all, where he completely broke down, unsure how to save her. He wished with all his might that he could take her pain for himself.Feng Lingxi looked at his wet eyes, even though he didn't say a word,...獨孤蘇好奇地看著帳篷，李公公急忙上前攔住他，“蘇王殿下，還有其他事嗎？”

"That's all, this king will go back to rest first."

Du Gu Su saw Li Gonggong return to the camp outside and was waiting for him. It was almost noon now, so after finishing his meal, he could go take a look.

Without much thought, Du Gu Su returned to his own tent. Outside, the sound of commotion could be heard. The ministers who hadn't gone out had started preparing their meals. Meals here were not as rich as those at home, but they weren't lacking either.

Dugu Su inquired about Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng, only to learn that they were still not back.

The atmosphere of the hunt was intense, and the princes and nobles who had bagged their prey showed no signs of returning. They were still comparing their kills. As time for departure approached, although reluctant, they eventually carried their game back to the hunting grounds.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City's harvest wasn't small either, although they were all hunted by Ye Xi and Xiao Li, the quantity wasn't bad. As noon approached, Dugu City didn't intend to go back.

"Xier, do you want to eat anything We're going to make something here and not go back."

"Not going back"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, seeing him nod. "Just eat whatever you like, as long as you can eat."

"Yeh Xi, go."

Ye Xi and Xiao Li took the hunted animals to process them. Feng Ling Xi and Dugu Cheng gathered some firewood and found a place to start a fire and roast meat.

The sky was overcast, dark clouds covered the sun, Feng Ling frowned, "It's going to rain, should we go back"

"It's fine, the rain will pass in a flash anyway. There's a cave up ahead, let's take shelter there. We walked quite far, going back would take a while."

Feng Ling Xi only then realized they had walked quite far, anyway she wasn't sure where they had come from.

As Du Gucheng said, the rain this month came and went quickly. After a downpour, sunshine returned once again. Feng Lingxi and Du Gucheng were eating roasted meat while watching the weather outside. “When we go back later, there will be fewer prey. We probably won’t get first place.”

"This king guesses Dugu Xiu will come in first this time."

Feng Lingxi smiled, "He's so busy, who knows."

After resting for half an hour, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng returned to the camp. Seeing them come back with not many hunted animals, everyone swarmed forward and asked, "Fourth Prince, why did you bring back so few this time"

Feng Lingxi looked at the helplessness at the corner of Dugu Cheng's lips and couldn't help but smile.

"This king and his beloved consort were caught in a heavy downpour on our journey, so we sought shelter in a mountain cave for a while and roasted two wild rabbits."

Dugu Cheng walked to Dugu Su's face, "Su Wang, do you have any favorite prey Just take it."

Dugu Su looked at the prey on the ground, all small animals, the largest being deer and roe deer. This Fourth Prince was out enjoying the mountains and water, his mind wasn't really on hunting.

"Deer bar, this will be enough."

Ye Xi hurriedly brought the deer to Du Gu Su's side. The King of Su cast a smile, his eyes drifting towards Du Gu Yan's tent.

"The Emperor had his morning meal inside his tent. I don't know if he wasn't feeling well, or perhaps I shouldn't have disturbed him."

When Dugu Cheng heard what the King of Su said, he didn't show any intention of looking for Dugu Yan. After all, with so many people here, why wouldn't anyone go to see the emperor Perhaps they were all busy.

“Mister Li.”

Dugu Xiu was back, with an astonishing haul of prey. It seemed as if he had hunted every animal in the forest. Wild boars, deer, sika deer, rabbits, and pheasants – there were countless numbers. The piled-up game attracted much discussion and praise.

"Whose prey is the most numerous"

Dugu Xiu finished speaking and looked towards Feng Lingxi. Seeing the meager amount of game she had, a smile spread across his face, "Fourth Princess Consort, why is there only so little prey Would you like this king to send you some"

After finishing, Shuang smiled with satisfaction.

"Sixth Prince, the Emperor invites you in."

Li Gong publicly opened his mouth, and Dugu Xiu straightened his clothes and walked into the tent. Everyone's eyes turned to the tent, wondering why he would summon the Sixth Prince in this way.

"The emperor's actions today were very strange, and this Eunuch Li's behavior was also extremely odd. When I went past earlier, Eunuch Li even pulled me aside to speak."

Dugu Su recounted the events of this afternoon, telling Dugu Cheng everything truthfully. There was a hint of confusion in her tone.

Perhaps the Emperor's body is truly unwell and needs rest.

"But this king smelled a strange fragrance outside his tent."

"Fragrance"

Feng Lingxi heard the word, and looked at Dugu Su with interest, "What kind of taste is it"

“It was very fragrant, but this king didn't stay for long. Li Gonggong pulled this king away to speak and I wasn't able to smell what kind of incense it was. I just felt that the fragrance was a little strange, different from the incense this king had smelled before. When smelling the incense, I would feel excited.”

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly, she seemed to understand what Dugu Su was talking about.

This Dugu Yan wouldn't really have this much interest in the hunting ground, would she

Li Gonggong walked out, holding an imperial decree and saying, "By order of Heaven, the emperor decrees: Qiu Ruoxia from the Qiu family, Wang Yue from the Wang family, and Li Rou from the Li family are all gentle and virtuous. The emperor highly favors them. After today's hunt, they shall follow me into the palace and be bestowed with the title of Zhaoyi."

"Directly a consort"

Feng Ling Xi couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing this. This Dugu Yan was surprisingly well-endowed, having favored three young ladies here. It seemed that the unique fragrance mentioned by Dugu Su had quite a powerful effect.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The three adults from the Qiu Mansion, the Wang Mansion, and the Li Mansion hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude, the joy in their eyes was unconcealable.

Dugu Cheng gestured to Feng Lingxi to stop talking, his eyes turned towards the tent.

“It's all arranged.”

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt some sympathy for Dugu Yan. With such an arrangement, how could her body bear it.

The royal hunt thus ended abruptly.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City returned to the palace with their prey and soon heard the news from inside the palace.

When Feng Yu Xi and Mo Huai Lan learned that the Emperor had favored three beauties during his hunt and brought them back to the palace, they were so enraged that their abdomens ached. At this time, all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed into the palace to attend to them.

"This Dugu Yan and Dugu Xiu are truly worthy sons of the Empress. Their skills are impressive, I'd wager that Dugu Xiu has found three more like himself."

Upon hearing Feng Lingxi's words, Dugu City couldn't help but laugh.

"You really guessed it this time, Dugu Xiu did indeed favor the daughters of three ministers. They are all now in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but he has not yet made any of them his concubine."

Feng Lingxi couldn't help but admire these men, "Dugu Cheng, don't you regret it You said that each of these kings has countless women, this time there are three, think about yourself, you only married me one, think about it, do you lose out"

Feng Ling Xi's words caused the smile on Dugu Cheng's face to vanish, and he began to ponder seriously.

"Does Xi'er also want me to find several women"

"Dare you try"

Feng Lingxi's face darkened, "If you dare to find one, I'll leave."

She was his only one, and he was hers alone. Both of them were capable of loving with their whole hearts.is up to me to decide."Feng Lingxi answered her question calmly, looking at Luo Juzhou's angry expression without a trace of pity."The way the Fourth Princess acts like this, it's easy to get herself...
