Chapter 243: Palace Change 87

s fingers, "How I say it is also forced by you, and you are also my first woman. How could I not hold you responsible"Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes and met Du Gu Cheng's gaze, unable to help but ask, "..."Don't cry."

Feng Ling reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes. Seeing her cry so heartbroken, this pitiful appearance didn't seem like a pretense at all. It seemed that she had been bullied quite a bit by Feng Linglong in the palace. But how could she be bullied by Feng Linglong when she was able to marry Dugu Yan

"Xier, I really don't want to argue with her. It all happened because the Emperor mistakenly thought I was her elder sister in the first place. I never intended to fight over a man with her, Xier, you have to believe me. I didn't do it on purpose."

The wind and rain whispered as if in sorrow, tears streaming down her face like she had endured countless injustices. It was a sight that evoked pity.

Wind Ling hurriedly soothed her, "Alright, don't cry first. Let's go back and talk about it."

Feng Ling Xi gave Du Gu Cheng a glance, watched as he led the horse over, and Feng Yu Xi mounted her horse. They headed back to Lin Xi County.

I have to say, it's really a coincidence. They just appeared as soon as the storm clouds rolled in. If this was a coincidence, she couldn't find a reason to convince herself. But since they're here, let them stay and see what tricks she has up her sleeve.

"Xier, thank you and the Fourth Prince, today if I hadn't met you, I was afraid..."

Feng Yu Xi's voice choked up, and the tears she had barely held back came streaming down again. Feng Ling Xi seeing this, could only continue to comfort her.

"Third Sister, it's all over now."

As rain fell, Feng Yu Xi secretly glanced at Du Gu Cheng while wiping her tears. She noticed that he didn't look at her from beginning to end, which made her a little confused.

"Fourth King, you wouldn't disdain me, would you"

When Dugu Cheng was about to answer, Feng Yu Xi burst into tears and said, "I know my appearance now makes you very embarrassed, but I really have nowhere to go. I..." Feng Yu Xi cried again, and a vein popped on Dugu Cheng's forehead. He was really overacting.

"How is that possible Third Sister, you're overthinking. The King is merely annoyed that he didn't kill the two of them just now and give Third Sister justice." She said this while looking at Dugu City, gesturing for him to remain calm.

"Your Majesty told me that upon your emperor's ascension, Shen Yun and Feng Linglong were both bestowed the title of Noble Consort, while you were also bestowed the title of Consort. Given the emperor's affection for you, how could you possibly be afraid of them Why then were you demoted to a Noble Consort"

Because they all had a dragon embryo in their belly.

Feng Yu Xi bit her lip, "I have never been able to conceive a dragon child. Furthermore, my elder sister has been constantly framing me, causing me to lose the Emperor's favor and even reporting me to the Empress Dowager, claiming that I seduced the Emperor. The Empress Dowager, furious, demoted me to a noble lady."

"It seems Feng Linglong truly hates you. While others enter the palace step by step, yours has been downgraded. No wonder you feel so frustrated." Feng Lingxi's words made Feng Yuxi cry even harder. "I don't want this either, but I really didn't do it on purpose."

"Didn't your father make the decision for you"

Feng Lingxi watched Feng Yu Xi cry so passionately, this consolation was about to be exhausted.

Wind and rain wiped away her tears, she shook her head, "Father went to war, he doesn't know how elder sister treated me like this. You also know that my mother was only made a noble consort later, she can't be compared to your mother. I was driven out of the palace, my mother cried and complained, but she couldn't do anything for me."

"He went on a campaign"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "If it were our father guarding the city, this Gallo Kingdom wouldn't be able to break into the capital. The other smaller countries would probably give up too. Then, when their focus shifts, will they come for us"

"This is all the Emperor's doing."

Feng Yu Xi bit her lip, "How could I have never imagined that my elder sister would be so cruel as to make me a military camp prostitute Is she not even my own flesh and blood"

"Your sister is ruthless, this isn't the first time you know that. You stole her man, it's no wonder she's angry."

"But the Emperor favors not her, but you."

As soon as the conversation between Feng Yu Xi and Du Gu Cheng ended, Du Gu Cheng's face darkened. Feng Yu Xi quickly explained, "Your Highness, I meant no disrespect. I was just..."

"You're too naive. Dugu Yan never liked me; she just wanted to use me. Who would like an idiot"

Feng Lingxi swept a cold glance over, "Furthermore, he was the Prince back then, noble and esteemed. What kind of woman did he not have"

Both of the Feng family's daughters married him, and he told her he liked her. How ridiculous.

In the past, she probably would have thought that Dugu Yan liked Feng Lingxi from before, because although she was silly, she had a pure heart. But now, she realized that Dugu Yan wanted only Zi Xing from the beginning to the end.

All those love stories, they're all lies.

Feng Yu Xi looked at Dugu Cheng silently, then tentatively spoke, "Xi'er, in fact, the Emperor has you in his heart. He told me that he likes your pure and innocent nature. He also said that the eldest sister is too suspicious and her schemes are too deep, making him unable to see through her."

"A pure disposition"

Feng Lingxi sneered, "It's a pretty good word, it's just a pity that using it on me is a joke."

"I never would have guessed that he, Dugu Yan, actually liked Xi'er."

Even the emperor didn't bother to use his title, calling him directly by name. Dugu Cheng's sour tone made Feng Lingxi feel a little flustered. Wasn't this fellow jealous Didn't everyone know that Dugu Yan's feelings for her were fake How could he still be jealous.

"My lord, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have talked nonsense and worried you. I'm sorry."

Feng Yu apologized repeatedly, her eyes red and teary. It seemed like she would cry if he didn't forgive her, which made Du Gu Cheng increasingly exasperated.

"You are still his woman, after all. You were driven out of the palace, wouldn't he care at all"

Mentioning this, Feng Yu Xi's tears fell like rain, choking back a sob, "The Emperor did want to keep me, but the Empress Dowager wouldn't allow it."

"It's pathetic, forcing your own woman to be a camp follower. But how did you manage to escape from the army"

When it came to military prostitutes, Feng Yu Xi's expression became somewhat flustered. She subconsciously clutched at her collar, biting her lip and looking wronged. This made Feng Ling Xi's brow furrow slightly. Could she have really been violated by the soldiers

"Third Sister, you really..."

"Wind and rain, I looked up and shook my head hastily. 'No, I've been trying to escape all the way. After all, I am the Emperor's woman, they didn't dare do anything to me, that's why I had the chance to escape. But I didn't expect that when they saw me run away, they would pursue me. Perhaps, my elder sister has long wanted to kill me.'"

"Just now, this king shouldn't have let them live and go back." Dugu Cheng angrily hissed, "Those beasts, they truly deserve to die."

"There will be another time. Let's take Third Sister back first, she's exhausted too."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yuxi, revealing a comforting smile, "Third sister, you can stay here with us. With us around, nothing will happen to you."

"Thank you, Fourth Master, thank you, Xier. If it weren't for you two today, I'm afraid I would have died. Your kindness, I will repay you even if I become a cow or a horse."

"What are you saying, you're my third sister!"

Feng Lingxi smiled and comforted her, looking at the fleeting gleam of triumph in her eyes, he ignored it, and took her back.cess. I humbly ask for your forgiveness, Your Majesty the Empress."The Empress hurriedly helped her up, looking at her frightened eyes. "What are you doing This Palace was admiring you, that's why I s...
