Chapter 247: Seize the Throne

ingxi couldn't help but sneer. Of all the things she said, where was there any sign of a discussion"Mother, do you hope I accept or refuse"Feng Lingxi asked, looking at Shu Taifei's eyes turned cold...."I didn't expect you to be so afraid of him. I thought he would be afraid of you."

This statement from Feng Yu Xi made Feng Ling Xi's face flush. "In some aspects, women can indeed be conquered by men, Third Sister, I am too..."

"Look at how you spoil them."

Feng Yu was overwhelmed by her bashful demeanor. Was this him showing off how much he loved her and Dugu City in front of her

The coldness in his eyes was hidden deep within, but on the surface he smiled and said, “Well, you continue to look at your big rock. I’d better go for a walk, otherwise I’ll suffocate.”

"Third Sister, be careful when you go out, and come back early."

Watching Feng Yu Xi leave in the rain and wind, Feng Ling Xi shouted loudly. Seeing her walk away, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, he beckoned to Xiao Li and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to secretly keep an eye on her, and report any situation to me immediately, don't let her discover it."

"I understand."

Feng Lingxi threw the stone in her hand away, then got up and walked towards her laboratory.

Feng Yu Xi took Xiao Rou out in the rain, watching the people at the market square before arriving at a teahouse. After sitting down for a short while, Feng Yu Xi instructed Xiao Rou, "Go buy some osmanthus cakes from that shop downstairs and bring them back to share with Xi'er later."

Xiao Rou responded and left. A figure hurried to Feng Yu Xi's side and sat down. Feng Yu Xi handed the person a letter and whispered, "Feng Ling Xi doesn't know Zi Xing. Is the news reliable"

"It was the necklace she wore around her neck, that was Purple Star."

As the wind and rain howled in unison, the man handed her a piece of paper and left.

As night fell, Feng Lingxi, after taking a bath, saw Feng Yuxi arriving with Xiaorou. "Xier," Feng Yuxi said, "I bought some osmanthus cakes for you today when I went out. They taste just like the ones in Beijing. I especially brought some for you to try."

Feng Lingxi tidied her clothes and unconsciously played with the necklace on her neck. Feng Yu Xi's eyes were fixed on the necklace, sure enough it was Zi Xing.

"Xier, the necklace you're wearing looks so beautiful. Can I take a look"

Fei Ling lowered her head to look at 'Zi Xing,' then looked up into Feng Yu Xi's eyes, seeing the burning intensity within them. She smiled and took it down, "Of course."

As the rain and wind picked up, she received a necklace. Looking at the purple star pendant inside, she unconsciously asked, "Xi'er, who gave you this necklace I've never seen you wear it before. This purple stone is really beautiful."

"This was left to me by my mother. She gave it to me before she passed away, as a last thought."

Feng Lingxi faintly said, telling her about the origin of the necklace. Watching the light that flashed in her eyes, a thought occurred to him. He looked at Feng Yu Xi and said, "You like this necklace, don't you"

"I think it's really pretty. The first time I saw a purple stone, could this be the Purple Star"

Feng Ling hurriedly took the Zi Xing and held it in her hand, looking at it over and over. "No way, this necklace is nothing special besides its unique color."

"But coincidentally, this is purple. I wonder if this is the Purple Star the Empress wants"

Seeing Feng Ling Xi's face full of doubt, Feng Yu Xi took the purple star and looked at it, shaking her head.

"I don't know, maybe."

Wind and Rain hurriedly said, "Hide it well so that no one sent by the Empress Dowager can steal it. Since this is something left behind by your mother, you must keep it safe."

"Mm." Feng Ling Xi placed the Zi Xing around her neck, appearing nonchalant.

"If it weren't for what my mother left behind, I'd really just throw it away. I have no idea what they're going to do with it."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, her voice full of resignation. Seeing Feng Yu Xi staring at her neck intently, she laughed and said, "Third Sister, why don't I give it to you Anyway, I'm not interested in this."

"No, this is your mother's thing, I can't take it from you."

Yu Xi hastily declined, her mind secretly speculating, could Feng Lingxi be trying to probe her

She had slowed her pace, she shouldn't have discovered that she was here for her Zixing, let alone, her plan wasn't flawed.

"If this thing is really what the Empress wants, keeping it by my side will only bring me a lot of trouble. It's better to give it to you. They definitely wouldn't think I would give Zi Xing to you, and they wouldn't investigate you either. Just take it."

Feng Lingxi shoved the necklace into her hand. Feng Yu Xi looked at her nonchalant expression and suddenly doubted, wasn't this necklace fake Otherwise, how could she so casually give Zi Xing to her

"Why didn't you have the Fourth Prince keep this for you If this is truly Zixing, it must be very important. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager wouldn't want it so badly."

"No, the Empress Dowager is staring at both me and your brother. She'll give him the same outcome as staying by my side. The Empress Dowager isn't stupid; unless you, Third Sister, don't want to help me keep this necklace."

“It’s not that,” Feng Yu hurriedly explained, “I’m just afraid of losing something so valuable. How could I possibly make it up to you if I did”

"Just let it go. As long as it doesn't leave my hands, I wouldn't be this bothered." Feng Lingxi said casually. Feng Yu Xi was taken aback, "This is something your mother left you, you don't care at all"

You gotta be alive to care, you know

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi's conflicted expression in her eyes, and placed Zi Xing in her hand, "If you don't mind, please keep it for me. I trust you."

As the rain and wind swept, Feng Yu raised her eyes to meet Feng Ling Xi's gaze. The unwavering belief in his eyes pierced her heart deeply at that moment. He trusted her so much, and she suddenly felt incredibly cruel for what she was about to do.

"Xier, do you really believe me this much What if, one day, I return to the palace for the sake of my position and hand Zi Xing over to the Empress Dowager, won't you worry about Zi Xing falling into the hands of the Empress Dowager"

"Third Sister, do you know how to do it" Feng Lingxi stared into her eyes, watching as she couldn't speak back, and smiled faintly. "If I can truly help you, then it would be worth something. Third Sister, just take it."

Feng Yu Xi was holding Zi Xing, caught in a struggle.

Now that Zixing was in her hands, she only needed to kill Xi'er and she could return to the palace and be promoted to貴妃. Her future would be bright. But if she revealed the truth now, she would never be able to return. She didn't know what her life would be like afterwards.

"Xier, thank you for your trust. I will keep it safe for you."

Feng Lingxi responded and looked as Yu Xi carefully put away Zi Xing in the face of the wind and rain. She stood up, "Then I'll leave my mother's belongings to you. I have to go out for a while and will be back later to chat with you."

Feng Yu Xi looked at her leaving figure, unconsciously clutching Zi Xing. She had it now, should she strike and kill Feng Ling Xi As long as she killed her, power and status would all be hers. She could then, like Feng Ling Long, sit on equal footing.

Xi'er, I'm sorry!

Feng Yu Xi was holding Zi Xing and quickly walked towards the city gate. A figure emerged from the darkness, watching Feng Yu Xi's departing back, and quickly followed her.ited for several days at the inn, but the news he sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response whatsoever. This result made him realize the gravity of the situation; Duguo City had...
