s flooded in, Feng Lingxi couldn't bear the weight and fainted."Xi'er."Dugu Cheng carried Feng Ling Xi from the water onto the shore and placed her on the grass, giving her artificial respiration. Ye...The noble lady of Zhao County saw Feng Lingxi and angrily flung her hand away, crying out, "You don't need to pretend to be a good person here. This county lady will do whatever she wants, what business is it of yours"

Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "Princess, I'm not here to stop you. I just want to tell you that the water in this pond is not very clean. The maids usually pour my footbath water into the pond. If you want to jump into the pond, you should first find out if the water quality is clean before jumping."

"You're talking about foot bath water"

The expression on Princess Zhaoran's face changed abruptly, her stomach churning violently as if she were about to vomit.

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over the maids and servants around her, feigning anger and saying, "You really are something. How could you pour the footwashing water into the pond Don't you know that the county princess might want to swim in it"

The maidservants were speechless after being asked by the princess. When did this pond ever become a place to wash their feet

But if the princess says there is, then there is.

"Your Highness, that day I saw the big yellow dog in our courtyard pooping by the pond."

"Ugh..."

Princess Zhaoran heard the sound of feces and couldn't control her vomit any longer. Feng Lingxi immediately stepped forward to comfort her, patting her back and saying, "Your Highness, is it worth going to such a dirty pond for the King"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi like this, the corners of his lips slightly raised. He always felt that no matter what she said, it was pleasing to him, and even, he enjoyed this feeling now, being protected by her.

"Fenglingxi, you disgusting woman, ugh..."

"The county princess is right. It's really revolting to have these things in the pond and then have the county princess splash water. I'll have the pond water changed immediately so that next time the county princess jumps in, the water quality won't be dirty."

When Princess Zhao realized that she had been drinking water mixed with wash water and feces, she felt sick to her stomach.

"What are you still doing Drain this pond now and give the County Princess fresh water."

"Feng Ling Xi, be quiet for the sake of this princess..."

Before Princess Zhao Ran could finish her words, she saw a large yellow dog by the pond, vomiting even more violently.

"Kill that dog for me."

Feng Ling quickly said, "My lady, please calm down. This dog is the most beloved of His Royal Highness. If you were to kill it, you should at least ask His Royal Highness first."

"Wind and Rain!"

Princess Zhaoran was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath, looking at her innocent eyes, she almost fainted.

"What are you still doing Help the County Lord up. If anyone sees this, they'll think the Fourth Prince's Manor is bullying the County Lord."

Feng Lingxi spoke, and everyone hurriedly helped Princess Zhaoran to the side.

"Xiao Li quickly prepare hot water for the princess to wash, don't catch a cold."

Everyone worked together to help Princess Zhaoran into her room to bathe and change. Feng Lingxi even asked the servants to drain the pond water and replace it with clean water.

"Xi'er, why do you say such things Look at how disgusting Princess Zhaoran is."

Dugu Cheng had a smile in his eyes, watching Feng Lingxi handle this matter for him. He was truly happy inside, feeling protected by her, and it felt really good.

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "Your Highness has done something good, yet it's blamed on me. I merely feel sorry for Princess Zhao, who is devoted to Your Highness and even jumped into the pond for you."

"The pond can't drown her, she knows how to swim."

Dugu Cheng narrowed his peach blossom eyes, looking at Feng Lingxi's displeased gaze with a smile. "Xier has the king in her heart, otherwise how could she say such things to Zhao Ran County Lord and make her disgusted"

"Your Highness is overthinking it. I'm just stating the facts. As you saw earlier, Dahuang was indeed defecating and urinating by the pond."

"What about the water used for washing feet"

Dugu Cheng didn't want to miss this opportunity. Feng Lingxi withdrew her gaze and reminded him, "Your Highness, you should still think about how to appease Princess Zhao Ran, so she won't cry and complain when she goes back. Don't blame me then, I'm very busy and don't have time to deal with your romantic entanglements."

"Your Majesty and Princess Zhaoran are truly not as you think. It's her business to like Your Majesty, you can't blame it on me."

Feng Lingxi looked at him earnestly explaining, "Then why would the Prince still be suspicious of my relationship with the Crown Prince"

Dugu Cheng was speechless. Watching her leave with a cold stare, he finally understood why she said that. It turned out she was eating this kind of vinegar.

"Xier, this king didn't think too much. This king..."

"My Lord, Lady Zhao Ran has been crying and refuses to bathe. Perhaps you should go have a look."

A maidservant rushed in to report. Upon hearing this, Dugu Cheng became even angrier. "If she wants to cry, let her cry. Bring me word to the Prince of Yu to come and fetch her."

"My Lord, this is not appropriate. If Your Highness Prince Rong sees that Miss Zhao for you seeks life and death, then when His Majesty grants permission for a marriage between you two, My Lord will be in trouble."

Ye Xi reminded, the princess' temper is all set, he dares to say, as long as the prince lets Princess Zhaoran enter the mansion, the princess will definitely divorce the prince.

Let's go take a look.

Ye Xi hurriedly followed, looking at the king's gloomy handsome face, becoming even more worried about Zhao Ran County Lord. With the king's temper, if she angered him, she would surely have no good end.

Feng Lingxi returned to the room and saw Xiaoli run in, "Your Highness, Princess Zhaoran refused to bathe and is searching for death in her room."

"To seek death or life Do you still want to die"

Xiao Li nodded, looking at the sinking face of the princess. She said softly, "Why don't you let the King deal with her This Princess Zhao Ran is the jewel in Prince Yu's palm. The slave girl thinks that the princess should best not intervene, lest all the blame be pushed onto the princess later."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Do you think she won't cause me trouble if I don't go"

This is clearly aimed at her, just wanting to make a scene and let everyone know that Princess Zhaoran came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and was bullied by Feng Lingxi.

"Let's go take a look."

Feng Lingxi walked to the door, then suddenly thought of something and ordered, "Go prepare a thick rope, a sharp dagger, and a dose of arsenic. Bring them all."

Little Li heard the princess's words, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly asked, "Princess, what are you going to do You wouldn't be wanting to commit suicide, would you"

Feng Ling Xi heard Xiao Li's words, her brows furrowed slightly, "What crime have I committed"

To apologize with death, she was the one who came up with it.

Upon hearing that the culprit would not be offering a death apology, Xiaoli immediately ordered someone to prepare for it.

Feng Lingxi brought Xiao Li to Princess Zhaoran's room. Hearing the cries of agony coming from inside, Feng Lingxi frowned. Just as she was about to enter, a roar erupted from within, causing her to freeze in her tracks. She turned and looked at Xiao Li with a furrowed brow.

"Is the Lord inside"

Xiaoli was also surprised, looking at the queen's expression, she hurriedly spoke for the king, "Queen, why don't we clarify the situation first"

Feng Lingxi stood at the door, listening to the voice of Dugu City inside, "If you're crying, this king will throw you out."us, so we'll be fine. Besides, Yaozhi wants this holy maiden dead even more than we do." Yaochu's words were met with agreement from the elders behind him, and the group hurried after him.The stone h...
