ght for me to just leave like this Think about Lord Liu, he's been working himself to the bone lately, hasn't he He's tireless and selfless. Even though he's a parent official to the people, if he tho..."Fourth Master, for the sake of your Fourth Madam, you slander Zhou'er's innocence in such a way. How can you be so heartless"

Ping Xi Wang's face had turned pale, devoid of any blood color. Luo Ju Zhou was completely motionless, staring at Du Gu Cheng's cold and ruthless handsome face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She lost, she lost to Dugu City.

She never imagined that for Feng Lingxi, Dugu City would disregard her purity and openly declare everything in front of everyone, regardless of whether she was innocent or not. Once Dugu City said so, she was essentially condemned.

“Your Highness, I am not favoring Xi'er. I am merely stating the truth. It is Luo County Princess who has brought this matter before the Empress Dowager today, slandering Xi'er. Yesterday, she even poisoned Xi'er and schemed to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Her intentions are vicious. Your Highness should investigate this thoroughly so as not to implicate the Pingxi王府.”

Dugu City's words were sharp and merciless, openly revealing Luo Juzhou's actions, leaving her with no chance to defend herself.

Luo Ju Zhou looked at Dugu City, her face pale and bloodless, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes, she laughed miserably.

She shouldn't beg, nor should she believe this man would have a shred of pity for her. What he did was truly ruthless and merciless.

His gentleness could be given to Feng Lingxi, but he could not give it to her.

She didn't understand, where was she inferior to Feng Lingxi In terms of appearance, talent, or household skills, she was in no way worse than Feng Lingxi. However, Duguo City was unwilling to marry her, and even refused to let her enter the house.

"Miss Luo, will you explain and refute what the Fourth Prince said"

Empress Dowager Cen spoke, and King Pingxi saw Luo Juzhou's cruel smile directed at Dugu City. He anxiously cried out, "Boat-er, you quickly tell the Empress Dowager, this is not true."

Luo Juzhou looked at Dugu City, ignoring Wang Pingxi.

"City brother, I only ask you one question, if there was no Feng Lingxi, would you marry me"

"No."

Dugu City's answer was concise and fast, leaving Luo Juzhou feeling suffocated. This answer was truly cruel. She shouldn't have expected anything, nor should she have softened her heart. If she had just killed them all, wouldn't there be no trouble now

"Father, Zhou'er is unfilial."

Lu Juzhou looked at King Pingxi, tears welling up in her eyes, streaming down uncontrollably. Suddenly, a voice came from her mouth, and Lu Juzhou's lips parted. King Pingxi rushed over immediately, grabbing her and supporting Lu Juzhou's collapsing body, shouting helplessly, "Zhou'er."

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Lady Luo of Luoyang has committed suicide by biting her tongue."

Feng Lingxi watched as Luo Juzhou breathed her last. Seeing Empress Cen's gesture, Feng Lingxi walked over and felt Luo Juzhou's pulse. She stood up and told the empress, "It's too late."

"Fourth Princess, are you satisfied"

Ping Xi Dynasty's voice boomed, "I truly underestimated you. Such a cruel heart! What did Zhou'er do to deserve this"

Feng Lingxi glared coldly at King Pingxi, "King Pingxi, the loss of your beloved daughter, this Queen can understand. But if you spout such blood-curdling accusations, I advise you to investigate thoroughly why Princess Luoyang has come to this state."

"Your Majesty Empress Dowager, although Lady Luo of the Capital is pitiful, she has used her thoughts wrongly, no wonder people think this way."

Dugu City looked at King Pingxi, "Furthermore, if it weren't for Lady Luo of the Luo Family giving birth to so many incidents in the Fourth Prince’s Residence and complaining to the Empress Dowager, there wouldn't be the standoff we have today. If she hadn't done it, why would she bite her tongue and commit suicide, burying the truth"

Pingxi Wang had nothing to say in response to Duguo City's interrogation. Although he knew it was Zhou'er's fault, Zhou'er was already dead, and they still held this against him. How could he possibly swallow his anger

"Prince of the West, I gave her every opportunity, it was she who didn't cherish them. Don't blame anyone else."

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Queen Cen looked at Feng Lingxi like this, this matter had already been settled, this Luoju Zhou was indeed too much. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

"What opportunity did the Fourth Princess give her If the Fourth Princess could let Zhou'er marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, how could she..."

Before Pingxi Wang could finish his words, Feng Lingxi sharply rebuked him.

"Prince Pingxi, why must I marry her off to the Fourth Prince's Residence for her If she were capable of understanding, would she have bitten her tongue and committed suicide It is you who educated Princess Luoyun in this way; you are the true murderer."

Feng Lingxi's face was icy cold. "What's more, she gave her hand in marriage to Prince Su, so she shouldn't have gone to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and said such embarrassing things. Does King Pingxi think Luo Juzhou's actions are right In the end, is it all my fault"

"Come here, summon the imperial physician."

Empress Dowager Cen spoke, and King Pingxi was frightened. He hastily pleaded, "Empress Dowager, since things have come to this with the prince, please stop here. Don't let him die and become infamous."

"If you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility."

Empress Dowager Cen did not agree to King Pingxi's request. Imperial Physician Xuan examined Luo Juzhou, and the palace maids confirmed that Luo Juzhou was no longer a virgin and was two months pregnant. The discovery shocked everyone.

Feng Lingxi didn't expect that Lu Juzhou was already pregnant. And her suicide by biting her tongue just now seemed to have planned for the aftermath.

Two months prior, that is, after Luojùzhou was betrothed.

No one knows who the child in Luo Juzhou's belly belongs to. The Empress Dowager was furious because King Pingxi concealed this matter, and she punished him by stripping him of his title as prince and demoting him to commoner status.

From one day to the next, Pingxi Wangfu fell into disarray. This caused much discussion among the court officials. Both Pingbei Wang and Pingshan Wang were summoned to the palace. This act of enfeoffment was a serious warning to both Pingxi Wang and Pingbei Wang.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng were also the subject of much discussion after this incident, becoming the talk of the town. Many people understood Feng Lingxi's actions, but many others felt she was too arrogant and her disregard for Luo Juzhou's face led to his suicide by biting his tongue.

Feng Lingxi didn't think she had done anything wrong. This Luo Juzhou biting her tongue to commit suicide was entirely her own doing. The only thing Feng Lingxi couldn't figure out was why Luo Juzhou would have the poison of Youdie Lan.

However, the antidote for this ghost orchid is real. After Feng Lingxi took it, she was cured and continued to research the antidote for Luoshuang flower.

When Luo Juzhou died, Su Wang's marriage was canceled. Dugu Su only said that it would be postponed and discussed later. The Emperor compensated him for this incident and agreed to his request.

Life seemed to have calmed down again.

"My Queen, I have found out."

Xiao Li leaned into Feng Ling Xi's ear and whispered a few words. Feng Ling Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Wu Yan standing beside them.

"Xiao Li said, 'I found out who's behind Luo Ju Zhou.'"

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, a hint of coldness within them, and said faintly, "But it would be quite troublesome"

"Dugu Xiu."

Li Wuyan frowned, "Is it him"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I didn't expect him to be so persistent. If I'm not mistaken, the father of Luo Juzhou's child is also him." This Dugu Xiu was indeed capable. Now that he had disappeared, he was still secretly causing trouble.

"Now I suspect the person behind Feng Yu Xi's back is most likely Dugu Xiu."

"Behind the back of Wind and Rain, it wasn't Dugu Xiu."

Dugu Cheng walked in, followed by Luoli who he hadn't seen for a long time.on to find out about her and her mother's connection. What a cunning fellow! If it weren't for her quick wit, she would have been tricked.Lu Nian was right, this is a time when there should be no mer...
