Chapter 476 Revenge 120

, and after Xiaoli left, she began to apply the medicinal powder to her crossbow. She also applied poison to the underside of her silver needles. By the time everything was ready, it was dawn."Did you...Although Dugu Xiu still wanted to say something to Feng Lingxi, the itch on his body made it impossible for him to stay here any longer. Xiaoli saw Dugu Xiu leave and winked at the princess. That mischievous smile almost made Feng Lingxi lose control. This little girl was actually quite clever.

Dugu Xiu came out, his body was still unbearably itchy. Looking at Xiao Li, he was furious, "Didn't you say it wouldn't itch once I came out Why is it still so itchy Are you fooling this king"

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. I dare not disobey you. This powder made by the Fourth Princess requires some time to remove its effects. Your Highness, why don't you go bathe first and cleanse the powder from your body It will be over soon."

Seeing Dugu Xiu's non-stop grabbing, Xiao Li almost laughed out loud.

"Then what are you still standing there for, hurry and bring water for this king to bathe."

"Sixth Brother, this king has had someone bring you water to bathe. Little Li is Xi'er's personal maid and needs to return to attend to Xi'er."

Dugu City winked at Xiaoli, who hurriedly said, “Sixth Prince, soaking more will stop the itch.”

"You..."

Watching Xiaoli walk in, Dugu Xiu's handsome face turned ashen, but he was helpless against the unbearable itch on his body. He could only give up. Dugu Cheng ordered Ye Xi to take Dugu Xiu down for a bath.

Xiao Li returned to her room, closed the door and walked to Feng Ling Xi's face.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has left."

Wind Ling hurriedly sat up, threw back the covers, and fanned herself. "This Dugu Xiu is really a handful! He hasn't been subdued by the heat of these days. However, with what you did today, I think next time we should use these little tricks to get him back. Let him have a taste of his own medicine!"

This serious illness can't shake him, but can he prevent these minor ailments

Xiao Li nodded and quickly helped the princess up. "Princess, I reckon the Sixth Prince won't be coming to bother you today. Why don't we go outside for some fresh air"

"No way, I'm supposed to be 'miscarrying' and resting now. I need to find a way to get rid of the imperial physician sent by the capital. He'll definitely come to confirm if I'm really 'miscarrying', after all, he still has to report back."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Li. He leaned in close to his ear and said a few words. Xiao Li nodded, then got up quickly and left.

In the secluded courtyard of the manor, Dugu Xiu walked out after a bath. His body was covered in red scratches from his relentless scratching. The itchiness hadn't disappeared at all, instead it intensified with every scratch. He scratched more and more, driven by the maddening sensation. The discomfort brought back memories of Dugu Cheng's time with Xi'er, and he couldn't help but chuckle aloud.

"Fourth Brother, what do you mean Is there something so funny"

Du Gucheng, seeing Du Guxiu's angry expression, explained, "Sixth Brother, don't misunderstand. This king only remembered when he was with Xi'er back then, this king would often accidentally get stained with such powder. Seeing Sixth Brother now, it suddenly reminded him of that time, and now thinking about it, it's quite nostalgic."

"Feng Ling Xi, she even dares to poison you"

When Dugu Xiu heard this, his whole face fell. Dugu Cheng explained, “What poisoning This is just some worm powder. It's a bit itchy if you get it on you, but take a bath and it will be fine after a while, no big deal.”

"A little itchy This king has scratched himself red. This is called a little itchy Fourth Brother, you are too partial to her. If you continue to indulge her like this, she will sooner or later kill you."

Dugu Cheng patted his own chest, "How serious can it be Sixth brother, don't think about the itch and it won't itch. If you feel itchy the more you think about it, then it will naturally itch."

Dugu Xiu scratched frantically, the itch driving him to the verge of tearing his skin apart. Dugu Cheng was clearly in cahoots with Feng Lingxi, deliberately trying to torment him.

"Getting down to business, Sixth Brother, what brings you to see me this time"

Dugu Cheng offered tea, and Dugu Xiu just sat down angrily, taking a gulp that burned his mouth. He clutched at it, fanning himself frantically. Dugu Cheng hurried up to fan him, concerned, "Sixth Brother, what are you doing How could you drink the freshly brewed tea like that"

Dugu Xiu looked at Dugu Cheng's hypocritical eyes, anger rising.

"Fourth Brother, when are we going to the Yao Clan Mother asked me to supervise the retrieval of the treasures from the Yao Clan. Now that you, Fourth Brother, have pacified Tianqi Nation, it's time for us to set off and claim the Yao Clan's treasures."

“The Yao Clan’s treasure is not under this King’s jurisdiction anymore, and you can see Xi'er’s current state. She needs to rest for a while before we can depart. As everyone knows, a woman’s miscarriage is like confinement; she needs careful care and attention to recuperate her body. Otherwise, it will leave her with health problems in the future.”

"How long does this take to raise"

Duke Gucheng frowned slightly, "This king truly doesn't know. They say a woman who gives birth needs to recuperate for 100 days, but since Xi'er had a miscarriage, it should take at least forty or fifty days to fully adjust her body. There is still over a month until winter, so Xi'er's body needs even more careful care. Otherwise, if her body is harmed later, this king can only depend on her to give him many heirs."

"Fourth Brother, she's just a woman. Surely you wouldn't let the lineage die out just because of her"

"Xi'er is this king's queen, she is the fourth sister-in-law of the sixth brother. This king isn't like the sixth brother, with countless women. This king and Xi'er's feelings are something the sixth brother wouldn't understand."

Dugu Xiu recalled Yao Feifei's tragic death, and a hidden resentment toward Dugu Cheng began to rise within him. It was Dugu Cheng who killed his most beloved woman. Now, he stood before him, speaking lightly of Feng Lingxi, as if he weren't afraid that he would kill Feng Lingxi to avenge Yao Feifei

"The Sixth Brother hides his hatred for this king very well."

Dugu Cheng raised his glass for a shallow sip, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He had almost forgotten what he did to Yao Feifei and the words Dugu Xiu said to him.

“Fourth Brother’s feelings for Fourth Sister-in-Law are truly something to be envied. However, Fourth Brother, you must be careful. In this world, there are more than just me who desires Fourth Sister-in-Law's life. Who knows, one day, Fourth Brother might lose her and become like me.”

Dugu Cheng suddenly crushed the cup in his hand, looking at Dugu Xiu with a warning tone, "I don't care about other people, but if you dare to touch Xi’er even a hair on her head, the consequences will be just like this teacup."

Dugu Xiu coldly swept his gaze over the crushed teacup on the table, reminding him, "Fourth Brother, you are strong, but don't forget that while you crush the teacup, your hand will also bleed."

After he finished speaking, Dugu Xiu stood up.

"As for the matter of going to the Yao clan, this king will report it to the Empress Dowager. When to set off depends on how much time the Empress Dowager gives the fourth imperial sister-in-law."

After leaving a single sentence, Dugu Xiu turned and left. Dugu Cheng sat there, his eyes cold and piercing.

"My lord, what shall we do next"

Ye Xi asked, taking out a piece of paper and handing it to Du Gucheng. After reading the note, Du Gucheng's eyes became even colder.

"News from the capital is that Shu Taifei is under house arrest in the palace, being closely watched. There's no concrete information about Shengzhu's situation yet, so we don't know how he's doing."

"Notify Bai Mo to proceed according to the plan."

Ye Xi responded, and Dugu City quickly walked towards Feng Lingxi's room.
