d said coldly, "Mother Consort, if you think I am an unqualified daughter-in-law, why don't you let the Emperor judge And by the way, divorce me. The Emperor bestowed marriage was to have me marry int..."Feng Ling Xi, you are too arrogant! You dare to take away people from the Empress How bold of you..."
The Noble Consort rebuked loudly, but Feng Ling Xi had already walked far away. This time, she was truly angry.
"Ye Xi, you must bring back the city for this empress immediately. Feng Ling Xi is rebelling, daring to touch even those belonging to this empress."
Ye Xi looked at Shu Taifei and bowed towards her, "I'm sorry, I can't do it."
Xiao Li did nothing wrong, so she was beaten like this. If it wasn't for the princess, Xiao Li wouldn't even know if she could survive. Although he is just a guard, he is not without feelings.
"You, you are outrageous!"
"Ye Xi, why are you standing there Come back quickly."
Feng Lingxi coldly ordered, Ye Xi hurriedly caught up with Feng Lingxi's footsteps, lifted Xiao Li from Feng Lingxi's arms, and followed Feng Lingxi's steps.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."
Feng Lingxi, with a cold face and silence, waited for Ye Xi to put Xiao Li on the bed. Then, Feng Lingxi asked Ye Xi to fetch water and started cleaning Xiao Li's wounds and applying medicine. Meanwhile, the two beauties brought back were being beaten in Feng Lingxi's courtyard. The heart-wrenching screams made one shudder just listening to them.
After Feng Lingxi left, Shutai rushed to her courtyard but was stopped and not allowed in. She could only listen to the screams from inside and loudly scold Feng Lingxi, spewing out all sorts of insults.
Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's bruised and bloody buttocks. As Xiaoli cleaned her wounds, she bit her lip and endured the pain, her voice barely a whisper. This sight made Feng Lingxi's eyes well up with tears, so she quickly applied medicine to her wounds.
"Bear with it, it'll take a few days to get better."
"Your Highness, I am useless and have implicated you."
Xiaoli's lips were pale, and large beads of sweat dripped down her forehead, clearly showing how much pain she was in.
Wan'er heard the sound and came over. Seeing Xiaoli injured, she climbed onto the bed and comforted Xiaoli. Looking at her mother's angry face, Wan'er remained silent.
"Next time, don't let anyone hit you. You are mine. Even if you make a thousand mistakes, only I can hit you. Understand"
Feng Lingxi's eyes reddened, tears swirling in her eye sockets. Xiao Li had followed her for so many years, yet this was the first time she had been subjected to such a severe punishment. This Shun Taifei was truly going too far this time.
To strike with such force, do you truly intend to kill Xiaoli
Xiao Li squeezed out a smile, "Your Highness, I've remembered."
"You're still laughing, you're not hurt"
Xiaoli held on, turning her head to look at Wan'er who was holding her hand. Wan'er looked at her, tears swirling in her eyes, her face pale with fear.
"Wan'er, when I'm better, I'll play with you again."
Waner nodded, pulled the blanket up for her, and looked at her mother, "Waner wants to stay with Little Li."
"Then you stay here with Xiao Li, Mother will go out to handle something."
Feng Lingxi stood up, Xiao Li grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with pleading.
"Your Highness, please don't make a fuss over me."
Feng Ling xi patted her on the back and walked out, not forgetting to close the door.
Ye Xi stood at the door and, seeing Feng Ling Xi come out, hurried to ask, "Your Highness, how is Xiao Li's injury"
"He still has breath."
Night Xi's face suddenly changed color, and she looked inside the room, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Spare my life, Your Highness. Spare my life."
Feng Lingxi came out, the two beaten beauties frantically beckoned to Feng Lingxi and cried out.
"How many have you bought"
"Reporting to the Princess, twenty large boards."
Feng Lingxi walked before them, looking at their already disheveled hair, pale faces, and bloodstains at the corners of their mouths. Now, looking at them, they were indeed a sorry sight.
"After the 20th National Congress, this man was full of energy, his voice booming. I see you haven't had dinner yet"
Feng Lingxi's cold gaze swept over the executioner, causing his face to change dramatically. He immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I only..."
The stopped-up Shu Taifei shouted for a long while, watching Feng Lingxi come out, and shouted loudly, "Feng Lingxi, if you have the ability, let this palace in."
Shu Taifei was skilled in martial arts, but now that she has amnesia, she hasn't displayed any of it. It's unknown if she's forgotten or something else entirely. She only knows how to shout from afar.
"Let Lady Shu be brought in."
Feng Lingxi spoke, looking at the fourteen and fifteen beside her, "Go get a chair for Taifei Shu, let her sit down and watch properly."
Fourteen and Fifteen quickly brought over chairs, but they brought two. After Wind Ling Xi sat down, she looked at the onlookers without any intention of showing restraint in her gaze.
"Fourteen and fifteen, these two haven't eaten, not knowing their place. You come here."
"As you command."
As soon as Shu Taifei was brought in, she saw the 14th and 15th princesses step forward, wielding boards to beat down on the two court ladies she had chosen. She hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded them, "Stop at once!"
"Help the Imperial Noble Consort Shu to take her seat."
Yingliu and Yingba stepped forward, pinning Shutai down into her place. She struggled to get up but was pressed back down, forced to stare at Feng Lingxi with fury etched all over her face.
"You dare to treat me like this, you…"
“I’ve already been so tolerant, and besides, Empress Dowager Shu didn't say it herself I'm not your daughter-in-law. Since that's the case, Empress Dowager Shu, please be clear about this: I am not your daughter-in-law. Out of respect for you as the mother of Du Gucheng, I’ll give you a seat so you can watch clearly what happens to those who lay hands on my maidservant.”
"You..."
Shutai was angered by her words. She didn't even demand that she acknowledge her identity, but wanted to harm the concubine she had chosen.
“You’re taking revenge on me, wanting to kill the concubine I chose for Cheng'er. You think this will make Cheng'er like you A woman with a heart as venomous as yours... Cheng'er might accept you, but I, his mother, could never accept you as my daughter-in-law.”
"No matter what you say, Shu Taifei just needs to be clear: I'm hitting them because they touched my people. As for how many women you choose to give to Dugu City, if he's willing, that's his business."
Feng Lingxi looked at fourteen and fifteen, "Continue, how they beat Xiaoli, I'll give them ten times back."
When Fourteen and Fifteen received the order, they acted decisively. With a single strike, they caused both beauties to suffer severe injuries, their screams of agony far surpassing those before. Just hearing them was enough to make one wince in pain.
Shutai was in a panic. This was the concubine she had chosen, and Feng Lingxi didn't even care about her face at all. She was the Shutai of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Now that Empress Cen was gone, she was the only Taifei left by the late emperor.
"Feng Lingxi, are you trying to go against the Great Yuan Dynasty"
"Whatever you say, these two have to pay for what they did today."
After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she fought even more ferociously. A shrill scream echoed in the courtyard. Inside the courtyard, besides Shu Taifei's screams, no one dared to utter a sound. Since Feng Lingxi came to Linxi County so many years ago, all the soldiers in the military camp and the people in the city had never seen Feng Lingxi so ruthless and cruel.
"Lord, they have breathed their last."
Feng Lingxi walked over and poked their noses, her expression cold, without a shred of remorse. She looked at Shu Taifei, "Really can't bear to be beaten, only thirty boards can't hold up It seems that fragile women are really not suitable to stay here."the mighty War God, the Fourth Prince, do He'd be sleeping on the floor! Where would he put his faceDugu Cheng walked to the bed, took off his clothes and lay beside Feng Lingxi. He watched Feng Lingx...
