Chapter 114: The Battle on the Bed (Part 78)

mpress smiled kindly. "Do you really think your mother doesn't know anything Young people, it's good to have ideas, but if you meet the right person, you shouldn't miss them. This child Cheng'er was...Little Li looked at the Princess, becoming even happier for her. The Fourth Prince was truly good to the Princess, she must have been touched.

Then I'll take these and go.

Feng Lingxi put the surgical knife away and left the iron shop.

"Xiao Li, let's go to the restaurant for some food."

Xiao Li hurriedly followed the princess's footsteps, watching her silent and unspeaking. She smiled and said, "The king is so good to the princess, so caring and considerate. Princess, are you moved"

Feng Lingxi glanced at her, "Touched by a little kindness When I married him, he feigned his death to play tricks on me. Why don't you say he was good then"

"That prince was once forced to act against his will."

Xiao Li whispered good things about the king, her heart already starting to waver.

"Then I married into the Prince's Mansion, he hid in my room, I was on edge every day, what did he do to me How did he play with me It seems you were really bought by him, you don't even know who your own maid is." Feng Lingxi rebuked, Xiao Li hurriedly chased after her footsteps, "Princess, the slave knows she was wrong, the slave will stand on the princess's side from now on, please don't be angry."

Feng Lingxi saw that she had admitted her mistake, and only then did he feel better.

She shouldn't be moved; it's just a little kindness, and she forgets his deception from the beginning. She can't guarantee that this time he is also using these small favors to move her, and when the time comes, her heart will sink, and what awaits her is his mockery.

If he hadn't deceived her at first, she might not have these defenses. But after all, Dugu City was the man who deceived her.

Entering the tavern, Feng Lingxi led Xiaoli toward the private rooms upstairs. Suddenly, a few people rushed down the stairs and bumped into Feng Lingxi. She was knocked over, her body unsteady, and she hit the wall beside her. The jade hairpin on her head snapped with a sound and fell to the ground, breaking.

"Queen…"

Feng Lingxi looked at the broken jade hairpin, a sense of foreboding swept over her heart. She hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but was kicked past by one foot, and the jade hairpin shattered.

"Stop!"

Feng Lingxi roared with anger, glared at the man trying to run away, and grabbed his arm. The man turned around, sizing her up with a nonchalant expression, a smirk playing on his lips as he tilted Feng Lingxi's chin up. "Well, well, little beauty, what do you want from this young master Do you perhaps want me to keep you company…"

Before he could finish his words, a crack echoed through the air. Feng Lingxi had snapped his arm with a sickening crunch. The young master let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, drawing the attention of every person in the inn.

"To knock someone down and crush my jade hairpin and just walk away"

"Isn't it just a jade hairpin This young master will pay you for it, just let go!"

Feng Lingxi released him, saying coldly, "Xiao Li, report to the authorities."

"Report to the authorities Who's afraid of whom Do you know who I am I am..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Li suddenly shouted in fury, "Presumptuous! To push down the Fourth Princess and trample upon the jade hairpin bestowed by the Empress, you dare to be so arrogant"

"Fourth Royal Concubine"

Hearing Xiaoli's words, the people in the wine house all looked at Feng Lingxi and whispered among themselves.

"So she is the fourth young lady of the General's Mansion."

"As expected of the number one beauty in the capital, she's truly beautiful."

The gossip in the wine house reached Feng Ling Xi's ears. Feng Ling Xi coldly swept her gaze over the crowd, "It wasn't just him who bumped into this princess just now, all of you who were involved, step forward. Don't make this princess have to fish you out."

Wind Ling, in a cold voice, spoke up. The murmurs among the crowd grew louder still.

"It was just a bump! Is there any need to be so intimidating"

"She's the Fourth Princess now, speak softly."

Hearing others speak ill of her, Feng Lingxi didn't mind at all. What she was worried about was that this jade hairpin would break. The Crown Princess knew, wouldn't she take this opportunity to act against her

She is now carefully planning every move, not allowing for any mistakes.

This restaurant is a place to eat and drink. These people ran down the stairs so fast that they didn't bump into anyone in front of them, but they bumped into her. This made her have to wonder if someone was behind this.

"Fourth Madam, this is the eldest son of the Minister's Residence. You see..."

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, hoping to prevent the situation from escalating.

"So you are the eldest son of the Ministry of Rites And"

Wind Ling cast a cold glance over the crowd, seeing no one step forward, his face was very gloomy.

Until the officials arrive, no one is allowed to leave this tavern. Otherwise, don't blame this Princess for being impolite.

Feng Lingxi coldly sneered, Xiao Li had already gone to report the case, so she just waited for the officers to arrive and arrest them.

The eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion looked at Feng Lingxi like this, covering his arm, "Fourth Royal Princess, I apologize and offer you compensation. Can you please not report it to the officials"

"Well, who are the other few people"

Feng Lingxi coldly scanned those around him, though there were quite a few people gathered near them, none dared to step forward.

"Fourth Princess, we are all innocent. You cannot leave us here. We have things to do, we need to go out."

Some in the crowd started to voice their displeasure, protesting against her treatment. Few were afraid of this Fourth Princess; everyone knew Feng Ling Xi was a foolish young lady from the General's Manor. Even after marrying into the Fourth Prince's Residence, she couldn't arbitrarily detain them. After all, those who came here to eat and drink were prominent figures in the capital city.

What could be more important than the King's own queen

A cold voice came, Feng Lingxi heard the voice of the visitor and turned to look at Dugu City who walked in. She was a little surprised, looking at Xiaoli who followed him, she understood, how did this girl bring him here, and so quickly.

"See the Four Kings."

When people in the tavern saw Dugu City arrive, they were all scared and immediately bowed down. The name of the God of War is not for nothing. Who in the capital city doesn't know about the title of the God of War held by the Fourth Prince Who would dare to disrespect him

Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's face, grabbed her arms, and looked at her nervously, "Xi'er, where are you hurt"

"It was just a bump, only the jade hairpin broke. This was given to me today by the Crown Princess, it was a gift from the Empress."

Feng Lingxi's words caused the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion's face to change drastically. Could this Fourth Princess want him to be a scapegoat

"Ye Xi, have all those who toppled the princess and crushed the imperial gifts jade hairpin escorted to the prison. This king will petition the emperor and empress for further judgment."

"Your Lordship, I...I know I was wrong..."

Feng Lingxi looked at the eldest son of Shangshu's mansion, who was now afraid, and reminded him, "If you don't tell me about the other people, when something happens, you will be solely responsible."

The Grand Prince of the Ministry of Personnel hurriedly pointed at a few youths in fine clothes among the crowd, “Fourth Princess Consort, it was these people who bumped into me, I truly didn’t mean to.”

Dugu City's eyes swept over the few young men in fine clothes among the crowd, and he immediately recognized them as the sons of several high-ranking officials. With a wave of his hand, Ye Xi led the soldiers forward to arrest them, remaining unmoved even as they cried out.

"Xi'er, let's go back first."

Feng Lingxi responded and was about to leave when Dugu Cheng intercepted her, scooping her up in a bear hug.dly, if this concubine gives birth to a child for the Fourth Prince, it will also prolong his lineage. What do you think, Fourth Princess"Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, she really thought whatever sh...
