d the Third Princess have such a winter illness"When the Third Princess saw Feng Ling, she asked about it, and said with a smile, "It's all in the past, there's nothing to say about it."Feng Lingxi sa..."Then next time you go on a campaign, take me with you. I'll be your army doctor."

Feng Lingxi's words hung in the air, leaving Dugu Cheng speechless. Feng Lingxi quickly explained, "I mean, I can make pills and store them."

"Xi'er, you wouldn't want to follow this King into battle. Take this chance to run away"

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly. She said these things to him so seriously, was that what he thought of her

Dugu Cheng also didn't expect that after he said this, Xi'er would have such an expression. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"No."

Dugu City scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "This king is just not used to Xier being so good to this king."

Wind Ling Xi's words reached her lips, but she swallowed them back. She didn't know what to say.

She was good to him, but he was afraid.

"The warlord is a god of war, this isn't like the attitude a god of war should have."

Dugu City gripped her hand, his eyes fixed on her, his gaze sincere, "I'm not afraid of war, Your Highness, but I fear that you don't understand my heart."

Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, her voice slightly cold as she said, "Who let you tease me back then It was you who made me distrust you first, no wonder I am like this."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all this king's fault. Now that Xi'er knows, she won't be thinking about divorcing this king anymore, right"

Feng Lingxi looked at his cautious gaze, her heart warmed. She met his eyes and said, "Wangye, if I truly care for you, please don't deceive me. If I find out that you have lied to me, I will not forgive you."

Dugu Cheng raised his hand and swore to the heavens, “I, Dugu Cheng, swear to heaven that my heart belongs solely to Xi'er. If I ever deceive her, may I never be forgiven by her for the rest of my life, and may I lose everything, living a life of poverty.”

Feng Ling quickly reached out to cover his lips, "There's no need to make such a poisonous oath. You just have to promise not to deceive me."

Dugu City shook his head, “This king won’t.”

Feng Lingxi looked at him and gave him a smile, "Then I will also treat you sincerely."

When Dugu City heard her words, he was so moved that he held her in his arms, speechless.

He finally waited for her to open up, finally waiting for her to give him her heart.

"My Lord, the Crown Princess requests an audience."

Ye Xi shouted at the door, Feng Lingxi hurriedly pushed him open, "Let's go see what the Crown Princess wants from us first."

Dugu City reluctantly let go of her, "Otherwise, come with this king to see her."

He didn't want Xier to misunderstand him because of the Crown Princess. He and the Crown Princess were innocent, and he didn't want to be misunderstood.

Feng Lingxi looked at the pills on the table, "It's fine."

In two more days it will be the Empress's birthday, and the Crown Princess came to visit. She's probably here because of the Empress's birthday.

Princess Zhao'ran waited in the front hall for a while. Seeing that Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi appeared together, she was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down.

"I have seen the Crown Princess."

"What brings the Crown Princess to this humble king"

Dugu Cheng's expression was cold and stern, his eyes ignoring the Crown Princess as if she were invisible. He had no desire to have any ambiguous interactions with her.

"The day after tomorrow is Mother's birthday. I was sent here to ask the Fourth Princess, whether she has recovered and could attend Mother's birthday."

Du Gucheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, saw her nod, and said lightly, "Xier is now fine. Since it's the Empress's birthday, she will naturally go. Tell the Empress Dowager from the Crown Princess that this king will bring Xier to the banquet."

The Crown Princess stood up, “Then this palace will not disturb you.”

"Your Highness, allow me to escort you."

Feng Lingxi got up and followed. Seeing Feng Lingxi's face as usual, the Crown Princess spoke in a gentle voice, "This palace has also heard about your mother's affairs. You should grieve with composure, there is still a long way to go ahead."

"Thank you, Princess Consort, for your concern. This servant is fine."

Seeing her so restrained, the Crown Princess took her hand and, changing her attitude from just moments ago, led her to a gazebo nearby and sat down.

Feng Ling Xi, I have something to tell you.

The Crown Princess dismissed the maidservants around her and said to Feng Lingxi, “You don’t know, these days making me act like the Crown Princess has been exhausting. I've really been suffocated these days. Don’t call me Crown Princess, just call me Zhao Ran.”

"I dare not."

Zhao Ran grabbed her hand, angrily questioning, "What are you afraid of I assure you that I will not blame you."

"As a consort, I am but lowly. How dare I call the Crown Princess by her given name"

She glared at him, "There aren't that many rules. These days, with what happened to your family, no one even bothered to comfort me. I'm just realizing how difficult life in the palace really is."

Once you enter the palace, it's like diving into a vast ocean.

Zhao Ran County Princess let out a soft sigh, "If there was a chance to hang myself, I truly wouldn't want to be the Crown Princess."

"Your Highness, did you encounter something troublesome"

Zhaoran looked at her and asked, not wanting to hide it from her.

"It's all because of that older sister of yours, she's amazing! The Crown Prince is completely smitten with her. She can be both adorable and seductive, even the Empress is full of praise for her now. I'm afraid this position as Crown Princess won't last long."

"How is that possible As the daughter of the Duke, you've always been destined to be Empress."

"Only you would be so naive."

Zhao Ran propped her chin up, “Do you really think that the position of Crown Princess was given to me because I’m going to be Empress You don’t even know how capable your eldest sister is. She’s very cunning. If you two aren’t on good terms, sooner or later she’ll make things difficult for you.”

Although she already knew, Feng Lingxi still wasn't willing to say it in front of her.

"Take care of yourself. On your mother's birthday, she'll definitely make a scene and cause you trouble. Be careful, that's all I can do to help."

"Why would the Crown Princess help me like this"

Feng Lingxi stopped her, "With the capabilities of Prince Yi's Mansion, even if Feng Ce Fei is capable, the Empress wouldn't allow her, a concubine, to become the Crown Princess."

"Didn't your father come to look for you, and have her registered under your mother's name That way, she would be a legitimate daughter."

Feng Lingxi frowned, so Feng Linglong found her to talk about this because she wanted the position of Crown Princess.

"If you agree to her, then she will become your elder sister. Naturally, she will jump up and become the direct eldest daughter of the General's Mansion."

"Rest assured, Your Highness, my mother only has one daughter, and that is me. There will be no other daughters."

Whether it was for Princess Zhaoran or herself, she would absolutely not agree to be registered under her mother's name as the eldest daughter.

Zhaoran's face lit up with joy, she grasped Feng Lingxi's hand excitedly and said, "I knew you wouldn't agree! Feng Linglong used such a seductive method. Even if she became the Crown Princess, she wouldn't let you go. You absolutely can't agree to her, otherwise your status as the legitimate daughter will be suppressed, and your own life will be miserable."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I understand."

Zhao Ran stood up, Feng Ling Xi's words put her in a good mood.

Then I'll head back to the palace. With your words, I am truly delighted. From now on, you belong to me. If anything happens, feel free to come to me. I won't allow Feng Linglong to bully you.upled with the plague that appeared in the Xia Dynasty, Feng Yuxi coming out of the Xia Dynasty didn't rule out the possibility that surrounding towns also had the plague.This Princess Qingfeng, she h...
