ne who forced yourself on me..."The dagger pressed closer to his neck, and Dugu City felt her anger. He fell silent.With the dagger at his neck gone, Feng Lingxi took out a silver ingot and threw it t...Dugu Xiu, hearing Feng Lingxi's words, didn't show any anger. As she said, he was indeed here specifically to find her, and he came humbly to ask for her advice. Naturally, he couldn't give her a hard time and had to please her.
"The Fourth Princess said, you are the heart and soul of the Fourth Brother. You are skilled in medicine. Last time, if it weren't for the Fourth Princess to save me from smallpox, I'm afraid I wouldn't know when I would recover. Now that I think about it, this King feels a little guilty. If it weren't for the Fourth Princess concocting medicine for me, perhaps the child in the Fourth Princess's womb…"
"This time it has nothing to do with the Sixth Prince, I just tripped and fell."
Feng Lingxi didn't want him to always bring it up, after all, it was an unfounded matter. No one would want to be constantly reminded of something like this, especially such a sensitive topic.
"The Fourth Princess, your body isn't feeling uncomfortable anymore, is there If you need any medicinal herbs, just tell this King, I will definitely get them for you." This statement from Du Gu Xiu actually gave Feng Ling Xi the illusion that he was trying to please her.
If she hadn't gone through so much before, she would have really believed him.
"Sixth Prince, we Ming people don't beat around the bush. You came today because you need my help"
Dugu Xiujun raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled, "The Fourth Princess Consort is indeed the woman chosen by the Fourth Brother. She has a noble heart and an admirable spirit. This king admires her."
"These polite words, Sixth Royal Prince, you better spare them. You and I, our relationship is clear to everyone. With Sixth Royal Prince behaving this way, I'm truly not used to it." Feng Lingxi's words made Dugu Xiu's smile even brighter.
“What the Fourth Princess said makes sense. Our relationship is simply that of aunt and nephew, isn't it This time, the Fourth Princess saved this King’s life. Let bygones be bygones. If the Fourth Princess still minds, this King will stay here to apologize to her. I hope the Fourth Princess will forgive me and forget about those things.”
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Xiu's well-rehearsed apology, making him seem like he truly wanted to mend things with her. These fawning and insincere words almost made Feng Lingxi not recognize him.
"Sixth Brother, this sounds to me like you're trying to flatter my concubines."
Dugu Cheng walked over, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. Dugu Xiu hurriedly got up to greet him, the smile on his face not diminished in the slightest. "Fourth Brother, we were just talking about you, and you arrived. Come sit down and have some tea together."
Dugu Cheng was surprised by Dugu Xiu's attitude. Sitting beside Feng Lingxi, he saw her wink at him, and his attitude towards Dugu Xiu changed.
This Dugu Xiu is really capable, he can even endure this.
"Sixth brother, did you come looking for Xi'er for something"
Dugu Cheng asked, Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Xiu and explained, “The Sixth Prince came to see me, saying he wanted to check if I was better.”
“Fourth Brother, this King is truly here to thank Fourth Sister-in-law. If it weren't for the medicine she sent, this King wouldn't know when this measles would ever get better.” Du Gu Xiu said, hurriedly waving his hand, looking at the list of medicinal herbs that had been delivered. Feng Ling Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking confused.
"Sixth Brother, what do you mean"
"Du Gu Xiu handed the list to Feng Ling Xi, "Fourth Empress Consort, these are some expensive medicinal herbs that this king found for you. I specially came to thank you. That day when I went back, I realized that my illness could get better. Fourth Empress Consort has been working tirelessly to help me. This great kindness is beyond words. I hope Fourth Empress Consort will accept these gifts."
Feng Lingxi looked at the list of medicinal ingredients. They were all expensive and rare, hard to get even normally. This Dugu Xiu had put some thought into this; he wouldn't let it go to waste.
"With such kindness from Sixth Prince, I am most grateful."
Feng Lingxi placed the list on the table and said to Dugu City, "When the Sixth Prince brings the medicinal materials, you have Ye Xi accompany Xiao Li to check them."

Dugu City glanced at the list of medicinal herbs and put it in his bosom.
"Sixth Brother's kindness, this Princess and Xi'er have already thanked you for. Today I came to find Xi'er, besides that, is there anything else"
Dugu Xiu saw Dugu Cheng open his mouth, and thinking of the pressure from the court these days, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, which was quickly concealed.
"Fourth Brother, have you heard about the affairs in the capital The Emperor has made Feng Yuxi his empress. The entire court is in chaos because of that demonic woman. The Emperor himself is completely under her spell. Even the ministers are coming to me with their accusations. I'm worried that if this continues, the discontent among the officials will lead to trouble."
Du Gucheng raised an eyebrow slightly, "Although I'm not someone to speak on matters of the court, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager have both agreed to establish Feng Yu Xi as Empress. This is naturally their decision. As for your claims that she is a demon empress, I haven't interacted with the court about this matter and am unaware of the situation."
"Could it be that the imperial court hasn't come looking for the fourth brother"
Dugu Cheng looked at Dugu Xiu's questioning eyes and asked, "Is this strange The imperial court has never sought out this king when there is nothing amiss. You are the Empress Dowager's son and the current emperor's half-brother. You naturally understand court affairs better than this king."
Before things had become this chaotic, he and the court had long since parted ways. It was naive of Dugu Xiu to think he could drag him down.
"Fourth Brother, you can't say it like that. This empire was built by our father. Don't you truly have the heart to let the emperor destroy what our father created"
Dugu Xiu's tone was a bit angry. Looking at Dugu Cheng's furrowed brows, he tried his best to suppress the anger within him. These days, he had understood that Dugu Yan didn't treat him as a brother at all. His mother and her were no different either. To her, he was nothing more than a pawn in her hands. Since that was the case, he didn't want to be wronged any longer. If Dugu Yan could be emperor, why couldn't he
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Xiu's eyes, hidden anger, and gently frowned. "Even if that's the case, we can't do anything. You also know that when my father passed away, I was wrongly accused of being the murderer. It took me a lot of effort to clear my name. Now we and the court are safe on our own, and the court has always been wary of us. No matter what we say, it's wrong. We are afraid that we have no power to influence the affairs of the court."
"Fourth Brother, do you know why it was said at the time that it was Empress Dowager Four's doing It was because the Emperor's attempt to usurp the throne was discovered by his father. The emperor was furious and wanted to depose the crown prince. In order to protect the Emperor, the Empress Dowager pleaded with her husband. That night, the Emperor passed away."
Upon hearing that Dugu Xiu had summoned Empress Cen, Feng Lingxi was somewhat incredulous. After all, she was his own biological mother, yet he showed no mercy.
Dugu Cheng asked Dugu Xiu with a cold face, "What evidence do you have to say that your father was killed by your mother"
"Fourth Brother wants evidence Just ask the current Imperial Physician. He's Empress Dowager's confidant, and after Father's passing, he became the Chief Physician of the Imperial Hospital. Could he possibly fabricate something"
Dugu City clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot with fury.
"I never thought it was her who killed Father."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Xiu, "Sixth Prince, you say Empress Dowager killed your father, don't you fear that your mother would punish you for slandering her"
