Chapter 841: Falling Frost Flower 31

acting coquettishly, "Or should I learn from those women and be a little more demanding""Mischievous."Listening to her coquettish tone, it's really a bit unaccustomed.Be yourself, don't imitate those...Feng Lingxi received a large pile of medical books from Dugu Cheng. After receiving them, she chased away Ye Xi.

In the eyes of the people in General's Manor, Ye Xi’s attitude towards Lord General spread rumors even more wildly.

Ye Xi originally still wanted to ask, but facing the Queen's attitude, he could only shut his mouth and return to the palace.

"Sister, what do you and brother-in-law mean by this"

Wind Feather Ink looked at the pile of medical books and was a little doubtful whether the rumors outside were true, "You and your brother-in-law wouldn't really have a falling out, would you"

Feng Lingxi flipped through the medical book, a smile spreading across her lips.

"What are you thinking about These medical books are exactly what I need. He brought them to me, so I don't have to be bored in the General's Residence these days."

Feng Yu Mo didn't understand what she meant, but Feng Ling Xi knew. These medical books were all taken back from the Imperial Medical Bureau by her before. Due to time constraints, she hadn't finished reading many of them. They were mostly ancient texts, and there were also a few about Western Regions toxins.

Dugu Cheng hid it in the middle and gave it to her. How could she not know his intentions

"Sister, do you know the rumors spreading outside They say your brother-in-law and you had a falling out, that he wants to divorce you. Even the gambling dens in Beijing have started taking bets on this – betting on whether you will reconcile, or if your brother-in-law will give you a divorce notice. There are quite a few people placing their bets."

Feng Lingxi heard this, raised an eyebrow and looked at him, “Then you didn’t bet”

"Sister, what time is it How can you still have the heart to joke around"

Feng Yu Mo wore a gloomy expression, looking quite unhappy.

Feng Lingxi chuckled softly, "Who said I was joking with you I'm serious. Did you place a bet"

"How could I possibly bet"

He wished he could shut down those gambling dens. These people's mouths are truly unbelievable, they can say anything!

"You put it that way, doesn't that mean no one bets on me and Dugu City not getting along"

Feng Lingxi touched her chin and started thinking seriously, "If I placed a bet, wouldn't I be able to make some money"

"Sister, you're serious"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Of course it's true, Xiao Li, we have all our money left, let's buy them all and make a big profit."

"This slave will have Fifteenth go soon."

Xiao Li smiled brightly, anyway it's making money, this money was sent to the door, there's no reason not to accept it.

Feng Yu Mo looked at the two of them, so angry he didn't even want to speak.

After staying at the General's Mansion for two days, who knows what kind of rumors had spread outside. Feng Ling Xi spent each day playing chess with Feng Yu Mo and her grandfather, wandering around aimlessly, and when she had nothing to do, she would go to the back mountain to collect herbs. When she returned, she would study her medicinal ingredients at the General's Mansion, as if she were still unmarried, completely isolating herself from the outside commotion.

Fourth Prince's Residence

When Shu Taifei found out Feng Lingxi had returned to the General's Mansion, she held it in for two days. She just couldn't take it anymore, so she found Du Gu Cheng, who was having a meal with her, and questioned him.

"Cheng'er, Xi'er, what on earth is going on Are you really going to separate from her"

"Mother, have you heard all the rumors going around outside"

Upon hearing the rumors, Shutai Fei sighed.

"You two, what on earth is going on What have you gotten yourselves into Even the wives of the civil and military officials have been visiting to inquire about it these days. Your mother even doesn't know how to answer them."

"Mother said she didn't know, and that was fine. My son and Xi'er's business, when would it be their turn to worry about it."

Dugu Cheng served dishes to Shu Taifei, noticing the worry in his mother's eyes, he comforted her, "Mother concubine, even you have started to doubt how my son and Xi'er are doing"

"I..."

The Empress Dowager looked at the smile in his eyes and muttered, "Could it be that they've asked too many questions, making me wonder if you two are truly serious about this separation"

Dugu Cheng smiled and served his mother a dish, "Mother, rest assured at home. Don't worry about these matters outside."

Shu Taifei looked at his smile and let out a soft sigh.

"You really treat your own mother like she's old and irrelevant, not telling her anything anymore."

The smile on Dugu Cheng's lips widened, his tone soft and gentle. "Mother concubine, Your son and Xi'er just don't want you to worry too much. There are too many things happening in the court now, it's too chaotic, and we hope that you won't interfere and worry for us."

Shu Taifei glanced at him, her tone slightly sarcastic, “You think it's Mother's fault You think Mother is meddling.”

Dugu Cheng walked to his mother's side and knelt down, holding her hand, his eyes sincere, "Mother concubine, my son and Xi'er didn't mean it..."

"Well, look at you."

Shutai's forced composure shattered. She grabbed Dugu Cheng and stood up, "Is it just asking my mother to pretend she can't see You lot are so callous, you didn't even bother to say hello before doing this!"

Dugu City was reprimanded by his wet nurse, responding repeatedly. How could Shu Taifei bear to blame him After saying a few words, she stopped talking.

As long as you guys are alright, just bear with it. Xi'er is still a young lady after all, don't forget she's only seventeen this year.

"Mother, your son understands."

Mother's reminder, Du Gu Cheng suddenly felt very sorry for Xi'er. She was only seventeen, but she had experienced so many cruel things, and he hadn't been able to protect her well.

Thinking about it, Duguo City was sure to have a sleepless night tonight.

Thus, at three in the morning, Duguo City secretly snuck into the backyard of General's Mansion, bypassing the mansion’s layers of surveillance, and stealthily entered Xi'er's room. Looking at Xi'er sleeping soundly, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

For days, he was nowhere to be seen, yet she slept soundly.

"Who."

Xiao Li had just finished getting ready for bed when she suddenly discovered someone breaking in. Before she could even make a sound, she was silenced by Dugu City's acupuncture point.

"It is I, your king." Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Xiao Li widened her eyes. Dugu City let go of her, and Xiao Li hurriedly bowed. "Your Highness, how did you get here" she asked, then regretted it.

"This King is coming to see Xi'er, get out."

Xiao Li quickly retreated, watching as Fourteen and Fifteen arrived. She hurriedly told them to leave as well.

"At three in the morning, you're not asleep. What brings you to the General's mansion"

Feng Lingxi was woken up by the noise, and Dugucheng heard her voice, so he hurried over, lifted the quilt and lay down beside her, "This king misses Xier, come here to see."

Stretching out his hand, Feng Lingxi was pulled into Dugu City's embrace. Dugu City had a satisfied expression on his face.

Feng Lingxi looked at the fatigue on his face, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered We're causing quite a stir right now."

"So what It wasn't me who said it, they just made it up themselves."

Dugu Cheng yawned, sniffing the fragrance on Xi'er's body, his eyes couldn't help but burn with heat.

Windling watched as he leaned in with his lips, reaching out to block him.

"Settle down, don't get any ideas."

"Isn't being sneaky more romantic"

Dugu City flipped her over, pinning her beneath him. Looking into her eyes filled with warning, he helplessly lay down beside her, "Xi'er, I am your husband."

"Be patient."

Feng Lingxi threw back the covers and poured herself a glass of water. "How many eyes are on us now, you shouldn't have come! What if they find out..."

"Little Li won't say, you those few shadow guards were taken away by Little Li."

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi with a fawning expression, that pitiful look made Feng Lingxi's face full of helplessness. again and again."Prince Chen, my second master asked me to ask you, what are your intentions""Upon seeing Zhou Mu, we had a detailed discussion."Dugu City looked at Yu Feng's timid gaze, "Didn't I al...
