n chief to look into the truth behind my mother's fall from the cliff. This way, I can clear her name.""Is the saintess intending to throw this onto me to handle"Feng Lingxi glanced at the crowd kneel...Feng Lingxi saw that he was still unwilling to divorce her, so she didn't say much.

Perhaps he thinks he can handle it now, but later on, he won't think that way.

The Empress, the Crown Princess, Feng Linglong, she seems to have offended quite a few people.

Feng Linglong was alright, but this Crown Princess and Empress, she genuinely felt very innocent. She was inexplicably targeted.

"These few days, you should avoid going to the General's Mansion. With Lady Liu deceased, it would be inauspicious. This king hasn't much to do these days either, so why not accompany you out for a stroll and clear your head"

"Lord Wang thinks it would be good for me and you to go out and relax"

"Naxi'er, what do you want to do these days This king will accompany you."

Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks and said, "The matter of taking in a concubine should be settled within these two days. Your Highness should still think about where to place the concubine so that I can send someone to tidy up."

"Aren't you jealous"

Dugu Cheng heard her bring up the concubine again, and he was very annoyed.

Why be jealous

獨孤城看著她，好半天才說，“那隨便是。本王連自己的王妃都滿足不了，哪有心情管側妃住哪，隨便騰出一個地方給她住就算了。”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left.

Feng Lingxi saw that he was angry, so she got up and went to the pharmacy, busying herself for two days on her own.

As she said, the Empress gave Dugu City's concubine to the Fourth Prince's residence two days later. She was directly sent to Shui Xi Pavilion in the Fourth Prince's residence and received many gifts from the Empress. Even the decoration of Shui Xi Pavilion was much better than Feng Lingxi's residence.

Feng Lingxi learned that the concubine had entered the palace already, but it was too late. The empress bestowed this concubine upon Duke Dugong, who was the empress's own niece. She was a pampered young lady, a beloved eldest daughter, and even a legitimate child.

The concubine entered the mansion, and Dugu Cheng did not appear at the Siwangfu for a whole day. He only returned in the evening, learning that the concubine had already entered the mansion. His handsome face was as dark as dripping water, and the entire Siwangfu was shrouded in a layer of coldness.

"Your Highness, this waterside concubine entered the mansion. The empress forcefully pushed her in like this. If the King were truly angered, I fear there would be trouble."

After the lord returned home, she heard that his face was frighteningly cold. When someone from Consort Shuǐ came to invite him, he scolded them back and refused to give the Empress any face at all.

Feng Lingxi held the teacup, taking a light sip. This niece forcefully pushed into the palace by the Empress... what could she possibly do Even as the Zhengfei (principal consort), she couldn't do anything to her. Besides, this was Du Gucheng's matter. Whether he favored her or not was his business. She had no say in it.

Xiao Li saw that the Princess wasn't anxious at all. She was truly unable to contain herself any longer.

"Your Highness, if you continue like this, the Prince will go to the side concubine's side. Then, you truly will be just like the side concubine."

He has hands and feet, where he goes is beyond my control. Besides, he married me simply out of revenge for how I wronged him in the past. Whatever he does, it’s none of my concern.

"Could it be that the Crown Princess truly has no feelings for the Crown Prince at all Even I can see that the Crown Princess likes him. The things the Crown Prince has done for you, could the Crown Princess say she wasn't moved"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, "You actually taught me a lesson."

Xiaoli knelt before her, "Princess, the servant girl only doesn't want you and the King to torment each other like this. Since you like each other, why not be together That way, the servant girl would also be happy."

You don't understand.

Feng Lingxi glanced at the unclosed door, "Close the door and go to sleep. I'm tired."

"Your Highness..."

Feng Lingxi ignored her, lay down in her wide robes. Even if the imperial concubine sent by the Empress was a legitimate wife, she couldn't do anything to her. Whether or not Dugucheng went there had nothing to do with her. She had no right to interfere. It's just that, if he really went there, she would give up hope and could think about how to leave the Prince's Mansion.

Dugu Cheng was in the courtyard, with a pile of wine jars stacked beside him. His eyes were fixed on Feng Lingxi's room. When the light in the room went out, he angrily took another gulp of wine. Shui Ci Fei's dowry maid stepped forward, "Fourth Prince, it's time to see your bride."

"Get out!"

Du Gu Cheng roared, and Zhang Ma Ma, the dowry maid, changed color. She said with a calm face, "Fourth Prince, Shui Ci Fei was bestowed by the Empress Dowager, so Fourth Prince must go to Shui Ci Fei's place tonight..."

Zhang Mama's words were not finished yet, Du Gucheng stood up and walked in front of her, grabbing her collar and glaring at her, "You lowly servant, how dare you speak to this king like that When did this king agree to take a concubine You forced a woman on this king! This king would touch her In your dreams!"

After finishing his words, with a fierce flick of his wrist, Zhang MaMa was thrown to the ground. Before she could even get up, Du GuCheng drew his sword and placed it at her throat. Looking at her aged face, a cold light flashed, blood splattered, the sword returned to its sheath, and he coldly scanned the corpse on the ground, sternly saying, "Send her back to the Water Palace. If anyone asks, say that Zhang MaMa committed treason by attempting to assassinate me. The Shui Side Consort is incompetent in using people, confining her to the Shui Xi Ge. Without my order, she is not allowed to take even half a step out of Shui Xi Ge."

After finishing his words, Dugu City tossed aside his sword and walked toward Feng Lingxi's chamber.

The damned woman, he was forcing her into the bridal chamber here, yet she turned off the lights and went to sleep. How could he possibly satisfy her wishes

The door was slammed open, Xiao Li was startled and stood up, just as she saw the fourth prince staggering in. Even Feng Ling Xi, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up. Looking at his drunken appearance, her brow furrowed.

"My Lord…"

"Get out."

Dugu Cheng roared angrily, scaring Xiao Li. Feng Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng like this and motioned for Xiao Li to back down, lest she get hurt.

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's indifferent face, watching her unmoved expression. He was furious. He was struggling out there in the midst of danger and she could still sleep here peacefully.

"Your Majesty, today is your big day of joy. Your arrival here is inappropriate; you should hurry to Shui Side's chambers."

Even though she didn't want to, Feng Lingxi still spoke. She was worried that Dugu Cheng would really go and spend the bridal night with Shui Side Concubine. Facing such a beautiful beauty, wouldn't any man lose control

Dugu City felt as if the flames in his chest were about to burst out. He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, glaring at her, "Feng Lingxi, tell this king the truth, do you really want this king to sleep with that woman"

Feng Lingxi parted her eyes and said coldly, "Your Highness, the Shui Ci Fei was bestowed upon you by the Empress. You..."

I don't care about those things. I just want to ask you, do you truly want me to favor that woman

He was so angry, seeing her like this, not even a hint of anger or jealousy, not even a care for him. He felt the urge to kill her, he really wanted to open her chest and see what her heart was made of. What was it made of Why did she show no emotion after all he had done

"Look into my eyes, and tell me, do you truly desire me to favor that woman If your heart truly desires it, then I shall go."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing his words, tightened her other hand under her sleeve, her eyes fixed on him. "Yes, I hope you favor Shui Ce Fei in the past."

When Dugu Cheng heard her words, his face changed drastically. He loosened his grip on her hand and looked at her indifferent eyes. His body trembled. He couldn't believe she would say such things. He had poured his heart out to her, hoping she would accept him, but in the end, she pushed him into the arms of another woman.

"Feng Ling, I've poured my heart and soul into you for so long. Don't you feel anything at all Are you really willing to let this king favor other women, or is it that from the very beginning, all you've ever wanted was a divorce decree from me, to leave the Fourth Prince's Mansion"

Feng Lingxi turned around, suppressing the slight pang of pain, and said coldly, "Whatever the Wangye says, I have nothing to say."

"Very well, this king shall go and grace the woman sent by the empress."taken aback by Duguyu's arrival in the capital. After all, everyone knew of Duguyu's rebellious intentions. What could Empress Cen and Duguxiu possibly want by summoning him Feng Lingxi had no clue w...
