Chapter 1421: Smoke of War Part 242

.""How could this be"Feng Lingxi couldn't believe his words. The Emperor had passed away, and her mother was missing. In just a few days, how could so many things happen It was too unbelievable."Ye X...Feng Lingxi steadied herself, looking at Feng Aotian's worried eyes. His hand grasped her wrist, and in that instant, Feng Lingxi was truly touched by him. At least everyone hadn't noticed her discomfort, Feng Aotian had.

"I'm fine."

Feng Aotian glanced at the side where the prime minister was. Everyone was over there, and no one noticed Feng Lingxi's discomfort.

"If you can't stand living in the Chen Wangfu, come back to the capital with me. The General's Mansion will always be your home."

Feng Aotien opened his mouth, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes full of sincerity, "I know that when I say these things to you, you will think that I am insincere, but I truly want to make up for the past wrongs I have done to you."

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Even if she truly had nowhere else to go, she wouldn't return to General Manor.

Feng Aotian nodded, knowing she wouldn't agree. Looking at her weary face, he realized that in just a few days, she had lost so much weight. What had this Prince done to her What had he forced her to endure

Nan Gong Huashuang stared at Feng Aotiand and Feng Lingxi, her eyes lingering on Feng Lingxi's slightly pale face. She glanced over to Dugu Cheng, noticing that he hadn't even looked at the princess consort once. Thinking about what had happened these past few days, a hint of triumph gleamed in the depths of her eyes.

Let's go take a look.

Feng Lingxi felt a little better and told Feng Aoti, just in case someone misunderstood them later.

Feng Aotian wanted to help her up, but Feng Lingxi refused. He walked over, and the coroner examined the body. Looking at his skillful technique, Feng Lingxi felt much more at ease. This coroner should be able to determine the cause of death.

After all, this isn't that difficult. With some experience and exposure, anyone can check it out.

"To the Grand Minister, the mistress indeed died from poisoning. The poison was mercury, and it was a result of long-term exposure."

The coroner's answer made the Chancellor angry. He looked at his wife's body in disbelief.

"How could this be..."

"Father and mother have been ill for many years, there might be signs of poisoning in their bodies, but we haven't discovered them."

Nan Gong Hua Shuang held her father's hand, squeezing gently. Seeing his near-collapse, she knew this situation demanded immediate attention. If left unchecked, the consequences could be dire and far-reaching.

"The wife's body has been cremated. I will take her ashes back to the capital for a proper burial."

The Chancellor's voice choked, his face pale and lifeless. He turned to Feng Lingxi, "Princess Consort Chen, as you said, the Madam was indeed poisoned. The Chancellor's doubts have been cleared, and I apologize for the misunderstanding."

Seeing the prime minister apologize to her, Feng Lingxi hurriedly stopped him, "Prime Minister, you are too kind. As long as we can find my wife's body and determine the cause of death, I will be at ease. Prime Minister, please take care of yourself!"

"Father, let me send you back to rest first."

Nan Gong Huashuang looked at her father's face, then turned to Dugu Cheng and said, "Prince Chen, thank you for your trouble."

Dugu Cheng nodded, Nan Gong Hua and the two imperial guards sent the chancellor back before returning to collect his wife's ashes.

Feng Lingxi saw that Dugu Cheng was about to leave, and stepped forward to stop him.

"Dugu City, can you even spare a glance for me now Is it because you're guilty, or have you simply grown tired of me"

Dugu Cheng stopped his steps, hearing Feng Lingxi's question, his heart was struggling painfully, he didn't dare to turn around to face Feng Lingxi, afraid that he couldn't help himself.

"My queen, let us speak when we return home. This is not a suitable place."

Ye Xi stepped forward and whispered, but Feng Ling Xi ignored her, staring straight at Dugu City, demanding his answer.

Du Gu Cheng turned around, facing Feng Ling Xi. The coldness in his eyes pierced his heart like a sharp blade, blood dripping onto his soul.

Feng Ling Xi appeared, and he dared not look at her. Because he had promised Luo Li, he could not go back on his word. But seeing Xi'er like this, his heart ached.

"What do you want this king to tell you Haven't you seen it clearly these past few days You insist that this king make things clear, so that you can give up"

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were resolute, "I want an answer from you."

“Yes, everything you've seen these days is true. This king has fallen in love with Yiy, she will be this king’s future queen. You marry this king and only give birth to one daughter, and even give her to the Yao clan as their leader. You not only have no authority within the Yao clan, but you also bring trouble to this king. And you always act so superior! This king has long been tired of your ways..."

A slap echoed across the room, landing squarely on Dugu City's face. Feng Lingxi's eyes were already brimming with tears, but she didn't cry out. She was suppressing her pain, her whole body trembling violently. Listening to the words pouring from Dugu City's mouth, she couldn't believe her ears. Yet, the piercing pain in her body and soul confirmed that everything he said was true.

Du Gu Cheng touched his face, it hurt, but not as much as the pain in his heart.

Seeing Feng Ling Xi's tears welling up, he wanted to hold her and explain, but he couldn't. He could only watch as anger and despair filled her eyes, his heart aching like it was being ripped apart.

"Ok."

Feng Ling Xi wiped away her tears, trying hard to suppress her emotions as she looked at Du Gu Cheng, "I understand, I will leave Chen Wang Fu as soon as possible. Since Wan'er is the future leader of Yao Clan, then let your Yi Yi give you a son. Feng Ling Xi won't bother you anymore."

Taking a deep breath, Feng Lingxi tried her best to regulate her emotions and said, "Dugu City, last time you lied to me and I forgave you. This time, I won't. You have betrayed me. I said that if you betray me, I will leave and won't cling to you. Today, our relationship ends here."

Feng Lingxi drew her dagger from her waist. Ye Xi rushed forward, hastily shielding Du Gucheng, "Your Highness, don't be rash."

Dugu City pulled away Ye Xi, looking at Feng Lingxi, but saw Feng Lingxi sneer coldly, tears welling up in her eyes, she grabbed her hair and cut it off, throwing it on the ground. Tears streamed down her face, but she held back from crying out loud, looking at Dugu City, "Cutting off my hair signifies severing our ties, Dugu City. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Feng Ling Xi turned around, crying until she was a mess. Feng Ao Tian watched as Dugu Cheng quickly chased after her.

獨孤城 looking at the hair on the ground, his body slowly squatted down, picked up the hair on the ground, one by one placed in the palm of his hand, tears no longer stop flowing, knelt on the ground, painfully closed his eyes.

He finally drove Xi'er to this point.

Night Xi looked at the king like this, wanting to chase after the princess to explain, but she didn't trust the king either. In the end, she stayed and accompanied the king through his sadness. After all, the princess and the king were divorced, so he and Xiao Li would be done playing.

...

Dugu City suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, scaring Ye Xi to quickly support him. Dugu City fainted.

"My Lord."

Ye Xi hurriedly carried Dugu City on her back, and the dark guards rushed out, taking Dugu City away.

Feng Lingxi stumbled out of the forest, she didn't know how she got there. Tears blurred her vision, having cut off her hair and severed ties, she had ultimately been let down by Dugu City.

"You say you still love him, so why make things so final Isn't every man going to have three or four wives You are his princess, no matter what. If I were you, I wouldn't just give up the position of princess to another woman, that's foolish."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ith a voice, and Xiao Simu's expression finally improved a little. Dugu Cheng changed the subject, "It's time for dinner, let's go."The atmosphere had become so oppressive, but now he didn't know what...
