Chapter 87 [87] Absolutely a disaster

In the room, Feng Lingyun's voice was filled with deep fear. Her eyes were closed, but she begged for mercy over and over again.

"Big sister, Yun'er knows she is wrong. Can you please let Yun'er go?"

"Yun'er no longer dares to get close to the Crown Prince. Yun'er admits that she loves the Crown Prince very much."

"Woo woo~~ Big sister, please don't throw Yun'er into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, okay?"

"Yun'er only asks big sister to give Yun'er a quick death!"

Feng Lingyun struggled violently, as if she was being bitten by a group of snakes. Her expression looked so helpless.

Gong Yixuan's heart sank to the bottom. Feng Lingyun was bullied like this by Feng Lingxue when he couldn't see her. It was all his fault.

"Yun'er!!!" After Madam Feng and the Queen entered the room and saw this scene, they felt extremely distressed and exclaimed in unison.

At that moment, the Queen Mother wanted to kill Feng Lingxue. She felt that keeping Feng Lingxue would be an absolute disaster.

Madam Feng wanted to send Feng Lingxue far away, away from the center of the power vortex in Shengjing. That was the best she could do for Feng Lingxue.

"Shangguan Qingwan, now that things have come to this, I might as well be honest with you. I will never let a vicious woman like Feng Lingxue marry into the East Palace."

The Queen looked at Madam Feng coldly. In the past, Shangguan Qingwan held the secret letter in her hand and threatened her, restricting her from doing anything. But things were different now.

Shangguan Qingwan no longer had the amulet, and Liancheng Mingzhu was the queen, who was high above everyone else. How could she tolerate Feng Lingxue's viciousness and continue to harm her own sister over and over again and do nothing?

"Your Majesty, calm down. This time, I will never protect Xue'er again. If it is found out that she is the one who did it, I only ask Your Majesty to spare her life."

Madam Feng quickly knelt down and begged for mercy for Feng Lingxue. She was the daughter that he and she truly loved, and the only evidence that they had loved each other. No matter what, she would protect her and keep her alive.

"Hmph! I'll give her two options. One is to live out her remaining life with a green lamp and an ancient Buddha. The other is to give her a cup of poisoned wine or a white silk to end her life herself."

"Shangguan Qingwan, you should know that among all the things she has done, which one is worthy of forgiveness?"

The Queen felt distressed when she saw the scars on Feng Lingyun's body. For some reason, she felt particularly pity for Feng Lingyun. That pity seemed to come from the depths of her soul, and she just wanted to treat her well unconditionally.

"I know my crime." Madam Feng didn't dare to say a word. It was all because of her negligence that Feng Lingxue made mistakes again and again. Now it was irreversible.

Madam Feng saw how the Crown Prince cared for Yun'er. As a mother, how could she bear to hurt her kind-hearted younger daughter for the sake of her eldest daughter?
"Why don't you deal with Feng Lingxue right away?" The Queen was furious and kicked the tea bowl that Mother Huo brought away. She had never lost her composure like this before.

Madam Feng lowered her eyes, making it difficult to see her emotions, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Your Highness, I will obey the Queen's order."

Immediately afterwards, Madam Feng gritted her teeth, turned around and went to the ancestral hall, but she bumped into Feng Xun who was following behind.

"My dear, the Queen Mother has decreed that Xue'er must either spend the rest of her life with a green lamp and an ancient Buddha, or commit suicide with a cup of poisoned wine and a piece of white silk."

Madam Feng, knowing that this matter could not be concealed, had tears in her eyes. She hoped that Feng Xun could plead for Feng Lingxue, but she forgot how heartless Feng Xun was.

"Madam, the Empress has given the order, you just have to obey it. Could it be that at this point, you still want to protect that evil girl? Do you want to sacrifice the entire Feng family?" Feng Xun's eyes turned cold, and Madam Feng was so scared that her heart sank instantly.

"Got it. I'll arrange for someone to send Xue'er to Shuiyue Temple in Shengjing."

Madam Feng reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Thinking of the person that man left behind, she felt a little relieved. At worst, she could ask him to escort Xue'er to Shuiyue Temple and protect her for half a year.

"Yes, thank you ma'am. I'll go see how Yun'er is doing." Feng Xun was not even willing to see Feng Lingxue off. In his heart, Feng Lingxue was now a discarded pawn.

Madam Feng was very unwilling, but she could do nothing about Feng Xun. It was Feng Lingxue who did something wrong. She just felt sorry that the spiritual roots in Feng Lingxue's body did not play a substantial role.

At this moment, Feng Lingyun fell into a coma, but she said something that shocked the Queen and the Crown Prince.

"Mother, Yun'er knows that you favor Big Sister. Yun'er really didn't mean to see you and Big Sister take away Feng Lingyan's spiritual roots. Yun'er dare not tell anyone."

"Wow~~~Feng Lingyan is so pitiful. She lost her parents and couldn't even keep her own spiritual roots."

"But mother, you only have my elder sister as your daughter, why do you always stick to her in everything? Isn't Yun'er your biological daughter?"

Feng Lingyun seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, but the words she said made the Queen's face change suddenly.

The queen paced back and forth, her eyes moving rapidly, and it was obvious that she was thinking about something important.

"Mother!!!" Gong Yixuan knew the Queen's temper too well. He was worried about Feng Lingxue's fate. He was even more worried that his mother would say that she would let Feng Lingxue go and give her a chance to live, but would actually send someone to execute her in secret.

"Xuan'er, go find Feng Xun. I have something to discuss with him." The queen made a decision quickly. Since Feng Lingxue's spiritual roots were obtained by taking Feng Lingyan away from her, she is useless now. Wouldn't it be a waste to give them to her?
According to what the Queen thought, the Heavenly Spiritual Root should be given to Feng Lingyun. After all, Feng Lingyun was the best candidate for the Crown Princess. She had already done Shangguan Qingwan a great favor by not replacing her with other noble ladies from aristocratic families.

"Mother, Xue'er's crime does not deserve death." Gong Yixuan wanted to plead for Feng Lingxue because she had once been pregnant with a child for him. However, he knew very well that his plea this time would only hasten Feng Lingxue's death.

"Shut up! It's because you've been protecting her, otherwise she would have died long ago. She has repeatedly challenged my bottom line, and this time she even threw Yun'er into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave."

"Is this something a human being could do?"

The Queen's face turned pale. She didn't expect that even after all this, Gong Yixuan was still protecting Feng Lingxue.

As soon as Feng Xun walked in from outside the courtyard, he saw Gong Yixuan being scolded by the Queen. He was a little confused for a moment. Should he go in or retreat?

Unexpectedly, the sharp-eyed queen saw Feng Xun coming, and she immediately looked at Feng Xun with a smile on her face: "Minister Feng, I have something important to discuss with you. How about I lend you my hand to talk for a moment?"

The Queen knew Feng Xun's temper very well. He only cared about which daughter was more valuable and would never favor Feng Lingxue. After all, Feng Lingxue was now a useless child.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so rude. How about we stay in the side room?"

Feng Xun wiped his sweat frantically, feeling a little flattered. The Queen had never been kind to him.
