yes, her expression full of surprise, "How do you know this is the formula for a fake death drug"She didn't mention this, could Dugu City have seen the formula for fake death medicine獨孤城 saw that she..."Mother, has anyone seen your sister hidden here"
"Naturally, there wouldn't be. My mother would know this."
Feng Lingxi suddenly remembered what Luo Li had said to her. It seemed that women who could thrive in the palace were not something to worry about.
"That's good, I'll go out later and see what's happening outside. Mother, please stay here and take care of Aunt. I'll come back later to change her dressing."
Shu Taifei nodded, watching Feng Ling Xi take Li Wu Yan out. She hurriedly ordered someone to check the surroundings carefully.
"You have nothing to worry about, there are masters aplenty there; she'll be fine."
"Masters like clouds"
Feng Ling Xi looked at Li Wu Yan in bewilderment, seeing him nod. "Are you talking about my stepmother"
"Well, there are at least five or six top-tier experts."
Feng Lingxi heard Li Wuyan's words, although she was surprised, but more shocked by Li Wuyan, "I didn't expect you to be a top expert too." Otherwise, how could he have discovered the existence of these experts.
"Just fur."
Li Wuyan's tone was flat, seemingly disinterested in these matters.
"Let's go see if Luo Li is back." I wonder what's going on with grandpa.
Feng Lingxi returned to Li Wu's courtyard. Luoli hadn't come back yet, so Li Wu began to make a tonic for her, letting Feng Lingxi drink it before going back.
"Your Highness, there is no news from the palace."
Xiaoli watched the Queen's face pale, "You rest first, I'll keep watch, and I'll let you know immediately if there's any news."
Feng Lingxi nodded. She wasn't alone now; she had to rest for the child's sake. Only then could she plan her escape.
The assassination attempt was never mentioned within the palace walls, and there wasn't even a trace of an investigation into the assassin. This left Feng Lingxi confused. Furthermore, after that day, she hadn't heard any news from the palace at all.
"Mother, how is your sister"
Over the past two days, Duolugu City’s aunt has also woken up and recovered very well. She was treated by Feng Lingxi and Li Wuyan, two skilled doctors. It's really remarkable.
Shu Taifei nodded and pulled Feng Lingxi inside. Looking at the smile on her mother's face, Feng Lingxi had never seen her mother so pure and like a young girl's smile.
"Sùsù, look at my daughter-in-law."
Wind Ling was dragged before her aunt. Although Aunt Su's face was pale and she had changed into a new set of clothes, her slender frame couldn't hide the aura of a female martial artist.
"Xi'er has met her aunt."
"That's great, she's beautiful and skilled in medicine. Sister, you're truly lucky."
Su Su praised, waving towards Feng Ling Xi, "When we get out, let's go back and see your grandfather and uncles with Aunt. They will definitely like you."
"Okay."
Feng Lingxi looked at the smile on her aunt's face and, taking her hand, she began to tell her stories of her travels. However, when she mentioned Du Gu Xiu's tyrannical acts, she became indignant. Feng Lingxi quickly soothed her.
"Aunt, listen to my advice on this matter. Don't act rashly. Although the emperor deserves to die, you alone can only end up with your bones piled white, and it won't be worth it."
Feng Ling Xi's words made Su Su displeased.
Even if I were to sacrifice myself, there would still be many people in the Jianghu who would try to assassinate him, unless he could escape the pursuit of the Jianghu people.
"Aunt, I saw him a few days ago at the palace. He was poisoned. Even if you don't kill him, he won't live for long. This empire will eventually change hands."
Feng Lingxi told her the truth, lest this aunt impulsively attempt an assassination again. After all, she had only just managed to save her.
"Is this true"
Su Su hurriedly asked, seeing Feng Ling Xi nod her head, her eyes turning away in confusion.
"Why was he poisoned Do you know who did it"
Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I only know that this is a love curse, it will make him change drastically in temperament, debauched and unrestrained. All his atrocities and tyranny during this time can be explained."
"The tyrant, driven by his selfish desires, has caused countless innocent lives to be lost. He even spared not the women and children of his own brother, a true beast."
"Auntie, please don't get angry, be careful of your wound."
Feng Lingxi soothed, "Although he deserves to die, you shouldn't have assassinated him. The Empress Dowager already has plans to replace him. As long as he doesn't cause us trouble, that's fine."
"How can you be so weak For your own safety, are you going to let those innocent women die at his hands" Su Su was dissatisfied with Feng Ling Xi's words, her tone becoming slightly agitated.
"Aunt, he can't harm those young ladies now. I poisoned him when I left the palace. He is now pure-hearted and indifferent to worldly desires, unable to harm any girls." Feng Lingxi spoke in a veiled manner, but it was clear enough.
She's currently experiencing quite severe morning sickness. If she were to get into trouble at this time, with so many eyes in the palace watching her, once they knew she was pregnant, there's no way they would let her off. She fears that countless more pairs of eyes would be watching her every move, and it would be even harder to leave when the time came.
The anger on Su Su's face vanished instantly, and she looked at Feng Ling Xi with admiration in her eyes.
"This is good, let him taste the pain of getting but not having. However, why don't you just poison him directly and save him from harming humanity"
"Susu, Xi'er does this for a reason. Both she and I are from the Great Yuan dynasty, we don't need to be as cautious as you."
The Shu Taifei spoke, “Xier, you poisoned Dugu Xiu. Did he do something to offend you”
Feng Ling Xi's body stiffened slightly, looking at her mother concubine's worried eyes, she didn't want to hide it from her.
"I had some disputes with him in the past, he wanted to get even with me, I had no choice but to poison myself to protect myself."
"Your father emperor once said that anyone could rule this empire, just not him. I never thought that Empress Cen would push such a disaster into power to protect her own position. Now, I'm afraid she will have to face the consequences herself."
"So be it."
Even though Empress Dowager Cen cared deeply about the Yao treasures, she was powerless to do anything about it.
However, Empress Cen wanted to make Dugu Su emperor. If Dugu Su were truly a good person, with his intelligence and talent, whether he could be an enlightened ruler is unknown. But the antidote to Falling Frost Flower might not be possible to create.
"Who does the Empress Dowager want to make the new emperor"
The Dowager Empress Shu Tai looked at Feng Lingxi's worried brow, "Is it about Prince Su"
"Yes, she asked me to research the antidote for Frostflower, but the recipe is missing some words. I haven't been able to complete it yet and am not sure if it will be possible to make."
"This Prince Su is no pushover. If he were to become emperor, the Yuan dynasty's throne would likely not have a place for Empress Cen."
After Shu Taifei finished speaking, she looked at Feng Lingxi, "Is there a way to develop an antidote"
"Mother Empress, would you like this antidote"
According to Empress Yicen's intention, it would be best to make Prince Su the new emperor. This way, if Prince Su eliminates Empress Yicen, it would be a good thing for you and the court.
Feng Lingxi frowned. She didn't mind, this Empress Cen had always been good to her. Currently, she was stretched thin, wanting the Yao Clan treasure wasn't feasible, but as for this King Su, if he became emperor, would he harm Dugu Citylared at her, “Don’t you quickly apologize to the Fourth Princess Could it be that I really have to send you back before you listen”When Shu Taifei saw Luo Juzhou crying like a little girl, she felt a...
