first time he had slept on the floor in her place."Xiao Li, it's getting late, go to sleep."Feng Lingxi saw Xiao Li guarding the door and dismissed her.Xiaoli exited the room and looked at Yexi who w...Feng Lingxi was frightened by Dugucheng's actions. Looking at the various gazes around her, she hurriedly said, "What are you doing Let me down."

"Once this king has brought you back and checked that you're unharmed, this king will be able to rest easy."

Dugu Cheng hugged her and left in front of everyone. He wanted the entire capital city to see how he, Dugu Cheng, doted on his woman. Let anyone who dared to bully his woman see this.

Du Guling's move quickly spread throughout the capital, and even reached the palace.

When Shu Fei learned that Feng Lingxi had been knocked down, she immediately sent someone back to the house to visit her. On the other hand, when the Empress learned that Feng Lingxi had broken the jade hairpin she had given to the Crown Princess, she immediately sent someone to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to inquire.

Feng Lingxi knew that the broken jade hairpin would definitely cause a lot of trouble, but she didn't expect that the Empress's people would come so quickly, even Princess Zhaoran arrived at the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the shortest amount of time.

"Sister, right now the whole capital is spreading rumors that you broke the jade hairpin that our mother bestowed upon me. Is this true"

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao Ran Junzhu's anxious face and explained, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing while having dinner at the wine house. I have let you down, Your Highness, and even broken your jade hairpin."

When the County Princess Zhao heard that her jade hairpin was broken, she was very agitated, but because of her status, she pretended to be concerned and said, "How could you be so careless This jade hairpin was bestowed upon this palace by the Empress Dowager. Although I gave it to you, it is still a gift from the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager asks about this, I'm afraid you will suffer."

Feng Lingxi looked at the anxiety in her eyes and hurriedly walked to her, bowing apologetically. "Your Highness, the matter of the jade hairpin was indeed my fault. However, I have already caught the person who bumped into me and shattered the jade hairpin. If the Empress Dowager inquires, just hand them over to her for disposal."

"Got them, how many"

Princess Zhaoran's eyes flickered slightly. Only hearing Feng Lingxi say, "There are four people in total. This servant heard that one of them is the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion. As for the other three, they are still unknown. We will know when His Royal Highness returns."

When the Princess Zhaoran heard this, she was not calm.

The jade hairpin was shattered. Feng Lingxi, who had originally planned to take the blame, never expected it to implicate the young master of the Shangshu Mansion. All those young masters he befriended were sons of prominent officials. If they were all dealt with, it would undoubtedly anger those high-ranking officials. Perhaps this time, Feng Lingxi would escape punishment once again.

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao Ran's glittering eyes and softly soothed, "This concubine has caused a great disaster this time, and I hope the Crown Princess can speak well for this concubine in front of the Empress. Otherwise, this concubine truly doesn't know what to do."

Princess Zhao'ran smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will speak for you in front of Mother. However, Mother loves this jade hairpin very much. I just don't know if my pleas will be successful."

Having said that, Princess Zhaoran's eyes showed a worried look, making Feng Lingxi feel that she had done her best but didn't know the effect.

"This servant girl thanks the Crown Princess..."

"The Crown Princess has arrived."

Dugu Cheng walked in, hearing their conversation. He went to his own position and sat down, glancing at Feng Ling Xi. Seeing her frail appearance, he really wasn't used to it.

The little tiger who had been arrogant and domineering before him was now appearing in front of Princess Zhaoran in this meek kitten-like appearance. If he hadn't known her these past few days, he would have thought it was real.

"Brother Cheng..."

When Princess Zhao saw Dugu City return, she excitedly called out, but was silenced by Dugu City's cold eyes. Knowing he disliked her current title, she could only swallow her words and call out, "Fourth Prince."

Du Gu Cheng beckoned to Feng Ling Xi in the wind, Feng Ling Xi didn't want to go over, but seeing that Princess Zhao Ran was present, she had no choice but to bear it, got up and walked to Du Gu Cheng's side, bowed respectfully, "Your Highness."

"Does it still hurt"

Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant at first. She didn't hurt anywhere.

"Your Majesty, I only learned about this while visiting the prison. These several unruly fellows actually knocked you against the wall, injuring your head! And yet, you didn't tell me!"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, forgive me. I only felt a minor injury..."

"What kind of minor injury You hit with such a loud bang, even Xiao Li said you have a bump on your head. You say it's just a small injury Don't you worry that if you crack your skull open, no one will want you later"

When Feng Lingxi heard his exaggerated words, it seemed like he was helping her.

"My lord, my concubine just doesn't want to make a big fuss out of this. After all, those men are the sons of important officials in the court..."

"So what Is it right for my queen to be run into like that"

Dugu Cheng was very angry. Zhaoran County Princess watched him like this and whispered beside him, "Fourth Prince, look, now your sister-in-law is fine"

Princess Zhao Ran trembled at his roar.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. This concubine will be more careful in the future. It's just that the jade hairpin bestowed by the Empress to the Crown Princess was broken, and this concubine failed to protect it well. This concubine is guilty."

Feng Ling quickly apologized to Du Gu Cheng, bending over she heard him whisper, "Pretend to be unconscious."

Feng Ling Xi heard his words, raised her head, and suddenly her body softened, falling down. Dugu Cheng quickly caught her, shouting hoarsely, “Come on, get the imperial physician!”

Zhaoran County Princess watched Feng Ling Xi fainted, she was also frightened, and winked at the maid beside her. Then she shouted with Dugu City, "Quickly go to the palace and invite the imperial physician."

Feng Ling fainted, the entire Fourth Prince's Mansion was in chaos. It was Du Gucheng's roar that filled the air, casting a chilling aura over the entire mansion.

Seeing this, Princess Zhaoran, accompanied by her maidservant, followed to see the commotion.

When the Empress's people arrived at the Fourth Prince's Residence, they heard about the Fourth Princess's fainting spell and were terrified by the roar of the Fourth Prince. They nearly forgot their purpose altogether.

Who in this capital city doesn't know the temper of the Fourth Prince Now that he is furious about this matter, the consequences are unimaginable.trayal of Pi Shuang really chilled her to the bone. She had saved her so much, and in the end, she still betrayed her."Xiao Li, send more people. I need to find out where the arsenic is. Since she sav...
