Chapter 30 Someone Is Framing This Noblewoman?

aid, "Du Gu Cheng, Luo Li is the leader of the Yao clan. He has taken good care of me this time. We would like to invite him into the city to stay at our mansion for a night and thank him properly."Lu...Dugu Cheng nodded, Feng Lingxi then let go of him.

"Go to sleep."

The more time Feng Lingxi spent with him, the stranger she found him to be. Just now, his words were clearly a test of her, and not a single word was true. He wasn't actually suffering from amnesia at all. His deception made her feel agitated.

She was afraid that his concealment would disrupt her future life.

Dugu Cheng got up and left. Feng Lingxi continued to prepare her medicinal herbs, while Xiao Li stayed by their side, her eyes fixed on Dugu Cheng, afraid he might do something harmful to the princess.

"Your Highness, it's late. You should sleep early. I'll stay here and keep watch."

Little Li yawned, although she was very tired, but with Du Gu Cheng in the room, she dared not fall asleep. She had to keep watch, lest he harm the Princess.

"You should go to sleep first. I'm not tired yet." Feng Lingxi glanced outside, it was almost dawn, and she still hadn't finished her research.

"Little Li is keeping watch over you here."

Although I am sleepy, the princess's innocence is more important than anything.

"Rest assured, I won't do anything to her. You can sleep soundly. Your wife is a doctor after all. Unless I'm tired of living, I wouldn't even think about harming her."

Du Gu Cheng leaned against the screen, watching Xiao Li who was constantly trying to cough but stubbornly staring at him. This woman's maidservant was indeed loyal.

"Feng Lingxi didn't even raise her head as she said, 'He's right. If he dares to have any designs on me, I'll make him regret it for the rest of his life.'"

獨孤城 glanced at her, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth. This woman was quite interesting, it seemed that marrying her wouldn't be a loss for him.

"Are my jokes funny"

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and coldly scanned Du Gu Cheng. Seeing him shake his head, she reminded him, "It's time to sleep. Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't open your eyes."

Naked threat, Dugu City met his gaze for several seconds before obediently returning behind the screen and lying down to sleep.

As the master of the illustrious War God's Fourth Royal Manor, he had now stooped to sleeping on the floor in his own wife's chamber.

"Little Li, go to sleep, or else I won't be able to have you keep an eye on things for me tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi urged her, "Look at you, almost falling asleep. You have to serve me tomorrow morning, so you should go to sleep now."

"Then, Your Highness the Princess, get some rest. Xiaoli is going back to sleep now."

"Let thoughts and intentions fall asleep, I don't need to guard this, this is safe."

Feng Ling Xi's words caused Dugu Cheng to involuntarily shiver. Her seemingly harmless statement made him feel uneasy.

Xiao Li responded and went downstairs. Inside the room, only Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng remained. After Feng Lingxi prepared the medicinal herbs, she extinguished the lamp and went to bed. She would examine the old Madam tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow would be her return home. She had to prepare well and make sure her mother-in-law wouldn't have a hard time at the General's Mansion.

The next morning, Feng Lingxi got up early. Hearing the sound outside the door, Feng Lingxi glanced behind the screen. Dugu Cheng was very honest. Hearing any sound, he would tidy himself up and make sure her room looked normal.

"Your Highness, the Dowager Empress has sent me to invite you to join her for breakfast."

Feng Lingxi looked at the maidservant guarding outside and told Cheng Xin Yi, "Go and tell them to bring breakfast to Xiuxin Garden in a while. This princess will have breakfast with her mother."

Yes.

With a deliberate and intentional nod, she withdrew. Feng Ling looked at Xiao Li, "The room is yours to clean. No one else is allowed to enter the princess's chamber to clean, nor are they allowed to help."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, and the maids who had wanted to come help with the cleaning were stunned. A bold maid hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, it was the old Empress who arranged for us to help clean the Princess's courtyard."

"There are medicinal herbs concocted by the princess in the room. Just have Xiaoli clean it up."

Xiao Li saw their confusion and hurriedly explained, “The princess cherishes her medicinal herbs very much, and she also has a lot of powdered medicine. For everyone's safety, you might as well let me clean up. After all, I serve the princess, and I know how to handle things.”

Hearing Xiaoli's words, the maidservants hurriedly responded and looked at the door of the queen's room with a look of reluctance in their eyes.

"Xiao Li, be careful when cleaning the room, don't touch the poison powder."

Wind Lingxi entrusted a word and left for the Xiu Xin Garden. That was all she could do. Dugu Cheng was inside the room, for fear of being discovered, how many lies had she told.

When she arrived at Xiuxin Garden, the Old Madam had already been waiting for her. Unlike yesterday, the Old Madam's attitude towards her was much better today. She was smiling and kind, which eased Feng Lingxi's mood considerably.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her mother-in-law."

The Old Madam hurriedly motioned for her to sit beside her. "In the future, come here and have meals with your mother if you have time in the morning."

"The daughter-in-law obeys." Feng Lingxi looked at the breakfast on the table. This morning's meal was surprisingly light.

"Xier, Mother was rather harsh towards you yesterday and caused you distress. Let me apologize to you. This Zhao Mama is truly City'er's wet nurse, and Mother has always trusted her deeply. I never expected that she would act in such a way for personal gain. Mother neglected you."

Feng Lingxi heard the old empress dowager's words and hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty is too serious. As Zhao Ma ma's granddaughter-in-law, I also made a mistake. I failed to trust you and even spoke harshly to you. Please forgive me."

The Old Princess pulled her hand, a face full of gentle smiles.

“Then let's just forget about it. Cheng'er finally married a wife, but something happened to her, and she is missing. The Empress Dowager knows that the Emperor marrying you off to Cheng'er at this time might be unfair to you, but please believe your Empress Dowager, I will treat you as my own daughter from now on and will never let anyone bully you. You must also believe that Cheng'er will definitely come back.”

Feng Lingxi looked at her mother's loving eyes, this sudden change made her very uneasy.

Yesterday she played the role of an evil mother-in-law, and today she says these things. I wonder if she wants me to take her to see a doctor that's why she's saying this.

"Mother empress, your daughter-in-law believes that the lord will surely return safely."

The Old Madam nodded with satisfaction, "Come, these are all dishes prepared specially for you by the Imperial Concubine. I don't know what you like to eat, so I had them prepare everything."

"Thank you, Mother."

Feng Lingxi accompanied her after breakfast and began to take the old princess's pulse. Looking at her complexion today was ruddy, and she didn't seem short of breath, Feng Lingxi carefully examined her.

"Mother, do you feel like your breathing is more smooth today Are you not struggling to catch your breath"

"Not bad, I don't feel unwell anywhere today."

Wind Ling Xi got up, “Mother concubine, may this daughter-in-law go to your bedroom”

But there's a problem with the bedroom

Feng Lingxi looked at her nervously and soothed, "Mother concubine, the daughter-in-law just wants to go to the bedroom to see if there is anything wrong. Today, your complexion is relatively better than yesterday. Perhaps you might find something in the bedroom."

When the Old Madam heard this, her heart skipped a beat. “Could it be that Xier means someone is framing Mother” few words to him. Someone like him who clings to power for his own benefit, how could he tolerate it I figured that since I let him go, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me. He then insulted me ver...
