Empress Dowager has never been satisfied with you. Who made you marry the Fourth Prince If you had married the Emperor, she might have liked you.""Third Sister, but the Emperor is your husband. You...Zhang shi was stunned, looking at the chicken soup in front of her, "Xi'er, didn't you say that Liu shi sent over the chicken soup for mother had a problem How..."

She just made this chicken soup, it wasn't for you at all, it was for me. Plus, considering what happened today, even if Mrs. Liu hates us, she wouldn't poison us right now. Otherwise, she wouldn't have climbed to her current position.

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and brought the chicken soup over, taking another sip.

"Xier, do you mean that Liu shi only wants to deal with me"

"Before today, she wanted to poison you. But after today, she should hold back for a while. Didn't Mother notice that Feng Linglong is different from before today"

Zhang Shi thought about it and said, “She was very polite to you today, and her personality is calm, just like a different person.”

Feng Ling xi nodded slightly, it seemed that her mother wasn't too foolish after all.

"A woman who wants to marry a prince, even if she's clever, I was surprised by how much she changed these days. From her previous arrogance and domineering attitude to her current composure and gracefulness, it truly amazes me." This Liu family member must have some tricks up her sleeve to be able to ride roughshod over her mother.

Moreover, this Wind Linglong was taught by her, how could she be worse

"Zhang shi became worried, 'Xi'er, if your older sister really becomes the prince consort, with her abilities, wouldn't you have to treat her as superior in the future If she is favored and ascends to the position of Crown Princess, she will definitely take revenge on you."

"Mother, rest assured, there will be no such day."

How could she possibly be unaware It doesn't matter being a concubine, wanting to climb to the position of Crown Princess and sit on her head. Does she really think she's a pushover

Zhang held her hand, the worry in her eyes made Feng Lingxi pat her hand, "Mother, don't worry about me, even if the three of them come together, I won't let them bully me. After being bullied by them for fifteen years, it's time for the tides to turn."

Upon hearing this, Zhang laughed.

"Xier, you truly make your mother proud. Seeing you like this now, your mother is truly happy for you."

Tears welled up in Zhang's eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Feng Lingxi immediately reached out to wipe them away, "Mother, don't cry. With me here, you'll be alright. I'll help you get back everything that was taken from you. And then, Mother, give me a little brother."

When Zhang was told this, she couldn't help but blush and said angrily, "You child, your mother is already a grown woman, yet you still say these embarrassing things."

Feng Lingxi leaned into Zhang's arms, acting coquettishly. "Mother, you are so young! You gave birth to me, the first beauty of the capital. Who in this world could compare to even one tenth of your magnificence"

Zhang was blushing from her words. She gently tapped her forehead, dotingly saying, “You child, you really take things seriously. You call yourself the first beauty of the capital”

"That means she must indeed be quite beautiful. Otherwise, why would they say Feng Linglong is the first beauty"

She was still very satisfied with her face.

“Mother, let’s get to the point. I’ve made some pills for you. These days, please don’t eat any chicken soup Liu sent, not even pastries. Don’t eat anything from her, even if it’s not poisoned. I’ll come visit you these days and help you adjust your body.”

"You go out every day, wouldn't the King say anything"

She is already married, and it's even more inappropriate for her to be involved in this new relationship.

"Of course not, Your Highness is well-known for his love towards the Crown Princess. Just rest assured, madam."

Xiao Li spoke up from the side, Feng Ling Xi smiled and nodded, not wanting her mother to know about it.

She and Dugu City, the road is still long, he wants her to submit, don't even think about it.

Zhang coughed several times, and Feng Lingxi hurriedly supported her, watching her face turn pale. She quickly said, "Mother, I'll give you acupuncture to temporarily relieve the pain. It takes some time to prepare the medicine. Xiao Li, wait here and don't allow anyone to disturb us."

Wind Lingxi said a word and then supported her mother into the house.

Leaving Zhang's place, it was already dusk. Feng Aotian had already had the table set. During the meal, Feng Lingyu didn't appear, but Feng Linglong did. She was graceful and elegant. Feng Lingxi supported Zhang out, seeing that her complexion had improved, Feng Aotian hurried forward to support her.

"Madam, you're out."

Zhang Shi, who had dressed up especially, was completely different from her usual self, leaving Feng Aotian mesmerized. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Father, I will come to the manor these days to accompany mother for a few days."

獨孤城手中的動作微僵，她是要住在將軍府，這要是傳出去，彆人還不知道怎麼想他們。

"Xier, are you going to stay at home"

Feng Aotien glanced at Dugu City with concern and asked, "Feng Lingxi replied calmly, “I just come over every day to keep her company for a while and chat with her.”

"That's good too. Since the mother-in-law isn't feeling well, let Xi'er keep her company and chat with her. A cheerful mood will help her recover faster." Dugu Cheng spoke, and Zhang shi's attitude towards Dugu Cheng became even better.

"My Lord Four Kings, if this causes you any inconvenience, my humble wife would still…"

"Mother-in-law, Xi'er has been filial to you, which I greatly admire. I just came back to chat with you for a bit, it won't be any trouble."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City's magnanimity, and smiled faintly towards him, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Dugu Cheng smiled indulgently and served her dishes, “Xier, go back to the mansion after you finish eating.”

Feng Aotien, watching Dugu Cheng's attitude towards Feng Lingxi, became even more determined to treat Feng Lingxi well in the future. Perhaps the Feng family would need her to enhance their reputation in the future.

After the meal, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng returned to Sifang Wangfu. On the carriage, Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi without saying a word.

Feng Lingxi reached out and touched her own face, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Did I put gold on my face to make the Prince stare at me like this"

"Why don't you ask this King, why he is marrying Feng Lingyu to a wealthy merchant in the capital"

Feng Lingxi frowned, her face full of confusion. "What's there to ask Isn't this your choice"

"Feng Ling Xi!"

Dugu Cheng couldn't hold back the unease in her heart. How could she be so heartless

"Tell me, with your heart in hand, have I been good to you"

Feng Lingxi, with a serious look, patted her own chest and smiled faintly, "Sometimes good, sometimes bad."

“You…”

Dugu Cheng angrily flicked his sleeves, looking at the smile on her face. How could she not be moved by what he had done for her

"My Lord, you don't have to be so miserable. I understand your feelings for me. You want me to love you, but that's impossible."

Hearing her so directly state his purpose, Dugu City felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, almost spitting it out.

How could she possibly know what he was thinking

"Feng Ling Xi, how can you be so heartless Can't you see that this King is truly sincere towards you"

Feng Ling pressed against Du Gu Cheng's chest, a smirk playing on her lips. "Du Gu Cheng, touch your heart and tell me, are you being sincere or insincere towards me" the Princess.""Xi'er, are you hiding this from me"Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, who was still burning with fever. He clenched his fists tightly. Why didn't Xi tell him when something happened Did...
