Feng Ling Xi looked at her father, “Father, I'm afraid you have forgotten about your wife It’s been so long since you accompanied her”Feng Aotien, when told this by Feng Lingxi, frowned. He had indeed..."Xier, go."

Feng Lingxi nodded and gestured for Xiao Simu to sit down in the pavilion ahead. She then asked, “Young Master Xiao, have you found any clues”

"Without any leads, I can only ask the Fourth Princess. Has there been any new progress on the antidote for Falling Frost Flower To be honest with you, Your Highness, my mother's condition has worsened since before. I sincerely hope that the Fourth Princess will lend a hand and save her."

Xiao Simu looked towards her mother's direction, her eyes full of worry.

"I can only confirm that Luoshang Hua is a poison, nothing else."

Feng Lingxi was not satisfied with Xiao Simu's answer. She had been investigating this matter all along, and with her abilities, she didn't believe there were no leads.

Xiao Simu frowned, "In that case, Luoshuang Hua is a poison. That means only by cracking this poison can we completely detoxify it."

"As the Second Prince Xiao analyzed, I am currently unable to break the Gu poison. My studies are lacking."

Xiao Simu didn't ask Feng Lingxi to detoxify, but instead furrowed her brow in deep thought, as if pondering something.

After a while, Xiao Simu got up and said, "Thank you, Fourth Princess Consort, for telling me this. I will find another way to detoxify this poison."

Feng Lingxi responded with a sound, watching Xiao Simu's leaving figure, her expression slightly twisted.

He didn't even let her continue researching the venom, it seems he understands something about the art of venom. I just don't know if someone is behind him involved in venom, who could relieve his worries.

When Dugu Cheng came back, Feng Lingxi was poring over ancient texts. Seeing her engrossed, he hugged her from behind.

"Xier, what are you looking at so seriously"

Feng Lingxi pointed at the words written in the book, "This poison, I want to understand it."

獨孤城 took the book from her hand and frowned, "This thing is dangerous. There's no need to understand it."

Why

Seeing the displeasure on Dugu Cheng's face, Feng Lingxi pulled him down and sat beside him, saying earnestly, "Doctor, those who heal have no fear of danger. Although this poison is dangerous, once a way to break it is found, it will not be difficult. I study medicine, not to detoxify anyone, but to learn more."

If one day, the person she cares about is poisoned, she can antidote and be free from control.

"When I returned from the Su Wang's residence, many officials in court were flattering him. The emperor gave the position of Dali Temple Qing to Su Wang and asked me to assist him. Do you know why"

"Is the Emperor afraid of the Prince Su's disloyalty"

"Of course, there's another reason. It allows me to keep an eye on King Su, balancing the power. The Emperor is a wise man; he understands that now, in court, the influence of Lan Fei and the Empress are evenly matched. Both General Fu and Pingbei Wangfu are not to be trifled with."

"Was it because of Grandfather that the General's Mansion..."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, seeing Dugu Cheng nod, she couldn't help but worry about her grandfather's safety.

The iron scroll in grandpa's hand was probably coveted by many. How wind and rain would play out, she didn't care, but if it harmed grandpa, she wouldn't agree to it.

"Now that the Empress is pregnant, she has more confidence. Coupled with Lan Fei and Pingbei Wang's previous pressure on the Emperor, the Emperor is displeased with Pingbei Wang. This matter of deposing the Empress likely won't happen. Pingbei Wang remains in the capital, so the Emperor is now finding reasons to suppress and weaken him."

"Being emperor is truly not easy. With so many brothers, they all have their eyes on the throne. The power of the princes is rising, the empress is involved in politics, and the dowager empress has ambitions as well. It's quite a burden for him."

Feng Lingxi's words were indeed insightful, but what could be done This was the state of affairs in the court.

It was precisely because of these things that Empress Cen did not take action against her.

"So, Your Highness doesn't want you involved in this, understand"

Feng Lingxi responded, "I understand." She knew what to do and what not to do.

"By the way, King Su has been reinstated and the Emperor intends to arrange a marriage for him. Do you have any recommendations for suitable young ladies"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Why ask me about a betrothal to the King of Su"

This matter, in any case, is an undesirable one. This King Su is terminally ill; giving him a bride, isn't this harming the young woman

Furthermore, who among the court officials would be willing to marry off their daughter to the King of Su

"The emperor's intention is to have the King of Su marry sooner, but today the King of Su's reaction seems reluctant."

"No one would be happy about that. King Su knows his own condition. If he married someone's daughter, wouldn't it be unfair to the girl with his illness" Feng Lingxi finished speaking and looked at Du Gucheng's slightly furrowed brow.

"Or is it that the Emperor has begun to suspect that Prince Su is a fake"

獨孤城輕點她的鼻尖，“You're playing me.”

Feng Ling sighed and let out a breath, "There's no trickery here, I just want to remind you not to take on all the burdens of the court. Don't forget, our situation isn't much better than theirs."

Dugu Cheng responded, looking at Xi'er's worried eyes and soothingly said, "Xi'er, do you think the reason King Su doesn't want to marry is because of his illness or..."

"Yes, they all do."

Feng Ling's expression turned serious as she analyzed, "Su Wang is being heavily favored now. His willingness to step into the court shows his ambition is clear for all to see. And he isn't young. The emperor has arranged a marriage for him, even if he doesn't want to, he has to accept it. Moreover, his poison hasn't been cured, so he has some concerns about his health."

If one can always keep it suppressed with inner strength, perhaps one could live longer. But if not, who knows when it will become uncontrollable Then it would be over completely.

"Xier's analysis is thorough, this king admires it."

Dugu Cheng seriously bowed towards Feng Lingxi, that comical look made Feng Lingxi couldn't help but stand up and glare at him, "Dugu Cheng."

"Xier, this king truly thinks you are very capable. Come, continue speaking." Dugu City reached out and pulled Feng Ling Xi into his embrace, sitting her on his lap, holding her waist from behind, smiling with a face full of pampering.

Wind Ling was embraced by him, her face involuntarily reddened.

"I'm done talking." She tried to wriggle out of his embrace and stand up, but Dugu Cheng didn't let go. He simply held her waist, burying his head in her shoulder, his voice a little weary.

"Xi'er, are you tired"

Feng Lingxi, hearing the fatigue in his tone, replied, "Go wash up and get some rest."

That king tonight could...

Feng Lingxi glared at him angrily. This man was really too spoiled, he treated him well, and then took it for granted.

Even so, Feng Lingxi still liked him.

The days without being targeted were pleasant, Feng Lingxi's life was busy, and in a blink of an eye, half a month passed. Feng Lingxi still hadn't found the poison of Luo Shuang Hua, while Ping Nan Wangfei had suffered from the poison several times already.

Xiao Simu told her that the Pingnan Princess's poison attack was lasting longer and longer, and moreover, the situation after the attack was becoming increasingly severe.

Looking at the situation, he's becoming more and more like Dugu Su.

What astonished Feng Lingxi was that Dugu Su was getting married, and the person she was marrying was none other than Luo Juzhou, the King of Pingbei, whom she had never even considered.a Zhang left without looking back, leaving Feng Yu Xi standing there, trembling with anger. This Empress Cen was truly too much! Feng Linglong, that vile woman, could go in, but she wouldn't let her...
