n's spine. Looking into the coldness in her eyes, Feng Aotiān suddenly felt that his daughter was truly a stranger, even more so than before she recovered from her illness. It made him afraid to appr...Feng Lingxi's face was flushed, this sudden ambiguity made her very uncomfortable, riding a horse with him was a mistake.

Dugu City looked at the blush on her face, a smile deepening in his eyes. He didn't want to break this rare atmosphere, and slowly returned to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the Prince's Residence, Ye Xi stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, "You go and deal with it first, I'll go back to the room."

Dugu Cheng responded and left with Ye Xi.

How long has the Crown Princess been here

Ye Xi saw the joyful expression on the king's face, and her mood improved as well.

"Just after she arrived, my subordinate told her that the princess had fainted from grief and was resting in her chambers. She said she wanted to go see her, so my subordinate told her to first ask the lord's opinion and placed her in the front hall."

"Well done."

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise.

Ye Xi looked at the King's expression and hurriedly said with a smile, "Your Highness, you seem to be in a good mood after going out with your wife."

獨孤城白了他一眼，“You think you're him, can't even handle a woman.”

Ye Xi rolled her eyes, "Who doesn't know who sleeps on the floor every day If he could really handle the princess, I'd be impressed."

Princess Zhao Ran sat in the front hall, waiting for a stick of incense but seeing no reply from Ye Xi. She was starting to get impatient.

"Are you sure the Four Lords are at the mansion today"

"This servant is certain, these past few days the Fourth Prince has been in the manor, returning after court every morning and never stepping out of the manor."

Zhao Ran County Lord frowned slightly, unable to see the person outside. She was a bit anxious. Why hadn't Cheng Gege come yet

"Cheng GeGe!"

Seeing Duke Gulong's figure, Princess Zhaoran excitedly stood up and walked quickly towards him. Duke Gulong watched her movement and subconsciously avoided her touch. His tone was slightly cold, "Princess Consort, are you looking for this King"

Zhao Ran County Princess's face stiffened slightly, she hurriedly straightened her posture, looking at Dugu City like this, she couldn't be as casual as before. Now she was the Crown Princess, Dugu City's sister-in-law.

"I came here to look for Xi'er. Having heard about her situation, I was worried about her, so I came to the manor to have a look."

"Thank you, Consort for your concern. It's just that Xi'er has fallen ill and is unable to come out to accompany you. Please return, Consort."

Dugu Cheng's voice was still cold, and looking at Princess Zhaoran's gaze towards him, his handsome face clearly showed impatience.

"Have you had a doctor look at that"

Dugu Cheng looked at Zhao Ran County Lord's expression and said in a deep voice, "The doctor has come and said that she needs to rest."

Princess Zhao'ran stepped forward, reaching out to grab Duke Duguo's arm, but he deliberately dodged her. This action made Princess Zhao'ran's eyes darken, "City Brother, I..."

"The Crown Princess frequently visits the Fourth Prince's Residence. I wonder if the Crown Prince knows"

Speaking of this, County Lord Zhao's eyes turned red.

"The Prince doesn't even acknowledge me as his Empress anymore. My mother got Wind Linglong released, and I don't know what method she used, but now the Prince is glued to her side every day. I haven't seen him in days."

"In that case, the Crown Princess should focus even more on the Crown Prince to ensure she keeps her position."

"But I don't care about being the Crown Princess. What I care about is..."

"If the Crown Princess doesn't care, then just watch as the position of the Crown Princess moves away from your head. This Prince has other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company."

Dugu Cheng left a sentence and turned to leave. Junzhu Zhao, the county princess, pounced forward and hugged his waist, bursting into tears.

"Brother Cheng, don't you like me at all"

Dugu Cheng looked at the hand holding him in his waist, and forcefully moved her hand away.

"Concubine, remember your status. Night Xi, escort the Concubine out."

Dugu Cheng threw down a sentence and left without looking back.

Zhao Ran County Princess watched Dugu City leave, her tears falling even harder.

"Princess Consort, please return."

Ye Xi looked at her like this, feeling a little pity. This prince really didn't understand how to cherish women. The difference in his treatment towards the princess and the crown princess was too great. They were both women, one in heaven, one on earth.

"Yexi, did your lord Wang ever truly like me"

Ye Xi sighed and earnestly advised, "Your Highness, you are already the Crown Prince's consort now. Whether you like it or not is no longer important. This way of yours will only harm the King and yourself. The Crown Princess should let go."

This is so obvious, even someone blind could see that the Prince doesn't like her. He practically despises her.

"Is it because of Feng Lingxi"

Zhao Ran County Princess asked with tears in her eyes, Ye Xi looked at the jealousy in her eyes and comforted her, "This has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. The main point is that the identity of the current Crown Princess is different from before."

"But back then, when I said I wanted to marry him, he turned me away at the door."

You still want to ask, isn't this self-inflicted abuse Knowing that the Prince doesn't like her, she keeps asking. I don't know if she truly doesn't understand or is pretending to be clueless.

"Your Highness, I should perhaps send you back."

Zhao Ran County Master glanced at the direction Dugu City left. Her brother said he would leave, and he did so without looking back. He was truly heartless.

"No need to send me off, this palace will go by myself. Tell the Fourth Prince that from now on, this palace won't bother him anymore."

After finishing her words, Princess Zhaoran left the Fourth Prince's Mansion with her maid without looking back.

After seeing off Princess Zhaoran, Yexi went to pay her respects to Duke Duguo's residence.

"My lord, the Crown Princess asked me to tell you that she won't bother you again."

Dugu Cheng's face stiffened, looking at Xi'er beside him, wishing he could rush forward and cover Ye Xi's mouth. Didn't she see Xi'er was right there

"Xier, that..."

"The Crown Princess is so deeply in love with the Prince, it seems I've interfered with your marriage. If not for me, she would probably be your Fourth Princess."

"Xier, it's not like that, this king and she..."

獨孤城急得直冒汗，看著杵在一旁的夜希，火冒三丈，“愣著乾什麼，趕緊跟王妃解釋清楚。”

Ye Xi was dumbfounded, looking at the anxious expression of the king, she whispered, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to explain"

"You..."

Dugu Cheng's fist clenched, wishing he could punch him to a pulp.

"Get down, you wretch!"

Ye Xi watched the King's anger rise and hurriedly withdrew.

"Xier, listen to this king's explanation, this king truly has no feelings for the Crown Princess. This king swears to heaven, there is none."

Wind Ling Xi looked at him anxiously explaining, she originally didn't care much about it. Listening to him explain like this, she felt that they really had something between them.

"My Lord, Lady Zhao now is the Crown Princess. No matter what happened in the past, it's impossible to go back. After all, she belongs to the Crown Prince. My Lord should be more cautious."

Dugu City wore a dejected expression, "Xi'er, this king really has nothing to do with her, why don't you believe me"

Feng Lingxi looked at him, his cold expression made Dugu Cheng depressed to the extreme. How could he make Xier believe in himselfy explained, "This doesn't prove that the Crown Princess of Chen truly loves the Crown Prince. These were just things I said on a whim. I really didn't do anything wrong to Princess Cheng or the Crown...
