y Master let you two stay in Fengyuan."Dugu Cheng furrowed his brow. "What's different about this Fengyuan" His tone implied that he wasn't particularly pleased with them living in Fengyuan."Our Yao t...Morning sunlight streamed in through the window. Feng Lingxi opened her eyes and saw an empty space beside her. She quickly got up and saw Xiaoli pushing the door open.

"Your Highness, you're awake."

"Where is Dugu City"

This pillow has long since lost all warmth. How long had he been gone What troubled her most was how deeply she slept, unaware of his departure.

The Lord left early this morning, saying he had something important to attend to and told the maids not to disturb the Lady Wife's rest.

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows slightly, "I never used to sleep this deeply before..."

Little Li covered her mouth and giggled, “I suppose the Princess must be too tired to sleep so soundly.”

Feng Lingxi's face flushed red as she explained, "It's not like that, I..."

Looking at Xiao Li's ambiguous gaze, Feng Lingxi coughed twice, "You're thinking too much."

"Your Highness, this is what the Lord said."

Feng Ling's lips twitched slightly. How could Dugu Cheng speak so irrationally Last night, they didn't do anything, they just slept together. Why did he always say things that were so easily misunderstood

"How long has he been out, and did he say when he'd be back"

I have to rush back to the palace. I can't stay here too long.

"The Lord had said that in about two hours' time, if we calculated the time, there would be half an hour left before he returned."

"They've been walking for an hour and a half" Feng Lingxi frowned. Seeing Xiaoli nod, Feng Lingxi became even more confused. Had she slept so soundly or did Dugu Cheng do something

"Your Majesty, please have breakfast first. The King will be back soon."

Feng Lingxi answered, and the guests at the inn came and went. Feng Lingxi's appearance was no different from that of a lodging guest in their eyes, and she did not attract any attention.

Feng Lingxi had just finished her breakfast when Dugu City returned. Seeing that she was full, he said, "Xier, let's go back to the mansion first."

Feng Lingxi instructed her clansmen to evacuate, then returned to the city with Dugu Cheng.

"This morning, I went around and checked everything, but found nothing out of the ordinary."

In the carriage, Lord Dugu spoke about his destination this morning. Feng Lingxi looked at him, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Lord Dugu, why didn't you tell me where you were going And, why did I sleep so soundly today I'm not usually like this."

Dugu Cheng heard Feng Lingxi's complaining words, pointing at Ye Xi and Xiao Li who were driving the carriage ahead, "Xi'er, are you sure you want this king to say Why did you sleep so soundly last night…"

Feng Ling hurriedly covered his mouth and stared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, we didn't..."

Before she could finish her words, the laughter of Xiao Li and Ye Xi from outside reached their ears. Feng Lingxi glared at Dugu Cheng, "Nothing happened."

獨孤城 pulled her hand down, hugged her waist, and coaxed softly, "Xier, are you blaming this king for not touching you last night"

"Dugu City!"

Feng Ling's face flushed red, he knew she didn't mean it that way, yet he teased her.

"Well, this kind of anger just makes things more misunderstood."

Feng Lingxi was teased by Dugu City's words, looking at Dugu City's innocent face, it was really the more he explained, the more people imagined.

"To be serious, after we get back, shall we go to Su Wangfu"

"Where do you want to go, Xier"

Dugu Cheng looked at her, seeing her conflicted expression, he put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Xier since you don't know whether to go or not, then don't go. Those who are destined to come will come."

But...

Thinking of Yao Shu's death, Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, unable to feel happy at all.

獨孤蘇竟然敢對她瑤族的人動手，這樣怕不僅僅是警告這麼簡單，她隻是查了他，便如此，若是她真的查到了什麼，那豈不是她的命也保不住了。

Dugu Cheng looked at her troubled expression and comforted, "Xi'er, don't forget, the current situation in court, we only need to remain still and wait for the opportunity, then we can be safe and sound."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's unwavering gaze, "Didn't you tell me to investigate"

If Dugu Su is really the one behind Feng Yu Xi's misfortunes, and he doesn't admit it, even going so far as to kill Yao Shu to warn her, wouldn't Dugu City be worried that Dugu Su might one day turn against him

Dugu City touched her hair and said softly, "Xi'er, don't be too attached to anything. Understanding the current situation is the most important thing. This king hopes that Xi'er will have more time to rest instead of working tirelessly."

Feng Lingxi swallowed the words that were about to leave her lips. She didn't want to be so busy, she just wanted to share some of his worries.

"This King has returned, the rest will be handled by this King."

Feng Lingxi responded, and the carriage jolted precariously. Feng Lingxi's thoughts drifted far away, one couldn't tell what she was thinking about.

Back at the Siwangfu, Feng Lingxi heard the steward say that the wife of Dongge University Scholar had come to apologize. She was talking with her mother now, and Feng Lingxi originally didn't want to go, but she saw several ladies coming to the mansion to apologize.

Today they saw Feng Lingxi was not as imposing as yesterday, her face was filled with smiles one by one. They came in and saw Feng Lingxi and Dugu City, smiling and greeting them.

"Fourth Master, Fourth Madam."

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly, and Dugucheng patted her hand reassuringly.

"Ladies, I wonder what brings you here today"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and everyone glanced at Dugu City. Feng Lingxi whispered, "Go ahead and get busy first. I'll come find you later."

Dugu Cheng leaned down to her ear and whispered softly, "You don't need to be polite to them." After finishing his words, he curled his lips into a smile and left with Ye Xi.

Dugu City's actions were too intimate in their eyes, causing them to become jealous one by one.

You have to know, how could their husbands possibly be so affectionate towards them Let alone pampering them individually, even just being kind to them would be a luxury.

"Fourth Princess, several of us sisters came here yesterday to apologize to the Fourth Princess. We hope that the Fourth Princess will be magnanimous and won't take our words to heart."

Feng Lingxi looked at their flirtatious smiles with disgust.

"What happened yesterday"

Feng Lingxi watched them, seeing their faces turn pale and red alternately. She feigned deep thought.

After a while, he said, "My ladies, I don't remember what happened yesterday. Perhaps one of you could remind me"

"It's nothing really, the Fourth Princess forgot, just forget it."

Feng Lingxi looked at their naive smiles and smiled, "Since nothing is wrong, I won't keep you company."

The ladies hurriedly said with smiles, “Then we won’t disturb you.”

Seeing them leave in disgrace, Feng Lingxi's smile vanished from her face. She coldly ordered, "Tell the housekeeper, if anyone asks for me, just say I'm not here."

She didn't like dealing with these phony women, and she had no mood to argue with them about nonsense.

"Your Majesty, Tianxiang Lou just sent this letter."

The housekeeper dashed in and handed the letter to Feng Lingxi.pply, so that the wound won't become infected.""This injury doesn't matter, Your Highness. Why did you go to Tianqi Country without even telling me I could have protected you."This time, if he didn't...
