Chapter 881: Frost Flower 71

der, "If you don't want to go back, just stay here. Consider me your family, at least we have each other here for company."Tian Xiaomi nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi's smile, but her mood sank."It's t..."I've heard what happened today. With so many Imperial Guards outside Siwangfu now, if you want to escape, you can only use these medicinal herbs to make medicine powder and leave with your people under their noses."

Feng Lingxi nodded, “You really understand me. I’ll count them later, but I still need to find out where Dugu City is before I dare to evacuate with people.”

Otherwise, Duolun City will be in crisis.

Feng Ling Xi's worry, Li Wu Yan naturally understood. "Let's get the medicine powder out first and talk about it then. For now, we are still safe."

"Good."

With Lü's and Yan's help, the medicine powder shouldn't be a problem. However, Feng Lingxi still hasn't received news from Dugu City. Sending 10,000 soldiers to besiege him is essentially sending Dugu City to his death.

This Dugu Xiu, once he became emperor, was utterly tyrannical, a villain who trampled on humanity.

"Your Highness, just a moment ago, Fifteen reported that there are three hundred guards outside. The most guards are in the back garden of the manor."

"With so many people guarding the Four Kings' Mansion, just how afraid is this Dugu Xiu of me running away"

Feng Lingxi frowned, Xiao Li comforted her, "Your Highness, we'll be fine. Don't forget you are the Saint Master of Yao clan, and the Clan Leader is still outside. He will find a way to save you."

"Xiao Li, you said why Empress Cen allowed Dugu Xiu to act so tyrannically and oppressively. Doing this, isn't she ruining Dugu Xiu's throne"

"I don't know, news is blocked now. We have no information about the situation outside."

Feng Lingxi sighed, "I don't know what's happening outside or how grandpa is doing right now."

Grandfather had just finished telling her about the events when this happened. It goes to show how many atrocities Du Gu Xiu had committed during this time, pushing the people to their limit and causing this uprising.

"The old general Feng is fine for now."

A figure appeared behind Feng Lingxi, it was Luoli who they had been thinking about for a long time. Seeing him appear, Feng Lingxi was overjoyed, "Luoli, how did you get here These guards outside..."

"Just a few guardsmen dare to stop me Wouldn't that make me, the chief of the Yao Clan, a disgrace to my title"

Luo Li's eyes swept over Feng Ling Xi, and she saw her eyes light up. She asked him, "Luo Li, you can come and go freely, can the owner of this Tianxiang Building also come and go freely"

“This is nature.”

Feng Lingxi pondered, if she asked the owner of Tianxiang Building for help, would they be able to find out the whereabouts of Dugu City

"The master of Tianxianglou is not in the capital recently, you're afraid to be disappointed."

"How do you know he is not in Beijing"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, seeing the hidden emotions in his eyes. She was puzzled, but Xiao Li's words interrupted her thoughts.

"Your Highness, the most urgent matter is to find a way out."

"There are ways to get out, but for now, we can't."

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Unless you want Du Gu Cheng to die, otherwise you have to stay in the Fourth Prince's Mansion for half a month."

"Do you have a message from him"

If we could exchange for the safe and sound return of Dugu City over these past two weeks, what's the harm

When he left Beijing, I saw him and greeted him. He asked me to tell you to stay safe at home and wait for him for half a month.

"Really"

Luo Li glanced at her, “Am I joking with you about this”

Feng Lingxi's face was slightly pale, "I'm just worried about him. With only 10,000 men and horses, the Emperor's doing this is nothing more than wanting his life."

"If he didn't want to die, no one could make him."

Luo Li's tone was laced with impatience. He spoke, but his words were met with disbelief.

If it weren't for Dugu Cheng inviting him, he wouldn't be willing to come here and take the risk.

Feng Lingxi saw Luoli's birth and became angry. She explained, "I'm just too worried about him. You know the situation now..."

"Anyway, I won't be leaving for a while. I'll be staying at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, in Ayan's courtyard. If you want to be safe, just do what Dugu City said and don't let anyone from the palace pay attention to you."

Feng Lingxi responded, she naturally didn't want the people in the palace to find her. This Dugu Xiu even let his brother's wife and children go, how dare he guarantee that he wouldn't target her.

It's also good to be more obedient.

Feng Lingxi just wanted to live a peaceful life in the mansion, but the palace wouldn't let her. Only three days after Dugu Cheng left, Feng Lingxi was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager, and it was Zhang Mama who personally came to take her there, not even giving her time to change her clothes.

When Feng Lingxi left the house, she told Luoli to come with Xiao Li and enter the palace together.

But after about a month out of the palace, Feng Lingxi felt that the atmosphere within the palace had changed. The once vibrant flowers in the Imperial Garden seemed to be mourning the dead, losing all their vitality.

All the maids in the palace were as mute as statues, bowing their heads and scurrying away whenever they saw Feng Lingxi.

Although Feng Lingxi was surprised, she didn't dare to ask too much.

She just hopes to be able to finish asking her questions and leave the palace quickly.

Shou'an Palace

After Feng Lingxi arrived, she discovered someone she didn't want to see inside the hall.

"Mother, this matter is decided by me. You needn't concern yourself further."

Feng Lingxi was taken aback by the tone Duguxiu used when speaking to Empress Cen. She had entered the palace many times but had never heard Duguyan speak to Empress Cen like this before. This Duguxiu didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess Consort has arrived."

Zhang Mama spoke, and Feng Ling Xi walked in. Du Gu Xiu's gaze immediately fell on Feng Ling Xi. Looking at her walk in, that bearing of hers, and her unyielding demeanor, Du Gu Xiu licked his lips, his burning gaze exposing his thoughts.

Feng Lingxi paid her respects to the Empress Dowager and Emperor, saying, "Greetings to Your Majesty and Her Imperial Highness."

Dugong Xiu strode to Feng Lingxi's face, reaching out to support her. Feng Lingxi instinctively took a step back. Dugong Xiu's smile on his face vanished instantly, "Fourth Princess, what do you mean"

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes and met Du Gu Xiu's gaze. There was a warning in his eyes, this good-for-nothing emperor.

"What is Your Majesty's meaning"

Couldn't he see what she meant

Dugu Xiu let out a cold snort, "I help you up, do I still need to explain to you"

Feng Lingxi watched as he came over again, retreating once more to avoid his touch and looking towards Empress Cen within the palace, "Empress Dowager, did you summon me to the palace for something"

Dugu Xiu saw Feng Lingxi ignoring him and angrily shouted, "Fourth Princess Consort, I'm speaking to you. How dare you ignore me"

"Your Majesty, I have something to speak with the Holy Master about. Please step aside."

When Empress Cen addressed Feng Lingxi as the Holy Master, Dugu Xiu's face kept changing between pale and red. He glared coldly at Feng Lingxi before turning and leaving.

Feng Lingxi frowned, it seems that this Dugu Xiu won't give up easily. Mo Huailan's affair, she was still afraid. She wanted to keep a certain distance from Dugu Xiu, lest this beast-like fellow have ill intentions again.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what summons you have for me"

The Empress Dowager signaled Zhang Ma to go outside and wait, then spoke, “You just saw what happened. This old woman truly didn't expect the Emperor to become like this. He wasn't like this before. After ascending the throne, it's as if he were a different person altogether, doing things that are simply incomprehensible.”y accompany me...""Presumptuous!"Before Feng Lingxi could speak, Shu Taifei suddenly rebuked her harshly. She turned and glared at her angrily. Feng Lingxi was taken aback by this attitude and instinc...
