ne as cruel and ruthless as Your Majesty. However, just as Your Majesty said, this servant is truly favored. Therefore, Your Majesty should put in more effort."Mo Huai Lan finished speaking and walked..."I don't know if the Princess will ever come back."

Ye Xi's eyes were full of worry. Du Gu Cheng glanced at him and coughed lightly, "Ye Xi, do you think Feng Ling Xi and I are a good match"

"Ahem..."

Ye Xi was choked and coughed violently. Meeting the King's gaze, she quickly smoothed her breath and said, "A perfect match, Your Highness. The King is brave and valiant in battle, while the Princess is intelligent and capable. A truly perfect couple."

"Who told you these things What I mean is, don't you think Feng Lingxi is much more interesting than other noblewomen"

Ye Xi thought of the king being forced by his wife before marriage and sleeping on the floor after marriage, and nodded vigorously.

It's not just interesting, it's one in a hundred.

"Wrong, that's hard to find even in a million."

Dugu Cheng spoke of Feng Lingxi, the corners of his mouth rising higher and higher, "This woman is indeed one who makes this king look at her with admiration. This king has never met such an interesting woman before."

Looking at the fallen expression in the King's eyes, Ye Xi secretly sighed. The King was hopeless, being bullied by his wife yet finding a sense of pride in it.

"Go, keep an eye on Nanny Liu, don't make her angry with me."

Dugu City came to his senses and urged, "Ye Xi glanced outside for a moment, "My lord, this subordinate feels that you should go there in person. This subordinate can see that the princess is truly sincere about not wanting to stay at Si Wangfu."

If it were any other woman, she wouldn't worry at all, but the princess is different.

Once she steps out that door, she might really run away.

"If I were to leave, wouldn't that increase her prestige Wouldn't she then fear me even less"

"My lord, when has the princess ever been afraid of you"

Ye Xi retorted, and Dugu Cheng glared at him with displeasure. Ye Xi hurriedly lowered his head. Wasn't he the one who asked He was being blamed for telling the truth now.

"Forget it, I'm a man after all. There's no harm in taking a look," he told himself, finding an excuse as Du Gucheng went out.

Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli had just gotten into the carriage, ready to depart when they saw Liu Mama rush over and block their way. Xiaoli lifted the curtain and said to Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, it's Liu Mama."

Feng Lingxi said in a cold voice, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go!"

Seeing the carriage about to leave, Liu Mama remembered what Wang Ye had said and hurriedly stopped it, shouting loudly at the carriage, "Your Highness, please wait a moment, this old servant has something to say."

"Grandma, I've said everything I needed to."

Feng Ling Xi's words caused Liu Ma Ma's face to change drastically. It seemed she had made up her mind to run, just as the Wang Ye had said. This princess was different from other noble ladies; she was here for real.

Looking at the commoners watching from afar, Mama Liu wore a smile and walked to the side of the carriage, slowing her posture. "Your Highness, what I said just now was just hot air. Please don't take it to heart. Just come back with me, won't you"

"No."

Not giving him any face whatsoever, Mama Liu's old face stiffened. She clenched her fists and watched as more and more commoners gathered around. After all, in this situation, it was normal to attract attention. She had to quickly lead the princess inside and prevent things from escalating.

"Your Majesty, one shouldn't look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's. This old servant was called by the late Empress Dowager herself. If you truly wish to leave, you should at least inform her."

Feng Lingxi didn't even lift her eyelids, her tone still icy cold.

“Grandmother, please don’t call me Princess anymore. I can’t bear it. This Fourth Prince's Residence shouldn’t be a place for someone as foolish as me. Grandmother, you should tell the Old Empress that the Fourth Prince should find a wife who is worthy of him. I have said everything I need to say. Xiaoli, let’s go. We mustn’t delay mealtime.”

Xiao Li lifted the curtain and looked at Liu Mama standing by the carriage. Her face was slightly cold as she said, "Liu Mama, please let me through, my young mistress wants to go back."

Seeing that the Princess was determined to leave, Grandma Liu hurriedly got into the carriage. Little Li wanted to stop her, but she pushed her away.

"Your Highness, this old servant personally came to invite you back. Don't you even give this old servant a shred of face"

Feng Lingxi glanced at her and said calmly, "Grandmother, you're being too serious. Grandmother is a beloved figure by the old Queen, while I am merely a woman bestowed upon the Fourth Prince by the Emperor as a bride to bring luck. Now that the Prince has returned, I know I am unworthy of him, and it would be better for me not to disgrace the Fourth Prince's Manor."

"How is the princess willing to return with this old servant Just tell me."

Grandma Liu looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with suppressed anger. She had never been so humble and servile to anyone before. If it hadn't been for the King's words, she wouldn't have pleaded with Feng Lingxi to return like this. In her eyes, the legitimate daughter of General's Mansion was indeed not worthy of the Fourth Prince.

"Grandmother, your words sound like I'm threatening you. I said, I won't go back, Grandmother, please go back."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, then closed her eyes and remained silent.

Xiaoli saw the forbearance in Liu Mama's eyes and made a gesture of invitation, but Liu Mama refused to get out of the carriage.

"Grandma, you're making a servant uncomfortable. My young mistress is a person of her word, once she speaks, it's done. Grandma, please return."

Grandma Liu glared at Xiao Li coldly and said to Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, are you wanting this old servant to kneel down for you"

"Grandma, I said I wouldn't go back, even if you kneel, I won't."

She had finally found an opportunity to leave the palace, how could she possibly go back.

Moreover, didn't Du Gucheng not even say a word for her just now He doesn't care if she stays in the palace or not, so why should she stay

“My Lady, the commoners outside are gathering around us. If you continue to stand your ground like this, if word reaches the Old Dowager Empress and the Emperor, where will the Fourth Prince's face be Your Majesty, should the Emperor inquire, I wouldn’t be able to bear the guilt, My Lady. I kneel before you. This time, it was my fault. I dare not do so again.”

Feng Ling Xi only heard a thump, her eyes opened, and she saw Liu Mama kneeling before her, tears in her eyes.

"Grandma Liu, what are you doing Are you threatening me"

Liu Mama started crying, kneeling before Feng Lingxi, choking and saying, "Your Highness, the old Empress ordered me to serve you. Now that you're leaving, the old Empress will hold me accountable. Even ten lives wouldn't be enough to atone for my sins, Your Highness. Please, for an old servant like me, spare me this time"

Wind Ling Xi lifted the curtain and looked at the crowd of people standing far away, watching her. Her eyes sank slightly. No wonder they endured their pain and knelt down to beg for her forgiveness. It was because they were afraid that this matter would escalate and reach her mother's ears, leading to punishment from her.

Although she didn't have a good feeling about Dugu City, her mother concubine was indeed very kind to her.

Just letting her off like this, figuring she'll be back.

"Xiao Li, help Grandma up. Grandma, you're so old, why are you kneeling like this If Old Madam found out, she'd think I was being difficult with her."

When Liu Ma heard this, seeing that she had some intention of turning back, she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. Please don't leave, Your Highness."d of not sleeping so late""Can't sleep."Feng Ling Xi came to her senses and looked up at the night sky, "I'm afraid of tomorrow's results."Dugu Cheng draped a coat over her, "You'll know tomorrow, don...
