Feng Yu however, slept obediently that night. The next day, she woke up with a stern face and faced Xuanyuan Zhan. From afar, the two looked like a pair of icebergs.

Dou Dou also noticed the strange atmosphere between them. Even though Feng Yu still had a face full of smiles when facing Dou Dou, with how intelligent Dou Dou was, she could guess that something must have happened to them.

When Dou Dou was doing his usual horse stance, Feng Yu went into the kitchen to make him food. When Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to follow along, he was stopped by Dou Dou.

"Your Highness, are you bullying your mother? Your mother has a very good temper and has always been smiling. When she looks at you, her eyes are almost rolling to the Baihui acupoint."

This description rendered him speechless, but he had to admit that it was very appropriate.

"No, why would Ben Wang do anything to your mother?"

Dou Dou looked at him with disbelief, his face full of "you liar".

Xuanyuan Zhan, "..."

Dou Dou stared at him unwaveringly. It seemed that he had already concluded that had sealed his seal, Xuanyuan Zhan pursed his lips and thought about how he could change the way she thought. However, the butler ran over.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Princess has arrived."

Xuanyuan Zhan raised an eyebrow. He knew that his fifth sister, Xuanyuan Jinger, had rushed over after hearing about Feng Yu's situation. Their relationship had already been very good in the past.

"Bring her here." Xuanyuan Zhan said, and the butler immediately nodded and turned to instruct the servants.

Feng Yu returned to the courtyard after she finished cooking a plate of pancakes with another ingredient. was currently speaking to a woman with a heavenly beauty, and she had a small face the size of a palm, white skin, and a pair of eyes that were like two pools of spring water. She looked extremely alluring, with long hair that was like clouds, and her entire body was emitting the noble aura of the imperial family.

She felt like she knew this beauty.

The beauty was Xuanyuan Jinger. When she saw Feng Yu walking over, her eyes revealed joy as if she was calling out to her mother, and shouted at Feng Yu, "Third royal sister-in-law!"

When Feng Yu heard this form of address, she could roughly determine her identity, but no matter how hard she tried, he could not remember her name. Xuanyuan Zhan recognized her, and lightly introduced her: "This is the Fifth Princess, Xuanyuan Jinger."

Feng Yu nodded, then rolled her eyes at as if she remembered the relationship between her and him, and smiled at him.

"Hello, Fifth Princess."

"Third sister in law, you used to call me Jing Er."

Xuanyuan Jinger frowned slightly, looking very sad. A beauty was indeed a beauty, being sad would cause one's heart to soften.

"That... I am not your Third Sister. "

Xuanyuan Jinger looked at her in puzzlement, but cleverly she did not continue her line of questioning.

Feng Yu was also feeling awkward sitting there, and she didn't want to face Xuanyuan Zhan either. She took advantage of the fact that she was wiping Dou Dou's sweat to leave.

"Third royal brother, what happened to Third royal concubine? "Could it be because of the crown prince …"

Xuanyuan Zhan shook his head, "She had just arrived in Shengjing, and this was the first time she met this duke. He did not acknowledge that he is a Battle Princess at all."

Xuanyuan Jinger's brows furrowed even more as she looked at Feng Yu.

"But I feel that there is a conflict between the third imperial concubine and the third imperial brother. Could it be that the third imperial brother has done something to make her unhappy?"

This time, Xuanyuan Zhan's brows creased, and when he thought back to her unyielding and unruly appearance, a profound look flashed past his eyes.

"She only wanted to bring Dou Dou away from this king, but the crown prince was staring at him and General Feng … This King can't let them fall into danger once again. "

Xuanyuan Jinger agreed on this point, but she was well aware of her Third Imperial Brother. Even though they were not born from the same mother, they had a good relationship since childhood, and the Ning Fei was rather fond of Xuanyuan Jinger as well.

"Third Imperial Brother, aren't you being too domineering towards Third Imperial Aunt? Third Imperial Brother is good at everything, but this aspect is unbearable." Xuanyuan Jinger said as if she was blaming her, "The Third Emperor's sister-in-law has been missing for six years, and she hasn't come to find you for these past six years. She must have her reasons, or perhaps she thinks that the Third Emperor is unable to save the two of them."

Xuanyuan Jinger's words made Xuanyuan Zhan clench his fists tightly. It was very likely that this was the case, as he was unable to give Feng Yu a sense of security, so she had hidden herself far away.

After all, Feng Yu was no longer the gentle and beautiful lady from a noble family, but a little wild cat that protected Dou Dou with determination.

With regards to his self-reflection, Xuanyuan Jinger could immediately see through his thoughts. He suggested, "Later on, you go and talk to Third Imperial Aunt and treat her better, there are many ways to prevent her from leaving the Duke's Mansion. Let her feel at ease and safe here, she can't use Dou Dou's life as a wager."

Xuanyuan Jinger looked at Dou Dou with eyes full of love.

"This child is already so old. When I saw him back then, he was still in Third Young Madam's stomach. I'll get along well with him later on, and do my duty as an aunt."

Xuanyuan Zhan nodded, he knew that she was also purposely trying to help Dou Dou, allowing them to resolve the problem alone.

After Dou Dou finished his horse stance, he went to eat a pancake made from phoenix feathers. Xuanyuan Jinger looked at him with a gentle gaze, but Dou Dou actually really liked this beautiful princess.

Feng Yu could not bear to hold him back, so she also felt very confident in Xuanyuan Jinger, and just let them go. It was just that once the two of them left, he and Xuanyuan Zhan felt extremely awkward while staring at each other.

Xuanyuan Zhan felt that it was necessary to speak first, "Yu Er, did you sleep well after last night?"

Feng Yu secretly spat in her heart. It would be strange if she slept well. She had already confiscated all the silver notes, so it would be strange if she slept well.

Thus, her face revealed a strange expression. The muscles on her face twitched unnaturally, but it was obvious that she was infuriated.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This humble daughter has slept very well."

This time, it was Xuanyuan Zhan's face that twitched. He endured it and calmly continued.

"This is This King's fault. This King should not have treated Yu Er like this."

Feng Yu looked at him in surprise. Had he eaten the wrong thing?

He didn't need to treat himself with a hard attitude to obtain the phoenix feather. He thought that Xuanyuan Jinger's suggestion would be useful, so he continued to soften her stance.

"If Yu Er has any requests in the future, feel free to mention them. This King will do his best to fulfill them."

Feng Yu's expression became even more surprised, before revealing a doubtful expression.

"What if I say that I want to leave the Duke Palace with Dou Dou right now?"

"Of course not!"

Xuanyuan Zhan quickly opposed it. Feng Yu sneered, she knew it was going to be like this.

"Your Royal Highness, your words do not mean what you say. How can this humble girl believe your words? "Therefore, it's better to put away all these fake appearances and stop wasting your breath."

"This King said that it's not safe outside. Who will protect you in case you encounter any danger?" Xuanyuan Zhan condescendingly looked down at Feng Yu, "You don't have martial arts, are you sure you can protect Dou Dou when the time comes?"

So what if he didn't know martial arts? She and Dou Dou had been safe for six years, how could they not protect him now?

"Don't look down on me. I can also learn martial arts!"

"It seems a little too late. Your bones and tendons have already grown. Even if you practice martial arts, you will still not be able to improve."

Feng Yu was so angry by him that she just wanted to punch him. Couldn't she rely on her brain instead of martial arts?

However, she didn't feel that there was anything much to explain. The more she looked at Xuanyuan Zhan, the more she hated him.

Xuanyuan Zhan withdrew his thoughts that he thought Xuanyuan Jinger's plan was correct. In that moment, he still believed that his course of action was the correct one.

"If This King says he will protect you, then he will. Don't even think about playing tricks. If you continue, This King will lock you up."

Feng Yu's anger was ignited again as she gnashed her teeth and shouted at him.

"If you have the ability, put me in jail." Feng Yu said, "But even if you put me in jail, I will still run out!"

Feng Yu's face shone with a confident light, which made Xuanyuan Zhan very afraid.

"It looks like I really have to let Yu Er have a taste of the dungeon. I have to make it so that you can't leave your courtyard. Xuanyuan Zhan said, "I will send a team to surround the courtyard, they won't even be able to fly out like a fly."

"You …" Feng Yu was completely speechless. Xuanyuan Zhan looked at her coldly, causing Feng Yu to feel cold air, causing goosebumps to appear on her neck.

Xuanyuan Zhan didn't know what she was thinking, but after thinking for a bit, he finally revealed what happened that day in the Imperial Palace.

"When this king entered the palace, royal father asked him about you. This king had already informed him that the two of you were this king's wife and son, and that he was very concerned about Dou Dou. After all, Dou Dou was the first child of the imperial family, and a man at that." Xuanyuan Zhan said, "Right now, it is not only the crown prince and General Feng's residence that are watching over you two. royal father is also very concerned about you two, so it will be very safe if you obediently stay in the Duke Palace.

"This is a disaster caused by your nonsense, isn't it?" The moment Feng Yu heard that the emperor was involved, her aura died out by half.

Feng Yu knew that this emperor had quite a few tricks, he was not one to lose his wits. Even someone like Xuanyuan Qingtian was suppressed by him, she did not need to fear him a little.

Seeing her slightly shrink back, Xuanyuan Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally found her weakness.

"Although the Fifth Princess is on our side, her relationship with royal father is also very close. It's best if Yu Er doesn't do what you did to this duke in front of her.

Xuanyuan Zhan stopped himself from speaking further, but Feng Yu knew what he wanted to say.

At this time, Xuanyuan Jinger walked over with Dou Dou. Feng Yu was very happy to see Dou Dou and naturally wanted to hug him, but she didn't expect Xuanyuan Zhan to put his arm around her waist and act as if they were in harmony.

Thinking back to what he had said just now, Feng Yu could only choose to endure it, and even revealed a smile towards Xuanyuan Jinger.

Seeing their "intimate" looks, Xuanyuan Jinger's face lit up, thinking that they had made up.

"Third Imperial Brother, Third Imperial Sister-in-Law, you … That's good. " Xuanyuan Jinger's face revealed a pleased expression, "Royal father and the Ning Fei Empress will definitely be very happy."

Feng Yu could only smile dryly at her. Xuanyuan Zhan inched closer towards Feng Yu, the two of them were so close together that they could almost smell each other's scent.

Feng Yu could not break free, so she could only stretch out her hand to pinch the flesh on the back of his waist. Unfortunately, the muscles on the other side were so hard that they could not be twisted at all.

Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile that was similar to indulgence. To him, these were no different from a baby cat scratching its head.

Feng Yu raised her head and glared fiercely at him. Xuanyuan Zhan turned back to look at him, and the two of them stared at each other.

Xuanyuan Jinger almost cried tears of joy. Dou Dou looked at Xuanyuan Zhan in confusion, then looked at Feng Yu, and felt that their relationship seemed to be better than before.
