our mother asked you, do you want to bet with him"Huangfu Qingyun looked at his mother, his eyes complex. He wasn't unwilling to gamble, but he was afraid the outcome wouldn't be what he hoped for."Ar...When Shu Tai-fei saw that Dugu Cheng was angry, she looked at the two delicate concubines struggling to speak. After a moment, she opened her mouth and said, "Cheng'er, you see that they were all chosen for you by your mother. Otherwise..."

"Mother concubine, if you like her, you can keep her by your side. This son will not take her. This consort title was given by you, this son does not acknowledge it." Dugu Cheng's tone was extremely cold as he looked at the two of them.

I give you two choices: tell me who sent you, or commit seppuku.

"Spare my life, Lord."

The concubines on both sides heard this from Dugu City, and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow for mercy. Tears fell from their eyes one by one, but they refused to say who did it. Dugu City's face darkened, "This king has a short temper. I'll count to three, if you don't speak, then consider yourself choosing to commit suicide."

Ye Su traced the sword in his hand before throwing it in front of them. The two women trembled with fear, their eyes fixed on Dugu Cheng.

"I, II..."

"My Lord, I want to say, I want to say."

The concubine on the left couldn't take it anymore, and hurriedly spoke up. The concubine on the right grabbed a sword from the ground and stabbed at the concubine on the left.

A spurt of blood gushed from the left-side concubine's chest, and Dugu City stepped back two paces. Looking at the long sword in the right-side concubine's hand, he revealed her true intentions.

The woman on the right drew her sword and watched as the woman on the left fell to the ground. She stood up, sword poised at the other woman's throat.

"My lord, no matter how we sisters speak, you will not let us go, nor will you believe what we sisters say. Since that is the case, we will die to prove our innocence."

"Stop!"

The Consort Shu roared in anger, while the Consort on her right, eyes welling with tears, looked at her, “Consort Shu, we sisters are unfortunate. We cannot be your daughters-in-law in this life, but I hope…”

"You mustn't speak like that, you are all the best. Cheng'er doesn't need you, I do. Don't be foolish, be careful not to hurt yourself."

The Shunfei watched as the left concubine fell to the ground. She didn't stop her, and now this right concubine was about to die too.

獨孤城看著右側妃眸中的淚水，不禁開口，“母妃，這殺人可是要償命的，這女人剛剛殺了她所謂的好姐妹，母妃救了她，她也得死，還不如就讓她追隨她的好姐妹一道去了。”

獨孤城 looked at the tears in the eyes of Consort You, and couldn't help but speak, "Mother concubine, killing is a crime that comes with a price. This woman just killed her so-called best friend. Mother concubine saved her, she also has to die. It's better for her to follow her best friend."

On the right, a concubine's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Dugu City. Could he really be so ruthless and uncaring

She's like this, and he doesn't have a shred of pity.

"Damn it, do you really want them all dead just to please Feng Ling Xi Have you thrown away your royal dignity for her"

"Mother, it wasn't that my son lost face. My son has always been like this; you just forgot." Dugu Cheng's words were like a blade pressed against Consort You's throat, ready to strike at any moment.

On the right, Fei held back tears as she looked at Shu Taifei, "Shu Taifei, this servant does not regret entering this mansion. I beg you to consider our sisters' act of self-harm and spare the other sisters."

Having finished speaking, the concubine on the right drew her sword towards her own neck, blood splattered everywhere. Her body fell to the ground, eyes wide open, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, dying with regret.

The Empress Dowager Shu was so enraged that she fainted. Dugu City stepped forward to check her wound, his eyes flashing with a cold light, they were truly ruthless.

"Make sure their bodies are disposed of properly so no one steals them."

Shutai swiftly walked to Dugu Cheng's side, "Cheng'er, you hate them so much, you must kill them to feel satisfied"

She found two concubines, who were killed by Feng Lingxi, and now she has been killed by Cheng'er again, simply wanting to make her mad.

Dugu Cheng looked at the anger in his mother's eyes and took a deep breath.

"Mother, stop joking around. They are not from good families, they all have ulterior motives. If you want grandchildren, your son and Xi'er will give them to you. But if you want to cause trouble for us, your son will take care of it, thoroughly, leaving none behind."

Dugu Cheng finished speaking, disregarding Shu Tai Fei's angry expression, and ordered, "Escort Mother Empress back."

"You unfilial son, do you want to die with Feng Lingxi and make this old woman furious"

Dugu Cheng didn't reply to her. These days, she had annoyed him enough. Now, he just wanted to clean things up and investigate the backgrounds of those women. The two of them had even committed suicide to conceal their identities. It seemed like asking them anything else was pointless.

Shu Taifei was sent away, and Dugu Cheng walked towards Feng Lingxi's courtyard.

"Wǎn'er, from now on don't run around if nothing is happening, obediently follow Fourteenth and Fifteenth."

"Mother, Wan'er understands."

Feng Ling xi stroked her daughter's cheek and heard Wan'er say, "Wan'er heard that a bad woman was coming to find Mother, so she went out to have a look."

“Now I speak fluently.”

Wan'er acted coquettishly, hugging Feng Lingxi's neck, "Wan'er is almost two years old."

"Yes, yes, yes, my Wan'er is almost two years old."

What a clever little rascal.

Recently, Wan'er has become much more fluent in her speech, it seems Xiao Li deserves all the credit.

"The master said that Wan'er should speak concisely."

Mentioning Luo Li, thinking about coming back for over two months now, Luo Li is still here. It's just that I don't know what his purpose is this time when he entered the capital. Did the Yao Clan send Luo Li here to stop her, or to monitor her and Wan'er

It's unlikely that someone would be spying on Wan'er. If they truly wanted to monitor her, they wouldn't do it secretly. There's no need to hide it from everyone else.

"What's so good about leaving"

Dugu City walked in, hearing Wan'er praise Luo Li, his brows furrowed, his expression displeased.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City and whispered to Wan'er, "Your father is jealous."

"Mother dislikes Master again, why is Father unhappy"

Feng Lingxi was stunned, looking at Dugu City. This daughter's words made sense, but how did she see through it She didn't like Luoli

Your mother likes your father.

"Duguyan embraced Wan'er and, seeing her daughter's puzzled expression, smiled and said, "So, does Wan'er like her brother"

"No."

Wan'er refused without hesitation. Feng Lingxi let out a giggle, looking at Dugu City's embarrassed expression, then at Wan'er, whose expression clearly said, "Don't even try to trick me."

"Why don't you want a younger brother Don't you want to be a big sister"

"Daddy is bad."

Dugu Cheng was very depressed, "Why did my father go bad"

"Father wants a younger brother, not Wan'er."

Hearing Wan'er say this with such seriousness, Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "Who taught this girl When did I ever say I didn't want her"

"It has nothing to do with me. Maybe seeing your mother find you a bunch of women, she thinks you want to give her a bunch of little brothers."

Wind Ling Xi's tone carried a hint of bitterness. To say she wasn't being sarcastic would be a lie.

Dugu Cheng had a helpless expression.

"This King wants to have children, but only if Xier gives birth to them for me. No other woman is qualified."

"Then, Wan'er wants her younger brother."

Suddenly, Wan'er blurted out a sentence. Feng Lingxi's face flushed red instantly, and she glared at Dugu City with displeasure, "Wan'er is all grown up now, you should be more careful with your words."

Dugu City chuckled, but remained silent. Wan'er said she wanted her younger brother, it seemed he had to work harder. since I was hurt by Yaochu"Holding the pastries, Xiao Li hurried to the front hall. Yexi grabbed her hand and snatched the pastries from her, "Your internal injuries are severe, you need to rest prop...
