Chapter 56: Fighting Under the Bed

, the Empress Dowager would be so angry that we must kill Feng Lingxi and get Zi Xing this time"Du Gu Xiu angrily pointed at her, watching her face instantly pale as paper. He took a deep breath, "Thi...Feng Aotian saw her face pale, frowned, and urged.

Zhang Shi forced out a smile, “Master, I shall return now.”

Feng Aotian gave a slightly cold response, and helped up Liu shi.

"My lady, I'll escort you back to rest."

Liu hurriedly pushed Feng Aotian away, looking at Zhang with a triumphant expression in her eyes that Zhang noticed. Zhang clenched her fists under her sleeves and stared intently at them.

"Grandpa, my elder sister isn't feeling well. You should send her back home. I can go back by myself."

"How is this possible You just sprained your ankle, and while she's a bit frail, she could go back on her own."

Liu pretended to decline, "But sister..."

Feng Aotian held her shoulder, "Alright, I'll send you back first, and then I'll go see her."

"Sister, you should return to your courtyard first. Master will come to see you later."

Zhang smiled stiffly and nodded, watching their retreating figures. Her fists clenched tightly. The mistress of the General's Mansion was hers, but what was she now Zhang waited all night, but her husband never came to see her. Instead, the next day she saw Liu, her face flushed with joy.

Wind Ling Xi brought Feng Ling Yu back to the Si Wangfu and placed her in a courtyard within the manor. She selected two maidservants to attend to Feng Ling Yu exclusively. Feng Ling Yu thought Wind Ling Xi would make things difficult for her, but unexpectedly, she was treated so well - with good food and drink, served attentively. It was completely different from what she had imagined before coming here.

"Little Four Sister."

Feng Lingyu gracefully entered, her flowery attire swaying. Sniffing the scent of medicine in the room, she shielded her nose with a smile in her eyes. She had done her research before coming here: after marrying Feng Wangye, Feng Lingxi had yet to consummate their marriage. In other words, all her previous actions at the General's Mansion were merely an act.

Only now, seeing her room, did I realize that with just her like this, the Fourth Prince being good to her was probably all an act.

Feng Lingxi saw Feng Lingyu arriving and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why are you here"

"Si Mei, elder sister came to see what you are busy with. It's so late, has the Wang Ye not come over yet"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and said lightly, “Your Highness has a busy schedule, not every day will be here.”

Wind Spirit's jade eyes lit up, she was even more certain that the Fourth Prince and Feng Lingxi were putting on a show.

Actually, the Fourth Prince didn't really have that much good feeling for Feng Lingxi at all.

"Si Mei, why is your room filled with the smell of medicine This won't do. The King definitely won't like it. You should take it down."

Feng Lingxi looked up at her, seeing the disdain in her eyes. She curled her lips into a smile. "You're not him, how would you know if he likes it or not"

"Men like perfume, which man would like the smell of medicine"

Like the fragrance on your body

Wind Ling Jade covered her mouth with a light smile, "Little sister, these are all high-quality rouge. If you like them, I'll give you some."

"No need, I don't require it." Feng Lingxi refused, she had no intention of pleasing Dugu City.

Feng Lingyu swept her bedroom with a glance, but found no trace of warmth or coziness in its furnishings. Her eyes gleamed with even greater satisfaction.

This Feng Lingxi simply doesn't know how to please men. How long do you think this Fourth Prince will be able to spoil her

No wonder Mother said she was patient enough, she would surely win over the Fourth Prince.

"If Si Mei is alright, she should go back and rest first. I still need to make medicine, and I'm afraid the pungent smell will be too much for you."

Feng Lingyu took her pills and sniffed them at her nose, "Fourth sister, when did you start liking medicinal herbs so much Sister didn't know before."

"After waking up, I liked the taste of these drugs."

"My Lord."

A voice from outside the door belonged to Xiaoli. Fenglingyu heard that her lord had returned and hurriedly smoothed her clothes, revealing a smile as she looked at the doorway. She saw Dugu City walking in, a handsome smile on his face.

"Xier, this king is back."

Dugu Cheng walked in and saw Feng Lingyu inside. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"How did you get here"

Feng Lingyu saw Dugu City and hurriedly replied softly, "Your Majesty, Lingyu came to see the fourth sister and will return now."

Dugu Cheng waved his hand dismissively, too impatient to even glance at her.

Feng Lingyu smiled and left. As she reached the door, she turned back to Dugu City and said, "Your Highness, Lingyu will prepare breakfast for you tomorrow."

"Understood, go now."

Wind Spirit's smile at the corner of her jade lips grew even more brilliant. She would make the Fourth Prince fall in love with her.

"Xi'er, you said you brought her back here for nothing. She just gets in the way around this mansion."

"The lord doesn't like it" Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows, putting the pill into the box and asked faintly, "Don't men all like women who are soft-spoken, gentle and considerate"

Dugu City leaned in close to her, a wicked smile on his face. "But this king is an exception. I find women like Xier, with such personalities, even more captivating."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "If I didn't know your true nature, I almost believed your words."

Seeing her get up and tidy up, Dugu Cheng rushed forward to help, but Feng Lingxi dodged him.

Although I don't like Fenglingyu, she is indeed a rare beauty. The King can go to her tonight.

Dugu Cheng's smile froze on his face, hearing her words, his expression sank.

"Xier, are you trying to get this king to favor Feng Lingyu"

Is she really going to push him into the arms of another woman

Feng Ling Xi met his gaze, her eyes were cold and clear.

"Does the Lord think I'm joking It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If you like her, why not favor her"

Dugu City was furious and asked, "Feng Lingxi, do you really think this king has many women"

"How many women you want is your business, but the man I want can only be good to me."

She wasn't from this world, she couldn't share a husband with other women. If he touched Feng Lingyu, she would kick him out completely, even if it was difficult, she would let go of him.

"Having said so much, you're just wanting this King to promise to only take you as his queen, aren't you"

Hearing her words, the anger in Dugu City's heart subsided a lot. Although he was very angry that she had forced him that night, he was still very picky about women; not just any woman could catch his eye.

Feng Lingxi, since she has attracted him, don't even think about pushing him to another woman.

That night, I drugged you and made you stronger for me. It was Liu Shi and Feng Linglong who did it. I thought you brought the Wind Spirit Jade back to settle accounts with her properly, but I didn't expect you to want me to favor her. Feng Lingxi, do you not have any possessiveness

"Feng Lingxi put things away. "It's getting late, Your Highness should go back to rest."

"This is the king's bedroom. I'll prove it to you, everything I said to you is true."

After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he moved a blanket out of the wardrobe and began to make a bed on the floor. This action made Feng Ling Xi stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Dugu Cheng say, "From today onwards, this king will sleep here on the floor, you sleep on the couch, this king sleeps on the ground."ur son comes out and competes for the king's favor Wouldn't I be even worse off"Feng Ling Xi's lips twitched slightly, he was indeed thinking long-term. Did she say she wanted to help him have childre...
