Chapter 760: Imprisonment 20

    

o serve her and let the Fourth Princess Consort teach you properly.""The Empress Dowager"Feng Yu Xi was stunned, she was asked to serve Feng Ling Xi But she was the emperor's woman! To ask her to serv..."Just say what you have to say. There's no need for formalities between you and me."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were fixed on Empress Dowager Cen, "This title of Great General who guards the Nation, the Empress Dowager still issued an imperial edict, to give it to Dugu City."

"Give it to him"

Then Empress Cen raised an eyebrow, Feng Ling Xi nodded, looking at the furrowed brows of the Empress, "Does Your Majesty think I have ulterior motives"

"Are you saying that apart from Dugu City, no one else in the court is suitable for this title"

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, watching Empress Cen's contemplative expression. He spoke in a low voice, "I understand that the Empress has concerns, but this is the only way. Conferring the title of Great General of the Nation upon Duguyan City, even if Feng Aotien and Feng Yu Xi are unhappy, they dare not do anything. No one from top to bottom in the Dawan Dynasty will object."

"I know you mean what you say, but Dugu City is the Prince and holds the title of Generalissimo. It's a bit inappropriate to have such conflicting titles."

Feng Lingxi then said, “Why not have the Dowager Empress bestow upon him the title of Protector General of the Country”

Empress Dowager Cen frowned, "The Marquis Protector"

"The Guardian Marshal can too."

Feng Lingxi didn't really care about these titles. To Dugu Cheng, having them bestowed upon him was actually inviting trouble. However, it could make Empress Cen and Dugu Yan even more reliant on Dugu Cheng.

Given the current circumstances, it's best to wait and see what happens before making any decisions.

She never cared for kings, princes, or generals.

That's doable.

Queen Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, her expression solemn. "I bestow upon you this title. From now on, we will all work for the Great Yuan Dynasty's rivers and mountains. Feng Lingxi, I know your thoughts. Like me, after eliminating Feng Yu Xi, both of us will be like this. This bestowed title, once Feng Yu Xi is eliminated, will be void."

"The military power bestowed upon the emperor will also be returned. Let's cooperate."

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly. Although Empress Cen had some worries in her heart, she had no other choice now.

Feng Lingxi's possession of the Yao Clan's treasure, and the power of Dugu City, are exactly what the court needs. Dugu Xiu and Dugu Yu have ambitious hearts and both covet the throne. Feng Yu's actions in secret alliances with unknown parties raise concern. If she doesn't eliminate these internal threats, the Empress Dowager position of the Great Yuan Dynasty may be lost before she even lays her hands on the Yao Clan's treasure, possibly being overthrown by them.

"The Empress will discuss this with the Emperor."

Feng Lingxi responded and watched as Empress Cen, accompanied by Zhang Mama, left. She then led Xiao Li back to her own bedroom and looked at the maidservants guarding the entrance, Xiao Li's eyes filled with confusion.

"Your Highness, so many people are looking at you"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, “They are all here to testify for me. As long as I stay in the palace, they won’t do anything to me. They just let those who have ill intentions know what I’m doing here, so as to avoid gossip.”

Xiaoli understood, entered the dormitory, and found that the rooms were all very good, so she felt relieved.

"Although there are people watching here, at least it's more comfortable than being in jail."

Feng Lingxi rubbed her aching shoulders and glanced at Xiao Li. "Put the things down, you'll rest beside my bedchamber tonight. There's a soft mat."

Xiaoli smiled knowingly, "I'm content to sleep wherever as long as I'm by the princess' side."

Feng Lingxi responded and glanced at the door before beckoning Xiao Li. The two entered the inner hall.

"Xiao Li, I ask you, has anything happened in the Heavenly King's Mansion Does my mother know I'm imprisoned Is she alright"

With a daughter-in-law like her, the empress dowager truly hasn't had an easy time.

Little Li shook her head. “Shutai doesn’t have anything wrong, these days she is just worried about the princess’s safety. This time entering the palace was also her idea, and she said that if I couldn’t get in, she would find a way to send me to the princess so I could be with her.”

Feng Ling's nose tingled, her eyes welling up with emotion.

“I am truly sorry, Mother. I have worried you again.”

"The Shutai Empress said, 'As long as you are well, she will be content.'"

Xiao Li's words made Feng Ling Xi's nose tip increasingly sour, her eyes moistened.

"Mother Empress, is she really alright"

Feng Lingxi wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, "I'm embarrassed to face her now. Since Feng Aotian has severed ties with his daughter, I won't be a member of the General's Mansion anymore."

Xiaoli reached out and hugged the princess. Feng Lingxi nestled in her arms, tears flowing even more fiercely.

"Your Highness, the General's Manor has never been kind to you. You are not alone, are you You have the King, the Clan Head, and even the Imperial Noble Consort, everyone treats you with utmost kindness."

Xiao Li was soothing the Princess, Feng Ling Xi choked and nodded her head, tears streaming even harder.

After crying for a while, Feng Lingxi wiped away her tears and gave Xiaoli a smile. “Xiaoli, thank you. I’m fine now.”

Her inner turmoil poured out, and she could find strength again.

"Come on, Queen!"

Xiao Li made an encouraging gesture, Feng Ling Xi and she smiled at each other, their mood improved a lot.

She's also, arriving here with one thing after another happening, she almost forgot that her body was only sixteen years old, not yet seventeen. She's still a child, bearing too much.

"Now that I've vented, let's get down to business."

Feng Lingxi got up and went to the door, saying, "Get some pastries here, I'm a little hungry."

When giving her orders, she took a moment to glance around. Back in her private chambers, Feng Ling Xi turned to Xiao Li and asked, “What has the Clan Chief been busy with these past few days Has he really been investigating the identity of that person who helped me before”

"As for the chieftain, I truly have no say in that. However, I did discover something. The chieftain has many people in the capital city. When he came to see the princess that day, I overheard everyone around him calling him 'Master'."

"This isn't normal, he became chieftain at such a young age, there's no way he did it without some skills."

Feng Lingxi thought about Luoli's attitude this time entering the palace. She went straight to her without saying a word to the Empress Dowager or Dugu Yan. In the entire court, who dared to do so Luoli was truly a mystery.

"Your Highness, Doctor Li is also very worried about you. When I went to find you that day, Doctor Li gave me several prescriptions and told me to keep them safe, saying that if needed, I should use them on Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi thought of Li Wuyan, the smile on her lips widening.

"I am a very grateful person, no matter what, I'm happy."

"Your Highness, the pastries have arrived."

Xiao Li hurriedly got up and looked at the cakes and fruits brought in by the palace maids. She hurried forward to help, smiling and greeting them. The palace maids only nodded their heads and didn't get close to Xiao Li.

After eating some pastries, Feng Lingxi took a nap for about an hour. However, Feng Yu Xi came to Shou'an Palace to find her just as she was waking up. Feng Lingxi was puzzled until she found out that Feng Yu Xi had quarreled with the Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager Cen fell ill in anger. At this moment, all the imperial physicians were busy attending to her.

Feng Yu Xi led a group of palace maids to stand outside Feng Ling Xi's bedroom. Seeing Feng Ling Xi and Xiao Li come out, she waved her hand, and the palace maids immediately stepped forward and held Feng Ling Xi down. Xiao Li hurriedly stepped forward, but was also grabbed.ind this strange The Empress summoned Long Gui Fei, but she was suddenly assassinated on the way back. To kill someone unseen within the palace... I couldn't possibly do such a thing."Dugu Yan knew wh...
