Chapter 119: Bed Combat 83

nd Consort Long. As for the specific details of what happened, I haven't found out yet."“The Empress has already inquired about it.”The Empress Dowager rebuked them angrily, her eyes fixed on Feng Lin...Upon hearing her words, Dugu City’s smile broadened, “This king was wondering if you were flustered and lost. Seems like I underestimated you.”

She had everything figured out. This time, even if he didn't lend a hand, she estimated she could get out of it unscathed.

This woman, why does he become so useless in front of her His heart feels a little stifled, but he can't help but feel happy. Such a clever woman became his princess consort. Fortunately, that night he was injured and she caught him, otherwise, some other man would have taken advantage.

Feng Lingxi looked at him with wide eyes upon hearing his words.

"Your Highness is jesting. I'm merely trying to find some clues. Compared to Your Highness, I am still quite inexperienced."

This time, she finally saw what he was capable of. His current achievements at his current age were the best proof. When interacting with him, she needed to be more careful.

Dugu Cheng didn't want to hear her compliments. This would only make her avoid him, and he wouldn't be able to get into her heart.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has arrived."

Xiao Li was relaying messages outside the door, and Feng Ling Xi hurriedly gave herself acupuncture, instantly changing into a sickly appearance lying on the bed. Dugu Cheng was watching her sudden transformation and just about to speak when he saw the Crown Princess walk in.

Feng Lingxi struggled to get up, but due to her weakened body, she couldn't. Dugu Cheng hurriedly helped her up.

"Xi'er, slow down."

Sister, don't get up.

Zhao Ran, the county princess, saw Feng Ling Xi like this and quickly stepped forward to support her. Her hand involuntarily touched Dugu City's hand. Zhao Ran, the county princess, didn't avoid it at all, looking at Dugu City with eyes full of love, not concealing it in the slightest.

"The Fourth Lord."

Dugu Cheng stood up, "Why would the Crown Princess have time to visit Xi'er Isn't today the day the Crown Prince takes a concubine"

When it came to this, County Princess Zhao's face slightly changed, forcing out a smile and saying, "This palace has finished my business and wanted to come see her sister."

"My lord, I would like to speak with the Crown Princess in private."

Feng Lingxi weakly cried out, Dugu Cheng took a pillow and propped it up for her, "Don't talk too much, your body isn't well."

After Dugu Cheng left, Zhao Ran County Princess pulled Feng Ling Xi's hand and spoke to her, "Little sister, how did your body become so weak You really scared this palace yesterday, fortunately you woke up."

"Thank you, Crown Princess, for your concern. The imperial physician said he injured his head. He's awake now, but his head feels a little dizzy. We don't know when he'll fully recover."

When the princess of Zhao heard this, she comforted, "Little sister, rest well. Once you recover your health, everything will be fine."

“Thank you, Princess Consort, for your concern. It's just that I broke the jade hairpin given to you by the Empress. Just thinking about it makes me feel terribly distressed.” Feng Lingxi covered her chest, and County Lord Zhao hurriedly soothed her, “Your Majesty knows that you didn't break the jade hairpin, and she doesn't blame you at all. It was those unruly young masters. This palace has already informed Your Majesty and will thoroughly investigate them.”

"Wait for me a little while, and I shall enter the palace to plead guilty and severely punish those responsible for breaking the Empress Dowager's jade hairpin."

Zhaoran County Princess listened to her constant self-blame, holding her hand, "Alright, when the time comes, this palace will accompany you to tell your mother. Now, you can't think about this matter anymore, you must take good care of your body."

Feng Lingxi responded with a sigh, lightly touching her chest, looking pained.

"Don't overthink it. Look at you now, so weak. This palace feels heartache just looking at you."

Feng Lingxi forced a smile, Xiao Li walked in with a bowl of medicine, "Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine."

Sniffing the scent of medicine, Princess Zhaoran's brow furrowed slightly, but she didn't intend to leave.

Feng Lingxi took the medicine in one gulp and, looking at Zhaoran County Princess's tightly furrowed brows, smiled wryly. "I've put the County Princess in a difficult position. This medicine I drank is for dispersing blood stasis."

"Good medicine tastes bitter, younger sisters, bear with it for a bit. Otherwise, if you fall ill later on, you'll only be able to watch as new people replace the old."

Feng Ling looked at her, letting out a soft sigh.

"I know that, but my current body is quite disappointing."

"It's just a bit unlucky, hitting your head and getting a concussion isn't something to joke about, sister/brother. You need to be even more careful in the future."

"I understand."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Feng Ling Xi looked at the expression of Princess Zhao Ran, which dimmed noticeably, unable to hide it anymore.

"Today is my elder sister and the Crown Prince's wedding day, yet I cannot attend, and I don't know if my elder sister will blame me."

When it comes to Feng Linglong, Zhaoran County Princess, who had been holding back her anger all day, couldn't help but speak up. She forced down the flames of fury in her heart and said, "Even if she is getting married, she's just a concubine. What does it matter Is she more important than your life"

Hearing the excitement in Princess Zhao’s tone, Feng Lingxi sighed again, "She has never seen my current appearance with her own eyes, so she wouldn't believe me. I'm afraid she would say that I did this on purpose. I truly don't know what to do.”

"What are you afraid of She's just a concubine, after all. I am the crown princess, and you are the legitimate wife of the Prince of Four Palaces and the eldest daughter of the Feng General's Mansion. Even if she marries the prince and becomes a concubine, she is still just a subordinate. Could she possibly ride on your head"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess may not know this, but throughout history there have been many concubines who ascended to a higher position. This elder sister of mine is both beautiful and intelligent. If she truly captures the Prince's heart, I fear my days will be filled with hardship."

Princess Zhao Ran was even more furious when she heard this. Thinking back to last night, she was so angry that she couldn't find a place to vent her anger.

"This Feng Linglong, up and down, is nothing but a concubine. Sister, rest assured, this palace will not let her bully you."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly grabbed her hand and shook his head at her.

"Your Highness, please don't quarrel with me and Eldest Sister for my sake. If the Crown Prince favors her, if you two fight, she will gain the upper hand in the end. Then, I would be held responsible even if I died ten thousand times."

"Wind Ling Xi, this statement only made the suppressed anger of Princess Zhao Ran surge higher, "What do you mean by gaining power Do you think this palace would let her gain power If it weren't for the schemes she used to climb onto the prince's bed, forget about becoming a concubine, even a maid serving in the inner quarters, this palace wouldn't allow it."

"But now she is the prince consort. The crown princess shouldn't make trouble for her. My lady knows my eldest sister’s character well, and the crown princess is kind and pure, she is no match for her at all."

"Nonsense! How could I possibly be inferior to her She merely used her seductive wiles to entice the Crown Prince! Before me, she's nothing but a fox spirit. Even if they make her a concubine, I won't let her have an easy time in the Crown Prince's residence."

Princess Zhao'an stood up angrily, “This princess will return to the Prince’s Residence right now. I want to see how this fox spirit dares to consummate her wedding with the Crown Prince in front of me tonight.”

Seeing Zhao Ran County Master angrily leave, Feng Ling Xi hurriedly shouted from behind, "Crown Princess, please calm down, Crown Princess..."

Seeing her walk away, Feng Lingxi withdrew the golden needle from her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Lingxi didn't hide it, nodded and looked at Li Wuyan's furrowed brows, "Speaking of them, you seem quite interested today.""I just suddenly felt curious and wanted to ask you, all these years since y...
