Chapter 1616: A Lifetime Together, Part 24 >

e. In other words, all her previous actions at the General's Mansion were merely an act.Only now, seeing her room, did I realize that with just her like this, the Fourth Prince being good to her was p...Feng Lingxi nodded, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere now" It seemed that the Yao clan knew about her mother leaving things here with Feng Aotian. She had to quickly destroy the items as her mother instructed.

"No."

Feng Aotian's mouth opened weakly, Feng Lingxi leaned down, "No luck."

"Thank you."

Feng Lingxi let out a breath of relief. As long as the things hadn't fallen into their hands, he was still safe for now. The Yao clan would definitely find another chance to come looking for him. No wonder he said this place wasn't safe.

"You're welcome."

"Take good rest, I'll do my best to cure you. Now listen to me, talk less and rest more, I'll be here to help you." Feng Lingxi spoke, looking at Feng Aotien like this now, she was truly afraid to leave, afraid that he would really have an accident.

Feng Aotien grasped Feng Lingxi's hand. Feng Lingxi looked down at him holding her palm; he was writing. Feng Lingxi stared in wonder at Feng Aotien. In the palm of her hand, he had written "secret room."

Feng Aotian finished writing, looked at her, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Big brother."

Feng Lingxi shouted, Lu Nian rushed in, "What's wrong"

"Could you contact the Dugu City branch to send someone here to investigate this case His condition isn't good, he suffered severe head trauma, I'm a bit worried." She had to figure out how to deal with it quickly if there was bleeding in his brain.

Lu Nian nodded, "Then be more careful yourself. I'll go notify them."

As soon as Lu Nian had taken a step, she saw the butler knock on the door and enter.

"Your Highness, this is a letter from the master, and I was instructed to deliver it personally."

Feng Lingxi took it and looked at the steward, "When did he write this"

"Two days ago, the master suddenly called me over, saying he wanted to leave something for you. I was puzzled, and I never expected this would happen today," the housekeeper said, wiping away tears. Feng Lingxi looked at the letter in her hand without opening it.

"Why doesn't the Duchess of Chen look at what her husband wrote in the letter"

The housekeeper saw that Feng Lingxi hadn't opened the letter and asked in bewilderment,

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "I haven't decided when to open it yet. Why don't you help me open it and take a look"

"The servant does not dare."

The steward hurriedly spoke, lowering his head, his dark eyes filled with panic. Feng Lingxi saw it all but remained calm.

"Butler, do you know who injured the General His leg is hurt, but his martial arts are still there. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been beaten like this." Feng Lingxi feigned confusion and asked. The butler hurriedly shook his head, "The servant doesn't know, the servant wasn't present."

"This has nothing to do with you. The courtyard of this General's Mansion is so large, and you aren't his personal attendant. It's understandable that you wouldn't know. But who takes care of the General Why haven't I seen anyone serving him"

"Your Highness, the person taking care of the General was killed on the spot, and there is his blood in the backyard."

The steward honestly replied, seeing that Feng Lingxi didn't doubt him, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Such a thing happening in broad daylight is truly chilling. Under the Emperor's feet, such an incident occurs, and it happens at the General Zhen Guo's mansion I never would have imagined." Feng Lingxi sighed and asked, "Where's Yi Xuan Why can't I see him"

"Young Master Yi Xuan has gone out to do business and won't be back at the manor these days."

And what of Miss

Feng Lingxi asked again, and the steward stammered, "One piece followed along."

“Are the kids coming too”

The butler nodded. Feng Lingxi didn't believe it. This Feng Yixuan bringing Tian Xiaomi was one thing, but bringing a child along It was simply inconceivable.

"Yes."

The steward dared to say, looking at Feng Lingxi's puzzled gaze, he explained, "Princess Chen doesn't know, the young mistress and young master have a good relationship and have always liked to be together. It's not strange."

"That's true, Tian Xiaomi is quite clingy to men. But Yi Xuan isn't any better either. He's already established a family, so how can he not consider his family's feelings He just runs around with his wife and children."

Feng Lingxi's tone carried a hint of reproach, her gaze fixed on the butler.

"Butler, how did the mistress die Could you tell me what happened"

When mentioning the Zhao family, the steward's face turned pale with anxiety. Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Tell us the truth, don't lie."

"Your Highness, the maidservant truly doesn't know what happened. The mistress quarreled with the master last night, and this morning she passed away suddenly. The maidservant doesn't know how to explain."

"What's all the commotion They're arguing at three in the morning"

"It was after last night's dinner that I went to report to the master. I heard them arguing, and this morning, Madam passed away. The servant did not dare to ask."

Feng Lingxi stared intently at the steward, a thoughtful look in her eyes that made the steward's heart pound.

"Why is the Princess Consort of Chen staring at me like that"

"Think about things."

Feng Ling xi looked the steward up and down, "Do you know that no one in this household calls General Zhen Guo 'Old Master,' they all just call him 'General'"

"Impossible, the servant has always called Master..."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at the butler's panicked eyes, "Are you sure"

The butler's face changed drastically. Seeing Feng Lingxi discover his identity, he suddenly drew his dagger from his waist and lunged at Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi dodged quickly, avoiding the assassination attempt, and with a flick of her finger, shot out a silver needle. The butler fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, lifeless.

"Who!"

Feng Lingxi coldly snorted, only a gust of wind was heard, and a figure fell.

"Lord, it is your servant."

Feng Lingxi looked at Yingba, "How did you come out I can handle this."

"Shadow Eight must not allow the Holy Lord to be harmed, this person intends to kill the Holy Lord, he cannot be left alive."

Yingba's voice was filled with killing intent. Feng Lingxi looked at Yingba, thinking that there was no one around her now, "Yingba, why don't you just stay by my side and follow me Don't hide in the shadows anymore, I'll give you a new look and follow me."

Kageha instinctively covered his face, "Holy Lord, Kageha is still protecting you in the shadows, Kageha is not used to..."

"You don't need to show your face, you just need to stay by my side, and change your clothes."

"Looking at the dead butler on the ground, 'Do you know this man'"

Yihito knelt down, tugged at the butler's collar, and looked at the distinctive tattoo on his neck, "Does the Holy Lord still remember this '卍' symbol"

"It seems this General's Mansion is truly hiding something deep. All these people have mixed in here, it seems they've set their sights on this place. My mother's situation must be really bad."

"She won't be in any danger, Shadow Eight can assure you."

Feng Lingxi nodded. "After all, my mother still has some use. If she's gone, that'll be the end of her."

Yingba responded, following Feng Lingxi's side, "Sacred Lord, do you have any good plans"

"The Yao clan has now gone to Lu's family to demand things. It seems like the next target they will go after is the Lu family."

Fortunately, the Lu family's position in Xigu Kingdom is deeply rooted. Moreover, since the Yao clan doesn't know the Lu family's secret, the Lu family should be safe for now.

"Dispose of this body properly, leave no trace."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, Yingba carrying the body of the housekeeper, leaped into the air, and disappeared into the backyard. stay at ease in the palace."Feng Ling Xi turned and looked at Du Gu Yan, seeing that he still wanted her to stay. She smiled brightly."Then many thanks, Your Majesty. Yao Hua will stay here for a few...
