Chapter 357: Revenge 2
Cheng in full armor striding towards her. His body was stained with blood, but when he saw her, a smile appeared on his handsome face."Xier, this king is back."Feng Ling Xi scrutinized him. "Are you i..."After entering the palace, you must be careful in everything. The Empress Dowager has many eyes and ears. No matter what, you must always be careful and never act impulsively, understand"
Dugu Cheng reminded, holding Xi'er's hand, he really couldn't bear to let go. He knew she had her own thoughts and he couldn't stop her.
Fei Lingxi responded with a nod, meeting the worry in his eyes. "I won't act recklessly," she said, her voice calm. "After all, my actions this time involve too many people. Even if it weren't for myself, I have to consider you all. I will think carefully."
"With your word, I can rest assured sending you into the palace."
It's so hard to part with her, but she has to be sent to the Empress Dowager's side. From now on, he still has to pretend to dislike her and not want to marry her. Just thinking about it makes him feel very painful.
Feng Lingxi saw that Dugu City was sitting there without moving, so she poured him a cup of tea. Dugu City took it and drank a sip, then put it down, still showing no intention of leaving.
"Xi'er, could I please stay tonight"
He wanted to stay with her. Seeing the dodging look in Xi'er's eyes, Dugu City hurriedly explained, "After this attack, it will be difficult for me to meet you even if I want to. I promise, I really just stayed to accompany you, there is no other meaning."
Perhaps Feng Lingxi didn't think too much about it, the more he explained, the more suspicious Feng Lingxi became of his motives.
But, whatever. They are husband and wife, so what if they sleep together
"Alright, don't let anyone find out. Leave early tomorrow."
Dugu Cheng nodded happily and hurriedly stepped forward to help her adjust her clothes. Feng Lingxi looked at his actions, and Dugu Cheng quickly explained, "I'm just helping you adjust your clothes."
"I'll do it myself."
The esteemed Wangye dressing her If this were to get out, who knows how they would spread it...
The two of them lay down naturally. Dugu City stared at Feng Lingxi and didn't make any other moves. The silly smile on his face made Feng Lingxi laugh and cry. Stayed behind, would he be this happy
"Xi'er, it might take two or three days for you to enter the palace. These few days, you have to watch your own actions and find a way to tell your mother-in-law that the plan has changed. You must let her know, otherwise... Also, you still need to continue going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to look for me. Only if I get annoyed enough will I be able to enter the palace."
“I know what to do.”
獨孤城囑咐了幾句，風淩兮含糊應聲，獨孤城擰眉，起身側臥，看著已經睡著的小兒，輕輕將她摟進懷中，擁她入睡。
After a good night's sleep, Feng Lingxi woke up to find that Duguo City was no longer by her side. Getting up and washing up, she saw Xiaoli waiting outside the door. Seeing her get up, Xiaoli rushed forward, "Your Highness, you're awake"
Feng Lingxi nodded, glanced around. At this point, the people at the inn were still asleep, and the sky had just begun to lighten.
"When the Lord left, he told me to take good care of the Madam."
When did he leave
Little Li saw the Queen's eyes filled with reluctance, "It'll only take a cup of tea."
"Let's tidy up and have breakfast. Today we're going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, we must really give them a good run-around."
Xiao Li responded and, together with Feng Ling Xi, went straight to the Si Wangfu for a meal.
Just like before, Feng Lingxi brought Xiao Li to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and was stopped again. This time, they didn't care whether it was Princess Yao Hua or not; in short, they refused to let Feng Lingxi in. Xiaoli and Feng Lingxi were angry and cursed at the door, causing a commotion in Dugu City, which intentionally prevented Feng Lingxi from entering. Of course, this news also reached the Empress Dowager's ears.
The coldness of Dugu Cheng towards Princess Yao Hua was quickly noticed by the Empress Dowager, who summoned him to the palace for a reprimand.
Feng Lingxi was also naturally brought before the Empress Dowager, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
獨孤城's face was dark, while Feng Lingxi had a look of being utterly determined. This made the Empress feel a headache coming on.
"Grand Empress Dowager, I came here to get married. Why doesn't he allow me to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion This mansion will be my home in the future."
"When did I ever say I would marry you"
獨孤城的俊臉一沉，那冷厲的眼神讓風淩兮笑了起來。
"My father emperor, the current Holy Majesty, and even the Empress Dowager have all agreed to my marriage with you."
Dugu City let out a cold snort, "This king will not marry you, give up this thought."
"Why don't you marry me"
Feng Ling Xi was on fire, she hurriedly asked Dugu Cheng, but his disdainful eyes made her want to cry.
"Fourth King, Princess YaoHua's marriage is specifically for you. She is the princess of the Arah Xia dynasty and will be your future Fourth Queen."
As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Dugu City said in a hard tone, "Empress Dowager, this king's wife is Feng Lingxi. She was given to me by the late emperor. Besides her, I won't let anyone else take the position of the Fourth Princess."
"Feng Ling Xi poisoned the previous emperor, your marriage to her is out of the question. Now that Princess Yao Hua has come for a betrothal, this marriage cannot be refused by you."
Dugu City clenched his fists, meeting Taihou's cold gaze with even colder eyes in his own.
When the Empress Dowager saw that Dugu City was angry, her tone softened considerably.
"Princess Yaohua is more than worthy of you, why are you so stubborn and unyielding"
Dugu City coldly scanned Feng Lingxi, that cold and sharp gaze made Feng Lingxi walk to Taihou's side, looking at Taihou with grievance. Taihou naturally couldn't let Yao Hua Princess be wronged, after all, she still had to get Feng Lingxi's Purple Star from Huang Xia.
"Fourth King, what will it take for you to marry Princess Yao Hua"
The Empress Dowager, seeing Yao Hua Princess's distressed expression, gently patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
"This king will not marry her."
"If I were to swap Feng Lingxi with you, what would you say"
獨孤城的身體一震，眼神明顯地變了。太後見狀，對瑤華公主說：“哀家與四王爺談談，你去禦花園走走，哀家會說服他娶你的。”
Translated:Dugu Cheng's body trembled, and his eyes visibly changed. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager said to Princess Yao Hua, "I will have a talk with the Fourth Prince. You go for a walk in the Imperial Garden. I will persuade him to marry you."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, "The Empress Dowager is not allowed to deceive Yao Hua, Yao Hua must marry him."
"Shame on you."
Du Gu Cheng's tone was still cold. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's arrogant and unwilling eyes, he had to say, Xi'er did a great job. She really could make the Empress Dowager headache.
"Fourth King, I beg your pardon. Princess Yaohua is the princess sent by the Arahsa Dynasty for a marriage alliance."
After Empress Dowager finished speaking, Du Gu Cheng suppressed his anger and looked at Feng Ling Xi's smug look. He clenched his fists, his forbearance made the Empress Dowager feel a lot more comfortable in her heart.
Feng Lingxi is nothing but Dugu City's weakness. As long as we grasp it well, she doesn't believe that Dugu City won't surrender.
Wind Lingxi left the hall, and then the Empress Dowager spoke.
"Fourth Prince, did you hear what I just said to you As long as you marry Princess Yao Hua, I will release Feng Ling Xi."
The Empress Dowager should know that Xier never poisoned the Emperor, and the Emperor's death has nothing to do with her.
The Empress Dowager looked into Dugu City's eyes, her gaze cold. Her voice was slightly frosty, "What do you mean by that Are you saying that I killed the late Emperor"
"I meant no such thing."
Even though he knew it was the Empress Dowager's doing, he couldn't turn against her now. Without evidence, speaking up would only lead to a confrontation with no benefit. Besides, the Empress Dowager had gained the upper hand by forcing him to submit and marry Princess Yao Hua.re the Prince of Chen," she said. In public He shouldn't be careful in publicDugu City turned to look at the surrounding soldiers, all of whom retreated quickly."Answer my question, or face my punishm...
