Chapter 87: Fighting Under the Bed 51
coming out from inside. Zhang Shi had heard everything that happened inside, hearing Xier arguing with her and their family. She felt truly guilty towards Xier."Mother, how did you get out"Feng Aotian..."Even I can't satisfy Lian Xi'er, so how could I possibly satisfy other women."
Feng Lingxi heard his words, her face darkened, and she coldly rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Dugu Cheng once again grasped her hand. Feng Lingxi wanted to pull back, but he held on tightly, "Xier, this king knows that what I did before was a bit of a mess, but right now, we are in the same boat, and we should be of one heart."
"My Lord, Princess Zhaoran is here."
Dugu Cheng heard the name Zhao Ran County Lord, his handsome face darkened. He had finally grasped Xi'er's hand, what was Zhao Ran doing here
Feng Lingxi heard of Zhao Ran County Princess, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, "Your Highness, why don't you go meet her first I have something to do and won't accompany you."
After finishing her words, Feng Lingxi got up and left with Xiao Li.
"Xier..."
Du Gu Cheng wanted to chase after her, and just saw Zhao Ran County Princess running towards him, “Cheng Gege.”
Looking at Zhao Ran County Lord's smile, Dugu Cheng felt disgusted, what a bad person.
"Princess Zhaoran, is there something important that brings you to seek out the Lord"
Ye Xi saw that the Wang Ye had been dumped by his wife and, with a forced smile, asked Zhao Ran County Lord.
When County Princess Zhao saw Ye Xi, she said displeasedly, "County Princess and Chengge are talking, what business is it of yours, a mere guard"
"Ye Xi is this king's personal guard, and he is like a brother to me. How could he possibly betray me"
Dugu Cheng's cold words made Zhao Ran County Lord's pretty face stiffen slightly. She hurriedly accompanied a smile and said, "City Brother, Zhao Ran doesn't mean that, I just miss you, City Brother."
Princess Zhao then stepped forward, wanting to grab Dugu City's hand, but he dodged her. Such an action made Princess Zhao's face very unsightly, "City brother, don't you like me Why…"
"Princess Zhao, please be respectful. This king has never said he likes you. If Princess you misunderstood, then this king will clearly tell you now, this king does not like you. In the future, please Princess, be respectful."
"Brother Cheng."
The news left Princess Zhaoran with tears welling up in her eyes, which streamed down her cheeks.
That pitiful look in her eyes made it hard to bear, but Dugu City remained cold and merciless, showing no sign of sympathy for her tears.
"Your Highness sought out this king for a reason. If there is nothing, then this king shall take his leave."
Dugu Cheng ignored Zhuo Ran County Princess's tears falling like rain, and said coldly, "Ye Xi, send the County Princess out of the mansion."
Ye Xi looked at the King's demeanor and said to Zhao Ran County Lord, "County Lord, please return."
Zhao Ran County Princess wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and stepped forward, grabbing Dugu City's arm. "City Brother, listen to me finish, I came here actually for..."
"My lady, I told you to behave yourself!"
Zhao Ran County Princess looked at her hand gripping his arm, bit her lip and let go, tears falling even harder.
"Speak your mind, there's no need to cry before me like this. Someone uninformed might think I've wronged you."
Princess Zhaoran, upon hearing this, cried even harder.
"Brother Cheng, my father wants to marry me off to the Crown Prince, but I don't like him. I like you, Brother Cheng. Please go to Father and tell him not to marry me to the Crown Prince. I want to marry you."
Princess Zhaoran bit her lip and spoke her intentions. She wouldn't have another chance to speak if she didn't now.
Upon hearing her words, Dugu City's handsome brows furrowed.
"I'm just a prince. Since the Prince Regent allowed the county princess to marry the crown prince, it is her good fortune. Marrying the crown prince means becoming his consort. The county princess should still listen to the Prince Regent and marry the crown prince."
"Brother Cheng, but I like you, it's you who makes me marry the Crown Prince... I... I might as well just die."
Princess Zhaoran said, and ran toward the pond ahead. Ye Xi quickly stopped her.
"My Lady, please do not be rash."
Zhao Ran County Princess turned around and looked at the unmoved Dugu City, crying even harder.
"Yexi, if the county princess wants to jump, let her. The pond is shallow, she won't drown."
"Brother Cheng..."
Princess Zhao's face paled, unable to believe that her beloved Cheng Gege had said such words.
"Why are you unwilling to marry me Where am I inferior to that foolish woman, Feng Lingxi"
"This king likes women like her, the kind who are naive and clingy. They don't bother this king."
Hearing her speak ill of Xier again, Du Gucheng felt even more disgusted with her. He hadn't found her this annoying before, but now, listening to her whine and cry, he really wished he could slap her and send her flying.
Zhao Ran County Princess cried even harder, wiping her tears and looking at him, "Chenggege, you really don't want to marry me"
"Yes."
When Princess Zhao'ran heard his words, her heart sank. She suddenly smiled and jumped into the pond with a splash. Dugu City heard the sound of splashing water and saw Ye Xi jump down. He immediately shouted, “Save the princess!”
As Dugu Cheng said, the water in the pond can't kill a person, but it did make Princess Zhaoran drink quite a bit of water from the bottom of the pot. It made her cough and splutter, leaving her in a sorry state.
Feng Ling, who came hearing the commotion, watched as everyone scrambled to take care of Princess Zhao Ran. She frowned, "Xiao Li, are Princess Zhao Ran and the King this deeply in love"
"Who in the capital doesn't know that Princess Zhaoran likes the Prince Only you, Your Highness, seem unaware."
Xiaoli watched the princess, showing no signs of jealousy at all. This made Xiaoli even more worried for the King.
The Queen's temperament towards the King was like ice water in winter, capable of freezing a person to death.
"Well, I guess I played the role of a meddling third party then. If only I had swapped out someone else for the antidote that day."
As soon as Feng Ling finished speaking, Xiao Li said to her, "Your Highness, everyone can see that the Prince doesn't like Princess Zhao Ran. Why do you say such things about yourself Besides, the Prince's feelings for you are clear to all, evident to heaven and earth, sun and moon. Doing this will surely hurt him deeply."
Feng Lingxi let out a light scoff. "A few days have passed, and you've already set your heart on him."
Xiao Li hurriedly bowed her head and explained, "Xiao Li only hopes that the princess will be happy and not hand over her own man."
Have a look back.
Feng Lingxi did not argue, she walked to the front of Zhao Ran County Lord who was surrounded by people. Looking at the rescued Zhao Ran County Lord, Dugu Cheng stood there, still cold and ruthless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"I have met the Princess."
Seeing Feng Lingxi arrive, the servants in the manor hurriedly bowed. Feng Lingxi responded with a nod and walked to Zhaoran County Lord's side, looking at her red-rimmed eyes fixed on Duguo City, she asked with concern, "Lord Wang, what are you two doing"
Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi coming over, his face softened, and he hurriedly said, "Xier, this king didn't bully her, she jumped down herself."
Feng Lingxi crouched down, looking at Zhao Ran Junzhu's increasingly ferocious tears. She grabbed her hand and smiled faintly.
"Aren't you just trying to marry this man Is there anything you can't say properly, that you had to choose to jump into the pond You didn't even drown yourself and ended up swallowing a mouthful of pond water. You, with your noble birth, if your father found out, he would be heartbroken." been. It stunk to high heaven, but luckily Master gave her candy to eat."Wan'er looked at her mother, her eyes full of pleading. She held Feng Lingxi's hand and shook it, "Mother, can you teach Wan'e...
