Yaohua loved to make poisons, her mother's poison...獨孤雁's eyes narrowed, her questioning gaze angered Empress Cen, "Emperor, what do you mean by that My family was poisoned, Yao Hua helped me detoxif...Night Xi looked at the King, insistent on doing so, angrily turned and left.

"I really don't know what the prince is thinking. Is it really interesting for him to hurt his wife like this He promised to share weal and woe with his wife, but what he's doing now, I can't stand it anymore."

Ye Xi complained, thinking about having to say such cruel words to the princess. If the princess really left, he would regret it. It was like forgetting the pain after a wound had healed.

"What was the lord thinking"

A cold voice came, startling Ye Xi. Upon seeing it was Xiao Li, the displeasure on Ye Xi's face vanished instantly, replaced by a smile as they greeted her, "Xiao Li, what are you doing here"

Xiao Li glared at him coldly, "Don't change the subject. What did you just mean"

Yexi looked at Xiao Li with scrutiny, those icy eyes made his heart feel heavy. He was also a victim, why couldn't Xiao Li be kinder to him

"The Lord instructed me to tell the Princess that he merely took a woman into the household. If you are unhappy, then just keep it to yourself."

"What!"

Marry

Xiao Li's gasps could be heard, and Ye Xi quickly covered Xiao Li's mouth, hurriedly persuading her, "Miss, keep your voice down, if the King hears this, I'll be punished."

"Did the king really allow you to speak to the princess like that"

Xiaoli crossed her arms, and seeing Ye Xi nod, she angrily stomped towards the West Courtyard. Ye Xi hurriedly grabbed her, "Xiaoli, things aren't as simple as you think. If you go now, the King might have you punished."

Then I want to see if he really wants to hit me.

Xiaoli shook off Yexi's hand and quickly ran towards the west courtyard. She dashed into the room where Dugu Cheng and Luo Qin'yi were, just as Luo Qin'yi was having breakfast with Dugu Cheng. Seeing Xiaoli rush in, Dugu Cheng's eyes darkened instantly.

"Who let her in."

The maidservants outside rushed forward, trying to take Xiao Li out, but Xiao Li shook them off. She stared at Luo Qin Yi and the King inside, looking at their food on the table and at the furnishings in Luo Qin Yi's room. Her eyes were full of disappointment.

"Master, the only question I have come here to ask you is: are you truly not in love with your wife and intend to take this woman into the mansion"

Dugu Cheng slammed his fist on the table, causing all the maidservants in the room to kneel down in fear. Dugu Cheng glared at Xiao Li, "What are you This place is not for you to question me!"

Xiao Li was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes and streaming down her cheeks. Looking into the king's angry gaze, she felt a deep sense of despair. All these years, what had the princess done for the king Thinking about it now, it seemed to be nothing at all.

Ye Xi arrived just in time to hear the king scold Xiao Li. This was the first time he had seen the king so harsh to Xiao Li, his chest felt tight for a moment. Seeing the tears at the corner of Xiao Li's eyes, Ye Xi rushed forward and stood in front of Xiao Li.

"My Lord, Little Li is ignorant and asks for your forgiveness. Please pardon her recklessness."

"Get out!"

Xiao Li angrily pushed Ye Xi away. Ye Xi leaned forward, almost falling to the ground. Xiao Li's body tightened, a moment of guilt flashed through her, but it was quickly replaced by anger at the king's gaze.

"Drag her down and beat her thirty times with a board. From now on, she is not allowed to step into the West Garden without my permission, or else she will be beaten to death."

"My lord!"

Yexi knelt down with a thud, her eyes pleading.

"My lord, please spare little Li this time. She was only speaking up for the princess in anger. If you truly wish to punish someone, please strike me instead."

"Get out of my sight, I don't need your pity. It's only thirty taels; I accept the punishment." Xiaoli glared angrily at Dugu City. She really didn't expect the King to become so frightening.

Is this still the Prince that the Princess likes

"Drag him out and beat him!"

After Dugu City finished speaking, the guards outside dragged Xiao Li away and pressed her onto a board. Ye Xi watched them about to act, kneeling on the ground with tears welling up in his eyes.

"My Lord, I beg you, Little Li only spoke up for the Madam. Please forgive her this time. If you wish to punish someone, please punish me instead. I implore you, let her go."

Dugu Cheng watched Xiao Li outside. The board fell, but Xiao Li didn't say a word.

Night Xi saw that seeking out the lord was useless, so she quickly got up and ran towards Feng Ling Xi's residence.

"My Queen, save me!"

Ye Xi stumbled into the courtyard, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing Feng Lingxi, she urgently pleaded, "Your Highness, Xiao Li bumped into the Wangye and was punished by him in the West Courtyard with thirty lashes. She's currently being executed, Your Highness, please save Xiao Li."

Wind Ling's face changed abruptly, and looking at the tears swirling in Ye Xi's eyes, she dropped what she was holding and rushed towards Xiyuan. However, before she reached Xiyuan, she was stopped.

"Your Highness, the King has decreed that you are not permitted to enter the West Courtyard."

"Get out of the way!"

Feng Lingxi roared, glaring at them as they remained motionless. She drew Ye Xi's saber and held it against the guard's throat, shouting again, "I said, get out of my way!"

"Even if the Princess kills her subordinates, we cannot let her get away with it."

"Don't you think I dare"

Feng Ling Xi's anger reached its peak, she couldn't believe Du Gu Cheng would do such a thing. But now, seeing it with her own eyes, all the rage in her heart surged up. Thinking of Xiao Li suffering punishment, her grip tightened, bloodshot veins appearing on the guard's neck, but they still showed no sign of letting go.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go in."

"Let go again!"

Feng Lingxi roared, but the guards standing before her remained steadfast as Mount Tai. The long sword in Feng Lingxi's hand slashed across the guard's neck, and blood splattered instantly, shocking the other guard who watched the fallen body and retreated to the side.

Whoever stands in my way, dies!

Feng Lingxi left behind a single sentence, wielding her blood-stained sword as she strode into the West Courtyard. Ye Xi was taken aback by the sight before her, this being the first time she had ever seen the Princess kill, and under such circumstances.

"Stop!"

Feng Ling Xi stepped into the West Courtyard, and what met her eyes was Xiao Li being beaten on a bench. Hearing the Princess's voice, Xiao Li turned her head, her pale face covered in cold sweat, but she didn't utter a single word.

Dugu City saw Feng Lingxi come in, holding a blood-stained sword, and was terribly startled.

"My Lord, the Princess killed the guard stationed at the door."

A guard stepped forward to report, glanced at Feng Lingxi's blood-stained sword in her hand, and hurriedly retreated.

Feng Ling walked towards Xiao Li, looking at her who was pressed onto the bench. He looked at the blood on her buttocks, and at Xiao Li's cold sweat dripping while her face was pale and bloodless, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Let her go."

Xiaoli's guards still held on tight, glaring at Dugu City. But in the next second, they were pointed at by Feng Lingxi's sword. Tears swirled in Feng Lingxi's eyes as she looked at Xiaoli's blood-soaked body. Her heart ached like a knife twist. Dugu City knew that she treated Xiaoli like her own sister, yet he had beaten her like this

Feng Ling Xi, seeing their indifference, raised her eyes, her gaze turning as cold as frost. The long sword in her hand flashed, cutting across their arms with a whoosh. The pain caused them to release Xiao Li's hand.
