Chapter 986: Metamorphosis 60

n Princess smiled and nodded, following Feng Lingxi back to her residence. Feng Lingxi had Xiaoli watch the door, then lifted her skirt and took a silver needle, piercing her knee. Looking at the silv...That man looked smug and said, "My young mistress is as beautiful as a fairy. There isn't anyone in the world who doesn't like her."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingxi nodded involuntarily. “In that case, I would like to see Miss Luo’s beauty with my own eyes.”

These people in Luo Mansion are truly something. Whether Ye Shuang's words are true or false, it's hard to say.

"Take them away."

Windling gave the order, and as she turned around, she saw Imperial Noble Consort Shu and Wan'er watching her from afar. Seeing that Windling had finished her questioning, Imperial Noble Consort Shu walked over.

"Xier, Mother has heard what that person just said. Mother knows nothing about this matter."

"Mother, what exactly is this Luo Mansion's background Hearing them call him 'Master Luo,' he must hold some official position."

Feng Lingxi wanted to figure out which officials in Xining County she needed to deal with before taking action. She wasn't very clear on who they were. Since this Lord Luo was described in such a way, if he truly was a lecherous man, he must be eliminated and not left to cause harm.

This imperial concubine isn't too sure either. While Linxi County isn't large, there are quite a few officials within the city, all holding important positions. If this Lord Luo truly is as he said before, then this person must not be allowed to remain.

Feng Ling Xi nodded, "Mother concubine, that's it. I'll go check."

"Be careful."

Feng Lingxi responded, her mind drifting to that Ye Shuang. She instructed, "Mother concubine, ignore that woman. My people will keep watch over her. You take Wan'er back to your own courtyard."

Shutai nodded, understanding that Feng Lingxi was worried about the woman posing a threat to them. After spending so much time together, their guard had naturally heightened.

After leaving his residence, Feng Lingxi inquired about the location of the Luo Mansion. Arriving alone at the mansion's gate, he gazed at the imposing plaque above it and compared it to the county office sign - there was a stark difference in grandeur.

"Your Highness."

Xiaoli discovered the arrival of the Princess Consort and hurriedly went to her side, whispering, "This servant has investigated. This Lord Luo is someone from Empress Cen's side. After the King took over the Linxi County, he had been here all along. To put it simply, Empress Cen sent him to monitor the King. He is a military officer, a seventh-rank official."

"Isn't that the same rank as a county magistrate"

"He's just relying on the Empress's backing to act arrogantly."

Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrow, "In that case, Lord Luo seems to be doing quite well here. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to cause trouble on Dugu City's territory. Dugu City is truly fearless."

The garrison commander has been stationed here for quite a while, and since there haven't been any incidents before, the Prince wouldn't pay much attention to him. With his busy schedule, he wouldn't keep an eye on him all the time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant today.

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "That's true. I was momentarily careless, allowing Lord Luo to seize this opportunity. He seemed so confident when he said he would send his daughter to Dugu City and promised to retrieve her. He must be waiting for the imperial decree."

"Xiao Li, go and tell him I want to see him."

"Your Highness, this is someone from Empress Cen's side. Wouldn't this be too risky"

Xiao Li was not at ease, “Why don’t we wait for the Prince to return and come together”

"It'll be too late then. If I'm not mistaken, Empress Cen will soon issue an imperial decree to grant this daughter of Lord Luo as a concubine to Duke Duguo. Then, Lord Luo will be able to openly monitor our every move."

As expected, the news of her reconciliation with Dugu City had already reached Empress Cen's ears. At this time, wanting to arrange a concubine for Dugu City was nothing more than placing a pawn by his side.

What Feng Lingxi hadn't expected was that while she was quick, Empress Cen was even faster. By the time she received the notice and rushed in, Empress Cen’s imperial decree had already arrived, and the marriage edict had been issued.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Upon hearing that Feng Lingxi had arrived, Luo Zhe greeted her with a smiling face. "Your Highness Queen Feng has graced us with her presence. I am deeply sorry for the lack of proper reception. Since the matter between my daughter and Your Highness has just been settled, it seems Your Highness has come to handle this on Your Highness's behalf."

"Lord Luo, what do you mean by that"

Feng Ling Xi sat down, and Luo Ze took out the imperial decree from the Empress Dowager and opened it, "Imperial Decree of the Empress Dowager, Fourth Royal Wife, please take a look."

Feng Lingxi glanced at it and returned the imperial edict.

"I have just returned to Linxi County and I never expected such good fortune would befall His Royal Highness. Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness. I accept the imperial decree on behalf of His Royal Highness. The wedding will take place in three days, and I will ensure that Lady Luo is welcomed into the manor according to proper etiquette."

Luo Zhe was surprised. He thought Feng Ling Xi would be angry, but he didn't expect her to agree.

"Thank you, Fourth Princess, for making this possible."

"Lord Luo is too polite. The Empress Dowager's kind intentions, how could I refuse Besides, as I control the Yao clan, this matter of the Wangfu expanding its branches still relies on Lady Luo to be responsible. This matter, I am delighted and can't wait."

Feng Lingxi exchanged pleasantries, though she didn't see this Luo Side Concubine. However, she admired Luo Ze's ability. He timed it perfectly; the speed of this marriage even surprised her.

After leaving the Luo Mansion, Xiaoli's face was downcast.

"My Queen, why would you agree to this marriage Do you truly wish for the King to take a concubine"

"There's nothing wrong with taking a concubine."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "This household is idle and has nothing to do. Besides, the Luo family is lavish and extravagant, there must be many benefits to be gained. Since Empress Cen will inevitably send people to monitor Du Gucheng, why not keep them here."

Does the Queen mean to counter-strategize

Feng Lingxi nodded, "You don't think I would really let Dugu Cheng take a concubine and have children, do you"

"But this is also a difficult matter. After the marriage, one can't possibly avoid consummation, can they"

What if there really was a child born to the prince What would we do then

"Don't worry, I have everything under control. No one can take what's mine."

She will naturally handle this matter well since she can agree to this marriage.

Wind Ling Xi returned to the county office. Dugu City was back and had heard that Wind Ling Xi went to Luofu. He wanted to talk to her about taking a concubine, but Wind Ling Xi told him everything first. Hearing Xi'er agree, Dugu City felt gloomy in his heart.

"Xier, you really agreed to this marriage"

"Why refuse Money that's handed to you, why wouldn't you take it"

Wind Lingxi looked at Dugu City's furrowed brows, "Without Luo Zhe, there are other people. You should understand this."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "Is it necessary to take such a risk to keep people here"

Of course it's necessary. This Luozhe has been lurking here for so long and you didn't notice anything amiss. Now that the imperial decree for marriage has arrived, we just came back and the situation is already decided. If we resist, we'll appear passive. It's better to take advantage of the situation, marry her in, and turn the tables on her instead.

Feng Lingxi's idea was good, but Dugu Cheng was unwilling to take a concubine. In his lifetime, many women wanted to be his concubine, and none of them ended well. These girls were all good, they just shouldn't have chosen the fate of marrying him.

"If you're reluctant to part with this beautiful concubine, I'll make things right for you if you truly fall for her in the future."

Feng Lingxi's words had barely fallen when Dugu City's face darkened.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!'t need this, you take it back." Feng Lingxi returned the waist card to Lu Hao, "No matter what, thank you."They were willing to help Tao Su, and she was very grateful. At least this trip wasn't a was...
