The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

Shen Du was silent for a while.

Finally, the final decision was made.

"Then let's prepare for both situations. I naturally want to give Ah Li the best."

What's the best about this?

Feng Zhenzhu twitched the corners of her lips.

It’s just that Shen Du wants her to take good care of Cui Lingyi’s health!

But after talking about it, she did feel a lot less stressed.

Even if we can't get the meteorite this time, with Shen Du's help, our chances in the future will be much greater.

Xie Jin saw this and chimed in, "I can go to the palace to find my brother and ask him for help."

Shen Du's face was gloomy.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. That piece of meteorite is of special significance to Your Majesty. Without great merit, it would be difficult..."

"Indeed. There is no rush for this matter."

Feng Zhenzhu nodded and changed the subject.

"Fortunately, the heart is soft. As long as we choose the best iron ore and forge it at high temperature, it will still work. If that doesn't work, we can also add an appropriate amount of copper, but there are some technical difficulties..."

After thinking for a while, she added, "I have some methods to improve the forging effect. I'll write them down and give them to the Marquis later."

This is the end of the conversation.

Feng Zhenzhu stood up to leave, but Xie Jin still insisted.

"Why don't I go to the palace? Over the years, I have never made my brother feel embarrassed. If I ask for help, His Majesty might just throw the piece of iron at me..."

Shen Du's face turned cold.

"I have my own opinion on this matter. Your Majesty must not know that we are planning to take that piece of iron."

Feng Zhenzhu also said, "That's true. If His Majesty knew and took precautions in advance, it would be even more difficult to get it."

Xie Jin wanted to speak again, but she pulled him away by his sleeve.

Only when they got outside the hall did Feng Zhenzhu start talking.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own way. At most, I can wait for a few years. It's just a coincidence that I said it today."

Xie Jin was a little unhappy, "You should have told me about this earlier so that I could find a solution for you."

Feng Zhenzhu, however, looked unconcerned.

"It's better to find Shen Du than to find you."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I am not as good as him?" Xie Jin was anxious.

Feng Zhenzhu rolled her eyes.

"You think too much. Why should you compare your relationship with mine with others?"

Xie Jin looked puzzled, "It is precisely because our relationship is different that you should rely on me more."

Feng Zhenzhu was speechless.

"That's different. If I save Ah Li, I will be their great benefactor. It is only natural for Shen Du to help me fulfill my wish. Why am I looking for you? Do you want me to owe you a favor?"

Xie Jin's handsome face turned dark in an instant.

I want to speak but I can't.

He really wanted Feng Zhenzhu to owe him a favor so that she could marry him naturally.

Unfortunately, this woman seems to be different from all the women in the world.

Although the two people did not get married, they did everything secretly.

If it were another woman, she would probably want to enter the palace immediately and become a princess.

But Feng Zhenzhu has always made things clear to him.

They were still cuddleing in bed one moment, but as soon as they got up, they turned against each other.

She also said that she had never thought of marrying him.

Every time he was so angry that he almost died.

But he didn't dare to force Feng Zhenzhu.

He was the King of Linjiang, and he had clearly obtained this woman, yet it seemed as if he had not obtained her.

This always made him feel uneasy.

I always feel like this woman will just walk away.

Just like now, without him saying anything, Feng Zhenzhu just left him and walked away on her own.

Looking at the slender figure in front of him, Xie Jing hurried to catch up.

"Pearl, why can't you just be a little bit better?"

Feng Zhenzhu walked quickly, humming softly.

"Be good? That's not my character!"

.........

That day, Shen Du was planning to go next door to see Cui Lingyi.

Thinking of her promise to have dinner with him, he felt happy and quickened his pace.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw Li Qi, the eunuch beside the emperor, rushing towards him.

There were two imperial guards following behind him.

As soon as he saw him, Li Qi's originally tense face instantly relaxed.

"Young Marquis, I finally found you!"

A trace of vigilance arose in Shen Du's heart.

Li Qi came to find him, there must be something going on in the court.

But he has already taken leave and is preparing for his wedding.

The emperor also promised not to disturb him.

"Eunuch Li is looking for me?"

"It's not our family that's looking for you. It's His Majesty's order, summoning you to the palace immediately!"

Seeing a corner of the imperial edict sticking out of Li Qi's sleeve, he walked away.

"I am on vacation, why would His Majesty summon me?"

Cui’s house is not far ahead.

The woman he loved was waiting for him.

Even if something big happened, he didn't want to enter the palace.

Li Qi became anxious and immediately prepared to announce the decree in the street.

"Marquis of Ningguo Shen Du, listen to my orders!"

Once the imperial edict is issued, no matter who you are, you must immediately accept it and express your gratitude.

Shen Du gritted his teeth.

He lifted the corner of his robe and was about to kneel down to listen to the emperor's order.

Li Qi grabbed him and stuffed the imperial edict into his arms.

"My Lord, please come to the palace! His Majesty knows that you are busy preparing for the wedding, and he is afraid that you will disobey his order, so he specially gave this to us. Please take a look at it yourself!"

With the imperial edict in hand, Shen Du did not dare to hesitate.

When he opened it, his expression changed.

"Is it finally here?"

Li Qi sighed.

"Isn't it? His Majesty was so anxious that he got angry. He had no other choice but to summon the Marquis to the palace."

Shen Du glanced at the imperial edict and walked towards the closed door of Cui’s house.

"Then let me go and tell them first before going into the palace?"

"You can't do this, you can't do this!" Li Qi stopped him.

"My Lord, you must not let your children's personal affairs delay the important affairs of the court!"

"If the Marquis is worried, we will go to Miss Cui and explain the reason to her. We will definitely not let the Marquis lose the beauty's heart."

Now that things have come to this, Shen Du can no longer refuse.

I had no choice but to ask for your help.

The Imperial City Officers had already brought his horse over.

Seeing Shen Du jumping on his horse and walking towards the palace, Li Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ever since Shen Du returned from the two lakes, he has heard a lot about the eldest daughter of the Cui family.

It's a pity that the Marquis of Ningguo, the youngest powerful official in front of the emperor, is so cautious in front of a woman.

This finally aroused his curiosity.

What kind of person could seduce Shen Du into this?

Today I finally got a chance to see it.

Li Qi straightened his clothes, waved the whisk in his hand, and waved at the two imperial guards.

"You guys just wait here, don't go in and scare Miss Cui. I'll go tell her and then go back to the palace."

"Yes, Eunuch Li!"

The two imperial guards standing at the door had actually alarmed the person at the door.

The news was reported immediately.

At that time, Cui Lingyi and Feng Zhenzhu were studying methods of extracting perfume.

When he heard the imperial guards coming to the door, he was also startled.

Later, I heard that the imperial guards did not come in, and I felt relieved.

"Go and find out what's going on."

Before the messenger could leave, the butler came in shouting and yelling.

"Miss, someone is coming from the palace."
