Chapter 138: Fighting on the Bed (Part 102)
l me, will you do itFeng Lingxi suddenly asked, "He entrusted you to protect my safety back then. Now he has forgotten me and divorced me. What if the Emperor is forcing him to find me now, and he's u...Waterside Consort, upon hearing Feng Lingxi's words, hurriedly bowed. "Sister, I dare not. Please calm your anger."
Feng Lingxi raised her beautiful eyes slightly, "Little sister, you should tell me, why would my anger subside"
Shui Ci Fei lowered her head, clutching her handkerchief and biting her lip. Her expression seemed as if she had been wronged terribly by Feng Ling Xi, making one think that Feng Ling Xi had actually bullied her.
Feng Ling Xi took in all of Feng Ce Fei's gaze, watching her pitiful appearance. Anyone who didn't know the truth would think she was bullying her.
"You go down first."
The Shui side concubine withdrew, leaving with her maidservant.
Xiao Li saw Shui Cifei leave and immediately said, "Your Highness, this Shui Cifei is so beautiful. If she stays in the manor, she will be a threat. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the King has not yet favored her and..."
Xia Li made a gesture as if she were killing someone. Feng Ling Xi's eyes swept over Xia Li and she said in a flat tone, "She's just a poor woman who sold her life to the empress. Why would you want to kill her Besides, I'm not such a petty woman."
"Will the princess be angry with the prince"
When it comes to Dugu City, Feng Lingxi thinks of what happened last night. She's still aching all over now. Dugu City's behavior after drinking last night was indeed infuriating, but thinking about him being drunk, if they really confronted each other, she probably wouldn't get any benefit. If things got out of hand, it would give those with ill intentions a handle on them.
She had been married to Dugu City for so long, and they had never consummated their marriage. Last night's events, even though she was angry, she could only endure it, just as if it were retribution for the last time she forced herself on him.
"Just call it repayment for that night."
Feng Lingxi had finished her breakfast and went back to her room for a nap. When she woke up, Dugu Cheng was already back, but he didn't dare to step into the courtyard. He stayed in his study all day, several times he arrived at Feng Lingxi's courtyard, but lingered outside.
"Your Highness, the King has returned, but he doesn't dare come over here. He keeps pacing outside several times."
Xiao Li really couldn't stand it anymore. This prince was so different from last night, she wouldn't have reported to the princess if she hadn't seen the prince and Ye Xi wandering outside all the time.
Let him.
Feng Lingxi continued to research her pills. She had already returned them to him last night. If he wanted to do anything more to her, it would have to be with her consent. Otherwise, she wouldn't let him touch her.
Outside the study, Ye Xi watched the King who kept looking at the Princess's courtyard. His eyes held a restless anxiety. It had been more than an hour, and he hadn't uttered a word, nor dared to go to the Princess.
"Yeh Xi, go ask Xiao Li and find out what's going on."
"My Lord, at noon today, Shui Side Consort paid her respects to the Princess. The Princess asked Shui Side Consort if she blamed her for taking her bridal night. According to the maidservants, the Princess's face was so cold it could freeze people to death, scaring Shui Side Consort into silence."
"Xi'er is really angry."
Dugu Cheng was extremely annoyed. How could he be so reckless
They agreed not to force her, but in the end, they still forced her. They kept her up all night, and she definitely doesn't want to see him now.
Ye Xi glanced at the prince, forcing a smile and saying, "Your Highness was so fierce last night, it's no wonder the princess didn't lock the door."
獨孤城唇角微抽，冇好氣地瞪了夜希一眼，“昨晚本王是真的喝多了。”更何況，兮兒昨天晚上說的話太氣人，讓他冇有控製住，纔會做出這樣的事來。
It's normal for couples to have these kinds of things happen, but for some reason, he felt it was abnormal when it happened with Xi'er. He even felt a sense of danger.
"Why don't you, Your Highness, explain to the Princess that it wasn't intentional"
That's not nonsense.
獨孤城 stared at Ye Xi, "If it were you, could you listen to this king's explanation"
"Well, what else can we do"
Ye Xi shrugged. Things had already happened, was she supposed to act like nothing happened last night
"That Wangye should still seek his own fortune, I'll go to Xiao Li's side and inquire about the situation."
He had been listening to the prince's complaints all day, it would be better to go and see Xiaoli, maybe that girl could give him some news to appease the prince.
Dugu City held a book, but he couldn't read the words on the page.
"My Lord, Consort Shuixi requests an audience."
Hearing the three words "Waterside Concubine," Dugu City was about to say he wouldn't go, but then he remembered that Xi'er had seen the Waterside Concubine at noon. Maybe he could find out something from her.
"Let her in."
Water Side Concubine heard that Duke Dugu wanted to see her, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly entered the study. Seeing Duke Dugu sitting there, his handsome figure made Water Side Concubine's pretty face blush, and she slowly walked towards him.
"I have met Your Highness."
Hearing this coquettish voice, Dugucheng felt a surge of disgust in his heart. Compared to He'er, she was simply incomparable. A woman like this, who was so coquettish, was simply unpleasant to look at, let alone live with her.
"What do you want from this king"
Du Gucheng's voice was cold, Shui Ci Fei's face changed again. She looked at Du Gucheng and forced a smile, saying, "Returning to Your Highness, this concubine came to pay respects to Your Highness. This concubine has something she wants to ask."
"What's the matter"
The Consort of the Water Side clutched her handkerchief, thinking of Zhang Ma's death last night, and finally spoke.
"My lord, Zhang MaMa, who came with me as dowry, disappeared last night. I searched for her for a long time and heard she came to find you..."
"Grandmother Zhang defied her superiors and showed disrespect to this King. Last night, this King had her executed. The Emperor and Empress are aware of this."
Today, the Empress summoned him into the palace and questioned him about this matter. She asked what crime Zhang Ma had committed and even argued with him about it for a few words.
The Shui Side Concubine knelt on the ground with a thump, tears streaming down her face. “Your Grace, what crime did Granny Zhang commit This concubine grew up under Granny Zhang’s care. I…”
Before Shui Ci could finish her words, she was silenced by Dugu City's gaze. She bit her lip and knelt on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Your Highness isn't saying that you committed treason, Shui Side Consort. Although Your Highness allowed you into the palace, don't forget who you are. Don't think that because you were sent by the Empress, Your Highness wouldn't dare touch you. If you behave yourself, Your Highness will fulfill your wishes. But if you dare to plot against Your Highness, don't blame Your Highness for being merciless."
The Shui Ci Fei was so frightened by Du Gu Cheng's words that she trembled, and her tears fell even harder.
"I didn't mean it that way, I just..." Shui Cefei choked back her words, unable to speak. Dugu Cheng watched her like this, feeling thoroughly disgusted.
"This king has other matters to attend to. If you want to cry, go back and cry there. Don't dirty this king's study."
獨孤城 stepped out of the study, striding toward Feng Lingxi's courtyard without a second thought, completely forgetting that he had just worried about Xi'er being angry with him.
"Your Highness, the Prince has arrived."
Xiao Li looked at Dugu Cheng who barged in, hurriedly went into the room to report. Feng Lingxi heard that Dugu Cheng had arrived, her body stiffened, and she became nervous. thing.The High Elder looked at Wan'er's radiant smile and began to hesitate."This matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed with the other elders. The chieftain and the saint maiden sho...
