Chapter 212: Palace Change 56

ncess helped us, Yu Xi and Aunt have nothing to repay you."Zhang hurriedly helped her up, "Silly child, get up quickly.""Third sister, apply the medicine I gave you to your face on time, and the scars...Feng Ling Xi wasn't asking, she had already finished treating Dugu Cheng's wounds and bandaged him up. It was already daybreak by the time she was done.

Dugu City woke up and saw Feng Lingxi sitting by his bedside. He looked at Ye Xi, who lowered her head and dared not speak.

"All of you, leave. I have something to say to the King."

Feng Lingxi asked, "What happened With your skills, how could you have been injured like this"

"It is General Zhao."

獨孤城 didn't want to hide it from her, "He belongs to the Empress. This king didn't expect it to be him, thinking it was General Li. This king sent him to Liu Xi County, but he didn't go. This king and Ye Xi went to investigate the news and inadvertently discovered his secret. When questioned, he injured this king."

"You discovered him, yet you had no defenses You ended up injured like this Dugu City, was your title of War God just picked up"

"I just questioned him, and he played me. That's how he managed to outsmart me."

Dugu City glanced at the wound on his arm, "Since I set out, I have been following these two generals, fighting in all directions. I never knew he was the Queen's man. This time, even if I hadn't found out, he would soon attack me."

"Where is he now"

"He got away."

Looking at the coldness in Dugu Cheng's eyes, Feng Lingxi took out Zi Xing and gave it to him, "This is the real Zi Xing, I let you have it."

Dugu Cheng looked at the pendant she handed him, his gaze sweeping over her neck, "This is..."

"I trust you with this."

Feng Ling Xi put the purple star into his hand, then took out the necklace she was wearing around her neck. Looking at the identical purple star on the pendant, Du Gu Cheng's eyes were filled with confusion. He subconsciously reached out and compared them. After comparing, Du Gu Cheng understood. She gave him the real one, and wore a fake one herself. It seemed that someone had noticed something about the purple star.

“Just as you think, General Zhao betrayed you. The Empress’s people are definitely still here, and they’ll eventually find me.”

Dugu Cheng sat up, "Tomorrow, accompany this king to Linhe County."

Feng Lingxi watched him sit up, her eyes puzzled, "Dugu Cheng, you..."

Dugu City looked at the doubt in her eyes, placing her hand on his chest. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, Feng Lingxi's eyes widened as she looked at the smile on his lips and her gaze fell on his arm.

"Were you just pretending"

"As you said, there are the Empress's spies here. This King will play along. Since Xier has confided in this King, this King won't keep anything from you either."

Feng Ling lightly punched him in the chest, glaring at the smile on his lips. She was furious.

"Dugu City, you really are..."

Dugu Cheng covered his chest and lay down, but he still held her hand tightly. "Xi'er, Your Highness's chest hurts so much, you hit me."

Feng Lingxi couldn't help but laugh and cry, she pulled her hand back and glared at him, "Serves you right."

She actually deceived him, saying that with his martial arts, how could he possibly faint It turned out he was pretending all along. This guy even deceived her! If she hadn't entrusted Zi Xing to him, would he have kept deceiving her Thinking about how worried she had been for him just now, Feng Lingxi felt extremely distressed.

"Shhh."

獨孤城 hurriedly signaled her to quiet down, saying in a low voice, "Don't let anyone notice."

"What are you going to do next"

Follow the vine and gourd, lure them out.

Feng Lingxi glanced at the injury on his arm, "Are you sure they won't see through you tomorrow when you go to Linhe County Otherwise, I'll run it for you."

"No."

Dugu City refused without hesitation, "It's too dangerous, this king won't allow you to take risks."

"Let's go in a few days."

Feng Lingxi spoke, and Dugu City readily agreed, "Alright, I'll do as you say."

Seeing the triumphant smile on his face, Feng Lingxi retracted her hand, "Rest well, I'll go take a look."

"Xier, I still need you to do me a favor."

Dugu Cheng held onto her hand tightly. Feng Lingxi met his gaze for a moment before nodding and sitting down.

Wind Ling, after finishing her work, came out and saw Xiao Li standing there, full of anger. Seeing her arrival, she complained resentfully, "Your Highness, these soldiers are too much! This time, you were acting on orders, but they blame everything on you! They say it's because of you that the King was injured, that a woman shouldn't be in the military camp, and that it's bad luck..."

"You go prepare a few sets of men's clothing, we'll all change into them in a bit."

Feng Lingxi interrupted Xiao Li's words, looking at the queen like this. Xiao Li was very angry, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with you."

"Be obedient."

Xiaoli angrily went to find her clothes. Feng Lingxi returned to the tent, and along the way, she heard the soldiers whispering, talking about Dugucheng's injury. They all said that it was not right to bring her on this campaign this time, saying that a woman appearing in the military camp was unlucky, which would cause Dugucheng to be seriously injured as soon as he arrived.

Feng Lingxi listened without any change in expression. On the other hand, Xiao Li and Bi Shuang were both furious.

Feng Lingxi, dressed as a man, returned to Du Gu Cheng's tent. The soldiers who were speaking with him when she entered immediately shut their mouths.

"Xi'er, why are you wearing men's clothes"

Looking at Xier's menswear, Dugu City frowned slightly, "Is it because of what they said that you changed into this"

Feng Lingxi walked to his face, "No, I just feel this way would be more convenient."

"My Lord, this subordinate takes his leave."

Dugu Cheng tugged on Feng Ling Xi's hand, having changed into men's clothing. He felt incredibly awkward. "Go change back, this doesn't feel right for the king."

"No change."

Feng Lingxi opened the medicine box and took out a bottle. "I'll change your dressing, from now on I'll wear men's clothes here."

Dugu City saw her expression serious, "Just now those soldiers came in and said that the king shouldn't have brought you here because since you arrived, the king was injured."

"If Your Highness wishes for me to return to the capital, then so be it."

獨孤城看著她眸中的不悅，拉著她的手，溫柔地說，“朕捨不得。”

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, applying a little pressure to his wound. Dugu Cheng winced in pain, his brow furrowing. "Xier, be gentle, it hurts."

"Don't shout."

Having fought on the battlefield for so many years, this amount of pain was nothing to him. He was shouting so loudly that one would think they were doing something shameful inside.

"Xier, aren't you unhappy After this king finishes taking his medicine, I'll go out and punish them..."

As soon as he spoke, Dugongcheng gritted his teeth and closed his mouth. He looked up at Xi'er's cold eyes and remained silent.

"Don't forget what you just said to me. No matter what, I am the imperial physician sent by the emperor to accompany the army. They gossip about my relationship with you behind my back. If you have the guts, come and say it to my face."

Feng Ling Xi gave Du Gu Cheng his medicine, stood up, and said, "You rest first. I'll handle this matter myself. I will definitely make them convinced."

Looking at her departing figure, Dugu City's eyes were full of curiosity. He looked at Ye Xi who was stunned beside him and hurriedly beckoned, "Keep an eye on them for this king, don't let them bully Xi'er."sweeping over Dugu Xiu behind him."Sixth Prince, what do you mean""General of Wind, you speak."Dugu Xiu's sneer at the corner of his lips made Feng Lingxi raise her eyebrows in displeasure. Looking at...
