eng Aotian took out a box from his bosom and handed it to her, “This is for you. It’s not some precious item. Since this is your first time accompanying me on a campaign, consider this a little compen..."No, Luo Zhe is only responsible for passing messages to the Empress Dowager. Luo Side Concubine is in charge of monitoring every move we make in our manor. Even that little Ju is not someone to be trifled with."
Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Wind Ling nodded, she also had this intention. These days, these concubines were too arrogant, almost making her forget her own status.
I intend to have her attend me tonight.
"What"
Dugu Cheng frowned, "Are you sure"
"If this Concubine Luo agrees, she will observe. If not, I believe she will soon take action." These days, monitoring Concubine Luo, she has no feelings for Duke Gucheng, let alone sleeping with him. Plus, what happened before with her pregnancy, tonight she will definitely find an excuse to refuse to sleep with him.
"Just do it according to Xi'er's wishes. This king will inform him."
As Feng Lingxi said, when arranging for Luo Side Concubine to sleep with the emperor, Luo Side Concubine stammered and refused, saying that Gui Shui had arrived and she was unable to attend.
Feng Lingxi asked Xiao Li and the other maids, at this crucial moment, Concubine Kwai Shui of the Luo side had not come.
That night, the person sent by Dugu City went. Although Luo Side Concubine resisted, she was still tossed all night and wasn't released until dawn.
Xiao Li told Feng Ling Xi that when Luo Side Concubine got up, her complexion was bad and her mood was very low. She tidied up hurriedly and left the palace, going to Luo Mansion.
"Dad, I've had enough! This Du Gu Cheng is not human at all. No matter what you do, I don't want to stay there anymore."
Luo Xue returned to the Luo residence and flew into a rage, complaining about how she had been abused by Du Gucheng. “He doesn’t like me at all, he just wants me to give him a child, he doesn’t treat me as a human being, I think he’s sick.”
Luo Zhe listened to her accusation, not angry at all.
"The Empress Dowager gave all the grain she was supposed to send him to us. You just have to endure this for a while, and when we finish the Empress Dowager's task, your father will take you away."
How much longer
Luo Xue clenched her fists, “Yesterday Feng Lingxi already spoke up, revealing our plan to hoard grain. Father, I'm worried they are targeting us.”
"How is that possible They don't even know we're the Empress Dowager's people. Besides, with the current court situation, the Empress Dowager holds the upper hand. Once we bring down Dugu City and obtain the Yao Clan's treasure, you can have anything you want, Father."
"Father, but my innocence is gone, who will marry me now!"
Luo Xueqi stomped her foot angrily, "I don't want to act anymore! Feng Lingxi is so arrogant and high-nosed, I don't want to go back!"
Then there was Shu Taifei, she too nitpicked at her. She didn't even mind them, but she minded that she came.
"As long as you complete Ta-i's task, any man in this world, whoever you want to marry, will do."
Luo Zhe looked at his daughter, "You're still young, it's nothing."
But last night Dugu Cheng came to bother me again. If this continues, if I become pregnant…
"I'll go back after taking the medicine, won't get pregnant."
Lu Zhe kept soothing Luo Xue, looking at her pitiful appearance with helpless eyes.
"Don't forget, the reason we have today is all thanks to Empress Dowager. Besides, isn't Dugu City handsome If you truly have feelings for him, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. At that time, we can just switch sides and support Feng Ling Xi..." Luo Zhe made a slashing motion across his throat.
"This empress position is yours, after all. When the time comes, we'll install Dugu City as emperor, he'll be the emperor, and you'll be the empress."
Luo Xue heard this, and the anger on her face finally subsided somewhat.
"Dad, you're so thoughtful."
"This is nature, none of us are perfect, we just rely on whoever we can trust."
This is a placeholder for content.
Luo Xue nodded, "Father, about that Du Gu Cheng saying he wants grain from us, should we agree"
Of course, how do I say it, you're also his concubine. If he needs grain, we should give it to him. Besides, we have plenty of grain. This way, your status in the palace will definitely improve quite a bit.
Once Luo Xue thought this way, she felt much better in her heart.
"Father, so who should we help first, the Empress Dowager or Duke Dugu"
"Look on, look on."
Luozhe patted his daughter's head, "Go back and tell Dugu City to come get the grain."
Neither Dugu Cheng nor Feng Lingxi expected that Luo Xue, after her trip, would have such a changed attitude. She was now smiling sweetly and treating both Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng with kindness.
"Sister, Lord Wang, my father said that if you want grain, just go to him."
Feng Lingxi watched Dugu Cheng's slightly furrowed brows and smiled, saying, "Sister really is quite talented."
"Sister, can I keep you company with the King this evening"
Luo Xue shyly glanced at Dugu City, “Actually, I’ve always had a lot of things I wanted to say to Your Highness, but I just didn’t know how to start.”
"I don't know how to say it, so I won't."
Du Gucheng's words made Luo Xue's face stiffen, Feng Lingxi glared at Du Gucheng, "Your Royal Highness means that he will go and take care of it."
"Sister, my little sister didn't mean to say this, but…"
"Don't worry, sister won't fight you for favor. Besides, your body is recovering well now, and wanting to give the prince a son and daughter is understandable."
Wind Ling Xi's words made Luo Xue quite anxious. All she wanted was to have a good talk with Du Gu Cheng, but every time it was just about business. This wasn't what she had in mind at all.
"The younger sister just wants to speak with the Duke."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You talk to her tonight, don't always be so bullheaded."
Dugu City's lips twitched slightly. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered if he spoke
"If you have something to say, just say it here."
"My lord..."
Luo Xue shyly glanced at Feng Ling Xi, "It's not good to be in front of elder sister."
Feng Lingxi stood up, "Then I'll step aside first. You guys can talk."
Watching Feng Lingxi leave, Dugu City secretly groaned. Luo Xue's reaction today was really strange, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
"My lord, I know you don't like to talk to me, but when I went back recently, my father told me that we should communicate more with you to improve our relationship."
"The matter of grain and forage has been settled. This matter, this king will keep in mind."
Dugu City looked at Luo Xue, "But there is one thing you need to understand, this king's feelings for you only exist in the bedroom."
Luo Xue's face instantly paled, looking at Dugu Cheng's cold gaze, she bit her lip and asked, "Is the King like this to his sister as well"
"Doesn't this king feel the same about her too"
Luoxue thought about how Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi had been together just now, they seemed to have the same attitude.
Furiously stamping her feet, Luo Xue's face was full of displeasure, but she dared not speak a word.
"Wait for this king at night."
獨孤城丟下一句話，便離開了。
Feng Lingxi watched from afar at Luo Xue's attitude, then looked at Du Gucheng walking towards her, her eyebrows raised slightly, "Why don't you listen to what she says"
"Too flirtatious, it's annoying to look at."
Dugu Cheng dragged Feng Lingxi back to the room, "I'm afraid Luo Ze wants to betray us."
"So, you're saying Luo Zhe wants to take your side"u City had arrived, hurriedly put down what she was doing and ran out.Dugu City and Luoli and others all arrived. The number of people traveling was not large, they were all settled in the inn. Dugu C...
