h by the black-clad men. Thankfully, both the Fourth Prince and you are safe and sound. Otherwise, my husband and I wouldn't know how to explain things to Empress Shu."Her self-blaming words seemed to..."I suppose so, you wouldn't be here to kill me if you were going to. You would have done it already."

Wind Ling Xi looked at him, the smile on her lips made Dugu Cheng's heart ache.

But one day if Dugu City asks you to kill me, will you do it

Feng Lingxi suddenly asked, "He entrusted you to protect my safety back then. Now he has forgotten me and divorced me. What if the Emperor is forcing him to find me now, and he's unwilling He might ask you to get rid of me."

"You're overthinking it, won't."

Dugu City interrupted her fantasy. Was he so unbearable in her heart

It should have been obvious who he was.

Dugu Cheng's heart was heavy, but what could he do He was the one who caused Xi'er's unhappiness.

Perhaps he just forgot about you out of necessity.

"Why bother speaking up for him." Feng Lingxi looked at him, the pain in her eyes made Dugu Cheng soothe her, "It's not about speaking up for him, just that I don't think he's like that."

"Everyone changes, there's nothing to it."

After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she said softly, "Back then I also said that if he didn't want me anymore, I could completely forget about him. But in the end, I still couldn't."

Tears rolled down the corner of her eyes, and Feng Lingxi's heart ached with pain.

But thinking of the child in her womb, Feng Lingxi held back.

獨孤城 watched her cry, his heart aching as if pierced by something. It hurt terribly.

"You shouldn't cry."

Dugu Cheng spoke, his voice choked with emotion. "For him, it's not worth it."

"Yeah, it's not worth it."

Feng Lingxi wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.

It's getting late, thank you for talking to me so much, I think I'm going to sleep.

Feng Lingxi got up and walked toward the inside of the house. Dugu Cheng watched her back, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, but he didn't try to keep her or even summon the courage to call her name. These were all consequences of his own making. Perhaps letting go of her would be better for both of them.

Now the entire imperial court is conspiring against them as a couple. Should they make even the slightest mistake, they will be reduced to ashes.

"Looking at her like that, does it feel good"

At some point, the sound of footsteps came from behind. Dugu City turned to look at him and walked towards the courtyard. Luo Li followed him. The two sat down at a stone table bathed in moonlight and poured themselves a cup of wine.

"I came here at night just to see how heartbroken she is crying"

"What nonsense are you talking about"

Dugu Cheng was in a bad mood and felt somewhat angry at Luo Li's words, "Send her away as soon as possible."

"The fetus is unstable, and Li Wu Yan needs to nod before anything can be done."

Luo Li looked at him, and when she heard the fetus was unstable, Du Gu Cheng's eyes tightened. He gripped the wine glass tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.

"Did I do something wrong"

Luo Li took a deep breath, "If I had told her back then that Xi'er would be involved in all this trouble, we wouldn't be able to confirm who was behind it now. They plotted so carefully but left her out. I'm afraid, the water spilled can never be collected."

"You made the decision in the first place, and besides, it's true that Huan Yue saved you. She is now in the Fourth Prince's Manor. If you kept Xi'er, who knows what would have happened to her"

Dugu Cheng clenched his fists. Thinking of Huan Yue's delicate appearance, who could imagine that this girl was an extremely dangerous existence

Before confirming her identity, leaving Xi'er in the palace was a risk he couldn't take; he wasn't sure he could keep her safe.

"Relax a bit, with Ah-Yan here, everything will be fine."

"Li Wuyan, he..."

獨孤城 worried that Feng Lingxi and Li Wuyan had been getting close recently.

"What do you think Do you think Ayan would go for Feng Lingxi Do you think anyone could stand Feng Lingxi's temper"

Luo Li heard what Dugu Cheng said and couldn't help but panic. After speaking for a while, her heart was also suspended in the air.

"I didn't mean it that way, I was just asking."

"You're the worried one." He said it as if he wasn't worried at all.

Every time Ah Yan was with Feng Ling Xi, they always had endless things to talk about. But when he was with her, he couldn't find a word to say. He truly didn't understand, where exactly did Feng Ling Xi deserve Ah Yan's affection

Damn it, he helped a lot too, why does Ah Yan only speak a few words to him.

獨孤城冇有出聲，他擔心也冇用，若真是這樣，兮兒就改變了心意，說明他真的傷透了兮兒的心，也不配和她在一起了。

If that day truly comes, he respects Xier's choice, as long as she is happy.

"I'm going back now, it'll be suspicious if I'm out too late."

"Wait a minute."

Luo Li called out to Dugu City, "That Huanyue lives with you, the two of you…"

"No, don't think about it. I'm not that kind of person."

Dugu Cheng rose, leaped into the moonlight and vanished as if he had never been there.

"Seems like a man who still values chastity."

Luo Li stroked her chin, yawned, and went back to her room to sleep.

Since that night when Dugu City came to see Feng Lingxi, he would visit her every few days. As the owner of Tiangxiang Building, although he didn't speak much, it made Feng Lingxi's mood much better.

Without any outside disturbances, under Li Wu Yan's meticulous care, his emotions stabilized and his body recovered considerably.

As for the Fourth Prince's Manor, after Huan Yue moved in with Du Gu Cheng, she has acted as the Fourth Princess Consort. Although she hasn't changed her address, her actions have already treated herself as Du Gu Cheng's Fourth Princess Consort, and her style of behavior has made the servants of the Fourth Prince's Manor very unhappy.

Feng Lingxi, although she was the legitimate Fourth Princess before, was very kind to those below her and wasn't weak like this Huan Yue. She often did things herself. Unlike Huan Yue, who demanded they do everything for her and cried at the slightest inconvenience, causing them to be punished and scolded.

In less than half a month at the mansion, he had already made the servants extremely dissatisfied.

But after all, it was brought back by the Fourth Prince. What could they do if they were dissatisfied They could only endure it.

The Imperial Concubine Shu spent her days in the Buddhist hall reciting scriptures, unconcerned with matters of the Four King's Mansions or the inner courtyard. With regard to these affairs, Huan Yue took charge. The maids and housekeepers arranged by Du Gu Cheng for her truly served her like a proper princess.

"Moonlit maiden, these people are all clamoring to come in and move these things into the prince's courtyard..."

The maidservant at the manor couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing Huan Yue approaching, she hurriedly asked:

"The moonlight swept over the new furniture, Huan Yue arched her brow and said, "These are all bought by me. I don't like things that have been used in the King's courtyard, all of them need to be replaced, including the bed frame. As long as it was something Feng Ling Xi used, it all needs to be replaced."

"You're saying even Cheng'er would have to be replaced"

"I have met Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort."

Upon hearing the complaints from the servants in the inner courtyard, Empress Shu decided to come and see for herself how Moon was managing the household. She also wanted to see how this fragile young woman was doing. However, she was surprised by the response and retorted sharply.

As soon as Huan Yue saw Shu Taifei, she instantly retracted her previous expression and donned a gentle and virtuous demeanor as she stepped forward to pay her respects. softly."It was my fault. I was too greedy."“You're being too greedy. Since you're already married and have no intention of settling down with her, yet you’ve developed a relationship that has resulte...
