Lingxi became even more confused."But Dugu City never mentioned to me that the late emperor wanted him to ascend the throne. How could the Third Prince have such a task"Third Princess Consort looked...Several mamas rushed out from behind Feng Linglong and went straight towards Xiao Li, grabbing her arms and raising their hands to slap her. But before their hands could fall, Feng Lingxi stepped in, grabbed the hand about to strike Xiao Li, and with a crack, dislocated the mama's hand.

Whoever dares to touch my person, I shall hold them accountable.

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes swept over the two maids who were holding onto Xiao Li. Her icy gaze made them tremble and lower their heads, afraid to meet her stare.

“Concubine Feng, the Empress has pardoned you to return, but it's not for you to come back here and show off your power. Don't forget, your mother's bones are yet unburied, and you are in mourning. If you cause any more trouble, think carefully about the consequences. If this gets out, will you even be able to keep your position as a concubine”

Feng Ling Xi's words did not cause Feng Ling Long any fear whatsoever.

She was pardoned by the Empress herself and returned. Besides, Feng Ling Xi offended the Empress. She thought she could get away with anything because she had the Fourth Prince supporting her. She probably doesn't know that in this palace, only certain people's words hold weight.

"Princess Four's such a big mouth, is she trying to use Fourth Prince's favoritism to look down on everyone"

"How could the Concubine of Wind's Side dare to bully the Empress right before her eyes"

Feng Linglong's face changed slightly when she heard this. She was originally here on a mission, and now Feng Lingxi's words made her very uneasy.

"What does the Fourth Princess mean I was pardoned by the Empress and returned to General's Mansion."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort and walked before her. Seeing the fleeting panic in her eyes, she said coldly, "If Feng Ce Fei truly cared about the Empress Dowager, how could she not know to restrain herself If because of today's incident, it gets to the Empress Dowager's ears, I'd like to know how you plan to explain yourself."

Wind Linglong was about to refute when she heard Wind Lingxi continue, "Could it be that Concubine Feng is saying that everything she did today was a special pardon from Empress Dowager, allowing her to return and embarrass her"

"Feng Ling Xi, what do you mean by that Where did I embarrass the Empress"

Feng Linglong's eyes, usually so sharp and bright, were now red with tears. This Feng Lingxi was vicious; she thought that by hurling a few insults, she could scare her into submission.

"You also know it was the Empress's birthday amnesty that allowed you to return. You should know that it was the Empress's mercy that led to this. Now, my mother is critically ill, but Concubine Feng is making a scene here, deliberately delaying the time for me to treat her. This isn't just being difficult, she's intentionally trying to harm my mother. If this gets out, people will think it was Empress Dowager who instructed you to do this. Once it spreads, I think Concubine Feng would have a hard time explaining herself to the Empress."

"You..."

Feng Linglong was so forcefully blamed, she was furious and wanted to slap her. Feng Aotian hurriedly pulled Feng Linglong aside.

"Stop arguing, we need to treat the mistress first. Linglong, please go out."

Wind Ling swept a cold glance over the people in the room, and shouted fiercely, "Xiao Li, no one is allowed to enter without this princess's permission. Anyone who dares to step inside even half a step will be beaten up directly by this princess."

"Yes."

Xiaoli waved her hand, and Liu Mama immediately ordered Chenshin and Chenyi to guard the door. She herself stood in front of Feng Linglong, "Consort of the Crown Prince, please."

Feng Linglong glared fiercely at Feng Lingxi before angrily leaving.

Feng Aotian glanced at Feng Lingxi, just about to speak, when he was intimidated by her cold and sharp eyes into swallowing his words.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Feng Lingxi suddenly called out to him.

"Father, this matter wasn't something my daughter should have interfered with today. But Mother only has me as a daughter, unlike Father who has many children. Even if I were gone, there would still be many sons and daughters. If Mother gets through this alright, it's good. But if something happens to her, then Father should consider us mother and daughter as nonexistent."

Feng Lingxi's words made Feng Aotien stiffen, he turned his head to look at her, the anger in his eyes flaring up. Before he could speak, Feng Lingxi issued an expulsion order, "Father, go out. I think Mother doesn't want to see you either."

Feng Aotian looked at her cold and fierce eyes, remained silent for a long time, then angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

"Close the door."

Feng Lingxi shouted in a fierce voice, the door slammed shut, and Feng Aotian's face turned ashen. "This is getting more and more out of control," he said angrily.

"Father, it seems this household is all according to Feng Lingxi's say-so. This main wife acts as if she's superior even to me, a concubine of the prince."

Feng Linglong's voice was dripping with sarcasm. If it wasn't for her killing their mother, how could she be treated so coldly by the prince She refused to believe that she would lose to Feng Lingxi.

She is my rebellious daughter, and she can be as arrogant as she wants.

Thinking of her just words, Feng Aotians face became even gloomier. If it weren't for her being the Four King's face, he would really want to slap her.

"That's not necessarily true, Father. Didn't you see Now that she has power, she doesn't even look at you anymore."

Her eyes darted to the tightly shut door. "Even her maid is a handmaiden from Lady Shu Fei's side. This Fourth Prince's Mansion has truly spoiled her."

Feng Aotian naturally knew all this, but now if he were to really fight Feng Lingxi, it's afraid that things would be difficult to explain to Du Gucheng.

"Linglong, don't be angry either. Xier has been unpredictable since she recovered from her illness. Even the Fourth Prince dotes on her. You shouldn't bother her when she's fine, or if she gets angry, she might even get you in trouble."

"Father, don't you think I can't beat her"

Being originally from a less prominent background compared to her husband, Feng Linglong's heart felt even heavier after Feng Aotian's words.

"Father is only worried about your situation. After your mother's passing, Father saw how the Crown Prince treated you. Father knows you are intelligent and unwilling to be subservient, but everything must be endured. Otherwise, how can you survive in the palace"

Feng Aotian's reminder woke Feng Linglong up, she almost lost her head to jealousy and forgot her mother's teachings.

"Thank you, Father, for reminding me. Your daughter will remember and not be rash again."

Feng Aotien nodded in satisfaction, "If Lingyu were as intelligent as you, father would have nothing to worry about."

When it came to Feng Lingyu, Feng Linglong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

"She is now with the Sixth Prince, and with her alluring charms, she won't live a bad life. But it will be difficult for her to become a consort. Daughter will do everything she can to help her."

Feng Aotianzhen nodded in approval. "That's all I ask, as long as you think that way. Your younger brother went to suppress bandits. If he returns with credit this time, the three of you siblings will support each other well, and you'll be able to stand more firmly in the Prince's Mansion."

"Father, I remember correctly, wasn't this task for my younger brother arranged by the Fourth Prince"

Feng Aotien's face stiffened, "You don't think Xi'er would harm your brother, do you"

"This kind of thing isn't easy to talk about, Father. It's best to be careful, after all, on the battlefield, swords and blades are merciless. If something were to happen to your younger son, it would be terrible."

Feng Aotian's face flushed with anger, "If she dares to lay a finger on your brother, I'll act as if she's never my daughter."with you. Judging from their attitude, it seems we are safe within the court."Dugu City shook his head, "Don't forget, the three kings entered Beijing. Besides King Pingxi who was taken away by Luo Ju...
