her words. Xiaoli hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back, "Your Highness, did the slave girl say something wrong"Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, who was frightened, and coughed lightly. "Xiao Li, if...Severe punishment

Hearing this, Dugu Cheng's handsome face turned even colder. One trip to the palace and they ended up like this Was a mere statement of severe punishment enough

Zhao Gonggong, seeing the suppressed anger in Dugu Cheng's eyes, explained, "Your Highness Prince Chen, here's what happened today. Princess Chen and Miss Wan'er went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager after which they returned to the palace. Unexpectedly, they were harassed by Concubine Yan in the Imperial Garden, leading to the current situation. The Emperor has executed Concubine Yan and her maidservant, and all those present have been severely punished. I hope Your Highness Prince Chen will remain calm."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi on the bed, stepped forward and grasped Feng Lingxi's icy hand.

"Your father-in-law, please go back."

Zhao Gonggong, seeing Dugu City's attitude, was very worried.

The Emperor wanted to see the Prince of Chen's attitude. With this attitude now, it was probably going to ruin the Emperor's plan. This Yan Fei, she really deserved to die.

“The servant takes his leave.”

Zhao Gong walked to the door and said, "Tell them to have the imperial physicians waiting. As soon as there is any news about the Crown Princess, deliver it immediately."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's pale face, her body temperature was noticeably lower than usual.

"Xiao Li, aren't you following"

Xiao Li hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the servant girl was left outside the palace to wait and was not allowed to enter."

She never could have imagined that upon entering the palace, she would end up hurting both the Princess Consort and Lady Wan'er. She truly regretted it deeply and felt immense self-blame.

"Go and see Wan'er, bring her to meet me."

Xiao Li responded, and the room was left with only him and Feng Ling Xi. Only then did Du Gu Cheng lift the blanket and look at Feng Ling Xi's bandaged right arm. Looking at the gauze soaked in blood, he reached out to touch it, but Feng Ling Xi’s voice came from his ear.

"Don't touch."

獨孤城 lowered his head and saw Feng Lingxi open her eyes. He exclaimed with joy, "Xier, you're finally awake."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng's eyes, filled with joy but also tears. She stretched out her left hand wanting to wipe them away, but Du Gu Cheng grabbed it, "You tell this King, what exactly happened Why are you so injured Do you know how afraid I was"

"I'm fine."

Wind Ling xi struggled to get up, but Dugu Cheng hurriedly pressed down on her body, his eyes full of worry. "Don't get up, your right hand is seriously injured and you've lost too much blood. You fainted. Don't you know the severity of your own injuries"

Feng Lingxi forced a smile, glanced at the door, and whispered.

"I fainted on purpose."

Feng Lingxi twitched the corner of her lips into a smile, looking at Duguo City's slightly furrowed brows. She lowered her voice and said, "I'm not hurt that badly, I know my own body."

Dugu Cheng remained silent. Feng Lingxi's words pierced his heart like a knife. He knew she had pretended to faint, and the pain was unbearable.

"You were hurt on purpose"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, but still wanted to get up. Dugu City didn't stop her this time, but instead supported her against his chest and carefully held her right arm, afraid she would pull at the wound.

"I'm really hurt, and I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Feng Lingxi twitched her lips. The pain from the wound was real; her arm was badly injured. She had fainted to make a bigger fuss about this, at least she couldn't let herself be hurt for nothing.

This Yanfei ran into her own gun, giving her an opportunity, this is not her fault.

This time, the Emperor has no excuse to take back your military power. Tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and for today's events, the Emperor will have no chance to speak about taking back your military power. The Empress Dowager is also in the same situation.

"Xi'er, for this military power, you deliberately let yourself get hurt so badly. This matter, this king can handle it..."

"The injured one is real."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's apologetic and self-blaming eyes, "I just didn't want to cause trouble, so I let Yan Fei have her way. I didn't expect that she still wouldn't let me go. In this way, I could only follow the flow."

"Don't joke about your own life. I can give up military power, but I can't let you and Wan'er be harmed."

Dugu City hugged her tightly. Every time, she put herself in such a dangerous situation. Did she ever think about how scared he was He was terrified that she would just disappear like this. What would he do then

Feng Lingxi looked into Dugu Cheng's eyes, filled with fear. She nestled in his arms, her eyes full of apology.

"I didn't design them to crash, they crashed on their own."

She just didn't want to cause trouble, but they kept on and on at her, forcing her hand.

"Dugu City, have you ever thought about this Without military power, you lose more than just me and Wan'er. You also lose the Empress Dowager and the millions of people in Linxi County, as well as the loyal soldiers who have always been devoted to you."

Feng Ling's tone had softened considerably.

They have followed you through thick and thin, obeyed your every command. Even when the court turns a blind eye to them, they would rather forge their own path than leave your side, loyal to you until the end. If you were to hand over military power, do you think the Emperor would treat these soldiers who have been so faithful to you well

Such warriors, their loyalty belongs to Dugu City. Once military power is handed over, the Emperor will definitely eliminate them one by one. If Dugu City hands over the military power, it would be like killing them with his own hands.

Dugu Cheng tightened his grip on her hand when he heard Feng Ling Xi say these words.

"Xi'er, do you know that if you were a man, you would surely surpass this king."

Feng Lingxi, hearing his praise, smiled and asked, "If I were a man, would you still marry me"

Dugu Cheng chuckled lightly, pulling her into his embrace.

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi twitched her lips, but smiled.

He dares to say that Is she really that good Would he go gay for her

"Rest assured, Your Majesty knows everything you're worried about. However, you don't need to worry about this matter. Xier, remember, you are the Queen, a woman. Don't try to do everything yourself. This makes me feel very insignificant."

With a soft sigh, Dugu City's voice was filled with resignation, but his eyes remained gentle.

To be able to marry Xier, perhaps it is what every ambitious man dreams of

If she were a man, I'm afraid countless women would be infatuated with her.

"Mother."

Waner ran in, breaking the atmosphere in the room. Xiaoli hurriedly followed, watching Wangye and his wife embracing each other. She immediately pulled Waner over, but saw Dugu Cheng beckoning to Waner.

"Come to Daddy."

Waner hurried over, Dugu Cheng scooped her up and held her in his lap, Feng Lingxi leaned against him, watching Xiao Li's red-rimmed eyes.

"My lady, you're finally awake! You scared me half to death."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the door, and Xiao Li hurriedly wiped away her tears. "This servant will go out and handle it first."

Little Li walked to the door and looked at the imperial physician waiting outside, "The princess is awake, please have the imperial physician take a look at my princess."

When the imperial physician heard that Feng Lingxi had woken up, he hurried in. Feng Lingxi was already lying down, while Dugu Cheng and Wan'er were sitting by her bedside. Seeing the imperial physician arrive, they stood up and said, "Imperial Physician, please check on Xi'er."

The imperial physician responded and hurriedly stepped forward to take Feng Lingxi's pulse.ive because of this. Since I promised to help you settle the Yao Clan matter, I won't ignore you. That Yao Zhi deserves to die, I'm already gathering evidence."Feng Lingxi's cold eyes swept over, "Doe...
