how."My Lord, the Princess just cried. I tried to console her, but she drove me away."Dugu Cheng came out for some fresh air, and Xiaoli came out to report to him.The Queen was truly furious and full..."Your Highness, I truly don't know the chieftain's whereabouts. As the Crown Princess has told you, the chieftain dislikes me. After I left, I haven't dared to seek him out."

"Oh"

Dugu Cheng's evil eyes sized up Xinshui, who looked flustered under his gaze.

"Everything I said is true, I genuinely didn't know the chieftain had arrived in the capital."

"This king didn't say to make you do anything, just asking, what are you nervous about"

Dugu Cheng's words made Xin Shui let out a breath of relief, she had been so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat on this chilly day.

"Your Highness the Prince, this time I truly shouldn't have let my subordinates probe the Crown Princess' loyalty to you. I offer my deepest apologies for the offense caused, and hope Your Highness will overlook this transgression. Please don't hold it against me."

Xinshui has taken the initiative to apologize. Now that he has proven to be the owner of Dugu City's Tianxiang Building, knowing that he is someone he can't afford to offend and isn't his match, naturally, he has to lower his head and there's no need to pick a fight with him.

After all, her goal wasn't just Dugu City.

"Answer a few questions from this king, and this king will let bygones be bygones. How about it"

He was nodding his head vigorously, like a chick pecking at grain.

"You should be familiar with Mo Bing who left my side, right"

When it came to Mo Bing, Xinshui's teeth would itch with anger. "This despicable person, of course I know her."

"Then, do you know about the Evening of Wind and Rain"

Xinshui bit her lip, "Mo Bing is Feng Yu Xi, this woman belongs to Brother Li. She's good at disguises, her martial arts are not weak, and in the Great Yuan Dynasty, her identity was Feng Yu Xi, the elder sister of the Princess Chen."

"That's clear enough."

Dugu Cheng stared at Xin Shui's flustered expression, it seemed she really liked Luo Li. This woman once jealous lost her composure, and she was no exception.

"Your Highness, I told you, can you please let me go"

Xinshui regained her composure and feigned weakness, looking pitifully at Dugu City, trying to distract him.

"Where is she now, and in what capacity will she appear"

"I don't know about that. She does whatever her brother tells her to do. I really don't know what he makes her do, and he wouldn't tell me either." Xinshui quickly assured him, "I'm not lying to you. Mo Bing is Feng Yu Xi's identity under her brother's command. That's all I know."

"All your subordinates are women. Were the thirty extra women who appeared at my mother's residence previously sent by you"

Xinshui's expression changed slightly, but she nodded nonetheless.

"It was me. I just wanted to see if the relationship between Princess Consort Chen and King Chen was truly genuine."

After saying that, Xinshui hurriedly 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 Prince."

"How would Qing He explain this"

Mentioning Qing He, Xin Shui's face stiffened slightly, "I stumbled upon her by accident. That woman was greedy and craved wealth and status. I merely used her to test the waters. She really is dead."

Dugu City stared at the woman with longing. "You're telling me, the bride of Huangfu Qingyun is the one you kidnapped"

His head shook like a tambourine, "King Chen, this really isn't me. I truly didn't do such things, and neither did my subordinates. I assure you, it definitely wasn't me."

"Is that Mo Bing"

Xin Shui looked at him, "I'm not sure about that, but I really didn't do it. That's all I did."

"What's your relationship with Qiu'er"

Dugu Cheng swept over his heart, "Last question."

Xinshui bit her lip, "She's the one I want to kill."

"Make it clear."

Dugu Cheng's voice suddenly turned cold, Xin Shui was startled and hurriedly calmed her heart. Seeing Dugu Cheng's impatience, she quickly said, "She is my sister."

She is also the granddaughter of the Grand Elder.

This blood feud is interesting.

Nods in agreement, not saying more.

Dugu City stood up and warned in a cold voice, “If you keep messing around, next time it won't be as simple as getting a little blood.”

After finishing their words, they left with Ye Xi.

Her heart felt like it had been drained from her body. She slumped down in the chair, watching Dugu City's departing figure. In that moment of despair, she almost met her end.

This Dugu City is indeed the master of Tianxiang Building, and the legend of this child's tears is probably also true.

"Don't tell Xi'er about what happened today."

Yexi nodded. The king's actions today were indeed unexpected.

He hadn't seen the king this ruthless in ages, or rather, the one who was originally the landlord.

"My Lord, you exposed the identity of the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion in front of the water. If she spreads this, and it reaches the court, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Ye Xi reminded, Dugu City hummed, suddenly turned around, and shot a dart into the room. Xin Shui, who had just let out a sigh of relief, immediately regained his composure. The dart landed on a pillar not far from her. Xin Shui's face changed drastically. Looking around, he didn't leave. What did this dart mean

Xin Shui was a smart person. Recalling what Dugu Cheng had said, she quickly understood the meaning of his flying dart warning.

He didn't want today's events to spread.

Including the identity of the owner of Tianxianglou.

Ye Xi looked at the coldness in the King's eyes, "Your Highness, I don't understand, why not just kill them all"

Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Xi, "Have you been following Xiaoli recently Your brain isn't working properly. Killing them, would the Grand Elder spare Wan'er"

Ye Xi hurriedly lowered her head and touched her nose.

If he said he didn't have murderous intent, the Grand Elder would let Wan'er go just like before.

"These days, Xi'er is in a bad mood. You go and see if there are any interesting places nearby. Take Xi'er out for a walk."

"My Lord, wouldn't this be too unsafe And, my subordinate feels that lately, the Lady has been in a low mood, all because..."

Night Xi’s words reached his lips, but he hurriedly swallowed them back, smacking himself on the mouth. What nonsense was he talking about

The Queen was in a bad mood, this was all thanks to the King. Every night he pampered her yet she still hadn't conceived a little prince. If he were in her shoes, his mood wouldn't be good either.

"What is it"

"Ye Xi squeezed out a smile, 'I think it's just the weather.'"

Dugu Cheng let out a cold snort. Ye Xi followed with a smile, chasing after her master's footsteps, "It's snowing and raining today, the weather is cold, naturally the princess wouldn't be in a good mood."

"That was a pretty quick turnaround."

Ye Xi laughed twice, "If this wasn't spinning fast enough, my head would fly off!"

Feng Lingxi sneezed, and a cloak appeared on her back.

"My Queen, is something troubling you"

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I don't know why, but the pulse is still not there. Calculating the time, it shouldn't be."

"Your Highness, perhaps this pregnancy is progressing a bit slower, so there's no sign of the baby pulse yet. Don't worry, why not find something to relax and do"

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, glanced at the weather outside. The snow was falling again, and she didn't know how long this snowy day would last.

"Xiao Li, I want to go for a walk."

Although the weather is cold, it's rather boring to stay indoors every day.

Wherever the Princess wishes to go, I shall accompany her.

They've been married for so long now, and Xiao Mi's belly is big and she can't move around easily, so let's visit them."etray her No matter what Lu Nian said about Dugu City's hardships, the result was right there.
