d Xiao Li, excitedly saying, "Xiao Li, the gunpowder is made!"Feng Lingxi pointed at the hole in the ground, "Just now I configured a little gunpowder, and it worked."She was afraid of the excessive p...When Feng Lingxi returned to the residence, she saw Feng Aotian waiting for her there. Upon seeing him, Feng Lingxi's brow furrowed visibly, and she clearly expressed her displeasure.

"Xier, I just heard that the Emperor of Tianqi Country has passed away. You forced him to commit suicide What happened"

Feng Aotian was shocked to hear the news, his heart pounding with a strange sense of unease. He couldn't understand why he had instinctively thought that Li Shang’s fate was due to their capture of him. Perhaps Xi'er sought revenge for him and acted accordingly But he knew deep down that Xi'er would never do such a thing.

He didn't hold that kind of position in Xier's heart at all, but no matter what, he still hoped that he was right.

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "Looks like your injuries have recovered well, and you're pretty well-informed too. It seems this Dugu Xiu isn't so lighthearted after all; he doesn't even have time for you."

Feng Aotian's expression stiffened slightly. Facing her sarcasm, he was already used to it, but now he didn't know why he wanted to explain.

"Sixth Prince is now suffering from smallpox and has been isolated. I haven't seen him yet."

"Xier, the emperor has decreed that you go and show these flowers to the sixth brother. When do you plan on going to see him"

Dugu City suddenly asked, Feng Lingxi thought without thinking and said, "What's the rush Since it's smallpox, isolate for a few days, take some medicine, and it'll be fine after a while."

"Is that so easy"

Feng Aotian blurted out, "What's wrong with you" Feng Lingxi looked at him. Feng Aotian quickly explained, "I mean, this disease isn't ordinary. If the emperor blames you..."

"Even if the court wants to kill, it's killing me, what does it have to do with you"

Feng Lingxi interrupted Feng Aotian's words, and seeing his speechless expression, she felt much better. It didn't matter to her whether he came here with a purpose or truly wanted to care about her.

She wouldn't treat Dugu Xiu's illness if she didn't want to, so she just let him isolate for a few days. It was because she was tired of being tossed around by Dugu Xiu.

"I'm just worried about you, nothing else. If you don't want to say anything, that's fine."

Feng Aotian said this, his tone sounded quite wronged, as if Feng Lingxi had treated him badly. This made Feng Lingxi very dissatisfied. Seeing that he wouldn't leave, she opened her mouth and asked, "Do you have anything else to say If not, go back. I'm tired."

Feng Aotian looked at her, wanting to speak but stopping himself. After a long silence, he glanced at her and sighed.

"Xier, I know you hate me because I haven't been good to you since we were young. I also know that all of this is my fault in the past. But this time, there are still some things I want to tell you. Your mother is imprisoned in the palace in the capital. Linglong sent me a message saying that the emperor told her that if you don't hand over the Yao clan's treasure to the court, your mother will never be able to leave."

What did Feng Linglong tell you

I hadn't heard this name in a long time. Thinking back to when she was in the palace, Feng Linglong was quite a clever woman. Compared to Feng Yu Xi's arrogant and aloof demeanor, she felt that Feng Linglong had a better chance of lasting longer.

Now it seems, Feng Yixuan's affairs angered her. She's planning to retaliate against him.

Feng Aotian, seeing Feng Lingxi's sudden serious expression, explained, "Xier, Linglong also has good intentions. She didn't mean anything else. The things you said to her before, she told me she remembers them and won't treat you badly."

Feng Lingxi sneered, she wouldn't do anything to her. If she believed that, then she truly had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Feng Linglong knew exactly what she was doing, and Feng Aotien still didn't fully understand his several daughters.

"You're right, she wouldn't do anything to me. I'm not thinking negatively about it. Tell me about Feng Yu Xi, how have things been these days while I was away from the capital I bet she's doing well."

Feng Aotian's body stiffened slightly. Xi'er's words reminded him of Linglong's message, mentioning Yu Xi's transformation. She was like a different person, fawning over the emperor to an unbelievable extent. More unbelievably, she had deeply won the favor of the Empress Dowager, surpassing all the newly entered women. Even the emperor seemed to be considering giving her the position of empress.

"Next time I go back, she'll probably be the Empress."

Feng Aotian's words caused Feng Lingxi's brows to furrow slightly. Meeting the complex emotions in Feng Aotian's eyes, she suddenly smiled.

"So, you're unhappy that she became Empress Do you want Feng Linglong to be the Empress instead Don't forget, Feng Yu Xi is your wife's only daughter and the legitimate daughter of General's Mansion. With her as Empress, this will bring glory to our General's Mansion."

Feng Aotian listened to Feng Lingxi's sarcastic words, feeling very uncomfortable.

“Xier, do you truly believe she is fit to be Empress You know all that Yuxi has done these years. If she becomes Empress, what difference would there be between her and the Demon Queen She would bring ruin to the country, not honor our family name. Sooner or later, our General's Mansion will be disgraced by her."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a sneer, her beautiful eyes swept over Feng Aotiantian, her voice still as cold as ever.

"It's remarkable, you can actually see through all this. This is truly unlike you."

"Has it always been this interesting I know what you're thinking, but are you really willing to be empress through thick and thin If she becomes empress, will you have any good days left"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Feng Aotiān's posture of wanting to cooperate with her, and her smile deepened.

It's really interesting. This man, who used to never look down on his own father, actually spoke so much wisdom to her. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have doubted if this Feng Aotian was real.

"A mere Feng Yuxi, I don't even care about her. What could she possibly do to me In the Great Yuan Dynasty, I was the Fourth Princess of the Great Yuan. But here, I am the future Saintess of the Yao Clan, answerable to no nation. Most importantly, as long as I choose to cooperate with a nation, what could a mere Feng Yuxi do to me Even with the 500,000 soldiers of the Great Yuan Dynasty, I, Feng Lingxi, would not bat an eye."

He, Dugu Yan, has 500,000 soldiers. Could it be that Dugu City doesn't

They really thought she would be bound by those ridiculous rules of the Yuan Dynasty. What if she pushed back So what Throughout history, the capable have always taken power. Her not resisting doesn't mean they can bully her at will.

Feng Aotian looked at her, shocked by her words. Of all his children, he understood Feng Lingxi the least and saw through her the least. Now, she was no longer the foolish fourth young lady she once was. He didn't even know how much she and her mother had concealed from him.

"Since you put it that way, I don't have much to say either. If you don't want to involve yourself in this, I won't press the issue. But let me remind you, it's better to be safe than sorry. Be careful, as the world can be cruel and people can be ruthless. Don't get caught off guard."

Feng Aotiān finished speaking and then turned to leave.

Feng Lingxi heard him say that Feng Yu Xi was ruthless, and she thought she had misheard. She looked at Du Gu Cheng, and remained speechless for a long time.

"It seems that Feng Aotian has truly seen through his several daughters' true faces this time. However, what this king is curious about is why Feng Linglong sought your help"
