Chapter 369: Revenge 13

eng looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her frown. "This king just said he was the mysterious man from Yao Clan who saved you."Feng Ling Xi's body trembled, her eyes fixed on Du Gu Cheng, a look of disbelie..."There's no hierarchy, but there is a sequence."

Feng Linglong had been resentful towards Shen Yun for a long time. This time, she found an opportunity and reprimanded her severely, finding it hard to swallow this anger.

Feng Lingxi watched the two women glare at each other and hurriedly interjected, "Long Gui Fei, Yun Gui Fei also did this unintentionally. Don't take it to heart."

Feng Linglong's anger flared up, and she immediately shouted, "Shut your mouth! It's none of your business how I discipline her!"

After being reprimanded by Feng Linglong, Feng Lingxi wanted to retort, but her eyes caught sight of Feng Yu Xi accompanying the Empress. Her eyes welled up with tears of grievance, swirling in her eye sockets. She bit her lip, stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall. This scene happened to fall into Feng Yu Xi's eyes. Seeing this, Feng Yu Xi quickly stepped forward, looked at Feng Lingxi and hurriedly asked, "What happened"

"It's okay."

The Empress, seeing the tears swirling in Feng Lingxi's eyes, angrily questioned, "Long Guifei, Yun Guifei, have you been bullying Princess Yaohua"

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Empress, it's all my fault. Princess YaoHua just advised Noble Consort Long to calm down, but was scolded by Noble Consort Long. This servant is guilty and shouldn't have let Princess YaoHua speak for me." Shen Yun's apologetic appearance made Feng Linglong's face turn ashen. She hurriedly said to the Empress, "Empress, why not ask Noble Consort Shen what she said"

The Empress looked at Feng Linglong, then glanced at Shen Yun. Seeing Feng Lingxi's moist eye rims, the Yao Hua Princess, who had always been willful and capricious, wouldn't have red eyes if it weren't for Long貴妃's overly harsh words.

"This palace will remember everything you say and do. Princess Yao Hua is the future Fourth Royal Consort, so don't dare to bully her. Don't even think about taking advantage of her relationship with the Empress Dowager. If this palace finds out that any of you have ulterior motives, this palace will not show leniency."

Wind Linglong wanted to retort, but Shen Yun had already stepped forward. "This concubine knows her wrong, and I beg the Empress for another chance." After speaking, Shen Yun hurriedly pulled Wind Lingxi's hand and apologized sincerely, “Princess Yao Hua, I’m sorry, it was this concubine who was not good, causing you to be scolded by Princess Long.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Shen Yun's teary eyes, this acting, this Shen Yun was even more impressive than her. These tears, came out at will, making her the one who seemed wronged instead.

"Noble Consort Yun, what do you mean by that You are clearly inciting Princess Yao Hua here to use me and Yu Xi to kill Feng Ling Xi. Now you pretend nothing happened, acting as if I wronged you You have the guts to do it, but not the courage to admit it"

Shen Yun was being scolded by Feng Linglong like this, tears welling up in her eyes. Her look of utter grievance made people feel sorry for her.

Wind Linglong was so angry at Shen Yun's appearance that her face turned green. She wished she could rush forward and tear off that hypocritical face of hers.

That's enough!

The Empress rebuked them sharply, looking at Shen Yun and Feng Linglong, “Have you two had enough of arguing What would happen if you didn’t argue for a day”

"The Empress Dowager has decreed that all the ladies-in-waiting and Princess YaoHua will attend her audience."

The eunuchs of Shou'an Palace rushed in at the sound. Feng Linglong and Shen Yun’s faces changed, both looking at Feng Lingxi simultaneously. They hadn’t expected the Empress Dowager to find out so quickly.

"Princess YaoHua, the Empress Dowager has ordered me to escort you there."

Feng Ling followed her grandfather first. Feng Linglong looked at Shen Yun, glaring coldly at her.

"One reaps what one sows."

"You think you're so great, huh Just wait until you meet the Empress Dowager. This concubine wants to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

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

Shen Yun and Feng Linglong's standoff made the Empress' face darken. Looking at Feng Yu Xi who remained silent, she said, "What are you still doing Go see the Dowager Empress."

Feng Yu Xi watched the Empress take the lead and walk forward, hurriedly pulling Feng Linglong. Although they both wished death upon each other, she didn't want anything to happen to Feng Linglong now; otherwise, her life in the palace would be even harder.

"Does Shen Yun really want us to team up and kill Feng Lingxi"

"Well, you don't believe me"

Feng Linglong let out a cold snort, looking at Feng Yu Xi's suspicious eyes, a surge of anger rising in her chest.

"This, I heard with my own ears. This Shen Yun and Princess Yao Hua are probably teaming up against us."

Wind and Rain frowned, "It's unlikely. Princess Yaohua wouldn't team up with her. Shen Yun and the Fourth Prince aren't close, Princess Yaohua wouldn't be so foolish to ally with her."

"We'll see if we join forces.

Wind Linglong looked at Feng Yuxi, "This time if you help me, next time I'll help you."

As dusk fell amidst the wind and rain, the two of them continued to follow the Empress forward.

Shou'an Palace

Feng Lingxi was brought before the Empress Dowager. Seeing Feng Lingxi's red-rimmed eyes, the Empress Dowager immediately beckoned her to sit beside her and asked with concern, "Yao Hua, tell me, what happened How did I hear them say that Long Gui Fei scolded you severely"

"Your Majesty, it's all Yao Hua's fault for being talkative. It has nothing to do with Ronggui Concubine."

Feng Lingxi bit her lip, "I'm fine."

"Don't be afraid, tell me what happened."

Feng Lingxi looked at Cen Tai's concerned eyes and remained silent.

"Ali, you say."

Empress Dowager Cen questioned Xiao Li. Xiao Li glanced at the Princess and hesitated for a moment before telling the Empress Dowager the whole story. After listening, Empress Dowager Cen's face turned ashen. The Empress and others entered and immediately noticed the tense atmosphere in the hall. They hurriedly knelt down to greet her.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Cen Taishi's cold snort sent a chill through the air. Feng Linglong and Feng Yuxi lowered their heads, exchanging uneasy glances. Shen Yun wasn't faring any better, her face contorted in displeasure.

"Your Majesty, you tell me, aren't the three of them ganging up on Yaohua"

Empress Dowager Cen questioned the Empress, implying that this statement was bullying Yaohua. This revealed Feng Lingxi's status in her mind and made Shen Yun and Feng Linglong break out in a cold sweat. They hadn't expected this matter to reach the Empress Dowager's ears.

"Mother, when I arrived, Princess Yaohua was already red-eyed. I have already reprimanded Consort Yunjie and Consort Long. As for the specific details of what happened, I haven't found out yet."

“The Empress has already inquired about it.”

The Empress Dowager rebuked them angrily, her eyes fixed on Feng Linglong and Shen Yun. Her gaze was so cold that they shivered with fear.

"Shen Yun, Feng Linglong, does the empress' words not mean anything to you"

Feng Linglong hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I dare not. Your Majesty, please listen, I admit that I scolded Princess Yao Hua in anger, but it was all because of Gui Fei Yun's provocation. I know that Your Majesty intends to keep Feng Lingxi by your side to personally investigate her crime of poisoning the late Emperor, but Gui Fei Yun instigated Princess Yao Hua to persuade me and Xi Gui Fei to kill Feng Lingxi. I was angry, so my words were inappropriate. I hope Your Majesty will see through this."

“Your Majesty, I absolutely had no such intention. My only wish was for Princess Yao Hua to hand over Feng Ling Xi, so that she could be brought to Your Majesty's side for questioning.” daughter, now over four months old."Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, "Bring Wan'er over so Ye Xi can see her. Since she followed us back then, she was considered family. It's only right for him to see W...
