Chapter 199: Palace Change 43
him like this"Feng Ling Xi passed the letter in her hand to Xiao Li. After reading it, Xiao Li was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, she simply couldn't believe that the Sixth Prince would do s..."Purple Star"
Feng Lingxi was at a loss, looking at the Empress who stared at her intently. She shook her head, "This servant has never heard of this purple star mentioned by Your Majesty. My mother has never told me about it either."
"Haven't you heard of it"
Feng Lingxi saw that she didn't believe him, so he swore with his hand raised, "I swear to heaven, I have never heard my mother mention what Zi Xing is"
"So, did she leave you anything"
What is left
Wind Ling Xi thought for a moment, then shook her head. “Never.”
"You step aside."
Feng Lingxi was a little surprised. Just like that, she was released from the palace Why would the Empress ask about this Zi Xing And what exactly was Zi Xing
It seems she needs to figure out what this Purple Star is, so that it doesn't fall into the Empress's hands.
As Fengyi Palace, Feng Lingxi saw Liu Gonggong, who was beside the Emperor, waiting for her. Seeing her come out, he led her to Shu Fei's palace. Dugucheng and the Emperor were both there. When the three saw her arrive, Dugucheng immediately stepped forward and asked, "Xier, did the Empress make things difficult for you"
"It's okay, I got through it."
"Your Majesty, the servant overheard what the Fourth Princess was saying outside the hall just now. It terrified me! Even standing in the sun, I feel a chill."
Grandfather Liu's words caused Feng Lingxi's expression to change slightly. Looking at her father and mother's astonished expressions, she felt a bit embarrassed. This Grandfather Liu was truly bold, saying anything.
"Just what happened today, gossiping with the Empress."
Dugu City looked at her slightly embarrassed expression, the smile on his lips deepened. He didn't expect Xi'er to have the ability to make wild claims too.
Feng Lingxi caught sight of Dugu City's smile at the corner of his mouth, her eyes turned cold as she glared at him. It seemed the better she treated him, the less afraid he was of her.
"Today's events, both I and your mother have heard about. From now on, you mustn't speak of this, lest it cause unrest among the people."
"The daughter-in-law obeys."
The Emperor naturally knew all of this was Feng Lingxi's doing. Dugu City had already told him, and while he was surprised, he couldn't let Xi'er get hurt. So he pretended to suppress the matter, which also happened to give the Empress a few days of peace.
"Father, how are you feeling today"
Feng Lingxi looked at the emperor's expression and saw that he seemed to be fine.
"Show me."
The emperor extended his hand, and Feng Lingxi became serious. After taking the emperor's pulse, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, she retracted her hand.
"Father, have you eaten anything good these past few days"
"My meals have all been tested and no signs of poisoning have been found. What is it"
"Maybe I was mistaken."
Feng Ling Xi took out the golden needles, “Father Emperor, I’ll help you with acupuncture. Your Highness, come lend a hand.”
Dugu Cheng saw her about to administer the acupuncture, and hurriedly went over to help. Shu Fei watched beside her. After half an hour like this, Feng Lingxi finally came out, her face slightly pale.
"The emperor's body is already out of danger, just need to recuperate for a while, but..."
Feng Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, it's best not to touch the food sent from the Empress."
"Xi'er, am I poisoned"
“This poison is light, probably a test. Father Emperor, please be careful.”
The Imperial Concubine Shu arrived before them, “Secretly, replace all the Empress’s people.”
"Shufei, you handle this matter."
Shu Fei responded, seeing Feng Ling Xi remain silent and glanced at the Emperor.
"Xier, do you have any questions you want to ask"
Feng Lingxi raised her eyes and looked at her father and mother who were both staring at her. She truthfully said, "Lingxi just has some things she doesn't understand."
"Why don't you speak up Perhaps Father can resolve your confusion."
"Father, do you know what Zi Xing is"
"Zixing"
Shufei's face changed slightly, and looking at Feng Lingxi's puzzled eyes, the panic in her eyes made Feng Lingxi curious. This empress asked her about Zixing. Her expression seemed to know something about this Zixing. Could it really be something from her mother
"Mother, do you know what Zi Xing is"
"Xier, how did you know about Zixing"
Shufei hurriedly asked, while instructing Liu Gonggong to stand guard outside so that the Empress wouldn't overhear.
"The daughter-in-law asked me in the Phoenix Hall, inquiring if my mother had given me a purple star. Mother concubine, do you know what this purple star is"
"Xier, come here."
Shufei pulled Feng Lingxi aside. Dugucheng, watching the panic in his mother's expression, was also curious. He looked at his father, who was equally curious, and the two of them exchanged glances before turning their attention to Shufei and Feng Lingxi. Both wanted to know what this so-called Zixing was.
The
Shufeng pulled Feng Lingxi into the inner hall, "Xi'er, wait a moment."
When Feng Ling Xi saw her mother enter, she didn't take long to see her come out carrying a box. Looking at the box, Feng Ling Xi's eyes were filled with doubt, "Mother, could this be where Zi Xing is"
The noble consort opened the box and took out a necklace. The pendant was a purple sphere wrapped in gold, about the size of a thumb, looking exquisite and delicate.
“This is the Purple Star your mother entrusted to Mother when she was alive. It should have been yours, but after you were four years old, you had a fever that damaged your brain, and your mother’s health was precarious. So she gave it to me, asking me to keep it for her until someone came looking for the Purple Star. Then I would return it.”
Feng Lingxi held the necklace, examining it carefully. She couldn't see anything amiss with the purple star. What did the Empress want with this purple star
"Mother Empress, what is the history of this Zi Xing Why does the Empress want this thing This daughter-in-law thinks it's just an ordinary amethyst."
Looking at this purple planet, its material seemed to be like deep violet crystal.
“Even mother doesn’t know what this is used for. Back then, your mother entrusted it to you for safekeeping. Now that you know about it, it should be returned to you.”
Shufei watched her gaze fixed on the Zi Xing, and did not forget to remind her, "Xi'er, since the Empress is looking for Zi Xing, then you have taken this Zi Xing, do not let her find out. Mother concubine also does not know what secret this Zi Xing has, anyway, just don't let the Empress take it."
Feng Ling Xi put on the Zi Xing, "Thank you, Mother, for telling me. I will keep it safe."
Since it was left to her by her mother, the secrets within must be known to her mother. When she finds her mother in the future and asks her clearly, perhaps she will know the secret of this purple star.
Shu Fei and Feng Ling Xi came out together. Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's neck, where a necklace appeared. Although he couldn't see the pendant, he could guess what it was.
"Go back first, your father is fine. You should prepare for the expedition."
"Father, could you possibly delay the departure by three days"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, almost forgetting about this.
"Cheng'er told me that you will be departing in three days. This time, be extra careful. I await good news from you all."
"Thank you, Father Emperor, for your approval."
Feng Lingxi didn't expect that Dugucheng had already talked to the emperor. This way, there would be three more days, and Feng Lingyu's injuries would improve a little, so she could leave with her on the road for healing, and they should be able to escape.o greet her. She glanced outside and said, "Xiao Li, go see why Consort Luo hasn't come to pay her respects yet"She had finally received word that the concubine was to pay her respects, but it was alr...
