Chapter 488: Revenge 132

When he saw Xi'er, his usual domineering aura seemed to disappear entirely, and he didn't even show any signs of jealousy."Xier, you say."Dugu Cheng pulled Feng Ling Xi's hand and made her sit down...."How do you know he hasn't been detoxified The imperial physicians have all examined him. The poison on his body appears light, but it is actually fierce and deadly. I'm afraid only you have the skill to cure him."

Cen Taizi's words caused Feng Lingxi to furrow her brow slightly, "Grand Empress Dowager, the imperial physicians in this palace are all carefully selected and tested. They can't find an antidote, how could I, a mere itinerant doctor, possibly have one"

The Empress was probing her, wanting to know if the poison had anything to do with her.

However, she is ruthless. Even in Linxi County, people suspect her. She really has no one to blame for her paranoia.

Although this poison is indeed related to her, it wasn't her who administered it. The fact that Dugu Xiu was able to poison Dugu Yan without being detected indicates that someone in the palace is helping him. As for who that person might be, she couldn't be sure.

Perhaps it was an evening of wind and rain, perhaps the empress dowager had returned.

"Your medical skills, Your Majesty, are well-known. If you're unable to cure this poison, then there's nothing to be done. However, the Emperor cannot suffer any harm."

Queen Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, "If something happened to him, this throne would cause strife. At that time, all the ministers would recommend the Fourth Prince as emperor. Do you think the other princes would agree There would be bloodshed inevitable. Now that the envoys from the small countries in the West have arrived, we can't afford any problems at this crucial juncture."

"Your Majesty, are you asking me to help the Emperor with his poison"

Threatening her with Dugu City This Empress Cen seems to have forgotten that Dugu City is also someone who could threaten her, isn't he

Even without their 500,000 troops at hand, if anything were to happen to Dugu City, the Great Yuan Dynasty would surely be thrown into chaos.

Queen Cen looked at her, "Don't you think you want to risk Duke Dugu"

"The Empress Dowager is right. If Du Gucheng was truly in danger, I wouldn't have agreed. Therefore, I helped Du Guyan with the antidote."

This Dugu Xiu wants to easily poison Dugu Yan to death and take control of the government. If he were allowed to do so, it wouldn't be interesting. On the contrary, by helping Dugu Yan, she would inevitably offend Dugu Xiu, and Dugu Xiu would certainly think that she and Dugu Yan were collaborating. These two brothers are probably going to be wary of her.

Feng Lingxi's lips curled into a deeper smile. This time, she had to play this game well and absolutely couldn't lose.

"With the Lunar New Year approaching, Empress Dowager shouldn't want me and my mother to be separated, should she"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and Empress Cen naturally knew what she meant. She rubbed her temples, saying with a headache, "This empress knows what to do. You go back first, and tomorrow this empress will send your mother back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

Wind Lingxi said thanks, thinking of the current situation of Sifang Wangfu, her beautiful eyes flickered, "What about the people in Sifang Wangfu..."

Queen Cen waved her hand, “Retreat. Do it all your way.”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. Then I shall return now. Tomorrow, my mother will arrive at the palace and begin preparing the antidote for Your Majesty."

When Empress Cen heard this, she was slightly surprised. It seemed that she knew a lot about the emperor's poison and suspected a connection to her. However, she was far away at the border, so how could she have poisoned the emperor She dismissed her suspicions and sent Feng Lingxi back.

To ensure Feng Lingxi could leave the palace smoothly, Empress Cen specially ordered someone to take Feng Lingxi to the palace gate and personally saw her onto the carriage before returning.

Feng Lingxi returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Dugu Cheng was in the courtyard of Shutai's, watching the doctors invited by outside surround Shutai's room. The medicinal scent permeating the air made Feng Lingxi's brows furrow slightly.

"My Lord, the Fourth Madam has arrived."

Wind Lingxi entered the room. Dugu Cheng was serving Empress Shu at her bedside. Hearing Wind Lingxi's return, he hurriedly got up and walked over, sizing her up from head to toe. Seeing that she was unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Dugu Cheng responded, and Feng Lingxi walked up to Shu Taifei. Seeing Shu Taifei's pale face, she ordered, "Go get me some hot water, Xiao Li go get my medicine box."

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Lingxi prepare to treat his mother, and squatted down, "Xier, the doctor said that your mother's illness is afraid of..."

Feng Lingxi looked at the worry in Dugu Cheng's eyes and softly said, "Dugu Cheng, go buy me a few herbs."

Feng Lingxi got up, took a pen and paper to write down several types of medicine. Dugu City looked at the five poisons on top with confusion, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xi'er, what is this"

Feng Lingxi glanced at Shu Taifei, "Trust me."

Dugu City got up, took the medicine and went out. Xi'er's medical skills have always been incomprehensible and unfathomable, but he believed that if Xi'er said there was a way, she would never deceive him.

Feng Ling ordered someone to close the door tightly, then opened the medicine chest and began the operation.

For her, everything in the room, besides herself and Xiao Li, Empress Dowager Shu had already fallen into a coma. The attendants didn't know what had happened to her. When Dugu Cheng returned, Feng Ling Xi's surgery was complete. Exhausted, she took a sip of water and looked at the medicinal herbs Dugu Cheng brought back. She instructed Dugu Cheng to have someone take care of Empress Dowager Shu and then returned to her room to rest.

"Xi'er, are these venomous insects and ants not for Mother Concubine to eat"

Everything can be used as medicine, Feng Ling Xi is like that. What worries Dugu City is whether it's really okay for his mother to take these five poisons.

"Of course not, Mother Empress wouldn't eat these."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, thinking of her promise to Empress Cen to detoxify Dugu Yan. She pondered for a while and came up with this idea. It was also a chance for her to practice and see if she could develop other antidotes.

When Dugu Cheng heard that it wasn't for his mother concubine, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was upset again, since it wasn't for his mother concubine, Xi'er had him go find these herbs earlier, and he didn't know who they were for. He still had to run there himself.

"Dugu Yan has been poisoned, and it's not just one kind. The Empress told me to detoxify him, and I'll send your mother back tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi frowned slightly, the smell was really strong and pungent. But thinking that she wasn't the one eating it, she felt a little more at ease.

"She said again about working with you"

Feng Lingxi smirked, "Can she have a good life if she doesn't cooperate with me now This seemingly peaceful palace has long been turbulent undercurrents. This Yu Xi is not easy to deal with, and this Dugu Yan is definitely not a harmless lamp. Don't forget, there's also Dugu Xiu, who is not a kind person either."

Dugu City watched Feng Lingxi's smile with concern, "Since you know it's so dangerous, why go into this mess Aren't you afraid they will all point their fingers at you"

"Won't they come looking if you're afraid"

Feng Lingxi shrugged, looked at Dugu City's anxious eyes, and glanced at him with a hint of grievance, "She threatened me with you."

"Xier..."

Du Gu Cheng frowned, just about to speak, Feng Ling Xi sighed, “I don’t know where they got the courage to threaten you. If there was any use, we could have survived until now I wouldn't have agreed to antidote Du Gu Yan if I didn't want to mislead their attention.”

"Xi'er means that these are all prepared for Dugu Yan"

Looking at those meddling insects, Dugu City frowned, somewhat unable to bear this unusual smell.

"Could it be that I'm still keeping this for myself"
