d, always choosing the best. And she, would always be unwanted by Feng Ling Xi."Your Majesty came here to speak with this king, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will know and punish you"Dugu City st..."Xiao Li, do you think Dugu Xiu would do such a thing"

If she didn't agree to Du Gu Xiu today, tomorrow he would send Feng Aotian an arm, letting his mother see it. Would his mother be able to accept that

"The slave girl thinks that the Princess should discuss with Madam first. General Feng is after all Madam's husband."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, she just didn't want her mother to know, afraid that she would be impulsive and taken advantage of, but also afraid that Dugu Xiu was serious.

"Xiao Li, you have someone inquire, see if Dugu Xiu has really returned, and whether Feng Aotian has been imprisoned."

Xiao Li responded and Feng Ling Xi, holding a letter, came to her mother's tent. Seeing several generals and her mother discussing military affairs, she walked over with the letter in hand.

"Mother, generals, just now Dugu Xiu sent a letter saying that if I don't hand over Zi Xing, tomorrow they will send Feng Aotiantian one arm."

Feng Lingxi handed the letter to her mother. Yao Wan'ying read it after receiving it, then passed it on to the several generals. There was no anxiety on her face, which surprised Feng Lingxi with her calmness.

"Generals, what do you think of this"

"Feng Aotian is, after all, a general sent by the imperial court to attack us. How could this Dugu Xiu have such authority to dispose of a general"

General Li frowned, somewhat doubting the truth of this matter.

"I think so too, but given Empress Cen's character, it's not entirely impossible."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Xi'er and Mother agree. If Empress Dowager Cen really uses Feng Aotiao to threaten me, she might even exchange him for Zi Xing. But why doesn't Feng Aotiao resist Why would he let them use him"

If he truly treated her as his daughter, how could he bear to have her imprisoned by Empress Dowager Cen and be threatened and manipulated by her

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt that this father was really cruel. For power and status, he had truly become inhuman.

"Wanting Zixing is impossible. Just respond directly and have them bring Feng Aotian's corpse here."

Yao Wan Ying clenched her fists. She was gambling, Feng Ao Tian was teaming up with Empress Cen to get her Purple Star. If Feng Ao Tian really died for the Purple Star, then that was his own doing.

"Mother, are you sure you want to bet like this"

Feng Lingxi looked at the generals, "Why don't we negotiate with them If they want Zixing, let them bring Feng Aotiantian to the city gate tomorrow. If it is true, then we will make plans. If it is a scheme, we will also see it clearly."

"Xier, what if they use a ruse of feigning weakness Remember, Feng Linglong and Feng Yuxi are both the current emperor's favored concubines. Feng Aotian is also a national uncle. If Empress Cen dared to kill Feng Aotian, she would have to bring down the entire General's Mansion. Do you think she would do such a thing"

Yao Wan'ying's analysis made Feng Lingxi suddenly realize, "Mother, Xi'er thought things through, disappointing you."

"You go down first, I'll handle this."

Yao Wan-ying signaled for everyone else to leave, then stared intently at the paper slip containing the letter.

As night fell, Feng Lingxi tossed and turned on her bed, unable to sleep. Dugu Xiu's letter had left her feeling uneasy. Although Feng Aotian hadn't been kind to her, he was still the father of this body she inhabited. If she truly received his arm tomorrow, she didn't know how she would face it.

Although she says she doesn't care on the surface, Mother actually still likes Father. Otherwise, she wouldn't be angry.

"Your Majesty, it's terrible! The madam has been captured by Dugu Xiu!"

Xiao Li rushed in and hurriedly shouted, "Feng Ling Xi heard this and her face changed drastically. "

"Tonight, your wife went to Dugu Xiu's military camp alone and was captured. Dugu Xiu sent word that you should bring the Purple Star tomorrow to exchange for her, or he will send her body over tomorrow."

"How could Mother have gone to Dugu Xiu's military camp"

When Feng Lingxi heard that his mother was arrested, his face darkened, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Your Highness, Madam seems to be reluctant to let go of General Feng. After all, they were once husband and wife…"

"Understood, you may leave."

Feng Lingxi didn't want to listen anymore. Her head was buzzing now. She knew it was a trap, but why didn't her mother say anything before going to Duguxiu's camp Wasn't she sending sheep into the tiger's mouth

Xiaoli looked at the queen's agitated face, wishing the king would return.

"Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you."

Outside the door, General Li's voice rang out. Feng Lingxi announced his arrival, and General Li hurried forward, saying, "Your Highness, would you allow me to go to the Sixth Prince's camp and save your wife"

"General Li, are you confident"

General Li's expression stiffened slightly, clearly indicating that he did not.

Wind Ling Xi's beautiful eyes sank slightly, "Please retreat. Allow me to think things over properly. There will be a way."

She knew that sending Zixing away wouldn't necessarily mean Dugu Xiu would return her mother. What if, when the time came, Zixing ended up in their hands They might even take her life then.

"Your Highness, please don't act rashly. Let's discuss this together if there's something wrong."

General Li looked at the Princess this way, he was truly afraid that the Princess would be impulsive and captured by the Sixth Prince again. Then it would be truly impossible to remedy the situation, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to the King.

"General Li, please rest assured, I will not act impulsively."

She knew exactly what Dugu Xiu's intentions were and wasn't foolish enough to walk right into his trap.

General Li then went out.

Feng Lingxi held the terrain map, looking at Dugu Xiu's current situation, her beautiful eyes became more and more worried.

If she were to meet him alone tomorrow, Du Gu Xiu would certainly be prepared. No matter what she did, she wouldn't come out empty-handed. Saving her parents would be even more difficult.

"Your Highness, someone wishes to see you."

Little Li entered to report, Feng Lingxi frowned, "Who"

"It was a stranger, a man who claimed he had a way to help the princess with her pressing concerns."

Feng Lingxi walked out, looked at the man with his back to her, and walked over to greet him politely.

"Sir Knight, what is your name"

Feng Ling Xi opened her mouth, and the man turned around. He wore a half-fox mask, concealing his true face, but his sharp black eyes were impossible to forget at a glance.

"Greetings, Your Highness. My name is Xue Wu Shang."

Feng Lingxi looked at this masked swordsman and made a gesture inviting him to speak, "Master Xue, let's talk inside."

"Queen..."

Little Li hurriedly stopped the princess and walked to her, whispering, "Be careful, there might be a trick."

Feng Ling Xi raised her hand, "Guests are welcome. There is no harm."

Xue Wushang gazed at Feng Lingxi with admiration, "Your Highness is bold. Xue will not go in. Xue is here to make a deal with Your Highness. I'll help you save your parents, and Your Highness agrees to one condition of mine."

"Mr. Xue, please speak."

She wanted to see what kind of ability Xue Wushang had to save her parents

"The princess only needs to agree to this humble servant, as for what the conditions are, when Xue has thought of them, he will tell the princess."

"Your Highness, you mustn't agree to him. What if he makes unreasonable demands Are you going to agree to his every whim"

Xiao Li's words made Xue Wu Shang laugh, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If the conditions I propose are too excessive, they will be disregarded, how about it"ery carefully. After a while, he said, “The pulse is weak now and I haven't detected anything amiss.”Dugu Su nodded, "These are normal after the poison takes effect.""The pulse of the Princess Consort...
