Chapter 83 [83] My heart is broken
"Qingyan, do you want to teach me how to do things?"
Feng Xiaotian stared at Qing Yan with unfriendly eyes. He had always disliked Qing Yan and felt that when Qing Yan looked at him, the look in his eyes was clearly contempt. He was a real man who had marched and fought in battles all his life, so how could he lose to such a young boy?
"Qing Yan doesn't dare, he just wants to remind General Feng that if you push them too far, they will definitely attack you."
"Your Majesty and Miss Feng San are not in Shengjing at the moment, and Qingyan cannot be with General Feng at all times, so your safety becomes a problem."
Qing Yan was very conflicted. He didn't understand why His Majesty would arrange for him to protect this stubborn old man. Whatever he said to him would be like talking to a deaf person.
"Alright, alright, I understand. I will be careful."
Feng Xiaotian couldn't stand Qing Yan mentioning Feng Lingyan. He hadn't seen Ah Yan for many days and was a little worried, but he didn't know that danger was about to befall him.
"Yes, Qing Yan thanks General Feng for his consideration." Even though Qing Yan looked down on Feng Xiaotian in his heart, he never dared to show it on his face.
Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly and walked away.
Qingyun walked out from the darkness and kindly reminded Qingyan: "Qingyan, your Majesty and the future princess have a very good relationship. You have to put aside your prejudice. If she is really who you think she is, why would your Majesty treat her differently?"
"Have you forgotten that in all these years, no woman has ever approached His Majesty?"
Qingyun saw many things clearly and didn't want his good brother to do anything wrong.
Qing Yan was slightly stunned, frowning: "I'll try my best."
At that moment, Qing Yan's mind flashed with the scene of the day when Yun Yao and Gong Yanchen broke up, and he felt sad in his heart.
In Qing Yan's heart, the former Goddess Yun Yao was the most suitable match for His Majesty.
Especially the love that the Supreme Goddess Yun Yao had for His Majesty, they saw it all. Unlike Feng Lingyan, she was just a lowly woman from the human world. What could she bring to His Majesty?
"It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure you do it. Qingyan, don't forget that the Lord has his own reasons for doing things. As his subordinates, obedience is the most basic thing for us."
Qingyun was very worried when he saw Qing Yan's defiant look. He knew Gong Yanchen's temper best, and he also knew that Feng Lingyan was not as incompetent as they saw. Many times, people are also good at disguising themselves.
"Okay." Qing Yan was stunned for a moment. He saw Qing Yun looking at him worriedly, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and responded softly.
On the other side, Feng Lingxue and Feng Lingyun were carried back to their respective courtyards. Their conditions were completely different.
Feng Lingxue was indeed punished, but because Feng Lingyun took over the punishment later on, she felt much more relaxed at the moment.
On the other hand, Feng Lingyun's condition was much worse. The whippings had bruised her flesh, leaving her back bloody. However, when Madam Feng and Feng Xun found out about it, they felt even more distressed for Feng Lingyun. On the contrary, Feng Lingxue, who was also punished but with a lighter punishment, was completely ignored by them.
Feng Xun and Madam Feng, who were holding on, gritted their teeth and endured the discomfort, and came to Feng Lingyun's courtyard, where they heard Feng Lingyun's maid Lianxiang, choking with sobs, speaking up for Feng Lingyun.
"Fifth Miss, the eldest lady is too cruel. She knew that you were also punished, but she actually had the heart to let you take the punishment for her."
"Wuwu~~~~Miss Fifth, your back is all bloody. I will apply medicine on you right now. Please bear with it."
"I will be gentle, Fifth Miss. I feel sorry for you." Lianxiang's choked voice made Feng Xun and Madam Feng even more worried about Feng Lingyun. They hurriedly propped themselves up and walked in.
Feng Xun and Madam Feng, who had just entered the room, saw Feng Lingyun's back, which was already covered in blood. They didn't dare to look at it anymore. Feng Xun, with tears in his eyes, turned around and walked out of the room, punched the wall hard, and made a decision in his heart.
"Madam, please take good care of Yun'er. I'll be back soon." Feng Xun left in a hurry. He took out the Guiyuan Pill that he had bought at a high price and was originally intended for Feng Lingxue to heal her injuries, and gave it directly to Feng Lingyun.
At this moment Feng Xun felt that Feng Lingxue had not yet married, but she treated Feng Lingyun like this. If she got married, she would definitely use her status as the Crown Princess to suppress Yun'er in everything.
Madam Feng responded and hurried to see Feng Lingyun.
Feng Lingyun heard the footsteps of Madam Feng and Feng Xun, and she deliberately scolded Lianxiang: "Lianxiang, don't say that about my elder sister. She just lost her unborn child, and as soon as she returned home, she was punished by grandfather. If she is really punished, she will definitely not be able to hold on during the wedding."
"I am her sister, and it is my duty to take her punishment. We are sisters, and if we don't protect each other, how can we expect others to do the same?"
"Don't ever say something like that again, or don't blame me for selling you out."
Feng Lingyun seemed to be biting her lips in order to finish her words.
Lianxiang was so frightened that her hand trembled and she accidentally touched the injured part of Feng Lingyun. She cried out in pain but tried hard not to cry, but tears had already filled her eyes.
Seeing Feng Lingyun like this, Madam Feng's heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of arrows. After comparing the two daughters, the result was too obvious. Madam Feng's disappointment in Feng Lingxue reached its extreme.
"Fifth Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who deserves to die. My hand trembled and I hurt you. I deserve to die!"
Lianxiang was so frightened that her body was shaking violently. Based on Feng Lingyun's previous temper, she would have had Lianxiang severely punished. At the very least, she would have been severely beaten, and at the worst, she would have been sold directly.
"Lianxiang, help me apply the medicine quickly, and then help me take care of the wound and put on my clothes, so that my father and mother won't worry when they see it."
Feng Lingyun seemed to be in great pain, and each word she spoke was intermittent and difficult.
Madam Feng could no longer hold back her tears. She choked and cried, "Yun'er, you silly girl, do you want to make your mother die of grief?"
"You were so badly injured, why did you take the punishment on behalf of your elder sister? How could you be so stupid?"
Madam Feng regretted treating Feng Lingyun as a chess piece. Only then did she realize that Feng Lingyun was so sensible that it made her feel distressed.
"Mother, my elder sister lost her child and almost lost her position as Crown Princess. Although Yun'er was unintentional in these incidents, they were indeed caused by Yun'er."
"Not to mention being punished for Big Sister, even if it means dying for Big Sister, Yun'er is willing."
It seemed that Feng Lingyun could no longer hold back her tears, and they rolled down in big drops, breaking Madam Feng's heart.
Madam Feng stepped forward quickly and took over Lianxiang's work: "Silly girl, it's all mother's fault. Don't worry, soon, those who hurt you will suffer retribution, and none of them can escape."
Thinking that Feng Lingyan was still enjoying herself outside and that Master Yikong had come to the capital, waiting for her to come back and deal with her, she hated Feng Lingyan so much.
