Chapter 802: Imprisonment 62
open. Dugu Cheng walked in and said to the maidservant behind him, "The princess is unwell. Bring the food to her room. This King will accompany the princess to eat inside."Sniffing the scent of medic...Mo Huilan caressed her abdomen, her shy gaze giving Feng Lingxi a feeling she couldn't describe. She really didn't want to come, it was too dangerous after all.
If Mo Huilan was fine, that would be great. But if anything happened to Mo Huilan, she'd probably die a horrible death.
"Your Highness, you wouldn't want to come keep me company, would you"
Seeing Feng Lingxi come in without saying a word, Mo Huilan asked out her confusion. Feng Lingxi looked up and hurriedly explained, "Princess Lan misjudged me. I just didn't know what to say, my heart was very frightened."
Only then did Dugu Yan react to Feng Lingxi's meaning. Looking at Mo Huilan beside her, she smiled and said, "Fourth Princess, you don't need to worry. I let you enter the palace to accompany Princess Lan and chat, firstly because Princess Lan and you are about the same age and get along well, and secondly, you have some medical skills. Since Princess Lan has just become pregnant, you understand better what needs to be paid attention to in terms of diet and daily life."
Wind Ling Xi, hearing this, became even more frightened and uneasy. It was precisely because she possessed medical skills that the Zhaoyang Palace would be even more apprehensive. Numerous people were keeping a watchful eye on Lan Fei's belly. If anything were to happen to her, Wind Ling Xi would undoubtedly face capital punishment.
"Your Majesty, this concubine wishes to speak with Fourth Princess alone. You just said Father had arrived, didn't you Please attend to him first, Your Majesty. This concubine is quite content with the company of Fourth Princess."
獨孤雁 nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess, why don't you stay here with Lan Fei"
Feng Lingxi responded with a sound, seeing off Dugu Yan. Looking at Mo Huilan who smiled brightly, she returned a faint smile.
"Your Majesty, would you know why this palace has summoned you"
Feng Lingxi looked at her, Mo Huilan signaled the maids to retreat, only leaving her personal maid by her side. Looking at this scene, Feng Lingxi instinctively raised her guard.
"Don't worry, Fourth Princess Consort. Everyone in this Zhayang Palace is loyal to me. I summoned you here today because I have a few things to confirm with you."
Feng Lingxi, hearing her direct question, replied, "Please speak, Lady Lanfei."
Have you heard that the Fourth Princess and the Empress met at the General’s Residence a few days ago, but things ended unhappily Is there any truth to this
Wind Lingxi heard her ask this, and couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart. This matter had been going on for nearly a month, how come she suddenly brought it up
"To Empress Lan, my relationship with the Empress has always been this way. We simply have different paths and don't consort with each other."
Mo Huilan smiled slightly, reaching out to take Feng Lingxi's hand and gently patting it, smiling in a way that made Feng Lingxi want to pull her hand away.
“The Fourth Princess Consort and the Empress are not together, this Palace is very pleased. You know, in this inner palace, the Empress suppresses this Palace everywhere. Now that she has a child in her womb, but her situation is even more dangerous, if she is not careful, this child might…”
"Lady Lan, the Emperor favors you greatly. The Empress Dowager also instructs people to take good care of you. Your imperial child will surely be born safely."
Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, Mo Huai Lan's words had indeed made her heart panic. Every woman in this inner court was skilled in calculations. How could King Pingbei have such ability Lan Fei could become the only beloved concubine of Duke Yanyu after entering the palace. Without some means, how could she reach her current status today.
Mo Huai Lan looked at Feng Ling Xi's nervous appearance, the smile on her face became even deeper.
"I also hope that the child in my womb can be born safely." Mo Huilan caressed her abdomen, and the love in her eyes eased Feng Lingxi's tense heart a lot.
Perhaps she was overthinking it. Mo Huilan was just a new mother, she wouldn't joke about her unborn child to frame her.
"Fourth Princess, this palace heard you've met the owner of Tianxiang Building. Is this true"
When Feng Lingxi mentioned Tianxianglou, her body stiffened slightly. She looked at Mo Huilan, who smiled and explained, "The Fourth Princess might not know, but this capital has been abuzz with rumors. They say the owner of Tianxianglou once invited the Fourth Princess to have a meal at Tianxianglou, making quite a name for himself and causing envy among others."
When Mo Huilan said this, her eyes were fixed on Feng Lingxi. Although the smile on her face was the same as before, Feng Lingxi could sense the jealousy hidden beneath it.
"I have indeed seen the master of Tianxiang Building, but only for a meal."
"I wonder if the Fourth Royal Wife could tell me what the owner of this Tian Xiang Lou looks like How old are they"
Feng Lingxi looked at Mo Huilan's expectant eyes, guessing a few things in her heart. It was probably the meaning of King Pingbei. However, even if the owner of Tianxiang Building told her, Mo Huilan might not be able to find him.
"Lady Lanfei, to be honest, it's useless to say anything more. The owner of Tianxiang Building wears a mask and doesn't reveal his true face. We have no idea what he looks like. As for his age, judging from the sound of his voice, he's probably around thirty or forty years old, but I can't be sure."
"In that case, the owner of this Tianxiang Building is also a middle-aged man."
Feng Lingxi hummed in acknowledgment, thinking seriously, "Listening to his voice, it is indeed like that. His figure is tall and muscular."
Mo Huilan, upon hearing her candid confession, probed cautiously, "Did he mention why the Fourth Princess invited you to dine with her"
Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Mo Huilan's expectant eyes, a little embarrassed. "He said he was entrusted by someone, but he didn't tell me who that person was."
Feng Lingxi's words shocked Mo Huilan. What kind of person could get the Tianxiang Building owner to do such a thing Wasn't Feng Lingxi the Saint Lord of the Yao Clan
Could there be someone else protecting her behind the scenes
Mo Huilan looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, which had become complex. Her gaze didn't seem to be deceitful. Moreover, even if Feng Lingxi told her where the owner of Tianxiang Building was, she might not necessarily be able to see this person.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the Jianghu who would want to find him.
"Does Lady Lan know anything about martial artists"
Feng Lingxi asked out her confusion, seeing Mo Huilan raise her eyes to look at her, she quickly explained, "I was just curious and asking, if Lady Lan feels it's inappropriate, you don't have to answer."
"This palace has only heard His Majesty mention the owner of this Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. I want to ask the Fourth Royal Consort on behalf of my father."
Mo Huai Lan had someone bring Feng Ling Xi tea. Watching her lower her head in silence as she held the cup, Mo Huai Lan's gaze swept over her pale wrists, and she said with a smile, "Why isn't the Fourth Princess wearing a bracelet Is there not a suitable one"
Feng Lingxi looked at her wrist. She never wore one because her sleeves needed to hide things, and wearing a watch would be inconvenient.
"No..."
"Go and fetch the bracelets that the Emperor bestowed upon this palace a few days ago."
Wind Lingxi heard Mo Huilan's words and hurriedly said, "Lady Lanfei, I have a bracelet, I just don't like to wear it, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Mo Huai Lan interrupted with a smile in her eyes. "Your Highness, don't be so polite. This palace considers you a sister. It's just a bracelet, a small token of my affection."
Feng Lingxi looked at the bracelet that was handed to her, her brows furrowed.
She really didn't want this reward, and at a loss for how to refuse it, she suddenly heard Zhang MaMa's voice, "Lan Fei Niangniang, the Empress Dowager summons the Fourth Princess to Shou An Palace."
Mo Huilan saw Zhang Mama coming and stood up, looking at Feng Lingxi, placing the bracelet in her hand. Zhang Mama glanced at it and smiled, "Fourth Princess Consort, the Empress Dowager had previously bestowed a bracelet upon you, which you refused. How is it that you are now accepting Lan Fei's bracelet"eral Li, please tell this king in detail about the disappearance of Eastern Face. Did Feather and Ink look for you before they vanished"General Li hurriedly took out a letter and handed it to Dugu Cit...
