of the Holy Master, do you want it or not""What does the chief mean I don't understand. What should I do, and what shouldn't I do"Feng Lingxi poured a cup of tea for Luoli, taking a sip herself. Her...After a while, the imperial physician stood up and respectfully said, "Reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the Crown Princess's pulse is stable and there is no major concern."

"Thank you, Taiyi."

Dugu City looked at the imperial physician's respectful appearance, "There is no need to prescribe medicine, Xi'er can handle it herself. Please ask the Emperor to thank me on my behalf. Xi'er has already woken up and will not be absent from the Empress Dowager's birthday tomorrow."

"I shall take my leave."

Watching the imperial physician leave, Feng Lingxi struggled to sit up. Du Gucheng helped Feng Lingxi sit properly. Feng Lingxi stared at the scratches on Wan'er's face, her eyes full of guilt.

"Wan'er, Mother is sorry for making you suffer."

When Dugu Cheng saw the scratches on Wan'er's face, although he was very angry, he didn't show it. The wound on Wan'er's face wasn't deep, but for a young woman, being hurt on the face was a big deal. No matter how light or serious the injury was, it was intolerable.

"Mother, why didn't you discipline them today They are all wicked women."

Wǎn'er looked at her mother, "Wǎn'er saw them bullying her mother, Wǎn'er can't bear it."

Dugu Cheng looked at Wan'er's eyes full of concern, and gently touched her head, softly saying, "Your mother doesn't want to make a big fuss. This time we came to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. If the Empress Dowager summons us, it will cause trouble and lead to gossip. Your mother is doing this for the sake of the overall situation."

Moreover, Emperor Yuan Zhao is different from the previous emperors. He doesn't care about Yao clan's treasures, and his style of governing is also distinct from them. Over the past few months, his actions have constantly improved his reputation among the people.

If Xier were to act arrogantly and confront Yan Fei today, causing a commotion, she would become the target of everyone's criticism. At that time, he would also be implicated. Xier endures this way precisely to avoid dragging him into it.

These, Dugu City understood clearly.

But that woman is so wicked, she pushed down her mother-in-law and also bullied Wan'er.

Wan'er pouted, her face a picture of anger and displeasure.

So you cried and made a scene today, forcing the Emperor to punish Empress Yan

Wind Ling Xi looked at Wan'er's angry little face. Wan'er lowered her head, clenched her small hands, and said angrily, "I'm telling the truth. Wan'er is two years old, she's not a kid anymore, Wan'er understands everything."

Wind Ling looked helpless, this little girl was truly clever.

"You really are as clever as your mother."

Du Gu Cheng dotingly said, Wan'er glanced at Feng Ling Xi, “I'm not like my mother. My mother isn't smart at all. When people bully her, she doesn't even dare to speak up. I do things my own way. When I grow up a little more, I'll be smarter.”

Wan'er was full of confidence, looking at Feng Lingxi.

"Then, Wan'er will be able to protect Mother."

"Alright then, Mother will just wait for Wan'er to protect me." Feng Lingxi heard Wan'er's words, her heart was full of emotion. This little girl surprised her so much, but she actually thought she wasn't smart enough.

Well, as long as she's happy, let her be a little silly.

"Let Mother take a look at your wounds. They need to be treated properly so that there are no scars."

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er's facial injury. Wan'er grasped her hand, "Mother, the medicine has already been applied to Wan'er's face. It's the best medicine, and it won't leave a scar."

"Your mother must personally make the ointment for you, otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease."

"The medicine that my master applied to me."

Wǎn'er looked at her mother, Feng Lingxi was stunned, "Master Luoli came over"

Waner nodded, Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng in surprise, "When did Luoli come Why don't I know"

“Mother fainted, how would I know The master climbed the wall to enter and after applying medicine to me, he climbed out again. He said that he couldn't tell mother.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, "Then how did you say that"

"I didn't promise him I wouldn't tell."

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Wan'er's triumphant eyes. She suddenly felt that her daughter was so cunning.

"Since he applied medicine to you, then mother will observe first."

"Mother, apply the medicine yourself."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Wan'er's worried eyes, a smile appeared on her face.

"Mother will be fine in a few days, Wan'er don't worry."

Wan'er nodded and nestled in Dugu City's arms, yawning as she fought off sleep. She was still a child after all. After experiencing such a thing, crying for so long and tossing about all day, she was truly exhausted.

Dugu Cheng picked up Wan'er, "Father will carry you back to the room to sleep. Your mother is injured, don't touch her wounds."

Wan'er nodded and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

"Xiao Li, keep a close eye on Wan'er. Let me know if Luo Li appears."

Wan'er nodded, looking at the seriousness in the princess's eyes, and persuaded, "Your Highness, can you please take good care of yourself in the future and not take such risks This servant is really scared out of my wits."

Sometimes she couldn't be by the Princess' side, and every time she wasn't there, the Princess got hurt. She hated herself so much; if she were there, the Princess wouldn't have gotten hurt this badly.

"This time, I didn't expect Yan Fei to be so vicious, but it can also be considered a blessing in disguise. We're not at too much of a loss this time either."

"It's already like this, so there's no point in pretending it's not."

Little Li mumbled, "When will the princess ever be kind to herself"

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi held Xiaoli's arm and comforted her, "I'll be more careful next time. Don't worry like this, alright I'm not that easy to die."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Xiao Li hurriedly said, "Your Highness is blessed, you can't speak like that."

Feng Lingxi nodded, seeing Xiao Li feeling better. She then said, "I'm hungry, get me something to eat."

Xiao Li went out and told them to prepare food. She returned to the room and took care of him without leaving his side for a moment.

The next day, the news of Feng Lingxi's injury spread throughout the capital. No one knew who started it, but for a time, Feng Lingxi became the hottest topic of conversation among the people after meals and tea breaks.

Lu Nian arrived at Chen Wangfu early in the morning. He shouldn't have come, but when he heard that Feng Lingxi and Wan'er were injured, he couldn't sit still. He came early this morning to see their condition.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City hadn't yet entered the palace to celebrate their birthday when they saw Lu Nian sneaking into the house. Seeing Feng Lingxi, Lu Nian immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where are you hurt Let me take a look"

Dugu Cheng stood in front of Lu Nian, looking at her nervous eyes. "Right arm, but it's not a major issue, Lu Nian, I didn't tell you not to come to Chen Wangfu…"

"No one noticed I came, and, well, I just wanted to see how she was doing."

Feng Lingxi felt a warmth in her heart being cared for so much by Lu Nian. Though she had initially been uncomfortable with him sneaking into the palace, now she could sense his genuine concern in his words. She softly replied, “Lu Gongzi, I'm really fine. I still need to enter the palace for the banquet later. You should go back first.”

"Really alright"

Lu Nian didn't believe it and wanted to step forward to check her arm, but Feng Lingxi dodged and took two steps back. "Young Master Lu, before you figure out the relationship between us, it's best we keep a certain distance."

Lu Nian just wanted to speak, but met with Dugu City's warning gaze, forcing down her worries inside., Zhang Mama is a person of the Empress Dowager, she must not be neglected."Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, stood up, and looked at Pingbei Wangfei politely. "Pingbei Wangfei, I'll take my leave now...
