yard, put the medicinal herbs she brought back into the pharmacy, and went to Shutai's courtyard. She happened to meet an eunuch from the palace who had come to present a gift. Feng Lingxi politely gr..."If the prince is to marry a princess, how could the empress possibly agree"

Dugu Cheng curled his lips, the shrewdness in his eyes made Ye Xi lower her head. It seemed like she had worried too much.

"Alright, go to the princess's."

He had to go back to Feng Lingxi. Thinking about what his mother had said, he felt that he should really get to know Feng Lingxi again. After all, she was the first woman who had captured his heart.

Feng Lingxi sneezed and rubbed her nose. Xiao Li hurriedly put the cloak on her, “Miss, the night is getting cold, you have to take care of your health. You’ve been busy all day, why don’t you rest for a while We can do these chores tomorrow.”

Feng Lingxi put on her cloak and said softly, "Tonight I'll make my mother's pills. Tomorrow, I'll take them to her."

"Actually, you could just take the medicine to Madam directly and have her boil it for consumption. There's no need for the Princess Consort to make pills every time. Brewing the medicine is already such hard work, and then making it into pills too It's just too tiring." Xiao Li looked heartbroken. After the Princess Consort regained consciousness, her days were difficult, and she was truly worried about the Princess Consort's health.

There's a lord within who wants to protect her, while outside there are the second madame and the eldest, second, and youngest daughters of the General's Mansion plotting against her. The princess's life is truly hard.

"Xiao Li, openly bringing medicine to your mother would make them wonder about me. I can only discreetly deliver the pills so as not to be noticed."

Feng Lingxi continued to tinker, yawning and feeling a bit tired.

Xiao Li watched over her and helped tend the fire.

"My Lord."

The sound of Chengxin's angry voice from outside the door caused Fenglingxi to frown. How did this Dugucheng come again

Thinking about what the old queen dowager said, she probably came here to give birth.

"Xiaoli, it's getting late, you should go to sleep first."

Xiao Li looked at Dugu Cheng walking in, bowed after greeting him, and then exited the room.

Dugu Cheng caught a whiff of the strong medicinal scent throughout the room, his handsome brows furrowed slightly, "Staying up this late and brewing medicine, when do you plan to stop"

"If you find the smell too strong, you can go to the study and sleep there."

Dugu Cheng watched her busy figure, walked to sit in front of her, "The scent of your medicine makes me both comforted and uneasy."

Feng Lingxi raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean by that, Your Highness"

Dugu Cheng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. "Do you remember that night Although you defeated me, you also saved my life. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died from the poison."

"The king suddenly bringing this up again... What does he mean Could it be the king wants to settle accounts with me from that night"

Dugu City watched her become serious, the smile on his lips deepening.

"Xier, do you know why this king had the emperor bestow a marriage upon you to enter the Prince's Mansion"

What the Lord is thinking, I do not know.

Isn't it because he overpowered her and couldn't swallow his pride, so he married her back to torment her slowly

However, it seems that is not the case now. After he returned, he did not seem to torment her.

"Before you, Your Majesty has never had any woman. Whether you believe it or not, Your Majesty took you as his wife because you were defiled by him. If he didn't take you back, would he let you marry someone else"

"There aren't many women abandoned after losing their innocence, and throughout history, countless women have been discarded by royalty and nobles after being used. The prince and I were just a one-night stand mistake. Why bring this up Just treat it as a fleeting dream."

How come

When Dugu City heard her say this, he tapped the table with his fingers, "How I say it is also forced by you, and you are also my first woman. How could I not hold you responsible"

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes and met Du Gu Cheng's gaze, unable to help but ask, "Your Highness, when you say this, do you have any shame"

"What, you want to sleep with this King and then run"

“Everyone said it was a misunderstanding. If I had known you were so difficult, I wouldn’t even bother looking for someone like you, not even a beggar.”

It's ridiculous that a man would be so fixated on this, while she doesn't even care. He brings it up as if it's some big deal; does he have any shame

"Feng Ling Xi, what do you mean by that I lost my innocence for you, and if I don't hold you responsible, who am I to hold responsible"

"What are you, a big man, responsible for I didn't even tell you to be responsible..."

Feng Lingxi was speechless from his words, looking at his serious expression, anger surged within her.

"Then you're unwilling to take responsibility, this King has to. After all, your body was given to this King..."

"I don't care!"

Feng Lingxi abruptly got up and looked at Dugu City, "I'm going to sleep now, Your Highness, please return."

Dugu City walked to her bedside and prepared to take off his clothes, but Feng Lingxi grabbed his hand, "Are you really going to sleep here"

"Xier, didn't you forget what your mother told you All the people in this courtyard are Mother's eyes and ears. If she sees me leave from here, what do you think Mother would do Also, do you want Liu MaMa to come in and help personally"

"What can I help you with"

When mentioning her mother, Feng Lingxi loosened her grip, her eyes narrowed with suspicion as she stared at him.

If she were really bold enough to act recklessly, she would make him impotent for life.

"Check us out bringing kids into the world."

"You..."

Feng Lingxi's face flushed red, but it was Dugu Cheng's gaze that was truly unsettling. That wicked look sent shivers down Feng Lingxi's spine.

He tossed the bedding onto the floor after walking to the closet and glared at Dugu City, gritting his teeth and saying, "Same old routine."

Dugu Cheng walked in front of her, getting closer and closer. Feng Lingxi retreated again and again, falling onto the bed. Dugu Cheng approached, leaned down, and looked at her stunning face, "Mother concubine, do you want me to let you get pregnant for three months How can you get pregnant if we sleep separately"

Feng Lingxi pushed him away, rolled over to the side, got up, her movements flowing and smooth, which made Dugu Cheng's eyes widen in surprise.

"Well then, there's nothing more to say." Feng Lingxi walked over, laid out the bedding, and lay down inside.

"Right now, I won't be giving birth to a child. Aren't you taking concubines for the prince Even if it's three months later, even right now, if you want to take a concubine, I wouldn't oppose it. But wanting me to have a child with someone without feelings...I can't do that."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "Why didn't you say that that night"

To put it simply, she instigated him first, and now she's saying there are no feelings involved.

This woman, she is truly infuriating.

That night, I was drugged. I just wanted the King to save me in a pinch, and besides, this kind of thing wouldn't be a loss for a man like the King.

獨孤城 walked up to her, crouched down, and stared at her cold face. “What do you mean by that How am I at a disadvantage This king isn’t some random man.”

Feng Ling Xi turned to look at him, "Your Highness insists on holding a grudge against me for that night"

Seeing him nod, Feng Lingxi got up and began to unbutton her clothes. This action took Du Gucheng by surprise. He hurriedly grabbed her hand and questioned sternly, "What are you doing"

Feng Lingxi shook off his hand and let out a cold snort, "Your Highness is being so petty. I'll allow Your Highness to take me once, then we're even."t after questioning him."Feng Lingxi looked at Zhou Mu in disbelief, "You did all of this""So what To break through, you have to make sacrifices. Just like when you go to war, can you guarantee that n...
