ou. Whether it's Du Gu Xiu, Du Gu Yan, Cen Tianhou, or even those from other countries who are watching us, they will all try to harm me in every way possible.""Du Gu Cheng, stop talking."Feng Ling Xi..."You two are really something."

Lu Nian grabbed Feng Ling Xi's hand, "Sobbing won't do anything. Shouldn't you be solving the problem This isn't your style."

"Why didn't you tell me these things when you saw me You're only saying them now. Do you know how heartbroken I am"

Feng Lingxi couldn't control herself, tears streaming down her face. Lu Nian hurriedly soothed her, "Don't cry, if you had been able to tell me this back then, you would have known already."

"I…"

Feng Lingxi couldn't hold it in any longer, tears streaming down her face. She was filled with regret, wishing she could slap herself. How could she be so stubborn, pushing both herself and Dugu City to this point Was this what she called love

"If only I had known better back then, wouldn't I be in this mess Now you regret it, don't you"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian with tears streaming down her face, crying even harder. Lu Nian hurriedly hugged her, soothingly saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's all in the past anyway. The most important thing now is to solve everything and not make any foolish mistakes."

Feng Lingxi leaned on Lu Nian's shoulder, her mind filled with all the things she had experienced with Dugu Cheng. As they grew to know each other, she realized that she didn't truly love him enough. Though she had promised to never leave his side, she hadn't fully trusted him.

Her self-righteous love is simply a laughable excuse; she's too selfish.

"Alright, Dugu City didn't blame you, so don't cry anymore."

"I know he won't blame me, but I really hate myself. I don't even understand what love is. I'm too selfish." Feng Lingxi choked out, her heart aching, "I'm such a joke."

She's not a modern person at all. She has never been in love and doesn't understand what true love is, let alone the most basic concept of trust. She really isn't worthy.

I'm sorry, Dugu City!

Feng Lingxi's tears fell even more violently, and Lu Nian's clothes were soaked with her tears.

The carriage arrived at the Lu residence, and as soon as it stopped, the curtain was lifted. Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi leaning on Lu Nian's shoulder crying, and he rushed forward anxiously, "What happened Was she made difficult by the Empress Dowager"

Feng Lingxi heard Dugu City's voice and hurriedly wiped away her tears. Looking at Dugu City's handsome face, pale as paper because of his nervousness, she felt deeply guilty and remorseful.

"No...there isn't."

Feng Ling Xi sniffed and her cries trembled slightly. Du Gu Cheng's eyes darkened, "This king will go find the Empress Dowager."

"Dugu City!"

Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and hurriedly got off the carriage. "It's not the Empress Dowager," she said.

Dugu Cheng turned back in surprise, looking at Feng Lingxi clutching his arm. For a moment, he was a little confused, "What's wrong with Xi'er"

"Then why are you crying"

"I..."

Wind Lingxi looked at Dugu City's nervous eyes and sniffed, "When I just came back, sand got into my eyes. I asked Lu Nian to blow them for me, but it hurt."

Dugu Cheng certainly didn't believe her words, but he didn't press her for an explanation.

"So that's how it is, the Empress didn't make things difficult for you, that's good. You are now a princess of Xigu Kingdom, she shouldn't be able to do anything to you."

Dugu Cheng spoke to himself, as if telling himself, reassuring himself.

"How are you feeling Why is your face still so pale Did you take the medicine"

Feng Lingxi's concern left Dugu City somewhat surprised. He hurriedly nodded.

"All done."

"Didn't the Empress Dowager really make things difficult for you"

Dugu Cheng asked cautiously, watching Feng Lingxi still holding his hand. His heart was flustered, and his eyes swept over Lu Nian. Seeing him wink at him, Dugu Cheng became even more nervous. What on earth was going on

Why is Xi'er acting so strange

"Go on in and say it."

Feng Ling Xi grabbed Dugu Cheng's wrist, pulling him into the Lu Mansion. Ye Xi on the side was dumbfounded.

"Land...Young Master Lu, am I seeing things"

The Queen actually grabbed the King's hand and went in. How long had it been since they saw this scene

Could it be that the Empress Dowager is making things difficult for the Princess, so the Princess wants to settle accounts with the Prince She's afraid others will see, so she's planning to go in and beat him up

No, that's impossible. The princess isn't like that.

"No need to get excited, it's real."

Lu Nian looked at Ye Xi's reaction and smiled, "Your wife is still your wife."

Ye Xi watched Lu Nian go in and hurriedly chased after him, asking, "Young Master Lu, make it clear, what's wrong with the princess Won't she bully our king The king is like this, and the princess..."

"Don't worry, Xi'er isn't that kind of person."

Lu Nian patted Ye Xi's shoulder, "Just follow me."

Night Xi looked at Lu Nian's smile and didn't ask any further, she could only follow.

Feng Lingxi dragged Dugu City into the mansion. As people in the mansion watched Feng Lingxi's actions, one by one their eyes widened, curiously watching them, each with a nervous expression and sympathetic gaze.

"Xier, are you hungry"

Du Gu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi walk into the mansion, holding his hand. He didn't say a word all the way until they reached her courtyard. His grip on her hand remained at its usual strength, as if it was just an ordinary thing to hold someone's wrist. She probably wasn't angry.

"I'm not hungry, are you hungry Let me get you some food."

Feng Lingxi hastily ordered the maidservant attending to her to prepare a meal. Du Gucheng hurriedly explained, "I'm not hungry, I just feel something is off about you today."

"Didn't you just ask me what the Empress had summoned me for Let's sit down and talk."

Feng Ling Xi pulled Dugu Cheng down to sit, poured him tea, and looked at Feng Ling Xi's movements. Dugu Cheng was truly nervous, not knowing how long he hadn't seen Xi Er treat him like this. If it were before, it would be perfectly normal, but now, his heart was in a panic.

Dugu Cheng took the tea that Feng Lingxi handed him, but his heart was still uneasy.

"Dugu City, has the Empress changed these past years"

Dugu Cheng was slightly stunned, looking at Feng Ling Xi's gaze fixed on him, and nodded.

"She gave me an imperial edict, asking me to entrust our child to you for raising."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, “She said that Wan'er I can take away, but she wants me to give Siyu and Siqi to you to raise.”

Du Gu Cheng's face changed drastically, he hurriedly said, "No, you can't agree to her. This king will not keep the child by his side."

"Why" Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, her eyes noticeably colder. "Are you doubting that this child isn't yours" Although she knew Dugu Cheng had never thought that way, she still wanted to ask.

Du Gucheng shook his head and explained, "Siyu's features clearly show that he is my son. However, I cannot take your child away. For these five years, you have raised them well. Although they are my sons, they were born to you and raised by you. I cannot take them away from you, especially now that my situation wouldn't allow me to provide a better life for them than you."

Instead of letting the children stay here and be used as tools in a power struggle, it's better to give them to Xi'er. He believes Xi'er can protect both children well, whether it's the Lu family or Xi'er himself, they wouldn't allow anything to happen to the children.d true.Feng Ling Xi saw that Du Gu Yan had brought Du Gu Cheng, and politely stood up to greet him."Your Majesty, you've arrived just in time. I was about to send someone to summon you."Cen Taizi look...
