Chapter 21 Has this Duchess's every word gone unheard?

to be so arrogant""Fourth Royal Concubine"Hearing Xiaoli's words, the people in the wine house all looked at Feng Lingxi and whispered among themselves."So she is the fourth young lady of the General...Little Li nodded and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please rest as soon as possible. After tossing around all day, you must be very tired."

Feng Lingxi looked at the slap mark on her face, walked aside and handed her some ointment, "Take it and rub it. You should go to sleep early too, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Xiao Li's room was right next to hers, and she didn't need anyone to wait on her. Tomorrow morning there was a tough battle ahead, so how could she fight if she didn't get a good rest

"Your Highness, your servant will stay here and guard you. When Zhao Mama arrives, I'll call you."

"No, you should go back and rest."

"Your Highness," Xiao Li whispered, bowing her head. "It's actually Xiao Li who is afraid."

Wind Ling Xi looked at her timid eyes and quickly knew what she was afraid of.

"Xiao Li, remember this, in this world, ghosts are not scary, what's truly frightening is people. Go to sleep, we have another tough battle tomorrow."

Little Li bit her lip, "Then the princess should rest early, I'll go out now."

Feng Ling Xi closed the door and lay down, falling asleep quickly.

The night in the palace was not peaceful. Feng Lingxi had just fallen asleep when she heard the wind howling outside, and the windows creaking and groaning. Suddenly, a scream came from next door, and Xiao Li stumbled in.

"Your Highness, there… there's a ghost!"

Feng Lingxi got up and, seeing Xiao Li's terrified expression, grabbed her outer garment and put it on. She walked to her face and asked, "What happened"

"Your Highness, there's a ghost outside my window. It seems like the Lord..."

Nonsense.

Feng Lingxi glared and scolded in a harsh voice, "Where are there ghosts in this world Even if they exist, they are all made up by those with ulterior motives."

It seems someone doesn't want her to sleep peacefully. On this wedding night, if we don't do something, it would be a disservice to her status as the Fourth Princess Consort.

But...

A white shadow flitted past the window, and Xiaoli just happened to see it. She screamed and fainted.

Feng Lingxi stared out the window, her stunning face devoid of any fear. This Fourth Prince's mansion was truly interesting, even their master was playing along.

As Feng Lingxi opened the door and stepped out, darkness enveloped her. She couldn't see her hand in front of her face. There wasn't a single guard patrolling outside her courtyard. The biting cold made her wonder if she had been banished to a frigid palace. This treatment was truly chilling.

After walking around the perimeter, Feng Lingxi clearly felt eyes watching her. Holding the embroidery needle in her hand, a cold glint appeared on the corner of Feng Lingxi's lips. She played this game with others, fearless of being played to death.

With a whoosh, a white figure flew past her, followed suddenly by a sharp cry in the air. The white figure let out a pained scream and fell to the ground, howling in agony.

Suddenly, many torches appeared in the courtyard. Someone shouted, "Catch the assassin!"

Immediately following, the courtyard blazed with fire, encircling Feng Lingxi.

"Putting on airs and playing tricks, daring to do evil at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, bring her to me!"

Zhao MaMa's voice echoed, and with a single command, she saw a servant approach her. As the servant got closer, his face paled.

"Fourth Princess, how come it's you"

Feng Lingxi walked before Zhao Mama, looking at her cold and stern gaze, her eyes grew even colder.

"Fourth Princess, how is it you"

"Could the assassin Granny Zhao just mentioned be this Princess"

Feng Lingxi's voice was extremely cold, her beautiful eyes swept over the servant holding a torch. Just then, Zhao Mama spoke, "The old slave doesn't know that it's the Fourth Princess. Someone just reported that there is someone pretending to be a ghost in the mansion, scaring the people in the mansion. The old slave brought people here to catch them, but I don't know why, so late at night, the Fourth Princess is wearing a white dress here doing what"

Feng Ling lowered her head to look at her clothes. Most of them were white, but she was wearing a red wedding dress. How could Zhao Mamá not see it

"What Grandmother Zhao means is that this Princess is putting on a show here"

"The old slave meant no disrespect, the old slave was just curious. I wonder what the princess is doing here in the middle of the night"

Grandma Zhao was clearly not letting her go. Feng Lingxi's eyes scanned the spot where that person had just fallen, but now there was no one there.

"What does Nanny Zhao mean by that Does she think this charlatan is the one who truly possesses these powers"

Feng Lingxi glanced at her, the coldness in her eyes deepening. "This princess would like to have a good sleep, but suddenly I heard my maid scream. Seeing her barge into my room, she said there was a ghost and fainted from fright. This princess came out to see this 'ghost'. Perhaps it's the Fourth Prince After all, tonight is our wedding night, he might come back to see his new bride."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and shouted to the surrounding crowd, "Fourth Prince, if you have returned, reveal yourself to me. Let Zhaomama see you; she definitely misses you. Please come back and visit her often, don't let her miss you so much."

When Zhao Ma heard her shout like that, a chill ran down her spine. She instinctively glanced around, as if she felt eyes watching her, making her feel uneasy all over.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has been gone for days now. Shouting like this will only disturb his spirit."

Feng Lingxi casually scanned her surroundings, "You're not him, how do you know what he's thinking Perhaps he's just coming back to visit Zhao Mama again"

"Your Highness, if you continue like this, this old servant will have to tell the Queen Dowager that you are disrespecting Your Majesty."

Grandma Zhao, who was creeped out by her words, looked at Feng Lingxi with hate in her eyes. She thought that Miss Feng Si had recovered from her illness, but she didn't expect to be so sharp-tongued and difficult to deal with. She was so bold that she wasn't even afraid of ghosts and gods.

Feng Lingxi walked up to Zhao Mama, grabbing her collar and staring at her with a fierce expression. The aura she emitted caused Zhao Mama's face to change drastically. "Zhao Mama, I don't like to hear what you're saying. I just got married here and this kind of thing happened Even if the Fourth Prince isn't around, the Fourth Prince's mansion hasn't reached the point of being haunted on my wedding night, has it"

When Zhao MaMa heard this, she let out a cold snort, “Your Highness, how would an old servant know about what happened to you as soon as you entered the manor Everything was fine before this.”

"So, Grand Ma Zhao means that this is the Queen's problem If that's the case, you all stay here and keep watch. Make sure you open your eyes wide and see clearly if it's the Queen who's pretending to be a ghost."

Feng Lingxi released Zhao Mama's collar, her eyes swept over each servant in the room with a fierce gaze. Seeing that none of them paid any attention to her, she shouted angrily, "Is this how you treat your princess Are you all deaf"

The servants hastily knelt down, “We obey your order.”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this You have them all guarding here. Who will do the chores at the manor tomorrow"

"You've just married into the Duke's Manor and you treat the servants like this Do you still have any respect for the Dowager Empress" Zhao Ma Ma angrily pointed at her, indignation in her voice.

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over the twenty or so servants in the room, and she said coldly, "Zhao Ma Ma, they will all be supervised by you tomorrow. It's late, this princess is worried about your age, so I let you go back to rest. The rest of you, open your eyes wide and see clearly who is pretending to be a ghost in this mansion. If you can't find out, none of you are allowed to sleep." bitten their tongues and committed suicide, all of them dead."My Lord, he committed suicide by biting his tongue."Ye Xi stepped forward and tore off the black cloth covering one of the black-clad men...
