urgery, Baimo Bai wouldn't have stood a chance. That's why she's so angry and wants to seek revenge.Repeated concessions, the actions of Dugu Xiu and Feng Yixuan truly pushed her to her limit. She eve...Dugu Cheng received a summons. Feng Ling Xi and Wan'er will enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager tomorrow. His eyes were full of worry.

It was Emperor Yuanzhao who was summoned, and Dugu City knew that the purpose of this time must be related to Lu Nian's recent gift-giving.

The day after tomorrow is Empress Shu's birthday. Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to accompany Empress Shu. As for her purpose, Du Gucheng can't be sure. Besides, Empress Shu had poisoned Xi'er when she was in Linxi County before, and then lost her memory. Du Gucheng is very uneasy about this.

"Xier, tomorrow you will enter the palace. Remember your words and actions, be careful, and absolutely don't let slip of the tongue and give others a handle. When you see your mother, address her as Empress Dowager, do not call her Mother like before. She is now the Empress Dowager of the Great Yuan Dynasty, not our mother. The difference in status is significant, remember this."

Dugu Cheng cautioned, Feng Lingxi nodded but felt uneasy in her heart.

“Your Majesty's actions must be because of Lu Nian’s gift-giving incident. I have heard that many officials in the court impeached me, saying that I colluded with Lu Nian and intended to raise funds. Tomorrow, if you are asked, just say that Lu Nian is a friend from Yi Pin Xiang. As for why he did this, just say that he considers you his long-lost sister. His purpose is still under investigation.”

Feng Ling Xi heard this, her eyes filled with worry.

"In that case, wouldn't it put Lu Nian in danger He means no harm, he just acts too flamboyantly."

Dugu City shook his head, "No, this Lu Nian is not as incompetent as you think. This time, he must have known about it. Rest assured, just deal with the Empress Dowager well. As for Lu Nian, if he asks, this King will give him an answer."

Feng Lingxi nodded, and at this point, that was all they could do.

"My lord, Master Lu sent a letter."

Ye Xi stepped forward, handing a letter to Du Gu Cheng. Du Gu Cheng opened the letter and read it, then looked at Feng Ling Xi.

"Lu Nian's news is really well-connected. He already knows about your entry into the palace tomorrow and tells you to just deal with it as you see fit, don't worry about him. As for the rest, he will handle it himself."

"Let me see."

Feng Ling hurriedly took the letter. Lu Nian's letter wasn't long, but it clearly told them not to worry about him. He also apologized, saying that he had dragged them down and that they should take care of themselves. He didn't need them to worry about him here. If anything happened, he would take responsibility.

I didn't expect him to be so genuinely invested in us.

Feng Lingxi handed the letter to Dugu Cheng, saying, "Burn this letter, so that it won't fall into the wrong hands and cause trouble."

Dugu Cheng walked aside and burned the letter.

"Xier, I'm sorry, but you'll have to bear with things more tomorrow."

He knew that making Le'er face her mother would be difficult for her, and he was grateful for her generosity and forgiveness. He couldn't accompany her into the palace this time, and he didn't know what the Emperor intended with this summons or what thoughts the Empress Dowager had. All he could do was hope that Le'er would be able to handle it tomorrow.

"I'm not worried about myself, only that Wan'er is still young. I'm concerned that when she enters the palace to see the Empress Dowager, she might have a verbal conflict with her and get you into trouble."

Mentioning Wan'er, her temperament would be fine in Linxi County, but now that she has entered the palace, she is ignorant of etiquette and undisciplined. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will deliberately make things difficult for her, after all, when she was in Linxi County, the Empress Dowager disliked her.

Feng Lingxi was worried that Wan'er would be wronged when she entered the palace. After all, with her current status, even if Taishi wanted to punish Wan'er, it would only take a word.

"I'll have a good talk with Wan'er later. Wan'er is sensible and will understand."

Feng Lingxi responded, "I'll go find Wan'er first and tell her some etiquette."

These years, moving around the palace, this aspect of etiquette, Feng Lingxi still knows quite a bit. She's just worried that Wan'er is so young and telling her, she might not understand or remember.

Now, she truly regretted not teaching Wan'er some basic etiquette and manners back then.

Feng Lingxi seriously talked with Wan'er for a whole night. Wan'er fell asleep listening to her and didn't continue. Looking at her daughter sleeping soundly, Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of worry.

"After talking for so long, Juan still wasn't sure if she had been listening."

I hope tomorrow will get through.

Dugu Cheng returned to his room and saw Feng Lingxi staring at Wan'er. His worried expression made him furrow his brow, "Why aren't you asleep yet"

Feng Lingxi seeing the doubt in Dugu City's eyes, was even more worried.

"If something were to happen to me tomorrow when I enter the palace, please don't be impulsive."

"What are you talking about."

Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Lingxi down and sat beside her, pouring her a cup of water. "Didn't we agree Go to the palace and get along well with Empress Shu, everything will pass."

Feng Lingxi's heart was uneasy, not only because of Tai Hou Shu but also because of Wan'er. This girl had said so much tonight, and she hadn't nodded once, just stared at her, wondering if she understood or not.

What terrified her more was that Wan'er might remember how the Empress Dowager had disliked her in the past. If she offended her with her words, she really didn't dare to think about what would happen.

Even if she has amnesia, she is still the King's biological mother. Wan'er is her granddaughter. Trust me, everything will be alright.

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, “Perhaps I overthought it.”

獨孤城 pulled her to the couch for a rest, “Don’t think about anything, just take a good sleep. We’ll face tomorrow properly then. I’ll be here waiting for you to come back.”

He gently kissed her forehead, tucked the blanket around her, and lay down beside her. Dugu City blew out the candles.

This night, Feng Ling Xi slept very restlessly, having nightmares one after another. She dreamt of Wan'er being beaten until she was covered in blood. When she woke up from the dream, it was already dawn, and only she was left on the bed.

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

Xiao Li came in and saw the princess drenched in sweat. She stepped forward with water and helped her wash up.

"Xiaoli, where is Wan'er"

"Playing in the courtyard, today is the day to enter the palace, this little girl Wan'er is especially excited."

Feng Lingxi, after washing up, took Xiao Li's hand and said with a serious face, "Today we are going into the palace. You stay by my side at all times. Remember, don't let Wan'er out of your sight. If anyone troubles me, no matter what, you must not speak. Remember, if I don't speak, you mustn't act like you used to, understand"

Xiao Li was frightened by the Queen's serious expression and nodded hurriedly.

"This slave remembers."

"Keep a close eye on Wan'er, make sure she doesn't speak out of turn, and remind her to be polite."

Wan'er nodded, Feng Lingxi only then felt relieved. She went out with Wan'er to have breakfast. Dugu Cheng was not at home. He had been called to Yuwangfu early in the morning. This sudden trip to Yuwangfu made Feng Lingxi ask the housekeeper, who only said that someone from Yuwangfu had personally come to pick him up, so he went.

The imperial carriage came to take Feng Ling Xi and Wan'er into the palace. Dugu City had not returned either.

This was Wan'er's first time visiting the palace, and she was overjoyed throughout the journey. She kept looking around with wide eyes, full of delight.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you and Miss Wan'er in Ci'an Palace. This servant, by the Emperor's order, escorts you to Ci'an Palace. Please, Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi took Wan'er's hand and softly said, "Thank you, sir, for leading the way."

"The words that the Princess Consort of Chen said, this is the Emperor's order. The servant is also doing things for the Emperor. If the Princess Consort of Chen really wants to thank, she should thank the Emperor."ade the elder to let your mother come here.""Fraudster!" Wan'er suddenly cried out, her sobs leaving Luoli speechless and filled with guilt.Such a young child using this method to seek revenge, all j...
