Chapter 838: Falling Frost Flower 28

rtainly nothing to worry about.""Your Majesty, my concubine only asked Fourth Princess to dance with me. Perhaps Fourth Princess dances better than I do.""That makes sense."Feng Lingxi stood up and wa...Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept across Xiao Simu's face, which was full of concentration. She told him to stay by the emperor's side for safety. He only knew about the authority under the emperor's feet, but not how difficult it was to survive there.

"Fourth Royal Wife, thank you for being willing to help today."

"Young Master Xiao, I studied this poisonous insect purely because I was idle at home and had nothing to do. It has nothing to do with Princess Pingnan. " Feng Lingxi nodded at Xiao Simu, "Besides, poisonous insects are prohibited in the capital. By taking this poisonous insect, I would naturally alert the Empress Dowager that I possessed it, and they would naturally know that you gave it to me."

Xiao Simu's expression stiffened slightly, but she still nodded in response.

I know, this can't be kept hidden.

"It's enough that Young Master Xiao understands what should be said, what shouldn't be said, what should be done, and what shouldn't be done."

Feng Lingxi got up, “I still have something to do, so I'll leave first.”

Looking at Feng Lingxi's departing figure, Xiao Simu's expression was quite complicated. Choosing Feng Lingxi, wasn't that too risky

Feng Lingxi left the teahouse, throwing the box in her hand away and leaving with Xiao Li.

"Your Highness, why..."

Before Xiao Li could finish her words, she saw Feng Yu Mo coming face to face and hurriedly bowed to him in greeting.

"Sister, grandpa asked me to come find you for dinner at home."

"Alright." Feng Ling Xi looked at the carriage behind Feng Yu Mo and instructed, "Later, have someone send a message to Du Gu Cheng, saying that I won't be returning to the Prince's Mansion tonight and want to stay at General's Residence for a few days."

Feng Yu Mo's face was filled with shock, then she turned and nodded happily. You see, since her elder sister recovered from her illness, she had never returned to her parents' home. Now that Grandpa was back, she was willing to move back, so Grandpa would surely be delighted.

Xiaoli anxiously looked at the princess, knowing that the princess was not in a good mood today and didn't know what to say.

The Yao people have brought them to General's Mansion to see me.

Feng Lingxi instructed, then got into the carriage and went to the General's Mansion.

"Grandpa, I brought your eldest daughter back."

Feng Yu Mo entered the mansion and called out, Feng Cang Kai knew that Feng Ling Xi had arrived, his face full of joy. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's palm-sized face, his eyes were filled with concern.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

The moment Feng Lingxi saw her grandfather, her eyes welled up uncontrollably. There was a feeling of being wronged outside and returning home to confide in family, and it was the first time Feng Lingxi felt the importance of family.

In the past, she relied on herself and struggled hard to persevere. But now, with her grandfather's protection and Feng Yu Mo as her brother, she has a sense of belonging and home.

Feng Cangkai patted her hand, “You little rascal, if you want to go home, just go. Look at your lack of ambition.”

Feng Lingxi hurriedly reached out and wiped her eyes, "Grandpa, Xi'er isn't crying, it's just that the wind blew sand into my eyes."

"Silly girl."

Feng Cangkai said helplessly, some things happened these days. He thought, Xi'er would know. Knowing this, she would naturally want to be accompanied by her family, which is why he asked Feng Yumuo to pick her up.

Feng Lingxi didn't know that her every move was under surveillance. She was also unaware of how dangerous her current situation was.

Just in the blink of an eye, everything changed.

She felt trapped like an animal in a cage, with hunters all around her. She could only shrink into that tiny space.

"Sister, the room is all set up for you. Grandpa has people cleaning it every day. You can stay as long as you want."

"Girl, are you going to return to the mansion"

Feng Cangkai was a little surprised when he heard Feng Yumo's words. Feng Yumo quickly said, "Grandfather, sister said she wants to stay at the mansion for a few days."

"Is it inconvenient"

Feng Lingxi's words had barely left her lips when Feng Cangkai hurriedly said, "How could it be inconvenient Grandfather would be so happy if you stayed at the manor."

"Sister, Grandpa has been talking about you these days, wanting you to come back to the mansion for a few days. He says that since you got married, you haven't come back, and it's hard for him to talk to you. Now that you're back, Grandpa probably won't sleep tonight."

Feng Yu Mo's words touched Feng Ling Xi, tears welling up in her eyes. She glared at him angrily.

"It's all you, your words are so moving that I almost cried."

Feng Yu Mo chuckled softly, looking at his sister like this, she finally looked like a girl of seventeen.

Feng Cangkai patted her shoulder, his own eyes becoming moist. "It's good that you're back. Don't think too much about it. As long as Grandpa is here, you can stay for as long as you want." The next period of Xi'er's life might be even more difficult, with even more challenges to face.

He hoped he could help her.

"This was Grandpa's word, by then I eat the General's Mansion poor, Grandpa won't let me leave."

Feng Lingxi burst into laughter, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness, causing Feng Cangkai to laugh out loud.

"Grandpa, this old bone of mine can raise you, rest assured."

Feng Lingxi held onto Feng Cangkai's arm, "Grandfather, there are some things I want to tell you."

Feng Cangkai nodded, looking at Feng Yumo, "Go to the side."

Feng Yu Mo hurried to follow, "Grandpa, I want to hear too. You can't spoil your eldest daughter and ignore me! You said that I'm your precious grandson…"

In the darkness, a figure emerged. Watching the departing procession, he instructed, "Go tell Her Majesty that Feng Lingxi will be returning to her residence for a few days."

As soon as the man left the general's mansion, he was taken away by someone hiding in the shadows without even a chance to call out.

The news that Feng Lingxi was staying at the General's Mansion spread quickly. The inside of the mansion was undoubtedly shocked, and this rumor swept through both the palace and outside in a flash, with rumors spreading that Feng Lingxi and Dugu City had a falling out, which angered Feng Lingxi to return to her parents' home.

After learning the news, Dugu City felt downcast, but instead of going to the General's Mansion, he gave Xi'er some time and space.

Shou'an Palace

When the news reached Empress Dowager Cen that Feng Lingxi was residing at the General's Mansion, she thought Feng Lingxi would rush to the palace first and tell her about her forbidding her from leaving the city. However, she never expected Feng Lingxi to return to the General's Mansion instead. This left Empress Dowager Cen clueless about Feng Lingxi's intentions.

"Grandma Zhang, where is the Emperor"

"The Empress is in the Zhaoyang Palace. Today, Lan Fei said her stomach was feeling unwell, and the Emperor is accompanying her."

Then Empress Cen let out a cold snort. "This Lan Fei is truly spoiled. What use is it to have the Emperor accompany her when she has stomach pains Tell the imperial physicians to see to her and inform the Emperor that Feng Lingxi has returned to the General's Mansion. Let him tell the Empress."

Zhang Mama hesitated for a moment and asked, “Empress Dowager, what if the Empress asks Should we tell her the truth”

To be honest, I know the Empress's thoughts. She would never allow General Fu to fall into Feng Lingxi's hands.

Feng Lingxi's move, she couldn't understand. It didn't matter now that she couldn't leave the capital. The world outside the city was hers. She wanted to see if it was really as the rumors said, that Feng Lingxi couldn't produce the Yao Clan's treasure.

Empress Cen narrowed her eyes, a cold glint in her gaze.i doesn't dare to cause trouble."Master, we're back."Wind Ling Xi jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and Feng Si Yu and Feng Si Qi came down. The siblings saw that their mother's face was...
