Chapter 236: Palace Change 80

matters would be far simpler.After entering the room, Feng Lingxi picked up the discarded rouge and went aside to mix it. "Xiaoli, guard the doorway. Shout when someone arrives."Xiaoli responded and s...獨孤城聽到這話，絲毫不生氣。

"Why assassinate me Is it truly worth dying for him"

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this question from Dugu City, looked surprised, "Do you know him"

“He is Qian MoXuan, the son of the former Minister of Rites. This Prince knows who wants to assassinate me.”

"Is it Dugu Yan"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, and Dugu Cheng nodded, looking at the coldness in Feng Lingxi's eyes, he explained, "When Qianfu was raided and slaughtered, Qian Moxuan wasn't in the capital. He was in this king's camp. Because of something that happened, he had some opinions about this king. Afterwards, Dugu Yan overturned the case for Qianfu, and Qian Moxuan followed Dugu Yan out of gratitude."

If his whole family was wiped out, why would he worry about me finding out about them

Feng Lingxi looked at Qian MoXuan with suspicion, "Could it be that you still have living family"

After Du Gu Yan cleared his name, she married him off to a woman who gave birth to two sons. Now he has a wife and children, so naturally, he's afraid that if you find out about them, it will put them in danger.

Feng Lingxi suddenly realized, no wonder he was hesitant, it turned out to be because he had a wife and children.

"If you helped Dugu Yan assassinate the lord, then you believe his words. If something happens to you, can he protect your wife and children"

Feng Lingxi looked at Qian Mochen's eyes filled with anger and understood a little. This Qian Mochen was so desperate, he just wanted to repay Du Guyan's kindness. However, taking his anger out on Du Gucheng was excessive.

"Qian MoXuan, this king understands that you are doing things for Dugu Yan out of gratitude. This time, this king can let you go. You may leave."

Dugu Cheng untied Qian Mo Xuan, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing"

"This is a duel between me and Dugu Yan. There's no need for him to lose his life. Consider this my apology from the emperor to the Qianfu."

Qian MoXuan looked at Du GuCheng, “Don’t think that because you did this, I will be grateful to you. You let me go, I will definitely find a chance to kill you.”

Feng Lingxi watched Qian MoXuan's arrogant expression and took out a bottle from her bosom. She took out a pill and stuffed it into Qian MoXuan's mouth, pressing down on his chin to make him swallow before letting go.

"What did you feed me"

"Poison."

Feng Lingxi swept a cold glance over them, “Whether he lets you go is his business, I owe you nothing. If you want to kill him, I'll destroy you first.”

Dugu Cheng's eyes curved into a smile. Xi'er's personality was very similar to how she had behaved when they first met, ruthless and unreasonable when angered.

Qian Moxuan hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, trying to spit out the swallowed pill. Feng Lingxi crossed her arms and stared coldly at him.

"If you can get it out, I'll spare your wife and children."

"Feng Lingxi, if you want to kill me, come and do it! What kind of skill is it to attack defenseless women and children"

qian Mo Xuan roared with anger, wishing he could rush up and strangle her.

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, "Your wife and children are helpless. Aren't I"

Before Mo Xuan could speak, Feng Ling Xi continued, “I’m giving you a chance. The lives of your wife and children are in your hands. If you want them dead, go ahead and argue with me. I want to see if your speed is faster or my poison’s.”

"You..."

Qian Mo Xuan was so angry by her words that his face turned ashen. He pointed at her, his eyes blazing with fury.

“Despicable and shameless, to use such despicable means.”

“I've never heard of it. Only weaklings and women are hard to raise, I am not a towering hero like the wind and clouds, I'm just a frail woman with no strength to even bind a chicken.”

Du Gucheng looked at Qian MoXuan's expression of being almost driven mad by anger, and he felt a bit sympathetic towards Qian MoXuan. He was destined to lose when fighting against He'er.

qian mo xuan gritted his teeth and glared at her, "You really have the face."

Such vicious means, with no power to fight back, are spoken without fear of shame.

Feng Lingxi sneered, "How come, never seen a shameless woman"

"You..."

Qian Mo Xuan's forehead twitched with anger, his veins visibly throbbing. Feng Ling Xi met his gaze, filled with fury, and felt even more enraged.

"Oh, and I almost forgot to remind you, getting angry can make your medication work faster."

Qian Mo Xuan forcefully suppressed the anger rising in his heart, turned to Dugu City, "Look, this is your woman, despicable and shameless."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of doting smiles, and praised repeatedly, "I see, this king is very satisfied."

"Dugu City, you are the God of War. With such a despicable and shameless woman, don't you think she tarnishes your reputation"

Windling didn't get angry at all despite his constant use of words like "despicable" and "shameless." He kindly reminded him, “I haven’t even used my truly despicable methods yet, Qian Mo Xuan. I am not Du Gu Cheng, so I won't reason with you. In short, if you want to live, tell me everything. I can spare your wife and children, but if you persist in your obstinacy, don't blame me for being ruthless.”

Feng Lingxi's eyes suddenly turned cold, which startled Qian MoXuan. The words he had about to say were swallowed back into his throat.

He wasn't afraid of death, but now, he was terrified of just one look from her.

"Qian Moxuan chuckled coldly, "I've already eaten your poison. What threat do you pose to me"

Whatever happens, the Emperor will definitely protect his wife and children.

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "You're thinking pretty nicely, but the poison I give you won't kill you, but it will make you wish you were dead. You can say whatever you want, and even if you can withstand this torture, your beautiful wife and your children... well, who knows what will happen to them."

Qian MoXuan heard her threaten his wife and children, angrily rushed over, but before he could make a move, his body went soft and he collapsed to the ground. A sharp pain pierced his chest, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. His pale face seemed as if it would give out at any moment.

Feng Lingxi saw that he was like this and still unwilling to speak, somewhat admiring him. What did this Dugu Yan give him that allowed him to endure to this extent without saying anything

"Fine, since he's unwilling to speak, let him slowly savor this taste here. I don't believe his wife and children can withstand such pain."

Feng Lingxi turned around, and had just taken two steps when she heard Qian Mo Xuan call her name.

"Didn't I tell you to let my wife and children go"

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, turned around, her eyes cold and sharp.

"If you speak the truth, I will spare your wife and children. But if you lie to me, I will make their fate worse than yours."

"What do you want to know"

Looking into her eyes, Qian Mo Xuan finally understood that Feng Ling Xi was not a normal woman. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent. So despicable and shameless to use his wife and children, if he didn't say anything, what else could she possibly do

"Who killed my father, and is my mother alive or dead" herself that she was indeed quite a good actress.Get up.Wind Lingxi looked at Ye Shuang, "I know your intentions. Since you don't know who is behind this, just wait for me to find that person, and th...
