.The Empress Dowager, unable to bear the headache inflicted by Feng Ling Xi's pestering, reluctantly agreed."Alright, alright, you've worn me down. Since you want to please the Empress Dowager so badl..."Moon, don't make a fuss. I won't be able to bring her back. It's better this way, she's gone. That way, she won't have to stay in the palace and who knows what might happen to you later."
Dugu Cheng's words made Shu Taifei unable to listen any longer. Looking at this completely unfamiliar son in front of her, she felt angry just listening to his words. Xi'er had been silent since he returned, not saying a word, only to be scolded so viciously. Such treatment couldn't help but chill Xi'er's heart.
But...
Before Huan Yue could say anything else, Shu Taifei truly couldn't bear it any longer.
“Since you love this woman so much, why don’t I just give you the Prince’s Manor to live in I’ll leave right now. You can keep Xier, and I won’t have you as my son.” The Empress Dowager finished speaking and turned to leave, but a figure stepped forward to block her way.
"Sister, even if you have to leave, it shouldn't be you. Just because of this woman who is putting on such a show and making her own home like this, it's not worth it."
Su Su walked over, hands clasped across her chest, and took a good look at the girl named Huanyue.
"Looking at her sickly appearance, she must be seriously ill. A woman like this wouldn't be able to give the prince's mansion heirs, and I wonder how long it will take for her to be driven out of the mansion. After all, having no children is a major concern."
Dugu Cheng looked at the woman before him, his eyes suddenly turning cold.
"When will it be the turn of the Four Prince's Residence for an outsider like you to speak Guards, throw her out!"
Du Gu Cheng rebuked, but no one dared to go forward and drive Su Su away. Who didn't know that Madam Su Su was the younger sister of Tai Fei Shu She had come all the way from the capital to visit Tai Fei Shu. Who dared to disrespect her would be disrespecting Tai Fei Shu herself.
"It seems the amnesia is quite severe, you don't even recognize me anymore."
Shutai Feifei let out a cold snort, "He doesn't even remember me, his own mother concubine. How could he remember you."
Susu looked at Huan Yue, “That’s true, the Fourth Prince only has this woman in his eyes now, naturally he doesn’t know about me.”
Du Gu Cheng's handsome face turned iron-blue as he listened to their chattering. His expression grew even darker.
"Why are you all just standing there, can't you hear me"
"Whoever dares to touch her, try it."
The Shutai Imperial Concubine rebuked harshly, and the guards who had just moved were scared stiff.
This Empress wants to see who dares touch even a single hair on her head!” Shu Taifei’s eyes locked onto Du Gu Cheng, “Whether you have amnesia or not, she is this Empress’s younger sister and your aunt. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, after you drove away Xi'er from the Fourth Prince’s manor, don’t even think about driving her away again.”
Dugu Cheng looked at Shu Taifei, his tone softened a few points.
"Mother, I don't mean it that way. Since she's my aunt, she should stay."
Turning to Su Su, Dugu City said, "Just now this king did not know your identity, and I hope you will forgive me."
Su Su glanced at Huan Yue, "Since you call me aunt, then I should say a few words. Since you divorced Xi'er to marry this woman, according to the rules, before the marriage is complete, she will be handed over to me and your mother concubine to personally instruct her. Besides, this body is sickly, we need to find a doctor to take a good look at her. If there are any problems with her health before she enters the door, we can also make plans for treatment early."
"The moon’s body has always been like this; she can't leave me. I will place her in my courtyard and let her live with me."
When Dugu City finished speaking, Empress Shu stared at this illusory moon.
"If you can't be parted from him, wouldn't that mean she's sharing a bed with you before she's even married"
With a ghastly complexion, Huan Yue hurriedly explained upon hearing what Shu Taifei had said.
"Concubine Shu, although Yue'er is a commoner girl, she has always known her place and wouldn't overstep boundaries before marriage. The Prince Wang merely worries about Yue'er's frail health and wants to stay by her side."
The Empress Dowager Shu glanced at Dugu City, “Since she is so frail, how could you bear to have her give birth to children for you Don't you know, when I gave birth to you, I almost died. Her body, I fear, might not even be able to carry a child.”
Du Gucheng's face grew even darker.
"This king does not need her to give birth to children for him, he only needs her company."
"Misbehaving!"
"The Empress Dowager rebuked her in a harsh voice, 'What use is it to have her enter the palace if she doesn't give birth to children You know that filial piety has three great unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the greatest. Why is this not the case for her' "
Dugu Cheng looked at his mother, clenching his fist.
Huan Yue's face was also unusually pale, her eyes red-rimmed, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
That pitiful look made people feel sorry for him, but even so, Shu Taifei remained utterly unmoved.
This woman puts on a delicate and weak facade, she's quite the actress.
"Mother, Moon saved my life. This grace is enough to surpass that of giving birth and raising me."
"Then, I ask you, what promise did you make to Ai'er back then How can you now, with a touch of amnesia, simply discard it all..."
"Mother, please do not bring up the matter of that abandoned woman and my son again."
"Someone is here."
Shu Taifei's face darkened, "Go and have my guest quarters cleaned. If Huan Yue wants to marry into the Fourth Prince's Manor, she must be personally trained by me until I am satisfied before she can enter."
"Imperial Mother," Du Gucheng urged, but Shu Taifei merely gave him a cold glance. Huan Yue on the side also pulled at Du Gucheng, signaling for him to stop pleading for her.
"This matter, this empress has already decided. Since she is to marry into the Prince's Manor, she should know the rules and etiquette of the manor. During this time, this empress will have her nanny teach her. You are busy with military affairs, so there is no need to come and pay respects to this empress."
After Shu Taifei finished speaking, she did not forget to remind, "Before the wedding, you must not meet."
After she finished speaking, she had someone bring the Phantom Moon to her courtyard and ordered them that without her permission, no one, including Dugu City, was allowed to step into her courtyard even half a step. This completely separated the woman from Dugu City.
Feng Lingxi was driven out of the palace, a divorce decree was sent to her, disregarding her status as a noble concubine. After losing her memory and regaining it, she realized the severity of the situation. This divorce decree, once sent, was incredibly difficult to retract.
Feng Lingxi's news of being divorced soon spread. At the Yao clan's main residence, Li Wuyan brought her a confinement medicine and watched as she sat there lost in thought. He walked up to her and sat down in front of her.
"Still sad about him"
Feng Lingxi smiled and shook her head. "No, I just feel like things are happening a bit too suddenly."
In the blink of an eye, she was dismissed.
The man she thought she could rely on for her whole life, he's really ruthless.
Her decisive and swift approach, she only realized today, truly lived up to the rumors of the legendary Fourth Prince. He really had no regard for strangers; not a shred of sentimentality towards an unfamiliar woman.
"Actually, you needn't feel sad. It's normal for someone with amnesia to change like this. If he wasn't like this, it would be abnormal."
Feng Lingxi took the decoction for calming a restless fetus and drank it down, her beautiful eyes drooping. "I understand what you said," she murmured softly. "It's just...some things are a bit sad."
Being human, she couldn't be without feelings. What more could be said about a man who once professed his love for her, suddenly transforming into someone cold and heartless, uttering such cruel words To say she wasn't hurt was a lie."This is where Wan'er went wrong. There are no stupid people in the world, only foolish masters. If Wan'er were truly intelligent, she should have learned to be clever like Yue'er. That's the most imp...
