Chapter 82: Battling on the Bed (46)

hurriedly accompanied a smile and said, "City Brother, Zhao Ran doesn't mean that, I just miss you, City Brother."Princess Zhao then stepped forward, wanting to grab Dugu City's hand, but he dodged he..."Xi'er." Dugu Yan walked over happily, Feng Ling Xi saw that it was the Crown Prince, and hurriedly bowed.

"I have met Your Highness."

Dugu Yan hurried forward to reach out and help her, but she dodged his hand.

"Xier has also entered the palace."

獨孤雁 looked a little embarrassed, was she avoiding him

Feng Lingxi responded, feeling the scorching gaze of Dugu Yan and disliking it very much. No matter how good Dugu Yan was to the original owner, that was in the past.

"Xier is here to attend the Emperor's evening banquet, right This palace will take you there."

"No need, I'll go with my mother later." Feng Lingxi hurriedly refused, meeting Dugu Yan's injured gaze. Feng Lingxi looked around. Dugu Cheng and Zhao Ran Junzhu were nearby. If Zhao Ran Junzhu saw this, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

"In that case, could you spare a few words with this palace This palace has something to say to you."

Dugu Yan refused to give up. She finally had a chance to speak with him, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to be alone with her.

Feng Lingxi took two steps back, keeping a distance from him, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have nothing to say to you. I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Dugu Yan saw that she was about to leave and hurried forward to grab her arm. This action caused Feng Lingxi's face to change drastically. Just as she was about to shake off his hand, she saw a figure rushing towards them.

"Eldest Brother, what are you doing"

Feng Lingxi watched as Princess Zhaoran arrived, followed by Dugu Cheng. His handsome face was full of displeasure, which made her very unhappy. Did he not trust her

"Princess Zhaoran, fourth younger brother, how did you two come together"

The prince's words caused Dugu Cheng's face to darken. "Your Highness, I met Princess Zhaoran on the way and chatted with her for a few words. What is your Highness saying to my wife now And you're even holding her hand"

Feng Lingxi seized the opportunity to shake off the prince's hand and walked aside. Suddenly, Princess Zhao Ran stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped Feng Lingxi. Just as the slap was about to land, it was stopped by Du Gucheng.

"Princess Zhao Ran, what do you mean by this You dare to strike my woman in front of me"

Princess Zhao'an glared angrily at Feng Lingxi, her voice trembling with fury. “Cheng Gege, this shameless woman! I’ll teach her a lesson for you.”

Dugu City shook off her hand and said coldly, "You were holding onto this king's hand just now, why don't you say you have no shame"

Princess Zhao was utterly shocked, staring at Dugu City's cold face with red-rimmed eyes. "City Brother…" How could he say such things to her She loved him so much, and he accused her of being shameless.

"My lord, do you trust me"

Feng Lingxi suddenly asked, only to see Dugu Cheng holding her hand and placing it on his lips for a light kiss. "Trust me, my woman would never do anything to betray me."

Feng Lingxi drew back her hand and looked at Dugu Yan, "His Royal Highness, the same words as before, I have nothing to say to you."

In front of Dugu City, she once again told Dugu Yan that what she wanted was for Dugu Yan to know that she was no longer the person she used to be, and not to bother her anymore.

"Xi'er, you weren't like this before, you..."

Dugu Cheng stepped in front of the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, please be mindful of your words. Xi'er has never known you, and by saying such things, where do you intend to put her"

獨孤雁 glanced at Feng Lingxi, the words that reached her lips were swallowed back.

"Prince Older Brother, City Older Brother, why are you both so good to her What is so good about her that you are all fighting for her" Junzhu Zhao glared at Feng Lingxi, her eyes full of anger. She didn't believe she couldn't snatch City Older Brother away from her.

“Princess Zhaoran may not know, but Xi'er is not good at anything. But this king just likes her.”

Dugu Cheng held Feng Lingxi's hand, "Just now, my father asked me to accompany you for a walk. I didn't expect to meet Princess Zhaoran in the Imperial Garden and wasted some time."

"It's alright, haven't I also wasted some time"

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao Ran County Lord and the Crown Prince, "Your Highness is chatting with County Lord Zhao Ran, we will take our leave first."

Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Lingxi's hand away, and Zhaoran County Lord wanted to chase after them, but was held back by Dugu Yan.

"Princess Zhaoran likes the Fourth Brother, I know. But you should also be clear, Feng Lingxi is the Fourth Princess bestowed by the Emperor to the Fourth Brother. Princess Zhaoran should stay away from her trouble, lest the Emperor punish you and bring shame upon Yu's Royal Mansion."

When Princess Zhao heard the prince's words, her face changed drastically. She said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Prince, don't you want to be with Feng Lingxi I'm not blind, how could I not see that you like Feng Lingxi If you like her, just pursue her! I can help you."

"Show Princess, watch your words." Dugu Yan sneered coldly, "Don't cause trouble for yourself."

He liked Xi'er, that was all for her safety. He wouldn't be unaware of her current difficult situation.

Although the Fourth Brother married her, he could tell that their interactions weren't like those between a typical husband and wife. She probably feared that their past relationship would be discovered, making her life even harder. He had been negligent and hadn't taken care of her feelings.

Xier, don't worry, I will secretly protect you from now on and won't let you get hurt again.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu City walked in the imperial garden. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was rather awkward and depressing.

In the end, it was Dugu City who spoke first.

"Mother, why didn't you accompany her"

Feng Lingxi saw him open his mouth and didn't beat around the bush, "The Empress summoned her, and Mother Fei asked Zhao MaMa to accompany me for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. Unexpectedly, we met His Royal Highness."

"Don't get too close to the Crown Prince, after all, this is the palace. There are many people here and it's easy to be gossiped about if you're seen together."

"I know what the Lord said, but I'm helpless." She also wanted to get rid of the Crown Prince, but he wouldn't let go. He was too attached and his status was too high, leaving her with no choice but to endure it.

Dugu Cheng nodded, looking at the helplessness on her face. "This King knows, I'm not blaming you. I just want to remind you, in the palace is not like in the house, many eyes are watching us, if we are caught, there will be trouble."

Feng Lingxi responded because she understood this truth, which is why she chose not to argue with Princess Zhaoran.

“Princess Zhaoran is the most beloved daughter of Prince Yu, bestowed with the title of County Princess by the Emperor. Originally, my father intended to marry her to me. However, after what happened between you and me, I requested that the Emperor bestow you upon me instead. I presume this time, Princess Zhaoran has entered the palace to be wed to me.”

Du Gu Cheng still made it clear to Zhao Ran County Princess about their relationship. On one hand, he was afraid that she wouldn't know anything and might accidentally offend someone by saying the wrong thing. On the other hand, he also wanted to see her attitude towards him.

"The King said to me, 'What are these for' If the Lord likes this Princess Zhaoran, he can take her back as his fourth consort. I'm willing to give up my position as the fourth consort anytime."t down, raising her head to look at the princess, her attitude of admitting her mistake was extremely sincere."Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with the King" Let me know if you have any other tex...
