in the courtyard, as soon as she pushed open the door, Feng Lingxi was grabbed by someone and pressed against the door, receiving a slam."You..."That man quickly covered her mouth, his eyes were fier...People fear becoming famous, pigs fear getting fat.

Feng Lingxi now understood. These days, Dugu City had kept her well-cared for at the manor, afraid she would know about these things

Xiao Li gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, you are famous, but also notorious."

"Little Li, have you heard any news about the Concubine Feng"

She has no connection to this city, yet she really wants to know who started this rumor.

"As for Feng Side Consort, there's been no news of her. She hasn't visited the General’s Residence either. Why did the Madam suddenly bring her up"

Feng Lingxi walked aside and poured herself a glass of water, "At the Empress's birthday banquet this time, Feng Linglong and Feng Yuxi did not make a move. It was I who alone stole the limelight."

"Your Highness, hasn't the Crown Princess made any moves"

Speaking of which, the former Crown Princess used to visit the manor and the Duchess frequently. Nowadays, she hasn't been here for several days.

It's normal that she didn't move.

The crown princess is from the Yu Prince's Mansion. Over this period of time, it's clear that someone has been instructing her on what to do. The person behind her currently doesn't seem to have any intention of harming her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been spared from the difficulties at the birthday banquet.

"My lady, I don't quite understand."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "Let's go to the apothecary."

Dugu City was going on a campaign, she had to prepare some more medicinal herbs for him so he could take them with him.

Phoenix Hall

The Crown Princess sat beside the Empress, Feng Linglong seated by her side. No one dared to utter a word.

"Shen Yun has been sent back to the Prime Minister's residence. Now, Prime Minister Shen and the Fourth Prince have very different opinions. It is impossible for Prime Minister Shen to stand on the side of Duke Digong. This palace actually wants to marry Shen Yun into the East Palace and give her the title of a concubine. What do you two think"

The Crown Princess and Feng Linglong's faces changed, how could this woman that Dugu City didn't want keep being sent to the Prince's Mansion

"Your Majesty, I have no objections. I will follow your arrangements."

Feng Linglong smiled and said, she didn't care how many women Dugu Yan had. Besides, if Shen Yun entered the house, she would be powerful yet harmless to her, so why should she stop her

"Mother Empress, I feel this might not be appropriate. Since Shen Yun was disengaged by the Fourth Prince's Manor, if Mother Empress marries her off to the Crown Prince's Manor, people might say that the Crown Prince's Manor and the Fourth Prince's Manor are at odds, causing trouble for the Crown Prince."

"What are you looking at"

The Empress looked at the Crown Princess, her eyes cold. "Zhao Ran, this palace wants to know, are you afraid that Shen Yun marrying into the Prince's mansion will threaten your status That's why you said such things"

The Crown Princess hurriedly knelt down, tremblingly saying, "Mother Empress, this concubine meant no disrespect. This concubine was only worried about the Crown Prince. After all, Shen Yun was sent back by the Fourth Prince's Manor. If this gets out, it really wouldn't be good."

"Zhao Ran, this palace knows you used to like the Fourth Prince, but don't forget, you are now the Crown Princess. No matter what you do, you must consider the Crown Prince. If you dare to have second thoughts, this palace will not spare you."

The Crown Princess, being reprimanded by the Empress like that, hurriedly explained, “Your Majesty understands, your servant has always been thinking of the Crown Prince, and hopes that the Empress will see this clearly.”

Feng Linglong, seeing the empress's expression, softly said, "Your Majesty, I think bringing Shen Yun into the fold is a good thing. After this incident, he will certainly be someone Your Majesty can rely on. Plus, with the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, one day he will surely be able to assist the Crown Prince."

The Crown Princess heard that Feng Linglong had challenged her, a coldness flashed in her eyes. She knew this Feng Linglong was not someone to be trifled with, and she wanted to bring her down and take her position as the Crown Princess.

"Alright, get up. I'll think about this matter."

The Empress spoke, and Feng Linglong's face stiffened slightly. She had thought the Empress would punish the Crown Princess, but she hadn't expected her to be so magnanimous. It seemed that what she had said had not reached the Empress's ears at all.

"Linglong, since the Sixth Royal Concubine has passed away, as the eldest sister, you should return to the General's Mansion. Laughing so happily here in the palace, if this were to spread, it wouldn't sound good."

Feng Linglong's face changed drastically. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command. It's not that I didn't want to return, but the Sixth Prince took me back and didn't arrange a funeral or burial for me. I don't know how to go and mourn."

"You said the Sixth Prince's Manor didn't hold a funeral"

Feng Linglong responded, "That day my father brought my second sister back to the General's Mansion. As soon as they arrived, the Sixth Prince came and took my second sister away, saying that she was marrying into the Sixth Prince's Mansion and was now one of his people. As for why there was no funeral, I don't know."

"This Sixth Prince is a clever one. Linglong, you go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion and deliver a letter to him."

Feng Linglong heard the Empress's words and hurriedly said, "This servant obeys your command."

The Queen wrote a letter and handed it to Feng Linglong, "Go."

Feng Linglong responded and left. The Empress looked at the Crown Princess beside her, her eyes coldly sweeping over her.

"Zhao Ran, this palace knows you are thinking of the Crown Prince. Although Shen Yun is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister loves her very much. Now that Shen Yun has been wronged in the Fourth Prince's mansion, all of this is because of this palace's marriage decree. You go to the Prime Minister's mansion for this palace and say that tomorrow, let Shen Yun have a grand wedding and be brought into the Crown Prince's mansion as a concubine."

"It's all my fault for not thinking things through carefully enough. I apologize, I will go and take care of it right away."

The Crown Princess received the imperial decree and left the palace, heading straight for the Prime Minister's residence. After finishing her business there, she went to the Fourth Prince's mansion.

Feng Lingxi saw that the Crown Princess had come to find her, so she hurried to greet her.

"Sit down and talk to me."

The Crown Princess dismissed the maids around her, and she and Feng Lingxi sat in the pavilion sipping tea.

"The Crown Princess's sudden visit, what could possibly be the matter"

Looking at the worry lines on her face, Feng Lingxi felt that this Crown Princess was becoming increasingly strange.

At this time, she came to look for her, wouldn't she be afraid that the Queen would suspect her

"Shen Yun is marrying into the Prince's residence tomorrow. I'm here to remind you, be careful of Shen Yun's revenge."

She went to the Chancellor's Mansion and saw Shen Yun, looking desperate and lifeless. When she heard that Shen Yun was going to be taken into the Prince's Mansion, Shen Yun's eyes... She thought for a moment, then came to Si Wangfu to tell Feng Lingxi, asking her to be more careful.

"Shen Yun is going to marry into the Prince's mansion"

Feng Lingxi frowned, it seemed like this time she had truly offended the Prime Minister's residence thoroughly. With Shen Yun entering the Prince's mansion, would she still have good days ahead

“Feng Lingxi, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you really shouldn't be so petty. Let Shen Yun come in, even if you fight, it's still a matter within your Si Wangfu. Now that she's gone to the Prince's Mansion, you have to be more careful yourself.”

"Thank you for reminding me, Your Highness. I will keep your words in mind."

Seeing her attitude, the Crown Princess stood up, “I won’t say any more. If Mother found out I came here, she’d probably suspect something again. I’m going back now. Take care of yourself.”

Looking at the back of the Crown Princess leaving, Feng Lingxi lost her mind to refine medicine.

It seems she'll have to think of a way to deal with it.. It was impossible to make things difficult for her now, as she was currently trying to appease her, and couldn't find any reason to. It seemed she would have to think of another way."Where is Broth...
