Chapter 858: Frost Flower 48

his tone was clearly unsatisfied, he was finished, the King would definitely have him killed this time."My lord, I will go to the pharmacy first."Feng Lingxi left a sentence behind and entered the man...Upon hearing that it was Luo Juzhou, Feng Lingxi inquired and learned that during her wedding journey, the border prince who had been betrothed to her had passed away. Thus, King Pingxi privately brought Luo Juzhou back to Pingxi Wangfu. This time, when King Su chose a consort, King Pingxi proactively sent Luo Juzhou into King Su's palace to marry him. To everyone's astonishment, King Su actually agreed to this marriage.

For Luo Ju Zhou, this might be unfair. Being married to the crippled Su Wang, everyone sympathizes with Luo Ju Zhou. And because of that, people started talking again about how Feng Ling Xi stopped Luo Ju Zhou from marrying into the Fourth Prince's Mansion back then.

Fenglingxi was once again blasted at this crucial juncture.

"I didn't expect Luo Juzhou to proactively marry the King of Su. That's quite a surprise."

Windling looked at Dugu City's busy work of reviewing documents, leaned in front of him and joked, “Why don’t we bring Luojiazhou to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion”

Duguyan's hand holding the brush paused, he raised his eyes to look at Feng Lingxi, his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, his expression displeased.

"Xier, do you think this king has been too kind to you lately Are you getting lax and wanting me to discipline you"

Feng Lingxi's smile froze instantly, and she quickly laughed awkwardly. "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

獨孤城 felt pity for her body and had been bearing with his desire for her lately. He didn't want her to be bedridden afterwards.

However, speaking of which, Luo Juzhou married into the Su Mansion. Wouldn't I have to meet her then According to etiquette, I would even have to call her "Second Sister-in-law".

"In five days' time, the Emperor will host a grand wedding banquet. By then, we will all have to enter the palace. If you are free, please prepare accordingly."

After the wedding feast, what should I prepare for you

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City's serious expression, "I don't want to compare."

"No, this king won't allow you to be less impressive than them. The clothes have already begun to be prepared. You must shine when the time comes."

Feng Lingxi frowned. This was the first time Dugu Cheng cared about her performance in front of others. Feng Lingxi couldn't help but wonder, what was his reason for doing so

"Dugu City, why have you suddenly become so concerned about these things"

"I hope they all think you're a woman who loves to show off, so that they put aside their grievances and it benefits you in every way." Dugu City held her hand, looking at Xi'er's palm-sized face. "Because you don't like comparisons, standing out among the crowd makes you even more of a target."

"Do you want me to crash the party"

Feng Lingxi thought about using the word "random intrusion" to confuse their vision. That was a good idea.

Du Gu Cheng nodded, "That's about it. Anyway, the point is to make them think you are no different from ordinary women, and that will be enough."

Feng Lingxi nodded, “I understand. I will do as you say, and prepare the clothes for me when the time comes.”

"Whatever you need, just ask the steward to prepare it. Learn to see yourself as the Fourth Princess. Also, in front of them, you have to change how you address yourself, put on airs, and quickly integrate with them."

"You're the boss."

Feng Ling Xi smirked, got up and walked to the side to pour a glass of water, handing it to Du Gu Cheng, "Have you heard from Du Gu Xiu and the others recently"

"He's still hidden very well, it's unknown when we can find him. It seems the Empress Dowager intends to prevent me from investigating further, and the Emperor hasn't given any orders to continue. If this drags on, there will be nothing left to investigate."

"It's estimated that all the attention is focused here at Su Wangfu."

"I'm afraid things aren't that simple."

"Dugu Cheng sighed softly, “After all, he is the son of the empress dowager. Could the empress dowager truly let Dugu Xiu be treated so poorly"

Feng Lingxi nodded, it seemed that wanting Dugu Xiu to die was not very likely.

“It seems that King Su is out this time to be a scapegoat.”

Feng Lingxi frowned slightly. She and Dugu Cheng had temporarily calmed things down, but this Dugu Su, I'm afraid wouldn't have it so easy.

"Don't underestimate King Su."

Feng Ling Xi would know what Dugu Cheng meant. This Dugu Su wasn't an ordinary person. These days, his actions could be described as overly ostentatious, attracting the attention of many. However, King Su showed no signs of restraint, even becoming more unrestrained and flamboyant. His purpose, she was unsure of.

According to what he said before, King Su would seek revenge, but it shouldn't have been like this. However, he did this anyway. The purpose behind this is unknown.

"Alright, go to sleep. Don't think about it so much. Prepare well for the banquet in five days."

Feng Lingxi nodded, watching Dugu City pick up a scroll, her heart filled with compassion.

"You should get some rest too, don't always work so hard."

"This king will be right here."

Feng Lingxi slept soundly and woke up to find Dugu Cheng still awake. Perhaps he had too much to do; by the time he finished, it was already deep into the night. Seeing Feng Lingxi sleeping peacefully, he lay down beside her, gently holding her in his arms, closing his eyes contentedly.

When Feng Ling woke up, Dugu City was no longer by her side. Xiao Li waited on her to wash and dress, and seeing the flush on the queen's face and the widening smile at the corners of her lips, she said, "Your Majesty, your complexion has been getting better and better lately."

"In a good mood, no worries, naturally it's good."

Feng Lingxi tidied her clothes, and Xiao Li pondered for a moment before opening her mouth and saying, "There is something that the servant girl still wants to report to the Princess."

"What's the matter"

It had been a long time since Xiao Li had reported anything to her. Hearing this, Feng Lingxi suddenly had a bad premonition.

I don't know what happened again.

"Just now the steward told me that Miss Luo has arrived at the estate and is currently in Lady Shu's courtyard."

"Luojuzhou"

Feng Lingxi frowned, watching Xiao Li nod, full of confusion, "What is she doing here"

"I don't know. According to the steward, when Lady Luo arrived this time, she was like a different person. She was gentle and virtuous, just like a well-bred lady."

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi was even more shocked. Could it be that because of her family affairs, Lu Juzhou's personality had changed

"Your Highness, shall we go take a look"

"Go take a look."

Even though she's just going to be the second aunt-in-law, it'll be interesting to see how this Luo Ju Zhou changes and acts more maturely, like a proper young lady from a wealthy family.

Feng Lingxi tidied herself up and went to Shutai's courtyard. From afar, she saw Shutai and Luo Juzhou chatting. Upon seeing her arrival, Luo Juzhou stood up and politely nodded, "Fourth Princess."

This politeness, this attitude, is really like a different person.

"Lady Luo, it's been a long time."

The Imperial Noble Consort beckoned Feng Lingxi with a wave of her hand. “Xi’er, this time Zhōu'er came to us with good news; she is going to marry into the Su Wangfu and become the Duchess of Su. From now on, according to seniority, you have to call her Second Sister-in-law.”

Feng Lingxi nodded and obediently sat beside Shu Taifei. "Mother, Xi'er heard from Acheng that in five days, the wedding will be held and the emperor will host a banquet. At that time, we will have to go to the palace to celebrate."

"It's good, Zhou'er has a place to belong and hasn't been married off far away. That's a good thing."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, looking at Luo Juzhou's smiling eyes as they met hers. She couldn't help but wonder if Luo Juzhou truly wanted to marry the King of Su or was being forced into it.n the corners and slipping down.Seeing Feng Lingyu crying like a drowned woman, Feng Yixuan should have felt pity, but for some reason, he felt nothing. He even found her tears annoying."Actually, my...
