ht now.”Just as I was about to get up, I heard the voice of Princess Zhaoran, “Mother, if Fourth Royal Consort has done wrong, even if Father Emperor came, he cannot favor her. As Mother Empress, you...When Shangguan sat down, he said, "I investigated the women you mentioned before. After leaving the county office, they went to an inn. They entered a room and saw a girl, who should be their mistress."

"Master"

Girl

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, could it be the person Qiu'er had a crush on

"Have you seen the girl's face"

Shangguan Huan shook his head, "That person's martial arts are not weak. I'm worried about exposing my identity, so I kept a distance."

If I'm not mistaken, these women were sent by the Xinshui.

Isn't she in danger

Shangguan Huan's face changed drastically. Qiu'er refused to let him follow, and he didn't know what she wanted to do. Following her would make Qiu'er unhappy, but he really couldn't trust her alone.

"Qiu'er said that this time Xin Shui came not only because she wanted to kill her, but also said that this Xin Shui was not her opponent. If I'm not mistaken, this Xin Shui arranged such a scene this time, wanting to come after me."

"Did the Princess have a grudge against her"

Feng Lingxi looked at Shangguan Huan's tightly furrowed brows, with a look that seemed as if he would kill to solve his troubles.

When she was in the Ghost Saint Country, Yaozu misconstrued that Luo Li liked me and suspected that Wan'er was Luo Li and my daughter. Perhaps, this is why she came here. Moreover, Luo Li recently arrived in the Great Yuan Dynasty as well.

It's very possible I see her as a rival.

"What a crazy woman."

Shangguan Huan was furious, "Your Majesty, should I..."

"No need, she is the granddaughter of the Grand Elder. She came here with thirty beautiful women at her disposal. It seems like she was trying to test Dugu City and infiltrate the manor to cause trouble by my side. Now that people are sent back, her plan has been foiled and she should be more obedient."

Perhaps she should change direction and investigate the reasons behind Luo Li's departure. It might be more interesting.

"The Queen means that Luo Li is the key, doesn't she"

Feng Lingxi nodded, she had seen through it. This time, sending thirty women was nothing more than to make Dugu Cheng take concubines and wives, disrupting her life. Otherwise, what would be the point of spending so much on sending so many women

But she was curious, did her argument with him in the Ghost Saint Kingdom back then really make her this jealous

Just how deep is the hatred between Xinshui and Qiu'er Qiu'er has no feelings for Luoli, but she wants to kill Xinshui. Plus, she was able to enter the Yao Clan's treasure map, so her identity must be extraordinary.

"Shangguan Huan, would you mind looking up someone for me"

"Your Highness, please command."

"Love at first sight."

Shangguan Huan nodded, "Wait for me to check it back and tell you."

"Be careful."

Upon hearing, Shangguan Huan left. Feng Ling Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. Today Shangguan Huan told her about his affections, this matter seemed much clearer now. It was easier to investigate Xinshui than Luoli. However, Luoli was difficult to investigate, so she could only focus on Xinshui first.

Since she was convinced that she liked Luoli, there would inevitably be misunderstandings when they met again in the future. This jealous woman would lose her composure and reveal her true feelings.

"Xier, what are you thinking about You seem so lost in thought"

Dugu Cheng came in, saw Feng Lingxi frowning deeply, and shouted forward, which startled Feng Lingxi.

"How did you get back"

Dugu Cheng frowned, "Why, don't you want to see me"

"It's just puzzling, isn't it Didn't you say you didn't have time to come back"

Thinking back to last night, Feng Ling Xi dared to say she wanted to see him Wasn't that asking for trouble

Dugu Cheng held her hand, his eyes filled with a smile.

"I'll be back once things are settled. I'm afraid your mother will bully you."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, "If you don't bully me, I'll be Buddha Amitabha."

Though a smile held back at the corner of his lips, Dugu Cheng's heart was filled with joy.

He only came back because he tasted the sweetness. Mother Concubine, your medicine really works. It's a consolation for him during this period of neglect. However, it was a bit too intense, Xier is too tired.

"That wasn't bullying, it was love."

"Shut up."

Feng Lingxi blushed, looking at the smile in Dugu City's eyes, "Mother concubine, you're always thinking about me getting pregnant. If you don't have anything to do these days, just stay away."

"It's really annoying to stay in the barracks. Feng Aotian is so clingy, I just want to come back and sleep soundly."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingxi couldn't bear to see him being harassed by Feng Aotian.

“Nevermind, take it easy.”

Since she couldn't escape it anyway, Feng Ling Xi just went with him. She didn't believe he could have such a good body to be tossed around every day.

Just like yesterday, Shu Taifei prepared tonic soup for Feng Lingxi and Dugu City. After drinking it, Feng Lingxi was restless all night. She tossed and turned until dawn before falling asleep. On the other hand, Dugu City was satisfied and radiant. Feng Lingxi had a hard time, she didn't even have time to sleep.

However, there was nothing going on outside, not even an excuse. Dugu Cheng's diligence upon his return was consistent; he never missed a day. He would leave early and return late every day, spending the evenings with Feng Lingxi. Over ten days, Feng Lingxi was exhausted and even started thinking about sleeping in separate rooms.

"Can you not come"

Feng Lingxi looked at the soup sent by Shu Taifei and directly poured it to feed the tree beside her, "You're not afraid of kidney deficiency."

There was a knock at the door, and Shu Taifei’s voice, uncharacteristically sharp, rang out. “Don’t pour out the soup, or you’ll have double rations tomorrow.”

Dugu Cheng shrugged, "Mother, there's nothing we can do about it."

However, seeing the fear in Feng Ling Xi's eyes, he knew these days had truly worn her down. He embraced her, "Let you off tonight, sleep soundly."

"Really"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of disbelief. Dugu Cheng nodded and lay beside her, "Feng Aotian has been behaving himself lately, staying in the barracks, not leaving, and not mentioning the imperial decree. He just wants to drag this out with me, so I have more free time."

"So you've been messing with me"

Feng Lingxi rolled over and glared at him, while Dugu Cheng wore an innocent expression.

"I couldn't control my mother's medicine, it's truly not my fault."

Although he had his own selfish motives, seeing Xier so tired made his heart ache.

Wind Ling gave him a withering look. "That sounds good, doesn't it You wouldn't be in trouble if you just took your medicine! If you keep this up, don't you worry about kidney failure I'm the one who's worried about dying!"

"Aren't you enjoying yourself It's not as bad as people say."

Feng Lingxi's slap landed on Dugu City's body, "Let me greet you well."

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook tonight."

Dugu Cheng said softly, "Speaking of which, how come Wan'er has been so well-behaved lately She hasn't bothered you"

“She listens to your mother’s words and waits for me to give her a younger brother. How could she possibly cling to me I wonder if this girl is really my biological daughter. Wouldn't it be better to spoil her alone Why does she insist on a younger brother and even colludes with your mother She's simply not afraid of me dying.”

"It wouldn't be so bad to have another one, might as well take advantage of the time we have to raise it."

"I don't have that much thought put into the children."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, thinking of Wan'er, and her heart felt very uneasy.

"Qiuer told me that when Wan'er was ten years old, she was taken to the Yao Clan of Guisheng Kingdom. Qiuer asked me to protect Wan'er well. As you know, the Yao Clan of Guisheng Kingdom is mysterious and powerful. Qiuer's words made me very uneasy, fearing that going to Guisheng Kingdom was a plot."pecting him of bullying Tao Su"Ahem..."Du Gucheng coughed twice, hurriedly covered his chest with his hand, and sat down. Feng Lingxi immediately stepped forward, grabbed his hand to feel his pulse, t...
