y hasn't he come to see me"Feng Lingxi truthfully said, "Your Highness went out early this morning, and I don't know when he will be back.""This palace doesn't want to see him, this palace is here to...The Old Madam Wang walked to her bed, took out a box and walked towards Feng Lingxi. She opened the box, took out a golden bracelet engraved with dragons and phoenixes, and put it on her wrist. "This was a bracelet given to me by the Emperor. Mother is giving it to you. From now on, you will be the mistress of the fourth princess and Cheng'er's only wife."

"Imperial Mother, this is too valuable, the daughter-in-law cannot accept it." She hadn't even thought about staying as the Fourth Princess Consort. This bracelet was bestowed by the Emperor, it was too valuable, she wouldn't dare take it even if she were greedy.

The old matriarch's face darkened, "So, are you not willing to stay in the Fourth Prince's Mansion"

Feng Ling quickly said, "No, it's just that the daughter-in-law feels it's too precious to accept. After all, this was bestowed by the Emperor upon her mother."

The Old Madam put on the bracelet and reprimanded, "Just keep wearing it. You think anyone who wants this bracelet can have it"

"The daughter-in-law doesn't mean that, the daughter-in-law thanks Empress Dowager for her gift."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly thanked him and took it for now. If the Fourth Prince came back and liked a girl, she would return the bracelet to him.

"You go back and rest first, Mother is a bit tired."

Feng Lingxi responded and came out, only then did the old matriarch call Liu Mamā who was waiting at the door inside.

“You saw how the princess behaved today. Now tell this princess, is Feng Lingxi worthy of becoming your lord’s wife”

Grandma Liu hurriedly said, "Didn't the Old Madam already make a statement Besides, she has the bracelet now."

The Old Madam sighed, “This concubine is also worried about Cheng'er. He has always disliked being arranged by others. This Feng Lingxi is indeed intelligent, but she is too calm. This concubine worries if she will truly treat Cheng'er well. Furthermore, her temperament these past two days has made this concubine somewhat concerned that Cheng'er and she might not get along.”

"Your Majesty, this new Crown Princess is not as foolish as the rumors suggest. Her medical skills are remarkable; even the Imperial Physicians were unable to cure your illness, yet she managed to. This old servant believes she could very well heal the Fourth Prince."

"This concubine wants a woman who can accompany the young master for life, a woman who can shoulder responsibilities and assist him, and a woman who treats the young master sincerely."

"I hope she can do it," the old matriarch sighed.

"Aunt Liu hurriedly soothed, “Your Highness is always calm in the face of adversity. These past two days are proof enough, Grandmother Empress Dowager, let’s just observe for now.”

"That's all we can do then."

Feng Lingxi sneezed and quickly returned to her own courtyard, checking to see if there was anything she could prepare to take back to her mother's house tomorrow.

Xiaoli rushed to greet her when she saw her return. They entered the room and Xiaoli quickly shut the door.

"Your Highness, he has not eaten yet."

Feng Lingxi walked behind the screen and saw Dugu Cheng sitting cross-legged and practicing his skills. She frowned and said, "Go get some pastries or something, and then ask the kitchen to make more pastries for me. I'll be going back to my family tomorrow."

"Will you be back tomorrow"

When Dugu Cheng opened his eyes, he saw the bracelet on Feng Lingxi's wrist. He was surprised and didn't expect his mother to give her this bracelet. Did that mean she recognized him as her daughter-in-law

"What's with that look"

Wind Lingxi saw him staring at her bracelet and hurriedly covered it. Dugu Cheng said lightly, “This bracelet was given to you by the former empress dowager, wasn't it You have never worn it before.”

"This has nothing to do with you. I'm going back tomorrow, and you've stayed here long enough. You should be able to leave tomorrow too."

Dugu Cheng heard her tell him to leave, his heart was very unhappy. Did she really want to stay here so eagerly as his fourth wife, afraid that he would cling to her

"Don't worry, I won't bother you, I'm leaving tonight."

"Okay."

Dugu Cheng heard her so readily agree, not even a word of reluctance. His heart felt stifled, but thinking that he would be back soon and they could spar with each other every day, his heart felt much lighter.

"I'll get you something to eat in a bit, and I'll make up two more prescriptions for you. Take them back home, finish them, and you'll be fine."

Feng Lingxi said, thinking about something, she opened her mouth and said, "There is still a kind of chronic poison in your body. It has been in your body for more than ten years. You should know this, right"

Du Gucheng's body shook, she had actually sensed the poison within him. He thought she wouldn't know, after all, this poison was very strange, it didn't act up normally and was indistinguishable from ordinary people.

"Are you trying to cure me of this poison"

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "It's too complex, it takes time, and besides, there's no guarantee of a solution."

Agreeing to help him detoxify meant they would inevitably get entangled. After all, they had already been physically intimate. She didn't want to become too involved with him, especially since she was still the Fourth Princess. If discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Aren't you worried that I'll be a nuisance by staying with you for too long"

獨孤城冷哼一聲，語氣明顯的不悅。

Feng Lingxi was already in a tangle, and hearing his tone of displeasure, her anger flared up.

"You're right, I don't want to get tangled up with you. I've done what I promised you, there's no need for me to keep helping you." His cold tone left Dugu City feeling stifled. He knew she was afraid he would drag her down.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you, I'm leaving now."

Dugu City got up, Feng Lingxi pulled him, "In broad daylight, you're not afraid of dying"

Dugu Cheng looked at her clutching his hand, pressing her against the screen wall. He stared coldly at her, "I'm not leaving now, what do you want Do you want me to satisfy you once before I let you go as a repayment"

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi's anger rise, she raised her foot and kicked out, but Dugu Cheng grabbed her ankle. "Don't use that trick on me," he said, "you want my -- that's not so easy."

Feng Lingxi struggled, watching him become so cold all of a sudden, her anger burning to the extreme.

She shouldn't have been merciful and left him here in the first place. Now he dares to sneer at her What does he think he is If not for her, he would be dead by now.

Let go!

Feng Lingxi glared at him, "Don't forget, I saved your life."

Dugu City sneered, "Don't forget, you were stronger than me first."

Their eyes met, sparks flying. After the encounter, Dugu Cheng released her and jumped out of the window to leave.

Feng Lingxi stood there, her mind filled with his words, "Don't forget, you got stronger first."

Is it really worth being so petty over a man sleeping with one woman Besides, he probably has more than just her, right

She didn't get angry even though she lost her virginity, what about him

"Your Highness, he has been captured."

Xiao Li burst through the door, panting heavily and said, Feng Ling Xi's face changed drastically, "Who was caught"

"Besides him, who else could it be I just came over and heard about an assassin. Then from afar, I saw him surrounded by a group of people. What should I do now"

Feng Lingxi's face flushed red and then pale, she told him not to go out, but he wouldn't listen. Now what should she do

"Where is he now Take me to him right away."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly rushed out, fearing that he would be too late and lose his head."Your Highness seems to underestimate me. These are just minor tricks, not worth my attention."Du Gucheng saw her still smiling, he held her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers, and said softly,...
