Chapter 155: Clash on the Bed (Part 119)

such a large opening, even with his internal energy, he couldn't shake it open. Unless...Dugu Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Where is General Sun"Feng Yu Mo shook his head. Dugu Cheng hurriedly s...Feng Ling Xi stayed at the General's Residence to handle Zhang Shi's funeral arrangements, not uttering a single word. On the third day, she buried Zhang Shi and took away all the maids and elderly women from Si Wang Fu. From beginning to end, she didn't say a word to Feng Ao Tian.

She only said to Feng Aotiān as she left the General's Mansion, "From now on, she would not set foot in the General's Mansion again."

Dugu City came to pick her up. Looking at Feng Lingxi who had lost weight, his eyes were full of heartache.

Although he knew his mother-in-law's situation was her own arrangement, seeing how much weight she had lost still made his heart ache.

When the news of Feng Lingxi's mother's death spread, Shu Fei went out of the palace to see her. Seeing that she was thin, she held her hand and talked to her for a long time.

"Xier, if you can't attend the Empress's birthday celebration, your mother will go and tell the Empress to excuse you from attending the banquet."

Feng Lingxi forced a smile, "Mother concubine, it wouldn't be appropriate for the Empress Dowager's birthday if I didn't go."

"What's wrong With the Empress Dowager here, there's nothing improper."

Shu Fei held her hand, soothingly saying, "Xi'er, your heart is heavy right now. Don't worry about these things. With your mother concubine here, everything will be taken care of."

"Mother, your daughter-in-law is fine."

As her mother treated her like a biological daughter, how could she possibly make her mother suffer because of her.

"Xier, if we can't go, then we won't go. This king will stay with you."

Dugu Cheng spoke, and Shu Fei also agreed, "Your father knows about this. If you don't go, your father will make arrangements for you."

"Mother, if I don't go, who knows how many women the Prince will send in this time. If I go, I'll at least go looking beautiful."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "There's still some time, we can make proper arrangements so as not to trouble the Empress Dowager."

Dugu City saw her insistence, nodded slightly, "Then, as you wish."

When he heard that she didn't want those women to enter the mansion, Dugu Cheng felt happy in his heart.

Shufeng patted her on the back, "Then you should prepare well and adjust your emotions. If you need anything, feel free to ask Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine will make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Mother."

The Shu Fei instructed him a few words, and then left the Prince's Mansion.

Feng Lingxi, seeing her mother leave, thought of the appointment she had made with Dr. Zhang. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I need to go out of the city for a while. Could you please cover for me"

"This is easy, let's leave from the back door in a bit."

Wind Ling responded and, with a plan made, the two disguised themselves and secretly left the palace. They announced to the outside world that their mother had passed away, overwhelmed by grief and unconscious. She was now resting in the mansion.

This way, if someone comes to visit, they can also be turned away.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng left the city and headed straight for Zhang's tomb. They hadn't waited even a stick of incense when a group of people arrived in carriages. After getting off, they rushed to Feng Lingxi. "Fourth Princess, I am Zhang Zizhun, son of Zhang Taishi. I came to escort Madam away."

Feng Lingxi responded with a cry, Zhang Zihun waved his hand, ordering people to dig open the tomb and lift Zhang Shi from the coffin and place her in the carriage.

"Young Master Zhang, my mother..."

Wind Lingxi watched them about to leave and hurriedly stopped them. Zhang Zijun glanced at Dugu City and took out a letter from his bosom, handing it to Wind Lingxi, "This is what my father asked me to deliver to the Fourth Royal Consort. If you have any questions, just read the letter. As for Madam, we are taking her away."

Feng Lingxi took the letter and looked at her mother's pale face, "Where are you taking my mother At least you can tell me that, right"

Zhang Zizhun bowed to her and said, "Fourth Royal Wife, please forgive me. I was ordered by my father to escort Madam away. As for the other matters, you should ask my father."

Here is your translated text:

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Wind Lingxi glanced at her mother, seeing the secret hidden on her mother's body. She could only ask Zhang Taiyi to find out.

"Master Zhang, I have one more request. After my mother has passed this crisis, would you be able to send word back to me letting her know that I am well"

Zhang Zihun nodded, glanced at the time, "Fourth Princess, it's getting late. I have to take my wife to meet up."

Take care.

Zhang Zijun led people away with Zhang Shi. Feng Lingxi watched the carriage drive far away before retracting her gaze.

Let's go back.

Feng Lingxi turned around, looking at Dugu Cheng standing beside her. Seeing him staring at her, she said faintly, "I'm fine, just a little unclear."

Holding the letter in her hand, Feng Lingxi's heart felt heavy. As long as her mother was fine, that was all that mattered. As for why she did this, Feng Lingxi believed her mother had her own reasons.

"Everyone's out, want to go for a walk up front There's a nice view over there, I'll take you to see it."

"Perhaps we should return home. I'm afraid the Crown Princess might come later."

When it comes to the Crown Princess, Dugu City's eyebrows furrow slightly, "That woman is really a worry, actually causing trouble for this king."

It was a rare opportunity to spend some time alone with Xi'er, yet she had to rush back. Dugu Cheng felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart.

He also wanted to prove that he could be like other men, to stay by the side of his beloved woman and make her happy.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, "She is the emperor's person, besides her, now Feng Linglong is also the emperor's person, we still don't relax, lest we find trouble for ourselves."

They are now the thorn in the queen's side, a pain in her flesh. If she gets hold of proof that their mother is still alive, things will be very difficult to handle.

Dugu Cheng helped her onto the carriage and asked, "How did the Empress take in Feng Linglong Could Princess Zhaoran agree to this"

Whether the Crown Princess would agree or not, I don't know. Anyway, the Empress definitely has wind of this.

Feng Linglong said that the Empress had pardoned her for her birthday, but she had inquired and learned that she was the only one who had been pardoned. If she hadn't guessed wrong, she was afraid it was because of her.

Therefore, your relationship with the Crown Princess cannot be strained. Who knows, she might even help you get ahead of Feng Linglong.

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "The Crown Princess was born into a noble family. In terms of wit and shrewdness, how can she compare to the refined Feng Linglong If it weren't for the status of the County Princess, I fear she wouldn't even be comfortable herself."

She didn't think the Crown Princess stood a chance against Feng Linglong. That day at General’s Mansion, Feng Linglong's performance was clearly much more astute than the one she had met after her illness recovered. She didn't know how much was hidden.

"Xi'er is so pessimistic about the Crown Princess. If she knew this, she would probably cry."

"Is Your Lordship feeling pity"

Dugu Cheng hugged her waist and leaned down to quickly kiss her face. Feng Lingxi stiffened, turned to look at him, and Dugu Cheng kissed her lips again, "It's just that Quan Dang is jealous."

"Dugu Cheng, do you believe I can kick you out of here with one foot"

He's really gone too far, even stealing a kiss from her.

"Trust, what Xier said, this king believes it all."

"You..."

Feng Lingxi's face flushed red, "No next time, or I really will kick you down."

This time, she'll just consider him a huge help, a gift of thanks for his kindness.

Dugu Cheng's smile deepened at the corner of his lips. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "This husband obeys."hen he was trying to save Qiuer, he often ground herbs himself. He had never heard of a doctor overusing medication before.In the face of Shangguan Huan's questioning, Li Wuyan's expression did not ch...
