Chapter 70: Breakthrough on the Bed 34

King's beloved consort is the only legitimate daughter of the Feng family, yet she is treated worse than these two illegitimate daughters. You dare say that this King has wronged General Feng""When Li...Du Gu Cheng watched as she walked away so carefree, becoming even more depressed.

No matter what the Empress Dowager said, she listened to it. How could she possibly be with him For every word she spoke, he would retort with ten.

"Everyone's gone, what are you looking at"

Dugu Cheng hurriedly withdrew his gaze and hurried to his mother's side, massaging her shoulders.

“Mother, are you truly only giving us three months If I can't get her pregnant in three months, aren't you planning to let me divorce her”

"Doesn't the city lord dislike her If she can't conceive, just divorce her. Besides, you didn't marry her out of true love in the first place."

The words from the Dowager Empress caused Dugu City's face to change slightly. How could his father have told his mother all of this

"Father really says anything to Mother."

The Dowager Queen let out a cold snort, looking at her son's appearance and sternly rebuked him.

“If it weren’t for your father telling me about your faked death, I wouldn’t have known you were working with him to put on this show. You didn’t even tell me about such a big thing! Do you know how heartbroken and devastated I was when I first heard the news”

Dugu Cheng knelt down and sincerely apologized.

"Mother, the son had considered telling you, but if he did, there would be no way to eliminate the Empress's confidante. The son didn't want you involved, so he could only resort to this measure."

"What about Na Xier She was framed by those women in the General's Mansion, that's why she did those things to you. She even helped you detoxify and saved you from death's door. How can you be so vengeful Your mother thought you married her out of responsibility, but I didn't expect you to still hold a grudge."

The Dowager Queen let out a cold snort and glared at her son.

"When did your heart become so narrow, that you can't even tolerate such a thing"

“Mother, you don’t know, she overpowered me. You say if this gets out, how embarrassing…” Before he could finish, the Dowager Queen interrupted him, “What's embarrassing about it She had no choice, and you are a man. Could she really have forced you Besides, it takes two to clap. If you truly didn’t want it, even with her strong medicine, she couldn’t force you.”

Dugu Cheng listened to his mother's words, feeling utterly dejected.

"Mother, my son is a normal man, how could I have no reaction" He wasn't incapable, Mother said this as if he wasn't her biological child.

"Don't you know that she is an ordinary woman Then, he isn't a normal man In this family, the status of legitimate daughters is lower than that of illegitimate daughters. It is already extremely difficult to survive. When encountering such things, she has to be cautious every step of the way. Why can't you sympathize with her"

The Old Madam reprimanded him disapprovingly, and seeing his sullen expression, continued, "Don't think I don't know, Xi'er hasn't been pestering you relentlessly, it's you who insisted on seeking her out. She is a woman who has not clung to you after losing her chastity, but you, you went to great lengths to scheme against her, making her suffer so much before marrying into the王府."

"Mother Consort, who is your son after all"

Who told Mother Empress about these things

"Don't give me that."

The Old Dowager Empress rebuked, “Mother concubine has told you since you were young, this man cannot be frivolous with his affections, he cannot disappoint women, and he is absolutely not allowed to mistreat them, let alone, a woman who already suffers.”

"Mother, why is she so unfortunate I haven't mistreated her. And besides, with a woman like her, who knows who's truly mistreating whom"

獨孤城 thought about all the little things he had experienced with Feng Lingxi after they met. Feng Lingxi was very smart, so no one could bully her.

The old Empress dowager raised her hand and slapped him on the head, reprimanding, "Put yourself in her shoes and think about it. If it weren't for your father emperor telling me, I wouldn't have known you treated Xier this way. Let me tell you, Xier is a girl I like very much. If you dare to treat her badly, don't blame me for favoring her."

"You're already favoring her now."

How much more favoritism do you want

Dugu Cheng could already see his future position in this family, precarious.

The emperor is really something else, for the sake of pleasing his empress, he even tells her everything about him. The empress has always disliked men having three wives and four concubines, and now it's better, Feng Lingxi has another helper, and it's his own mother.

"Er'lang, your mother asks you, do you truly not want this girl Xi'er"

Dugu Cheng tightened his brows, looking at his mother's warning gaze. If he said no, he dared to guarantee that his mother would definitely beat him up.

"If you don't want her, your mother will take her in. Your mother needs a daughter. If you truly dislike her, just let her stay by your mother's side, and you can find someone else you like."

"Mother, you just now didn't ask me to have her pregnant within three months How..."

"So, Mother Empress has changed her mind"

The old princess's face darkened, and Dugu City only felt a tightness in his chest.

"If you don't like her, forcing you to be with her, you might even have a falling out with your mother in the future. At that time, ruining Xi'er's reputation and hurting her heart is worse than letting her go now and finding a man who is good to her."

"Mother, your son will not let her leave. The Crown Prince and she have a deep history, and Feng Lingxi and the Crown Prince's relationship is also unusual. If your son separates from her, the Crown Prince will surely take her into the East Palace. At that time, there will only be future troubles."

He would absolutely not allow Feng Ling Xi to return to the prince's side. His woman, Dugu Cheng, how could she possibly live in the East Palace.

"You're right, if Feng Ling Xi becomes the crown prince's person, she will become your biggest enemy, Cheng’er. Since you understand the pros and cons, you should know that Feng Ling Xi, this princess, is not just the direct daughter of the General's Mansion, but the entire General's Mansion."

"My concubine's meaning, the son understands. Since Feng Lingxi is already a person of the son, naturally he will not let her run away."

The Old Empress Dowager nodded. “I’ve arranged for Liu Mama to attend to you. Firstly, I want to observe Xier. Secondly, I wish to use my position as your mother-in-law to encourage Xier to bear a child for our Fourth Prince’s Mansion soon. In three months, the Western Regions envoy will arrive with a princess to form an alliance. I don't want you to be chosen, do you understand”

Dugu Cheng clasped his hands together, his eyes cold and sharp. "My son understands. Mother, rest assured, my son will do his best to make Xi'er conceive."

It's getting late, go back and rest. Tomorrow, your mother will have to stay in the palace for a few days.

"Mother, get some rest earlier."

Dugu City bade farewell to his mother and empress, then left Xixin Garden. Ye Xi hurried to follow him. Seeing the cold expression on the prince's face, she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what happened"

Three months later, the Western Regions envoy will come with the princess for a marriage alliance. At that time, the empress will surely give this princess from the Western Regions to me, and I shall have the prince marry her.eturned without my permission."Dugu Cheng looked at Xi'er's emotional eyes and asked, "Xi'er, do you want Yu Mo to come back"I kind of miss him."Should I have him come back Then we can celebrate the N...
