king at the handwriting above, it did resemble a man's handwriting. She just didn't know who had written it to her.Feng Lingxi opened the letter and looked at the contents inside, her face full of sh...Shou'an Palace

Feng Lingxi stood before the Empress Dowager, but had not yet opened her mouth when outside the palace, Feng Yu XI loudly called out, "Empress Dowager, this concubine has something to request an audience."

"Grandma Zhang, get her out of here."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened. "Tell her, I do not wish to see her."

"Your Majesty, please allow her to enter."

Feng Lingxi interrupted Tai Hou, glanced at the door, and said, "She can't come in now, and I'll have to bother Tai Hou later anyway. It's better to let her come in and hear what she has to say."

"Let her in."

When Feng Lingxi said this, the Empress Dowager agreed. Looking at Feng Lingxi's filthy appearance, she hadn't washed herself in these days, and the smell on her body was a bit unpleasant. However, it was also good that way, so that Yu Xi wouldn't see this and think that it was so comfortable to stay in this cell.

Feng Yu Xi walked in, looked at Feng Ling Xi who was standing there, his eyes turned cold instantly, but quickly concealed it beneath his gaze. He bowed respectfully towards her.

"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"What business does the Empress have with me"

Feng Yu Xi glanced at Feng Ling Xi, her expression solemn. "Your Majesty," she said, "this concubine heard that Your Majesty summoned the fourth princess for interrogation and came here specially to see her."

"Don't you trust my judgment"

As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, Feng Yu Xi's face paled slightly, but she quickly adjusted her expression and said in a respectful tone, "Your servant doesn't mean that. I just want to hear what the Fourth Princess has to say. The Noble Consort Long said that the child in her womb is the Fourth Princess's, but this servant feels there are many doubts. She wants to hear the explanation from the Fourth Princess."

"In that case, the Empress trusts the Fourth Princess's character even more"

Centar's words made Feng Yuxi nod. This sudden change of attitude made Feng Lingxi squint her eyes. This change in Feng Yuxi's attitude clearly intended to bring out Feng Linglong as a scapegoat. It seemed that this time, Feng Linglong was going to be pushed out by her.

"The Empress, then, should speak up and tell us who is behind this"

Wind and Rain looked at Feng Ling, who was staring at her with intense eyes. She said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, these past few days, I have thought carefully about it. The Fourth Princess, being of noble character and virtuous heart, is highly unlikely to have given the abortifacient to Noble Consort Long. She wouldn't be foolish enough to let something like this happen within the Fourth Prince's Mansion, trapping herself in such a predicament."

"The Empress is right, then you should tell me, how did the Fourth Royal Consort's fetus disappear if she didn't poison Consort Long"

Cen Taizi looked at Feng Lingxi, she didn't expect that today during the trial, the Empress would be so actively trying to clear her name.

As the wind and rain subsided, Fengyu pondered for a moment, saying, "This matter is likely not as simple as it seems. The Fourth Princess did not give the Lung Gui Fei the abortion pill, but the Lung Gui Fei's incident at the Fourth Prince's Residence could very well be pre-planned. It's possible that someone gave her the abortion pill before she went to the Fourth Prince's Residence, intending to frame the Fourth Princess."

Feng Lingxi listened to Feng Yu Xi's detailed analysis, the curvature of her lips rising higher and higher.

"The Empress is right. But I don't know who this person is Why would they frame me"

Feng Lingxi's words fell, and she was immediately stared at by Feng Yu Xi. "This matter needs to be asked to the Fourth Princess. Recently, has anyone wanted you dead"

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyebrow, her meaningful gaze caused Feng Yu Xi's eyes to sink. "If this palace wanted to kill you, would I use such a clumsy method"

"The Empress is right, this couldn't have been done by the Empress herself. But if we want to know who did it, we need to ask Long Gui Fei nicely. A good interrogation should reveal the truth."

When the wind howled and rain lashed, Feng Yu's body tensed. Under torture, this delicate Wind Linglong couldn't fall into their hands, or else she would be forced to confess.

"Your Majesty, this servant requests permission to personally investigate this matter and ensure the Fourth Princess is cleared of all accusations."

Feng Yu Xi's attitude made Cen Tai Hou raise an eyebrow. Looking at Feng Ling Xi, she nodded and said faintly, "Then I will follow your suggestion. You are able to put aside past grievances to handle the affairs of the inner court, this Empress is very pleased."

"This is all that a concubine should do."

Amidst the wind and rain, Feng Yu nodded silently. Gazing at Feng Ling Xi, who was staring intently at her, his eyes held a faint indifference, his emotions carefully controlled. Now, he intended to simply push Feng Ling Rong out as he had planned. But on second thought, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for Feng Ling Rong. Instead of giving up, why not use this opportunity Perhaps he could help Feng Ling Rong save her life.

"I don't know how the Empress intends to arrange for me. Since the miscarriage of Long貴妃 is unrelated to me, I wonder if I can return to the Fourth Prince's Mansion"

Feng Lingxi spoke, "This Feng Yu Xi truly has some methods. The Empress Dowager entrusted this matter to her, and she took it all upon herself. It seems Feng Linglong might still be able to stay for a while longer. She needs to strike at Feng Yu Xi and find out who is pulling the strings behind her."

"I'm afraid the Fourth Princess Consort will have to remain in prison for a few days. This palace needs time to investigate who poisoned and framed Noble Consort Long before she can be exonerated."

The Fourth Princess lives in Shou'an Palace, and the Empress Dowager personally looks after her. This prison is damp and moldy; it’s no place for a person to live. She is frail and can’t bear it.

Then Empress Cen spoke, her voice heavy with sadness and regret. Feng Yu Xi, however, raised an eyebrow. What did it mean to not be a place for humans Hadn't she been staying there for days already

Besides, she left herself at Shou'an Palace, nothing more than to monitor her and take the opportunity to discuss the Yao Clan treasure with her. She truly thought she was being kind and protecting her, didn't she

"Empress Dowager, would this perhaps..."

Queen Cen's face darkened, displeasure etched across her features.

"How so, could anyone dare refute what this Empress says Or do you think that this Empress's words carry less weight than yours now"

Feng Yu Xi's expression changed abruptly, she hurriedly apologized, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I did not mean to disrespect you."

Then Empress Cen let out a cold snort, "Alright, you may go now. This empress is tired."

Feng Yu Xi glanced at Feng Ling Xi, and as she walked past her, she whispered, "Since the Fourth Princess is staying in Shou'an Palace just fine, it's best not to wander around until things are clear."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips and sneered, watching Feng Yu Xi's face turn gloomy as she left. She then turned to the Empress Dowager and said, "Do you think the Empress can really find out the truth"

She could have found out about it naturally, but this time, she was probably going to escape again.

Empress Cen gently massaged her temples, "Feng Lingxi, this imperial concubine wants to know the condition of Feng Linglong's fetus in her womb."

Since he had taken Feng Linglong's pulse, he naturally knew her condition. After all, she was his granddaughter. To say he wasn't saddened by this was a lie.

The fetus in the womb is less than three months old. Calculating by the days, it should have been conceived around the time when the Emperor's body was just being detoxified.

Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment and added, "The Emperor's body at that time was incapable of conceiving."

Empress Cen widened her eyes, staring at Feng Lingxi's eyes which were narrowed. That dangerous aura made Feng Lingxi nod, and the affirmation in her eyes clearly showed on Empress Cen's face, anger evident. What did Feng Lingxi mean by that Could Empress Cen not understand

Feng Linglong's child in her womb was not the emperor's. What was she, to wear the face of royalty

"How confident are you about this"
