Feng Lingxi's appearance, her eyes turned red with anger. She pointed at her and shouted, "Mother, what are you afraid of If the Fourth Prince knew that she was no longer pure, do you think he would s..."I know, but he doesn't know this person is you."

Shu Fei's mischievous eyes made Feng Ling Xi both amused and exasperated. This imperial concubine was truly playing her son! Didn't Du Gu Cheng keep this secret hidden in his heart all along

Suddenly, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but wonder, if her mother had let him marry this betrothed girl, would he agree

"Mother, why are you unhappy about him"

"Shu Fei pulled her down and sat, 'This is related to your mother. Your mother doesn't want me to tell Cheng'er about this. You know Cheng'er, he’s always on the battlefield, he doesn’t understand these matters of love at all. If I told him, he would just say that if he wants to marry you, it’s up to him. Honestly, I'm too lazy to tell him.'"

Feng Lingxi was amused by her mother's words. She hadn't expected that Dugu City used to be quite proud and aloof, had she

"Xier, Mother Concubine brings this to you. She believes that this jade pendant will keep you safe on your journey."

Feng Lingxi took the jade pendant, looking at her mother-in-law's worried eyes, and softly said, "Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law will take good care of the king."

"Why are you taking care of him Just take care of yourself. Your mother is truly worried that going out with him will be dangerous for you, and she wants you to stay. That brat would never stop complaining if you left."

Feng Ling's heart warmed at the sight of her mother's worried eyes. She still didn't want to tell her about the coming upheaval in the palace, did she

She already knew, yet her mother still wanted to hide it from her.

"Xi'er, this time out on campaign, you must remember to think things through carefully before acting. Never wander off alone, alright Your mother will be praying for your safety."

"Mother, I'll only be staying within the camp. I won't go far and nothing will happen to me. But Mother, in the palace, you must be careful and cautious about everything."

Shu Fei responded, “I know. You and Cheng'er are the same. I and your father await your triumphant return.”

Feng Lingxi smiled and nodded, looking at Shu Fei's eyes filled with reluctance. It was as if her this expedition had a one-way ticket, that kind of gaze made Feng Lingxi feel strange. Even if her mother was good to her, she didn't need to be so anxious about her. She was the one leaving after all.

"Today, Mother Concubine will be having a meal at the residence and making several dishes for you."

Feng Lingxi saw Shu Fei's expression and felt even more uneasy. She thought her behavior was strange. Even if she was going to war, she didn't need to act like this. Besides, shouldn't she be concerned about Dugu City

Why is she treated better than Dugu City Feng Lingxi felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Xier, what are you thinking about"

Wind Lingxi came to her senses and, looking at Consort Shu's kind smile, hurriedly said, "Mother concubine, do you have something on your mind You seem a bit strange today."

I told her so much, all to make sure she took good care of herself. Could it be that something was wrong with her

"Mother Empress, how does your daughter-in-law feel that you seem a little strange today"

Shufei's eyes flickered, "Where is it strange You child, you just don't trust me to let you go on a campaign. You say you are a woman, and you shouldn't be going out to fight with that smelly boy, staying at home and having children properly. How can my heart not worry if you follow him out If something happens to you again, I really don't know how to explain it to your dead mother."

Feng Lingxi saw the tears glistening in her mother's eyes and finally understood that it was because of her biological mother that her mother treated her so well.

"Mother, actually my mother she..."

"Your Majesty, the Empress has summoned the Fourth Princess into the palace."

Grandmother entered and, approaching Consort Shu's presence, whispered, "Your Majesty, the Empress is quite furious this time."

Shufen's eyes turned cold. "It seems she really thinks she can rule the world with her own hand."

Feng Lingxi saw that her mother was angry and felt a little uneasy. She was afraid that she had come to find trouble with her because of the slap she gave Feng Linglong yesterday.

"Mother, Xi'er will go change her clothes first."

"Xi'er, wait a moment."

Shu Fei called to her, "Cheng'er said that you often tinker with pills in the pharmacy. This imperial concubine wants to ask you for some medicine."

Feng Lingxi's expression changed slightly, looking at her mother concubine's eyes, could she possibly want to poison the Empress

"Mother, please come with your daughter-in-law."

Shu Fei asked her nurse to wait outside and, following Feng Lingxi, entered her pharmacy. Looking at the jars and medicinal herbs inside, Shu Fei was quite surprised. “What kind of pills does Mother want, Xi’er When I have nothing to do, I often experiment with making pills. These are all prepared for when we go on campaign, just in case.”

Feng Lingxi watched as her mother approached and examined the medicine, hurriedly asking, "Mother Empress, what kind of medicine are you looking for"

"Xier, Mother heard that you used a powder called Itchy Powder when you wouldn't let Cheng'er sleep on the bed. Is there any more"

"Mother…"

Feng Lingxi's face changed drastically. How could her mother know about her and Dugu Cheng Did Dugu Cheng tell her, or did her mother plant spies to watch her

Shufeng pulled her hand, “Mother doesn’t blame you. That wretch didn’t have good intentions when he married you. If you had let her succeed so easily back then, how could she have cherished you You don’t need to know how I found out about all this, just one question: do you still have the itching powder”

"If Mother Consort wants it, Xi'er can get it for you right now."

"What's the medicine"

Feng Lingxi had just taken two steps when, because of Shu Fei's words, she almost twisted her ankle. Looking at her mother's excited eyes, she stiffly nodded her head. How did she feel that her mother was a bit like a child who hadn't grown up Was this really the biological mother of Dugu City

"Do you have Soft-Muscle Powder"

Wind Ling nodded, and Concubine Shu was so excited that she stepped forward and continued to ask, "Does Xier have spring medicine"

"Mother concubine, what are you doing with this"

The Imperial Concubine Shu lightly coughed twice, "Of course, it plays a very important role."

Feng Lingxi hardened her scalp and said, "Mother concubine, please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you."

What are all these drug powders for Aren't you going to use them on her when the time comes

She didn't mean anything by doing these things, but now that her mother concubine wanted them, she felt uneasy. She was most afraid that the medicine would end up on her.

Shufeng looked at her with inquisitive eyes, full of anticipation.

Having packed all the medicine jars, Feng Lingxi handed them to her mother concubine. Seeing her excited expression, she thought for a moment and decided to tell her.

"Mother, that powder doesn't need to be put in a lot. This is specially made by me."

Shu Fei responded with a sound, her eyes shining with excitement like entering a treasure trove. Feng Ling Xi was flustered, wouldn't she want some other kind of medicine

"Xier, who buys all the medicinal herbs in your pharmacy"

"At first, it was I who bought them, but later on, whenever anything was needed, the prince would buy it. Half of it was his medicinal herbs."

"Later, Mother will give you something. You take it with you when you go on campaign. You'll like it."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod and watched her mother look around east and west, reluctant to leave.

"Mother, is there anything else you desire Please, just speak your mind. Whatever it is, I shall make it happen."

"I don't need anything."

Feng Lingxi looked at her mother and walked over, taking out a jar and handing it to her.

"Empress dowager, this is a pill for catching a cold and fever. If you catch a cold and have a fever, the method of taking it is inside, I've already written it all down." Feng Lingxi handed her the jar, Shufei's eyes were surprised, "You can also refine these medicines and keep them"ied forward. Upon learning that Du Gucheng had arrived, he immediately came out to greet him. Seeing him appear with Feng Lingxi, he was somewhat surprised."Fourth Royal Wife, it's good to see you aga...
