re it out."This servant is foolish and cannot think of anything."Feng Lingxi smiled, "I don't know either. Whoever it is, they will eventually reveal their identity. Let's just watch and be more caref..."Princess, you cannot go in."
Su Yue spoke up to stop him, glancing inside. "You're still a child, the blood here is too heavy..."
"Enough with the chatter, I'm not going in. Are you going to go in for me"
Wǎn'er retorted unhappily, Sùyuè saw the displeasure in her eyes and bowed to her, "This subordinate will go inside to check the situation for the County Lord. Please wait a moment, County Lord."
Ye Xi hurriedly thanked her, Su Yue glanced at Wan'er and went inside.
"Ye Xi, I've been so good to you, can you tell me why you're crying so loudly"
Wan'er's voice was soft, her little face full of curiosity. Seeing Ye Xi stunned, she said to herself, "I heard them say that father found a beautiful woman and is going to marry her as a concubine. Is that true"
"My lady, actually…"
Ye Xi's words reached his lips but he swallowed them back. He couldn't ruin the prince's plan; the prince had gone to such lengths, if he spoke the truth, the prince's whole plan would be ruined.
After much deliberation, Ye Xi nodded, only to hear Wan'er let out a hum.
"Bad Daddy."
Wǎn'er scolded, but her eyes were red, standing there, so wronged that she was about to cry.
Yexi hurriedly soothed her, "My Lady, this subordinate hasn't figured out what happened yet. The King truly has changed a lot. My Lady, you are still young, it's best not to ask about adult matters."
"I don't want daddy anymore!"
Waner shouted at Yexi, "Tell him, if he dares to marry that woman, I won't be with him anymore."
Feng Lingxi, hearing Wan'er's loud shout from within the room, was pulled back from her grief. Seeing Su Yue inside, she spoke, "Take the county mistress away, and don't let her wander around. Once I deal with this here, I'll go see her."
Su Yue glanced at Xiao Li on the couch, "Holy Lord, how is her condition This subordinate needs to report back to the Patriarch, after all, Xiao Li is a member of the Yao clan, and someone the Patriarch wants to cultivate."
"Minor cuts, need rest."
Wind Lingxi looked at Su Yue, "Is Luo Li in Xixi County"
Su Yue shook her head. "The chieftain has left Linxi County on business and will be back in a few days."
Feng Ling Xi waved her hand, signaling her to retreat. She applied medicine to Xiao Li, letting her lie down, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, her own eyes becoming moist again.
Su Yue came out, Ye Xi hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong with Xiao Li, she..."
"Her flesh is torn open, the Lord has given her medicine, and now she is unconscious. You should leave, do not disturb her rest."
Yè Xī hearing these words, tears welled up in her eyes again and she couldn't hold them back.
If you truly care about her, stay away from her.
Su Yue's words made Ye Xi's heart ache even more. He stood up, walked out of the yard weakly, leaned against the wall, and silently endured this pain.
Xiao Li, I'm sorry!
"This time, it is this king who owes you an apology."
Du Gucheng's voice rang out, Ye Xi raised her head to look at the King standing before her, looking at the same bloodshot eyes, Ye Xi choked and asked, "Your Majesty, is it really worth it"
Dugu City patted his shoulder, "Your Majesty is going out, would you like to come along"
He glanced at the courtyard where Feng Lingxi was, “These two days Xi'er will take care of Xiao Li and won't go to the West Courtyard to find this king. Take advantage of this time, this king has to deal with the current matters.”
"Let's go." Ye Xi collected his emotions. This was the king's choice, and he had followed the king for so many years. His life belonged to the king, and he had to obey the king's orders.
Feng Lingxi guarded Xiao Li's bedside all night. By the evening, Xiao Li had developed a high fever. Feng Lingxi took care of her all night until her fever subsided before leaving. That night, both Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li endured a tormenting experience. One spent the night worrying and watching over her, while the other bore the agonizing pain. Each shouldered their burden alone.
The morning sunlight was pleasant, illuminating the room. The heavy rain last night had washed away the bloodstains left on the road yesterday, and the air in the courtyard felt fresh. However, Feng Lingxi's mood remained unchanged.
"Mother."
A small figure walked into the room, followed by Someone who carried dishes in their hands.
"Wan'er, how did you come here"
Feng Lingxi, hearing the sound, had fallen to the ground and closed her eyes tighter. After a while, she got up, her legs were numb, and she almost fell. Fortunately, Su Yue supported her.
"Mother, are you hungry I'll have Su Yue bring you some food."
"Holy Lord, please eat something. No one has come since Ye Xi left yesterday. As the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan, you should take care of your own body and not fall."
Su Yue's words made Feng Ling Xi's heart sink a few more points. What was she expecting
Dugu City
Is he probably stuck in the soft nest of Xiyuan now
She was truly ridiculous. Back then, she had repeatedly said that if Dugu City betrayed her, she would leave him. But now, deep down, she longed for him to come back and explain everything. She even wished she could wake up from this nightmare.
"I'll eat it."
Feng Lingxi looked at Su Yue, "These days thank you for taking care of Wan'er."
"These are all the duties of my subordinates. Holy Lord, take care of your body and don't hurt yourself for others."
Feng Lingxi responded and washed up briefly before sitting down to eat.
"Ahem..."
Xiao Li coughed twice, Feng Ling Xi dropped her bowl and chopsticks, and hurried over to grab Xiao Li's hand to feel her pulse. Looking at Xiao Li's open eyes, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face, "Xiao Li, you're awake."
"Your Highness."
Little Li weakly called out, looking at the Queen's weary face, those red and swollen eyes, her trembling hand gently stroking her cheek, tears uncontrollably streaming down. Yesterday's grievances and anger were transformed into tears flowing out.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Wind Ling Xi let go of her hand, couldn't help but let out a breath of relief, "Take good care of your injuries. When you're better, you're still my dearest Li."
Xiao Li nodded with tears in her eyes, watching the Queen so nervous about herself. Thinking of what she had seen the King do yesterday, she felt sorry for the Queen.
"Little Li, you have to get better soon. When you're well, we'll take care of that bad woman together."
Xiao Li's words made Feng Ling Xi's body tremble, and she turned to look at her, "Wan'er, who told you"
"Lord, in this very courtyard, there isn't a wall that doesn't leak wind. Yesterday's events, let alone being known by the entire Chen Wangfu, have already spread throughout Linxi County. Now everyone says you bear grudges out of love and cannot tolerate the concubine brought back by Chen Wang. They say you are small-minded and unworthy of being a princess."
Su Yue was truly not polite. She summarized what she had heard to Feng Lingxi, fearing that she would be infatuated with Du Gucheng and waste her feelings in vain.
"They're talking nonsense..."
Xiao Li’s excited rebuttal, however, caused her to pull at the wound because she was using too much force. The pain sent a wave of cold sweat across her body, and her face instantly paled, losing all its color.
“Little Li, there’s no need to be angry about this. Let them say what they want; we can't stop them. Whether it's out of love and hate or jealousy, I was deeply hurt by Du Gu Cheng's actions yesterday. Although I, Feng Ling Xi, am a woman, I will never share a husband with another.”r master said that there is a distinction between master and servant. Serving one's mistress well is the only way to avoid being dismissed, if even this cannot be done, what use is she"Feng Lingxi loo...
