esponded and retreated. Feng Ling Xi's brow furrowed tightly. After these days of hard work, she had finally relaxed her breath. Now it seemed that these matters would cause her worry again. The stor...Dugu Cheng lay below, lying on his side watching Feng Lingxi who was fast asleep. Today's performance truly surprised him. He knew she had medical skills, but he didn't know her thoughts were so delicate, thinking things so comprehensively, totally different from what he knew before.

He suddenly wondered, was she truly stupid, or was she faking it

Ten years, if she was truly foolish, what was she covering up for For her mother, Zhang

But why, after all this time, has he suddenly changed so drastically He even disregards his position as the Fourth Royal Concubine.

He suddenly became very curious about Feng Lingxi and wanted to know the secrets she was hiding.

Just staring at her until the middle of the night, Dugu City suddenly had an idea. Anyway, she was sleeping so soundly, he should be able to sleep on top of her without her noticing, right

Thus, Dugu Cheng stealthily climbed onto the bed and lay beside Feng Ling Xi. Seeing her unresponsive, a slight smile curved his lips, and an indescribable joy filled his heart. Just as he closed his eyes, suddenly his body was kicked away with a thud, sending Dugu Cheng sprawling to the ground.

Feng Ling Xi opened her eyes and looked at him, "What do you want to do staying up in the middle of the night"

Alone City covered his wounded spot, with resentful eyes said, "Xier, this king just wanted to go on the bed and sleep, there's no other meaning."

"If Your Highness wishes to go to bed, then please retire to your chambers."

"My lord, what has happened"

Ye Xi's voice came from outside the door. Du Gu Cheng's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Nothing, I bumped into something."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, lay down, rolled over, and coldly reminded, "Your Highness, don't be reckless."

He didn't let him try the medicine because he helped her today. If he thought about her in any way because of this, then he was thinking too highly of himself.

Regardless of what Dugu City says, she won't let down her guard. After all, his past actions have already made her wary.

Dugu Cheng patted the dust off his body, glanced at her, and resignedly returned to his own stall and lay down, sighing. This woman, how could she be so ruthless Did she not care at all about his status as the Fourth Prince Consort

You know, how many women desire this position of the Fourth Princess Consort, yet she treats it so carelessly. If word got out that the esteemed War God, the Fourth Prince, couldn't even climb onto his own wife's bed, people would surely laugh at him. But for some reason, he actually seems to enjoy sharing a room with her.

Wind Ling Xi was also awake. When Du Gu Cheng lay beside her, she felt it. She wanted to just let it go, but thinking about how indulging him would only lead to her clothes being looser tomorrow, she couldn't.

As night deepened, Feng Lingxi awoke to find Dugu City already up. Outside, there was a commotion of voices and activity. As she rose, Feng Lingxi saw maidservants bustling about in the courtyard, carrying things. They curtsied hastily upon seeing her.

"Greetings to the Queen."

Feng Lingxi looked at the empty table and chairs, puzzled. "Where did they move to"

"Your Highness, this is what the Master ordered. He asked me to clean out the room next to yours and turn it into a pharmacy for you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the courtyard in front of her. Dugu City was directing there. As she walked over, Dugu City saw her and stepped forward, pulling her, “Xier, come and see if the arrangement is satisfactory”

Feng Lingxi looked at the furnishings in the room. It was like a pharmacy, very spacious with unnecessary things removed. The decoration was quite good.

"This is decorated like an apothecary. It's a bit small, but it's close to your room. You can go back easily after you're done. I figured out that buying some medicinal herbs should be enough."

"It's so close to the room, wouldn't the prince be afraid of the smell being too strong and unbearable"

Dugu City smiled and said, "Xi'er's medicinal scent gives this king a sense of security. This king likes to be close, how could he bear it"

Feng Lingxi glanced at him and said faintly, "Since the King doesn't mind, then thank you for your kindness."

A hint of a smile touched Dugu Cheng's lips. Being able to hear her thank him was no easy feat.

"As for helping you, Your Highness, this King would be delighted to do so. Is there anything else you need Just speak your mind."

Five large water tanks and five large buckets, best placed in a room.

Dugu Cheng glanced around, "Otherwise, this King will make a room available next door"

"My lord, if you move forward any farther, you'll be at your study."

This entire yard will henceforth be permeated with the scent of medicine.

This was the plan, to marry a princess and take revenge on her. Now look at this posture, is this revenge This is clearly appeasement.

"Then one each, just leave them here."

Feng Lingxi spoke, looked around the room, and pointed behind the screen. "Place it there."

"Xier, how about freeing up a room Two won't be enough for both of you."

"It's fine, I'm not a pharmacy, so it doesn't matter too much."

Seeing her say this, Dugu Cheng recalled what his father had said yesterday, and he left the room with her.

"Xier, have you thought of a countermeasure to what Father Emperor said yesterday"

"I wonder if Your Highness has any good ideas"

Feng Lingxi didn't answer, instead she asked back, "Do you believe he has the ability It's just whether he'll help me strategize or not."

She agreed to treat the emperor, and she might very well become the person who murdered him.

"This king thinks Mother Consort's suggestion is best. Let the Emperor come to the manor frequently and receive treatment here. This would be the safest option."

"Has the Prince ever considered that if the Emperor were to be treated here and something went wrong upon his return, how would you explain it"

Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, "Xier means that even if we come here, someone will find an opportunity to take action and frame us"

"Does this lord still need to ask me"

Feng Lingxi walked into the pavilion and sat down. Xiaoli hurriedly served tea and stood beside her.

"The prince knows in his heart that at this banquet, although I didn't intend to get involved when I treated my father, I was targeted. You also know my father's health, if they really make a move, if something happens to my father, the one who takes the blame will be me."

"Xi'er sees through it."

Wind Ling took a sip of tea. Could she not see through it

If you are a little careless, you could lose your life at any time.

If the palace were truly so pleasant, how could there be the saying "once you enter the palace gates, it's as deep as the sea"

"I know what you said, but if you don't take action, my father's poison might be impossible to cure. Now, the entire palace is under the Empress's control. There's one more thing I need to tell you: this Princess Zhaoran is from the Empress's family. If she becomes the Crown Princess, she will definitely make trouble for you."

"I already knew yesterday." Feng Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng, "It's just that I don't understand why she didn't marry directly into the mansion and become your concubine. Wouldn't that be better"

Dugu City held her hand, which made Feng Lingxi jerk back suddenly. Dugu City smiled instead.smile on her face, reaching out to touch Wan'er's face. "This must be Princess Wan'er, right She truly is the daughter of the Princess Consort Chen and King Chen. Even at such a young age, she already...
