Chapter 768: Imprisonment 28

eps forward, but was rebuked by Feng Lingxi, "Don't come any closer.""If I said this was an act with him, would you believe me"Feng Lingxi looked at her, Pi Shuang tossed the medicine bottle from her..."How do you know he didn't mean it"

Mo Huilan looked at Feng Lingxi. There was no anger in her calm eyes. Her fists clenched under her sleeves, and her gaze swept over Feng Lingxi's flat abdomen.

"Do you know why the Dowager Empress summoned Consort Shu"

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes, her gaze puzzled.

"You've been married to the Fourth Prince for a year, but haven't conceived yet. Now, the Fourth Prince is at the peak of his power in court. Ministers are vying for his favor, and many of them have their sights set on him. Plus, with no other concubines in the Fourth Prince's mansion besides you, and the positions of the left and right concubines vacant, they all want to get their daughters in."

Once again mentioning the matter of this concubine, Feng Lingxi thought about how her mother had spoken before about this. She said that Duguo Cheng would never take a concubine. This time when she entered the palace, if the Empress Dowager brought it up, would her mother still stand by her side

Filial piety has three major transgressions, the greatest of which is to have no descendants.

This was what the ancients cared about most. Even if the empress dowager was magnanimous, she wouldn't be without such thoughts, would she

For a moment, Feng Lingxi felt a suffocating sensation in her heart. She wanted to trust them, but she was also afraid that they wouldn't be able to withstand the passage of time.

"Why didn't the Empress Dowager tell me this time and go straight to my mother"

Feng Lingxi spoke in a low voice, her tone laced with suspicion. Mo Huai Lan saw this and said, "She hasn't spoken to you about it before, but she has told you countless times that you would never agree and would never bear children for the Fourth Prince. Yesterday, this concubine overheard the Emperor and Empress Dowager discussing this matter. Today, I summoned Shu Taifei, and now I have come to find you."

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Lan Fei."

Feng Lingxi said thanks, "Now that Dugucheng has gone out of the city to do business and hasn't returned yet, what happened is not something we can decide."

"If the Fourth Prince agrees to take a concubine, would you agree"

Mo Huilan's words carried a hint of probing. Feng Lingxi looked at her, her eyes clear and unreadable.

"Lady Lan, what do you think I should do"

There was a touch of resignation in Mo Huilan's eyes. "No woman wants her husband to take another wife," she said, "but being in the imperial family, how could I not know that even ordinary families have three or four wives and concubines, let alone a royal manor."

After a moment of silence, seeing Feng Lingxi remained silent, Mo Huilan continued, "The Fourth Prince is outstanding. He is now over twenty-five years old and has no children. If the Empress Dowager were to arrange a concubine for him, what could you do"

"Yeah."

If it's Mother Empress's intention, what can she do What can she do if Dugu City is willing Is there any use in resisting

It will only make him dislike you.

But Feng Lingxi was not a woman who could share her husband with others. So, if such a day truly came, and Dugu Cheng took a concubine into the mansion, then it would be the time for her to leave the Duke's Mansion.

"I can understand what the Fourth Princess is thinking. I came today to tell you this, so that you have a plan in mind."

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly at Mo Huai Lan, "Thank you, Fairy Lan, for informing me."

"It's getting late, this concubine shall return first. If Luo Juzhou comes again, be honest with her and don't let her enter the manor."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod and saw Mo Huilan off, then returned to her own courtyard.

Xiao Li saw her return and hurried forward, "Your Highness, I heard that Lady Lan found you, but what happened"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, looking at Yingliu who was waiting for her inside the house, and walked over.

"Shadow Six has met the Holy One."

"Shadow Six, have you heard any news from the King"

Yǐngliù glanced around and said to Fēng Língxī, "It's alright."

All the Shadow Guards in this dark place were personally arranged by Dugu City, there will be no problem.

"Dugong Yu was unwilling to leave the capital. The other day, I heard that the Prince had gone to Yangshan County, which is Dugong Yu's territory. After that, he disappeared."

"Yangshan County"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow. Dugu Yu's territory was gone, "Have you contacted him"

"Yingba always stayed by his side, and any news would be relayed to him immediately."

Yingliu's words caused Feng Lingxi's brows to furrow. "How far is Yangshan County from the capital"

"Two hundred li is a journey, with a fast horse, it would take a day to go back and forth."

Feng Ling's mind suddenly sparked with an idea. She wanted to go find Dugu Cheng. Now that Feng Linglong's matter was over and the Three Kings' visit to the capital had nothing to do with her, she might as well take a trip to Yangshan County. Perhaps she could lend a hand.

Feng Lingxi had such an idea, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Yingliu.

"The Lord, the chieftain has ordered you not to wander around aimlessly. It is dangerous on Duoluo Yu's side, and he doesn't want you to take risks."

"Shadow Six, I'm only going to Yangshan County for a short trip. Nothing will happen. Besides, you are my Shadow Guard. When have you ever listened to Luo Li"

Feng Lingxi's expression gradually turned cold, and Yingliu lowered his head, saying nothing.

"Your Highness, Shadow Six is also doing this for your own good. After the incident with Consort Long, now that the three princes are going to the capital, Your Husband will surely rush back as soon as possible." Little Li also chimed in, unwilling to see the Princess take any risks.

Just now she heard that this Luo county master came to the capital city just wanting to marry the King's Master, and even told everyone in the house about it, saying that the King's Master had promised to take her as his consort. Now that she has come to the door, if the Princess left at this time, what if she was ambushed on the way Wouldn't that fall into someone else's trap

Feng Lingxi lowered her beautiful eyes, “Alright, no going out. Just tidy up a bit. I'm going to visit Li Wu Yan.”

I'm about to go crazy from staying in the palace.

Today's events truly troubled her. She worried about Dugong City's whereabouts, but at least Yingba was following him, so she could know his news first-hand. Though uneasy, this was all she could do.

Riding in a carriage to Li Wuyan's pharmacy, the pedestrians on the street came and went. Seeing Feng Lingxi's appearance, they did not point.

Li Wuyan's pharmacy was deserted today. Feng Lingxi walked in, and Li Wuyan was selecting herbs. Seeing her arrive, he hurriedly stood up and walked over, politely nodding his head as a greeting.

"Dr. Li, are there no patients today"

Feng Lingxi walked to the examination position and sat down, extending her hand. "Please take a look at me, I feel weak all over and exhausted."

Li Wuyan walked over and sat down opposite her. After feeling her pulse, he frowned slightly. Feng Lingxi had been in the prison these days, and her body was indeed feeling quite exhausted. She had always thought it was due to the many things she had been dealing with these days, causing both mental and physical fatigue, so she hadn't thought much about it.

"How is your body so weak"

Li Wuyan's eyes were full of doubt, "I looked at it for you before, have you been catching a cold a lot lately"

"Doctor Li, the princess has been in prison for a while, could that be related"

"How long have you been here"

Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan's solemn expression, and hurriedly checked her pulse. Afterward, her expression also darkened. There was a heavy chill in her body, no wonder she hadn't felt like herself these past few days.

"Ah Yan, I can cure this myself. It's probably because winter hasn't passed yet and there's too much dampness."

"How can you possibly get pregnant like this"

Li Wuyan's words made Feng Lingxi's body tremble. She raised her eyes to meet his, saying softly, "I can cure it.". He was clever, knowing to give her a step down, but if she simply helped Feng Lingxi clear her name like this, would she still be able to get the Purple Star Would the Araxia Dynasty just let Feng L...
