angements for the empress's birthday.""That…"Dugu Cheng looked at her, wanting to speak but stopping. After a while, he said, "This King has something to attend to first, and will be back later."Seein...As they chatted, it was already late when they returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Dugu Cheng had someone bring out a prepared supper and instructed, "This is what I had someone prepare for you. You've lost weight during this time, so make sure to nourish your body."

"Is Yu Mo back yet"

Looking at the large pot of chicken soup in front of her, she lost her appetite. Her figure was what many girls dreamed of, a perfect and enviable physique with not an ounce of excess fat. She was very satisfied with herself.

"I've already sent word to him, so rest assured. He's not a child; he can take care of himself. As for you, these past few days at the estate, I'll have good nourishment for you."

"The Yao people's food is also good, actually it's not necessary to…"

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu Cheng served her soup. His gentle demeanor made it difficult for her to speak. He was truly worried about her health. After all, she had lost several pounds compared to before, so it was no wonder he was concerned.

"My Lord, Young Master Yu Mo has returned."

Ye Xi shouted at the door. Feng Ling Xi heard that Feng Yu Mo was back, so she hurriedly got up and walked out, stopping Feng Yu Mo, "Yu Mo, come in quickly and have some soup."

Feng Yu Mo heard the words "drink your soup" and hurriedly said, "Sister, I still have some things to do. You drink it yourself, I'll go back first."

Feng Lingxi watched him disappear in a puff of smoke, her gaze falling on Ye Xi. Before she could speak, Ye Xi suddenly said, "Your Highness, this subordinate remembers something else and will take his leave first."

In the room, only the two of them remained. Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her brows slightly furrowed, "There's so much, we can't finish it all. Bring some over to Xiao Li."

"This king has already sent someone to give her a gift. She saved your life, and this king won't treat her poorly. During this time, her tonics are the same as yours."

Feng Lingxi twitched her lips, resignedly sat back down and drank the soup.

Du Gu Cheng just stared at her, watching her finish the bowl of soup, before letting people take it away.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a bit nervous. There were only the two of them left in the room. She couldn't just go to sleep as if nothing had happened tonight, could she

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Cheng, who was tidying up the bedding on his bed. She felt a little awkward.

After tidying up the room, Dugu City turned to Feng Lingxi, "After washing up later, we can rest."

"Dugu City, come back first, how many days will it take the army to arrive"

Feng Lingxi started a conversation, getting up and walking to the side, looking a little uncomfortable.

"The army will probably be back in about three days. After a short rest, we'll set off again. The round trip will take about half a month. I've entrusted the matters here in Linxi County to Yu Mo for these days. He's been doing very well."

Three days, she stayed here for three days before returning to the Yao tribe. It's actually quite good.

After washing up, Feng Lingxi sat at the dressing table taking off her jewelry. Dugu City walked behind her, grasped her hand, and said softly, "I'll come."

Feng Lingxi didn't refuse, looking at the Dugu City in the bronze mirror who was seriously helping her take off her jewelry. That gentle gesture warmed her heart.

"Xi'er, that's enough."

Feng Lingxi stood up, and Duguo City suddenly hugged her from behind. Such a sudden action made Feng Lingxi's body stiffen, unable to move in his arms, her body visibly tense.

"Xier, I'm sorry."

獨孤城 buried his head in her neck, opening his mouth to apologize, "This King knows you've been unhappy these past few days. It was this King's fault for not considering your feelings. I'm sorry."

"Didn't we already say that We agreed not to bring it up again."

Wind Ling turned her back to him, feeling the rasp in his voice. Her mood became complicated.

"Alright, I'm done talking. This king wants to hug you."

Feng Lingxi didn't reply to him, letting him hold her. They stood like that for a while before Dugucheng let go of her and helped her up.

It's getting late, it's time to rest.

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, watching Dugu City walk to the bedside and lift the quilt. Feng Lingxi got dressed and lay down on the bed. Dugu City, who was lying beside her, suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms. He kissed her forehead softly and said, "Sleep."

Feng Lingxi was a little surprised. She thought he would do something to her, but she didn't expect him to be able to hold back.

"Hmm."

Feng Ling Xi nestled in his arms and closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep. Dugu Cheng heard Feng Ling Xi's even breathing and a satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face, "Xi'er, as long as I can stay by my side, I am content."

He didn't want Xi'er to misunderstand him, and he certainly didn't want her to feel that his feelings for her were purely possessive.

While Feng Lingxi slept soundly in his wife's arms, Dugu Cheng was restless. Sniffing the scent on Xi'er’s body, his body ignited like a burning fire, uncontrollable and surging with an unbearable desire.

Night, long and agonizing, Dugu Cheng endured it very hard. Until the latter half of the night, he didn't have a bit of sleepiness. Looking at the woman in his arms, he dared not move even a little, fearing that he would wake her up, while Feng Lingxi slept soundly because Dugu Cheng was by her side.

If Feng Ling Xi hadn't been woken up in the middle of the night by the need to urinate, she wouldn't have noticed the unusual warmth in her abdomen. Opening her eyes, she was met with Du Gu Cheng's gaze. Du Gu Cheng didn't expect her to wake up suddenly and was a little flustered, his voice raspy.

"Xier, how did you wake up"

I'm going to the restroom.

Feng Ling Xi got up and went down, quickly returned. Du Gu Cheng got up to drink some water, tried hard to quell his desires, watching as she returned to the bed, she closed her eyes again. This was when Du Gu Cheng went back to lie down.

"Dugu City, why don't you touch me"

Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu City stiffen. Looking at Feng Lingxi looking at him, the doubt in her eyes rekindled the desire within Dugu City.

"This king is afraid of you..."

Before she could finish her words, Feng Lingxi suddenly reached out and hugged him by the neck, kissing his lips and whispering, "We're husband and wife."

Dugu Cheng received permission and took the lead, kissing her lips. Feng Ling Xi's clothes were taken off, and the room was filled with romantic atmosphere.

Perhaps because they hadn't been together for a long time, Dugu City tossed and turned Feng Lingxi throughout the night until just before dawn, when he finally let her go. Feng Lingxi slept soundly, only waking up at noon. Her whole body ached, covered in the marks left by Dugu City.

Little Li entered with a pail of water, seeing the redness on the princess's lips, she covered her mouth and snickered. Feng Lingxi was both embarrassed and annoyed. This Dugu City really did allow him to torment her like this, making her only just get up now.

Where's Du Gucheng

"Your Majesty, the King has gone out and told me not to disturb you while you sleep."

Xiaoli's face was full of smiles, "Your Highness, would you like a bath"

Feng Lingxi responded to the sound, waiting for the water to be ready. She pushed Xiao Li aside, not wanting her to see the marks on her body. It was just too embarrassing.

"Your Highness, Shadow Six requests an audience."

The voice of Fourteen reached her ears, and Feng Lingxi straightened her clothes, letting Xiao Li comb her hair. She summoned Yingliu to come in.Lingxi tried to pull her hand back, but Dugu Yan refused to let go, instead gripping her even tighter. Feng Lingxi raised her eyes, her gaze instantly turning sharp and cold. Looking at Dugu Yan's ang...
