ple sent by Dugu Yu, she looked puzzled. Why were they being chased Was it because of Dugu City, or was it the pursuit of the Yao ClanBut in a short while, Feng Lingxi heard the sound of horse hooves...Dugu City couldn't help but laugh and cry, wasn't this her asking herself

Can't you just answer honestly

"Xi'er, this king can't even serve you well, what use are so many women for"

The survival instinct overflowing, Dugu City made Feng Lingxi's smile widen, contentedly embracing his neck, mischievously tapping his nose, "Really"

Dugu City gently pecked her lips, "Look into this king's eyes, are they real"

"Slick and smooth."

Feng Ling's smile on her face became even happier. Regardless of anything else, with his words, she was truly satisfied. Perhaps all women hope that their men can love them so much. Only with such a man would they feel happy.

"Xier, don't think about it too much. This king knows very well that having too many women around isn't a good thing. Feeding so many women every day is harmful to both body and kidneys. This king has no interest in that."

Wind Ling Xi giggled, "You've learned to tease now, but it's true. Look at this Dugu Yan, how obvious his kidney deficiency is."

"Is he really suffering from kidney deficiency"

Feng Lingxi nodded, raising an eyebrow smugly. "These eyes can tell, you think my medical skills are fake"

"Dugu Cheng thought of that strange fragrance, “Xi'er, could the strange fragrance Su Wang mentioned be the culprit behind Dugu Yan favoring those three showgirls”

"This is certain, such a peculiar fragrance is uncommon here. If I'm not mistaken, this fragrance originates from the Western Regions. As for its effects, you needn't have me explain, right"

"Western Regions"

Wind Ling Xi nodded, watching Dugu Cheng's serious expression as he pondered. "Could it be him"

"I don't know who is behind this, but the blame is now pointing at him. If it was truly Du Gu Xiu who did this, what did Du Gu Yan say to him when she summoned him We have no idea."

This Dugu Xiu just came back, he shouldn't be this bold, but it's not impossible that it's him. The exotic fragrance from the Western Regions, besides him, there seems to be no one else.

But it's obvious that Dugu Xiu went hunting, which means Dugu Yan was drugged and he wasn't around. If we really want to know who lit the incense, only Li Gonggong would know.

"King Su seemed quite interested in this matter."

"It is not impossible that he is concealing something."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, “You said he was suspicious, didn’t you Who can guarantee this has nothing to do with him Although it's incense from the Western Regions, what if he had someone buy it and design a plan, burning incense just as Dugu Xiu returned this time It wouldn't be impossible for him to frame Dugu Xiu.”

"Xi'er is right, it seems necessary to figure out if King Su's leg is truly inconvenient for movement."

Feng Lingxi looked into Dugu Cheng's worried eyes, "You don't need to worry too much now. In my opinion, we could take a few days to rest. Now that Dugu Xiu is back, he's the one attracting attention. He brought back three women today. This will certainly displease the civil and military officials in court, coupled with the Emperor's affairs, the harem will surely be in turmoil. We should just rest assured for a few days and wait and see."

"Very well, these few days, Xier should rest more at the manor. This king is afraid he has to go out for a walk."

Feng Lingxi knew why he said to "go for a walk." Dugu Xiu was in the capital now, and he would definitely be sent out on errands. It's common for him to be busy.

As Feng Lingxi said, the emperor brought three palace ladies into the palace. They only served as court ladies for three days before they died in the harem. As for the reason, it was disrespecting Empress Lan Fei and, taking advantage of their favor, plotting to harm the dragon heir.

Groundless charges were piled upon them, and as long as they wished, they could come up with any crime imaginable. They were destined for the death penalty.

The deaths of the three Zhaoyi quieted the rest of the court ladies in the palace. After all, they were all daughters of ministers, they still had some status. No matter how much Mo Huilan and Yu Yexi tried, they would still be cautious. As for these three Zhaoyi, they were just some insignificant misses, so how could they escape their arrangement

In just a few days, all three imperial concubines died. Although Dugu Yan was furious, she was bedridden due to illness, and with the Empress and Lan Fei being pregnant, the matter was dropped.

As for Empress Cen, she was very displeased with this matter. She punished Mo Huilan and Feng Yuxi by confining them to their chambers for half a month, and also selected ten beautiful women to serve the emperor in the palace. What was puzzling was that Du Guyan seemed to be a different person, as if someone had switched her out. She indulged in revelry every night, acting licentious and neglecting her duties. In just a few days, this caused widespread dissatisfaction among officials, with numerous impeachment petitions being submitted.

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi, although they knew about these things and found them strange, didn't dare to investigate. It must have been someone behind the scenes who was causing trouble, but since even the Empress Dowager was so protective, who would dare to speak up

Dugu Xiu could be said to accompany Dugu Yan in the palace every day, helping him share his worries and solve his difficulties. Dugu Yan also strangely treated him with extraordinary kindness, even allowing him to act as regent, entrusting all matters of state to Dugu Xiu's handling.

As a result, the civil and military officials of the dynasty all turned against each other and began to support Dugu Xiu. Coupled with Dugu Yan's daily neglect of government affairs and her only company being the imperial concubines, in just half a month, her body could no longer hold up.

"Your Majesty, come here."

Li Gonggong held the pills in the bottle and handed them to Dugu Yan. Looking at Dugu Yan, who was seriously ill, he still smiled and handed her the medicine.

"Grand Chamberlain Li, you say that my body is becoming more and more exhausted. Didn't that divine physician say that after taking these medicines, I would recover"

Du Gu Yan looked at the medicine, but did not take it in time.

"Your Majesty, have you been incredibly happy these days The divine physician said that after taking the medicine, you would forget your worries and all the women in the world would submit to you."

獨孤雁 swallowed the pill, and Li Gonggong gave him water after, then brought him some ginseng soup.

獨孤雁 drank the soup, Li Gonggong went to burn incense, and nodded to the beauty beside him. The music and dancing began, and the scene in the hall was unbearable to look at.

"The Emperor has passed away!"

The next day

News spread both inside and outside the palace. Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng learned of this, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Xier, when I enter the palace, don't wander around the house."

Feng Lingxi responded, and this Dugu Yan just died like that, which truly shocked her. However, hearing his recent actions, it seemed not difficult to guess.

Feng Lingxi went to find Shu Taifei, and saw her reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. She didn't want to disturb her, so she retreated.

"Your Majesty, how could the Emperor pass away so suddenly"

Who knows the affairs of the deep palace, and who knows the truth

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt that Dugu Yan was quite pitiful. Why had he been living such a dazed and confused life these days

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that Du Guxiu returned, the Empress Dowager let him govern in his place, and arranged for so many beauties around Du Guyan. Living such a life day and night would eventually lead to his demise. Coupled with the previous mention of the strange fragrance, it's not hard to deduce how Du Guyan died.

"Throughout history, emperors have always been the most ruthless. But before he became emperor, he was actually quite kind." When the former Empress was still innocent and naive, the Emperor truly cared for her.ing Lu Nian vegetables, and thinking about what Mrs. Lu had said, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "How old are you this year"Lu Nian's words died in her throat. She narrowed her eyes at Feng Lin...
