Chapter 4, I'm afraid they are all blind

at could very well happen. Dugu City felt it was necessary to explain clearly to Xi'er, so that if something did happen, she would know about it."The Fourth Prince is right, these days you must go out...Ye Xi, hearing this, hurriedly knelt down, "If she becomes a widow, wouldn't the King... Your Highness, even if your reputation is tarnished, you don't have to think so pessimistically, Your Highness..."

Dugu Cheng's cold eyes swept over, "Who told you that this king wants to die This king is only using this opportunity to fake his death, get rid of his followers, and then go back to slowly deal with that crazy woman."

"Very well, subordinate will attend to it right away."

"Hold on."

Dugu Cheng spoke, his icy eyes flashing. "Go and find out everything about this Feng Lingxi. I need to know all about her."

Ye Xi was slightly startled, "My lord, this Feng Lingxi is the fourth young lady of General Feng. She's the most beautiful woman in our capital city, but..."

Du Gu Cheng's cold eyes swept over, his thin lips slightly opened, "What's the matter"

But when she was four, she burned her brain and became stupid.

The cup in Dugu City's hand was once again crushed into pieces with a snap, and the soldiers kneeling on the ground broke out in a cold sweat.

"Foolish and naive"

Well, he clearly remembered the sharp look in her eyes last night. How could she possibly be foolish And her medical skills seemed quite good – she even cured him of the poison on his arm! Those people who called her silly and clueless must be blind.

Ye Xi secretly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, looking at the king's murderous gaze. She regretted saying those words. The king was a war god; to be defied by a foolish woman, anyone would find it hard to accept.

"What are you still doing Get out here."

Night Xi responded and hurried out.

Windy Estate

Feng Lingxi's news of her regained sanity quickly spread throughout the Feng Residence. When Zhang Shi learned that her daughter had recovered, she instructed Xiao Li to call Feng Lingxi over. In Feng Lingxi's memory, the last time she saw her mother was a month ago, but she only stayed for a short while before returning.

Feng Lingxi came to her mother Zhang's residence, which was in a remote part of the mansion. There were only two maidservants and one elderly nanny in the courtyard.

When Feng Lingxi arrived, Zhang was overjoyed. Though in her thirties, she appeared pale and sickly due to years of illness, her frail health seeming like she could fall with a single gust of wind.

"Xi'er has met her mother."

Feng Lingxi, as soon as she finished her courtesy, was seized by the Zhang family's hand and pulled to sit beside her.

"Xier, mother heard that your mind has recovered. Have you seen a doctor Are you feeling better now"

Seeing the worry in her mother's eyes, Feng Lingxi revealed a smile.

"Mother, Xier's body is well now, please rest assured."

Zhang showed a relieved smile, “That's good, Mother can see you are getting better, Mother is…” *cough cough*…

“Mother, please calm down.” Feng Lingxi quickly soothed her mother and, looking at her increasingly pale face, she took her mother’s wrist, felt her pulse, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. As she had expected, her mother had been poisoned.

"Xier, mother is fine. Mother is happy to see Xier is well."

Zhang patted her on the back, "You're almost coming of age. Your father promised that he would find a good match for you. If you have someone you like, tell me, and I will ask your father..."

"Mother, Xi'er doesn't want to get married this quickly."

If she were to marry, her mother would truly be left in the cold.

Zhang patted her hand, "Silly child, women get married when they grow up. If you can get better, your father will definitely find you a good family."

"Mother, don't talk about Xi'er's matters. Have you had a doctor look at your illness"

"Miss Fourth, Madam's medicine has never been interrupted. It was the Second Mistress who personally found a doctor to treat Madam's illness."

The nanny by Zhang's side hurriedly answered, looking at the Fourth Miss in front of her, the nanny's face was full of smiles.

"Grandma, there are some things I want to say to my mother alone. Please go first."

Feng Lingxi saw this grandmother and disliked her. The grandmother hesitated for a moment, but didn't leave.

"How is it, Grandmother, that you think my words as the eldest daughter of the Feng family carry no weight"

Grandma's face changed drastically. She already knew about the fourth Miss's recovery, but hearing her say it now still startled her. Meeting her sharp gaze, Grandma hastily smiled and retreated.

"Xiao Li, you guard the door for me, not even a fly is allowed in."

Xiao Li hurriedly went out, leaving only Feng Ling Xi and her mother, Zhang Shi, in the room.

"Xier, what are you doing Grandma has followed your mother for over ten years, what is this..."

Feng Lingxi grasped Zhang Shi's hand and began to feel her pulse, confirming that she was poisoned. She stood up, scanned the room, and her gaze fell on the incense burning in the corner. She walked over and extinguished it.

"Mother, since your health is not well, please stop burning incense in the future."

"Xier, is there something wrong with this incense"

Looking at her daughter's cold and sharp gaze, Zhang shi's eyes were full of confusion. Why had Xi'er become so strange

"It is not good for Mother's body to be exposed to incense." Feng Lingxi stood up. "Mother, Xi'er still has some business to attend to outside the mansion. Please rest first, and Xi'er will come back later to pay my respects."

Zhang nodded, watching her leave with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

Feng Lingxi left her mother's courtyard and rushed to Liu Shi's courtyard. When Liu Shi saw her coming, she smiled and greeted her.

"Xier is here."

"Xi'er has met Second Auntie."

Feng Lingxi greeted and got straight to the point, "Second Aunt, I'm going out of the mansion to buy some rouge and face powder. Could you please give me this month's allowance"

The young ladies and gentlemen of the Feng family each had their own monthly allowance. As the Feng family's eldest daughter, her allowance was more than theirs.

"Butler, give Miss Four ten taels of silver."

Thank you, second aunt.

Feng Lingxi bid farewell after thanking them, and Feng Linglong angrily clenched her handkerchief, "Mother, why did you give her so much silver I only get five taels a month."

"She's the legitimate daughter. Let's follow the rules and see what she wants to do. This girl is not easy to deal with."

Liu shi, after all, rose from concubine to this position step by step. She still has some sense of proportion.

"What can she do Now that she's the legitimate daughter, she's definitely flaunting herself everywhere. If this continues, the emperor will certainly marry her off."

Feng Linglong complained in discontent, and Liu shi glanced at her, "Stop making a fuss, you are still the eldest Miss of the Feng family after all."

"Madam."

A grandmother quickly walked up to Liu's side and whispered a few words in her ear. A smile appeared on the corner of Liu's lips, "It seems that God is on my side."

Feng Linglong looked at her mother's smile and hurriedly asked, "Mother, is there something good happening Please tell me."

Liu approached her ear and whispered a few words. Feng Linglong was taken aback, looking at the smile on her mother's lips, "Mother means..."

Liu shielded her mouth and said, "Leave the rest to Mother. You don't have to worry, she might escape on the first day but not on the fifteenth."f she had just killed them all, wouldn't there be no trouble now"Father, Zhou'er is unfilial."Lu Juzhou looked at King Pingxi, tears welling up in her eyes, streaming down uncontrollably. Suddenly, a...
