Chapter 193: Palace Change 37

hang. The military orders in his hands are as good as in Li Shang's hands.”"Uncle Emperor, you're talking about Lan Zhan""It was him. Back then, the princess treated him very well, and he should have...The sound of a suona horn echoed from outside. Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli, who hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, it's for the funeral of Fei concubine."

"Well, since they're all dead, it's time to clean up the palace. Keep an eye on things, and I'll be out later."

"Your Highness, where are you going I shall accompany you."

Feng Ling Xi curled her lips into a smile and leaned into Xiao Li's ear, "Secretly rendezvousing with the Prince."

Xiao Li was frightened by her words and took several steps back, her face flushed red, "Your Highness, you..." This was too direct, wasn't it

Feng Lingxi, seeing her like this, smiled even wider. "Go see if there's anything you need help with, I'll go to the apothecary."

Although Feng Lingyu agreed to go with her, she is still Feng Lingyu after all. It's hard to tell if she has enough ruthlessness. It seems like the only way is to cultivate her properly.

"If the Princess wants something, she should just tell this King. Why would she say she wants to have an affair in front of Xiao Li"

"Dugu City..."

Feng Lingxi was startled by his voice and turned abruptly, only to be pulled into Duguo City's embrace. He forced her to look into his eyes, his handsome face captivating her gaze, the smile on his lips causing her heart to race.

"You...when did you get here"

She didn't even realize he had come, how careless of her.

Dugu Cheng pinched her chin, his fingers gently stroking the edge of her lips. Feng Lingxi hurriedly moved his hand away, her expression flustered, "What I just said to Xiaoli were all jokes... Mmm."

Before he could finish his words, Dugu City leaned down and kissed her lips. Looking at her wide eyes, he smirked and deepened the kiss.

It had been so long since he'd touched her, even a kiss felt like a luxury.

"My lord, it's not good..."

The door was slammed open with a bang. Ye Xi saw the two people kissing in front of her and was so startled that she turned away. Feng Lingxi was also startled and hurriedly pushed away Dugu Cheng, glanced at his slightly open clothes, hurriedly straightened them, her face flushed red.

Du Gu Cheng's handsome face darkened, he gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Xi, "You better give this king a reason, or this king will throw you to the qing-lou, letting you stay in there for three days and three nights without coming out."

Xi'er had finally managed to get him to kiss her, and he actually ruined the moment. At this time, Dugu City really wanted to strangle Ye Xi to death.

Ye Xi was so frightened that she stammered, "Your Highness, someone stopped Concubine Feng's coffin and said they wanted to open it for an autopsy. I hurried here to report to you."

"Who's tired of living and wants to get checked after being buried"

Dugu City's eyes were filled with killing intent. Feng Lingxi saw this, "Don't talk about it first, let's go and see for ourselves."

"Xi'er, just don't go..."

Dugu City's voice suddenly softened, Ye Xi swallowed nervously. He somehow felt that the King this time was going to skin him alive.

But the situation was urgent, this really wasn't his concern.

Under the bright blue sky, who would have thought they were getting intimate inside a pharmacy.

"It's Sister Two's body after all, how can I not go."

Feng Lingxi dropped a sentence and left the pharmacy. Dugu Cheng followed, watching Ye Xi smiling beside him, and patted him, "Deduction of two months' salary as punishment."

"No way"

Ye Xi jun's face fell, and he hurriedly chased after the King, "Your Majesty, you can't do this, my wages for this month are already…"

"Then three months."

Night Xi immediately shut her mouth. If she continued, she feared that all her efforts for the year would be in vain.

The tomb of the concubine Feng was arranged outside the city. Dugu City took Feng Lingxi there, and when they reached outside the city, he jumped off the carriage and walked towards them.

"My Lord, it's them who insist on opening the coffin and examining the body."

The funeral was arranged by Dugu City's secret guards, who were there to prevent anyone from opening the coffin and inspecting the body.

"Four Kings, we are all here on orders to perform an autopsy. As soon as we confirm the body is correct, we will leave immediately."

The chief coroner was the Empress's confidante. Even at this critical juncture, she was still keeping a close eye on things. It seemed she wasn't convinced about Feng Lingyu's death. But what could there possibly be about Feng Lingyu that would warrant her repeated investigations into her demise

Could it be that Fenglingyu knows her secret, something that could threaten her position

"Don't you think that after returning to the capital and staying for a while, this King has become more gentle and cultured, no longer taking lives"

Feng Lingxi almost laughed out loud when she heard him describe himself like that.

"Fourth Lord, I was only following orders. Please do not make things difficult for me."

"My lord, how about this First, you let me stab you in the heart, then you take poison, and then have someone else stab you. If you still don't die after all that, then this princess will personally order an autopsy on you."

"Fourth Princess Consort, what are you saying"

Isn't this asking for trouble

Dugu Cheng looked at the coroner, "What are you afraid of The Feng side concubine only had these three things before and after. She didn't survive, but you might just live!"

"Lord Four Kings, I am merely following orders. Please do not make things difficult for me."

Dugu City waved his hand, "Yexi, give the dagger to this king."

Ye Xi quickly took the dagger and offered it to Dugu City. Dugu City played with the dagger in his hand, its cold light flashing, making the coroner's brow furrow.

"My lord, Consort Feng was stabbed by a woman. There's no other woman here besides me. Why don't you let me do the stabbing"

Feng Lingxi walked before Dugu Cheng, snatching the dagger from his hand. The sharp blade caused the coroner's expression to change abruptly.

Who's there among you

Feng Lingxi walked forward, holding a dagger, "This princess will be gentle when she makes her move."

This isn't like someone who is foolish, how could anyone willingly get stabbed Feng Lingxi's words made the people who came to perform the autopsy instinctively take a step back. The coroner's forehead was dripping with sweat.

"Your Majesty will give you a cup of tea's worth of time. If you are still dawdling and delay the auspicious time for Concubine Feng to be buried, Your Majesty will have you all buried with her."

Feng Ling's dagger was thrust before the coroner, her eyes fiercely sweeping over the crowd. "Today, whoever dares to touch this coffin, this Princess will kill them."

At first, these words from a woman with no martial arts seemed harmless. However, they were terrified, especially by Feng Lingxi's gaze, which was so fierce it felt like she could torture them all.

"Fourth Royal Wife, you're not making it difficult for your subordinate..."

Feng Lingxi grabbed the coroner, pulling out a dagger from the ground and holding it to his throat. The agile move caused Dugu Cheng's eyes to narrow slightly. Could Xi'er really be skilled in martial arts

That night, she was drugged. It's normal for her strength to increase a bit after being drugged, but her current forceful action doesn't seem fake at all.

To be honest with you all, when I was at the General's Mansion, I didn't have much skill. I just learned a bit of medicine from my master, who was a wandering martial artist. It's similar to what an undertaker does. Now that you want to examine Concubine Feng's body, this princess also wants to perform an autopsy for you.. Riches and power, who could guarantee that he would still be as innocent as before"Naturally, I would have known if he had reported back and wouldn't have brought him to see you. If he had told Lish...
