Chapter 867: Falling Frost Flower 57

rom other women. This king has never met a woman who dares to be so strong and dismissive towards him."獨孤城 frowned, thinking about her words just now. He felt increasingly dissatisfied. After all, he...Feng Lingxi glanced at Luo Juzhou and truthfully said, “Empress Dowager, there is indeed such a thing.”

When the King of Pingxi heard this, he was both excited and angry. He hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager, “Empress Dowager, look, the Fourth Princess has admitted it.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Pingxi Wang's impassioned speech and smiled.

"What's the hurry, Prince Pingxi This princess has always adhered to the principle of 'don't provoke others unless provoked'. Why would I poison Lady Luo Shouldn't you ask your precious daughter first"

Wind Ling's words had barely fallen when Luo Juzhou hurriedly said, "Fourth Princess, why would you do this to me I know I shouldn't have thought about marrying Cheng Gege, but you can't try to kill me! I'm going to marry the Duke of Su."

Luo Juzhou cried out, his expression of grievance truly making people feel heartbroken just by looking at him.

Feng Lingxi couldn't help but applaud her, praising, "Miss Luo, you are truly a skilled actress. This princess originally intended to leave some face for you, but since this is the case, I might as well tell you the truth."

Feng Ling Xi's words made Luo Ju Zhou's face turn pale, but soon his eyes became firm.

"Your Majesty, County Princess Luo visited Fourth Prince's Residence yesterday. She came to pay respects to my mother and chatted with her happily. I thought she had come out of old feelings and did not guard against her. However, County Princess Luo held my hand affectionately and spoke to me for a long time before leaving. Afterwards, I suddenly felt dizzy and saw an icy blue flame mark on my wrist."

Empress Cen frowned, "What do you mean by that, Fourth Princess"

Ping Xi Wang's face darkened as well.

"The Fourth Royal Consort is taking things too far, wouldn't she be saying that Zhou'er poisoned you"

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Juzhou, lifting the sleeve on her wrist to reveal the mark of flames. Luo Juzhou's eyes visibly panicked.

She had given Feng Lingxi the antidote, how could she still not take it This poison, as long as you take the antidote, it will disappear instantly.

"Has the Empress Dowager ever seen this poison"

The Empress Dowager Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, "I have never seen such a poisonous mark before."

"This poison is called the Ghost Butterfly Orchid, a poison from beyond the pass."

Lu Ju Zhou panicked, Feng Ling Xi wasn't supposed to know about this poison! How could she know about it And everyone said that this poison was extremely rare, Feng Ling Xi couldn't possibly know about it.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Juzhou's flustered eyes, and the smile on her lips became even brighter.

"It seems I was right. This poison is indeed from the Ghost Orchid, a toxin from the wilderness. I believe I don't need to say more, King Pingxi should know the origin of this poison."

The King of the Western Plains looked at Luo Juzhou, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Boat Child, was this poison really your doing"

Luo Juzhou knelt down with a thud, "Father, you don't even believe your own daughter The Fourth Princess Consort is skilled in medicine. Her reputation as a poison doctor is well-deserved. Father, do you think she wouldn't be able to create such a poison"

"Poison Doctor"

Feng Lingxi was surprised to hear the title, but she smiled and said, “I never expected to be given the title of 'Poison Doctor.' I didn't even know about it. I should thank Lord Luo for bestowing this honor upon me.”

Luòjū zhōu looked at Fēng Língxī, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Fourth Royal Wife, why must you treat me this way I've already said that I won't compete with you for City Brother. I truly only wanted to visit City Brother and Lady Shu Tai to pay my respects. They have been so kind to me. Is it too much to ask that you allow this"

"Well said."

Wind Lingxi admired him greatly, "You really surprised me, Princess Luo. Since yesterday's events are over, we should talk about what we said here today, shouldn't we"

Feng Ling's words had barely fallen when Luo Juzhou's tears flowed even harder. She kowtowed to Empress Cen, "Empress Dowager, I know my status is humble. I don't have the eloquence of the Fourth Princess Consort, nor can I speak against her as well as she does. If the Fourth Princess Consort must say these things about me, this humble servant can only show my sincerity with death."

When Luo Ju Zhou finished speaking, she stood up and was about to bump into the pillar beside her. Seeing this, King Pingxi rushed over and grabbed her, “Zhou’er, don’t! Father trusts you, Father trusts you.”

Feng Lingxi looked coldly at Luo Juzhou and King Pingxi. If Luo Juzhou really wanted to die to prove his loyalty, how could he fail to pass

True or false.

"Your Majesty, it would be better to let Princess Luo have her way." Feng Lingxi spoke, King Pingxi glared angrily at Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Royal Highness, how can you be so cruel Where did Zhou'er offend you that you want to put her to death"

Feng Lingxi smiled, the coldness in her eyes made Luo Juzhou feel a little flustered, and the empress dowager remained silent.

"Lord Pingxi, would you know what happened to Miss Luo last night As Miss Luo's father, surely Lord Pingxi would know if something had occurred to her"

"What does the Fourth Royal Consort mean by this"

Prince Pingxi looked at Luo Juzhou, she was starting to make a scene again.

"Lady Luo, why don't you tell your father that he's going to seek death or life At least let him know that your death was to protect the Pingxi Wangfu."

Feng Lingxi's words caused both Pingxi Wang and Luo Juzhou's faces to change, especially Luo Juzhou. She never expected Feng Lingxi to come up with such a scheme.

"Fourth Princess Consort, what do you mean by this How did it involve protecting the Pingxi Manor" Even Empress Dowager Cen felt that something was amiss. Feng Lingxi wouldn't have said this without reason.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Juzhou, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you should know that Lady Luo came to the residence today to find Lord Dugu for a reason. She told my husband and me that she lost her innocence last night and asked us to help her break off the engagement. Since Lady Luo has come to see Your Majesty today, it might be best to bring this matter up."

When Luo Juzhou heard this, his face turned pale, and he immediately retorted.

"Fourth Royal Consort, why would you slander me like this You even dare to touch my innocence! With such viciousness, don't you fear Empress Dowager punishing you for your offense"

"Princess Luo is truly an actress. If it weren't for this king, wouldn't Xi'er have been trapped to death in Shou'an Palace today and be defamed by you"

Dugu Cheng walked in and bowed to the Empress Dowager, "Subject pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

"Greetings to the Four Kings, no formalities required."

Upon seeing Dugu City's sudden appearance, both Feng Lingxi and Luo Juzhou were astonished. They hadn't expected Dugu City to come at all.

"How did you get here"

Du Gu Cheng walked to Feng Ling Xi's side and heard Feng Ling Xi ask him.

It was the Empress Dowager who summoned him.

Dugu Cheng said in a low voice, a smile played on his face. Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen in surprise, she really didn't expect the Empress to summon Dugu Cheng.

“Since this involves the Fourth Prince’s Manor, I have also summoned the Fourth Prince. After all, this matter originated with him. I hope that today, in my presence, you can clarify everything and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Luo Juzhou's face turned as pale as a sheet, he couldn't believe it, they actually had such a trick up their sleeve.

Even with all her eloquence, she could not change this fact.

"Fourth Lord, you just agreed with the Fourth Princess Consort, saying that Lady Luo's innocence has been destroyed."

"Your Majesty Empress Dowager," Dugu Cheng bowed, "Whether or not Lady Luo's chastity is truly as she claims, I dare not make a judgment. However, today when Lady Luo came to my residence, she did tell me that her chastity was gone and asked me and Xi'er to help her find a way out of the engagement." better."Well, take care of yourself and shout if you need anything."Feng Lingxi got up and instructed someone to take care of Xiao Li before returning to rest. Dugu Cheng had been silent since yester...
