Chapter 1359: War Begins

he Fourth Prince's Manor, let alone after, is unacceptable. As the legitimate wife, I hold the position of principal consort while you would be a concubine. Is this how your father taught you to speak...Dugu Cheng looked at Wan'er's radiant expression when she mentioned Luoli, his eyes filled with worry.

How long had he been gone, and how long had Luo Li taught Wan'er at her house Dugu City asked the steward and discovered that Luo Li hadn't entered through the main gate, but rather scaled the wall.

Everyone in the household knew, but because of Luoli's special status, no one dared to speak out of turn.

Feng Lingxi came to Tian Xiaomi's courtyard and before even entering, she heard a coughing sound. Feng Lingxi quickly walked in, the courtyard filled with the smell of medicine, but there wasn't a single servant in sight.

"Who!"

Tian Xiaomi inside the room heard footsteps and hurriedly grabbed a pair of scissors nearby, warily watching the figure walk in. Seeing it was Feng Lingxi, Tian Xiaomi's hand trembled and the scissors fell to the ground. She couldn't suppress her cough.

"Xiaomi, what is this..."

"Don't... Don't come any closer."

Tiana Xiao covered her mouth and gasped, but before she could finish speaking, a violent cough overtook her.

"Why didn't you let the butler find a doctor for you even though you were sick"

This cough is frequent and, coupled with shortness of breath, clearly indicates a deficiency in both Qi and blood. Furthermore, the cough has persisted for at least three days.

"I'm fine."

After a while, Tian Xiaomi suppressed her cough and spoke. Feng Lingxi only then saw her face clearly—pale and devoid of color. Furthermore, looking at her swollen eye sockets, it was obvious she hadn't had a good rest.

"Even like this, you say nothing's wrong Let me take a look."

"Don't come here."

Tian Xiaomi saw Feng Lingxi was going to pass by, her voice was very anxious, she hurriedly stopped, and coughed up. This cough lasted for a while before it could be suppressed. After the cough, her face looked even worse.

"Could it be that someone poisoned you"

"It's not poison, it's a plague."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Ling Xi, a bitter smile on her face.

"It's very possible it's the plague you were treated for in Tumo Town."

"Are you saying tuberculosis"

Feng Ling's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Tian Xiaomi's face. Although her complexion was pale and she had a bad cough, she didn't have hemoptysis, chest tightness, or fever, which weren't like the symptoms of tuberculosis.

"You ate this."

Feng Lingxi took out the pills that had been refined from over there and placed one beside her. Tian Xiaomi glanced at them, “Even if I eat it, it won’t be useful, I'm beyond saving.”

"What nonsense are you spouting Who told you there was no hope for you I've seen all the sick people in this Tuomu Town, how could you possibly be hopeless Quickly take this down, it's the cure for the plague."

Tian Xiaomi stared in astonishment at the pills before her, "You're serious"

Feng Lingxi nodded, her eyes anxious. "When have I ever lied to you This is what I developed in Tumu Town. You'd better take it quickly."

Tian Xiaomi hurriedly swallowed the pills, enduring her cough. After a while, the cough came back. Feng Lingxi watched her like this, becoming even more puzzled.

"Has the doctor seen it yet"

"Luoli told me, he said my illness is incurable and that I should rest here and wait for death. He said I am a plague, if you don't want to harm Wan'er, just let me stay here and don't let Wan'er come into contact with me."

Tian Xiaomiping calmed down and said everything in one breath, then coughed violently again. Feng Lingxi took out a silver needle from her bosom and walked over, "You just don't speak, I'll give you a prick, reduce your cough."

After the acupuncture treatment, Tian Xiaomi's cough was not as severe. Combined with the pills she had taken before, it improved somewhat.

Feng Ling reached out to take Tian Xiao Mi's pulse and discovered that her pulse was weak, and there were signs of poisoning.

"Xiao Mi, your body is unharmed. You simply have a severe cold. This Falling Away medical technique truly can't be cured by anything. What plague If this were a plague, then the illnesses I treated in Tumu Town would be incurable."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Feng Ling's voice was full of blame towards Luoli. What exactly was Luoli trying to do

Tian Xiaomi is truly a woman with no strength to tie a chicken, how could they poison her What was their motive

"Is what you're saying true Am I really just suffering from a cold"

"Of course, you think I'm a medical doctor for nothing, don't you"

Looking into Feng Lingxi's eyes, filled with sincerity, Tian Xiaomi's eyes glimmered with a spark of excitement. She gripped Feng Lingxi's hand, her voice trembling, "Your Highness, will I really not die"

"We've already died once, do you think the King of Hell would want us"

Feng Lingxi patted Tian Xiaomi's head and comforted her. Looking at the light that rose in her eyes, a coldness flashed in his own.

She must ask Luoli clearly what she intends to do. First, it was Wan'er, and now it is Tian Xiaomi. After she left Chen Wangfu, he did this to the people around her. It was really disappointing.

"My Queen, you're back. I won't have to die now."

Tears swirled in Tian Xiaomi's eyes, she could no longer hold them back. Tears streamed down her face.

Feng Lingxi comforted her, "Look at you, you coughed so badly just now, and now after taking my medicine, your cough has lessened. So, don't guess randomly, listen to me, be obedient and let me treat you."

Tian Xiaomi nodded with tears in her eyes, she really wanted to hug Feng Lingxi, but she didn't dare, afraid that her illness would be contagious.

"I'm feeling your pulse, I'll give you some medicine later. Guaranteed that after three doses, the illness will be cured."

Tian Xiaomǐ broke into a smile, letting Feng Lingxi take her pulse. Knowing she wouldn't die, her mood lifted considerably.

"Your illness is what Luoli gave you, so are you still taking the medicine she prescribed"

Feng Lingxi asked, seeing her nod, she put down Tian Xiaomi's hand. Anger surged within her, but she could only suppress it in her heart. She really couldn't believe that the poison in Tian Xiaomi's body was from Luo Li. She was just taking care of Wan'er for her, why did Luo Li have to be so cruel and give her such a chronic poison

This poison is similar to the plague described by Xiao Mi. It causes coughing, shortness of breath, and toxins spread throughout the body's five internal organs and six fu organs. When the heart is poisoned, blood flows from the seven orifices and death ensues.

"How many days have you taken his medicine"

"Three days."

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes, where a suppressed anger flickered. She endured the cough and said, "He is Wan'er's master, and he knows both you and the King. He helped me with my illness, I had no reason to doubt him."

"Don't take any medicine indiscriminately in the future."

Tian Xiaomi nodded, watching Feng Lingxi give her an injection. She used to be terrified of needles, but this time, she wasn't afraid at all. In fact, watching Feng Lingxi administer the injection, her eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a surge of helplessness that made her want to cry out loud.

She knew it was very likely Luo Li who had caused her to become this way.

Feng Lingxi finished giving Tian Xiaomi acupuncture, and looking at the tears in the corner of her eyes, she softly comforted, "Does it hurt"

Tian Xiaomi shook her head, tears streaming down her face, she was heartbroken.

She has been working so hard to do her best, why would this person try to harm her

Feng Lingxi took her handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, I'll make you some medicine later, after you take the medicine, you'll be fine."

"What will happen to me if I take that plague medicine you just gave me"

"It's alright, that medicine works."

Feng Lingxi's words caused Tian Xiaomǐ to cry even harder, subconsciously clutching Feng Lingxi's sleeve and choking out, "Your Highness, please tell me truthfully, was I harmed by Luoli like this" into the cave. She looked at the stones inside the cave, crouched down, picked up one and sniffed it at her nose. Her face was full of disbelief. This was really saltpeter. Saltpeter could solidify i...
