Chapter 953: Metamorphosis 27

xi rubbed her temples, never feeling so exhausted before. Perhaps she had overthought things; Xue Yu Xi and the Zhao family were not such people."Xiao Li, you said something happened to the Liu famil...Dugu City's actions stunned everyone present.

"Let me reiterate, there is no Saint Master of the Yao Clan here."

Feng Lingxi shivered, as if she saw the tears that Dugu Cheng had once told her about. She still wasn't quite sure why Dugu Cheng had killed this guard. With Luo Li present, he didn't need to make a move.

"As expected of the Fourth Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty, he is truly imposing."

Luo Li clapped his hands, but his eyes swept over these soldiers like shards of ice. "Go back and tell Empress Cen that if she truly wants to taste what it's like to face the Yao clan, let her continue. And also, don't say that I, Luo Li, haven't given her a chance. I have made promises, if she changes her mind at the last moment, she will be responsible for the consequences herself."

The guards who were arrogant just a moment ago instantly cowered. When had they ever seen Dugu City take action to protect others His actions just now clearly showed that he was protecting Feng Lingxi. The only possible explanation was that he had recovered his memory.

"Withdraw."

As the guards retreated, the coldness in Dugu City's eyes gradually subsided, but he clenched his fists, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Feng Lingxi saw him like this and hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong with you"

It's fine.

Dugu Cheng patted Feng Ling's arm, "Go inside first."

Luo Li and the others followed suit, the Yao clan's main hall door closed shut.

"Why did you just kill that man"

"It wasn't sent by Empress Cen."

Dugu Cheng took a deep breath, "It's Dugu Su's people."

"Dugu Su's person" Feng Lingxi looked surprised, "Are you sure"

Seeing Du Gucheng nod, Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of confusion, "Does he dare to falsely transmit Empress Cen's decree"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Empress Cen is in this state now, she wouldn't even know about his forgery of the imperial decree. And even if this prince were to speak out, if Luo Li found her way into the palace and questioned Empress Cen, as long as Du Gu Su insists he didn't do it, even with irrefutable evidence, it would be useless against him. He doesn't worry about this matter affecting him in any way."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brow, "Is his power now so terrifying"

"Things are probably not going to be this good from now on."

Dugu Cheng looked at Luoli, "I want to arrange for my mother concubine to leave as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

"I've already made the arrangements, I should be able to depart in the next two days."

Dugu City hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you."

"Don't be polite with me, between you and me, there's nothing to thank."

Du Gu Cheng didn't say anything, only his face grew much darker, the worry between his brows couldn't be dispelled.

"There's one more thing I need your help with."

Dugu Cheng looked at Li Wuyan, "This matter, Xi'er did not do easily, but you did much easier."

"Do you want me to poison Empress Cen"

"No need for poison, simply change the antidote's recipe, give her a few more days."

"Why not Dugu Su"

Feng Lingxi frowned, “If it's Dugu Su who makes a move against us, why don't we make a move against him At worst, we join forces and get rid of him too.”

“Besides, the throne of the Great Yuan Dynasty will belong to Dugu Yu alone. Dugu Yu holds considerable military power, and his mind is cunning and terrifying. Compared to him, I would rather have Dugu Su deal with Dugu Yu.”

Dugu City's eyes were full of scheming, "Du Gu Su will definitely not leave Du Gu Yu. I am certain, my direction is right."

"You put it that way, I actually find Dugu Su more worth paying attention to."

I have never ignored his existence, just trying my best to avoid conflict with him, because behind him, there is a storm waiting.

Feng Lingxi looked into Dugu Cheng's eyes, seeing the firmness within. It seemed that Dugu Suzhen was more capable than she had imagined. The palace struggles were truly endless, with no end in sight.

"What's Feng Aotian's situation like now"

It's been a long time since he returned. After Grandpa went back to the countryside, Feng Aotian probably became even more lawless. This plaque of the Zhen Guo Fu seemed to be prepared for him. This move was his wrong one.

“Of course he’s good. He's been entrusted with important duties in the court, and he gets along very well with Duguxu. Empress Dowager Cen and Dugushi both know this, but what can they do The current court is rife with corruption, and it all depends on Duguxu to stabilize things. They can only complain, but dare not make trouble.”

It's all self-inflicted.

Feng Lingxi whispered angrily, "If it wasn't for Dugu Xiu provoking Yelu Hong, how would he have been caught in a love spell He barely became emperor and was now controlled by the love spell. He doesn't even trust his own mother, so who can he blame"

Although Empress Cen was skilled at scheming and seizing power, she gave birth to both Dugu Xiu and Dugu Yan. Even if she disliked them, the throne couldn't possibly fall into the hands of other princes. Dugu Xiu is just an idiot.

"Dugu Su's actions today, I wonder if they are related to yesterday's."

After a while, Dugu City spoke, worry etched between his brows, "Xi'er, I think I should go to the palace for a while to inquire about the situation and see what's going on."

"Otherwise, I'll go with you"

Feng Lingxi was worried. It was too dangerous for Du Gucheng to go there now.

He had just killed someone and said those words. If they truly reached the Empress Dowager's ears, who knows what would become of it It was simply impossible for him to enter the palace alone.

“Wait for me outside. I’ll go into the palace. This trip will definitely cause trouble. As long as you remain outside, I’ll be safe. You need to know that Dugu Su is arrogant, and both Dugu Xiu and Empress Cen's poisons still need you to cure. They won’t do anything to me. If we all enter the palace and are detained, things will become much more difficult.”

Feng Lingxi nodded, her eyes full of worry, and instructed, "Be careful yourself."

Dugu Cheng responded and looked at Luo Li, "Today's actions of Dugu Su, if truly related to yesterday's events, must be directed at this King. This King entered the palace today to inform the Emperor of the memory restoration. Dugu Su will certainly change his attitude. We shall wait for the opportune moment and act accordingly."

Luo Li's expression was stern, without the previous playfulness. What had just happened truly angered him. Whoever dared to be so arrogant towards him, if Luo Li really found out it was Dugu Su, he would definitely not let him off easy.

Dugu Cheng left, Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed tightly, her worries could not dissipate.

“I don’t know if it’s really related to yesterday’s events.” Dugu Su was actually angry because of what Dugu Cheng said. Could it be that Dugu Su really likes Feng Yu Xi If so, then Feng Yu Xi is truly terrifying. A woman who can have such power is indeed someone to be wary of.

Dugucheng hadn't been in the palace for long when Feng Lingxi received word that Dugusu had entered the palace. Feng Lingxi pondered for a long time before deciding to send Li Wuyan and Luoli to visit Su Wangfei, taking the opportunity to see this Su Wangfei for herself.

Was yesterday's miscarriage truly accidental, or is there another sinister plot at play

Luo Li and Li Wu Yan went out for a while, and Feng Ling Xi received news again. It was said that Du Gu Yu had entered the capital and, moreover, had gone to court the Emperor and Empress Dowager. After learning of this, Feng Ling Xi became even more suspicious about what happened today.

>rriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Elder Yao, which country we are from is unimportant. What's important is that we are the savior of Saint Master. We snuck out this time, and unexpectedl...
