Chapter 766: Prison 26

an hour, Feng Lingxi was becoming restless. She turned to Xiao Li and said, "Stay here and don't wander off. I'm going to take a look around nearby."Xiao Li responded, "Be careful, Your Highness."Fen..."What are you laughing at"

Luo Juzhou was angered by Feng Lingxi's smile. Looking at her like this, he truly didn't understand why Cheng Gege would like such a woman.

"Lady Luo, I have acted inappropriately. I just felt that Lady Luo was very adorable."

Feng Lingxi's words made Luo Juzhou very angry. This Feng Lingxi couldn't tell that she didn't like her

"Xier, you go and ask Cheng'er if there's any news later."

Feng Lingxi nodded, glanced at Luo Juzhou beside her, and smiled, "Miss Luo, I'll excuse myself for a moment."

Luo Juzhou pouted, her dissatisfaction with Feng Lingxi was all over her face. Feng Lingxi didn't show any displeasure and left with a smile.

"Empress Dowager, why do you like Feng Lingxi so much I heard she was seriously ill before and became foolish."

The Dowager Empress Shu gently pulled Luo Juzhou to sit down and comforted her, "Xi'er is the apple of your City Lord brother's eye. This concubine also likes her very much. Her experiences are quite pitiful..."

“It’s pitiful to see her like this. She’s been married to Cheng Gege for a year now, and she hasn’t even given him a son or daughter. Moreover, Zhou’er heard that she had an engagement with the Crown Prince of Huangxia Dynasty and was involved with the current emperor…”

"Jun Zhou, do not speak recklessly."

Shū Taifei interrupted her with displeasure, her expression becoming serious.

"Xi'er is not like that. The betrothal to the prince of Huang Xia Chao was arranged by her mother. After she found out, she had already broken off the engagement with the prince. Now, she is a princess of Huang Xia Chao."

Shutai's words left Luo Juzhou feeling quite indignant. She grumbled under her breath.

"What's there to be proud of being a nominal princess"

Shutai looked at Luo Juzhou, "Did your father say how long he would stay in the capital this time"

"No, Father only said the Emperor had summoned him and didn't say when he would return."

Lu Juzhou said, looking at Shutai, coquettishly, "Shutai, when will Chengge come back He promised me before that he would marry me when I grew up. He won't lie to me, right"

When the imperial concubine heard this, her brows furrowed slightly. Looking at Luo Juzhou's expectant eyes, she softly said, "Juzhou, Cheng'er has already taken a wife. He said he wouldn't marry any other woman. You were young and didn't understand before, but now you are of marriageable age. This concubine thinks that the Prince of Pingnan and you would be a good match."

"What's so good about him I'm marrying Cheng Gege, what does he amount to!"

Luo Ju was angry and stood up, her eyes reddened.

"Shutaifei, don't you like Zhou'er"

Shu Taifei saw the redness in her eyes, just about to explain, when a maid from the manor stepped forward and reported, "Shu Taifei, there's a message from the palace, asking you to enter the palace once. The Empress Dowager wants to see you."

When mentioned the Empress Dowager Cen, Shu Taifei's eyes gradually turned cold. Since the previous emperor's demise, she had rarely entered the palace. Now, to summon her, it was likely not for good intentions.

This concubine will be there shortly.

Shutai looked at Luo Juzhou, "Ju Zhou, this concubine is going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager. You stay here in the mansion. If you need anything, just find Xi'er. This concubine will be back soon."

Luo Juzhou nodded, watching Shu Taifei's departing figure. Thinking of Feng Lingxi, she beckoned her maidservant to her side, "Where is your mistress's courtyard This county princess wants to see her."

"Lady Luo, please."

The maid dared not be negligent, hurriedly took Luo Juzhou to Feng Lingxi's courtyard.

Feng Lingxi left the courtyard of Shu Taifei, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Xiaoli watched from the side, her eyes full of worry.

"Your Highness, this Lady Luo from the Luo Prefecture seems to have ill intentions. Please be more careful and don't give in to her every whim."

Feng Lingxi thinking of Luo Juzhou looking at her with hostile eyes, how could she not understand what that look meant.

"Xiao Li, Du Gu Cheng and I have come this far. Not just anyone can interfere in our relationship. I trust him."

Xiaoli heard the princess's words and looked at her with annoyance. Thinking of what the Luo county lord had said, she felt even more irritated.

"Your Highness, how is the King He is a man after all, and the King at that. Do you truly believe he will be devoted only to you Men are rarely content with just one wife. Three wives and four concubines is common for men of his stature."

"Xiao Li, don't say any more."

Feng Lingxi interrupted Xiaoli and after a long silence, said, "Do you still remember what I told you when I first got married If one day Dugu City betrays me and our feelings come to an end, I won't hesitate. I will leave without looking back."

"Your Highness, you can't do this. I mean, you mustn't condone what the Princess of Luo has done to you. She is the princess of the Pingxi King, and you are the Sacred Lord of Yao Clan. In terms of status, you are no inferior to her. Why should you yield to her"

"Who said I conceded"

Feng Lingxi knew that Xiaoli was just worried about her, but she really didn't have any intention of backing down.

She just thought Luo Juzhou was just a willful little girl. Which young girl is not in love, which young girl's heart doesn't have someone she likes One-sided liking, Du Gucheng didn't say he wanted to marry her, and besides, what her mother said in front of her made her clearly realize the difference in treatment between herself and Luo Juzhou.

As the mistress of the Fourth Prince's mansion, she shouldn't be too harsh on her because of Luo Junzhu's words. She didn't say in front of her that she wanted to marry Dugu City, and besides, her mother's intention was very clear; she had to give her mother face.

“Your Highness, the servant girl just feels that Miss Luo's affections for the Crown Prince are written all over her face. The servant girl is afraid that she will pester him to marry her later on. As you know, the Crown Prince has not had a child with you since your marriage. If she uses this as an excuse, the servant girl is worried…”

"There's nothing to worry about."

Feng Lingxi interrupted Xiaoli and, looking at her biting her lip, calmly said, "If you truly want to fight me for him, I will make a move myself."

Xiao Li nodded, since the princess had said so, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"Xiao Li, have Yingliu come find me. I have something to tell her."

Feng Lingxi returned to the courtyard. Dugu Cheng had been away from Kyoto for nearly half a month, and there was still no news. This person, Dugu Yu, had a dark heart. If the persuasion failed, she didn't know what he would do. She needed to know if Dugu Cheng was safe.

"Your Highness, the Dowager Empress has just entered the palace. The Empress summoned her and asked me to tell you to take good care of Princess Luo."

"Mother Concubine has entered the palace"

Feng Lingxi's expression changed slightly. She had come out of prison and never heard the Empress summon her once, but she didn't expect that she would summon her mother into the palace. Wouldn't she take advantage of Dugucheng's absence from the capital to plot against her mother

Feng Lingxi's worries were all written on her face. The maidservant looked at Feng Lingxi's expression, "The Noble Consort Shu has already entered the palace."

"Understood. You go down and have the servants take good care of Lady Luo."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and instructed Xiao Li, "Go find Yingliu now and tell her to wait for me in my courtyard."

Xiao Li responded and left. Feng Ling Xi went to Dugu City's study, wrote a letter in the study, and coldly ordered, "Ye Su, find a way to get this letter to the prince."

Ye Su suddenly appeared before her, took the letter, and quietly withdrew.ink the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty would allow you to live"Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, which gradually became deep. Did he misread her, or was she pretendingFeng Lingxi smiled, loo...
