Chapter 585: Conspiracy 71

wants Xi'er to move into the East Palace. But she's still your sister-in-law after all! If this gets out, wouldn't I be branded as a woman who stole her brother""Your Highness, why don't you consider...Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng looked at each other, and both said in unison, "It's the Black-Clothed people again"

"Could it be the same group we met before"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, seeing his brows furrowed in confusion.

"Well, you've met the assassins in black too"

Feng Yu Mo looked at the two people, thought for a moment, and continued, "Their martial arts skills are not very strong, but their goal is very clear. They are targeting me. When they fought, they all targeted me. Feng Yi Xuan hid in the shadows, they didn't even glance at him."

"Could the man in black we met when we left San Wangfu before be a mastermind behind this"

Dugu City sank his voice and asked, "These people seem to be targeting those around us."

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking of the previous few chases, they seemed to be the same.

"Yu Mo, are there any marks on these black-clad men, especially their wrists"

Feng Yu Mo shook his head. "I looked carefully, but there's nothing."

"That is to say, the other party was worried that if they hadn't killed Yu Mo, their identities would be exposed, so they did a clean job."

Feng Yu Mo nodded, "I feel the same way too, but why would they want to kill me"

"I'm not sure. We were chased by men in black several times during our journey back to the capital. Even Dugu City's guards were ambushed, with the same purpose every time. But there are no leads."

"This means that the mastermind behind these black-clad individuals is a single person."

Feng Yu Mo looked at the question in his elder sister's eyes and pondered for a moment, "Sister, do you think they came for your husband, or for you"

Thinking of the person who came to save her, Feng Lingxi was very sure that the other party was not sent by the Yao Clan. Those in black and the ones who kidnapped her mother were the same group. Dugu Yu once said it wasn't him who sent them. After all, they were now considered partners. If Feng Lingxi died, he wouldn't benefit either. The only explanation was the person behind this storm on the eve of the festival.

"I think this assassination attempt was also done by that person."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "All the things are connected together, it's not hard to guess that the person who kidnapped my mother and the masked men who repeatedly made fools of us around and assassinated me are all orchestrated by the mastermind behind Yu Xi."

Gone without a trace, beyond judgment.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "This matter, this king will secretly send someone to continue investigating, from Feng Yuxi."

"No, I think we're already within their sight. It would be useless for us to check on them; there's no point."

"Then we just wait for them to slaughter us"

Feng Yu Mo clenched his fist, "This is simply too unfair to my sister."

Du Gucheng frowned, the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, it was indeed a headache.

"Perhaps not. As long as we find someone who can deal with Feng Yu Xi, that's all that matters. If I'm not mistaken, this assassination attempt wasn't meant to actually kill me, but rather a warning to stop treating Dugu Yan."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes narrowed, and suddenly everything came clear before her. The pieces connected, and everything made sense.

"That makes sense."

Dugu Cheng's eyes were filled with worry, "Xier, these days Dugu Yan's condition has worsened considerably. I'm afraid they are really going to poison him."

“Let’s enter the palace another day. While I’m injured, they haven't killed Dugu Yan. This gives us a chance. How could I let them get away with it It’s our turn to take action.” The more she tried to make her life miserable, the better she wanted to live.

Duguo Cheng looked into her resolute eyes, knowing he couldn't argue with her. He could only follow her lead, just as Xi'er had said, they had missed the best opportunity by not killing Duguo Yan during this time.

"This king will accompany you into the palace."

"You have more important things to do."

Wind Ling Xi rushed toward Dugu City, gave him a mysterious smile, and looked at his confused eyes. She leaned into his ear and said a few words. Dugu City raised his eyes to look at her, "Are you sure"

"Of course, you trust me once."

"Okay."

He always believed in her, as long as she could protect herself, he would do anything for her.

"Sis, you and brother-in-law both have missions, what about me Can I go into the palace with you"

He is so grown up and has never been to the palace. He also wants to see what the palace looks like.

"You have something important too, I'll tell you later. This palace isn't fun. If you really want to go, wait until there's nothing else going on and I'll take you around."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Yu Mo's dismissive expression and chuckled, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Work hard, don't forget your original intention. You want to become a great general, are you afraid there won't be a chance to enter the palace"

"Listen to your brother-in-law."

Feng Yu Mo heard the meaning in their words and naturally didn't make a fuss. He wanted to enter the palace just to protect his sister's safety. Since it was inconvenient, then forget it.

My elder sister has Xiaoli by her side, and the palace is heavily guarded. I suppose they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

The next day, Feng Ling Xi brought Xiao Li into the palace and went straight to Shou'an Palace. Feng Yu Xi wanted to intercept them on the way but never managed to do so. After all, even if she was the Empress, she couldn't stop the Empress Dowager from seeing whoever she pleased.

"Your Majesty, as expected of you, the Empress wants to prevent you from going to Shou'an Palace."

Looking at Feng Yu Xi standing across the lake, Xiao Li whispered softly.

"Just ignore her, she'll still come looking for me when we get out. Let her stew a bit first, so she can really blow up later."

Feng Lingxi arrived at Shou'an Palace and saw Zhang MaMa guarding the gate. She smiled and walked forward, and Zhang MaMa hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. "Fourth Princess Consort, the Empress Dowager knows you are here and specially instructed this old slave to wait for you here. Have you had a smooth journey all the way, Fourth Princess Consort"

"Very well, I shall go and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager at once."

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, the Four Royal Consorts have arrived."

Feng Lingxi entered the inner hall and saw Empress Cen sitting on the couch. She stepped forward to pay her respects, and Empress Cen beckoned her closer, signaling for her to sit beside her.

How is the Fourth Princess doing

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I'm almost fully recovered."

Upon hearing this, Empress Cen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Her tone then turned slightly cold, "No wonder you thought of visiting the palace."

Feng Lingxi rose to her feet and knelt before Empress Cen, her voice full of sincerity. "Xi'er thanks the Empress Dowager for your concern during Xi'er's time of injury. You must have worried greatly."

"Get up, this body is just right, no need for formalities."

Grandmother Zhang hurried forward to help Feng Lingxi up, treating her with such kindness as if she were the emperor's own daughter.

Feng Lingxi returned to the Empress Dowager's side. If it weren't for the relationship of being a treasure from the Yao clan, if the Empress Dowager treated her like this, she would really be touched.

"Regarding your assassination, I'd like to hear your account of it."

The Empress Dowager Cen grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand, her fingers meeting with icy coldness. Her brows furrowed slightly as she placed a warm water pouch in her palm.

Feng Lingxi apologizes and tells the truth.
