Chapter 33 Who Cares About Him

neel in fear. “Such a stormy evening, yet you dare to deceive this old woman with a fake Purple Star!”獨孤雁 walked to the door and heard the Empress Dowager's angry voice. She quickly stepped inside."Mo...As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, a group of servants rushed to her and asked, "Your Highness, there's an assassin. We have been ordered to protect your safety."

Feng Lingxi looked at their back and didn't see anyone following them. She also didn't see the figure of Dugu City. Forcing down the panic in her heart, she asked, "Have you caught the assassin"

"To the Lady Wang, that assassin was highly skilled and escaped. My subordinates have already dispatched people to search within the palace."

"Go see what Mother Empress is up to. I'm fine here."

Feng Lingxi admonished, looking at these well-trained house slaves, she was worried about Duguo Cheng in her heart. She wondered if he had escaped successfully. She told them all not to go out, it's broad daylight, they really weren't afraid of death.

"Rest assured, Your Highness. Someone has already been sent to protect the Dowager Empress. The steward ordered me to come here to protect your safety. Please return."

Feng Lingxi glanced outside, "In broad daylight, the assassins should have left long ago. You four search around, and report any situation immediately."

"As you command, my lord."

Looking at the dozen or so extra guards in the courtyard, Feng Lingxi cursed Dugu City in her heart. If it weren't for his antics, her courtyard wouldn't have had an assassination attempt, and now she felt watched everywhere she moved, uncomfortable all over.

Back in the room, Xiao Li hurriedly soothed her, "Your Highness, he will be fine. Your Highness, don't worry."

"Who cares about him, that's just anger."

If they managed to escape, there was a chance they'd never see each other again and wouldn't have anything to do with each other. If they were caught, though, and she revealed their relationship, her good life would be over. She had only been here for a few days, and she didn't want to die so soon.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, "Go out and find out what's going on and tell me immediately."

Xiaoli responded and went out, closing the door behind her, instructing Chéng Xīn and Chéng Yì to guard carefully.

Feng Lingxi walked behind the screen, looking at the neatly stacked bedding on the floor. She was very restless.

Why should she worry about his safety If something really happened to him, wouldn't it be easier for her That night was just a one-night fling, she only saw him as a remedy, she shouldn't have any feelings for him.

Feng Ling Xi shook her head, trying to shake away the thoughts swarming in her mind. She gathered herself, preparing for the visit home tomorrow.

獨孤城 returned to the military camp, Ye Xi saw him come back and hurried forward to greet him.

"My lord, why did you return so early Didn't you say you were going to get revenge on the princess"

Dugu Cheng let out a cold snort, recalling that woman filled him with rage.

How's it going Any bites yet

Ye Xi heard the king's intense anger and immediately retracted her playful expression. She quickly reported the situation. After listening, Dugu Cheng's eyes flashed a cold glint, "Send an order down, tonight we will capture them all."

"My Lord, if you make a move like this, news of your survival will spread. What about the Lady Wang then"

Ye Xi was a little worried. These days, this prince has been spending time with the princess, and she was afraid they might have developed feelings for each other

獨孤城 stared at Ye Xi, his voice low and heavy. “Ye Xi, after I fell off the cliff, I lost my memory, including everything about Feng Lingxi. From now on, you are not allowed to mention her in front of Feng Lingxi. When I return, she will be my wife whom I have never met before, bestowed upon me through marriage. That's all, understand”

"My Lord, why are you like this Did the Princess not have an argument with you"

Dugu Cheng swept a cold glance over, Ye Xi secretly cried out in distress, hurriedly said, “Subordinate understands, Your Highness has amnesia, and doesn’t remember anything.”

Hearing Ye Xi's words, Dugu City's face finally improved.

Feng Ling Xi, that woman, isn't worth his attention at all. She's just a woman, isn't she

When he gets back, he'll give her a good dressing down and make her regret treating him so harshly.

The incident of the assassins at Si Wangfu had no outcome, Feng Lingxi could finally let out a breath.

"Your Highness, it's time for dinner."

Xiao Li shouted, looking at the pills the Queen was making, "So many, are they all made for him"

Feng Lingxi heard Xiaoli mention him, her eyes turned cold. "Xiaoli, from now on, don't mention him in front of me." She didn't even know his name. This time he left, and he definitely wouldn't think of coming back to find her. Between them, it was best to never see each other again.

"Xiao Li understands."

Feng Ling Xi put all the pills into the box, “Tomorrow I will go back to my parents’ home. About me and him, you mustn't tell Mother, except for you, I don't want a third person to know about this.”

Her innocence was ruined. If the Fourth Prince were truly still alive, she had to find a way to deal with it, or else when he returned, things would be exposed and disastrous.

"Xiao Li understands, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Feng Lingxi handed the box to her, "Tidy up, you'll have to go back home tomorrow."

There was no Dugu City here. Feng Lingxi slept soundly, and when she woke up, she saw Xiao Li, who was busy in the room. After freshening up, Feng Lingxi left the palace and got on the carriage. The steward of the Four King's Mansion had already prepared everything needed for her return visit. Looking at the pile of things, Feng Lingxi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the old princess had prepared so many things for her homecoming.

"Your Highness, the Dowager Empress has ordered this old servant to accompany you back home."

"Thank you, Butler."

Feng Lingxi got into the carriage, and it drove towards the General's Mansion. Xiao Li sat beside her, lifted the curtain, and looked outside, saying happily, "Your Highness, all the people outside are talking about you. They say that the Fourth Prince treats his wife very well and pampers her greatly."

Feng Lingxi responded, yesterday the old princess said she wouldn't allow her to return home and be wronged, that's probably what it means.

Upon arriving at the General's Manor, Feng Ling Xi dismounted her carriage and saw her mother waiting at the entrance. However, her father and Liu Shi were both absent.

"Xier."

Zhang watched as her daughter returned, excitedly stepping forward. Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward and supported her, “Mother, Xi’er is back.”

Zhang's tears of joy streamed down her face, "Mother knew Axi would definitely come back."

Feng Lingxi heard her mother's words and, looking at the deserted scene in the manor, couldn't help but ask, "Mother, did no one in the manor know that I was returning today"

Zhang looked at the return visit behind her, wiped away her tears and said, "Xi'er, your father said that the Fourth Prince's life or death is unknown, the Fourth Prince's Mansion won't let you return, so he went to the temple with your second aunt to burn incense."

"Madam Feng, please send someone to inform General Feng. This old servant is accompanying the Fourth Princess back to her maiden home on orders from the Old Madam. Please ask General Feng to return as soon as possible."

"Butler, stop!"

Feng Lingxi stopped the steward and, taking her mother's hand, smiled and said, "They're better off not being here. This gives Mother and me a chance to talk."

"Xier, it's best to inform your father to come back. Your return this time is a big deal. If your father doesn't return, how will you establish yourself in the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the future" Before, they were worried she wouldn't be able to return. Now that she's back, of course everyone should know. You can't let Xier lose face in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.. I'll handle it when I get back."These days he had warned them, but just to avoid bothering Feng Lingxi, he turned a blind eye and waited until they returned. Then, he would handle things cleanly and...
