Chapter 851: Falling Frost Flower 41

coldly opened her mouth, the old matriarch signaled for everyone to back down, leaving only the two of them in the bedroom."Xier, could this poisoner be Liu MaMa"Feng Lingxi shook her head, "It wasn't...After Zhao departed, Xiaoli looked at the chicken soup on the table. The princess hadn't taken a sip, only blowing on it constantly, as if she didn't intend to drink it at all.

"Your Highness, is she the Frostfall Flower"

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, pushing the chicken soup in her hand to Xiao Li's face. "Drink this."

Xiaoli's face changed slightly, she looked at the Princess with confusion.

“It’s not poisonous, I just don’t want to drink it.”

Xiaoli's face flushed red, "Does the Princess think that this servant…"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, a hint of irritability in her eyes. "It's human nature, but after being with me for so long, you should at least learn something. You need to know what can and cannot be drunk. Learn to distinguish it so that when I'm not around in the future, you won't even realize you're poisoned."

Xiao Li hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness, don't you want me anymore If I did something wrong, I will change..."

Wind Ling Xi got up and helped Xiao Li stand. "It's not that you did badly, you did very well, but in the future you will eventually get married and become a wife..."

“I wouldn’t, I will serve the princess my whole life. As long as the princess doesn’t dislike me, I will be the princess’s person in life and the princess’s ghost in death.”

Feng Lingxi was amused by her earnest and sincere expression.

"You silly girl, if you don't get married in the future, your life will be incomplete. What's more, I hope you can find someone you like and have someone protect you."

"I refuse, I want to be the princess's maidservant."

Xiao Li resolutely said, "The mistress arranged for me to be by the princess's side. This life is destined to belong to the princess."

"What a silly girl! How long do you think you can stay like this If you don't want to get married, I wouldn't agree either."

Someone has to take care of Little Li.

When Xiaoli heard the princess's words, she felt even more abandoned by her. The princess's tone was as if she wanted to separate from her, which Xiaoli disliked very much.

Feng Lingxi, seeing Xiao Li's sad expression, changed the subject.

"Well, you're making it sound like I'm bullying you."

Xiao Li's eyes reddened. Hearing the princess say this, she felt even more wronged. "If Your Highness doesn't want me one day, then I can only die."

Feng Lingxi was startled by Xiaoli's words and quickly soothed her, explaining, "Xiaoli, I don't mean what you think. I just hope that you can be happy too."

As long as I'm by the princess's side, I'll be happy.

“Suit yourself.” Feng Lingxi shook her head. This stubborn girl, wait until later she will know that having someone accompany her is also happiness, just like now she and Dugu City are together. Although they are often apart, they are also happy.

When thinking of Dugu City, Feng Ling Xi's eyes softened. Xiao Li, seeing the Queen like this, couldn't help but relax.

Zhao took the box and personally delivered it to Feng Lingxi's face. Feng Lingxi opened the box, glanced at it, then closed it. Zhao saw this and secretly let out a breath of relief. It seemed that Feng Lingxi hadn't noticed anything unusual, so she wouldn't be discovered that she had opened the box.

"My lady, thank you for keeping this box safe these days. It's very important to me."

Zhao shi waved her hand, "Your Highness, Fourth Royal Consort is too kind. These are all blessings from this servant. I'm just curious, what's inside"

Feng Lingxi opened the box and looked inside. Her eyes were full of smiles, “This is a medicinal herb. As for its efficacy, it's lost after being opened, hence its preciousness.”

"Does it lose its efficacy once opened"

Zhao's expression was flustered, but she made a great effort to remain calm.

Feng Lingxi nodded, patiently explaining, "That's right, this medicine is magical, a rare and unique combination of herbs."

What does this medicine do

When Lady Zhao saw Feng Lingxi's expression, she became curious and asked what was wrong. Feng Lingxi's face changed color, and Lady Zhao noticed her displeasure. She quickly said, "I just casually inquired. If the Fourth Princess finds it inconvenient, then forget about it."

"Madam, if you have nothing else to attend to, please return. My Lady needs to rest." Xiaoli spoke, dismissing Zhao Shi on behalf of the Princess. This left her with her curiosity to slowly savor the taste of Luoshuang flowers.

Although Zhao's expression was somewhat grim, when she thought that Feng Lingxi would be leaving in two days, her heart felt much lighter.

"This servant will take her leave first."

Feng Lingxi yawned, seeming tired. After Zhao Shi left, Feng Lingxi instructed Xiao Li to put the box away and continued with her work.

Shou'an Palace

After Empress Shu entered the palace, Empress Cen originally thought that Feng Lingxi would take action, but unexpectedly, she hadn't come to see her in the palace until now. She had forgotten all about the rumors swirling outside while staying at the General's Mansion.

She just didn't know that Feng Lingxi truly hadn't paid any attention to the rumors outside. To her, it was none of her business how they talked about her. Their mouths were on their own faces; if they wanted to say whatever they liked, she wouldn't care. Anyway, no matter what the truth was, she was the one who held the final say.

Shu Taifei was well-served in the palace, and Cen Taihou was truly courteous to her. This made her feel for the first time that the intrigue within the palace, when she didn't participate, was quite entertaining.

For example, yesterday the Empress did everything in her power to get the Emperor to come to her Kunning Palace. Lan Fei used her pregnancy to force the Emperor to see her.

I thought the Emperor would stay overnight in her Zhaoyang Palace, but unexpectedly, after less than an hour, he left for the Fengyi Palace.

What was most interesting was that the Empress refused the Emperor and even advised him to go to Zhaoyang Palace. This kind of mind game, this hidden struggle, was truly entertaining to watch.

Today, things got even more interesting. The Empress Dowager forbade the Empress from leaving the palace, so this Shou'an Palace was bustling with activity.

When the Empress paid her respects at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Lanfei naturally followed. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but she unexpectedly brought up Feng Lingxi. The Empress, breaking with tradition, spoke highly of Feng Lingxi in a way that made it seem like they were close sisters.

While Mo Huilan, who had always gotten along well with Feng Lingxi before, was now saying nothing but bad things about her everywhere. This made Empress Cen frown and her face turned quite displeased. Empress Shu, on the other hand, wore an expression as if watching a play, not uttering a single word from beginning to end.

"Concubine Shu, is the fourth sister always well-behaved in the manor"

As the evening deepened and the rain started to fall, the conversation turned to Shutai. The empress dowager who had been watching the play lowered her gaze and looked at Cen Taifu. Their eyes met, each harboring their own thoughts.

"Xier's personality has always been straightforward, but she is indeed well-behaved. The Empress and Xier have a deep bond and naturally understand her character."

Mo Huilan felt a sudden wave of nausea upon hearing Shu Taifei's words. "Does Shu Taifei speak with no conscience now When could Feng Lingxi ever be described as well-behaved She has always done whatever she pleased, never considering the feelings of others. Otherwise, how would she have gained such a reputation"

What's her name

As the sun began to set, Feng Yu asked in a heavy voice, her gaze fixed on Mo Huai Lan's dismissive eyes. "Jade Clan Holy Master, that was passed down from her mother. Now she is the Fourth Princess of the Great Yuan Dynasty. If she wasn't obedient, with her temperament, those who bullied her would still be living so freely"surging, but inside the Yao clan, Feng Lingxi was leisurely and carefree."Well, have you heard anything from Fengling Xi"Feng Yixuan had already asked more than ten times, learning that after the Lant...
