armacy was still bustling. The young apprentice was busy attending to customers, while Li Wuyan sat seeing patients. Most of his time, however, was spent tinkering with his medicinal herbs in the cour...Feng Ling Xi was truly exhausted, she didn't even notice him entering the room. Du Gu Cheng carefully moved, avoiding anything, and quietly crept to the bed. Looking at Feng Ling Xi sleeping soundly, gazing at her beautiful slumbering face, those pink, tempting red lips, Du Gu Cheng's throat tightened, suddenly wanting to taste them.

This woman, at first glance, faced him with strength. After bringing her back, she wouldn't let him touch her. She was venomous, extremely venomous. Thinking of the previous lessons he had learned, Du Gucheng suppressed his impulsive thoughts. He dared to be certain that if he kissed her, his tongue would probably be cut off by her.

He unconsciously touched his tongue, Dugu Cheng shifted his gaze, not looking would prevent the impulse.

Dugu City looked at the space beside Feng Lingxi, he lay down, just the right width, and he could be close to Xi'er. But, if Xi'er found out, he would probably get a beating.

He swallowed nervously, Dugu Cheng tiptoed to the cabinet and took out the bedding inside. He skillfully spread it out and lay down on top, lying on his side watching Xi'er. A smile appeared on his handsome face. Just looking at her like this was pretty good too.

Maybe Xier wouldn't sleep at night, she fell down and landed right in his arms.

Thinking like this, Dugong City felt sweet even sleeping on the ground and soon fell asleep.

Feng Lingxi, lying on the bed, opened her eyes and glanced at Dugu City on the floor. As soon as he came in, she knew it was him. At first, she thought he was an assassin. When she smelled the scent on his body, she realized it was him. She pretended to be asleep, wanting to see what he would do. Unexpectedly, he just spread a mat on the floor and slept there.

The next day, before dawn, Ye Xi's voice woke up the two people in the room. Feng Ling Xi opened her eyes and met Dugu City's awakened gaze. Their eyes locked, Dugu City grinned at Feng Ling Xi, while the latter coldly glanced over, seemingly indifferent, and walked past to open the door.

"What happened"

Ye Xi saw the Princess come out and hurriedly stepped forward to report, "Princess, the King is gone, he…"

Before he could finish, a light cough was heard from inside the room. Dugu City walked out, his handsome face ashen. Xiao Li's eyes widened, but the next second, she was startled by the Queen's cold gaze and retracted her gaze. However, the astonishment on her face was no less than Ye Xi's.

"My Lord, did you really climb through the window into your wife's room last night"

When Ye Xi spoke, Du Gucheng really wanted to slap this speechless Ye Xi to death. He had embarrassed him so much.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has arrived."

The maidservant came to report, Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City once, "Get ready."

Du Gu Cheng heard her words, excitedly ran inside and hurriedly tucked the bedding into the closet. Xi Er didn't get angry, so wouldn't he still be able to sleep in her room tonight

Ye Xi walked to the door and glanced at it, then quickly withdrew her gaze. It was too embarrassing. The King's face must have been completely ruined!

Dugu City tidied up and walked out, seeing Ye Xi standing at the door, he stepped forward and punched him, saying angrily, "Ye Xi, didn't you bring your brain when you went out Where else could this king be besides the study"

Ye Xi touched her head, awkwardly smiling.

"My lord, isn't this me worrying about your safety If something happened to you, how would I explain it to the old Madam"

Dugu Cheng coldly snorted, “Next time, be more clever, or I won't help you find a wife for the rest of your life.”

Ye Xi hurriedly chased after him, "Your Highness, you can't do this like that. At least leave the maid by the Queen's side for me, right"

Dugu Cheng stopped his steps, looked at Ye Xi, "Want her" Ye Xi scratched his head embarrassedly, Dugu Cheng swept him with a cold glance, "Why should this king give her to you"

After finishing her speech, she left in a huff. Ye Xi was dejected and hurriedly chased after her, "Your Highness, wait for me."

Feng Lingxi arrived at the front hall and saw Zhao Ran, the county princess, who had dressed up carefully. When she saw Feng Lingxi, Zhao Ran immediately got up and walked towards her, taking her hand and looking very happy.

"I have seen the Crown Princess."

"Princess Zhaoran smiled and said, 'Don't go through with these formalities. The reason I came to see you today is to talk about yesterday's events.'"

Feng Lingxi looked at the smile on her face. Could what happened yesterday have been about the General's Mansion

"I don't know what the Crown Princess is talking about"

Princess Zhaoran pulled her down and said with excitement, "It's about what you did at General's Mansion yesterday. You wouldn't believe it, the whole capital knows now! This palace truly admires you. You have no idea how Feng Linglong returned to the Prince's Mansion, her face was ashen, like she had eaten excrement, foul and disgusting. Even the Prince reprimanded her last night. She has lost her mother, and for the next three months, the Prince won't touch her."

Feng Lingxi looked at the gloating expression of Zhuo Ran, the county princess, and couldn't feel a bit happy.

The colder Feng Linglong was treated, the more she hated her.

Zhao Ran, the County Princess, looked at Feng Ling Xi without a word. The smile on her face vanished, and her voice turned slightly cold. “Why, aren’t you happy for this palace”

Feng Lingxi saw that she was angry and said lightly, "Even if Feng Linglong is missing, there will be other women who enter the Prince's Mansion."

"What do you mean by that"

Zhao Ran County Princess frowned, but when she thought about the prince's attitude towards her now, she didn't think it was a big deal.

"The Crown Prince will inherit the throne in the future, with three thousand beautiful women in the harem. This palace won't be jealous, as long as this palace conceives a son for the Crown Prince, then the position of Crown Princess will belong to this palace, and no one can take it away."

"The Crown Princess is right, it's this concubine who overthought things."

Princess Zhao looked at her like this, somewhat bored.

"You're always giving me that cold shoulder. Even the Fourth Prince gets tired of this eventually. I heard Empress Dowager is going to arrange a concubine for him. You can't keep acting like this, you know People who don't know will think you're jealous. Then wouldn't it be bad if you were labeled as spiteful"

Feng Lingxi smiled, "The Crown Princess's teachings are well-taken. Your servant will be more careful in the future."

Princess Zhaoran stood up, “Well, this is pointless. It’s no fun talking to you like this. I'm going back to the palace.”

"Bidding farewell to the Crown Princess."

After bidding farewell to Princess Zhaoran, Feng Lingxi went to have breakfast. Duguo Cheng also arrived and, seeing that her expression was unchanged, he asked, "Xier, what did the Crown Princess want with you so early"

Yesterday, Feng Linglong returned to the mansion after being scolded by the Crown Prince. She lost his favor and, coupled with the loss of her mother, was ostracized.

"If Feng Linglong was ostracized, wouldn't she hate you to death"

Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, “Being out of favor now is nothing. If she became pregnant, and rose to power, then she would be a greater threat to you.”

Feng Lingxi hummed in agreement. He had to admit, he saw through things clearly and analyzed them thoroughly, just as she had thought.

"The Crown Princess found you to talk about this, Feng Linglong knows that you and the Crown Princess are so close, she might even think that you're colluding with the Crown Princess against her. Her hatred for you will probably deepen."

"Your Highness sees through everything. Feng Linglong and I, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be times when one of us is present while the other is absent."

Liu's death, Feng Linglong even lost her sister Feng Lingyu. It seems she's willing to risk everything and fight to the end.

Dugu Cheng's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Feng Lingxi took the opportunity to say, "If Your Highness wants to divorce me, why not do it now..."

"Xi'er is overthinking. If that were the case, this king would divorce you, then what kind of man would I be"

If you want to take a leave, there's no way. hand and quickly walked to Feng Lingxi's side, her excitement evident."Sister, how did you get here"No sooner had he spoken than he hastily explained, "No, I meant how did you know I was here"Feng Li...
