to the capital to be questioned, saying that she had poisoned the Emperor and wanted her to return to Beijing to plead guilty. She was publicly beheaded by Dugu City, causing dissatisfaction among the..." Empress Dowager, please don't say that. Yao Hua just happens to know how to antidote it."

A cold glint flashed in Empress Cen's eyes. She happened to know how to antidote poisons. These days, Yao Hua had been taking care of her. Could this poison be related to her

Dugu Yan saw her mother give birth and felt suspicious. Her sword eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked at Feng Lingxi's calm eyes. Then, she heard Feng Lingxi speak, "Yao Hua loves poisons, so it's not surprising that she can detoxify them. Although the poison used by the person who poisoned was rare, it wouldn't be difficult for me."

When Empress Cen heard this, she recalled that Feng Lingxi had once told her about her interest in poisons when she entered the palace.

"Yao Hua, I meant nothing by it. Don't overthink it."

Feng Lingxi smiled and shook her head, "How could that be Yaohua might be skilled in alchemy, but she wouldn't harm the Empress Dowager. After all, the Empress Dowager treats Yaohua so well."

When Empress Cen heard these words, if it was really Yao Hua who had poisoned her, why would she give her an antidote Dismissing the thought from her mind, Empress Cen shifted the suspect to Du Gu Cheng, who had just returned. But Du Gu Cheng hadn't even entered the palace or had a chance to contact her, so how could he have poisoned her

Having ruled out the possibility of Dugu City poisoning, Empress Cen then thought of Consort Shu. However, that lowly woman was imprisoned by her and had no chance to see her, let alone poison her.

"Mother, this time thanks to Princess Yao Hua's antidote, these imperial physicians were helpless and unable to find a cure. It was Princess Yao Hua who saved your life. I want to reward her well."

"Oh"

Empress Cen raised an eyebrow, hearing what Dugu Yan said, her suspicion came back again. How could it be such a coincidence that she was the only one who could cure her poison

"Yao Hua, what poison is in my body"

"Mother Empress, Princess Yaohua said that her sect doesn't allow the revealing of their unique poisons, so please don't make things difficult for her," Before Feng Lingxi could speak, Dugu Yan relayed what Princess Yaohua had just said to the Mother Empress. Looking at the suspicion in her mother's eyes deepen, a layer of coldness gradually appeared in her gaze.

Feng Lingxi wasn't afraid at all. Even when Dugu Yan spoke like that, she remained calm. If she had been the first to lose her composure, wouldn't Dugu Yan have become even more suspicious

"Empress Dowager, according to the rules of our sect, Yao Hua cannot be spoken of."

Feng Lingxi wore a helpless expression, seeing the unusual glint in Empress Cen's eyes. "If Your Majesty suspects Yao Hua because of this, Yao Hua can only accept it."

The Empress Dowager withdrew her suspicious gaze, looking at Feng Lingxi's calm face and said in a weary voice, "Yao Hua, since it is the sect's rule, this empress won't inquire further. If you truly wanted to poison this empress, how could I have lived to this day"

Feng Ling Xi helped her lie down, “Your Majesty, the poison in your body has just been removed, you need to recuperate for a few days. Don’t speak too much and rest more.”

"Your Majesty, Princess Yao Hua didn't sleep all night, diligently attending to you. Perhaps it would be best if she took a rest first."

Grandma Liu spoke up, though this scheme hadn't succeeded, and Princess Yao Hua hadn't pursued it further. She felt the need to appease Princess Yao Hua, hoping she wouldn't investigate what happened that night.

When Empress Cen heard that Feng Lingxi hadn't slept all night taking care of her, she hurriedly urged, "Yaohua, go to sleep quickly. Your Majesty is fine now, just let Liu Mama take care of her."

Seeing the dark circles under Feng Ling Xi's eyes, Empress Cen felt a twinge of sympathy in her heart. After all, she had been with her for these past few days. The child was kind-hearted, and this incident should have nothing to do with her.

Empress Dowager Cen had already begun to rule out the possibility of Feng Lingxi poisoning her, which also made Dugu Yan's face look rather unpleasant.

If Princess Yao Hua really was the murderer who poisoned her mother, what was her purpose in entering the palace

"Empress Dowager, Yao Hua will go back to rest for a while. You should rest as well, and I'll come see you later."

Before Feng Lingxi left, she did not forget to tell Liu Maama to remember to make medicine for the Empress Dowager.

Bidding farewell to Dugu Yan and the Empress, Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li away and returned to her own bedroom. She collapsed on the bed, too tired to move.

If it weren't for waiting for the Empress Dowager to wash away her crimes, she really wanted to poison Empress Cen to death this time.

"Princess, are you alright"

Xiao Li looked at the Queen's weary face with worry, afraid that she was too tired to hold on.

"I'm just a bit tired." She hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in two days and all she wanted now was to have a good long sleep.

The Empress Dowager seems to have her suspicions.

Xiaoli spoke in a low voice. Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up and covered Xiaoli's mouth, giving her a look and lowering her voice, "Be careful, walls have ears."

This is a crucial moment. Empress Cen has grown suspicious and will certainly send people to watch her every move. What's more, Dugu Yan and the Empress seem to have also begun to suspect her identity. She must be extremely careful right now and not make any careless mistakes.

Xiao Li nodded, Feng Ling Xi let go of her, "Go rest, it's okay."

"I will attend to your rest."

After Feng Lingxi fell asleep, Xiaoli just lay down and fell asleep not far from her. The princess hadn't slept last night, and she also didn't close her eyes all night. As the princess said, doing nothing was the safest.

Shou'an Palace

When Empress Cen's eyeliner returned, Du Gu Yan and the Empress exchanged glances, looking at the Dowager Empress.

"Mother, Princess Yao Hua has been attending to you these days. She is the most suspect, and she's skilled in poisons. One can't say for sure that this poison wasn't put on her."

"Go and have the imperial physician look at the herbs used to treat Princess YaoHua. Find out what kind of herbs they are and if they can truly detoxify."

Empress Cen's eyes suddenly turned cold. "If she really dares to poison me, I won't let her off."

Grandma Liu personally delivered the medicinal herbs to Taiping Hospital for confirmation, but Dugu Yan was still uneasy.

"Mother, I want to confirm one thing."

Queen Cen narrowed her eyes, "What does the Emperor want to confirm"

"Is the identity of Princess Yao Hua true"

Dugu Yan's words made Cen Taizi frown, "Does the Emperor mean that Princess Yao Hua is fake"

In this sweltering summer, you dare to bring a fake princess here to force a marriage

"My observations over the past two days indicate that although Princess Yao Hua appears to be lively and willful on the surface, she shares similarities with Feng Ling Xi. Both possess medical skills. I recall a battle where Feng Ling Xi in Lin Xi County caused tens of thousands of my horses to become ill. This could be considered a form of poison technique as well. Furthermore, Feng Ling Xi was rescued in the Chao Dynasty, and Dugu City also went there. Coupled with previous events such as Huang Fu Qingyun and Dugu City joining forces to destroy the Gallo Kingdom, these connections lead me to suspect that Princess Yao Hua is actually Feng Ling Xi."

"What did you say How could YaoHua be Feng Ling Xi."

Empress Cen’s face was ashen. If it really was Feng Lingxi, why had she stayed by her side all this time Feng Lingxi could have killed her countless times over if she wanted to. She didn’t believe Yao Hua could be Feng Lingxi.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yaohua's appearance is completely different from Feng Lingxi's. Furthermore, after Fourth Prince returned to the capital, there was no interaction between him and Crown Prince. This concubine simply cannot believe that Yaohua is Feng Lingxi."

"I find it hard to believe as well."

Du Gu Yan narrowed her eyes, "Don't forget, there are people in this world who can make things like human skin masks. It's possible that Feng Ling Xi became Princess Yao Hua this way."ed with fervor, her beautiful eyes radiating a chilling coldness as she gazed at Luoli. "Could it be that he is justified in causing harm Attempting to assassinate the Holy Maiden, according to clan...
