Chapter 75: Fighting on the Bed (Part 39)
et out a cold snort, looking at Feng Yu Xi's suspicious eyes, a surge of anger rising in her chest."This, I heard with my own ears. This Shen Yun and Princess Yao Hua are probably teaming up against u...Seeing Xiao Li frightened like this, Feng Lingxi calmly said, “Get up, clean up.”
Xiao Li hurriedly thanked and got up to go inside and pack her things. Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi, "You go back and tell the King that I will leave on time."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ye Xi turned and was about to leave. Feng Ling Xi thought of something and called out to him. Ye Xi turned back, looking at the queen's thoughtful eyes, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what Your Majesty wishes"
"Ye Xi, I ask you, that night, what time did you find your Lord Wang"
Ye Xi's body trembled when she heard the Queen suddenly inquire about that night. After some thought, she truthfully reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I went there at around two in the morning."
Two hours after, that is, half an hour after she and Dugu Cheng finished their business, he should not have seen anything.
"What did you see that night"
Ye Xi shook her head like a rattle, "Your Highness, I didn't see anything. When I arrived, the Lord..."
Ye Xi slapped himself, he said this, wouldn't the princess be even angrier
Feng Lingxi lightly coughed twice, "Alright, it's fine now, you can go back."
Ye Xi felt relieved and quickly agreed to leave.
"Your Highness, everything is packed." Xiaoli stepped forward, watching the princess enter and hurriedly stood aside, serving her carefully, afraid that the princess might bring up what just happened.
"Xiao Li, today when you go back, don't tell your mother about what happened today. Don't worry her."
Xiao Li replied and thought for a moment before asking the question that had been bothering her, "Princess Consort, do you think the Duke will tell your parents about what happened today if he accompanies you back"
"He won't." Feng Lingxi's tone was firm, "He's not that foolish. He went to such lengths to keep me here because he didn't want me to make a big deal out of what happened today."
"If that were really the case, then the princess's life in the manor would be much better afterwards."
Xiao Li finished speaking, Feng Lingxi gave her a wink and whispered, "In the future, you can't say things like that here."
Xiao Li responded, and the two tidied up. When it was time, they saw Dugu Cheng come to pick her up personally. This kind of treatment surprised Feng Ling Xi a bit. It seemed that as she thought, Dugu Cheng really didn't want to make a big deal out of things.
"Xier, the carriage is waiting outside."
Ye Xi came back and told him that Xi'er had asked about what happened that night. Dugu Cheng was now puzzled, wondering why she suddenly cared about what happened that night. Could it be that she wanted to investigate what happened that night
Feng Lingxi brought all the pills for her mother, and looked at Dugu Cheng, "Let's go."
獨孤城看著她的態度，有些吃驚，他還以為她會給他冷臉看，冇想到她竟然語氣緩和了不少，莫非是被他現在做法給感動到了？ 獨孤城 was surprised by her attitude. He thought she would give him the cold shoulder, but unexpectedly, her tone had softened a lot. Could it be that she was moved by what he was doing now
As soon as they got in the carriage, Dugu City fell silent. He sat opposite Feng Lingxi, clearing his throat several times, wanting to start a conversation but not knowing where to begin. So he just kept clearing his throat, over and over again. Hearing those coughs, Feng Lingxi frowned.
"My lord, is your throat uncomfortable"
Du Gu Cheng hurriedly pinched his throat, "This king scolded Liu Mama harshly, I suppose scolding her for too long made my voice uncomfortable."
Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "Your Highness doesn't know that Madam Liu is Empress Dowager's person. You scold her like this, when the Empress Dowager finds out, she will think it was I who instigated you to scold Madam Liu. Your Highness... I don't even know whether to thank you or..."
"Xi'er, this empress dowager would never blame you. This time, Liu Mammy was in the wrong first. This king has already reprimanded her thoroughly, letting her know that she is too unrestrained and unable to distinguish between master and servant. She will be punished by working in the kitchen to prepare your meals and have half of her monthly salary deducted."
After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he saw Feng Lingxi remained silent. He was a little unsure how to continue the conversation.
"Xi'er, that Liu Mammy is also Mother Empress's person after all. Mother Empress sent her to keep an eye on Wang and you. Although Wang had her sent to the kitchen to take care of your diet, Wang feels that sleeping in separate rooms is still inappropriate. How about Wang having someone move the bedding into the room You sleep on your bed, and Wang continues to sleep on the floor. What do you think"
If we can't sleep in the same room tonight, this matter will reach Mother's ears, and then things will really get out of hand.
"If Your Highness has made up your mind, you may move inside to sleep, but the rules cannot be changed."
Dugu Cheng's face beamed with delight. He quickly replied, "Of course! This king wouldn't harm you."
Seeing him automatically say he wanted to sleep on the floor, Feng Lingxi was still very surprised. After all, he was the War God King. To proactively suggest returning to the room to sleep on the floor, wouldn't this spread rumors that he was afraid of his wife
"My Lord, do you truly not wish to divorce me"
Dugu Cheng's face stiffened, looking at Feng Lingxi's serious expression, "Why do you always want to divorce me, Xi'er Haven't I been good to you"
Now he truly doubted if he was really that bad, enough to make her so disdainful of him, always thinking about leaving him.
"Your Highness should know that regardless of my status or upbringing, I am not worthy of you. My reputation in the capital, Your Highness is well aware of it. For fifteen years, I have been foolish and naive, incapable and unable to bring any glory. If the Emperor ever summons you to court and asks you to bring me with you, what talents could I possibly perform Wouldn't I embarrass myself and bring shame upon you"
"Aren't you good at healing This is quite impressive already. As for artistic talents, I am just a warrior, what use do I have for them"
Feng Lingxi heard his words, her lips curving slightly, "So it seems, Your Highness is quite satisfied with me as your wife"
"This is natural, Empress Dowager said you and this King are a match. This King believes in the Empress Dowager's judgment."
Feng Lingxi's smile widened, which left Dugu Cheng puzzled. Her smile made his heart race; could she be plotting against him again, making him write her a divorce letter
“Thus, I shall observe everywhere for three months. If within this time, Your Highness cannot make me fall in love with you, then I hope that Your Highness will grant me a divorce decree. But if within these three months, Your Highness makes me fall in love with you, then I will no longer mention the matter of the divorce decree. How does this sound”
Upon hearing her terms, Dugu City hurriedly asked, "Will you purposely find flaws in this king"
"Just like we always have, but for the performance that needs to be done, I will cooperate. If Your Highness agrees, then upon returning, we will sign the contract. What do you think"
Dugu Cheng looked at the seriousness in her eyes, "Alright, this king will do as you say. If this king fails, I will give you a divorce decree. If I succeed, you are never to mention a divorce again."
"Deal!"
Feng Lingxi's lips curled into a smile, the corner of her eye making Dugu City suddenly panic. He didn't know why, but he would actually lack confidence, fearing that he would lose to her, unable to make her fall in love with him. He had absolutely no grasp on this woman, Feng Lingxi.ess, please don't misunderstand. The Crown Princess doesn't distrust you, but she's worried about your well-being, so she instructed me not to tell you."If you think "Feng Ling Xi Du Gu Cheng" is good...
