Chapter 207: Palace Change 51

eing that she didn't speak, and seeing Cheng'er defending her, she could only wait for the Emperor to speak.As a young man, I may have spoken improperly and offended the Fourth Princess. I apologize f...Feng Yu Xi looked at her father with a smile in her eyes, "Father, you worry too much. How could I compete with my elder sister for favor The Crown Prince asked me to visit my elder sister at the Prince's Mansion, it was naturally out of kindness towards her. I wouldn't be so oblivious to propriety."

Feng Aotian replied, “As long as you understand. Now that Xi’er is accompanying the Fourth Prince on his expedition, and your third sister... Father only has you and your elder sister left by his side. Father doesn't want anything to happen to either of you.”

"The wind and rain soothed Dad, "Daughter understands, Daddy can rest assured to do things, daughter won't give Daddy any trouble."

"Truly a worthy daughter of her father."

Feng Aotian patted her hand and glanced at Feng Lingxi who had walked away, "I hope Xier's journey will be successful and she will return triumphantly with the Fourth Prince."

The carriage slowly left Beijing, traveling on the official road which was relatively smooth. The carriage wasn't bumpy either. Although the arsenic wound had been affected, it was recovering well. Throughout this journey to the border, over ten days and a half months, Feng Lingxi spent every day with the soldiers, enduring wind and rain, sleeping under the stars. Though arduous, it was bearable.

"Xier, we'll be there in five days. These past few days have been hard on you."

Dugu Cheng handed her the roasted rabbit meat. Feng Lingxi took it and gave the rabbit leg to Pi Xiang, “Second Sister, you eat.”

When Pihuang heard her call her "Second Sister," she smiled faintly at her, took the dish, and ate it silently with her head bowed.

During this time, Wind Ling Xi's care for her surprised her. Her injuries recovered very well, and she had all the medicine she needed along the way. If it weren't for that, her injuries wouldn't have recovered as well as expected.

"My Lord, Second Sister's injuries will heal in a few days. Could you see if there are any self-defense weapons to give her"

"Xi'er wants a bow and arrow"

Seeing her nod, Dugu City took out a crossbow and handed it to her, "I've been ready for a long time."

Feng Lingxi took it over, tested it out, and was very satisfied.

"The king is thoughtful."

Dugu Cheng looked at the faint smile on her face, and watched as she came out, her smile grew wider and wider. He was happy just watching her. Along the way, Xi'er's understanding of bows and crossbows far exceeded his expectations.

"Xier, would you like to ride a horse This king will teach you."

"My lord, if you want to be alone with the princess, just say so. Why beat around the bush Hmm..."

Before Ye Xi could finish his words, he was stabbed by Dugu City. The pain caused him to clutch his abdomen and look at Dugu City pitifully, "Your Majesty, why did you hit me"

"Little Li, drag him away!"

Xiaoli was stunned, her expression was so cute that it exploded. She hurriedly grabbed Ye Xi's arm and walked aside, glaring at him不滿地.

"Don't you understand, 'seeing through it without saying it'"

Ye Xi gave a resentful look, "I was just stating the facts, what did I say wrong" As soon as she finished speaking, another punch landed on her abdomen. Ye Xi looked at Xiao Li, "You..."

Xiao Li's eyes warned, "If you don't shut up, you won't be in this position later."

His eyes swept over her abdomen, and Ye Xi Jun's face changed instantly. He immediately accompanied her with a smile, "Xiao Li Jie, whatever you say."

"Go to wherever it's cooler."

Ye Xi chuckled, standing beside her and smiling obsequiously.

Duke Gucheng withdrew his gaze and said to Feng Lingxi, "Xier, Ye Xi is indeed very afraid of Xiao Li. It seems that this king can give Ye Xi to Xiao Li to discipline well."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the two people over there, her gaze lingering on Dugu Cheng's smiling eyes.

"Little Li is an innocent girl, Ye Xi don't corrupt her."

Xi'er said, "This king will thoroughly discipline Ye Xi and will absolutely not allow him to corrupt Xiao Li."

Looking at his obedient appearance, Feng Ling Xi's eyes held a smile. Truly, what kind of master one has, one has as their subordinate. They are all of the same virtue.

However, it's not bad either.

"Arsenic, tomorrow you and Xiao Li will take a carriage. I will learn to ride a horse. When your wounds are healed, I will teach you."

If you are going to war, it is very inconvenient if you cannot ride a horse.

"Do as the Princess says."

Feng Lingxi explained, “We’ll be staying here for a while, and it’s important to learn how to ride horses. Besides, disguising ourselves as men will make things easier for us.”

"Xi'er is right, learning to ride a horse is definitely necessary. If you want to learn, this king will make arrangements."

Arsenic was moved. Seeing them treat her so well, it would be a lie to say she wasn't touched.

"My Queen, to be honest, I've always had a question. Why did you go to such lengths to save me I did so many terrible things to you in the past. Don't you mind at all"

Seeing her bring this up, Feng Lingxi wasn't going to hide it from her.

"Besides being your elder sister, I saved you because I don't want to help you seek revenge. Revenge is something you should handle yourself."

Besides, don't you want to know what grudge there is between my elder sister and the Sixth Prince

These days, she has been very puzzled. She had to admit that her medical skills were truly amazing. Even in such a state, she was able to save her life.

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, a smile on the corner of her mouth that made Dugu City mesmerized. He liked watching her smile, even this slightly meaningful one. He found it quite pleasing to the eye.

"If you are willing to speak, you will naturally speak. If not, I will not force you. I believe that when you need me, you will tell me everything."

Bi Xiang's silence spoke volumes. Feng Ling Xi's words had shaken the secret she kept hidden in her heart. What if she told him Would it strip her of her value Would Feng Ling Xi abandon her then

Dugu Cheng took Feng Lingxi's hand, "Walk with this king for a while, after eating, let's exercise."

These days, there hasn't been a chance to be alone with her. My beloved wife, I can't even hug her when we sleep. It's so itchy inside me, she doesn't even give me a kiss. It's driving me crazy.

Seeing that she wasn't getting up, Dugu Cheng filled his eyes with resentful glances at her. Feng Lingxi felt uncomfortable under his gaze and stood up. Turning to Ashi, she said, "I'm going for a walk over there. Don't wander off here."

With a rustle, the arsenic echoed. Watching their retreating figures, she fell into deep thought.

"Xi'er, can you sleep with this king tonight"

Feng Ling Xi's lips twitched slightly, he was clearly infatuated and didn't care about his surroundings.

"What I mean is, simply sleeping together. With so many people here, it's not convenient for me to do whatever you want."

"Dugu City, when do I want to do what"

"That's exactly what I thought, look at your face all red, trying to play tough."

Feng Lingxi was angered by his words. Seeing her like this, Dugu Cheng's handsome face revealed a doting smile, he hugged her in his arms, "Xier, let this king hold you properly. These days, I have been watching you, but I can't hold you in my arms. It's really difficult."

Slick and oily.

Feng Ling Xi didn't push him away. Along the way, he had been honest and knew she was tired. Besides taking care of her, he hadn't done anything to her either. He could be considered considerate.

"I have some good news for you, want to hear it"

Dugu Cheng hugged her sitting on the hillside, looking at the boundless mountains ahead, “Father has taken back the throne.”. Please step aside."When Empress Cen addressed Feng Lingxi as the Holy Master, Dugu Xiu's face kept changing between pale and red. He glared coldly at Feng Lingxi before turning and leaving.Feng Ling...
