Chapter 150: Battling on the Bed 114

the second concubine is a concubine, she has made great contributions to managing the household over the years. It's only right that I let her see it." Feng Lingxi got up and looked at Dugu Cheng, "W...Feng Lingxi heard her words, her face stiffened, and she said in a deep voice, "Your Highness needn't worry. Feng Caifei is just a concubine. You are the legitimate wife of the Crown Prince, with the Empress Dowager backing you. The position of Crown Princess can only be yours."

Princess Zhaoran sighed, "Although that's true, you don't understand. This Wan'iben Palace hasn't given birth to an heir yet. This position of Crown Princess might not necessarily be mine. Xier, do you understand what this palace means"

From ancient times, a woman's status is measured by her son's. Even becoming the Crown Princess doesn't necessarily mean she will be Empress later. But why would Lady Zhao tell her this Does she think the Crown Prince would still consider marrying her as his Crown Princess

"The Crown Princess has indicated, this concubine is foolish."

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhaoran retorted sharply.

"This palace has explained things clearly, how can you still not understand"

Feng Lingxi saw that she was angry and lowered her head, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Zhaoran County Princess, seeing her attitude like this, couldn't help but say, “This Palace just wants to ask you one question, are you on This Palace's side or helping Feng Linglong”

Feng Ling's face stiffened, and she looked at her with a grave expression. She could only say, "Your Highness, how can I be of help to you If there is anything I can do, I will do my best."

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao'an was finally satisfied.

"Why don't you just say that This palace doesn't want to make things difficult for you. This palace knows about your relationship with Feng Linglong. Although her mother, Liu Shi, wasn't killed by you, everyone outside says it was you. You and she will always be enemies in the end."

"This concubine understands the meaning of the Crown Princess. Consort Feng wants to blame this matter on this concubine. This concubine is also helpless, after all, this concubine was present at the time and cannot escape responsibility."

Feng Ling Xi's words surprised Princess Zhao Ran. She thought Feng Ling Xi would decline, but she seemed to understand the ins and outs of the situation very well.

“Since you know, you should also know that if Feng Linglong is favored, she will inevitably make a move against you in the future.”

Princess Zhaoran looked at her in silence, "Xier, this palace knows you are a smart person. Joining forces with this palace benefits you without any drawbacks."

"The Crown Princess speaks with great wisdom. This king also believes that Xier and the Crown Princess working together is the best of the best."

Dugu Cheng walked over. Feng Lingxi looked at him, her eyes filled with doubt. What was he doing here Did he really think that Princess Zhaoran had come here to team up with her

"The city... Even the Fourth Prince thinks that this Palace and Xi'er working together is good, so Xi'er has even less reason to refuse now."

Feng Lingxi, watching Zhaoran County Princess's gaze fixed on Dugu City, cupped her hands and said, "Since Your Highness has spoken thus, this concubine obeys."

Zhao Ran County Princess happily stepped forward and grabbed Dugu Cheng's arm. Her intimate action made Dugu Cheng hastily grab her hand and move it away, saying coldly, "If the Crown Princess is fine, please return to the palace first so that the Empress doesn't know you stayed at the Fourth Prince's Mansion for too long."

When it came to the Empress, Princess Zhaoran's face paled slightly. Her mother was still quite satisfied with her as the Crown Princess, but Shui Yinrou's death had left her in a rather anxious mood. Even her attitude towards Zhaoran had become much colder.

"Xi'er, then it's settled. This Palace shall return to the palace first."

"Farewell, Crown Princess."

Feng Lingxi sent Zhaoran Junzhu out of the mansion, and Dugucheng hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Xier, this king and Zhaoran Junzhu are not as you imagine, don't misunderstand."

Feng Lingxi stopped in her tracks, looking at the anxiety on his face, and said calmly, "Does Your Highness really think that the Crown Princess is truly going to team up with me to deal with Feng Linglong"

Dugu Cheng was stunned. She wasn't angry at his and Princess Zhaoran's actions

"Xier thinks, what does the Crown Princess mean by this"

"Nature is just trying to get close to you, finding excuses to come to the mansion often and see your lord."

Dugu Cheng's lips twitched slightly, listening to the sourness in her tone, he was in a good mood.

"Xier, are you jealous"

Feng Lingxi glared at him, "Who's jealous What I said isn't wrong, is it The Crown Princess held onto your arm and called you so intimately. If you hadn't married me, you would probably be marrying her instead of me."

Hearing her sarcastic words, Dugu City's mood was excellent.

"Xier, didn't I tell you, this king doesn't like her at all. You saw it too, it's she who has feelings for me. This king has always kept his distance from her, and besides, don't you also have a prince who likes you"

"You..."

Feng Lingxi was angered by him. What's wrong with her

To get angry over this, she shouldn't be like this.

Wind Ling Xi took a deep breath and walked towards her own courtyard. Du Gu Cheng hurried to catch up, "Xi'er, don't be angry, Your King was just joking with you. Your King knows that all of that is the Prince's one-sided affection for you, you don't like him."

"Who said I don't like the crown prince"

Dugu Cheng was so scolded that he felt very stifled.

"Xier, let's not talk about this, okay Tell me about your trip to the General's Residence today, or tell me about what just happened. You tell this King, what exactly does this Crown Princess mean"

When it came to the topic of General's Mansion, Feng Lingxi quickly regained her composure. Once her mother's affairs were settled, she truly wouldn't have anyone to rely on here. If Dugu City could truly help her, that would be great, but if not, the path ahead would be one she had to walk alone. She couldn't put all her thoughts and energy into emotional matters.

The Empress glared at her, a predatory gleam in her eyes. If she dared to quarrel with Dugu Cheng, who knows how she would die then

"My mother's health is failing, and she may not have much time left."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, my tone just now was a little too harsh."

Dugu Cheng grabbed her hand, hearing her say this, he hurriedly asked, "Xi'er, you make it clear, what illness did your mother-in-law get, how could…"

"Don't ask, I can handle it myself."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, entered the room, and she had to plan how to make this fake death medicine. She had to ensure that her mother could successfully revive after faking her death.

Du Gu Cheng grabbed her, "Tell me, what's wrong with your mother-in-law I will make the decision for you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the seriousness in his eyes and suddenly asked, "Dugu Cheng, can I trust you"

Du Gu Cheng's eyes were resolute. "Of course."

Feng Lingxi smiled and took his hand away, "Then you don't ask me anything, don't care about anything, that's what I need from you most."

Dugu City fell silent for a moment, then spoke, "Alright, this King will listen to you. But Xi'er, if you need help, you can find this King at any time."

Feng Lingxi responded with a smile, "Go ahead and busy yourself. I'm going to prepare medicine for Mother to recuperate."
