hen Yun, her flustered expression made the coldness in Wind Lingxi's eyes even deeper."Noble Consort Yu is quite cunning, she can even do such a thing as using someone else to kill."Wind and Rain, and..."Xier, what nonsense are you talking about I'm just thinking that if we take this concubine into the family, everything she does will be under her scrutiny. And for this marriage to be approved, there are many things we have to do, even if it's just pretending."

"Are you saying that on your wedding night, you won't be in control of yourself"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes filled with bitterness and said lightly, "This is simple. It's just a wedding night, finding someone to replace her would be fine. It's just that in daily interactions, there will inevitably be some contact."

"What's this If you don't act properly, how can you get the results you want."

Du Gu Cheng nodded, Xi Er understood him, which was just perfect.

He played along, and since Lady Cen insisted on giving it to someone else, he accepted it.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes, full of smiles, his gaze filled with helplessness.

"Xier, this king is bound by duty. You still smile"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I'm just wondering what Empress Cen was thinking. On one hand, she wants you and I to get along, maintaining the cooperation between the Yao clan and the Great Yuan dynasty. But on the other hand, she forcibly gave you a concubine. Doesn't she understand that it's impossible to have both fish and bear paws"

Perhaps she thought she could have both fish and bear's paw.

Feng Lingxi shook her head, wanting only to say, "Foolish."

In this world, there's no such thing as a free lunch. For every gain, there must be a loss.

"By the way, there's something else strange. On my way back today, I saved a young woman. She said she was from Liangzhou, and someone paid ten thousand taels of silver to have her come here to find you. Would you like to meet her"

"Would you come and see me in Liangzhou"

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the confusion in Dugu Cheng's eyes, "It wasn't sent by Dugu Yu. I questioned her, and she initially claimed it was Dugu Yu, but then admitted that it wasn't. She simply didn't know who the other party was."

"This king really has to go meet her."

Feng Lingxi asked Xiao Li to bring Ye Shuang over. When she saw Dugu City, Ye Shuang didn't react.

"You are Ye Frost"

Looking at Dugu City, Ye Shuang's eyes were full of confusion.

"Aren't you eager to meet the Four Kings He is."

"Fourth King" Ye Shuang looked at Dugu City and suddenly knelt down. Her sudden action made Feng Lingxi and Dugu City frown, wondering what she was doing

"Please, save my lord."

Ye Shuang's eyes instantly turned red, Feng Lingxi frowned, "Your lord Dugu Yu"

Only then did Ye Shuang take out that jade pendant and hand it to Dugu Cheng, "My lord said, this jade pendant should be given to the Fourth Prince. You will surely recognize it."

Dugu Cheng looked at the jade pendant, his eyes narrowed slightly. Feng Lingxi was puzzled, wasn't this just an ordinary jade pendant Why did Dugu Cheng's eyes look so strange

Could it be she misunderstood Is this jade pendant really from Dugou Yu

"He made you come"

Ye Xiang nodded, looking at Dugu City, “The king said that he had never thought of betraying the Fourth King. He was just working hard to do what the former emperor had instructed him to do. I hope the Fourth King will go and save him.”

"After the chaos in the palace, Your Majesty didn't execute him on the spot, which is already a stroke of good fortune. How can I possibly save him"

Dugu City's tone was flat, which could be considered tacit acceptance of Ye Shuang's words.

"This is all false, the prince isn't like that. He wouldn't do such a thing. Someone must be deliberately framing him."

Ye Shuang's eyes were red with tears, and her wronged tears fell silently. She was truly heartbroken.

Whether it's true or not, once caught, this is the truth. Who in the world could clear this kind of accusation

"Originally, wasn't the Fourth Royal Wife wrongly accused of poisoning the former emperor Couldn't she have cleared her name Why can't the Young Master do the same"

Feng Lingxi heard this and inexplicably found it amusing.

“It seems you truly don’t know the situation. Back then, the reason I was able to clear my name was because the Empress spoke up and cleared me. And now, you know who is behind this, you know who framed your Lord Wang”

"I…"

Ye Shuang looked at Feng Lingxi, biting her lip, tears falling even harder.

"It is the Empress Dowager."

"As you know, I'm the Empress Dowager. You should understand that when a ruler wants his subject to die, the subject has no choice but to obey."

Ye Frost slumped to the ground, her entire being drained of energy, crying so helplessly.

"How can the prince say that they are all your brothers Does the prince truly intend to stand idly by as they die"

Listening to Ye Shuang's accusations, Du Gu Cheng didn't want to answer her.

This is all obvious. The Empress Dowager wants Du Gu Yu dead, can he possibly snatch someone from under her nose

Furthermore, Dugu Yu's ambition was boundless. If he had stayed in Liangzhou peacefully back then, how could he have ended up like this Empress Cen wanted to get rid of him, so who could blame her

"Pack your things and go home."

Dugu City looked at Ye Shuang, "Don't meddle in things you shouldn't."

Yèshuāng got up and stumbled away from the county office. Fēng Língxī watched her leave and asked Dúl Gūchéng, "Do you really think what Yèshuāng said is true"

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, that's what I have to say."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "This matter can indeed only be handled this way."

If it's true, then I can only say that Dugu Yu is too useless. Such a smart person was calculated so quickly. I thought, at least he could hold on until after Empress Cen and Dugu Xiu were gone.

Feng Ling Xi's words left Du Gu Cheng with a helpless look on his face.

"One can only say that Dugu Su is too ruthless, his wife, the Duchess of Su, is not a simple person."

"Feng Yu Xi this lifetime is really going all out, can do anything."

What kind of person is this Dugu Xiu To be with him, Feng Yu Xi must have immense determination to endure such hardships. This also makes Feng Ling Xi increasingly curious. How did Dugu Su make Feng Yu Xi so devoted to him

This innocent body, thrown away just like that.

"I'll have someone keep an eye on Ye Shao, at least to confirm if she truly left Linxi County."

To prevent her from making a comeback, although I don't know if this Ye Shao is really Dugu Yu's sister, at least we have to ensure she doesn't pose a threat.

"I will arrange for you to take a concubine these days. Stay in the mansion peacefully for a few days, after all, some things you still have to do yourself."

When it came to the concubines, Dugu City's handsome face fell. "This king will take good care of this matter," he said.

"Then I'll get to work."

Looking at Xi'er's departing figure, Dugu City frowned. Why was Xi'er so excited

He took a concubine, and her eyes did shine.

Dugu City didn't know that Feng Lingxi was so excited because the dowry of this Luo Mansion was incredibly rich. This concubine's dowry was so generous that it made Feng Lingxi couldn't help but frown. It wasn't inferior to her own dowry when she married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Luo Zhe was truly not an ordinary wealthy person.

The news of Dugu Cheng marrying a concubine spread throughout Linxi County, and all the surrounding tribes and small countries knew about it. However, no one came to congratulate him. Everyone was unhappy with Feng Lingxi, and even some bold individuals went to the county government to propose marriage to Feng Lingxi. After all, everyone knew the relationship between Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng. Perhaps Feng Lingxi would agree out of spite.des Yao Zhi and Yao Chu. The eight elders, led by Yao Yi, had been targeted by Yao Zhi ever since Yao Chu's accident. Yao Zhi hated Yao Yi and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him.Yao Yi i...
