ome pick you up when I'm done.""When did I ever misbehave"Feng Lingxi couldn't help but laugh, "Listening to your tone, it seems like I've been very disobedient."Dugu City's eyes were on her, the worr...Outside the door, a figure stood at the entrance, listening to the two people inside sobbing uncontrollably. After hesitating for a while, they knocked on the door.

"Your Highness, it's me."

Tian Xiaomi's voice made Feng Ling Xi, who was crying, hurriedly wipe her tears and get up to look at Tian Xiaomi as she walked in. After a long time apart, Tian Xiaomi's body had almost recovered. Seeing Feng Ling Xi's red eyes, she walked up to her and bowed apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm just now coming to see you."

Feng Lingxi inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself down, and asked Tian Xiaomi, "Did you find me for something"

Tian Xiaomi nodded and glanced at Xiao Li on the couch, "May I speak to you for a moment"

Little Li nodded. Feng Lingxi and Tian Xiaomi came out and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. After a maidservant served tea, only the two of them were left.

"Your Majesty, I am here today to ask you, what happened between you and the King Why did he take a new wife and treat you this way"

"How is it being transmitted outside" Feng Lingxi looked up at Tian Xiaomi, "You tell me, I can hold on."

“They said you have a small mind, that yesterday you took your sword and killed the guards in your own mansion, wounding two others. They said you were raving like a madman in the west courtyard, behaving like a madwoman.” At first, Tian Xiaomi didn’t believe this was the Empress Feng she knew. But now seeing Feng Lingxi like this, she began to believe these words.

"Then they did not say why I killed yesterday"

Tian Xiaomi looked at her, "Because of the new favorite of King Chen."

Feng Lingxi sneered, "Do you think I would They detained Xiaoli, beat her thirty times with a board, and wouldn't let me in to save her." Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of coldness as she looked at Tian Xiaomi, "He Du Gucheng can marry wives and concubines, but he beats my Xiaoli and won't let me in to save her. Since he's so ruthless, what am I afraid of"

When Tian Xiaomi heard this, she was completely shaken.

"Did you really kill someone"

Feng Lingxi looked at Tian Xiaomi, a cold smile on her face. "Yes, are you afraid now"

Tian Xiaomi grabbed her hand, her eyes full of worry, "Do you know that if you do this, if Dugu City really comes looking for trouble, here, your actions would be punishable..."

"I will punish them myself, no need for anyone else to do it." Feng Lingxi interrupted Tian Xiaomi, "I will separate from him, but before that, I will make them pay for what they did to Xiaoli."

Tian Xiaomi was stunned, looking at Feng Lingxi's firm eyes, and hurriedly soothed, "Don't be foolish, if you really go to trouble Chen Wang, what will you do in the future Besides, if he refuses to agree to a divorce…"

He will.

Feng Lingxi's voice was full of confidence. Dugu City would be delighted for her to leave with him.

“If you were in our time, I could say you're a woman of the new era. But this isn't our time. You have to know that this is a patriarchal society. If you go your separate ways, have you thought about how you'll live afterward Also, do you really believe Du Gucheng is what you see him to be Couldn't there be some reason behind his actions, why he treats you like this”

Tian Xiaomi started to get anxious. She really didn't want Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng to separate. She truly wanted to repay Feng Lingxi. If it weren't for her, she might have died again. This also made her understand a lot and cherish this hard-won opportunity to survive even more.

"There's nothing much to say, I've already made up my mind."

Feng Lingxi's mood had calmed down considerably. Looking at Tian Xiaomi's worried eyes, she said calmly, "Live a good life for yourself in the future. If you want to go back, you also have the opportunity."

And what about you Have you ever thought about going back

Tian Xiaomi looked at her, "Take Wan'er back."

"Do you think I can take Wan'er away from here"

Feng Lingxi smiled wryly, looking at Tian Xiaomǐ's hesitant expression. He added, "Xiaomǐ, I never thought about going back, even now that I and Dugu Cheng have become like this, I haven't thought about it."

"Why"

Tian Xiaomi's eyes were full of confusion, "Isn't it better to go back"

"It's not like anyone can just go back, and besides, I wouldn't want to take Wan'er back with me. I have Xiao Li here, and some friends I know."

"But can you find someone to help you now" Tian Xiaomi looked at her. "Snap out of it, since this place isn't suitable for you, why don't you go back What meaning is there in staying here"

Tian Xiaomi's words were a bit agitated, and looking at Feng Lingxi like this, she came angry.

"I really don't understand you. Is it only for the status of the princess here But now that the Prince has another woman, you staying here will only lead to..."

"That's enough," Feng Lingxi interrupted Tian Xiaomi, her eyes gradually turning cold. "You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs. Live your own life well. Whether you choose to stay or leave, I won't interfere. I also hope you won't interfere with mine."

Perhaps because of a change in her mindset, Feng Lingxi felt a bit agitated when she heard Tian Xiaomi say these things. She didn't want to leave just because of this. She was already used to being here; here she had her own life, the people she cared about, and her friends. She wanted to stay here.

Tian Xiaomi was rejected by Feng Lingxi, her face not looking too good. She took a deep breath and said, “I know you’re still wary of me…”

"No, I just feel that your idea is different from mine, and I can't accept it."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Lingxi, smiled wryly to herself, and nodded.

"Just pretend I never came, take care!"

Seeing Tian Xiaomǐ's departing figure, Feng Lingxi stood up and walked towards the room. Xiao Li saw the Queen return and noticed that her face was not looking well. She inquired with concern, "Your Majesty, are you alright What did Madam Xiaomǐ say to you"

"It's fine, how are you feeling Are you still in pain"

"I don't feel that much pain anymore," Xiao Li shook her head.

Feng Lingxi glanced at the wound and whispered, "That's good, I'll apply medicine to you later and take good care of it."

Xiao Li nodded, looking at the queen's tired face, her face full of concern, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and rest for a while, I'm fine." Knowing that the queen had been guarding her and hadn't slept well, she felt ashamed as a maidservant.

Perhaps she did some good deeds in her past life to deserve such kindness from the Princess this lifetime.

Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Xiao Li's complexion improve. Her speech was no longer as difficult as before. The worst part had passed last night. The ointment she had applied contained pain-relieving properties; as long as she persisted with the treatment, it would feel much better.

"Well, take care of yourself and shout if you need anything."

Feng Lingxi got up and instructed someone to take care of Xiao Li before returning to rest. Dugu Cheng had been silent since yesterday, and she didn't know what had captivated him about Luo Qin Yi so much that he would even neglect his own daughter.

Or perhaps Dugu Cheng never wanted a daughter to begin with, but just hadn't revealed it.

"Your Highness, Miss Luo has arrived."

The newcomer, Chun Tao, came in to report. Like Xia He, she was named by the Chen Wangfu and remained in Feng Ling Xi's courtyard.Li WuYan’s tone was laced with a hint of helplessness. Feng LingXi had kindness towards him, and he should repay her with all his might.This matter involves many parties and requires careful considera...
