""The daughter-in-law obeys."Looking at her mother's hints, Feng Lingxi's heart pounded. Could the empress be looking for her to settle a scoreOtherwise, how would the Empress Dowager have told her to..."Fourth younger brother, please calm down. This palace only came to see Xier..."
"Silence! Xi'er is this king's fourth consort. The Crown Prince, remember your place!"
Dugu Cheng's words made Dugu Yan's face pale. It was because he married Xi'er that the distance between him and Xi'er became so vast. Looking at his beloved woman lying here, while he could do nothing, he hated it so much, yet he didn't know how to help her.
Du Gucheng looked at his expression now, his face even colder, "If the Crown Prince is truly for Xi'er's good, just live your life well and don't think about her anymore. She has this King, she doesn't need the Crown Prince's concern."
When Dugu Yan heard this, her face turned even paler. She knew that Xi'er had married the fourth brother. Although their father had made him crown prince, he was the one who protected the throne of Yuanxing Dynasty. If he fought with him for Xi'er, he would lose more than just Xi'er; he might even lose his position as crown prince.
"When my sister wakes up, please let the fourth brother know. Then I will go back."
獨孤雁 unwillingly glanced at Feng Lingxi, then turned and left.
Feng Lingxi opened her eyes and looked at Du Gu Cheng's cold face. This concern from Du Gu Yan really puzzled her. Was the relationship between the original owner and Du Gu Yan really that good
Otherwise, how could he be so deeply in love with her
"Does Xi'er think that this King shouldn't treat the Crown Prince this way, and feel sorry for him"
Dugu Cheng's voice was cold, tinged with a hint of jealousy. Seeing her dejected expression, he became irritated. He treated her so well, why didn't Xi'er reciprocate his feelings Could it be that she still had feelings for Dugu Yan
"I wouldn't say I feel sorry for him, but I think he's rather pitiful."
Knowing she was doing it on purpose, Dugu City still got irritated by her. Couldn't she see that he was jealous
Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Cheng's gloomy handsome face and suddenly found him rather adorable. She wanted to get up, but he pressed her down. Feng Lingxi frowned, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly let go, his expression a little unnatural, and said, “Wait for me, I’ll handle this first, and I’ll come out later.”
Feng Lingxi responded, and after Dugu Cheng went out to make arrangements, Feng Lingxi got up and went out. She returned in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea and lay back on the bed. Looking at Dugu Cheng, Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a little confused.
"You're holding on, waiting until after you drink the imperial physician's medicine, then waking up."
Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Dugu City standing by her bedside. She took out her surgical knife and twirled it in her hand. Dugu City looked at the knife in her hand. Upon closer inspection, he realized that everything she made was very delicate.
"Are these for self-defense"
"My master used to have a set of these, and I've always wanted them. But he never gave them to me, so I decided to make my own. Also, thank you, Lord Wang, for giving me the money."
獨孤城的嘴角揚起一絲微笑，聽到她說謝謝，心情十分愉悅。
"You are the king's consort, this amount of money is nothing. Whatever you like in the future, just ask someone to deliver it to the palace, and this king will pay for it."
Then, thank you, Your Highness.
Feng Lingxi, after thanking him, noticed that Dugu City was staring at her. The smile on his face made her feel uncomfortable. Was he under the impression she liked him Their interactions seemed to be heading in that direction.
"My Lord, the medicine for the Lady has arrived."
Xiao Li, standing at the door, held out the medicine and shouted. Dugu Cheng gave her a wink and walked over to open the door. Xiao Li entered with the medicine, and the imperial physician behind her also followed. Watching Feng Lingxi swallow the medicine, he stepped forward to take her pulse.

"Physician, is there any hope for improvement"
Dugu Cheng's voice was anxious, completely unlike the ease with which he had been conversing with Feng Lingxi just moments ago.
The imperial physician hurriedly bowed, "Reporting to Your Highness, the Empress' pulse seems much stronger. After taking the medicine, the Empress should wake up soon."
"Very good. Come, escort the Imperial Physician out of the palace."
With everyone else out of the room, Dugong City watched Feng Lingxi's medicinal residue at her lips. He reached out to wipe it for her. Feng Lingxi opened her eyes and hurriedly wiped it with her sleeve. "Do I not have to act anymore"
The sky outside has darkened. This King will get you something to eat. Stay here and don't wander off, this King will have Xiao Li attend to you.
Dugu Cheng went out, and Xiao Li came in. Seeing that the princess was fine, she was so excited.
"Your Highness, you are awake."
Feng Lingxi responded and, seeing the worry on her face, comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Xiao Li's failure to perform his duties caused the Princess injury, and he hopes for the Princess' forgiveness."
"It's fine, get up."
It seems that Dugu City even deceived Xiaoli, but the fewer people who know the truth about this matter, the better. Otherwise, if they were discovered, they would be in trouble.
Xiaoli's eyes were red, and she looked at Feng Lingxi with some guilt. However, there was nothing she could do about it now. This Zhao-ran County Princess had given her a jade hairpin, and coincidentally, it broke her own jade hairpin. If she didn't arrest the eldest son of the Minister's Mansion, she would probably be skinned alive.
The Empress's meaning was very clear, and she also knew that she and the Empress were not on the same side.
Dugu City brought over the food, and Feng Lingxi finished her meal. Then, she had someone send out a message saying that Feng Lingxi had woken up.
When Dugu Yan learned that Feng Lingxi had woken up, she was overjoyed and couldn't wait to visit her. This made Zhaoran County Princess so furious that her eyes were about to burst into flames, but she dared not show her anger.
"Your Highness, my sister is fine. You should rest early. I will attend to you and help you change into your sleep clothes."
Zhao Ran Junzhu wanted to step forward and help Dugu Yan take off her outer robe, but he dodged her. Dugu Yan looked at Zhao Ran Junzhu, the smile on his face gradually disappearing. "Your Highness, the Crown Princess should go to sleep early. This palace still has matters to attend to, and there is no need for Your Highness to wait for this palace tonight."
"When Dugu Yan finished speaking, he was about to leave. Princess Zhaoran hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, tomorrow is the day Feng Side Concubine enters the mansion. Can't you stay with your concubine for one night tonight"
Dugu Yan's footsteps came to a halt. Hearing her words, he remembered that tomorrow was the big day for him and Feng Linglong. If it weren't for wanting to figure out what Xi'er was up to, he wouldn't have found Feng Linglong, let alone...
Now it's too late for him to say anything. He married Princess Zhaoran and now has another woman, Feng Linglong. Can he still be with Xi'er
Dugu Yan's heart sank. Looking at the expectation in Princess Zhaoran's eyes, she reached out, "Help this palace change my clothes."
Women he didn't love were brought to him one after another, but the woman he loved became his sister-in-law. Even though he wanted Xi'er, he dared to fight with Dugu City for her. He was destined to fail and lose his kingdom.
Besides, what qualifications does he have now to say love to Xi'er
Zhao Ran County Princess, seeing the pain in Dugu Yan's eyes, reached out and hugged his waist, softly saying, "This concubine knows that Your Highness likes the Fourth Princess, but Your Highness mustn't forget, if you fight with Cheng Gege for a woman, your mother will be angry, and your father will even be furious, and the position of Crown Prince will be in jeopardy."oked at Xiao Li beside her, "What is that place"Xiao Li shook her head, she wasn't really going out, how would she know what Fengminglou was."Your Highness, Phoenix Pavilion is my lord's winehouse in...
