Chapter 1368: War Clouds Rise

hat, being the Fourth Princess Consort, there wasn't much objection from the soldiers about Feng Lingxi joining the expedition.The next morning, Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li and Pi Xiang onto the carriage..."Since you hate me so much, why don't you just kill me If you were to attack me, given my trust in you before, I wouldn't have even noticed."

Feng Lingxi slowly closed her eyes, trying hard to calm the emotions in her heart. Listening to Tian Xiaomimi's sobs, her heart ached even more.

"I…" Tian Xiaomǐ wept uncontrollably, her sobs shaking her whole body, unable to speak.

Feng Lingxi just stared at Tian Xiaomi like that, waiting for her to cry enough, before she said, "Xiaomi, I know you're in pain and heartbroken over losing your child, but you can't treat Wan'er this way. She's just a child. You can hate me, but please don't hurt her."

Tian Xiaomi crouched on the ground, crying even harder, her mouth constantly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. But at that time, I was so angry that I did such a thing. I really regret it now."

"Waner is Luoli's apprentice, he won't let anyone hurt Waner. After all, Waner is the future successor of the Yao clan. Don't be foolish anymore, next time, Luoli might not let you off."

Feng Lingxi reminded her that she didn't know if she should forgive Tian Xiaomi right now. She was in a complicated mood and never expected things to turn out like this. She trusted Tian Xiaomi so much, but she treated her daughter like this.

Tian Xiaomi raised her tear-filled eyes and looked at Feng Lingxi, "Then will you still let me stay I want to make amends for what I've done. I promise, I'll never make such a stupid mistake again."

"I…"

Feng Lingxi looked at Tian Xiaomi's pitiful eyes and thought about what had happened this time. She refused, "You move back to the Feng residence. From now on, if you need anything, just speak up. I can't keep you in the Prince's Manor."

"Do you still not believe me"

Tian Xiaomi's tears fell even harder. Seeing Feng Ling Xi, she turned away, closing her eyes. Tears streamed down her face, her heartbroken gaze filled with remorse.

"My Queen, I am truly sorry. I know I was wrong."

"Leave now, I won't tell Yi Xuan about this. I hope you can forget the pain of losing your child. Wan'er is my only daughter, and I can't let her pay attention to shadows."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Ling Xi's attitude towards her, she really wouldn't leave her.

Thank you.

As she listened to Tian Xiaomǐ's footsteps fade away, Feng Lingxi slowly opened her eyes and looked at Tian Xiaomǐ's back, sighing deeply. It seemed that no matter what world, once interests were hurt, human nature remained unchanged.

"Your Highness, Wan'er has already started class with the tutor."

Xiao Li returned, seeing that Tian Xiaomi was not there. A hint of melancholy crossed the princess's eyes, her gaze filled with concern.

"From now on, Xiaomi won't be living in the palace anymore. You have someone pack her things and send her back to Fengfu. Also, when Yixuan returns, tell him that Xiaomi is not used to living in the palace."

"Your Highness, forgive my impertinence, but something seems to have happened. Why was Madam Xiaomi sent back to the Feng Manor"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li and nodded, "Huang Xia Chao kidnapped Wan'er and her, causing her to miscarry. She took revenge on Wan'er. If it wasn't for Luo Li telling me and giving Wan'er the antidote in time, I wouldn't have known that Xiao Mi would do such a thing."

"Did she admit it"

Xiao Li was shocked. Seeing Feng Ling Xi nod, she was completely astonished.

“How could this be Looking at her innocent and kind demeanor, I never expected her to have such a cruel heart. Even if it was because of Wan'er’s child that she miscarried, it wasn't intentional on our part. How could she possibly harm a child like this The Princess even treated her as her own sister, how could she do this”

Here's the text translated into English, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

Xiao Li was furious. If she weren't the princess, she would still be that penniless village girl. Didn't she know what it meant to repay kindness

"But her child miscarriage was also because of Wan'er, this matter is indeed our fault, just consider it as compensation, luckily, Wan'er is fine."

"Your Highness, how can you be so merciful Don't you know she almost took the County Lord's life"

Xiaoli was furious and rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight with Xiaomi.

"It wasn't my mercy, but her child. Truly, I owe her that much."

This time, I'm just returning the favor. If there's a next time, she'll know not to treat Wan'er this way again.

"I really don't know what's going on lately. The steward betrayed the princess, and even Tian Xiaomi treated the princess like this. The prince even reused Feng Yixuan. I'm truly afraid that he might betray the princess someday too."

"No, Feng Yixuan is still sensible. My luck can't be this bad."

"It's not the queen's problem, it's their problem."

Xiao Li's anger wasn't unfounded. "If he helps Tian Xiaomi, then the Princess really will have raised nothing but white-eyed wolves."

Feng Lingxi naturally knew what Xiao Li was saying made sense, but now she couldn't possibly drive Feng Yixuan out just because of Tian Xiaomi, could she

"Your Majesty, do you think I talk too much"

Xiao Li lowered her head and explained to herself, "I'm just worried that the princess is thinking of them and has wronged herself and the county princess."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's aggrieved eyes and said softly, "Xiao Li, we'll talk about this later. Go find Lu Nian to come to the mansion for a visit, just say that I need to speak with him."

It's time for this household to have a change of blood. Land Nian hasn't contacted her these days. This time when she went to Tumu Town, Land Nian helped her a lot, and she owes him a favor.

Yi Pin Xiang, Lu Nian was lying on a chair, his head splitting with pain. How could he possibly tell his little sister that the princess would be arriving tomorrow

As soon as he thought of that headache-prone princess, Lu Nian's temples throbbed. He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in; after all, he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

"Young Master, Miss's maid Xiaoli has arrived."

Lu Nian heard Xiaoli and immediately stood up, hastily organizing her emotions. She quickly said, "Please ask her to come up."

Sister asked Xiaoli to come find him, could it be that there is something important to discuss

Xiao Li came up, seeing Lu Nian with his back to her, and stepped forward to greet him, "This servant greets Master Lu."

"Little Li, come sit down and talk."

Lu Nian's sudden enthusiasm startled Xiao Li. She hurriedly shook her head, "Master Lu, the Princess asked me to invite Master Lu to the manor for important business."

"What's up What happened"

Lu Nian's expression tightened, he had just returned, where did so many trivial matters come from.

"It should be something that happened in the Prince's Mansion recently. Young Master Lu, you might as well go take a look. The Princess hasn't been in a good mood lately."

"Feeling down" If my sister knew the princess was arriving tomorrow, wouldn't she feel even worse

The thought made Lu Nian furrow his brows even tighter. He couldn't let this happen, he had to find a way to stop the princess. He couldn't allow his sister to be troubled like this, otherwise, he'd be a terrible older brother.

Xiao Li nodded, looking at Lu Nian's expression, and urged, "Young Master Lu, why don't you go to the mansion first"

"You tell me first what happened here, it's making my skin crawl. Is my sister going to take me apart", "Princess, will these antidotes work""I can't guarantee that, but it definitely won't worsen their condition. This is just one of the herbs I know, and one of many medicinal ingredients I use in my...
