this"Shutai asked with concern, Feng Lingxi raised her eyes and glanced at Dugu Cheng. Seeing that he was also bewildered, it shouldn't have been him who told his mother."Mother, the Empress wants her...Feng Aotian narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in his gaze.

"Fourth Princess, are you truly going to speak to me like this"

Feng Lingxi raised her hand, glanced at the sky where snowflakes were falling, and smiled.

"National Guardian General, the weather is about to snow. Shouldn't you go back and avoid being buried by this heavy snowfall If that happens, no one will be able to find you."

Feng Aotian stared at her, his eyes growing colder, the killing intent in them becoming increasingly apparent.

Feng Aotien wanted to kill her. Feng Lingxi saw the killing intent in Feng Aotien's eyes, but even so, she wouldn't bow her head and make a deal with him.

"I do hope you can always be this confident."

Feng Aotian turned around, his figure gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.

Feng Lingxi let out a breath, her mood complicated.

Feng Aotian suddenly came to her and said these things. Duguo City probably didn't know, it seemed that Feng Aotian wouldn't let it go just like that, he would definitely come to find her again.

"My Queen, how did you get out"

Xiao Li's body has fully recovered, but Feng Lingxi is worried about her health and extended her vacation.

"Just now, Feng Aotiān came to me and asked if I wanted to know about my parents. I refused."

Feng Lingxi gazed ahead, "Xiao Li, if he truly possessed such abilities, why would he come before me and speak these words He could have simply seized our parents and handed them over to Feng Yu Xi. Wouldn't that have allowed him to obtain what he desired"

"But what did he want The slave girl truly couldn't understand."

Xiao Li was at a loss, Feng Ling Xi turned her head and glanced at Xiao Li, "I don't understand either." After finishing her words, she walked into the house and didn't want to come out.

Xiao Li followed the princess's footsteps. During this time, the princess had been staying at the mansion and enjoying herself. It was rumored that the king favored the princess every night, and everyone in the mansion said that the princess was about to give birth to a little prince for the royal family. Even Wan'er was clamoring for a younger brother.

"My lady, there is something I don't understand."

Xiao Li followed Feng Ling Xi, hearing Feng Ling Xi's response, she spoke, "I heard from Ye Xi that all the women chosen by Shu Taifei before were arranged by Xinshui. Although they didn't do anything wrong, I don't understand why Xinshui would do this."

"Be jealous."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a smile, "When I was jealous of the Ghost Saint Nation, Luo Li treated me and Wan'er well. She suspected that Wan'er was Luo Li's illegitimate daughter." Speaking of this, Feng Lingxi suddenly felt quite depressed. She kept her distance from these men, but she still easily got entangled with them.

"Is this mind sick"

Xiao Li complained, "Which eye saw Wan'er like the tribe leader."

"Just ignore her, it's none of our business how she chooses to do things."

Wind Ling was feeling sleepy and went back to her room for a nap. The weather in winter makes people feel tired after eating, especially these days with all the trouble she's been going through. She felt like she could never get enough sleep.

Shutai's attitude towards Feng Lingxi remained the same as always. Although her memory hadn't recovered, she still received this nourishing soup every day, even on snowy days, without fail. Besides that, there was Dugucheng, who returned home to accompany her every day. This nightly commotion could be said to be a daily occurrence.

The year-end is approaching in the blink of an eye, and in half a month it will be Chinese New Year. Since Feng Aotiantian found her, Feng Lingxi has not heard from him for half a month. Dugucheng didn't mention his affairs either, as if this person had calmed down again.

"It's been over a month now, why isn't your belly reacting at all"

During dinner time, Empress Dowager Shu looked at Feng Lingxi's stomach with a puzzled expression. That suspicious look made Feng Lingxi hurriedly explain, "Mother Empress, I really haven't taken any contraceptive medicine." Perhaps the tossing and turning was too intense, or maybe it wasn't so easy to get pregnant.

But, more than a month has passed She hasn't noticed at all.

"What day of the month is it"

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Shu Taifei, her expression momentarily stunned.

Message from the moon

"Mother, what day is it today"

"There's only half a month left until the Chinese New Year, you wouldn't even know the date, would you"

"So fast"

Feng Lingxi frowned. Had she been too comfortable lately She couldn't even remember the days.

"My Lady, I seem to recall that you arrived just these past few days."

Little Li opened her mouth, Feng Ling Xi replied with an "Oh," and said, “That should be right then.”

After she finished speaking, Feng Lingxi suddenly remembered the end of the year before Shu Taifei could speak. She stood up, "Xiao Li, come with me for a moment. I seem to have forgotten important matters." With the end of the year approaching, it was time to settle accounts with the Yao clan. This period had been unusually quiet from them, with no news whatsoever. The imperial court had also been silent, making her almost forget the passage of time.

Shù Taifei saw the wind was fierce and wanted to leave, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"The soup has been drunk."

"I'm done, I have something else to do."

Feng Lingxi only left behind a single sentence. Shu Taifei looked at the bowl of soup, feeling frustrated. "Always busy, busy, busy, yet you can't even manage to give me a grandson!"

Du Gucheng, upon returning home, learned that his mother had inquired about Feng Lingxi's pregnancy. Back in his chamber, he saw mountains of account books piled before Feng Lingxi.

"I'm back. You go to sleep first. I still have a lot of account books to look through, so I won't keep you company."

Feng Lingxi yawned and continued to review the ledger. Her small hands were frozen, and the breath she exhaled was almost condensing into frost.

Dugu Cheng walked to her side and sat down, casually picking up a ledger and flipping through it, his brows furrowed.

"Why don't you find someone to take charge You do everything yourself, aren't you tired"

He's been working hard enough lately, and he even has the energy to look at the ledger. Dugu Cheng suspected that he had relaxed too much, making Xi'er feel that he was weak and hadn't served her well.

"These are all brought to me for a purpose. Since I'm at the foot of Yaozu's mountain, of course I have to take a look, so that I know whether or not I have money myself."

"Don't I still owe you a million silver taels"

Dugu Cheng teased, Feng Lingxi didn't even lift her head, "That was a joke, I wouldn't lie to Mother Empress. You know this Yao Clan is different from the one in Ghost Saint Nation. If I can't even manage here, how could I possibly set foot there."

Feng Lingxi closed the ledger and looked up at Dugu City who was staring at her. She snatched the ledger from his hand.

"Go to sleep, I didn't drink the soup tonight. You just came back, you probably don't need to drink it either."

Dugu Cheng nodded, looking at Xi'er's serious face. "Do you want me to help you with one Let's speed things up."

Feng Lingxi pulled him up, "No need, you go to sleep. You're always busy, I can handle my own things."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Alright, then I'll go to sleep first."

Watching Dugu Cheng unbuckle his belt, Feng Lingxi returned to her position and continued reviewing the ledger, diligently recording.

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Lingxi seriously as she worked. With the New Year almost here, she had only just remembered to check the accounts. This period of time, Xi'er was truly quite muddled.

"Xier, the ancients said, 'A woman becomes foolish for three years after pregnancy.' Are you..."

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes and glared at Du Gu Cheng, "Are you going to sleep or not"

She was kept under close watch by her mother and forced to drink medicine every day, so all she could think about was her mother. She couldn't relax for a moment, and on top of that, he tormented her every night. He had the audacity to complain!
