Chapter 1104: Ghost Saint Kingdom 65

serious to talk to you about."獨孤城 learned his lesson. Now he avoids talking about feelings with Xi’er, as it always makes her furious. He needs to find a different approach."Go to his house and tell...Shu Taifei pointed at Dugu City, her face ashen with fury.

"So you're saying that all the food I eat in this household is paid for with her money"

Dugu Cheng raised his eyes, his gaze sincere.

"Yes, the imperial court has stopped my stipend. For over two years now, I have been supported by Xi'er. All expenses have been hers. Empress Dowager, to force me to leave Xi'er is to make me lose my wife and daughter, to lose an army of 500,000."

"You're lying! With military power in hand, I don't believe you."

She is the Shu Taifei, how could she possibly have no money at all.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, she had to say, this move of his was truly ruthless. Selling him to her, although she spent a lot of Yaozu's money, the bulk of the wealth still came from Huang Xia Chao and Dugu City himself.

"Mother Empress, without provisions, who would be willing to serve as my soldiers Does Mother Empress not know how the court treats us We are now mere figuresheads, with no wealth or real power."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi pitifully, "If it weren't for Lady Xi's kindness in sheltering and helping me, I wouldn't be standing here."

"Impossible."

Shu Taifei couldn't believe her ears, how could her son possibly have nothing

It must be Feng Ling Xi, this vixen, who's behind this.

"Mother, please don't pressure me anymore. If you keep pressuring me, when Feng Lingxi truly gets angry, I will have truly lost everything."

"My lord, you still have concubines"

On both sides, the concubines opened their mouths, their eyes filled with affection that made Dugu City feel nauseous. He glared at them.

"What use are you, can any of you give this king silver, to repay his debts"

“I can help my lord with his worries and troubles.”

"How can we share worries and solve difficulties"

Dugu Cheng looked at their dainty appearance, "Waiting on me in bed"

Both were flushed with embarrassment, their bashful expressions almost made Feng Lingxi burst into laughter. This was truly the body of Dugu City that she had her eye on.

“Perhaps Your Highness should consider the feelings of the two concubines. I heard that Consort Shu prepared twenty-eight beauties for you. If they are allowed to go out, each can earn ten thousand taels. In a year, that's twenty-eight million taels. In ten years, they could earn enough for a million…”

Feng Lingxi feigned seriousness as she calculated the accounts, leaving both concubines with ashen faces. Feng Lingxi even had them go so far as to sell themselves.

"My Lord, I belong to you in life and death. I am willing to share your worries."

“Then you should follow her wishes and, with your sisters, pay her one million taels of silver whenever you earn enough. That’s when this King will consummate the marriage with you.” Dugu City's words made Feng Ling Xi unable to hold back, she hurriedly said, “Your Highness, interest must be calculated. One million taels of silver in ten years, just the interest alone could buy me several pretty boys.”

Shù Taifei heard the boy's words and angrily rebuked him, "Shameless! How dare you utter such things What do you think this city is"

"He can be whatever he wants, and I didn't force him. It was you, Shutai, who heard everything clearly. Dugu Cheng now owes me one million taels of silver. He doesn't settle accounts, and I don't even know how much he used. Since you want him to go back with you, then settle the account, first take the mansion and fifty million troops."

Feng Lingxi raised her hand, and the steward rushed forward.

"Go clean out the houses at the county office, get rid of anyone who shouldn't be there. I, Feng Lingxi, don't keep idle people around."

Shutai's face grew even darker, just as she was about to speak, Dugu Cheng said, "Xi'er, look, I am Wan'er's father after all. You wouldn't drive me out, would you"

"I'll take care of you."

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu City's ingratiating appearance, cooperating with him in the play. She playfully tapped Dugu City's nose and with this one move, she enraged Tai Fei Shu.

"I don't believe it, there has to be money."

"Your Majesty, these calculations were all made by Dugu Cheng himself. The account books are there to prove it. If you don't believe me, have him show you the books. However, since we're talking about reviewing the accounts, I intend to make them public for everyone to see. It needs to be known that it wasn't Feng Lingxi who owes you money, but rather that you owe her."

"No."

Shutai pleaded urgently, "We can't let the ledger be made public. If everyone knows that Cheng'er ate your share, what face will he have left to show himself in the world"

"Mother Concubine, this prince has long since lost any real power. Don't you know how the court treats me"

Dugu Cheng added fuel to the fire, forcing his mother to do this. He had no choice but to pressure her like this; only then would she realize his current predicament and stop trying to find him women, saving him from more trouble.

"Feng Ling Xi, you said that how can we not publish the account book."

Wind Ling Xi shrugged, "Can I still keep it a secret if I don't say anything Even if the people in my household don't speak up, these two beauties, won't they spread the word"

The concubines on both sides of him changed color and immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, our sisters will never reveal this. Please rest assured."

Feng Lingxi looked at the calculating glint in their eyes and calmly said, "In this world, only the dead won't leak secrets, wouldn't you agree, Shutai"

Shu Taifei looked at the two concubines, their faces changed color in an instant, they looked at Feng Lingxi in horror, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, "Shu Taifei spare my life, I won't tell anyone, I promise."

Feng Lingxi looked at Shu Taifei, "I'll leave this matter to Shu Taifei. Wan'er, let's go get something to eat."

Wan'er looked at the two concubines crying like they were heartbroken, her little face full of sympathy.

"Mother, they are crying very loudly."

Feng Lingxi patted Wan'er's head gently and said softly, "Let's walk farther away."

Wan'er nodded, looking at the two people crying their hearts out on the ground, there was not a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Go on."

Dugu Cheng sat with his legs crossed, watching the two women.

"Who sent you, and why do you want to become a concubine to my king"

The two concubines looked at Dugu City in astonishment, their tears streaming like broken pearls, crying even harder.

"My lord, I truly love you and want to serve you."

"My lord, my heart is truly yours. My lord, please, for the love I have for you, spare me."

"Love"

Dugu Cheng heard this word, as if he had heard a joke.

"Come now, tell me, how did you come to love this King We've only just met, haven't we Is that all it takes to fall in love"

Dugu Cheng gave a cold sneer, his handsome face full of sarcasm. Such a cliche, too obvious.

On the right, the concubine's face was pale. Upon hearing this from Dugu City, she choked back tears and said, "My lord, I know..."

Speak properly, this king hasn't taken you as wives, don't call yourselves concubines. This king finds it sickening to hear.

On the right, the concubines' tears fell even more fiercely. They had already entered the palace, how could he speak to them like this.

"Your Highness, since my sisters and I were chosen by the Empress Dowager to be your concubines, we are obligated to love you and bear you children..."

That's enough!

Dugu Cheng couldn't stand it any longer, "This king doesn't need you to give birth to children for this king. This king's children can only be born by Xi'er, you are not worthy!"ed with her""Imperial Concubine Xi, you need to apply more pressure. This isn't even a tickle."Feng Yu Xi smiled and replied, "The Empress Dowager's lesson is something I will keep in mind."Feng Lingx...
