at which point she learned the truth from others.

This time going to the Yao clan, everything must be careful, don't be reckless. Things in the Yao clan are not like those in the capital. Be more cautious about everything. The inside of the Yao clan is too chaotic. Your mother had an accident. Your imperial concubine hopes that you can take good care of yourself.

Shutai gave Feng Ling a pat on the back of her hand, looking at the self-blame in her eyes and letting out a sigh.

"This is all the fate of the Yao Clan's Saint Lord, no one can blame anyone else."

"Mother, did my mother tell you anything else Did she know from the start that this trip to the Yao tribe could very well be a one-way journey"

The Empress Dowager glanced at her but offered no reply, the answer was already clear.

"Mother Empress, this time my son will go to the Yao clan with Xier. We have soldiers and horses in Linxi County. If anything happens, my son can also help Xier."

"Be careful on the road, things here in the capital should calm down."

Although she didn't return to the palace, she still knew what had happened during this time. Feng Lingxi had done so much, and Empress Cen and Dugu Yan were truly grateful to her, realizing Xi'er's importance. Coupled with the fact that the Third Prince and Sixth Prince were eyeing the throne hungrily, their attention could shift from Cheng'er, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Feng Ling hurriedly took out the gold medal of immunity from her bosom and handed it to Shu Taifei, "Mother Empress, this gold medal of immunity was given to me by the Emperor today. You keep it safe, stay in the capital city, and wait for us to come back."

"A get-out-of-jail-free card"

Shutai's face was filled with astonishment upon confirming the authenticity of the golden amulet, a true death-proof charm. Seeing Feng Lingxi nod in affirmation, she composed herself and said, "It seems the Emperor has truly let go of his resentment towards you both."

"Mother, it might take us about three months to return. You should stay well at home. The palace won't summon you unless there's something important. Your son has already informed the Emperor, so please rest assured and wait for me and Xi'er to come back."

The Consort Shu nodded, "Go at ease, Mother Concubine will be waiting for you here in the mansion."

Feng Lingxi watched as Shutai held the golden amulet of immunity, her eyes a little dazed. She probably thought of the former emperor again.

"Mother, let's stay here today and keep you company."

Feng Lingxi held onto Empress Shu's arm, but Empress Shu moved away. "Xier, your imperial mother knows you and Cheng'er have many things to do. You don't need to accompany your imperial mother. Go busy yourselves. Your imperial mother only hopes that both of you will be well. The rest doesn't matter."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were moist, and she nodded with a choked voice, "Mother concubine, Xi'er will be fine. There is also Dugu City, we will all be fine."ns."Dugu City understood that the former King of Su was once a dazzling and unrestrained figure. However, it was precisely because his mother was just a maid in the emperor's palace, her status humble...
