Chapter 44: Fighting on the Bed

are both after you, you can't let them catch you, or you'll be in big trouble.""Xier, did they make things difficult for you"Dugu Cheng pulled her up and down for a check, Feng Lingxi couldn't help la..."Your father has allowed your mother to stay in the palace for a while. She hopes that when she returns, you will be able to get along well. Also, without your mother's orders, you are not allowed to sleep in separate rooms, even during these days when Xi'er is unwell."

"Mother, are you entering the palace"

Dugu City heard this, his handsome brows slightly furrowed, "Is it Father Emperor's meaning or Mother Empress's"

"It was your father's wish, Cheng’er. Your mother hopes you will treat Xier kindly; she is a good girl."

The Dowager Queen held their hands together and, looking at Feng Lingxi's calm expression, said softly, "Xier, your mother knows you didn't willingly marry into the position of Princess Consort. Prince Cheng is a child who has been fighting on the battlefield for years. He doesn't know how to care for people or speak kindly. The two of you should get along well and see each other's good qualities."

Feng Lingxi looked at the expectation in Lao Wangfei's eyes. She just wanted to leave Dugu City and live her own life, but it seemed like that wasn't possible now.

"Xier, your mother knows you've suffered quite a bit since marrying into the Fourth Prince's Residence. But please trust your mother, Cheng'er is a man worth entrusting your life to. Get to know him slowly, and you'll realize he's not as he appears on the surface."

"Mother, please don't say any more."

Dugu Cheng coldly scanned Feng Lingxi, who remained silent. “If you wish to enter the palace and reside there, go ahead. I will visit you when I have time.”

"Er, you absolutely mustn't take a concubine in anger. This empress only recognizes Xi'er as your legitimate wife."

"Mother Concubine, a concubine can give the Prince's Manor offspring, why not"

Shouldn't everyone be thinking about having grandchildren and then letting their sons marry wives and concubines Why is it different here with the Old Madam

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a bit choked. This wasn't the same as what was recorded in history.

The Old Madam pulled her along, saying with a heavy heart, "Xi'er, while having children and grandchildren is certainly important, you've only just entered the Prince's Manor. Besides, getting into arguments with other women and vying for attention, are you truly willing to do that Your mother can tell, you're not that kind of woman. Your mother can also tell, just like her, you both hope to marry a husband who loves only one person."

The Old Madam's words surprised Feng Lingxi quite a bit. It turned out that the Old Madam also wanted to find a man who would love her for life.

But how did she know that she didn't want to share her husband with other women She hadn't shown it.

"Mother, did you say she only wants me to marry her"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his gaze made Feng Lingxi feel very uncomfortable.

"Ch'er, too many women are not a good thing. Don't forget what your mother concubine once told you."

After the old Madam finished speaking, she said to Feng Lingxi, "On the day you return to your natal family, Cheng'er didn't accompany you back. Tomorrow, let him accompany you back to your natal family. It's good for you to show a good face in front of your family members and don't let people think that you have no status in the Siwangfu."

"Mother concubine, no need to trouble yourself so much. My daughter-in-law has only been back for a few days, there's no need for the King to accompany me back..."

"How is it that there is no need for this This Empress Dowager has heard, on the day you returned home, your father went to the temple with your second aunt and did not wait for you to return. How can you allow them to treat you like this Send Cheng'er back, so that he can properly make a good name for you."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugucheng. She hoped he wouldn't die of anger, and that he would save face.

"Mother Empress, the Prince was injured and lost his memory before. Now his health is still important. Returning to his family's home is not urgent, his health is what matters most." She didn't want to go back with Dugu Cheng at all, she didn't want him to feel like she was begging him.

"Since Mother has spoken, this Prince will accompany you back tomorrow."

Dugu Cheng didn't want to argue with her either. He said in a low voice, "Mother, please rest for a while. I'll go down and prepare for tomorrow's visit to my natal family."

"Take some gifts, don't let Xier lose face."

"My child understands, Mother Concubine does too."

Du Gucheng and Feng Lingxi walked out of Xiu Xin Yuan. Feng Lingxi said to Du Gucheng, "You don't need to come back with me to my family tomorrow, I have already visited them. You just go about your business." She had no intention of returning to the General's Mansion at all.

"Don't you care about this King's amnesia"

Feng Lingxi hearing him ask this, lightly said, "I only hope that the Prince may be in good health."

"Hmph." Dugu City sneered, thinking of what his mother had said to him, he didn't believe she wanted to be the kind of woman his mother described.

"If you truly want me to live a healthy life, then stop arguing with me. I've never seen a wife speak to her husband like that."

獨孤城的言語讓風淩兮怒火中燒，“那王爺希望我怎麼做？”

As my queen, you shouldn't be gentle with me, nor should you think about how to win my heart. How could you even think of divorcing me

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. If it weren't for his status as the king, she would have really liked to give him a good beating and let him know who was in charge.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Lingxi spoke, "I'll say it again, Your Highness, if you are not satisfied with me as your wife, you can divorce me at any time."

And she heard the divorce papers in her mouth, Du Gucheng suddenly laughed.

"Want this King to divorce you"

Feng Lingxi met his gaze, looking at the smile on his lips, her brows furrowed slightly, not understanding what he meant.

"Does this mean you want me to divorce you so you can be with the Crown Prince Don't blame me for not warning you, even if I divorce you and the Crown Prince agrees to marry you, you would only be a concubine."

"You're crazy! When did I ever say I wanted to marry the prince"

Feng Lingxi was furious upon hearing his words. She had never said she wanted a divorce, and she desired to marry the Crown Prince. Didn't anyone else in the world besides the Dugu family qualify as a man

"Feng Lingxi, don't think that this king doesn't know the prince likes you. What kind of relationship you had with him before doesn't concern this king. Now that you have married this king, don't even think about this king divorcing you. Even if this king dislikes you, he won't send you to him."

After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, Feng Lingxi turned and left. She really didn't want to talk to him. She felt that if she spoke to him, she wouldn't be able to control herself and would directly destroy him.

"Where are you going, this king hasn't finished speaking yet."

Du Gu Cheng shouted, watching her leave without looking back, he was very angry.

"Feng Ling Xi, you stop right there for this King!"

No matter how he called out, Feng Lingxi's footsteps did not stop, and she soon disappeared from his sight.

"My Lord, the Crown Prince has arrived."

Ye Xi came to report. When Dugu Cheng heard the prince, his face became even uglier. This was truly a case of love between a man and a woman, finding their way to his mansion.

"Ye Xi, go check on Feng Ling Xi's past relationship with the prince."

"My lord, my subordinate knows that after the princess bestowed a marriage, the Crown Prince once visited General Manor and played chess with the princess. He even won against the Crown Prince, and they chatted for a long time in the garden."

When Dugu City heard Ye Xi's words, his handsome face darkened. Ye Xi hurriedly lowered her head, "This subordinate will go investigate immediately." the Yuan Dynasty. When they found you, you didn't know anything. To track you down, they had to investigate everything about you. If you have any blame, blame me. They were all acting according to my...
