Looking at the worry in the mother’s eyes, Feng Lingxi responded, “Don’t worry, mother, daughter-in-law will pay attention.”
“Your father and I are very worried about your assassination. If Cheng’er hadn’t stopped him, the mother would have gone back to see you long ago.”
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng in confusion when she heard his mother’s words, and stopped her from going back to see her. Why is this?
“Mother’s mother wants to take care of her, so I stop her.”
Dugucheng’s explanation made Feng Lingxi relieved. Yes, the emperor’s situation was much more serious than her. If the mother went out to see her and the father had an accident, he would probably shift all the responsibility to the mother’s mother.
“Mother, please be relieved. My daughter-in-law is taken care of by the prince, so there will be no trouble.”
When Dugu Cheng heard her words, the curve of the corners of his lips rose more and more. It seems that she still cared about what he did these days, this woman who said something wrong.
“I feel relieved when I see you are fine. I will accompany me and your mother to have dinner and go back later.”
“Daughter-in-law obeys the order.”
Feng Lingxi’s politeness made the emperor frown slightly, “Xi’er, you are my daughter-in-law, you don’t need such politeness.”
“Thank you, father.”
Concubine Shu held Feng Lingxi’s hand, “Xi’er, accompany her mother to the garden and let Cheng’er talk to your father.”
Feng Lingxi responded and followed her mother.
“Mother, are you still in good health today?”
Concubine Shu was very happy to see her well-behaved and understand the situation.
“Mother is fine here, but you really didn’t see the assassin’s face clearly?”
“The daughter-in-law really didn’t see clearly. He was wearing a veil.”
Concubine Shu frowned, “The Cheng’er left the city that day and was stopped by someone. After you had an accident, when the mother heard it, she wanted to go out to see you, but the queen happened to stop her.”
Queen?
Could it be that the queen sent her to assassinate her?
“Mother’s mother doesn’t know who ordered you to be assassinated, but Xi’er must remember that Cheng’er can protect you. You must be good with him and don’t let the people behind the scenes take advantage of the loopholes, so as not to hurt yourself.”
“My daughter-in-law understands, thank you Mother.”
Concubine Shu nodded, “I know you are a smart person, and you can understand all the mother’s words.”
“My mother’s meaning is, my daughter-in-law understands.”
Concubine Shu’s eyes were staring at the front, “The queen is the queen.”
Feng Lingxi looked up and saw the queen walking towards them, and Feng Lingxi hurriedly saluted.
“I have seen the Empress.”
The Queen’s eyes swept across Feng Lingxi, and sheHe smiled and said, “I heard that the emperor was drinking tea and flowers with Shufei in the Imperial Garden, so I came to take a look. Unexpectedly, the fourth princess came too.”
Feng Lingxi lowered her head and said respectfully, “Empress, all blessings.”
The queen stepped forward to help her, “I heard that you were assassinated a few days ago, and my body was so brisk?
“Thank you for your concern, it’s much better.”
The queen’s eyes fell on her face, and she saw her rosy complexion, “Can you see the face of the assassin?”
“Back to the queen, no.”
“This damn assassin, if I let me know who it is, I will kill his nine clans.”
Feng Lingxi was angry and couldn’t speak.
“Thank you for your concern.”
The queen looked at Feng Lingxi’s well-behaved and sensible appearance and said with a smile, “Is it good for the Fourth Princess to accompany me to have a walk?”
Feng Lingxi didn’t expect that the queen would ask her to accompany her. This was not true of refusal, nor was it true of agreeing.
