Chapter 97: Fighting on the Bed 61

to Feng Lingxi, "Xier, your second aunt is right. No matter how you say it, you are also the Fourth Princess when you marry there. Marrying the Fourth Prince won't wrong you.""Father, when will Secon..."What's this"

"A letter of denunciation, have a look."

Feng Lingxi opened the letter and read the contents inside. Her face darkened. Dugu Cheng took the letter, tore it to pieces, and said, "The daughters of the Feng family are all extraordinary. Even before they get married, each one is so outstanding. No wonder Feng Linglong is fearless. She even slept with the prince..."

Dugu Cheng's words were cut short by Feng Ling Xi's gloomy expression. He hurriedly covered his mouth and slapped himself, "Xi'er, this king wasn't talking about you. You were framed back then, this king..."

"Are you sure about this message" Feng Ling Xi interrupted him. Du Gu Cheng frowned, "Shouldn't you be curious about who the informant is Why tell this king about the relationship between Feng Ling Long and the prince"

"Today, seizing power from the Liu family, this kind of intricate marriage into the Prince's mansion, whether my mother can firmly hold the position of the legitimate wife is still a question."

Feng Lingxi frowned, she didn't trust Liu Shi to manage the household. She had seen how her father treated her mother, and Liu Shi would certainly not give up so easily. Returning the housekeeper's power to her mother... what would happen then Feng Lingxi was truly clueless about the future.

“This is why I sent Nanny Liu to help. Firstly, Nanny Liu was raised in the palace and is a person close to your mother. Both within the General's Mansion, everyone will give her some face. Secondly, after being punished by me this time, Nanny Liu will definitely do her best to arrange everything properly for your stepmother. When you have nothing to do, go to the General's Mansion and watch the commotion. You might even be able to get revenge through it.”

"My lord, you are indeed a shrewd planner. This one thanks you."

Du Gucheng's help is indeed able to make mother more comfortable in Fengfu, but even so, it can't be entirely reassuring.

"Xi'er, there's no need for formalities between us. Don't forget, you've helped me quite a bit too. Since we are husband and wife, we should help each other and stand together through thick and thin."

Hearing him mention the word "couple", Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly, seeming somewhat unaccustomed to the term.

"Your Majesty, today I entered the palace. My father took your medicine and even praised you, saying that you are kind-hearted and that he wants to reward you well."

獨孤城見她不語，又說，“母妃讓本王轉告你，王府的後院由你來打理。”

"Mother, are you not afraid that I will tear down your entire manor"

The Imperial Concubine treated her so well; it was truly unlike how a mother-in-law should treat her daughter-in-law. People always say that mothers-in-law in wealthy families are difficult to deal with, but the Imperial Concubine was exactly the opposite. While other mothers-in-law might want their sons to have three wives and four concubines, she actually stopped them from taking any concubines.

獨孤城 saw that she had spoken, and leaned close to her ear, "If you truly want to bring down the Duke's Mansion, this King won't blame you."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly pushed him away, coldly saying, "When you speak to me, there's no need to get so close."

"Well, are you afraid of what I might do to you"

Feng Lingxi looked at the wicked smile in his eyes, her gaze swept over his body, "I'm just afraid I can't help but take the King down."

The smile on Dugu City's face froze instantly. Looking at her eyes, at the place she was looking at, Dugu City thought of the scene that night when she had detoxified him, and couldn't help but cough lightly, "This king was just joking with you, no need to take it to heart."

I don't like to joke.

Feng Ling Xi reminded, Du Gu Cheng rubbed his nose, muttered in a low voice, "At least you are the King's Queen, can't you be more gentle to the King"

Feng Lingxi coldly said, "The prince likes gentle girls. If he wants a gentle one, find Princess Zhaoran. I believe that if she marries you, she will definitely be gentle to you."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly explained, "Xi'er, listen to this king, Princess Zhaoran will absolutely not marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Even if the emperor orders it, this king will not marry her."

"I never stopped you from marrying her." In short, if he took a concubine or married another wife, she would divorce him.

Dugu Cheng's heart felt uncomfortable. He had already said so much, yet she still maintained that attitude.

Could it be that she didn't feel anything for him at all

"Xier, you really don't mind this king marrying another woman"

Feng Lingxi stared into his eyes, her words clear as she asked, "Do you think I mind"

Dugu City opened his eyes, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart. "Am I really that bad That you dislike me so much"

At least she was the one who provoked him in the first place, how come she doesn't even look at him

"Your Highness, don't waste your effort. Do you really think I don't know your ulterior motives"

She dared not forget, it was he who designed her marriage into the Prince's residence. She offered herself to him for the antidote, but in revenge, he deceived her, making her enter the mansion as a 'widow'. Such a man, how could she ever trust him.

"This King understands what you mean. Enough, there's no use in saying anything more."

It seems she still holds a grudge against him for calculating her marriage into the family.

The carriage returned to the mansion, and Feng Ling Xi went back to her own pharmacy to begin her work. The way things were at General's Mansion was no longer the same.

"My Lord, do you think your Lady even cares for you My humble opinion is that she's still angry."

Ye Xi patted her head and muttered to herself, oblivious to the fact that the charcoal-black handsome face of her master was just behind her. When she turned around, she was startled and immediately lowered her head, keeping silent.

獨孤城 looked at Feng Lingxi's back, lost in thought.

How can he make Feng Ling Xi know that he truly wants to be good to her and wants to spend his life with her

As soon as Feng Lingxi stepped into the apothecary, Xiao Li spoke up, "Your Highness, did you have a fight with the King"

"No, why do you ask"

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Just now, I saw Wang Ye's gloomy expression and thought he had an argument with the Princess."

Unhappy expression

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, "We didn't fight. Perhaps he has something on his mind."

Xiao Li looked at the queen's cold expression and cautiously asked, "Your Highness, this servant dares to speak out of turn. This servant thinks that the King actually treats you very well. Think about how he helped you speak today at the General's Mansion."

Since she was already married into the family, she naturally hoped that the prince and princess would be in love.

"He and I, we're just using each other."

Her life now rests in their hands. She's treating the emperor, and if it goes well, she'll be fine. But if it doesn't... her life is over. She doesn't even dare to think about how many people would want her dead afterward.

To oppose the one who killed the emperor, she could hardly live peacefully.

"Your Highness, are you truly determined to separate from the King"

Feng Lingxi looked into Xiao Li's worried eyes and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Li, if you were my maidservant, don't ask too many questions."

Xiao Li's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly closed her mouth.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has arrived."

A maid's report came from outside the door. Feng Lingxi frowned, without raising her head, said, "The Crown Prince is here, let the King greet him."

"His Royal Highness is here to find the Crown Princess. The Lord Duke is not at home."

Feng Lingxi heard that Dugu Cheng was not at home, her brows furrowed slightly, "Where did the King go"

"It seems like he went to the Juhua Building."ed the previous few days, it only started tonight.She went out to look several times but didn't find anything unusual, yet whenever she was inside the room, she could feel that being watched sensation...
