C549 Visit xiao he (2/2)
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.
