Chapter 366: Revenge 10

his heart. Looking at Xiao Li guarding beside his bed, Dugu Cheng realized for the first time that although he and Xi'er were married, they had never truly connected on a spiritual level, nor could th..."My lady, the Princess is safe within the palace. No one inside has discovered her true identity, you have nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this from Xiaoli, Yao Wan'ying finally let out a breath of relief.

"Guard Xia Er's safety well."

Xiaoli responded, and Yao Wan'ying urged her a few more times before finally feeling relieved.

Feng Lingxi left the Prince's Mansion with Xiao Li and returned to the inn. After changing her clothes, she was escorted into the palace by Huangfu Qingyun. Before parting, she didn't forget to remind her.

As soon as she stepped into the sleeping quarters, Feng Yu Xi, who had come to visit, came into view. Looking at the smile on her face, Feng Ling Xi smiled and walked forward.

"Evening Noble Consort, you sought out this princess"

Feng Yu Xi pulled her hand and sat down. The maidservant on the side immediately presented all the jewelry Feng Yu Xi had brought to her. Looking at these gold and silver ornaments, Feng Ling Xi frowned, "Imperial Concubine Xi, what do you mean by this"

"This concubine just received news that your wedding day with the Fourth Prince has been set, right on the eighth day of next month. These jewels are all gifts from this concubine to you. Take a look and see if there's anything you like"

"Early next month, the 8th Really"

Feng Lingxi excitedly asked, Feng Yuxi hurriedly smiled and nodded, "How could I deceive you about this kind of thing"

"Wonderful, this princess is finally going to marry the Fourth Prince."

In the evening, amidst wind and rain, she saw her joy and said, "The news is absolutely true. This concubine came here especially to congratulate Your Highness on your wish being fulfilled."

"Xī Guìfēi, you are so good to Yáo Huá."

Feng Lingxi turned to look at the gold and silver jewelry that Feng Yu Xi had sent. If she knew that she was Feng Lingxi, she would probably be so angry that she would die from anger, right She never imagined that she would flatter her own most hated self, Feng Lingxi!

"As long as the princess is happy, we'll be family from now on. Don't mention thanks, it's too much."

Feng Lingxi smiled at her, "Xigui Fei, after this princess gets married, I will give Feng Lingxi to the Empress Dowager. By then, if she knows that you are so kind to this princess, she will probably hate you even more."

"She's about to die, why should this concubine care if she hates me or not"

If she didn't want to get close to Princess Yaohua, she wouldn't bother saying these insincere things. What right did Feng Lingxi have to hate her Even if she hated her, so what

Even facing death, could she possibly hate her enough to kill her

Thinking of the pill she had fed her when she fell off the cliff, Feng Yu Xi's fist clenched tightly, the murderous intent hidden in his eyes made Feng Ling Xi's lips curl upwards slightly.

Princess Yaohua, this concubine heard that you are skilled in the art of alchemy and poisons. I wonder if you could help me take a look

Feng Lingxi heard her words and looked puzzled.

"Xi Guifei's complexion was rosy, wanting this princess to help you look at something"

"Just to see the state of this princess's body. This princess ingested a pill given by Feng Lingxi before, just to see what use that pill of hers had."

Having learned that Princess Yao Hua was skilled in alchemy and toxicology, she decided to examine the pills Feng Ling Xi had given her, hoping to uncover their true nature.

The emperor had been with her many times, but she remained untouched. She feared that Feng Ling Xi would turn cruel and use her unborn child against her.

"What kind of pills did she give you"

Feng Lingxi eagerly asked, her eyes shining with excitement. Feng Yu Xi shook her head, “She didn’t say anything, that’s why this princess wanted Yao Hua to take a look.”

"Give me your hand."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly reached out to take Feng Yuxi's pulse. Feng Yuxi watched her serious expression, and couldn't help but feel nervous.

Well, have you got any results

As the wind and rain fell in the evening, she lowered her wrist and hastily asked.

"The Empress Xu is in good health."

"No problem"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Fengyu Xi looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes full of confusion. "Are you sure it's Princess Yao Hua Since this concubine took the pills from Feng Lingxi, she has never been able to conceive a child."

"Didn't you get pregnant"

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi nodding, “There are many ways for concubines in the palace to not conceive, but what has Gui Fei offended”

Wind and rain, Xi's heart skipped a beat. In this palace, no one wanted her to be pregnant, "Princess Yao Hua, are you sure that the pills Feng Lingxi gave this concubine have nothing to do with it"

"This princess simply hasn't seen any problems."

Feng Lingxi shrugged. The pills she had given Feng Yu Xi back then were just ordinary medicine. She hadn't specifically concocted any poison. It was just to scare Feng Yu Xi and make her uneasy for the rest of her life.

"Could they really be behind this"

As evening fell, Feng Yu Xi subconsciously stroked her belly. Thinking about the time when she was favored, the Empress would always send people to bring her nourishing supplements. Could it be that the Empress was harming her

"Who are you talking about"

Feng Lingxi curiously leaned forward, Feng Yu Xi hastily accompanied a smile and said, "No, this concubine doesn't know who it is either."

"Noble Consort Xi, if you wish to conceive a child, you must make an effort."

When the sun sets after a storm, the emperor hasn't touched her for a long time. It's difficult to conceive a child when this is the case.

The power struggles in this harem never ceased, and even becoming pregnant didn't guarantee safety.

"The princess must be tired from going out today, this concubine won't disturb the princess's rest and will return first."

Feng Yu Xi got up as dusk approached, taking her maidservant and leaving.

"Your Highness, is it really safe for Consort Xi to be taking these pills"

After the wind and rain subsided, Xiaoli asked out her doubts.

"I just had some ordinary pills on me at the time, so I grabbed one and shoved it in her mouth, just to scare her."

It seems there are quite a few people who don't want Xi Gui Fei to become pregnant.

Feng Lingxi sneered, "There are many concubines in this palace. Have you seen any who have given birth to princes or princesses"

Despite having so many concubines, Dugu Yan had no children. It wasn't easy to give birth to an heir in this palace, with the Empress Dowager and the Empress both vying for that position.

"Let's go see the Empress Dowager."

Feng Lingxi tidied her appearance and brought the tonic that Xiaoli prepared for the Empress Dowager. She hadn't seen the Empress Dowager in a day, and she missed her quite a bit.

Shou'an Palace

Cen Taizi was rubbing her temples, feeling utterly drained all day. She had no appetite for anything, much like she was ill.

The imperial physician examined her, but couldn't determine what was wrong.

"Empress Dowager, Yao Hua has come to see you."

Feng Lingxi held a bowl of bird's nest and walked forward. Seeing the imperial physician beside Empress Cen, the smile on her face disappeared. She hurried forward and asked with concern, "Empress Dowager, what's wrong Where are you feeling unwell"

When Empress Cen saw Feng Lingxi, she comforted her and said, “I just feel weak all over, I have no appetite for anything, so I’ve called the imperial physician to take a look.”

Feng Lingxi looked at the imperial physician treating the empress, and hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician, why is the Empress so weak all over"

"To Princess Huayao, I did not see it either."

Feng Lingxi looked at the Empress Dowager and hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, the imperial physician said there was no problem, it must be that you were too tired. Yao Hua will knead your shoulders for you, and you'll feel better in a while."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and hurriedly kneaded the Empress Dowager's shoulders. The Empress Dowager, having her shoulders kneaded, felt surprisingly comfortable. In a short while, she felt much more spirited.

"Yao Hua, your technique is so comfortable, I feel much more at ease."

Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "I often knead my parents' shoulders, and they say it feels very good."ought. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Dugu City."You want to persuade me, have me join your ranks, and use my skills to create this... to help you seize control of the world"Dugu City...
