Chapter 144: Brawl on the Bed 108

ken the trouble to bring you back.Along the way, she didn't know how many threats he had eliminated for her, but he did."Then go back and deal with it. Although I'm not interested in the position of H...Du Gu Cheng hurriedly accompanied a smile and said, "My love, please calm your anger. This king was just joking with you."

Feng Lingxi frowned, letting out a cold snort. "Not funny at all."

Knowing her temperament, Du Gu Cheng didn't dare to continue talking with her and changed the subject.

"Xier, the crown princess should come to our residence tomorrow. When she arrives, you should still say what you need to say. My wife and I must put on a good show, we mustn't ruin my facade."

Feng Ling Xi responded, "Since I've agreed to go with you, I'll do everything I can. Your Highness, please rest assured."

"Your Majesty believes in you."

Looking into his doting eyes, it seemed like he believed everything she said. His tone and gaze made Feng Lingxi's ears burn. His eyes were too intense.

After dinner, Dugu Cheng didn't go to sleep right away. He went out for a walk. Feng Lingxi rested in the room according to Dugu Cheng's instructions and studied her pills for a while before going to bed early. When Dugu Cheng returned, it was already late at night. He tucked her in with the quilt and lay on the floor beside the bed, obediently without any complaint whatsoever.

The next morning, a sharp cry came from Shui Ci Fei's courtyard, which quickly spread throughout the entire Si Wangfu.

Feng Ling Xi woke up, looking at the drowsy Du Gu Cheng with a puzzled expression.

What happened

Dugu City got up and walked out. Yexi stepped forward and reported, "My lord, Shui Cifei she..."

"What's wrong with her"

Feng Lingxi heard of the Shui Side Concubine, her face changed drastically. Could that woman have committed suicide last night

If that's the case, then Dugu City is truly in trouble this time.

Last night, Shui Ci Fei and her maidservant got together.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of helplessness.

Feng Ling Xi lightly coughed twice, "Your Highness, are you jealous again"

"What does 'greened again' mean"

Dugu Cheng looked at her, his brows furrowed. "Xi'er, this king is very angry now. This king is going to see the Empress's niece. You accompany this king."

"That lord, please wait for me a moment, I'll freshen up."

Feng Ling hurriedly washed up and followed Dugu Cheng to Shui Ce Fei's courtyard. Seeing the maids kneeling on the ground, Dugu Cheng strode in with a stern face. Shui Ce Fei and the guard were already tied up, their clothes disheveled, and the room was in disarray.

The Concubine by the Water saw Dugu City and Feng Lingxi arrive, and hurriedly cried out, "Your Highness, I'm innocent, I truly didn't..."

"What is there"

Dugu City roared, slamming his fist on the table. "Shui Side Concubine, this king promised the Empress yesterday to compensate you for your wedding night and keep you by my side. You said you wouldn't marry my deputy general, yet you are with the guards you brought here in my mansion! Even if you wanted revenge on me, there was no need to be so cruel. Don't you want the entire Yuanxing Dynasty to laugh at me"

The concubine Shui Ci shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your Highness, it's not like that. I swear, I'm innocent! I don't know what happened last night at all. When I woke up, this is how things were."

"Concubine Shui, last night it was you who told me to enter your room. Xiang Ding can testify, she was the one who told me that you wanted to see me. As soon as I came in, you extinguished the lights and said you liked me, then took off your clothes and hugged me…"

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing the guard's words, Consort Shui angrily shouted and raised her hand, slapping him with a resounding blow.

"How could I possibly say such things Who told you to frame me like this"

The Shui Side Consort glared at the guard, his eyes filled with pain.

"For something like this, how could I, a mere guard, dare to disrespect the Prince's concubine It was the Princess who wanted revenge on the Prince, knowing that I have long admired you, she found me. I risked my life for you, yet you refuse me like this. Could all those words we shared last night be lies"

The guard's eyes were red and swollen. He looked at the scissors beside him, got up and snatched them, holding them to his neck. His eyes were fixed on Shui Side Concubine, "Since you want to be your side concubine, why do you still want me to be with you"

"I... I don't."

The Shui side concubine looked at the scissors in his hand, her voice trembling, "Put down the scissors, you..."

"What happened"

Princess Zhao Ran arrived with her maidservant. Having heard that Feng Ling Xi came to Shui Side Concubine's courtyard, she thought Feng Ling Xi was here to cause trouble and wanted to join in the fun, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

The imperial concubine and a man were kneeling on the ground, their clothes disheveled. This...

Feng Lingxi saw that Princess Zhaoran had arrived, and hurriedly bowed, "This concubine greets the Crown Princess. I didn't know the Crown Princess was arriving, please forgive this concubine's rudeness."

Princess Zhaoran stared at the scene before her, half a breath before she came back to her senses.

“What… what happened”

Her mother and father brought her here to see Feng Lingxi, but now this has become a scene of Shui Yinrou being caught in adultery

“The Crown Princess’ arrival was ill-timed. This King's concubine was caught cheating with a guard last night and discovered by those in the courtyard. It shames this King, allowing the Crown Princess to see such a spectacle.” Dugu Cheng's face was grim, one might even think he was genuinely angry. Only Feng Lingxi knew that this man was acting.

If she hadn't known the truth, she would have really believed he was angry.

Princess Zhao looked at Shui Side Concubine and hurriedly asked, "Shui Side Concubine, what's going on"

Mercury wished to explain, but the guards around her watched her, the scissors on his neck already drawing blood. Watching the blood flow down his neck, Mercury wept even harder.

"My empress, it's all my fault. He has nothing to do with this."

The guard's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Shui Yin Rou's words, his gaze filled with emotion and his eyes brimming with tears.

Shui Yingrou looked at Dugu City, “My lord, I’m sorry to you. Last night you brought me back and said you wanted to have a wedding with me. Forgive me, I can't do it. This marriage wasn't something I wished for in the first place. The man I love has always been him, even though he's just a guard, we've both loved each other for a long time. What happened last night was indeed my idea. If you want to punish me, then punish me, just please, spare him.”

"Miss."

The guard shouted, Mercury softly looked at him with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Shui Yinrou's lips bled, and Feng Lingxi rushed to her side, supporting her. Shui Yinrou then went limp.

She committed suicide by biting her tongue.

"Yin Rou, wait for me."

Then the guard, after finishing his words, took a pair of scissors and pierced his own neck. Blood splattered everywhere, and he fell beside Shuiyinrou, his hand tightly grasping hers.

The scene of the original adultery bust was now a river of blood. The soft-spoken servants and bodyguards had bitten their tongues to commit suicide, stabbing themselves. Du Guling's face was as dark as ink. Even the Zhao Ran County Lord who came to watch the spectacle was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that she couldn't recover for a long time.

"Your Highness, Consort Shui has passed away."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City's angry expression, and at Shui Side Consort who had lost her spirit, she couldn't understand what was going on.or's body was just being detoxified.Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment and added, "The Emperor's body at that time was incapable of conceiving."Empress Cen widened her eyes, staring at Feng Lingxi's ey...
