Chapter 26: I don't fancy being the fourth princess

the military seals and depart immediately. Do not fail.""Your servant obeys!"After receiving the imperial decree, Dugu City said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, I have one more request. Please...Seeing Feng Lingxi who suddenly appeared, Zhao Ma'ma's face changed drastically.

"How did you get here"

Feng Lingxi smiled slightly, looking at her fearless eyes, and walked over to help Cheng Xin hold herself up.

“If this princess hadn’t waited here for Granny Zhao, how could she have heard such heartfelt words from her I wonder, when Mother Concubine hears Granny Zhao's true feelings for the Fourth Prince, will she be able to accept you as her daughter-in-law”

"Your Highness, please watch your words. You are not allowed to slander the Prince's innocence."

Nanny Zhao trembled with anger at her words, “I am the wet nurse of the Fourth Prince!”

"This princess naturally knows that you are the nursemaid of the Fourth Prince, but Zhao Mama, your feelings for the Fourth Prince are truly admirable. Otherwise, I would give you the position of Fourth Princess and fulfill your wish."

"Your Highness, you speak without restraint. Don't blame this old servant and the old Empress Dowager for telling you that you are defaming the Crown Prince's innocence."

Feng Lingxi heard her threatening words and sneered.

"Go ahead, I'm very curious to see how Mother will react when she hears these words of yours. Will she accept you as her daughter-in-law"

Zhao Mama was so angry that her face turned green, her eyes almost bulging out.

"Your Highness, Zhao Mamā said that her granddaughter is not hers."

Chen Xin whispered intentionally, Feng Lingxi glanced at Chen Xin, not bad, knowing she was on her side, knowing she could see the situation and could be used by her.

Grandma Zhao glared at Cheng Xin, scaring her into quickly bowing her head and not daring to speak another word.

"So that's how it is, no wonder Madam Zhao is so picky towards this princess. It turns out she wants to keep the position of Fourth Princess for her granddaughter. Well said, I'll tell my mother and have her enter the mansion. Then, I'll give up my position as Fourth Princess to her."

Feng Ling Xi's words left Zhao Ma Ma dumbfounded. She looked at her serious expression, "Your Highness, are you being serious You truly wish to give up the position of Fourth Princess"

"In three days, after I return home, I will enter the palace to see the Holy One. My husband and I will request an imperial decree of marriage from the Emperor."

"The Emperor granted you marriage, what a bold statement! How could the Emperor possibly grant you marriage."

"Zhao Mama obviously didn't believe it, looking at Feng Lingxi, "You still better tell this to the old Empress."

"That's easy. I'll tell my mother when I return. Isn't it just a position of princess consort If you want your granddaughter to marry into the Fourth Prince's Residence, just tell me. Why make such a fuss"

Feng Lingxi's attitude made Zhao Mamá somewhat suspicious of her sincerity. After a long silence, she asked, "Don't you want the position of Fourth Princess"

"Aren't I the Fourth Princess now"

Zhao MaMa looked at her, “I’ll trust you this once. If you lie to me, I won’t let you off easy.”

“Grandma Zhao, don’t forget that you need me now. If I nod my head, your granddaughter can be the mistress of this Fourth Prince’s Mansion. If I disagree, your granddaughter will never be able to step into this Fourth Prince’s Mansion in her lifetime. Don't believe me Go ahead and try!”

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to Cheng Xinyi, "Since you are serving this princess, come back with me."

With a determined heart and eagerness, Cheng Xin Yi followed closely behind Feng Ling Xi. They had just been saved by the princess, so naturally they headed towards her.

After a morning of tossing and turning, Feng Lingxi was famished. Returning to the courtyard, she handed Cheng Xin Yi to Xiao Li before entering her room to rest. She had been standing all morning, her legs aching painfully, and her stomach growled with hunger.

"Isn't it just paying respects Why did it take so long"

獨孤城 came out from behind the screen, scaring Feng Lingxi so much that she hurriedly looked at the door. Seeing no one, she pulled him back behind the screen and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"What are you doing out here Are you trying to kill me"

Dugu Cheng looked at the slap mark on her face, reached out to touch it, Feng Lingxi stretched out her hand to knock away his hand, "What are you doing"

"Were you hit"

Could it not have been done by the empress dowager

Feng Ling Xi is so clever, how could she not handle her mother concubine

"He was slapped by the Fourth Prince's mother."

"Why did she hit you" Dugu Cheng frowned. His mother was usually kind, he thought she could have subdued his mother, it seems his mother didn't have a good impression of her.

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "What does this have to do with you If you're feeling better, just leave and stop bothering me."

"I can't go, my body isn't well yet, and I haven't eaten anything."

Dugu Cheng looked at her, his handsome face slightly pale. Feng Lingxi grabbed his hand to feel his pulse, her mood restless.

"Next time you get poisoned, get lost and don't show up in front of me again."

Didn't you just sleep with him once

She had detoxified him twice, and seeing the poison in his body now, she felt angry. She removed the poison, but it took a day or two for his body to recover.

"Good."

Hearing him say that, Feng Lingxi also felt agitated.

"Since I'm married now, cutting ties with me will only benefit you and do no harm."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, walked out, and watched Xiaoli knock on the door before bringing in the food. She walked over and sat down.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Xin and Cheng Yi are waiting outside. I won't let them come near the room."

"Later, tell everyone I'm sleeping in the house and no one is allowed to disturb me for an hour."

Xiao Li responded and closed the door behind her as she walked out. Feng Ling Xi looked at the food on the table and said coldly, "Come eat."

獨孤城 walked out, looking at the dishes on the table. Although there were many, there was only one bowl.

Wind Ling Xi divided the food and gave him a large half, she ate the smaller portion herself. After finishing her meal, she hugged her bedding and lay down behind the screen.

Don't let anyone know you're here.

Feng Lingxi finished her instructions, took out the medicinal herbs she had brought, and began to concoct them. Dugu Cheng watched her seriously prepare the medicine after finishing his meal, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you preparing medicine for me"

"No."

Someone was guarding outside, so Feng Lingxi wasn't restricted in his movements. After configuring the medicinal materials, Feng Lingxi frowned, realizing there weren't enough.

"What's wrong"

Dugu Cheng looked at her furrowed brows, "Is the medicine missing"

Feng Lingxi looked at him, then lowered her head and continued what she was doing.

"Whose medicine is this"

Looking at the prescription she had written, I found it familiar. Some of the herbs were similar to those in my mother's prescriptions, but there were also some differences.

This was prescribed for the elderly Queen Mother, a few herbs are missing.

Feng Lingxi, after writing out the prescription, carefully packed the medicinal herbs.

"It seems like your daughter-in-law is quite good. She started treating her mother-in-law's illness as soon as she entered the palace."

Dugu City looked at the medicinal herbs she had configured. Perhaps letting her treat his mother's illness could cure her.

Feng Lingxi suddenly threw the herbs and prescription into the trash can beside her, "Who said I treated her"

"What are you doing"

Du Gu Cheng hurriedly picked up the prescription, spread it out, and looked at what she had written. "Since you are now the fourth princess consort, helping her cure her illness, she will definitely be satisfied with you as her daughter-in-law"

Feng Lingxi snatched the prescription from his hand and tore it to shreds.

I don't need her to be satisfied with me, I'm waiting for her to give me a divorce letter. This position of the Fourth Princess, I don't care about it at all.Feng Lingxi, their eyes held a hint of triumph.Feng Lingxi's rebuke stopped the strong man who was about to hit Xiaoli. Xiaoli lay on the bench, her buttocks blooming. Her clothes were soaked with bl...
