room. A note and a crossbow were left by her side. When Feng Lingxi got up, she looked at the refurbished crossbow and her eyes became even softer.It turned out that last night, Dugu City was helping..."Everywhere hurts."

Wan'er cried bitterly in Feng Lingxi's arms, her eyes red and swollen. Her pitiful appearance made people feel heartbroken to look at her.

"You all saw clearly, it was this girl who rushed forward first and was pushed away by this concubine's maidservant, causing her injury. This has nothing to do with this concubine."

Even at this point, Yan Fei was still speaking in such a way, her eyes looked down on Feng Lingxi completely. Before, she had heard that Feng Lingxi was very capable, but now that she saw her, she just appeared weak and pitiful. There was nothing like what people had said about her.

Feng Lingxi was coaxing Wan'er, watching the flush on her face and constantly comforting her.

"What happened"

Emperor Yuan Zhao was on his way to Ci'an Palace when he passed by the Imperial Garden and saw a commotion. From afar, he could see Feng Lingxi's figure, and especially Wan'er's cries were loud.

"See Your Majesty."

The appearance of Emperor Yuanzhao caused everyone present to kneel down. Feng Lingxi hurriedly pulled Wan'er down to kneel.

"I greet Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Zhao walked forward and at once saw the scar on Wan'er's face. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened How did Wan'er get hurt"

Upon hearing the Emperor's follow-up question, Yan Fei became flustered and hastily replied, "Your Majesty, it was..."

"I didn't ask you, Wan'er. Tell me, who hurt your face"

When the Emperor called her name, Wan'er pouted and pointed at Yanfei.

Yan Fei became even more panicked and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, it's not like that, it is..."

"Bold Flame Empress, to actually dare to harm the gentle Lady Wan'er, is it because I have pampered you too much in the past, making you so heartless and cruel that you would even harm a child"

Emperor Yuan Zhao was furious, but Feng Lingxi's expression wasn't surprised. Emperor Yuan Zhao was a smart man and wouldn't make things worse over a concubine because of Wan'er. After all, Wan'er was also the granddaughter of the current empress.

Waner looked at Yanfei, pointing at her, "It was her who scratched my face with her fingernails and made her maidservant push me to the ground. My arm is bleeding."

Wan'er rolled up her sleeves, revealing a scrape on her fair arm, the skin broken. Emperor Yuan Zhao saw this and his face darkened with fury.

"Empress Yan, how dare you! Guards, Empress Yan has a wicked heart. Imprison her in the Cold Palace. Without my permission, she is not allowed to leave even half a step."

When Empress Yan heard this, her face turned pale. She hurriedly knelt and crawled to Emperor Yuan Zhao's feet, hugging his legs and crying bitterly, "Your Majesty, your concubine is wronged..."

"Could it be that I would still lie They all saw it, you called my mother here and humiliated her in public. You even scratched my face and humiliated my mother."

Wan'er's words surprised Emperor Yuan Zhao and made him dislike Empress Yan even more.

This woman, she's good at making things worse but bad at achieving anything. At this crucial moment, she actually attacked Feng Lingxi and even hurt little Wan'er. If Dugu City pursues this matter, don't even talk about military power, I'm afraid she'll have to take the blame as well.

He couldn't let things slide with even Dugu City alone, let alone Empress Dowager. He had to punish them both or he wouldn't be able to explain it to her.

This idiot!

Feng Lingxi never pleaded for Yan Fei from beginning to end, nor did she interfere with Wan'er's words.

Waner hadn't spoken this much in a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that her heart was filled with grievance to the point of bursting, she wouldn't have stepped forward to speak up for her.

"Your Majesty, my mother's arm was also pushed and injured by her."

Wan'er pointed at Feng Lingxi's bleeding arm. Emperor Yuan Zhao didn't look, but when he did, he immediately ordered, "Bring the Flame Consort here and execute her by beatings."

"Your Majesty!"

When Yan Fei heard the words "beaten to death with a staff," she fainted directly.

Everyone present was too afraid to speak, kneeling on the ground trembling. This was the first time they had seen the Emperor so angry, and it was all because of the Chen Wangfei and her daughter.

"What are you still doing, Imperial Physician Xuan!"

Suddenly, the imperial garden was in chaos.

Emperor Yuan Zhao stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the bloodstains on Feng Lingxi's arm. Concern clouded his eyes.

"Have the imperial physician take a look, bandage him well and send him out of the palace. As for this matter, I will give you an explanation."

Feng Lingxi looked at the people kneeling on the ground. It seemed that no one was willing to speak up for her.

In this palace, there is truly such ruthlessness and lack of compassion. Even when Wan'er just fell, not a single person came forward to help her. How could she not be heartbroken

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Emperor Yuan Zhao stepped forward and looked at her arm, "How badly is it hurt"

Feng Lingxi was covering her injured arm, which was bleeding profusely, obviously a serious injury.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me from this predicament."

Feng Lingxi cupped her hands in a gesture of thanks, but suddenly her body went limp and she collapsed, startling everyone present.

Especially Emperor Yuan Zhao, he never expected things to turn out like this.

"Quickly send the Crown Princess of Chen to a side hall and summon the imperial physician to attend to her."

Inside the palace, chaos reigned, and Wan'er cried uncontrollably. The news quickly reached Ci'an Palace. Upon hearing this, Empress Shu rushed to the side hall where the imperial physician was treating Feng Lingxi, tending to her wounds.

The Empress Dowager has arrived!

When Emperor Yuan Zhao heard that the Empress Dowager had arrived, he knew things had gotten out of hand.

Feng Lingxi's wound on her arm was very large. After inquiring, she learned that it was caused by Yan Fei pushing her down. When she fell, in order to protect Wan'er's safety, she was scratched by a stone, leaving a deep wound with torn flesh and skin. The imperial physician even recommended stitching it up.

Feng Lingxi fainted due to excessive blood loss and is still unconscious.

"Mother, how did you come here"

Emperor Yuan Zhao stepped forward, seeing Empress Shu's anxious gaze fixed on Feng Lingxi on the couch, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect Empress Yan to be so ruthless. I have already executed her."

"Your Majesty, how is Xi'er"

Yuan Zhaodi looked at her anxious eyes and truthfully said, "The wound on her arm is rather deep. The imperial physician is currently applying medicine to her and treating the wound. There is no danger to her life."

When Empress Shu heard that there was no danger to her life, she let out a sigh of relief. She should have sent someone to take her out of the palace; if she had, this wouldn't have happened.

"Your Majesty, all those in Yan Fei's palace must be severely punished. This concubine heard that Yan Fei's maidservant pushed Wan'er down and injured her." The Empress Dowager said, her eyes searching for Wan'er, but she couldn't see her. She hastily asked, "Where is that girl"

Emperor Yuan Zhao hurriedly said, "That girl cried too much, so I let her eat something and the imperial physician treated her wounds. The maidservant who pushed down Wan'er has already been executed by me, and everyone present has also been punished."

Even hearing this, Empress Shutai was still unsatisfied.

So what if she gets punished, Xier's injury will still be there.

"Mother, this matter still requires you to inform King Chen. I will give him an explanation here." With such an incident happening in his palace, the military power issue was now likely to fall through. The current solution was to handle it properly and appease Duke Duguo, preventing the matter from escalating and causing unnecessary controversy.

Since he has taken the throne, it cannot be given to Dugu City.

It had already been two hours since Dugu Cheng received news that Feng Lingxi and Wan'er had been injured. Feng Lingxi and Wan'er had already been sent back to the residence of the Princess Consort of Chen, but Feng Lingxi was still unconscious.

Mr. Zhao personally sent Feng Lingxi and Wan'er back, looking at Dugu City's furious face, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Prince of Chen, the Emperor has spoken, about today's events involving the Princess Consort of Chen, I have already punished them severely."departing figures, a cold glint flashed in their eyes."You wouldn't believe it, this person is such a good actor."Otherwise, do you think he is truly innocent This man's cousin is a spy.
