Chapter 1402: Smoke and Fire Part 223

cheme. Now he’s ambitious, wanting to rule the entire country. The court is full of his puppets. Uncle Emperor is just a shell now.”"Uncle, I'm sorry. It's all because of my incompetence that you've h...As soon as Du Gucheng spoke, Lu Nian gave a couple of reminders and then left with the man.

"How could Princess Qingfeng have been kidnapped She wouldn't have made any enemies by coming here, would she Was she targeted"

Feng Ling Xi frowned in confusion. How could she, a princess, be kidnapped She had numerous guards and maidservants at her side. And what audacity did the person have to kidnap a princess from Xigu Kingdom

If she hadn't been kidnapped after exposing her identity, it's very possible that people were targeting her money. But if her identity was exposed and she was still kidnapped, then there must be a conspiracy behind this.

Dugu City stood up, "Let's go to the inn and see the Chancellor. This king always felt that something was off about what the Chancellor said yesterday."

"Didn't you say I shouldn't interfere How come you're asking me to go now I won't go, lest I cause trouble for you." Feng Lingxi retorted angrily. Don't think that she wouldn't be angry just because of this.

Dugu City let out a long sigh, bowing to Feng Ling Xi, "My love, this king was wrong. This king was so wrong, wasn't he Besides, if I hadn't spoken that way yesterday, would you have come here to drink and vent your frustration Now that you feel better, you can continue to be with this king and do whatever you want."

"Humph."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, "Don't think that just because you speak nicely I won't be angry."

"Yes, yes, yes, my love, you're right. It's all my fault. I accept the punishment. However, I truly wanted to give you an outlet for your frustrations. Suppressing them for too long worries me, I fear something might happen to you."

When Dugu Cheng said that, Feng Lingxi actually agreed. Although she had gotten very drunk last night, she had to admit that her mood today felt like a weight had been lifted. She felt much lighter all around.

獨孤城見她不再生氣了，不由得鬆了一口氣。

"Your Highness."

Night Xi entered and saw Feng Ling Xi was also there. She hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness."

"What's wrong"

Xi was really fortunate to arrive tonight, resolving his current predicament.

Night Xi glanced at Feng Ling Xi and replied, "A message came from the post house saying that the prime minister fainted again this morning. The princess is asked to go and have a look."

"Fainting again Do you know the reason" Feng Lingxi heard the word "fainting" and, thinking of the prime minister's body, felt a bit exasperated. He really didn't treat his own body as important. If it weren't for being in Linxi County, she really wouldn't want to care about his life or death.

Yexi secretly glanced at the King, seeing that he ignored him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and answer, "Reporting to the Princess, I heard it was because the General of Zhen Guo and the Prime Minister argued. The two quarreled, and this Prime Minister, without a good grasp, lost to the General of Zhen Guo."

Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gu Cheng, mentioning Feng Aotian's chaotic nature, "This is what I call a troublemaker. He doesn't know that the Chancellor is easily agitated, and he still argues with him. Really..."

Sheng Huo, Feng Ling xi clutched at her chest, trying her best to calm herself down.

"Xier, he wouldn't fight with the prime minister for no reason. There must be something going on. Let's go there first and find out what happened before we say anything else. He still has time to come."

“Your Highness, you really can't blame General Zhen Guo for this. This time, General Zhen Guo argued with the Prime Minister because of you.” Ye Xi spoke softly on behalf of Feng Aotian, knowing the relationship between the Princess and General Zhen Guo, some words should still be said.

"For me What did they say"

As expected, hearing that it was because she had an argument, Feng Lingxi immediately wasn't as angry as before. Her attitude changed drastically. This period of time, Feng Aotien's changes towards her were truly too great.

"It seems that because of yesterday's incident, the Chancellor thinks that the Crown Princess is lying. The Chancellor's wife wasn't suffering from long-term poisoning, and he doubted the Crown Princess. The General then got angry and they started arguing."

Feng Lingxi, hearing this, was genuinely surprised.

When did Feng Aotien become so good to her He's so protective of her. Doesn't he know what kind of consequences his falling out with the Prime Minister could bring

"Go take a look."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng who was standing by the side, took a few steps, but did not see him follow. She turned around and pulled him, "You'd better hurry up, what are you spacing out for"

"Aren't you angry anymore"

"I need to get to the bottom of this. Since it involves me, I can't just stand idly by. You doubt me Do you expect me to confess to being involved in the death of the Chancellor's wife before you're satisfied"

Feng Lingxi was very annoyed, "This chancellor is really something else. Yesterday he was heartbroken, and now he actually doubts my judgment." If the chancellor's wife's body were found, then she could get an autopsy to prove her innocence.

“The body of the Prime Minister’s wife has not been found yet. Now that Lu Nian is looking for Princess Qingfeng, this king will have the people from Tiangxianglou continue to search for the Prime Minister’s wife’s body. If we find it, we can have the coroner perform an autopsy and determine the cause of death, which will completely clear your name.”

Dugu City truly understood Feng Lingxi's heart and knew what she was thinking.

"I'm afraid there won't even be any bones left."

Feng Lingxi quickened her pace, left the house and got into a carriage, heading straight for the post station.

"Xi'er, when you get to the relay station later, please be polite and don't make the Prime Minister faint again."

Dugu City whispered a warning, he was truly worried that Xiy'er wouldn't be able to control herself, and this Prime Minister fainted again.

"His body wouldn't get dizzy this easily." If something like this were to happen, it wouldn't be dizziness, but a stroke.

獨孤城 looked at Xi'er's displeasure in her eyes and soothed, "This Prime Minister can't have an accident here. If something happens to him, we won't be able to explain it to the court."

"I know, I'll explain things to him properly. But if he insists on blaming me for the death of the Chancellor's wife, then I have no choice but to speak up." It would be better to infuriate him than to let her die.

Feng Lingxi cursed in her heart, "Such a stubborn mind," she thought. Glancing at Dugu Cheng beside her, she recalled his words this morning. This man was suppressing himself too much; he needed to release some tension. Only then could he think more clearly and calmly deal with problems.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng just arrived at the inn when they saw people coming in and out of it. After inquiring with someone, they learned that the prime minister had fainted and the doctors summoned by him were currently treating him. These people were all attending to him.

"Doctor, how is my father"

Nan Gong Hua Shuang watched the doctor get up and glanced at her father leaning against the bed, inquiring about the doctor's condition with concern.

"My lord, the Grand Secretary has been stimulated and his blood qi is surging. He needs to rest properly and avoid further stimulation."

Feng Aotian snorted coldly upon hearing this, looking at the Prime Minister's half-dead appearance, he was enraged. He had been here every day, acting like he was dying. During his time in court, no matter how much stimulation he faced, he could endure it. He only put on a show now.

Thank you, doctor.

Nan Gong Hua Shuang looked at Feng Ao Tian, pleadingly, "General Zhen Guo, my father is already like this, please don't keep arguing with him. I will apologize to you and hope you will forgive me and be more tolerant."

"This general wouldn't dare. Instead, I would ask the Prime Minister to take good care of his health. I don't want him to fall ill and blame me later."

>ncess saw Feng Lingxi's lack of reaction and secretly glanced at her, carefully asking, "Fourth Princess, are you listening"Feng Lingxi glanced at her and after a while, said, “If even the Third Princ...
