Xi, "I just heard Ye Xi say that if a boulder is dropped into the valley, it will be blocked."Dugu City responded, pointing to the position on the map. "This king has prepared rolling stones on both s...Ye Xi shook her head, "Perhaps the princess has something to attend to and hasn't sent word yet."

Dugu Cheng sighed, “You say how could Xi'er be so indifferent to this king This king is her husband after all! Even just anyone else would have a higher status in her heart than me.”

"Your Highness, I also feel that the Crown Princess is not considerate enough to her." Xiaoli followed the Crown Princess. She was also like this, doing everything without telling him, and she didn't even want to think about him. When would he be able to take her home

Upon hearing Ye Xi's words, Dugu Cheng felt even more stifled.

Come out for a while, this is becoming increasingly insignificant.

"My Lord, the Princess has sent a letter."

Upon hearing the soldier's report, Dugu City immediately rose to his feet and said, "Quickly bring it to me."

Ye Xi stepped forward, took the letter and handed it to Dugu City. Seeing the King open it, his eyes almost followed into the letter to see if the Queen's letter mentioned Xiaoli.

Dugu City's face gradually became difficult to look at. Ye Xi, seeing this, hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what did the Princess say in the letter"

Nangong Huayun’s mother died from poisoning at the post station. Xi'er said in a letter that this Nangong Madam had been chronically poisoned and died suddenly at the post station. This King is going to be involved in this again.

Why

Ye Xi was puzzled, "This Nangong's wife was poisoned, and it wasn't done by us. Why are we being implicated"

Du Gu Cheng's handsome features were slightly cold, and he spoke in a low voice, "According to Nangong Huayun and Xi'er, the poison on Madam Nangong should have been given by the Prime Minister."

"The chancellor poisoned his own wife This..."

獨孤城 nodded, "This world knows that the prime minister loves his wife very much. She has been ill until now, and he has searched all over the world for famous doctors to treat her. Who would have thought that the poison was given by him."

Looking at what Xi'er wrote on top, Dugu City frowned. He worked hard for the court, suppressing rebellions and bandits, but the emperor still didn't trust him and was still thinking of getting rid of him.

"Though we spring from the same root, why rush to harm each other"

Dugu Cheng folded the letter in his hand and placed it in his bosom. A complex expression flickered in his eyes. If his father knew how much his brothers were fighting each other, he would surely be restless even in the afterlife.

"Why would the prime minister act this way His wife is his original wife. In public, he treats her so well, but behind closed doors, he poisons her for over ten years. Doesn't the prime minister's wife know"

Ye Xi truly couldn't imagine the Chancellor's thoughts; they were simply too terrifying.

Dugu Cheng let out a deep sigh, "Why would you do this How could I possibly know"

He only knew that this incident happened at the inn in Linxi County, and Xi'er was still present. It was feared that she would be implicated again.

"Master, should we go back and take a look"

"No need, Xi'er said in the letter that she can handle it and let this King focus on matters here."

獨孤城 looked at the topographic map, "You order it down, let the soldiers have a good rest, in two days up the mountain to wipe out bandits."

The news that Chen Wangfu was recruiting maids spread throughout Linxi County, and many commoners sent their daughters to try out at Chen Wangfu. This surprised Feng Lingxi somewhat, because if it wasn't for necessity, ordinary people's daughters wouldn't go to wealthy families as maids.

This time, Feng Lingxi personally selected them. Looking at the girls who had come to apply, Feng Lingxi was quite satisfied. In just one morning, she chose five maidservants. These maidservants were all peasant women, fifteen or sixteen years old, with pretty looks and quick wits.

"Your Highness, these maids are all quite clever. I think they're all very good."

After a busy morning, it was rare to see the princess smiling so happily. Xiaoli also felt happy along with her.

Here is the translation of your provided text, without the HTML tags: (The content you provided was empty.)Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Feng Lingxi nodded, watching the maidservant playing with Wan'er, "I hope all those chosen this time are trustworthy."

"All of them are commoners who willingly sent their daughters to the palace to serve. As a slave, I feel that this is all thanks to the Duchess's kindness and benevolence towards the people on a daily basis. The people are grateful."

"There's no need to put it so grandly. I haven't done anything. As long as they do their jobs well, I won't mistreat them. Right now, find a capable steward to manage the manor, and I'll rest easy."

Feng Lingxi's headache intensified when she thought about the candidate for housekeeper. If Tian Xiaomi hadn't acted this way, Feng Lingxi would have been happy to give her the position of housekeeper. However, now she dared not.

"My Queen, Young Master Lu has arrived."

The guard at the gate came to report, Feng Lingxi was about to tell them to come in when she heard Lu Nian's voice.

"Slow down, hey, wait for me."

A girl in a pink dress walked over quickly. She had stunning features, a face the size of a palm, and long, narrow phoenix eyes. Her imperious and willful expression must be Princess Xi Gu Guo that Lu Nian spoke of.

"Wait for me."

Lu Nian quickly caught up to the girl, panting heavily as he grabbed her.

"You didn't hear me waiting for you."

"What are you glaring at Do you think you can intimidate me"

As expected of a princess from the ancient Western Kingdom, Feng Lingxi observed that this princess carried herself with an air of authority. Following her was a long line of maidservants and eunuchs, each panting heavily, it seemed following her was quite arduous.

"Sister, this is Princess Qingfeng of Xi Gu Country."

Wind Lingxi bowed her head towards Princess Qingfeng of Xigu, smiling and greeting her, "Feng Lingxi, the princess consort of Dachu, greets Princess Qingfeng of Xigu."

Hearing Feng Lingxi's self-address, Princess Qingfeng impatiently waved her hand and sized her up from head to toe. Her eyes were full of displeasure. "Aren't you surnamed Lu You call yourself Feng Lingxi You should be calling yourself Lu Lingxi."

Feng Lingxi, hearing Qingfeng Princess's provocative words, calmly said, "I have not acknowledged the Lu family, so why can't I be called Feng Lingxi"

"This princess has heard, your foster father and you have long since severed ties. Since you are the daughter of the Lu family anyway, this princess will call you Lu Lingxi."

Upon hearing the princess call her that, Lu Nian frowned. This Lu Lingxi wasn't a pleasant name at all.

"If Princess Qingfeng doesn't like calling me Feng Lingxi, she can also call me the Crown Princess of Chen."

"I won't."

Princess Qingfeng glared at Feng Lingxi, sizing her up from head to toe. "She is indeed prettier than the average girl, but she's not as heavenly as they said. Besides, she looks so weak and helpless, how could anyone find her likeable"

Feng Lingxi listened as Princess Qingfeng listed her faults, especially this one uttered softly and weakly, with a furrowed brow. She looked so soft and weak in the eyes of others

"Princess Qingfeng has traveled a long way, why not sit down and have a cup of tea."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, then turned to Xiao Li and instructed, "Xiao Li, serve tea."

Little Li glared at the willful princess with displeasure, then walked away.

"Princess Qingfeng, please."

Feng Lingxi greeted Princess Qingfeng to the front hall, but she was refused.

"Just here will do, we'll all have to come out later anyway."

Feng Lingxi listened, smiling, "Since the princess insists, then let the princess have it her way."

Princess Qingfeng saw that Feng Lingxi was so easy to talk to, and she didn't get angry even when she spoke to her like that. She felt very unhappy in her heart.

"Aren't you afraid of this princess They all say you are difficult to deal with. Why are you so meek when you see me"eren't for being discovered now, she wouldn't want to face her past self.“I dare not presume to guess Your Highness's intentions.”"Lan Zhan, do you still remember what you said to me when we were youn...
