Chapter 59: Contending on the Bed 23

."Mother empress, your daughter-in-law believes that the lord will surely return safely."The Old Madam nodded with satisfaction, "Come, these are all dishes prepared specially for you by the Imperial..."Fourth Sister, don't lie to me."

Feng Ling Yu twisted her fingers, half believing and half doubting Feng Ling Xi's words.

"If Second Sister doesn't believe me, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Little Four, Sister Two doesn't mean it that way. Sister Two just wants to be sure. After all, this kind of thing requires a woman to take the initiative, it's really embarrassing for a man."

Feiling Yujie was very conflicted. In the Fourth Prince's residence, if she truly succeeded, she could remain by the Fourth Prince's side. Even as a concubine, she could potentially ascend to the position of principal wife.

"Second sister, she will eventually belong to the King. As for whether she can climb onto Fourth Prince's bed, that depends on Second sister's own abilities. These past few days, I've been worn out by the King. Second sister, seize the opportunity yourself."

Feng Lingyu was a little disbelieving. Would Feng Lingxi be so kind as to let her serve her man

"Fourth Sister, you wouldn't want to take this opportunity to frame me, would you Don't say that when I make a move on the Prince, you'll tell him that I intentionally seduced him and accuse me of being shameless. Where will I put my face then"

Feng Lingxi heard her words, her eyes turned cold.

"Well then, elder sister, let's just pretend I never said anything."

Feng Ling Yu saw that she was angry, and hurriedly accompanied her with a smile and said, "Don't be angry, I was just kidding you! Of course I believe what you said, it's just that this kind of thing is really embarrassing. I have to think about it carefully."

"Second Sister, you figure it out yourself. I've said everything that needs to be said. The rest is up to you. Xiaoli, let's go for a walk outside."

Anyway, since Dugu Cheng wasn't at home, she went to the market to buy some medicinal herbs and took a look around for a suitable place to rent a shop. If she really broke up with Dugu Cheng, she would need a place to live too.

Now, Du Gu Cheng pretends to be very close with her on the surface. In fact, only he knows in his heart that his tricks are just to make her fall for him, and then cruelly dump her, wanting to make her feel sad for him.

This trick, in front of her, she only felt very childish.

But if he wanted to play, she would accompany him until they were satisfied. She wanted to see if it was Dugu Cheng who captivated her heart, or if Feng Lingxi could win.

“Your Highness, are you really willing to give the King to the second Miss Wasn't the Old Queen against you taking concubines or a secondary wife for the King before Why would you add to your own troubles Bringing the second Miss into the mansion isn't this just putting the King in her arms Xiao Li truly doesn't understand Your Highness's thoughts.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's distressed expression and asked nonchalantly, "Xiao Li thinks if you don't give him a concubine, he won't take one himself Don't all men want three wives and four concubines"

But Your Majesty never said anything about having three wives and four concubines, did the Dowager Empress not also say that the only Princess Consort your Majesty will have is you

"Xiaoli, do you still remember how I lost my virginity to Dugu City"

Xiao Li nodded. Besides her mistress, who else would dare to call the King by his name like that However, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The King deceived his wife, he deserved it.

“Feng Lingyu spoke to me in the General’s Mansion in such a way, her heart was set on Dugu City, wanting to be his woman. What do you say if I don't fulfill her wish, how can I repay the innocence they jointly schemed to harm me back then”

Xiao Li looked at the princess with a puzzled expression. Feng Ling Xi smiled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

A man wanting to sleep with her would have to see if she, Feng Lingxi, agreed. And besides, this is just a trap she set.

Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li to buy medicine, and by noon, she took Xiao Li to the restaurant. The two of them went out in plain clothes. She rarely showed her face at the General's Mansion. Now that she came out, not many people recognized the two of them.

Feng Lingxi found a seat by the window, ordered some food and looked out at the street, trying to find a suitable shop here.

"My lord, aren't we going back to the manor" If the madam knew they had returned and didn't go back to the manor, what if she accused my lord of lying to her again

"How is it that this King can't even decide where to have a meal without consulting her"

Dugu City walked towards the tavern, "I'll have dinner here today."

Ye Xi, seeing the king's attitude, could only pray that the princess wouldn't find out.

"Your Majesty, isn't that the King"

As soon as Dugu Cheng stepped onto the floor, Xiao Li, who had been looking around anxiously, immediately saw him. She excitedly pointed at Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi, "They actually came too."

Feng Ling Xi retracted her gaze, looking up at Dugu City and Ye Xi who were on the upper floor, a slight curve to her lips, "No wonder they said they wouldn't come back for lunch, so they were eating here."

"Your Majesty, should we call the King over to have a meal with us"

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over Dugu City, "Pretending not to see it works."

She might not want to, but Ye Xi still saw it. As soon as Ye Xi arrived, he checked everywhere. When he saw the Princess sitting by the window, he quickly leaned in and whispered to the King, "Your Highness, the Princess is over there."

Dugu Cheng followed the direction of her gaze and saw Feng Lingxi staring out the window. His expression changed slightly before he broke into a smile and quickly walked toward Feng Lingxi.

"Xier, are you out"

Xiao Li hurriedly got up, "Your Highness..."

"Sit down, there's no need for formalities out here."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him and said faintly, "I came out to buy some medicinal herbs. Is Your Highness still here finishing up business"

"Things are not finished yet, I'm hungry, came here for a meal, didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. Xi’er said we must be really destined, don't you think"

Ye Xi watched the change in attitude from the King towards her, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the King was so afraid of his wife.

Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi beside her, "Your name is Ye Xi, right"

When called upon, Ye Xi hastily straightened her body, tensing up all over.

"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Ye Xi, at your service."

Looking at Ye Xi's incompetent appearance, Dugu City couldn't help but despise him.

Feng Lingxi said lightly, "My impression of you is quite good. You are a loyal subordinate."

Ye Xi looked at the princess in astonishment. Was she praising him

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the praise. This is what I am duty bound to do."

Feng Lingxi nodded, her eyes coldly scanning over Dugu City.

"Hey, you should avoid sleeping at my place for the next few days."

Why

He had already retreated to sleeping on the floor, what else did she want

Feng Lingxi looked at the repressed discontent in his eyes, her gaze sweeping to Ye Xi standing nearby. "Take good care of His Royal Highness these days, and don't let him come to my courtyard. His body is very weak."

"Wind blows upon me."

Dugu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean by that What do you mean my body is weak If you hadn't poisoned me under the bed, would I have diarrhea"

“You're so weak from diarrhea, this is just the beginning. I haven't even started treating you with my newly purchased herbs yet. Take a few days to nourish your body and recover first. Then we can start the medicine. Honestly, these next few days are crucial for me to make sure everything goes smoothly. If I'm not careful, there’s a risk I could accidentally harm you.” Without warning, a dagger slashed across his face. Dugu Xiu was wounded and struck her chest with a heavy palm. Poison was injured and fell to the ground, coldly staring at Dugu Xiu who covered his f...
