Chapter 29 I Won't Peek

ompany this king to a meal later This king has had the kitchen prepare many delicious dishes for you to replenish your body."Hearing about replenishing her body, Feng Ling Xi immediately remembered th...As soon as she reached the screen, Du Gu Cheng pulled her into his arms, holding her captive. Feng Ling Xi struggled out of his embrace and shouted angrily, "What are you doing"

"Let me see your arm." Dugu City grabbed her arm, looking at the bruise on Shou Palace Sand's location, his eyes full of anger.

How could Zhao Ma ma be so cruel This level of force, is she used to using corporal punishment

Feng Ling Xi saw him getting angry and withdrew her hand.

"It's fine, but you almost got me killed just now."

Du Gu Cheng pulled her aside and sat down, reaching out to rub the bruised area. "Where's your medicine Let me rub it for you, or else the bruise will be hard to look at."

Feng Ling Xi withdrew her hand again, looking at his current actions, her face darkened as she reminded him, "Don't forget your current situation, and the promise you made to me. I and you are no longer related, I can handle my own affairs."

Looking at him like this, she was truly worried about being entangled with him.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you. If it weren't for the fact that you were hurt because of me, I wouldn't even bother with you."

獨孤城 let go of her hand, "Go apply some medicine. I'll stay here for two days and then leave." It was really strange, how could he feel sorry for her He married her just to take revenge on her, but when he saw Zhao Mama pinch her hand until it turned purple, he felt a pang of sympathy and wanted to teach Zhao Mama a lesson.

Dugu City shook off the thoughts in his mind. He didn't believe he would have feelings for a woman who was stronger than him and looked down on him.

It seems he has been with her for a long time and treats her like family.

Feng Lingxi lowered her sleeves and said in a cold voice, "It's best to know your own identity and situation. Leave when it's time."

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with you being the Fourth Royal Princess. I know you are recognized now, and I wouldn't want to stand in your way."

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Ling Xi's face even darker. She didn't need to explain anything to him about what she did. No matter what he thought, the fact was they had nothing to do with each other anymore, and there was no need for her to explain anything to him.

Turning around and stepping out from behind the screen, Luo Yi walked to the dressing table and began preparing the ointment. Alone in the room, Dugu Cheng watched her, a strange sense of irritation welling up within him.

What on earth is going on

Seeing her being hurt, how could he not feel sympathy

This shouldn't be him, where does this woman deserve his sympathy.

Feng Ling prepared the ointment, Xia Li brought hot water, Cheng Xin and Cheng Yi guarded outside with their whole hearts. Only Xia Li knew about Duguo City's existence. With the hot water ready, Xia Li kept looking at the screen behind her. The man was inside the room. How did the princess bathe

"Your Majesty, you may bathe now."

Little Li whispered, looking at the screen behind her, a little worried that Dugu City would peek at the princess bathing.

"Xiao Li, you stay here and watch over things. I'm going out for a bit."

Feng Lingxi got up and took the clothes from the cabinet. After changing, she jumped out the window. Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi leave the room and hurriedly chased after her. He watched as she climbed over the wall out of the palace, evading the servants' gazes. Her nimble movements reminded him of that night when she had been so ruthless towards him.

Could it be that Feng Lingxi, besides being skilled in medicine, is also highly proficient in martial arts and a master of combat

If that were truly the case, how could rumors spread that she was a foolish and incompetent fool

Feng Lingxi left the mansion and went to the doctor's, bought some medicine, and returned home. It had already been half an hour. Xiaoli saw her return and quickly said, "Your Highness, he followed you out too."

Feng Lingxi replied, "I know."

Dugu Cheng then climbed through the window and into the room, looking at Feng Lingxi, "You bathe, I won't peek."

Feng Lingxi remained silent, watching him instinctively retreat behind the screen. She instructed Xiao Li, "Bring him some hot water later so he can wash up."

"Your Majesty, do you truly believe he wouldn't peek"

Little Li was very uneasy. Standing behind the screen, she stared intently at Dugu City with both eyes, afraid that he would harm the princess.

"If he really wanted to peek, do you think you could stop him"

He did believe that, Dugu City wouldn't peek. This man followed her, just wanting to see what she was doing. She didn't need to hide anything, it wasn't like she was doing something secretive. It was just buying some herbs, there was no need to be coy about it.

Feng Lingxi bathed and changed her clothes. Dugu City hid behind a screen until she finished bathing and heard her say it was done, then he came out.

"You just went out to buy herbs, were you making medicine for the old Empress"

He knew very well about his mother's illness. Over the years, he had sought many imperial physicians to treat her, but none of them had been effective. If she could truly cure his mother's illness, then her medical skills would be extraordinary.

"I'm just trying it out, I don't have complete confidence."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "I'm not resting this quickly. You just wash up and go to sleep later."

Dugu City walked to sit in front of her, "There's something I want to ask you."

Feng Lingxi raised her head and looked into his serious eyes, frowning. This man seemed to be contacting her too frequently.

"If one day you discover someone is deceiving you, what would you do"

Feng Lingxi looked at him, her brows furrowed. "What kind of person"

"It's the people you know, the ones who are connected to you in some way."

Du Gucheng wondered, if one day she found out that he had schemed for her to marry him and pretended not to know as they spent so long together, what would Feng Lingxi do to him

"Consider the seriousness of the situation."

"What would be serious"

Feng Lingxi, clutching the medicinal herbs, suddenly squeezed her hand. The jar containing the herbs shattered in her grasp. Though the jar wasn't particularly well-made, the force with which she crushed it was terrifying.

That's it.

Feng Lingxi pushed the jar in front of him, watching Dugu Cheng's panic in his eyes, and asked coldly, "You still haven't told me, what's your name."

"My name is..."

Dugu Cheng looked at her, shaking his head after a long pause.

"I don't remember." Faking amnesia, if she knew he was the Fourth Prince who had died in battle according to her words, she wouldn't know what to do with him.

"Don't you remember"

Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at his bewildered eyes. He didn't seem to be lying.

Alone City simply made up a story, "I can't remember. That day you... after that, my subordinates found me and didn't tell me his name. They just called him 'Master.'"

Feng Lingxi coldly scanned him with her eyes, and said in a flat tone, "Since you've lost your memory, then pretend nothing ever happened."

"How could this happen, you ruined my innocence, I..."

Before Dugu Cheng could finish his words, Feng Lingxi suddenly reached out and grabbed his chin, staring at him with cold eyes and warning in a frigid voice, “I’ll say this again, from now on, pretend nothing of this ever happened. Do you understand”

Du Gucheng was startled by her gaze and bearing. Was she afraid he would expose their relationship Or was there something else, that made her look down on him like this king's patience is also limited."After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he left with Feng Ling Xi.Feng Aotien still wanted to chase after, Luoli stopped him. Looking at Luoli, Feng Aotien's face was a b...
