Chapter 884: Frost Flowers 74

rect confrontation. With Dugu Cheng also absent, a full-scale battle would have been disastrous; he simply couldn't match their strength.Feiyu Xi looked down at the cliff, her eyes filled with unwilli...He wanted to kill me unless he didn't want to live.

Feng Lingxi was still very confident in her medical skills. Although there were some poisons here that she didn't know, she also knew that many poisons in this era were impossible to cure. Coupled with her special concoction, if Dugu Xiu still wanted to live, he should give up his unwarranted thoughts about her. Otherwise, there would only be a lose-lose situation.

"Your Majesty, does the Emperor truly harbor ill intentions towards you"

Xiao Li still found it hard to believe that the Emperor hadn't had those thoughts for the Empress before, how come after becoming Emperor, he was just like his predecessor, wanting to do those things to the Empress.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li's worried eyes and explained, "He's not being malicious, it's possessiveness. Think about it, there wasn't much emotional entanglement between him and me at first. It was just a disagreement when we were in Lin Xi County. Such a strong person, he even dared to harm Mo Huilan who was five months pregnant. What can't he do"

"Speaking of Lan Fei, I really feel sorry for her."

A five-month pregnancy, gone just like that, and to be humiliated in such a way.

"Every cause has an effect. Could Dugu Yan's death have nothing to do with them"

Feng Lingxi shook her head. These things were just unspoken truths. All she wished was for Dugucheng to return soon, and then they would go back to Linxi County together. This capital city was about to change drastically. Staying any longer would likely lead to their deaths.

Back at the palace, Shu Taifei immediately came to find her. Seeing Feng Lingxi was unharmed, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Luo Li and Li Wu Yan also arrived. Seeing that Shu Tai Fei was alright, they didn't say much, just exchanged a few polite greetings with her before she left.

Did Dugu Xiu give you any trouble

Feng Lingxi gestured for them to sit down, took out a bottle and placed it on the table. Li Wuyan picked up the bottle, took out a pill and sniffed it at his nose, then frowned and asked, "Did you poison him"

"In order to survive, I have no choice but to do this."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the doorway. Her mother had already walked far away, and she wasn't planning on hiding it from them.

"Dugu Xiu's body was poisoned by me, my poison can keep him calm."

Have you ever heard of love poison

Li Wuyan took out a book and placed it before Feng Lingxi. "A love gu planted inside the body will make people lose their humanity. Their needs for certain aspects will become particularly terrifying. This kind of madness will, after constant demands, fatten the worm. After that, the worm will burst from the body, and the person carrying the worm will die from overexertion."

"You said Dugu Xiu was poisoned by a love bug"

Feng Lingxi frowned, she remembered the love poison wasn't like this.

"According to the clues we have so far, it does seem to be a love spell."

But shouldn't a love poison be used on someone you like, making them completely devoted to you

Feng Lingxi felt dizzy. This kind of poison shouldn't be like this, right

Li Wu Yan looked at Feng Ling Xi, “What you said does exist, and what I said also exists. Because this kind of poison is more ferocious, people call it love gu.”

"Then you're saying that Dugu Xiu cast the love poison on himself, or was it planted by someone else"

For the throne or something else

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Su wishes to see you."

The steward walked in to report, Feng Lingxi was astonished and hurriedly asked the steward, "How could King Su get in"

The steward glanced at Li Wuyan and Luoli. "I don't know, master. Those Imperial Guards didn't stop him either. I wonder what the Prince Su said to them."

"You all step aside for a moment, I'll see King Su first. I'll find you later."

Luo Li and Li Wu Yan left, not forgetting to take the book on the table with them.

Du Gu Su was pushed in, this was Feng Ling Xi's first time seeing Du Gu Su leave the mansion. Before, it was always her who went to Su Wangfu, but she never expected that one day, Du Gu Su would come here to find her.

"Fourth Princess, it's been a long time."

Dugu Su smiled faintly, and Feng Lingxi hurriedly ordered someone to offer tea and invite Dugu Su to sit down.

"Your Highness, King Su, I didn't expect to have a guest here. You are the first."

Dugu Su glanced at the four royal residences, "In that case, it would be an honor for this king."

Feng Lingxi gave a wry smile, watching Dugu Su's face pale slightly. Thinking of Empress Cen asking her to develop an antidote, she thought that if Dugu Su truly became emperor, he should be better than Dugu Xiu.

"Your Highness, Prince of Su, is there something you need from me"

Dugu Su nodded, looking around. Feng Lingxi smiled and said, “Rest assured, my Fourth Prince’s Mansion is very safe. Xiao Li has been with me since she was young, Your Highness Su can say anything without hesitation.”

"This King has heard that you entered the palace today. I am not at ease, so I came to see you."

Feng Lingxi's body stiffened slightly. Her news of entering the palace spread so quickly And what was it that made them uneasy about her

He even went to the Fourth Prince's mansion to see her. If this got out, wouldn't it cause misunderstandings and make her uneasy

Du Gulü Su saw her like this, and explained, “The Fourth Princess should know what has been happening in the palace recently. The Fourth Brother calls me ‘Fourth Brother,’ and you have always been kind to me. Since I am still free to move about, I came to visit. Don’t overthink it, Fourth Princess.”

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Today's palace visit has been well."

獨孤蘇聽到還好，眉頭皺起，“可是見到皇上了？”

"But what news has come from the palace"

Dugu Su nodded, "The emperor suddenly summoned the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital and flew into a rage, even beheading two of them. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager arriving in time, I fear all the physicians from the Imperial Hospital would have met their end."

Feng Ling Xi clenched her fists, the coldness in her beautiful eyes hidden. This tyrant.

These two lives are now connected to her again.

Feng Lingxi didn't know if poisoning Dugu Xiu was right or wrong. If she hadn't done it, she might have been able to come out clean, but now that she had poisoned him, innocent lives in the Imperial Medical Bureau were lost because of her.

獨孤蘇看著風淩兮的反應，黑眸微沉，“這件事，可是和四王妃今日入宮有關？”

Feng Ling Xi raised her head and looked at Dugu Su, "King Su, this is the real reason you came here today, isn't it"

"This King only wants to know what happened, Grand Master of the Dali Temple. These matters this King intervenes in, the Fourth Princess Consort should know how to act."

Feng Lingxi sneered, “What does His Highness Prince Su want me to say Is this matter done by me, or is it unrelated to me”

Du Gu Su heard Feng Ling Xi say this, knowing that she had developed a sense of resentment towards him. He explained, "This king didn't mean it that way, I just wanted to know if there was any connection."

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Su, her beautiful eyes devoid of any warmth. "Now that Your Highness, King Su, is going to throw me in prison"

"The Emperor has not issued an edict to investigate this matter. This prince understands the truth and there is no need to arrest anyone."

Wind Lingxi heard this, her eyes widened.

"There is one more thing this king needs to remind you of, leave as soon as possible."

Du Gu Su finished speaking and pushed his wheelchair to leave. Feng Ling Xi stood up and called out to him.

"Your Highness, King Su, what do you mean Since you've spoken, might as well make it clear.", the Fourth Princess is back."Shu Taifei's gaze fell on Feng Lingxi, seeing her in plain clothes, she must have just returned from outside.The old general's eyes lit up, but he quickly put on a stern...
