Chapter 748: Imprisonment 7

    

left with a smile."Empress Dowager, why do you like Feng Lingxi so much I heard she was seriously ill before and became foolish."The Dowager Empress Shu gently pulled Luo Juzhou to sit down and comfo..."Fourth Royal Princess, how are you Are you injured anywhere" Dr. Liu's first concern was for Feng Lingxi's safety. The jailer also stepped forward, nervously watching Feng Lingxi who had just woken up, his eyes filled with worry.

Feng Lingxi feigned a headache, pounding her forehead and staring blankly at Liu Taiyi and the jailers surrounding her.

"What happened How did I get here"

Xiao Li coming here absolutely cannot be let them know, this matter must be covered up.

"I don't know either."

"We don't know either."

As soon as Dr. Liu spoke, the jailers chimed in, all looking at each other furtively. Dr. Liu saw this and hurriedly said, "We must notify the Emperor immediately, someone might have entered."

But I'm not hurt.

Feng Lingxi sat up, stretched her body, and looked at Dr. Liu, "Tell the Emperor that we're all fine. If he asks further, I'm afraid Dr. Liu and all the prison guards will be implicated."

At this, the jailers were all panicked. If the emperor found out and blamed them for failing to protect him, they would surely be punished.

Doctor Liu fainted without even knowing who the other person was. Nobody knew who the other person was or why they were here. Since the Emperor had punished him, he naturally had to accept the punishment.

"Anyway, I'm not hurt, so it's fine. If they really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be fine anyway."

Feng Lingxi stood up and looked at the jailer, "What do you mean"

"All listen to the Fourth Princess's arrangements."

How dare they refuse These four princesses are helping them conceal the truth from the Emperor, saving their lives. They are incredibly grateful and wouldn't dare to volunteer to tell the Emperor themselves.

"Doctor Liu, what do you think then This time, even if the Emperor sends more people, they might not come back. Besides, we weren't hurt and have no handle on them."

"Do as the Fourth Princess orders."

Dr. Liu readily agreed. Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, "Then let's do that. Let's pretend this never happened. I'm here, if they really want me dead, they will come again. We should be more vigilant and try to catch them next time. Otherwise, it's pointless to say anything unless something happens. Besides, I'm still under suspicion."

"The Fourth Princess makes a good point."

Feng Lingxi saw that they were all following her, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time, Xiaoli was a bit rash. She got hurt, but I hope Xiaoli can really hide it from Dugucheng. Otherwise, with Dugucheng's temper, he might come here.

After Xiao Li left, she met up with Luoli. The group arrived at the Yao Clan's resting place, and Luoli immediately asked, "How is the Saint Master"

"Your Majesty is safe, no need for rescue. Tell your subordinates and the chieftain to investigate Empress Dowager and a maidservant beside Concubine Long."

Xiaoli heard the Queen's words and hid them from Luoli, not wanting him to know the Queen's current situation.

"By the way, no one is allowed near the prison now. The Emperor's order is actually to protect the Fourth Princess."

Luo Li narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Xiao Li's eyes as she spoke. He couldn't glean any information from her gaze and finally said, "Since she has spoken thus, we shall follow her lead. However, you must ensure the safety of the Saint Master. She is not to come to harm."

"Understood, I will have Shadow Six and the others protect you secretly."

Only after Luo Li left did he feel at ease and depart. Xiao Li, having finished her business, hurried back to Si Wangfu that very night.

Dugu Cheng learned about Feng Lingxi's situation in prison. The more he heard from Luo Li and Xiao Li, the more he felt something was wrong. How could someone like this exist by Feng Linglong's side

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Xiao Li, are you sure Xi'er isn't hurt"

"This king has heard that Feng Linglong once went to the big prison," Dugu Cheng asked, unconvinced.

"My Lord, rest assured. The Princess suffered no injuries. I saw it with my own eyes."

Xiao Li's words did not fully convince Du Gu Cheng. Feng Linglong going to the prison was something he had confirmed, though what she did after entering he didn't know. However, Feng Linglong had no children, and seeing Xi'er in prison wouldn't have been as simple as just visiting her.

Xiao Li remained silent, afraid of displeasing Xi'er.

"Now that I am forbidden from entering the palace, I can only lure the Empress out."

After a moment of contemplation, Dugu City spoke. Luo Li, who was beside him, smiled.

"You can't enter the palace, but I can."

"I will start by investigating Feng Aotiān. If someone truly wants to get rid of Xier, Feng Aotiān would surely know about it. Perhaps we can find some clues from him."

“It would be best if we could find out that the fetus in Long Gui Fei’s womb is not the Emperor’s.” Luo Li hinted, and Dugu Cheng frowned, “Wouldn’t that be a bit too harsh” If it were truly found that the child was not the Emperor’s, then Long Gui Fei’s crime would be serious.

"Your Highness, you forgot, the Emperor had been ill before. Consort Long often stayed at General Manor for a few days. I think what Chief Luo said makes some sense. If we can really find out that the child isn't the Emperor's, then naturally, the Crown Princess can be released from blame."

Ye Xi recalled what had happened before and hastily suggested it, but she saw Dugu Cheng frown.

"If that were truly the case, the ramifications would be far-reaching. This matter requires careful consideration."

"Anyway, it's going to be investigated anyway, there's nothing to hide. Our Yao clan will find out what happened."

Luoli spoke, looking at Dugu Cheng's furrowed brows. "Be more careful yourself. With the Holy Lord imprisoned, all eyes are on the Fourth Prince. I plan to move out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion and go to the Yao Clan's resting place. It will be more convenient for me to act."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "This king won't stop you, just be more careful."

Now that she remains in the Fourth Prince's Residence, every move she makes is watched, making it inconvenient for Luoli to act.

Although Dugu Yan told him that Xi'er was unharmed in prison, all the blame pointed to Xi'er this time. Unless he cleared up this matter.

Inside the Palace

Feng Linglong waited for two days but couldn't wait for Dugu Yan to punish Feng Lingxi. She went to the Imperial Study to find Dugu Yan and wanted to tell him about this, but she saw Feng Yu Xi grinding medicine for Dugu Yan in his Imperial Study. Seeing Feng Linglong arrive, Dugu Yan frowned slightly, while Feng Yu Xi spoke up first.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Long has arrived."

Feng Linglong walked to their presence, "This servant greets Your Majesty and Empress."

"Noble Consort Long is unwell and should not be traveling. Please return and rest."

Dugu Yan spoke, Feng Linglong hurriedly cast an eye at Feng Yu Xi. Feng Yu Xi wore a gentle expression, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Concubine Long came because of the incident with her child being poisoned by an abortion drug. Perhaps Your Majesty should listen"

"Your Majesty, your concubine begs you to make a decision for your concubine."

"This matter I have already been handling, Long Gui Fei, you may return first."

Dugu Yan's words made Feng Linglong clench her fists, and the moment she raised her eyes, tears fell down, that sorrowful gaze made Dugu Yan feel disgusted.

"I have yet to summon the Fourth Prince. I am currently investigating this matter, and the evidence is solid. Windling shall be dealt with." suffer, but she was willing to suffer."Alright, let's stop crying. It's just a man! What's there to cry about I'll pretend I was blind and didn't see him clearly. Since he chose Luo Qin'i today, then...
