d unhappily, “This Zhaoran County Princess is so rude. You're a four-ranking princess anyway, how come you don't know how to retort her Even if something happens, your mother will support you.""Mother..."Fourth Princess, Your Royal Highness's Master is waiting for you in the back garden."
Seeing her arrive, Li Guanjia hurried forward. He didn't look as aged as he did the first time they met, and his eyes seemed much more lively.
"It turns out, your lord knows I'm coming."
"Please, Your Highness the Fourth Princess."
Li Guanjia's smile became ambiguous, completely different from when they first met. It seemed that Dugu Su and Li Guanjia had been honest with each other about their transactions.
When I reached Dugu Su's courtyard, it was still as desolate as the day I first saw it. If there was any change at all, it was that the weeds in the courtyard had been trimmed, giving it a faint hint of human presence.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess Consort has arrived."
Dugu Su turned his wheelchair, looking at Feng Ling Xi. A smile graced his pale handsome face as he pointed to the stone bench beside him. "Please sit, Fourth Royal Highness. Butler, bring tea."
Xiao Li hurriedly went over and touched the stone bench, there was no dust. However, her action caused Feng Ling Xi to rebuke her, "Xiao Li, be polite."
"The Fourth Princess needn't blame her, this Manor doesn't have servants. She does this for the sake of the Fourth Princess."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know my mistake."
Xiaoli immediately apologized. Feng Lingxi walked over and sat down. Xiaoli stood beside her, carefully serving her.
Here and last time, although it looks much cleaner, there are still many differences. She was just worried about the stool and wanted to check for the princess.
Feng Lingxi knew Xiao Li was afraid she would get hurt, but since Du Gu Su had said they were not enemies, for now, he wouldn't hurt her. For the time being, she was still safe.
She just didn't know why Dugu Cheng had her investigate Dugu Su.
"Since the Fourth Princess has come today, she must have something important she wishes to ask of this King. Why don't you just speak your mind"
Feng Lingxi swept across the Su Wangfu, "I do have a question, and I hope that His Royal Highness, the King of Su, can answer it."
Dugu Su nodded, and his gaze towards Feng Lingxi deepened.
Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment before asking, "May I ask if Your Highness, King Su, and the current Empress are acquainted"
"I don't know."
Du Gu Su replied, looking at Feng Ling Xi's narrowed eyes, "This king despises lying to the Fourth Princess. I don't know her."
And what about the wind and rain
Wind Lingxi asked again, Dugu Su stared at Wind Lingxi with an unclear look in his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."
獨孤蘇的回答讓風淩兮很不爽，如果真的不認識，那麼這風雨夕背後的人是誰？
"Is the Fourth Royal Wife doubting this King's words"
"I thought Prince Su would know her."
Dugu Su narrowed her eyes, "Why"
Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, looking at Dugu Su's puzzled expression. "It's useless to say these things now. Since she has nothing to do with Prince Su, then I won't trouble you about the matter between her and me."
獨孤蘇明白地點了點頭，“既然如此，本王就不再多問了。”
Feng Lingxi was truly unable to discern any clues from Dugu Su's eyes. She couldn't tell if he was genuinely innocent of colluding with Feng Yu Xi, or if he was simply hiding it too well.
"This king has a question I'd like to ask the Fourth Royal Consort. I wonder if she could enlighten me"
Feng Lingxi made a gesture of invitation, and Dugu Su said, "This king has heard that the Fourth Princess's medical skills are superb. Not only is she skilled in treating people, but she is also skilled in using poison. Is this true"
"Does King Su want to be cured"
獨孤蘇搖頭，“本王隻想問問，四王妃是否聽說過落霜花。”
"Falling frost flower"
Feng Lingxi raised her brow slightly, a thought blooming in her mind like frost-kissed flowers. But she knew this wasn't what it meant.
“This is a poison, 365 days a year, a little bit forming in the body every day. When it reaches the Frost Descent (frost season), the body seems to be covered with a layer of frost, feeling unbearably cold, suffering from frostbite year after year, until the body can no longer bear it and dies.”
Feng Lingxi believed she knew quite a bit about poison, but the kind Du Gu Su described was unheard of.
"How could such a poison exist in the world"
獨孤蘇淒然一笑，“是啊，若非親眼所見，誰又相信世間有這樣的毒存在。” Dugu Su gave a wry smile, "Indeed, if not seen with one's own eyes, who would believe that such a poison exists in the world."
Feng Ling Xi's gaze fell upon his legs, "Could the poison among the Su King's men be this frost flower"
Dugu Su smiled without answering.
Feng Lingxi wanted to step forward to check, but Dugu Su reached out to stop her.
"The Fourth Royal Concubine, men and women should not be intimate."
Feng Lingxi stared at Dugu Su, her expression serious. "King Dugu, please treat me as a doctor. A doctor can treat women, so why can't a female doctor treat men Besides, I'm just checking, with no ill intentions."
Dugu Su took his hand away, watching Feng Lingxi squat down and touch his leg. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Feng Ling reached out and pressed his knee, then looked up and asked, "Do you feel it"
Both legs were paralyzed and numb.
Feng Lingxi, hearing his words, took out a silver needle from her sleeve and inserted it into the acupuncture points on his leg. When she pulled it out, a layer of frost quickly covered the surface of the silver needle, causing Feng Lingxi's eyes to widen in disbelief.
"This is the Frost Flower"
Xiaoli hurried forward, looking at the silver needle in the Queen's hand, and helped the Queen up.
"Your Highness, beware of the poison."
Dugu Su looked at Feng Ling Xi's shocked eyes, "This poison doesn't know how to solve it, and I don't know when it entered the body. The Fourth Princess be careful."
Hearing this, Xiao Li was so nervous that she wanted to help the princess take the silver needle, but Feng Lingxi refused. Looking at the frost on the silver needle in her hand, she said to Xiao Li, "Wrap it up."
Xiao Li understood and quickly put away the silver needles. Feng Ling Xi then looked at Du Gu Su, "Your Majesty, how long has it been"
More than ten years.
Feng Lingxi, "Although I don't have complete confidence, thank you for being willing to tell me."
Dugu Su smiled, "Fourth Royal Princess, you are wise. This king heard that the fourth brother returned today. For this matter, I hope Fourth Royal Princess won't mention it to him."
Feng Lingxi responded and left with Xiaoli.
"Your Highness, why would you let the Fourth Princess know about the Frostfall Flower Didn't you say..."
"This poison has no antidote. Everyone says she is skilled in medicine, and her poisons are unheard of. The king is just curious."
Dugu Su turned his wheelchair, and in a low voice, he commanded, "Inform everyone to halt all operations."
Li Guantang responded, and Dugu Su watched Feng Lingxi's departing figure. He supported his wheelchair with both hands, clapped once, leaped from the courtyard, and left only the wheelchair where he had just been sitting.
Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li walked out of Su Wangfu, suddenly turned around and looked back, their eyes suspicious.
"My Queen, what is wrong"
Xiao Li hurriedly asked, Feng Ling Xi looked at the location of the courtyard. For some reason, she always felt that what Du Gu Su had just said was full of meaning, and she didn't know if it was her understanding.
"Xiao Li, do you think this Prince Su really has nothing to do with Feng Yu Xi"en met with the man in black. Afterwards, she continued wandering around the forest with Xiaorou, taking advantage of this to knock Xiaorou unconscious. She spoke with the man in black for more than...
