If you want to take it back, this king will give it to you.""It was Xiao Li who made me wear this. She said, Purple Star staying by my side might save my life, and she wouldn't stop nagging me until I..."Friend"

Feng Ling Xi delicately savored the two characters, a smile involuntarily curling her lips as she softly said, "Being friends is pretty good too. I made a profit."

Dugu Cheng looked at her wry smile, not knowing how to comfort her. He handed her the roasted chicken leg. Feng Lingxi ate it as the bonfire crackled. In the late-night courtyard, the atmosphere between the two was quite peculiar.

"Are you tired"

Half an hour later, Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "Get some rest early, don't stay up late."

Feng Lingxi nodded, stood up, and after eating, stayed with him for half an hour, feeling quite good.

"Thank you for tonight."

"What do you want to eat next time, tell me."

獨孤城開口，遲疑了一會，“I'll try my best to satisfy you.”

Feng Lingxi looked at him, her eyes were a little surprised. This sounded a bit ambiguous.

"Friends should be like that," Dugu City explained again, as if he had seen through something.

"I want to eat fish soup, fresh wild pond fish soup, I want to eat lychees, I want to eat sticky rice dumplings, I want to eat..."

Feng Ling Xi counted carefully, while Dugu Cheng wrote down each word of "Li Zhi" without missing a single one. Although it was difficult to find Li Zhi, he would make every effort to help her find it.

"Remember."

Feng Lingxi looked at him and suddenly smiled. Her mood improved considerably because of his three words.

"Don't you think it's really hard to be my friend I'm such a difficult pregnant woman to please."

Dugu City looked up, the black eyes beneath his mask held an unfathomable meaning.

"My friend, so it is."

When Dugu City said this, his voice was a little choked. Looking at Xi'er like this, he couldn't accompany her, and he hurt her so deeply. If the status of the owner of Tianxiang Building could make up for her, he would consider it no matter how difficult it was.

After all, he didn't know how long such days could last. Once she left the capital city, he wouldn't even have a chance to buy her food.

The helplessness of Dugu City, only he knows. What he wants to give Feng Lingxi is far more than these.

Wind Ling was amused by his words.

"Alright, since you're being so generous, I won't be polite. Next time, I'll just tell you what I want to eat. If lychees are hard to find, forget about it. Just make me something else."

Feng Lingxi got up, yawned, and said, "It's late. I'm going to bed."

獨孤城應了一聲，看著風淩兮離開的背影，離開了院子裡。

"My Lord, do you think the master of this Tian Xiang Lou truly has feelings for you Otherwise, why would he come to see you every few days and treat you so well This servant observes that he seems to be more than just a friend."

Xiao Li saw the Princess return, and woke up not seeing her. She went out and saw the Princess chatting with the owner of Tianxiang Lou by a bonfire. She silently kept watch.

"Friend."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, “Don’t overthink it, he owes me something, perhaps.”

"What do you owe"

Little Li looked at the princess curiously. Ever since she found out that the owner of Tianxiang Building was the prince, Little Li felt very uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

This day, when looking at the identity of the head of Xianglou, the King did not seem to have lost his memory. But why would he deceive the Princess and say such hurtful words that would wound her It made her feel distressed. Even Night Xi urged her not to tell the Princess about this matter. Now seeing the Princess, she felt guilty towards her.

Everyone knows the poster's identity, only the princess doesn't.

"I don't know why, it just feels like when he talks to me, it's as if he owes me something. Maybe it's pregnancy hormones making me overthink."

Xiao Li really wants to tell the princess that it's not her imagination, the King is truly in debt to her.

The princess just didn't know his identity, so she could only bear it.

"It's late, you should sleep too. Don't stay up watching over me."

Feng Lingxi went back to rest, Xiaoli served the princess to sleep, and then retreated.

Feng Lingxi's news of never entering the palace spread, Empress Cen's dissatisfaction with Feng Lingxi reached its peak. All those she sent out had gone without return. Luo Li's methods, she dared to be angry but not speak out, letting the rumors in the Jianghu about Yanluo Luo Li become increasingly true.

獨孤修 lived every day in torment. The beauties in the palace were alluring but forbidden, and after more than a month without a woman, 獨孤修 was on edge. The worms within him stirred restlessly, fueled by 風淩兮's poison. His body felt like it was constantly at war with itself.

Longing to shout but unable to speak humanely.

Du Gu Cheng was still forced to go to the Yao Clan's main residence to see Feng Ling Xi every day, but he was turned away every time. This letter of divorce made Cen Taizi understand the Yao Clan's strength. She was afraid, but she wanted it even more.

Since that day when Huan Yue was taken to Shu Taifei's courtyard, she has not been allowed to return to Dugu City's courtyard. Now everyone in the court is advising Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi to reconcile. As for Huan Yue, who interfered, they are very disapproving and she has attracted a lot of criticism.

Dugu Cheng went out early and returned late every day. After returning home, he would go to Shutai's courtyard to see Huanyue, but every time he took a glance from afar, he was driven out of the courtyard. The atmosphere at Sifang王府 was also not harmonious.

As for today, Dugu Cheng had just arrived at Shu Taifei's courtyard and saw Huan Yue learning etiquette rules. Before Huan Yue could speak, he saw Su Su come out, walk in front of Dugu Cheng, and reach out to stop him.

"Acheng, your mother concubine said you can't visit."

Dugu City's eyes gazed at Huanyue, his eyes filled with longing. Huanyue couldn't help it, tears streamed down her face.

"My Lord."

"Moon..."

"Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet"

When Shu Tai Fei heard Huan Yue's crying, she scolded her sharply. Huan Yue was frightened and drew back her tears, biting her lip, with tears streaming down her face. That wronged expression made even Du Gu Cheng feel sorry for her.

"Mother Empress, Yue'er and this king haven't seen each other in days, could it be..."

"When will you fix this habit of crying all the time It's unbearable, constantly weeping like that. Because of her, look at what you've become! Not only are you scolded in the palace, but you even come to me for reprimands."

When Empress Shu's temper flared, she unleashed a torrent of insults. Dugu City looked at Huan Yue, still trying to defend himself.

"This matter has nothing to do with the moon, Mother Empress. Please don't associate it with her."

"How is this unrelated You brought her back, and that's how things turned out now. She doesn't know how to be considerate of you; she just cries all day long, as if we were bullying her. Back when Xier married into our family, when did she ever make me unhappy"

The Empress Dowager scolded angrily, seeing Huan Yue's pitiful expression, she was speechless with anger.

"I don't know what you see in her."

"Mother, I forbid you from speaking of Yue'er like that."

Huan Yue was just looking at Dugu City, tears falling even more fiercely.

"My Lord, the Imperial Noble Consort is right. It's all Moon's fault. If it weren't for Moon, things wouldn't have become like this today. Moon truly apologizes to you."

>nce, spoke, "The Fifth Elder makes a good point. This child is still young and shouldn't be treated too harshly, Ali. Take her down to rest. The other elders and I have matters to discuss."Luo Li walk...
