Chapter 128: Fighting on the Bed (92)

head. Huangpu Qingyun, seeing the sweat on her brow, immediately shouted, "Quickly send for the imperial physician!"Perspiration means she's coming down with a fever and will wake up.The imperial phy..."Fourth Princess, please don't say that. It's Yu Xi, this girl, who is unfortunate. She was born a concubine's daughter, and I am not favored. In this family, she can only endure hardship and live a life of compromise."

Zhao held her daughter's hand and said, "Yu Xi, no matter what she does, it will never please everyone."

"Without these worries, I'm still concerned about Second Sister's face. Fourth Royal Consort, are you truly not planning to seek treatment Father said that as long as you agree to the treatment, he will agree to anything."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi's worried eyes and said faintly, "At least today I won't be treating her."

If you want to get better, you need to be in a good mood first.

"I'm tired, the Third Madam and my younger sister are here chatting with Mother. I'll go rest for a while."

"My Queen."

Little Li hurried to follow and serve. Zhang looked at her leaving figure, her eyes full of worry.

"Xi Er really worries me this time."

"Sister, don't worry, she is now the Fourth Princess. No matter what the General does, he dare not do anything to her."

Zhang looked at Zhao, let out a soft sigh. How could she possibly understand Xier's intentions

This capital city is already abuzz, the Empress will be giving the Fourth Prince a concubine. Even though Xi'er is the legitimate wife, she can't do anything about this. If the Fourth Prince develops feelings for his concubine, Xi'er's position will become precarious, not to mention that Xi'er currently has no children. Things in the future will be even harder to manage.

"Your Highness, are you truly not returning to the palace tonight"

Little Li followed behind her, sensing the displeasure emanating from the Princess. It was clear that it had appeared suddenly after hearing Third Miss speak. She didn't know what had gotten into her.

"Xiao Li, I ask you, before she recovered from her serious illness, what was the third sister like"

"The Third Miss is quite good, she's kind to all of us servants. The Third Madam is also very nice, she doesn't put on airs and knows her place. She's always been respectful to the Mistress. Why did the Princess suddenly ask about this"

Fei Lingxi shook her head. "It's nothing."

Perhaps she had overthought it. Just as Xiaoli said, the third sister wasn't as deeply hidden as she imagined.

"My lady, forgive my impertinence. I truly don't understand your actions today. Why make such a spectacle against the second miss and anger the General The Empress is arranging for a concubine for the Prince—if word gets out about today's events, people will say you are cruel and heartless. You might even lose your position as Princess."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's dissatisfied complaints with a smile on her face.

"Do you believe me"

Xiaoli hurriedly nodded, "Of course it's what the Lady of the Palace believes, but..."

Then don't ask anything, just follow me, and don't worry about anything. I'll take care of everything.

Little Li, hearing the princess's words, could only stop talking.

"I'll rest for a while and have some food. Call me when it's ready."

Xiao Li responded and stepped back, guarding the door to the room.

News of Feng Ling Xi injuring Feng Ling Yu quickly spread, so fast that the entire capital city knew about it. It became a hot topic discussed everywhere, at every teahouse and mealtime.

Upon hearing this, Dugu City was overjoyed.

"Ye Xi, do you think Xi'er is looking for Feng Lingyu to vent her jealousy"

Ye Xi looked at the silly smile on her lord's face and couldn't help but remind him, "My lord, shouldn't you be worried about the princess's reputation"

Du Gu Cheng frowned, "What reputation Xi'er is jealous, this King is happy."

"My lord, I heard that the princess injured the second miss because the second miss slapped the third miss's injured face. This enraged the princess and led her to retaliate against the second miss."

Dugu City shook his head. "You don't understand, Xi'er is a person who can endure many things on a daily basis. How could she get so angry because of this This must be because the king didn't return home last night, and she was jealous."

Ye Xi looked at the king's affirmative gaze. This was the first time she had seen the king like this. She wasn't sure if the queen was jealous, but the king's confidence made it clear he saw through everything.

"My Lord, now that the Lady's reputation is ruined, aren't you going to help her"

"Du Gucheng tapped his forehead and admonished, 'What about taking responsibility How has Xi'er's reputation become so tarnished My woman should be extraordinary in every way. She deserves to be with me! Besides, that Feng Lingyu deserved it. Xi'er did a good job.'"

As expected of the woman he had his eye on, she certainly knows how to get things done. He approves of her style.

Ye Xi shook her head, the king was probably beyond saving.

Even the queen is like this, and he only cares that the queen might be jealous. What if the queen isn't jealous at all

It's over, it's over.

"Has the princess returned home"

Dugu Cheng straightened his back, thinking of Xi'er being jealous for him, his heart so happy, he wished to announce it to the world.

The king said he would stay at the general's mansion tonight and not return to the Fourth Prince's residence.

He wanted to see how urgently the Prince would react.

"Let's go to General Fu's residence and see Xier. She's not returning home tonight, and this king will be lonely in bed again. Go see her and make sure no one bullies her."

"When did the lord sleep with his wife" Ye Xi muttered softly, as if he didn't know, that tonight there was no bed for him. He sounded so nice.

"What are you mumbling about"

Dugu Cheng glared at him with displeasure, "Get out."

Ye Xi followed behind him, thinking about the incident of the King staying at a brothel last night. This princess must know about it. She probably wouldn't even be able to see her at the General's Mansion now. The King was actually happy and said that the Princess was jealous.

"If the Princess asks where this King went last night, you know what to say, don't you"

"My lord, lying to your wife is useless. It's better to be honest and tell her that you were drinking there last night and got drunk and fell asleep."

Dugu City slapped Ye Xi's head angrily and scolded, "If you were Xi'er, would you believe that this king did nothing at the brothel last night"

"My Lord, does it really matter whether the letter is true or not The Lady may not even care where you went last night."

After Ye Xi finished speaking, she immediately felt the King's murderous gaze. She quickly covered her mouth and said, "This subordinate knows wrong, I was wrong."

Dugu Cheng gave him a glance, arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, dismounted, and strode towards the mansion.

The delicately crafted carriage stopped, and then one of the maidservants accompanying her spoke up, "Consort, the Fourth Prince has entered."

Feng Linglong's brows furrowed slightly. Having heard last night that the Fourth Prince had spent the night at a brothel, how could he still come to the General's Mansion today Could it be that he too came to find Feng Lingxi and demand an explanation

"Go take a look."

Feng Linglong walked into the General's Mansion and, as soon as she entered the main hall, saw her father entertaining Duke Dugu. Upon seeing her, Feng Aotians expression changed slightly. The sudden arrival of this Fourth Prince was not an easy situation to handle.

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Linglong appear at the General's Mansion, his brows furrowed slightly, "Why is Consort Feng back to her natal family"

Feng Linglong looked at Dugu Cheng, her expression calm and composed. "Replying to the Fourth Prince, it was my father who summoned me for a discussion."

Since there's something going on, this King won't disturb you anymore. I shall go see Xi'er first.

Feng Linglong saw that he was about to leave and called out, "Fourth Prince, wait."s will hold me back."Luoli interrupted Feng Lingxi without mercy, "This matter must be done silently, with no one knowing except him. No one else can cooperate with me."Feng Lingxi, hearing this, tho...
