."After finishing his story, he pulled Ah Man out and said as they walked, about the princess's fall from the cliff. Ah Man listened without a word.Feng Lingxi trailed behind them, her thoughts drifti...The Imperial Noble Consort Shu had thought that Huan Yue would agree, but who knew she would only collapse to the ground and sob loudly, without uttering a word of agreement to leave. After crying for just a while, this person fainted. The Imperial Noble Consort Shu's eyebrows furrowed, ordering someone to carry her back and fetch a doctor to examine her body.
This way, she could have a good check-up.
After examining her body, the physician merely said that the young lady had fainted from excessive sadness and that she was not weak or ill. The Imperial Dowager was not convinced, so she questioned the physician outside. She confirmed that Huan Yue's health was indeed normal.
That is to say, the phantom moon pretending to be weak in front of Cheng'er was all an act.
After sending the doctor away, Shutai sent for an experienced nurse to check Huan Yue's body while she was asleep. To Shutai's shock, Huan Yue was no longer a virgin, meaning she and Cheng'er had probably already consummated their marriage.
After confirming all this, Shutai was truly angry at her unambitious son. However, when she thought of Huan Yue and what she had said, she couldn't help but have doubts.
Huan Yue told her that she and Cheng'er had not crossed the line, so how could her body have been lost before she knew Cheng'er
Shu Taifei had more and more doubts about this phantom moon, but before she could ask Duguo City about it, she returned to the palace and learned that Phantom Moon had fainted. Duguo City and Shu Taifei had a big fight, and he took Phantom Moon from Shu Taifei's courtyard to his own.
The mother-son relationship was ruined because of this phantom moon.
The Imperial Noble Consort was so angry she almost fainted.
"My Lord, please let Yue'er go. Yue'er doesn't want to be a burden to you. Without Yue'er, you can be well."
When Huan Yue woke up, she learned that she had been forcibly examined. Her eyes widened in panic, and she begged to leave Du Gu Cheng's presence, even threatening suicide. This behavior infuriated Du Gu Cheng, deepening his disgust for Feng Ling Xi.
"Don't talk nonsense, if I can't even protect you, what kind of prince would I be"
"Dugu Cheng embraced Huan Yue in his arms and whispered softly, "Don't be afraid, Empress Dowager is just more fond of that woman, which is why she treats you like this. I'm fine, don't worry about the affairs in court, I can handle them."
Huan Yue raised her eyes, tears welling up as she looked at him.
"Everything the king said is true, don't ever lie to Yue'er."
"Nature is indeed true, when has this King ever deceived the moon"
Dugu Cheng's eyes were gentle like melting water, a stark contrast to his demeanor in public.
Ye Xi stood at the door, seeing the intimate scene inside, very unhappy.
"My Lord, the Emperor summons you to the palace. He wishes to discuss matters with you."
Just returned and no film, going out again, Huanyue's eyes are full of worry.
"My Lord..."
Dugu City reached out and touched her hair, softly comforting, "Be good and wait here for this king to return. This king will be back soon to accompany you."
Huan Yue nodded with tears in her eyes. Dugu Cheng reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, got up and walked out, glanced at Ye Xi at the door, his eyes suddenly turned cold, ordered someone to watch Huan Yue, then left.
"My lord, the Emperor and Empress are very displeased with you now. I just learned that the Yao clan has declared an end to all cooperation with the Great Yuan Dynasty. The Yao clan's secret guards have taken action, and all of the people sent by the Empress to negotiate were wiped out before they could even meet the princess."
"Keeps one looking."
Dugu City's face was still as cold as frost, and the coldness in his eyes worried Ye Xi.
"My lord, we don't know if the princess will handle this alone. What if the princess truly leaves and ignores you My lord, what then"
Dugu Cheng's footsteps never stopped, his eyes only held forbearance.
"Be careful with your words."
Ye Xi hurried to keep up with the king's footsteps, lowering her voice and saying, "Luo Li said that she would meet you at Tian Xiang Lou tonight."
Dugu City remained silent. Facing the strange looks from the crowd on the street, he rode away.
Feng Ling Xi was sitting in the garden admiring the flowers. As she sat there, she grew sleepy and fell asleep sprawled out on the ground. Luo Li walked over and saw this scene. She took her cloak and draped it over Feng Ling Xi. Looking at Xiao Li beside her, she lowered her voice.
"Why not let her go back to the house and rest"
"The Lord will not."
Today is the princess's saddest and most difficult day. For the princess, this day is truly long. Until now, the sun has not yet set. She hasn't eaten anything all day, just staring blankly. Just looking at her makes one feel heartbroken.
"Let her go back to rest. Sitting here isn't going to help."
Luo Li urged, "When you're pregnant, don't just think about yourself, think about the child too."
Xiao Li nodded, Luoli glanced at Feng Ling Xi, and left with worry.
Feng Lingxi opened her eyes. She woke up when Luo Li draped a cloak over her, but she didn't make a sound.
She didn't want to hear consolation from Luo Li.
"Lord, you are awake."
Little Li hurried forward, Feng Lingxi stood up, "Go back to the room and rest."
"Lord, you must be hungry. I heard that pregnant women are most prone to feeling sleepy and hungry…"
"Have some food brought up to my room, I'll eat something and take a nap later."
Xiao Li hurriedly instructed the maidservant beside her to prepare food and accompany her back to her room.
Feng Lingxi looked at the sun hanging in the sky and whispered, "Has this day not passed yet" Such a long day, she slept for just a moment, it was only the time of an incense stick.
"Lord, why don't you have Doctor Li come over later to chat with you"
"No need, Ayan is very busy too."
Feng Lingxi returned to her room, ate the food that was brought up, ate some casually, and then Feng Lingxi lay down.
Xiao Li came out and, seeing Li Wu Yan who had come to look for Feng Ling Xi, greeted him respectfully.
"The Lord has gone to sleep."
Li Wuyan glanced at the sky. "If she goes to sleep now, she'll probably be insomnia again when she wakes up in the middle of the night."
Xiao Li responded, “Today was truly especially difficult. The Holy Lord is very sad, and even when I spoke to her, it was useless.”
"I'll wake up later and talk to her with you."
Xiao Li hurriedly thanked him, and then Li Wu Yan left.
A gentle night breeze blew, and Feng Lingxi woke from her sleep. As she looked outside, the sky had already darkened. She got up, put on her clothes, and stood by the window, staring at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Her eyes were dim, and she reached out to touch her belly.
"Lord, you are awake."
Xiao Li heard the sound and came in. Seeing the princess standing by the window, she hurried forward to attend to her.
"It's so late, you don't need to wait on me, go to sleep."
Feng Lingxi turned without looking back, her voice carrying a hint of sadness.
"I'm not tired, I just took a nap."
Xiao Li looked at the princess like this, and softly asked, "Holy Lord, are you hungry I'll get you something to eat."
Feng Ling xi Ying Sheng, Xiao Li went out and closed the door.
A figure appeared at Feng Lingxi's window, looking at the sudden man. The visitor was wearing a mask, but Feng Lingxi recognized him from his familiar voice and breath.
"At three in the morning, the樓主 asked for me. Must be something important"
Dugu Cheng looked at her forlorn expression. He wasn't surprised by her appearance, nor was he filled with joy. All the sadness was etched on her face, she was heartbroken.
"Do you know I'm coming"d to heal Yu Mo's eyes and constantly checked on him. This kindness must be repaid well."Yumo, I'm so sorry. I've just been incredibly busy lately, so...""Sister, I don't blame you. I'm just worried a...
