e, that's it. I'll go check.""Be careful."Feng Lingxi responded, her mind drifting to that Ye Shuang. She instructed, "Mother concubine, ignore that woman. My people will keep watch over her. You take...Feng Lingxi saw that he hadn't left yet, her brows furrowed slightly, "Is there something else"

Dugu Cheng looked at her, "I still have one thing unclear, and I need to ask you about it."

"Said."

Feng Lingxi was starting to get impatient, but thinking that she could get rid of him this way, she endured and let him finish asking.

"Since you've already given yourself to me, aren't you afraid of getting married and people finding out If they did, it would be a grave sin punishable by the extermination of your entire clan."

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering glance. "If you don't say, and I don't say, who knows Besides, this is an imperial marriage arranged by the emperor himself. He didn't say that I must be a virgin when I go to his bed. If anything were to happen, even if I died, I would drag you down with me."

His icy gaze held a heavy warning. Dugu Cheng wore an innocent expression, "I told you I wouldn't talk out of turn. You married the Prince, after all. Even if I didn't say anything, I can't guarantee others wouldn't find out about the palace struggles."

Feng Lingxi suddenly approached, Dugu Cheng stepped back, being pressed against the wall by her. Feng Lingxi placed her hand on his chin, their eyes met, sparks flying between them.

"Let me be clear, as long as you don't say anything, no one will ever know. Understand"

Dugu Cheng was uncomfortably under her cold gaze. This rumor was too unreliable, saying that the fourth miss was foolish and silly. With this kind of eyes, she could have him executed a thousand times over.

"Don't worry, Miss Four, I absolutely won't say anything."

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over his body, landing on the area below his abdomen. "Anytime I could make you experience the life of a eunuch."

Dugu Cheng instinctively clenched his legs, for the first time being stared at like this by a woman, Dugu Cheng instantly lost his momentum.

"Understood."

Feng Lingxi let go of him, "You can leave now."

There’s one more thing.

Dugu Cheng hurriedly said, Feng Lingxi was angry, looking at his handsome face, she endured the anger that surged upwards.

Since you're free anyway, just chat with me. I promise I won't bother you; I just have some things that are confusing me.

"Said."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, looking at his brazen and shameless smile. She really wanted to strangle him, end it all.

"Your father seems to dislike you. Would you like me to help you crush him..."

"This is my family business, if you have no other issues, now, immediately, leave right now."

Dugu Cheng saw her expression, suppressed to the limit, and hurriedly stood up, "I'll leave now, don't get angry, I'm not your opponent."

Watching him leave through the window, Feng Lingxi calmed her own heart, not letting it affect her.

When Dugu Cheng came out of the General's Mansion, Ye Xi had already been waiting for him. Seeing the Prince arrive, she hurried forward, "Your Highness."

"Ye Xi, this King tells you, this Feng Ling Xi is truly interesting. This King originally thought she would be distraught upon learning she was to marry as a widow, but unexpectedly, she agreed, and moreover..."

Dugu Cheng thought of the incident where he had crawled under his bed. He coughed lightly, this was definitely something he couldn't tell Ye Xi about.

Ye Xi listened to the king's endless praise, thinking about the imposing king who had threatened to settle the score before. It was simply embarrassing.

"Hearing the King praise the Fourth Miss so highly, he must not mind her treatment of you..."

Before Ye Xi could finish her words, a flash of anger crossed Du Gu Cheng's face. His smile vanished instantly as he said angrily, "This score must be settled. Naturally, I concealed my identity so that she would know the truth in the future, and make her apologize to me."

Ye Xi looked at his king's indignant gaze, he didn't believe the princess would apologize to him.

"My lord, shall we return to the barracks now"

He has been going to the General's Mansion every day with this injury, sneaking around in secret. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that this was the cold and ruthless War God King he knew.

"What would I be doing back at the military camp Everyone knows that this King is feigning death, so naturally I won't be returning. I have nothing better to do than spend time with Feng Lingxi and pass the time."

Looking at the king's playful expression, Ye Xi really wanted to say, Miss Fourth didn't want to relieve his boredom at all. She had just been driven out, when did her face become so thick

Du Gu Cheng patted Ye Xi's shoulder, "Ye Xi, you've grown up with me since you were little, and it's time for you to get married. I've found a girl for you..."

Before she could finish, Ye Xi knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, Ye Xi doesn't want to marry. I only want to protect Your Highness's safety."

Dugu Cheng helped him up and looked at his nervous expression, "Marrying a wife can also protect this king. That Feng Lingxi is not easy to deal with. This king intends to start with her maidservant. That maidservant looks sweet and innocent. I'll leave it to you to handle."

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly. The feeling of emotion from the previous second instantly vanished, this was the king he knew, his tactics were still so fast and accurate.

"My lord, let's practice this tactic when we get back. For now, you should go find the fourth miss incognito. If I appear too, once we return, she'll know you've been playing her all along. Things might get complicated." That fourth miss wasn't someone to be trifled with. She dared to make the lord hide under the bed and even threatened to have his women castrated at whim. Besides Feng Lingxi, who else would dare

Dugu City nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense. When I go back, I'll have to wear a mask and get rid of that woman."

Let her know the consequences of defying him.

Ye Xi glanced at the king, completely disbelieving him.

If it were said that the prince was played to death by the fourth young lady, he would remain unwavering.

"Let's go get some drinks!"

Ye Xi caught up with the king's footsteps and walked towards the direction of the winehouse.

After a long day, Feng Lingxi was completely exhausted. She hadn't had a moment to rest these past few days. In just a few more days, she would be getting married, so she had to get the money as soon as possible.

The next day, Feng Lingxi went to the dining hall for breakfast. When she saw Feng Lingxi arriving, Feng Linglong quickly sat in Feng Lingxi's place and looked at Feng Lingxi provocatively.

When daddy comes back, she'll see what Feng Lingxi can do to her.

"Miss, this is the fourth Miss's seat."

Xiao Li was very angry and felt sorry for Feng Ling Xi.

"Xiao Li, it's alright. Since there's no place for me in this family, let's just go out to eat."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Linglong's smug look, her eyes swept over her silent father, and she said lightly, "In a few days it will be the wedding day. I trouble Father and the Emperor to say a word, my elder sister will replace the legitimate daughter of General's Mansion to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I won't disturb you from your meal."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, let's go."

"Hold on!"

Feng Aotian slapped the table with a resounding boom, causing Feng Linglong to jump up in fright, her face paling.

"Linglong, come out and have dinner with your father. I didn't ask you to play around with Xier. Get up and give her your seat."

Liu reprimanded sharply, Feng Linglong hurriedly got up and sat down in her place, glared at Luo Yixin unwillingly.

"Xi'er, come sit here."

Feng Aotien commanded, Feng Lingxi turned to look at them, scanning over Liu shi who sat in her mother's place. She said calmly, "Second Aunt, my mother is weak, but her position is not one that you can take."brate her return. The entire capital was shrouded in smoke from the fireworks.The Lu residence was bustling with activity. Though Feng Lingxi's identity as the eldest daughter of the Lu family hadn't...
