Chapter 18 The Woman I Love Most
o said that Your Majesty needed rest, so the Emperor and Empress went to rest as well. That's why she wasn't here guarding the room. If You want to punish anyone, punish Yao Hua."Feng Lingxi's sincere...Dugu Yan looked at the ending on the chessboard, her eyes full of surprise.
"You..."
Wind Spirit Jade hurried forward, looking at the chess pieces on the board, her face full of confusion. She couldn't understand who had won from these pieces
獨孤雁 smiled, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at Feng Lingxi. She said to Feng Aotian, "I didn't expect Miss Four to have such exquisite chess skills. She truly opened my eyes."
Feng Aotian hurried forward to apologize, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Xi'er was just rambling."
"Father means that even if I drew randomly, it would be better than the Crown Prince's"
When Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, Feng Aotian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He glared at Feng Lingxi with eyes that could spit fire. This girl, did she know what she was saying
Dugu Yan looked at Feng Ling Xi, the admiration in her eyes deepening.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Xi'er doesn't understand the rules. My minister didn't mean it that way..."
"General Feng, this palace would like Miss Four to accompany me for a walk. Would that be convenient"
"Of course, it's convenient." Feng Aotian looked at the prince's appreciation for Xi'er. The cold sweat on his forehead became more intense. This Xi'er was married to the fourth prince, but now the prince had taken an interest in her. How could this be good
"Your Highness, why not let Lingyu stay and keep you company too..."
"How is Second Miss still here"
Du Gu Yan interrupted Feng Ling Yu's words. Feng Ling Yu's smile stiffened, her face pale as she looked at the Crown Prince, biting her lip - trembling with tears of grievance that made people feel sorry for her.
"Lingyu, you may retire now."
Feng Lingyu covered her mouth and ran away, Feng Aotien leaving the garden with Liu Shi.
"Master, with Xier and the Prince alone together like this, if word gets out, it won't be good for Xier's reputation. She's getting married in just a few days."
As Liu walked away, she couldn't help but speak up. She looked at Feng Lingxi standing beside the Crown Prince, her eyes filled with coldness. She hadn't expected Feng Lingxi to be so seductive, even enchanting the Crown Prince himself.
"There are still maids and handmaidens, not to mention, under the bright sun, you shouldn't think too much. Get down to business quickly." Feng Aotien ordered, glanced at Feng Lingxi who was chatting happily with the prince behind him, a cloud of worry crept onto his brow, this marriage was afraid it would be in trouble.
The maid served up pastries and tea. Feng Lingxi poured tea for Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan then spoke.
"Xier, how did you suddenly disappear that night Are you hiding from me because you have something difficult to say Is it because the Emperor betrothed you to the fourth brother, so you..."
Feng Lingxi saw him reaching out to grab her hand and hurriedly dodged, saying in a low voice, "Your Highness, after recovering from a serious illness, I don't remember what happened before. In a few days, I will be marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so I hope Your Highness forgets about the past."
She doesn't care what the original owner and the Crown Prince feel for each other; anyway, she doesn't want to be involved with the Crown Prince.
"Xi'er, have you forgotten about us"
獨孤雁一臉受傷，想要抓住風淩兮的手，看著她閃躲，心疼極了。
"Your Highness, I truly don't remember."
"It's okay, I don't remember, I told you, I..."
Feng Lingxi looked at him excitedly clutching her hand, dodging again to avoid his touch.
“I’m sorry about the past, I don’t want to know about it. In a few days, I’m getting married. Your Highness, you deserve a better woman.” The position of Crown Princess and that of Fourth Royal Wife… she felt the Fourth Royal Wife had a greater allure. After all, what she wanted wasn't a man, but the title of Fourth Royal Wife itself. It would allow her to do whatever she pleased.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Xier, didn't you say you liked me and wanted to marry me as my princess consort Was it your father who threatened you Tell me, I'll make the decision for you." Dugu Yan grabbed her arm, questioning her with eyes that were wounded and made one feel sympathy.
But Feng Ling is no longer the Feng Ling she used to be. She could only push him away.
"Nobody threatened me, it was voluntary."
獨孤雁 let go of her, looking at her calm eyes, he was in so much pain, but she remained unmoved. This wasn't the Xi'er he knew.
"Your Highness, as the Crown Prince, you should know the Emperor's intention for this marriage. I hope you won't interfere. Just focus on being the Crown Prince. Even though I don't remember the past, I hope you won't make mistakes for me. It's not worth it."
She didn't dare to provoke him, not only because she wasn't the original owner, but also because of her tarnished reputation. She didn't want to get involved in palace intrigues.
"Xi'er, I understand."
Dugu Yan suddenly rushed up and hugged her, Feng Lingxi was taken aback and hurriedly pushed him away, but he held her tightly.
"Your Highness, please let me go."
Dugu Yan let go of her, "Xi'er, I understand what you mean. Even if you marry my fourth brother, you will still be the woman I love most. I will wait for you."
After finishing her words, Dugu Yan left. Feng Lingxi frowned, his beloved woman
Is there really something going on between Feng Lingxi and the Crown Prince
It seems Fenglingxi was pretending to be stupid before, rather than actually being stupid
But, why didn't the entire General's Mansion know she was pretending to be stupid
Feng Ling xi looked at Xiao Li waiting not far away and beckoned her over. Xiao Li came back to her senses and ran over immediately, "Miss, are you alright"
"Little Li, did you hear what the prince just said"
Xiaoli nodded, then shook her head frantically.
"Let's go back to the courtyard. I have something to ask you."
Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li back to the courtyard, closed the door, and thought about what Dugu Yan had said to her. She questioned Xiao Li, "Tell me honestly, was I really silly before I lost my memory, or was I pretending to be silly"
"Miss, what do you mean by that"
Xiaoli looked puzzled, "Miss ever since she was four years old, her brain got burnt and she's been foolish and silly. Xiaoli has taken care of Miss since then, and Miss has always been like this."
"Are you sure you're not lying to me"
Xiaoli thumped to her knees, raising her hand, "Miss, Xiaoli swears to heaven, if Xiaoli deceives you, may heaven strike her with five thunders and she shall never die a peaceful death."
Feng Lingxi heard her swear like that and helped her up, "I just want to know if I was truly foolish or pretending to be foolish before. You don't need to make such a harsh oath."
"Miss, you were always mischievous before, always sneaking out. You're so innocent, perhaps that's how you met His Highness the Prince. But you never told Xiao Li about knowing the prince."
Feng Ling Xi's gaze at Xiao Li didn't seem like a lie.
Could it be that the original owner was pretending to be foolish all along, known only to herself, or is she truly foolish But if she's truly foolish, how could she develop such feelings for Dugu Yan and even say she would marry him
"You go prepare the meal first, I'll rest for a while."
This complicated relationship was giving her a headache, and what Dugu Yan had said before leaving only added to her worries. If he wasn't willing to let it go, wouldn't she still have to deal with him in the future
That man was enough to worry her, and now with another prince added to the mix, Feng Lingxi only wanted to settle things once and for all. She thought about killing them both, just to get rid of the annoyance.d certainly be able to regulate his body and keep him healthy. The imperial physicians in the palace weren't incompetent; they were simply loyal to their respective masters and had ulterior motives. O...
