ss's confidante. Even at this critical juncture, she was still keeping a close eye on things. It seemed she wasn't convinced about Feng Lingyu's death. But what could there possibly be about Feng Lin...A figure pushed open the curtain and walked in. Feng Lingxi frowned as she looked at the newcomer, her gaze fixed on Dugu Cheng who had entered. She couldn't fathom his intentions this time.

"Xier, Lady Liu is still your mother's person. She's so old and kneeling before you. Give her a chance to redeem herself. Everyone outside is watching."

獨孤城 sat beside her, looking at her cold eyes. He truly felt her ruthlessness. If it were any other woman, she would have softened up by now, but she didn't show even a hint of relenting.

Feng Ling Xi raised her beautiful eyes slightly and asked softly, "Does the King think I intentionally made things difficult for Nanny Liu"

Du Gu Cheng's smile froze, and he saw Liu Ma Ma hurriedly explaining, "Your Highness, the Princess did not make things difficult for this old servant. It was all this old servant's fault. You mustn't blame the Princess, it was all this old servant's fault."

Feng Lingxi sighed. This Liu Mama really didn't show any remorse at all. Even now, she was still trying to take advantage of the situation to get back at her. It seemed like she truly couldn't forgive her.

"Grandmother, speaking to the Prince like this wouldn't make him think I'm making things difficult for you. In that case, perhaps the Prince and Grandmother should return I'm tired as well. I'm not used to living in the back courtyard of this Duke's Manor. It would be better to go back to the General's Mansion. Please."

Windling made a gesture towards them, seeing they had no intention of getting down, she got up and said to Xiao Li, “Since the Wangye and Grandma like this carriage, Xiao Li, let's walk back home.”

Xiaoli heard the princess say this, and hurriedly got off the carriage. Feng Lingxi had just gotten off the carriage when Dugu City grabbed her arm, attracting the attention of the onlookers. The four princesses had been in the carriage and with the maidservants in the mansion for so long, the king himself had come, and the curious crowd watching the excitement couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

"Xier, come back with this king."

Dugu Cheng lowered his voice, "With so many commoners watching, if you continue to stalemate, tomorrow when your mother returns to the residence and alarms the emperor, this will not be a trivial matter."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the common people, showing not a shred of fear.

"This is perfect, then. I can ask the Emperor for a divorce."

"How dare you think you can get a leave of absence If things escalate, would your father really disregard the reputation of the Fourth Prince's Mansion for just you Go back with this King if he does! This King will grant your request."

Feng Lingxi heard his words, coldly glanced over Liu Mama, "If you want me to go back, you carry me back."

She bet that Duguo City wouldn't, after all, to carry her into the mansion in front of everyone. This was a matter of raising her status, and she didn't believe Duguo City would do it.

Just the next second, the whole person was lifted into the air. Dugu Cheng hugged her and strode quickly towards the mansion. Liu Mama was overjoyed and immediately had Xiaoli brought into the palace.

"Dugu City, I really underestimated you."

Held in his embrace, Feng Lingxi stared at his stern face, beginning to scrutinize him seriously.

"Then you look carefully, really look to see if it's truly small."

Dugu City curved his lips, his wicked gaze swept across her chest. Feng Lingxi didn't understand at first, meeting his unrestrained eyes, she raised her fist and punched him in the chest angrily, "You're asking for death."

"Xier, instead of constantly fighting with this King every day, why not treat him sincerely and wholeheartedly With time, feelings will develop naturally. Who knows, you might discover that marrying this King isn't a bad thing at all."

Hearing the phrase "love grows over time," Feng Lingxi's face darkened, she struggled to get down and looked at Dugu Cheng, "You didn't lose out, but I did."

Dugu Cheng saw her anger, his face full of bewilderment. He had already lowered himself, how could she still be angry He spoke to her like this, she shouldn't have considered it, even if she didn't consider it, it wouldn't be worth being angry about, right

"What do you mean by that Where did I go wrong"

獨孤城 muttered to himself, and Ye Xi on the side reminded him, "Your Highness, you got four words wrong. It's 'Love grows over time.'"

"How could these four characters be wrong"

Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Xi, seeing his expression stiffen, he didn't know how to explain.

"Fine, fine, it's not the first time she's been angry anyway. As long as she comes back."

"My Lord, what should we do with Grandma Liu"

When Dugu Cheng mentioned Mama Liu, his brows furrowed. "Punish her to the kitchen to prepare meals for Xi'er. And you," he said, turning to another, "bring me several quilts back to the room."

"My Lord, are you still sleeping on the floor"

Dugu City coldly scanned over, Ye Xi hurriedly covered her mouth, "This subordinate will go and do it right away."

"It's good enough to be able to sleep in a room," he said, not having the right to complain about sleeping on the floor. He explained that it was cooler to sleep on the floor because of the hot weather.

"Your Highness, we're back." Xiao Li looked at the Queen's gloomy face. "Actually, Your Majesty is quite good to you. About this matter, Your Majesty is standing on your side and didn't help Granny Liu."

"He's helping me, but he's also helping himself. Do you think he'd be willing to let an old woman keep tabs on what goes on in his house"

Feng Lingxi sat down, rubbed her temples, this time she didn't succeed, next time it would be even harder.

"Your Highness, perhaps you should seriously consider the King. After all, you two..."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, “If nothing had happened, I wouldn't know his intentions before. I could still consider it, but now, I can't see through him. Such a man, I can't truly give my heart to.”

Today's events made her see clearly that Dugu City wasn't the person she had seen before. Thinking about it, he was a veteran who had fought many battles, so how could he be simple

In terms of strategy and intelligence, she is never inferior to anyone.

"Your Highness, I think the King truly treats you well. Perhaps he's strong on the outside but deeply lonely inside, the type who is very good at spoiling people Think about it, he just carried you in from outside in front of everyone! Tomorrow everyone will know what happened today, and the whole capital will know how much the King dotes on you."

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Later, you help me go back to the house and take these pills to my mother. Tell her to be careful, I'll visit her tomorrow."

Today something happened, Dugu City will definitely not let her leave the house again.

“Your Highness, the Wangye has sent me to inform you that he asks you to prepare, in half an hour, he will accompany you back to the General’s Mansion to visit Madam,” Ye Xi reported at the door. Feng Lingxi was surprised, she hurriedly walked out and looked at Ye Xi standing outside the door, asking uncertainly, “You said that in half an hour he will accompany me back to the General’s Mansion”

Ye Xi respectfully said, "Your Highness, the King said he promised to accompany you back to the General's Mansion yesterday and would not break his word."

Xiao Li glanced at the princess, a smile blooming on her face.

"Your Highness, the Wangye has really put a lot of thought into this."

"That's right, Your Highness is truly sincere to his Royal Consort. I've never seen him care for any woman this much." Ye Xi seized the opportunity to speak well of His Highness. Feng Lingxi glanced at Ye Xi and Xiao Li, "You two are taking turns praising His Highness, one after another. Someone watching would think you had planned this."

Xiaoli heard the princess's words and hurriedly knelt down, "Princess, I am on your side."mile appeared on the Empress Dowager's face, "Then I shall take full charge."Watching the Empress Dowager leave, Dugu Yan clenched her fists, a cold glint flashing across her handsome face. She sat do...
