Chapter 1540: Glazed Violet Star 79

ft. His back was so heartbreaking, but Dugu City knew he couldn't be soft-hearted. To Huangfu Qingyun, he was grateful, but more importantly, he couldn't repay him.He could never push Xi'er in front o...Lu Nian told this king, or else this king would really be worried to death.” Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi and showed a smile. "Fortunately, you have such an identity, so the Empress Dowager cannot marry you off, letting you marry Huangfu Qingyun."

"Who I marry has nothing to do with you. Remember, we are already divorced."

If he hadn't been with Luo Qin Yi in the beginning, she wouldn't have divorced. But now that they were already divorced, what did he want Did he think he could control who she married Even though Feng Ling Xi didn't want to marry, in front of Du Gu Cheng, she couldn't let him know her true feelings. She had to hide it, lest he misunderstood and thought she still had feelings for him.

“The divorce letter is yours, and I haven't accepted it. Moreover, you forgot that when our father bestowed the marriage, he clearly stated that in this lifetime, the only woman who can be my queen is Feng Lingxi alone. Even I don't have the right to give you a divorce letter. We are destined to be bound together for life.”

"

Nonsense.

"

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, "Didn't I say it before As long as you defy me, our relationship ends..."

"But Your Majesty, I have never wronged you. I have always remembered our vow, to grow old together, hand in hand. This life, my Queen, will only be you. No matter body or soul, you are my only one."

"You..."

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Ling Xi's astonished gaze and hurriedly raised his hand to swear to the heavens, "Everything this king said is true."

Feng Lingxi swallowed nervously. When did this Dugu City become so shameless He didn't see Wan’er was here, too He was so openly confessing to her, wasn't he afraid his daughter would laugh at him

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi had to admit that her heart was filled with sweetness. She liked relationships that lasted, and she hoped that the man she loved could be the same way.

In ancient times, it was very rare for a man to remain chaste for a woman, let alone someone like Dugu City, who was a prince. Feng Lingxi admitted that at this moment, her heart was truly filled with satisfaction.

At least these years she has been with him, the feelings she put in are still worthwhile.

"Wǎn'ér, do you believe what he said"

Although Feng Ling's heart was filled with joy, she didn't show it on her face. After all, he had driven her away five years ago, there was no way she would let him off so easily.

"Of course I don't believe him, this man has had his backyard filled with women for the past five years." Wan'er rolled her eyes, not forgetting to add fuel to the fire, "Mother, please don't believe his words, he is slick and flattering, not a single word is true."

When Duke Gucheng heard his daughter say this, after he had just been defending her, how could she now turn around and sell him out completely, with no regard for their relationship at all

"Waner, when did father become so slick and charming Moreover, every word my father said is the truth. What are those women in the backyard doing You're not ignorant of it."

"Of course I know, the Empress Dowager isn't always urging you to have them bear her grandsons, is she How could I not know, she just wants to have several more grandsons to replace me."

Dugu Cheng wore an innocent expression, watching Feng Lingxi coldly watch him from the side. He was truly desperate now.

"I don't."

"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious myself. You, the esteemed Prince Chen, how could you possibly let all these beauties in the palace live alone"

Then get yourself checked.

獨孤城的臉色都青了，要怎麼證明自己的清白，他真的是太難了。

"Not interested."

Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes. How could this man possibly prove it.

"Is it that you're not interested, or are you afraid"

When Dugu Cheng finished speaking, Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. He immediately fell silent.

However, the atmosphere in the carriage was truly much better than before. At least in Dugu City's view, there wasn't as much distance between Xi'er and him as before. As long as he diligently proved that he hadn't wronged her in these five years, Xi'er would forgive him.

"Did the Empress Dowager make things difficult for you today when you entered the palace"

Feng Lingxi asked Wan'er, this girl rushed into the mansion, she must want to tell her about entering the palace.

"That's fine, I'm used to it. I'm not her son after all. The Empress has never liked me."

Wan'er's tone held a hint of displeasure. Dugu Cheng held her hand, soothingly saying, "It's fine, as long as father likes you."

"Who wants you to like them, just now said they only like my mom."

Waner's words made Feng Lingxi, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Dugu City felt embarrassed, "You are my daughter, and liking your mother is different."

"Speaking of which, did the Empress Dowager give up on her thoughts of marriage after finding out about her true identity"

"I wouldn't say so, but she definitely won't be as reckless as before. She will definitely send someone to investigate your identity to see if it's true. If it's fake, she will continue to let you and your relatives stay here. This time, the Empress Dowager is determined to have you marry into the Chen Wangfu." Dugu City's expression became serious. "On the surface, it sounds good that they want to arrange your marriage for you, but they are using this method to bring Siqi and Siyu back to the Chen Wangfu."

To put it simply, she doesn't want me to stay and wants to take my children away from me.

Feng Lingxi sneered. This idea wasn't bad, but unfortunately, she was taking herself way too seriously.

She wouldn't allow him to marry her off, even if she wanted to marry Huangfu Qingyun.

"Xi'er, the Empress Dowager has changed quite a bit these years. I estimate that after so many years as Empress Dowager, facing such power and status, she has forgotten her original intentions. Don't take it to heart."

When Dugu Cheng said this, his eyes were dim. Over the years, he had watched with his own eyes as his biological mother became cold and ruthless for the sake of the imperial throne, no longer the maternal concubine who valued family over power.

Feng Ling Xi saw the sadness in Du Gu Cheng's eyes. She knew that the changes in the Empress Dowager had a significant impact on Du Gu Cheng. No matter how true or false what Feng Yu Xi said to her, one thing was certain: over the past five years, since he and she parted ways, his life had been far from easy. He not only lost her but also the love of his biological mother.

"Dugu Cheng, five years ago, why didn't you tell me you were going to hand over the military power Was it because you didn't believe I would stay by your side, or did you think I was just a cowardly woman"

獨孤城抬起眼眸，對上風淩兮質問的眼神，目光變得暗淡下去。

"Xier, some things aren't as simple as you imagine. If this King had kept you back then, do you think we would have met again"

"Do you mean they still want us dead"

Du Gu Cheng remained silent, but his expression spoke volumes. Feng Ling Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that this was indeed the case. This birth mother, having become the Empress Dowager, wanted to kill her own son. Was there truly such ruthlessness in the world A viper doesn't eat its own offspring, did the Empress Dowager really possess such cold-heartedness

"Mother, the Empress Dowager is not as bad as you imagine. She just wants Father to marry another woman and not be with you. She would kill you, but she would never kill him. At most, she would just be disappointed in him." have such thoughts, just take care of your mother's side first. As for King Yu and the emperor's little thoughts, our Lu family will handle it ourselves and won't make things difficult for you."Have...
