that she killed Lingyu. Although she had done it, the way he said it was eerie and unsettling. The couple's synchronized act of accusing her felt intentional."Turns out, it was this King who misunders..."Xi'er, let me introduce you to Luo QinYi."

After introducing Dugu City, he turned to Luo Qin'yi and introduced, "Yi Yi, this is my queen, Feng Lingxi."

Yiyi This intimate address, are Luo Qin Yi and Dugu Cheng very familiar

Luo Qin Yi bowed respectfully, raised her eyes, and greeted Feng Ling Xi with a gentle gaze.

"Yi Yi greets her elder sister, the Princess."

Sister Queen

Such a title surprised Feng Lingxi quite a bit. What was the relationship between Luo Qin'yi and Dugu Cheng Why did they call her Princess Sister Looking at Dugu Cheng’s gaze towards Luo Qin'yi, there seemed to be a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Feng Lingxi nodded, her chest feeling tight and uncomfortable.

"Xier, Yiyi will be staying in our mansion for about half a month. She'll leave when her people come to pick her up."

Duke Gucheng, with a smile on his face, said to Yan Yue: “Seeing Luo Qin'yi greet Feng Lingxi politely, it’s clear that he has a special fondness for her.”

"Excuse me for disturbing Princess Sister."

Luo Qin Yi bowed to Feng Ling Xi, her voice soft and melodious, like a yellow oriole. The weakness in her eyes made even another woman feel the need to protect her.

What kind of woman did this Dugu City bring back for her Was she a rival in love or someone he knew

"Since he's agreed, I have no objections." Feng Lingxi finished speaking and looked at Dugu City, "You arrange her living quarters, I have something to attend to so I'll leave first."

Feng Lingxi forcefully suppressed the displeasure in her heart. She had wanted to hear Dugu Cheng's explanation, but she didn't expect Dugu Cheng to agree, "Okay, this king will come find you later."

"Yiyi, this king will take you to your residence first. Have someone tidy up the West Courtyard for you. You can stay there temporarily."

Luo Qin'yi bowed to Feng Lingxi and clasped her hands together in greeting, "Your Highness, I shall take my leave now."

Feng Lingxi was seething with anger, watching Du Gucheng walk away with her. He kept a smile on his face the whole time, which just made her even more frustrated. He didn't even give her a proper explanation!

"Sister, this Luo Qin'yi doesn't seem like a good person at all. Doesn't she know that it's inappropriate for a young woman to live in someone else's house She's so close with brother-in-law, and he even smiles at her."

Feng Yu Mo complained dissatisfiedly, he was back, his brother-in-law ignored him, even for a woman, this was too depressing.

"Don't jump to conclusions, she might be a VIP. Don't overthink it."

Feng Lingxi soothed Feng Yu Mo, but she was actually comforting herself, lest she get angry and cause a big commotion.

"Your Highness, I'll go secretly keep an eye on her for you and see what this Luo Qin Yi is all about…"

"No."

Wind Ling Xi called out to Xiao Li, "Don't let people laugh at you. If this were my friend, I would be unhappy if Dugu City sent someone to watch them."

"Yu Mo, let's go see Wan'er together. It's been so long since we've seen each other, she misses you."

Feng Yu Mo and Xiao Li glanced at each other, knowing Feng Ling Xi's mood wasn't good. Neither dared to say much, they could only follow along silently.

Du Gucheng was supposed to settle Luo Qin'yi and then go find Feng Lingxi, but when evening came and it was time for dinner, he didn't come looking for Feng Lingxi. Upon inquiry, it was learned that Du Gucheng had someone deliver the dinner to Luo Qin'yi's side and they ate together.

Feng Lingxi was furious when she found out, but she still held back.

"Your Highness, I told you so, this Luo Qin'yi and the King's relationship isn't ordinary. Should I go take a look and investigate"

"No, get some rest."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, closed the door early, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She flipped through medical books in the room, but even at midnight, there was still no sign of Dugu City coming back. For the first time, Feng Lingxi experienced insomnia.

The door creaked open, Xiaoli stood at the doorway dozing off. Hearing the sound of the door, she jumped up and asked excitedly, "Princess Consort, has Lord Wang returned"

"Why didn't you go back to sleep"

Xiao Li glanced inside the room, seeing that the Queen was not yet dressed. She already understood.

"The slave doesn't feel at ease, so I came here to wait. Has the lord not returned yet"

"No need to wait, you can go rest first."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, closed the door, leaned against it with her eyes closed. This was the first time she felt hurt by Dugucheng's actions. Bringing a stranger woman back and telling her that she would be staying at the residence for half a month, promising to meet her but never doing so.

Dugu City, did you really find someone else Feng Ling Xi nodded, her eyes drooping, she sighed, but her eyes were wet.

Xiaoli glanced inside the room and walked towards the west courtyard. She couldn't let the Princess wait like this, unclear and uncertain. She had to find out what was going on.

As soon as Xiao Li arrived at Xi Yuan, she was discovered. The person who stopped her was Ye Xi. Seeing Ye Xi here, and in the dead of night, filled Xiao Li's eyes with disbelief. She hoped it wasn't what she thought it was.

"Xiaoli, how is it you"

Ye Xi's expression was full of surprise, but Xiao Li's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"Who do you hope is here"

“I…”

Ye Xi swallowed the words she had almost spoken. Xiao Li glanced at the lit courtyard of the west wing, her heart aching for the princess as she thought about her.

"Is the Lord in Loy Qin'yi now"

Ye Xi looked at Xiao Li's questioning eyes, hesitated for a moment and nodded. Xiao Li raised her hand and slapped Ye Xi hard, tears streaming down her face.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourselves for treating the Princess like this"

Xiao Li's question made Ye Xi lower her head, clenching her fists, but she didn't give her an answer.

"Ye Xi, tell me, what exactly is Luo Qin Yi's identity Why would she appear here Is she the new favorite of the King"

"Xiao Li, that's not how it is, actually..."

Ye Xi wanted to explain, but he didn't know how. Seeing Xiao Li's tears streaming from the corner of her eyes, he was truly distressed.

Xiao Li took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and looked at the lights in the distance, "Do you still want me to keep your secret from the princess"

Ye Xi didn't speak, but his attitude was already very clear.

"You're not asking me why I'm here, are you Because the princess waited for the prince to return and opened the door, waking me up. The prince hasn't returned yet, so I came here to take a look... I didn't expect this at all."

A man is still a man, after all. He gets tired of things quickly and begins to dislike the princess.

"Little Li, don't tell the Queen."

Ye Xi raised her eyes and said, Xiao Li glared at him, then turned and left.

In Xiyuan's room, candles flickered. The two people sitting at the table remained silent for a while. After a long silence, Dugu Cheng stood up and placed his hands behind his back, standing in front of the door, gazing at Ye Xi's position with a complex expression.

"Master, since you chose this path, you should have known that this day would eventually come."

Luo Qin'i stood up and walked to Dugu Cheng's side. Her voice was no longer as tender as it was when she entered the mansion, but instead had a few more points of coldness.
