Chapter 721: 91

u Shi feel extremely uncomfortable.This time she was slapped twice, but all the anger she had was suppressed now.Feng Aotian's face was solemn as he asked again, "Xier, what do you mean by this Your s...After a day of arduous travel and so many things happening, Feng Lingxi was indeed quite tired. Thinking that Dugu City wasn't here yet, she went back to her room to rest.

After Dugu Xiu was imprisoned, news quickly spread to the capital. In the palace, Empress Cen was furious and ordered Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi to return to the capital immediately. She issued an order for them to set off in three days and also instructed Dugu Cheng to go and greet them. If they disobeyed, they would be punished for defying the imperial edict.

Feng Lingxi knew that the news had reached the palace the next day. When Dugu Cheng told her, she was shocked. Dugu Cheng had increased manpower to handle the matter yesterday, but he didn't expect that someone in Linxi County could leak the news. This further confirmed that there were Empress Dowager Cen's informants in Linxi County City.

On the day Feng Lingxi returned to Beijing, it was also the day that Empress Cen spoke. Early in the morning, the carriage was ready, and the luggage was packed. Just as Feng Lingxi was about to set off, a familiar figure appeared before her, still covered in black cloth. Her slender body stood before Feng Lingxi, and those eyes made Feng Lingxi feel familiar.

"Long time no see, Fourth Princess."

Over the past few months, she has learned a lot here. Today, she came to me and asked if Feng Lingxi would take her with her.

"Second Sister."

Feng Lingxi reached out to remove the black veil from her face, but was stopped by the man who grasped her hand and shook his head. The look in his eyes made Feng Lingxi retract her hand. "I'm sorry," she said, "I just want to see you, it's been so long."

"Still call me arsenic, I'm used to it."

Feng Ling xi nodded, her appearance truly startled her.

"How did you get here I thought you wouldn't come to find me."

"I want to return to the capital," Bi Shuang said, "I know you're going back today and I want to go with you. Would you mind taking me along"

Of course.

"Thank you."

Bi Shuang's voice was soft, and when she looked at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes were gentle. She didn't seem like the one who had been filled with extreme anger before. Perhaps after more than half a year had passed, she had become more introverted and collected herself.

"You and I sit together, the weather is nice now, as long as it doesn't rain, it won't be affected."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, nodded at the arsenic, and looked at Dugu Cheng beside her, nodding her head. Her eyes were as calm as a still lake, without a ripple.

"Xier, why don't you all ride in a carriage This king and they will ride horses together."

Feng Lingxi nodded and followed him. Looking at Pi Xiang's slender figure, after getting on the carriage, she asked.

"Arsenic, where have you been for the past six months You've lost so much weight!"

Bi Shuang's eyes darted outside, "Fourth Royal Consort, I heard that Sixth Prince was imprisoned by you. This time returning to the capital, you had him escorted back to be severely punished. Is this true"

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly. How could she possibly know this news

Even though there were Empress Dowager Cen's informants within Linxi County, it was unlikely that news would reach her ears.

"Arsenic Who told you Dugu Xiu was here"

"Pishuang looked at Fengling's eyes, which were still calm and unruffled. "I heard it from the common people when I was in the county town. They said that Prince Si was powerful and had imprisoned Prince Liu."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow. How could commoners be discussing this matter This was a confidential matter, impossible for the public to know about. The word "arsenic" raised too many doubts.

He is indeed in my hands, and will be brought back to the palace to meet the emperor. How to atone for his sins is not up to us to decide.

Arsenic softly responded, "May it be dealt with according to the law."

"Yes."

Arsenic wasn't questioned, the carriage left Linxi County. Feng Lingxi, who usually had the habit of taking a nap in the carriage, couldn't sleep now that Arsenic was in her compartment. She had many doubts.

She felt something was off about Axiang's return this time. Her questions were very direct, and what bothered her the most was that after half a year, Axiang seemed uninterested in her affairs. She only came for Dugu Xiu. Moreover, if she knew Dugu Xiu was imprisoned, she should have known about Feng Yixuan's death.

As Feng YiXuan's older sister, she couldn't possibly be indifferent to Feng YiXuan's death.

During the day, Feng Lingxi discovered that after starting to ask her about Dugu Xiu, Pishafrost no longer spoke to her. When they rested at the inn, after having dinner together, she went back to her room. This change made Feng Lingxi feel very strange, Pishafrost's behavior and mannerisms were a bit off.

"Dugu Cheng, what do you say is the biggest change this time for arsenic to come back"

Feng Lingxi returned to her room, racking her brains, feeling that the arsenic's actions were too abnormal.

獨孤城擰眉，“發生了什麼事？本王今日一直在騎馬，她可是有什麼不對的地方？”

Feng Lingxi told Du Gucheng about A's reaction today, watching his furrowed brows, Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Don't you also think her reaction is a bit strange"

"It is indeed strange. She seems very curious about Du Gu Xiu's affairs, yet she didn't ask about Feng Yi Xuan's death. It's impossible that she doesn't know. Her silence suggests she might be hiding something."

"Will she try to probe me for information"

She still had some feelings for her brother Feng Yixuan, after all they were siblings. Blood is thicker than water; there was no reason she wouldn't care about his life or death.

"Why don't you try probing her tomorrow and see what she says"

Feng Lingxi nodded. She also had this intention. Let's see how Pi Xiang reacts before saying anything further.

"This king will have someone keep an eye on her. If there's truly a problem, it's always good to be cautious."

I'm afraid she might become someone who saves Lone Wolf. She could have saved him before, half a year ago. There's no guarantee that she would still save him now.

"Get some rest too, don't think about it so much."

Dugu Cheng looked at the speculation in her eyes, reached out to help her up, and urged her to rest on the bed.

"Dugu City, on our journey so far, have you said there would be danger"

Feng Lingxi didn't know why her heart suddenly panicked, as if something was about to happen.

Empress Cen was truly angry now. It seemed that imprisoning Dugu Xiu this time had really angered her. Moreover, this time when she went back, she couldn't give Empress Cen the Yao clan's treasures, plus Feng Yu Xi and Feng Linglong. Who knew how intense life would be after she returned.

With Luo Li's protection, what are you worried about Don't forget how well Luo Li protected us when we first arrived.

"But this time back to Beijing, didn't he say he would protect us"

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, she still had to say hello to Luoli tomorrow, after all. This time, she brought arsenic back to the capital. When she got to Tian Xiaomi's place, she had to find a chance to hide Feng Yixuan so that people wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Dugu Cheng coaxed her to sleep before he went about his own business.

The next day, Bishuang remained silent throughout the journey. At mealtimes, she would simply carry her food and leave, never removing her veil in his presence. As they neared the inn in the afternoon, Bishuang suddenly inquired about Feng Yixuan.

"Fourth Royal Wife, is Yi Xuan truly dead"wing the reason. Huangfu Qingyun sighed softly, the sorrow in his eyes, increasingly heartbreaking to look at.Feng Lingxi suddenly didn't know what to say when she heard his words.Their relationship,...
