ingle line of characters allowed Feng Lingxi to sense that the person was extraordinary."Your Majesty, is he from the Yao tribe"Xiaoli saw the embroidery and immediately understood. No wonder that per...Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng clutching her wrist, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can you guarantee you won't cough tonight"

"This..."

This cough wasn't something he could control either, just like now. He had the urge to cough, and he tried to hold it in, but it was impossible for him to do so for very long. He couldn't help himself after all.

"Don't worry, it will be alright soon, just wait for me."

Feng Ling Xi pulled away from him, heading towards the kitchen.

"Your Highness, you coughed again"

Ye Xi walked in, glanced at the queen who had gone out, and hurried forward to help Dugu Cheng regulate his breath.

"Yexi, is this household safe Xi'er looks exhausted and still has to make food for me. I'm a bit worried about her."

"My Lord, the Princess is not the same as she was before. She's skilled in martial arts, and quite formidable. Most importantly, this is the Lu residence, isn't it With so many eyes and ears from the Lu family, nothing will happen."

"It's all this king's body that is weak, making Xi'er work so hard."

"My lord, you can't say it like that. Think about it, if you weren't in this state right now, the princess wouldn't be so anxious about you, wouldn't even be making medicine for you this late at night. I think the princess is just too worried about you to be this hard-working."

Ye Xi helped the King adjust his position, "Later, Your Majesty, come up with a way to keep your Consort here to look after you. This way, you'll have more opportunities to spend time together. Once this opportunity arises, the rest is up to Your Majesty."

"What do you want to say Xi'er is like that"

Ye Xi pouted, being tough.

"My Lord, every matter needs a start. Tell me about the Crown Princess, she came so late to take care of you. If she had no feelings for you, would she come to care for you In my humble opinion, the Crown Princess must have known that five years ago, Your Lordship drove her away to protect her. She feels guilty in her heart and wants to make amends, but given her personality, she definitely won't bring it up proactively. Therefore, I think it would be better if Your Lordship took the initiative."

"How to attack"

Ye Xi's story was well-structured, and Dugu City thought about how Xi'er might have changed her opinion of him, it seemed to be related to this matter.

"My Lord, I dare to ask, how are you feeling If the Princess Consort were to spend the night with you..."

獨孤城被夜希的話嗆得夠嗆，瞪了他一眼。

"What nonsense are you talking about This king would never do such a thing, stop being foolish."

Although Dugu Cheng said so, his heart was pounding wildly. Deep down, he still hoped that Xi'er would stay, just like Ye Xi had said.

"My Lord, I know you are not such a person. Then let the Empress act first, just like how the Empress forced you back then. This way, wouldn't the Empress be closer to you"

Ye Xi smiled with a calculating glint in her eyes, and Dugu Cheng suddenly gave her a whack on the head.

"What's on your mind"

He even dared to think about this, he knew Xi'er's personality very well, it would be impossible for her to take the initiative.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid. Someone has to take this step anyway. Otherwise, how can you reconcile It's been so long since your wedding, and you're still being so shy and hesitant, acting like you've never even gotten married."

Ye Xi mumbled, having eaten another mouthful of chestnuts. Dugu Cheng glared at him, "Go clean the stables, and while you're at it, sweep your brain."

Ye Xi raised her eyes, looking at the King, and sighed, "My subordinate obeys."

He knew that with the Prince's courage, he could never win the heart of the princess. Sure enough, all good things never came his way.

As Ye Xi walked away, Dugu City's mood also calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, what Ye Xi said seemed to make some sense. If he kept his distance from Xi’er, there was probably no chance of getting back together.

Feng Ling xi offered Du Gu Cheng a bowl of snow pear and river clam sugar water. This is all he could manage to drink right now.

"Xi'er, is this snow pear soup"

The scent was quite pleasant. Dugu Cheng's lips curled into a smile as he watched Feng Lingxi bring him the cup, ready to get up and take it.

"I'll bring it to you, don't get out of bed."

Feng Lingxi walked over and said, “This one with Chuanbei added has a pretty good cough-suppressing effect, and it tastes quite sweet.”

"Xier, you've worked so hard. It's so late and you still made this for me."

Looking at Feng Ling Xi's dark circles under her eyes, Du Gu Cheng's eyes were full of heartache.

Feng Lingxi didn't mind at all, she smiled faintly and said, "If you drink it all up, and don't cough anymore, I won't feel tired."

獨孤城 took it, "Good, this king will drink it all, not a drop left."

Feng Lingxi watched as Dugu City really held up and drank it, feeling very pleased. Just now when she was brewing it, she was still wondering if Dugu City would like such a sweet taste, so she deliberately put in less sugar.

"Is it more comfortable now"

Feng Ling Xi saw him finish a bowl, and hurriedly asked, although she knew it wouldn't have such a quick effect, she was still curious to ask.

"My throat feels much better, thank you."

Wind Lingxi put the bowl on the table, "Then you get some rest early, I'll make this for you again tomorrow. It's late now."

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Ling Xi yawn, knowing she must be tired. He wanted to keep her, but didn't know how to ask. He also couldn't bear to see her leave.

"Then I'll walk you out."

"No need, I..."

Feng Lingxi's words were not yet finished when she suddenly felt dizzy, her body swayed violently, and she fell to the ground. Dugu City was frightened and hurriedly ran down from the couch, rushed over to pick up Feng Lingxi, and asked nervously, "Xier, what's wrong with you"

Wind Ling Xi opened her eyes, feeling dizzy.

"I just feel so dizzy."

Dugu Cheng reached out and touched her forehead. She didn't have a fever.

"Aren't you too tired"

Dugu Cheng placed Feng Lingxi on the bed, his anxiety palpable.

"I'll go call the doctor for you..."

Dugu Cheng got up, his hand was grabbed by Dugu Cheng, “I am the doctor, I know my pulse best.”

After finishing her speech, Feng Lingxi placed her hand on her own wrist and began to feel her pulse. She gave an awkward smile and said, "It really is a bit empty."

"Then sleep well, don't come back."

獨孤城 tucked the blanket around Feng Lingxi, "I'll sleep on the floor here later."

Wind Ling Xi was shocked upon hearing this, "You..."

"What's the matter Back when this king first married you, didn't we always sleep on the ground I'm already used to it."

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi think of when they first got married, their way of getting along. Now, after several years, the scene was replayed, but their hearts had changed.

"What can your body digest"

Feng Lingxi was worried. He had rushed down impulsively now, what if he caught a cold at night What should they do then

"Why don't you give it a try"

Dugu City suddenly asked, Feng Lingxi was stunned. Dugu City reached out and gently tapped her nose, "Go to sleep, I'm a man, it's nothing."

Feng Lingxi lay down for a while, her head no longer spinning. She watched Dugu Cheng hugging the blanket on the ground, those skilled movements, as if she were back when they first got married. But now, they had been married for eight years, yet the scene was replayed.art, and she is the same way. Once she vents, she'll be fine.Li Wuyan quickly answered, his brows furrowed, "How was Wan'er taken""Still under investigation, but her whereabouts have been found. She...
