"Father, I'm fine now. Don't worry about me. It's just that I can't spend time with you these days. If I don't feel better, I'll worry about you every day .."

Behind her, Feng Yunyao snuggled into Zhou Chengdi's embrace and confided in him, while Zhou Chengdi and Feng Ziyao also spoke in a somewhat guilty tone.

A bitter smile appeared on Feng Lingyue's face. So the monarch that she called royal father did not belong to her in the first place.

"Princess Eleven, excuse me for offending you. This old servant came here under the emperor's orders to supervise as well. Please kneel here .." At the entrance of Yi Xiu Palace, Senior Servant Chun had a slightly complacent look on her face as she boasted to Feng Lingyue.

Feng Lingyue couldn't be bothered to care about this lackey, and silently kneeled down.

At this moment, the scorching sun was right above her head. As she knelt on the hard ground, her whole body was gradually feeling a scorching heat, and sweat was seeping out one after another. Some of the sweat even slipped into her eyes.

Gradually, sweat soaked his clothes, and his hair was also wet, sticking to his face.

Gradually, she could no longer hear anything. Her vision began to grow blurry. Senior Servant Chun's fiery face, those scenes she was used to, all began to sway in front of her eyes. Everything in the world was moving further and further away from her ..

She did not know how long she knelt, but her body began to ache, and her knees and legs slowly lost consciousness.

She slowly raised her head, the piercing sunlight shining into her eyes. After the scorching heat passed, her vision blurred. When she lowered her head again, she felt that she could not see anything.

"Princess, princess .." At this moment, she seemed to hear a familiar yet urgent voice — —

"Understood .." "Understood .." She opened her mouth, but her voice was so hoarse that she could not speak. The moment she opened her mouth, her throat was in pain as though it had been cut by a knife.

"It's a servant! Poor princess, why did you anger the emperor again? Who are you going to get a drink from me?" Zhili kneeled in front of Princess Eleven, holding a bowl of water with both hands and feeding it to her.

"How dare you!" But suddenly, a stern shout came crashing over. With a wave of Senior Servant Chun's hand, the bowl of water spilled all over the floor, not a drop left in Princess Eleven's mouth.

"You!" "Senior Servant Chun, don't go too far. This is Princess Eleven, she's so thirsty! Didn't you see that?" "So what if the Emperor orders you to guard? You're just a servant, you're not allowed to even drink water from a princess, what are you?"

"Pah!" All of a sudden, a slap came across his face, causing him to slant his body and fall to the ground. She raised her head, only to see Princess Thirteen, Feng Yu, standing right in front of her.

"She's not a thing. Where is that princess?"

"Princess." Zhiyi quickly kneeled down.

"This place is Lian Zhaoyi's and this princess' palace. Lian Zhaoyi is pregnant right now. A servant like you is causing a ruckus here. Now that you've caused a ruckus with my mother's concubine, can you bear the responsibility?" Feng Yang said leisurely.

Thirteenth Sister, Zhixiang, as my servant, just bring me a bowl of water. You don't have to be too fussy about it. Princess Eleven, who was kneeling on the ground, hoarsely asked while enduring the pain in her throat.

Only then did Feng Zhenyao look at Feng Lingyue, who was on the ground, and say:

"Sister Eleven, are you alright? Will kneeling hurt?"

Feng Lingyue lifted her head with some difficulty. Because of the lack of water, her lips had become dry and cracked, and they were pale. As the salty sweat fell into her mouth, she felt a wave of bitterness.

"All of you, step back .." Feng Chen Yao dismissed the rest of the mama and Gong'e, leaving only Senior Servant Chun behind, then ordered everyone to close the door of Yi Xiu Palace.

"Princess, princess .." Zhiyi was dragged outside, but he still shouted Feng Lingyue's name.

The nanny who had given her the wrest slapped her twice in the face and gagged her mouth.

"Be courteous, be courteous .." Feng Lingyue turned around and hurriedly shouted, but the door to the palace had already been closed.

"Chun mama, Sister Eleven's mouth is dry. Go get some water." Feng Tang Yao ordered.

"Yes, Princess."

Very quickly, Senior Servant Chun brought over a bowl of water. Feng Xie Yao took it over and looked at Feng Lingyue, saying, "Do you want to drink water? "I really want to, right .."

Feng Lingyue couldn't help but lick her dry lips, but didn't say anything.

Feng Tang Yao raised the bowl in his hands, and the water was poured in front of Feng Lingyue. Then, with a 'pa' sound, the bowl shattered.

Feng Tang Yao looked panicked, and said, "Ah, my hand trembled, and the water fell to the ground."

Feng Lingyue tightly pursed her lips, not speaking. Her chest rose and fell.

"Senior Servant Chun, I'm tired. Help me rest, Sister Eleven will definitely carry out Imperial Father's orders. After all, that ignorant lass, Zhi Li, has already disturbed my mother when she was making a ruckus in the Ethereal Palace. Sister Eleven doesn't want her one and only servant girl to be beaten up, fed with mute medicine, and be sent to the Concourse of the Underworld."

Feng Lingyue kneeled on the ground, tightly pursing her lips. Her two fists were placed by her side, trembling, and her sweat began to pour down.

In the past few years, although she wasn't doted on by her father, she was still the Eleventh Princess. She was always arrogant and despotic, lowering her head wherever she went to be seen by others.

In the past, if anyone dared to touch her, dared to touch her servants, dared to threaten her, she would take out her long whip and whip them fiercely. If she did not vent her anger, she would tie the rope behind her horse and with a wave of the whip, that person would drag himself three laps on the horse's field!

If things didn't go well, she still had a bow and arrow. If the thing that displeased her, she would disguise as an animal and let her shoot!

But!

She was not a real princess. She was brought back from outside the palace by the Queen Mother. This secret concerned the life and death of the Queen Mother and her family. Countless lives were taken in this secret.

Thus, she could only endure. She wasn't a princess, she wasn't a princess ..

She gritted her teeth, endured the pain in her body, endured the stabbing pain in her throat, slowly straightened her back, and knelt on the ground.

She said to herself one word at a time:

"Don't be afraid, don't panic, you've only been able to persevere for eight hours, what's so difficult about that? Don't forget, you're a person who doesn't fear the heavens or the earth!

For the sake of the Queen Mother, for the sake of the other families, for the sake of courtesy, for the sake of .. For your own little life, do not be afraid of anything, and endure it! "

She spoke to herself with determination in her eyes.

That's right, she was Ling Yue'er. She definitely wouldn't be able to beat her within eight hours!

Time slowly passed. His willpower could be infinitely strong, but his body's endurance had a limit — —

When the sun had set, she could no longer hold on. Her body limply fell to the ground, and her feet had lost all feeling. She wanted to stand up, but she could not move.

"It's time, send Princess Eleven back to Changchun Palace." She could faintly hear an ice-cold voice sounding above her head.

It was finally over. Her pale, weak face revealed a weak smile, and then her eyes slowly closed.

After an unknown period of time, she seemed to have had a very, very long dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xingli's blushing, teary face.

"Ah, princess, you are finally awake!" When the Concubine saw Feng Lingyue open her eyes, she hurriedly stood up and asked carefully, "Princess, are you alright?"

"What time is it now?" Feng Lingyue opened her mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, but she felt that her throat was swollen. She wanted to sit up, but every movement of her feet was painful, and she felt as if she was lying down.

"Princess, you fainted yesterday at the Elegance Palace. It was the Maid from the Elegance Palace who sent you back." Zhili couldn't help but wipe his tears as he recalled the miserable state Princess Eleven was in at that time.

Feng Lingyue glanced at the box on the table, and as she stared at it, she nodded towards the sky. Her throat was aching, and it was difficult to speak.

"Princess Thirteen had Chun mama deliver it for you. She said it was because your body was weak, that it was used to nourishing your body, and the medicine to soothe your throat. That's a common sight .." She wanted to say something, but after thinking about the situation she was in and fearing that the wall might have ears, she closed her mouth and said, "This servant will quietly throw it away on behalf of the princess so as to not cause you any trouble."

"No need." She said, "I've already delivered such expensive things. There's no need to throw them away, just take them to stew and give it to me to eat. In the future, there'll be plenty of suffering. How can I not make up for it?" She said with a smile that was not a smile. After saying that, smoke rose from her throat once again. Gift quickly brought over a stew of Riko water for her to drink carefully ..

"No matter what, you are a princess, it is enough to punish you once. In the future when we hide from Princess Thirteen, we won't suffer any more, so don't worry too much, Princess." "And now, don't talk anymore. Rest more and get better as soon as possible."

The greeting did not know the secret of Feng Lingyue's birth, so he naturally comforted her.

Feng Lingyue didn't say anything more. She let the man think her way. She lay back down and closed her eyes. Although she had slept through the night, she was tired. She was so tired that her entire body was exhausted.

This time, she lay on the bed for three whole days and nights before being able to walk on the ground. Her throat had finally somewhat recovered, but her voice was still hoarse.

However, when Feng Ziyao recovered, she came back again. This time, she was very straightforward with her request, and said:

"Sister Eleven, ask Xiao He to meet you."

Feng Lingyue paused, then asked, "Little Sister Thirteen, do we have to do this?"

Feng Tang Yao looked at her, her eyes unblinking as she said, "Yes, yes. If you go and ask him out, have you forgotten what I told you? It's not good for Xiao He to be with you, I can only help him if he's with me. Moreover, right now, royal father dotes on me like before.

Feng Lingyue hesitantly nodded her head.

"Right, Sister Eleven. Last time when Xiao He saw you, which piece of clothing was he wearing? "Take it over and let me wear it." Feng Ziyao blinked her big, watery eyes as she spoke.
