o rebuttal to the arsenic, he could only follow his master's arrangements.Feng Lingxi found the Yao people and ordered them to investigate the whereabouts of the explosives. Then she returned to the c...Ye Xi and Xiaoli closed the door behind them and stood outside in the wind.

"All withdraw."

Dugu Cheng instructed, "Keep this under wraps."

Ye Xi responded and took Xiao Li away to make arrangements. They couldn't let the Emperor and Empress Dowager know that the Wang Ye had brought the Crown Princess back to the Wangfu, so they had to find something to cover it up.

"Dugu Cheng, I have offended you."

Feng Lingxi, unable to control the effects of the medicine, pushed Dugu Cheng down. The bed curtain was lowered, and the room became filled with a seductive atmosphere.

After a night of passion, Feng Lingxi slept until dawn, exhausted. Dugu Cheng held Feng Lingxi in his arms, watching the blush still lingering on her face. He reached out and touched her cheek, surprised by how potent the Tai-Hou's drug was this time. It had inadvertently worked in his favor.

But it's a good thing he found out, or else tonight the one lying beside Xi'er wouldn't be him, but Dugu Yan.

Thinking of this, Dugu Cheng's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent. Dare to plot against Xi'er's head This account will be settled later when Xi'er has cleared her name and finds them for a good reckoning.

Feng Ling Xi was covered with the quilt. Dugu Cheng got up, put on his clothes and walked out. Ye Xi saw the king leave, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

"Have you finished everything I asked you to do"

Yè Xī responded, “Your Highness may rest assured, everything is done.”

"Spread the word that Princess Yao Hua stayed at my palace last night."

"Your Majesty, are you intending for the Empress Dowager to know about this"

Although they are both princesses, this princess's current status is Princess YaoHua. This news reaching the palace will surely infuriate the Empress Dowager.

"Wasn't she always hoping for Princess Yaohua to marry me Wouldn't it be pleasing to her if she knew about me and Princess Yaohua now"

Ye Xi's spine turned cold at Du Gu Cheng's words. What did it mean to be in line with the Empress Dowager's wishes It was clearly in line with the King's wishes.

"Right away, sir."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Take Xiao Li care of, don't come to disturb this king and Xi'er, let her sleep more."

Night Xi heard the king's words, stiffly smiled, and hurriedly left. This king's words were full of meaning, too cruel.

Back in the room, Dugu City took off his clothes again and lay beside Feng Ling Xi. He pulled her into his arms and fell asleep holding her.

Shou'an Palace

Nanny Liu brought the news from the Fourth Prince's Mansion to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was furious, clenching her fists and glaring with eyes that could kill.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that since the marriage has already been bestowed upon the Fourth Prince, we should just pretend nothing happened between Princess Yao Hua and him."

"It was all your bad ideas! Now look at this, you've helped Du Gu Cheng."

Grandma Liu knew she was wrong and didn't dare to speak up anymore.

How did she know that the Fourth Prince would come to ruin her plans It was as if she had known all along. He arrived so coincidentally and insisted on taking Princess YaoHua away.

Where is the Emperor What was he like last night

"Favored Xiugui Fei."

Empress Dowager Cen let out a cold snort, Liu Ma'ma lowered her head, and heard Empress Dowager Cen say coldly, "She was lucky."

"Your Majesty, if Empress Dowager Xi would be able to conceive a dragon son, it would also be a good thing."

It's a pity, if the favor last night had been bestowed upon Princess Yao Hua, then the Empress Dowager could have gotten her wish. It was truly a mistake.

If she were able to conceive a dragon offspring, would she still be here now

Grandma Liu fell silent, scared after being scolded by the Empress Dowager.

In the palace, Feng Lingxi woke up from a sleep and it was already evening. Her body ached slightly with every movement, feeling like it had been crushed, aching terribly. She opened her eyes and heard Dugu Cheng's gentle voice beside her, "Awake"

Feng Lingxi suddenly woke up, she turned her head to look at Dugu City lying beside her, got up in a hurry, the quilt slipped down, revealing a large expanse of spring light, she was so scared that she hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her body.

"Dugu City, how did you get here"

"This is my king's palace, this is our room, how, you were forcibly slept with by me, and you have amnesia again"

Memories surged like waves, the chaotic scene of last night flooding her mind. Feng Lingxi met Du Gucheng's meaningful gaze, and her body sank back into the blankets.

She said her body ached so much, last night was too crazy, right

"This Empress Dowager Cen is truly ruthless. To use such potent medicine, doesn't she fear for someone's life I only drank half a bowl and feel like this. As for that Dugu Yan, she drank a whole bowl. I wonder which poor soul suffered at his hands last night."

Hearing Xi'er mention Dugu Yan at this time, Duguo Cheng's handsome brows furrowed slightly, he straightened her face, forcing her to look at him directly, "Xi'er, you keep talking about Dugu Yan, why don't you tell me how you tossed around this king last night"

When it comes to this, Feng Lingxi's eyes flickered, flustered.

At this time, how could he let go of this matter.

"Dugu City, last night I was drugged, you know, I wasn't myself. Just pretend that it was me forcing you, besides, you didn't suffer much."

Feng Lingxi chuckled, thinking to herself, "We're both going through a lot of trouble, but she's about ready to fall apart, while he's still energetic and has the face to complain to her. Shouldn't she be the one complaining"

"Was last night's performance to your liking, my dear"

Looking at the smile in Dugu Cheng's eyes, Feng Lingxi dared to bet that if she said she was unsatisfied, Dugu Cheng would definitely not let her off so easily.

"Satisfied."

Even if her memory is hazy, she has to say she's satisfied, or he definitely won't let her off the hook.

Dugu Cheng nodded in satisfaction, “If Naxier is satisfied, this King will rest assured.”

Feng Lingxi glanced outside. "What time is it"

She woke up, it must be late already, she had to return to the palace.

"It's getting dark soon, Xier. Why don't we stay here for the night"

Feng Lingxi's body stiffened, remembering what had happened last night. She hurriedly said, "I still have to return to the palace, or the Empress Dowager will suspect something."

"Your Majesty has already informed the Empress Dowager that you spent last night with me, tossing and turning so violently that you're probably unable to get out of bed or return to the palace. You should rest well at home tonight. You don't have to come back to the palace this evening."

Dugu City, you…

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's smile at the corner of his lips, "You say this too"

Dugu Cheng's eyes fell on the mark on her chest. "Why don't you try, Xi'er See if you still have the strength to go down. This empress won't know how potent the medicine she gave you is. Today at court, Dugu Yan didn't even attend."

Feng Lingxi couldn't say a word. How powerful was this medicine Did the Empress really not want Dugu Yan to carry on the family line This kind of torment, Dugu Yan surviving to today was already a miracle.

"Xier, what expression is that Last night, this king experienced it firsthand. It's no surprise that Dugu Yan couldn't attend court this morning, right"

Feng Lingxi glared at Dugu Cheng, "What's going through your mind I was just thinking, why did the Empress Dowager want me and Dugu Yan together"

Could it be that because she was good to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager took a liking to her and wanted her to be Dugu Yan's womans jade pendant is really his personal pendant, isn't it""Where did you find it"Dugu Cheng clutched the jade pendant and looked at it, his brow furrowed. He didn't even know Xi'er had such a jade penda...
