Duke's Mansion, this King won't blame you."Feng Lingxi hurriedly pushed him away, coldly saying, "When you speak to me, there's no need to get so close.""Well, are you afraid of what I might do to you...Du Gucheng was being scolded, but when he saw Feng Lingxi questioning him, his eyes were filled with tears. Du Gucheng reached out to wipe them away, but Feng Lingxi brushed him off.

“Don’t touch me, Dugu City. This is what you promised me, that there would be no secrets between us. But you didn't tell me anything, not even about this huge matter. You kept it from me! Now you want to explain to me so I can accept your apology”

Wind Lingxi took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I know you won't forgive me, and I wouldn't dare expect you to."

獨孤城看著風淩兮眸中隱忍著不讓掉下來的眼淚，心疼的厲害。

"For these five years, the only thing this king has wished for is that you would still be in this world, not returning to your own. This king does not want you to leave."

“But you still pushed me away from you. I trusted you so much, for you, I endured so much, I even made myself unlike myself. But how did you treat me” Feng Lingxi sniffed, her eyes brimming with tears that kept falling down her cheeks.

"Sorry."

Dugu Cheng lowered his head, watching Xi'er cry. His heart ached, but besides apologizing, he really didn't know what else to say.

"Sorry" Feng Lingxi sneered, "Really laughable three words. Does sorry even work"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, tears falling constantly. His raised hand slipped down helplessly again. What right did he have to wipe the tears from Xi'er's eyes These tears were all because of him. Xi'er would only cry because of him, and over these five years, how many tears had Xi'er shed

Duguxing's heart was just as heavy as Fenglingxi's, but he had no right to speak.

"Do whatever you wish to punish me, I will not retaliate."

"We're already divorced, now you're just my patient. To cure your illness, you have to pay me. It's a transaction, clean and simple."

Feng Lingxi tried her best not to let her emotions sway him. Her body really couldn't take any more stimulation right now, but she found it very difficult to control herself. Du Gu Cheng’s words just now had thoroughly enraged her; she had lost control.

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Alright, when you've healed this King, you can have anything you want."

"You remember you promised me."

Dugu Cheng responded, looking at Feng Ling Xi's face which had improved considerably, and was no longer crying. He then let out a sigh of relief.

Having it all out, Xi'er's heart should feel a little better. Slowly, he will explain the ins and outs of the past five years, allowing Xi'er to know what happened five years ago. Dugong Cheng also knows, possibly Lu Nian has already said so, but Xi'er's heart hasn't accepted it.

After all, this is all his fault for breaking his promise and not being as transparent as he initially agreed to be.

"Let's eat."

Feng Lingxi parted her eyes and got up, walking to the side. "Take care of your body and cooperate with my treatment, otherwise, even a god wouldn't be able to save you."

"Good."

Dugu Cheng readily agreed. He ate the already cold meal in silence, not daring to speak. He was content just being able to spend this much time with Xi'er.

After Dugucheng finished eating, Feng Lingxi tidied up the bowls and chopsticks and took them out. She didn't come in but went to sleep with the children instead.

"My Lord, you should rest early. The Princess Consort will not be coming in."

Ye Xi softly advised, "The sound of the Princess and Prince's argument this afternoon was so loud that everyone outside could hear it. Everyone has gone to sleep to avoid embarrassing the Princess and Prince."

"This king isn't tired yet." Dugu City's eyes looked at the door, still unwilling to give up. Xi'er would definitely come back to see him.

This is a test sentence.

"Your Highness, get some rest. We still have a long journey tomorrow."

Ye Xi knew he had spoken out of turn, but if the prince didn't sleep, he couldn't rest either. Besides, he was ordered to take care of the prince and help him fall asleep. If he didn't sleep, he really wouldn't be able to complete his duty.

"Did something happen today"

"Uh huh."

"Ye Xi truthfully said, 'Everyone heard the argument between the King and the Queen. In order to avoid embarrassment for the King and Queen, everyone went to bed early. The Queen also put the County Princess and the Young Master to sleep.'

"

Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Xi, "They all heard it"

Ye Xi responded with a nod, her gaze falling to the floor as she watched Wang Ye's perfectly unfazed expression.

"Very well, then this rumour about me fearing the inside will be even more true. Now, Tao Su can't possibly vie for Xi'er with me."

Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly, watching the King lie down. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes to sleep.

Self Wind Ling responded to Du Gu Cheng's request to see a doctor, so Du Gu Cheng and Self Wind Ling rode in the same carriage together with three children. The carriage was packed full of people, and the other miscellaneous people were also well-behaved and stayed where they should be.

In the carriage, Feng Lingxi spent almost all her time with her eyes closed. Siqi and Dugu Cheng, however, were having a blast, chattering non-stop. Feng Siyu watched from the sidelines, while Wan'er remained silent.

Perhaps because Dugu City and Feng Lingxi were traveling together, there were no assassination attempts along the way. The journey was smooth sailing, except for treating Dugu City's illness with medicine. It was quite leisurely.

Upon arriving in the capital, Dugu City's body basically stopped coughing. His complexion also improved significantly, becoming much rosier. Even his depression lessened. Although he was still white-haired, his complexion had noticeably improved by more than one level, and he looked much more energetic.

"Xi'er, will you come back to the General's Mansion with me or..."

Of course, we go to the General's Mansion.

Lu Nian answered first, winking at Feng Lingxi, "Right"

Feng Lingxi responded, ignoring Dugu Cheng's expression of wanting to speak but stopping. Anyway, it was impossible for him to return to Chen Wangfu with her.

"Then we shall bid farewell to Crown Prince Chen for now."

Feng Aotian's face was full of spring breeze, and Feng Lingxi was willing to go back with him. He was overjoyed inside, beyond description.

"Your body has almost recovered, just keep taking the medicine on time and there won't be any major problems."

"If my body feels unwell, may I visit you at the Chen Wangfu"

Dugu Cheng spoke, his time was running out. Along the way, Xi'er had been busy treating her illness and hadn't really had deep interactions with him, leaving him unable to explain things clearly to her.

Now that he was back, he knew clearly that once she had finished her business, he would leave immediately.

"I can cure you if you're sick, but please, Prince Chen, don't disturb my life."

Of course.

Du Gu Cheng awkwardly replied, looking at Wan'er, "Then let's go back."

"I won't go back with you. My mother has returned, so of course I have to stay with her. I won't be going back to the palace either. Just tell the Empress Dowager that I am unwell."

Anyway, this granddaughter of hers is insignificant to the Empress Dowager; it doesn't matter if she comes or not.

The conflict between Wan'er and the Empress Dowager began from childhood. The Empress Dowager used to love Wan'er very much, but after suffering from amnesia, she no longer had the same affection for her. Even after Feng Lingxi's disappearance, things didn't improve; she criticized Wan'er's personality for following Feng Lingxi.ion and see what's going on.""Otherwise, I'll go with you"Feng Lingxi was worried. It was too dangerous for Du Gucheng to go there now.He had just killed someone and said those words. If they truly re...
