Chapter 1405: War Clouds Gather (Part 2)

e urgency of the situation and Xi'er's wishes, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with Dugu Yu."Fourth Royal Wife, since we are in a cooperative relationship, wouldn't you be able to cure this Ki...How is Wan'er doing these days Has she been looking for me

Feng Lingxi glanced over there and lowered her voice, asking.

Xiaoli shook her head, mentioning Wan'er made her headache.

"Your Highness may not know, but the young lady has been driving the tutor to the brink of madness these days. If it weren't for me constantly soothing him, I'm afraid he would have left long ago."

"Huh"

Hearing Xiaoli's report, Feng Lingxi looked towards the room. "What did Wan'er do"

“She just kept asking non-stop questions. After reading this article, she truly didn't understand anything and asked questions until the teacher was about to spit blood.” Xiaoli’s mind was filled with the image of the teacher clutching his chest, so angry that his beard stood on end as she spoke. Fortunately, the princess knew her limits. Every time she saw the teacher getting close to being furious, she would stop and then flatter him, soothing his anger.

"This girl."

Feng Lingxi didn't know how to explain things to Wan'er. Asking when you don't understand is indeed good, but causing the master to be questioned until he vomits blood... I'm afraid this kind of question isn't rare, right

"Your Highness, the young princess is intelligent and quick-witted. She's just a bit too eager to learn. However, I rather like her."

Feng Ling Xi responded with a voice, her mind drifting back to the dark guard Luo Li had arranged for Wan'er before. She unconsciously glanced around.

"Where is Su Yue"

The county princess disliked her always wearing a grim expression, so she ordered her to stay out of her sight. Therefore, Su Yue could only appear when the county princess was in danger, usually hanging on a certain large tree in the courtyard.

Feng Lingxi frowned, "This little girl is quite picky."

"After all, he's the future chief. There has to be some temper." Xiaoli smiled mischievously, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, you went to the post house these two days and didn't return last night. Nothing happened, right"

"I stayed overnight at Yi Pin Xiang last night. The Prime Minister fainted from anger yesterday, so the matter hasn't been resolved yet. I came back first."

"Are you dizzy"

Xiaoli heard these words, her eyes flickered, staring at the princess. Feng Lingxi explained, "It wasn't me who did it. I only told him that the Prime Minister's wife had been poisoned with a chronic poison. He was so angry that he fainted."

"What's this"

Little Li didn't quite understand and was full of questions.

"Think about it, the poison was probably given by the Madam herself. The prime minister had painstakingly sought medical treatment for decades, yet he didn't know that his wife was committing suicide slowly. When he learned the truth, do you think he could bear it"

"Was the Empress Dowager's death a suicide"

Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise, Feng Lingxi hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered a warning, "Keep your voice down." She then released Xiaoli and, seeing the shock in her eyes, said softly, "When I first heard it, I was actually about as surprised as you are."

"Why would the Chancellor's wife commit suicide if the Chancellor treated her so well"

Xiao Li was incredibly downcast. “Could it be that the Prime Minister's wife truly doesn’t love the Prime Minister, and was forced to be with him But even if that were true, there was no need to be so cruel to herself, right Especially since they already have a son.”

At first, I reacted just like you, curious why the Chancellor's wife would commit suicide. But today when we went to the inn, the Chancellor suspected I was lying. Because of this, Feng Aotien and the Chancellor argued fiercely, even causing the Chancellor to faint from anger.

"Passed out again"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Xia Li's astonished reaction. Now that she thought about it, there were indeed many suspicious points.

"Is this prime minister's health so poor He faints just like that"

Little Li mumbled, “This is too exaggerated.”

“You think it’s exaggerated, don’t you” Seeing Xiaoli nod, Feng Lingxi’s expression also became serious. “I didn’t think anything was wrong at first, but now that I think about it, this prime minister is indeed something off. He was able to arrive here after hearing the news of his wife's death from poisoning, and he stayed outside the city for several days without showing any signs of illness. Yesterday's dizziness once was due to stimulation, blood rushing up, and today is the same, but his body is very healthy.”

Feng Lingxi the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this Prime Minister was suspicious. He had arrived in Linxi County for a very short time, and he had been staying outside the city for several days. Although he explained that he didn't mean to abduct her last time, she didn't believe him.

This prime minister is definitely not as fragile as imagined.

Suddenly, a loud reprimand from the Master echoed through the room, followed by Wan'er's indignant retort. Feng Lingxi's thoughts were pulled back, and she hurried over to Wan'er.

"There is no point in teaching any further, this child is beyond hope."

I want to kill him!

The master's breath was ragged as he desperately tried to regulate it, fearing that if he couldn't catch his breath, he would die from anger.

Wan'er refused to concede defeat.

"Master, you yourself said to ask if you don't understand. Why are you scolding me now"

Wan'er retorted with displeasure, watching the master's face flush red with anger.

"Which came first, the chicken or the egg Which came first, the man or the woman"

Feng Lingxi had just reached the door when he heard this world-class difficult problem. It wasn't easy for this master to not be driven mad by Wan'er.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort of Chen."

The Master saw Feng Lingxi standing at the door at once. Her pleading eyes darted over, and he immediately pulled her in, nearly crying out.

Feng Lingxi looked at her teacher apologetically, truly feeling sorry for him. It was really tough on him.

"Mother."

Wan'er heard her mother's voice and excitedly jumped down, running to Feng Lingxi's face, tilting her little head and shouting, "Mother, when did you come back Why didn't you call Wan'er"

"Just got back a while ago, saw you and your husband taking lessons, so I didn't disturb you. What happened just now Why did you argue with your teacher"

Feng Lingxi regretted asking after she finished. If she had brought up the question just now, she would have been making things difficult for herself.

"Mother, the master said that if you don't understand, just ask. Wan'er learned to ask questions whenever she didn't understand, but the master got angry and scolded me, saying I always asked random and nonsensical questions. Mother, please give Wan'er some justice."

Feng Lingxi heard Wan'er's imposing accusation, her little face was full of indignation.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, the young lady's matter is truly a difficult one for this old man."

The master really felt that he couldn't teach the princess just by relying on his vast knowledge. This princess was simply not obedient in class, and she always had endless questions during each lesson.

"Master, thank you for your hard work. This young girl is still young and it's natural for her to be curious about everything. Please bear with her, Master."

"Mother, I just asked the teacher, which came first, the chicken or the egg, did men come before women or vice versa The teacher scolded me, saying I was asking foolish questions. I think he just doesn't know."

Waner became unhappy and accused the teacher of not being learned enough.

"My Lady, you should study the Four Books and Five Classics, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues..."

"Didn't I already learn it Besides, I'm curious why I can't ask"

The master’s head buzzed, and he bowed to the wind towards Princess Chen. “Princess Chen, please forgive this old man's lack of knowledge. I cannot continue to teach the young princess. Perhaps Princess Chen should seek someone more qualified.” intend to harm you."Feng Ling Xi remained as silent as ever, but the depths of her eyes grew colder.Within the prison cell, Yao Chu heard a noise and thought it was the clan leader again.
