y trying to keep tabs on me. Wasn't the last lesson enough She dares to try and shove this many women at me!""My lord, please don't be angry. Have you forgotten that you will be going on a campaign in..."Just have her try some medicine and find out, wouldn't you"
Wind Lingxi took the medicine from his hand and stared at Qing He, her eyes as sharp and cold as ice.
"Drink it down."
Qing He was so scared that she knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I followed your orders when concocting the medicine. I..."
"Since you know your identity is a maidservant, you should know that upon entering this household, you become a slave. You shouldn't slander your master or scheme behind his back. Who sent you this medicine Speak!"
Qing He raised her eyes, tears blurring her vision, and cried out, “Your Highness, isn’t this the medicine you told me to make for Concubine Shu I do everything as you instruct.”
Shu Taifei, seeing Feng Lingxi's imposing appearance, wanted to harm her. Now she blames it on the maid.
It's true that a woman's heart can be the most venomous. What kind of qualifications does this snake-hearted woman have to be her daughter-in-law
"Ché'er, you saw everything, didn't you She doesn't even dare to admit her own actions, and she still wants to drug me..."
Before Shutai could finish her words, Dugu City interrupted her.
"Mother Empress, if Xi'er wanted to poison you, she wouldn't be so foolish as to boil medicine. If she wanted to harm you, you would have been dead long ago."
After losing her memory, the empress dowager's opinion of Xi'er became truly unreasonable, even questioning her intelligence.
Xi'er's medical skills are praised by the emperor himself, so how could he use such a foolish method
Moreover, this Qing He, they saved her and already felt something was off about her. Unthinkable, she actually played a trick on them! How foolish she is.
Shu Taifei wanted to interject, but Dugu Cheng glared at Qing He, “This King is giving you one last chance. Tell me, who sent you the medicine”
Qing He's body trembled slightly, "It's the Princess Consort."
"Heh…"
Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled, this smile was like a poppy blooming, simply too beautiful to behold. Her beautiful eyes swept over Qing He, she knelt down, and reached out to pinch Qing He's chin.
"Look into my eyes and say it again, who is it"
Tears welled up in Qing He's eyes, "Your Highness, if you refuse to admit that this medicine was given to Imperial Concubine Shu by you, then I will admit that I brought it myself. My life belongs to you, Your Highness. If you want me to live, I will; if you want me to die, I will."
"Then die."
Feng Lingxi rose, her voice icy, "Come here, force this medicine down her throat."
"Hold on!"
Shu Tai Fei opened her mouth to stop him, looking at Feng Ling Xi, "Who do you think you are, acting so recklessly in front of me Do you think I don't exist"
Qing He hurriedly rushed to Shu Taifei's feet, kneeling and holding onto Shu Taifei's legs, weeping and saying, "Shu Taifei, the slave girl thanks you for making decisions for the slave girl. This medicine is really given by the Fourth Princess..."
Before Qing He could finish speaking, Dugu Cheng raised his foot and kicked her away. She flew backward, crashing into the doorframe. The force of the kick was so strong that Qing He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, shocking everyone present.
"You really think I'm blind Playing such tricks in front of me! Guards, drag her down and have her beheaded!"
"Lady Shu, save me!"
Qing He cried out and crawled to Shu Taifei's feet, the blood from the corner of her mouth making people feel heartbroken.
Feng Lingxi is quite impressed, the kick from Dugu City didn't knock this little girl unconscious. It's really interesting.
"Perhaps, for Lady Shu's sake, we should spare her this time. Let's just lock her up for now. After all, someone who can withstand your kick without fainting deserves a thorough investigation."
This Qing He, the empress has taken in.
Shutai Fe opened her mouth and said to Feng Ling Xi, "You dare to snatch someone from me She doesn't believe that her son wouldn't listen to her.
Upon hearing the words of Empress Dowager Shu, Qing He hurriedly kowtowed and expressed her gratitude. "Servant girl thanks Empress Dowager Shu. Servant girl is willing to do anything for you."
"You were saved by me, I promised, did I ever say you could leave"
Feng Lingxi's gaze was even colder than before. Qing He's purpose became much clearer—she seemed to be targeting Shu Taifei. Approaching her, could it be that she wanted to climb onto Duke Gu's bed and take Shu Taifei's place
"How so, does the Empress need to report her personal affairs to you"
The Empress Dowager's voice was filled with determination, she still didn't believe it, Feng Lingxi would still not give her the person.
Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled.
"Imperial Noble Consort Shu, why would my people give you this"
"You..."
The Dowager Empress looked at Dugu City, "This is your territory, son."
"Qing He was saved by her, as for staying or leaving, Xi Er's word holds."
"What are you all just standing there for Take her down and lock her up. No one is to take her away without my orders."
Feng Lingxi spoke, Fourteen and Fifteen came in, took Qing He away, Qing He screamed and pleaded, but was knocked unconscious by Fourteen and dragged away.
"City Lord, you will also join hands with her to deal with this empress"
The Shutai Feifei looked at the room, with only them left inside. Her face was ashen with anger. Where had her grandmother gone
"Mother, please rest assured. I will arrange several new maidservants and nannies to attend to your meals and daily life. As for the previous ones who were disrespectful to Wan'er, I have confined them for reflection. Once they have reflected properly, I will return them to you."
The Shu Tai Fei gasped, clutching at her chest as if she were suffocating.
"For this woman, you would even disregard your own mother's life and death."
Dugu Cheng supported Shu Taifei and soothed her, "Mother concubine, your son is doing this for your own good."
"Yexi, escort Mother back."
Ye Xi stepped forward, looking at the furious Shu Taifei, and respectfully said, "Shu Taifei, please."
Shu Tai's eyes narrowed in anger as she glared at Feng Lingxi, then angrily swept her sleeves and left.
Feng Lingxi never expected that as soon as she returned, the war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would begin.
"Xi'er, don't take my concubine's words to heart. She has amnesia. When she remembers, she will surely blame herself."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You said that Qing He, what is her background Is she here for my mother"
As long as there's no mix-up, Shu Taifei can handle the situation herself. It was Qing He who surprised her today with her performance.
Dugu Cheng frowned, "This is hard to say. How did she suddenly bring that medicine It's well-timed, isn't it"
Feng Lingxi's hand was smeared with some medicine juice, she put it on her nose and sniffed it.
"This medicine isn't poisonous, but after consuming it, the Empress Dowager's emotions will become even more volatile. You say there is no harm, there is harm...but isn't it poison"
"Her aim is to sell you out and get close to your mother"
Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow, “This Qing He is approaching us with impure motives. It’s up to you to investigate this properly, or should I”
"I'm afraid you can't handle her cuteness, so let me do it."
Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu Cheng frown. Had he kicked too lightly earlier today
"That Qing He is skilled in martial arts, you have to be careful."
"It's good to be skilled in martial arts, otherwise you die too quickly."
Feng Lingxi, after finishing her words, handed Wan'er to Dugu City. "Take good care of Wan'er, Xiao Li, come with me to meet this Qing He girl. To expose herself so quickly is truly impetuous."
Feng Lingxi was just about to set off when he heard Yingliu rush forward, "Holy Lord, Qing He has bitten her tongue and committed suicide."
"Take me there."
Feng Ling's face changed drastically. When he arrived, Qing He had already become a corpse. Fourteen and Fifteen stood there, their expressions solemn.
"My subordinates were negligent and failed to notice her actions."ty in the capital. Could she possibly lose to a manHowever, the two handsome men standing together as a pair are indeed eye-catching."Where is Mother Is she at home""The mistress is at home."Feng Ling...
