it like this, he felt rather embarrassed."Alright, Father understands what you mean. Rest assured, these days Father will be with your mother. No more talking about it."Feng Aotians tone softened a bi...Feng Lingxi held the letter in her hand, raised her eyes, and her gaze had returned to its icy clarity.

"Let him decide for himself."

Xiao Li looked at the coldness in the princess's eyes, thinking about what had happened this time, she didn't know how to say it. It seemed like all the bad things were concentrated and happened to the princess.

"Your Highness, the King asks you to pack up your belongings from the former inn."

"I'm under house arrest, how can I get to the inn"

Feng Lingxi heard this and couldn't help but wonder. If it wasn't someone from the manor, she would have suspected a mistake. A guard walked in, "Your Highness, this is a letter from the King."

Feng Lingxi opened the letter and read it. Turning to Xiao Li, she said, "You take care of Wan'er here, I'm going to the post house."

"Your Highness, this servant will accompany you." Little Li felt a twinge of unease. She was worried that the Princess might get into trouble, and she couldn't help but feel that the Princess wasn't telling her anything lately. It made her increasingly anxious about the Princess's safety.

Feng Lingxi took out the jade pendant Lu Fu had given her from her bosom and placed it in Xiao Li's hand. "Take this to Yip Xiang and find Lu Nian, tell him to go to the post house."

"Your Highness, isn't this the jade pendant that Madam Lu gave you Why would you give it to me, and besides, you don't need this jade pendant to find Master Lu at all."

"You have him keep it safe for us. I'm afraid I'll be staying at the inn for a few days this time."

Xiao Li shook her head upon hearing this, refusing.

"Your Highness, you have someone else running errands for you, this servant cannot be separated from you..."

Besides you, who else could I trust Should I send Wan'er instead" Looking at the busy figure, Feng Lingxi's eyes were filled with reluctance. The imperial emissaries had come to investigate the death of the Minister's wife from a poisoned attack, and now they wanted her to go and question witnesses. She gave the jade pendant to Lu Nian. If she was truly caught, this jade pendant of Mrs. Lu absolutely must not fall into the hands of others.

Feng Lingxi held Xiaoli's hand, "Xiaoli, listen to me, this time the court is planning to blame my death on the incident of the Prime Minister's wife being poisoned. You can't go with me. I'm going now, with the Prince there, nothing will happen to me, but if you go with me, the consequences will be different."

Xiao Li listened to the princess's words, so anxious that she was about to cry.

"But Madam Chancellor's affairs are not the work of the Crown Princess. Why would the Crown Princess go Isn't this clearly putting you in crisis"

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "We have no choice now. The court wants to move against us, we only have to cooperate with the investigation. Once the truth is revealed, I'll be fine."

"But..." where did the truth come from This is clearly an attempt to pin the blame on the Princess. Who knows what will happen next

Feng Lingxi patted Xiao Li's hand and instructed, "Remember what I said, take good care of Wan'er. If you're too busy, you can ask Tian Xiaomi to help. If she's willing, ask her to take care of Wan'er. If she doesn't want to, and there's really nowhere else to go, find Luoli and give Wan'er to him."

Upon hearing the princess's words, Xiao Li pushed away Feng Ling Xi's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I don't want to look for Young Master Lu. I want to go with you…" The Princess was talking about her own death as if it were an ordinary matter. Xiaoli was truly afraid that something would happen to the Princess.

"Xiao Li, didn't you say you were willing to listen to me Trust me."

Feng Lingxi’s words had just fallen when a sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard. The guards hurried to report, “Your Highness, soldiers from the Imperial Court have arrived.”

Feng Lingxi, hearing this, nodded toward Xiaoli. "Remember what I said, find Lu Nian and Tian Xiaomi, they will help you."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, walked to Wan'er's face and squatted down, looking at Wan'er's serious little face, as if she didn't know what happened outside, still immersed in the medicinal herbs.

"Wǎn'er, you follow Xiǎolǐ and listen to her. If mother doesn't come back today, have Xiǎolǐ take you to find your aunt or master, or Lù Niàn Uncle."

Wan'er looked up at her mother and nodded.

Feng Lingxi let out a smile, "Mother is leaving now. Wan'er must be obedient and wait for Mother to return before she teaches you how to identify medicinal herbs properly."

"Mother, where are you going"

Footsteps approached the door. Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "I have some things to attend to, I'll be back soon. Wan'er, be a good girl and wait for mama."

Waner nodded. Feng Lingxi reluctantly let go of her hand, stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the army waiting outside. His face suddenly turned cold, and he coldly swept over them. The leading guard stepped forward and bowed to Feng Lingxi, "Princess Consort Chen, I apologize for this intrusion!"

Little Li held onto Wan'er as they walked out. Seeing the soldiers outside, Wan'er ran to Feng Lingxi and hugged her thigh, "Mother, Wan'er won't let you leave."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were wet, but she forced a smile and squatted down to say to Wan'er, "Wan'er, mother has to cooperate with them in the investigation. You can't follow, you have to be good. After you memorize all the herbs on the materia medica book your mother gave you, mother will be back."

Wǎn'er looked at the soldiers behind her mother. They were all armed with swords, releasing Feng Lingxi, and nodding slightly.

"Okay."

"Mother will be fine."

Wind Lingxi got up and left with them. Wan'er cried out in pain, her heartbreaking cry made Wind Lingxi clench her fists, but she could only bear it and go out with them.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, please get into the carriage."

Having left the gate of Chen Wangfu, a carriage was already waiting there. A line of people and horses stretched out in a long queue. Feng Lingxi frowned slightly, and the guard opened his mouth and said, "Concubine Chen's status is special, this matter concerns the reputation of Concubine Chen, please get into the carriage."

Feng Lingxi nodded and got into the carriage. There was only one person in the carriage, but there was a faint fragrance permeating the air inside. Feng Lingxi smelled this scent and hurriedly covered her nose with her hand, searching for the source of the smell in the carriage, but she couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, her gaze fell on the carriage mat.

The carriage moved at a leisurely pace, much like the Princess's usual outings. The common people of Linxi County were accustomed to seeing military escorts and wouldn't find it particularly unusual. They simply made way, watching from the side, unaware that Feng Lingxi was inside.

Feng Lingxi sat in the carriage, covering her nose the whole time. It wasn't a solution, though. The fragrance was exhilarating and had an exciting effect.

Feng Lingxi hurriedly took out a bottle from her bosom, took a pill and put it in her mouth, continuing to cover her mouth with her hand. With the other hand, she lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking out the window. They were now on the street, but this didn't seem to be the direction towards the post house.

Feng Lingxi glanced at the guards following her. These were sent by the imperial court, there was no faking this. To be able to come to the Prince's Mansion and take her away under Duguxing's nose, perhaps Duguxing himself had been detained right now.

Feng Lingxi went to the front and took out a hairpin, throwing it out. It happened to fall at the foot of a soldier. Feng Lingxi leaned over and shouted, "Wait a minute, my hairpin fell, please pick it up for me."

Feng Lingxi's voice was loud, and the soldiers hurriedly bent down to pick it up. Feng Lingxi glanced at the crowd but didn't find any familiar figures.the Imperial Forest Army surround the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Feng Lingxi's face turned ashen with anger. What protection was this This was clearly supervision.Feng Lingxi took a step outside, but th...
