”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.”
