xi's hand. "Xier, why didn't you agree to give Cen Taizu the military power in my hands It doesn't matter if I don't become this prince, as long as we are together, even if I am just a peasant in the...Feng Lingxi, seeing the wariness in Ye Xi's eyes, motioned for him to come into the room. She told Xiao Li to close the door and guard it.
"Ye Xi, did something happen to Dugu City"
Wind Lingxi hastily asked, Ye Xi shook her head, "The King ordered his subordinate to tell the Princess Consort that the Sixth Prince had agreed to help find Taifu, and let his subordinate inform the Princess Consort to take good care of herself, and wait for the King to finish his business before picking up the Princess Consort back home. The Princess Consort should be careful in everything at the Third Prince's Mansion."
"Dugu Xiu to help"
Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "How could Dugu Xiu agree to help"
"The King sought the Empress Dowager's help. This is a long story, but rest assured, Your Highness, everything is well with the King. You needn't worry."
Wind Ling Xi nodded, Du Gu Cheng was fine, so she felt relieved.
"The Third Royal Consort was poisoned. My husband and I made a deal: I'd cure her, and he'd help me rescue my mother. You should have Dugu City keep an eye on things, secretly."
"This is as far as I can go, Your Highness. Be careful here and know that I left undetected. I cannot stay long, so I must take my leave now."
"Be careful."
Ye Xi left through the window. Feng Lingxi watched Ye Xi's departing figure, her eyes clouding with worry. She also knew that it would take a few days for the empress dowager to safely return to the manor.
"Your Highness, will there be danger for Ye Xi this time The Third Prince has many eyes and ears, he's taking too much of a risk."
Xiaoli's words, Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly, "Let's go for a walk."
Xiaoli quickly helped the princess put on a fox fur cloak. The snow was falling heavily in the courtyard, it was bitterly cold. Feng Lingxi pulled the fox fur close and looked at the blooming snow plum blossoms in the courtyard before heading towards Dugu Yu's study.
"Give notice, I wish to see the Three Lords."
"Your Highness, the Lord hasn't returned yet."
Feng Lingxi frowned, she hadn't returned yet. Was this Dugu Yu truly helping her find her mother, or did he have other intentions She moved freely within the manor and hadn't heard any sign of an assassin entering. Ye Xi should have escaped safely.
"When the three princes return, tell them that I need to see him about something regarding the third princess. Please ask him to come meet me."
Wind Lingxi finished giving the orders and then left.
The weather outside was bitterly cold, with a biting wind and snowflakes falling on her body. The chill went right through her. This first snowfall of winter had been going on for two days straight, showing no signs of stopping. This road would be very difficult to travel, but I hope Ye Xi can safely return to the palace.
The next morning, Dugu Yu was waiting at Feng Lingxi's door. When she came out, his tone softened. "I heard that the Fourth Princess looked for me last night and you didn't return until late, so I came over this morning."
"It's about the Third Royal Wife's illness. The cold poison in her body is very fierce. Although the medicinal herbs I prepared can expel the cold poison, her foundation is too weak. The next medicine bath might be too much for her to bear, so I want to ask the Third Royal Prince for something."
"Whatever the Fourth Royal Consort needs, just tell this King."
"The older the Tian Shan snow lotus, the better."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking, and Duguyu's face darkened, "It has to be the Tian Shan snow lotus"
"As for the current situation of the Third Princess, it's best to have this herb. Moreover, it's not just a matter of needing one. The time for harvesting snowflakes has also passed, so this medicinal ingredient is quite hard to find."
"The prince's mansion in Liangzhou does have a few Tian Shan snow lotuses, but the journey is far, and it would take some time to deliver them…"
"At the latest, five days."
Feng Lingxi interrupted him, "Otherwise the Third Princess's body wouldn't be able to withstand it. You don't want her body to be harmed, do you"
"This king will go to the major apothecaries in the capital city to see if he can find this Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus."
"The apothecary certainly wouldn't have it, but with this Western Regions envoy arriving, his tribute would definitely include this Tian Shan Snow Lotus. Moreover, the Empress Dowager must surely have a Tian Shan Snow Lotus in her possession. Third Prince, perhaps you should try here."
"The tribute hasn't entered the palace yet. How could we talk about tribute if it hasn't As for the Empress Dowager, this king wouldn't even be able to get his hands on anything there."
Dugu Yu looked at Feng Lingxi, "Please advise the Fourth Princess, besides these places, where else can I find this Tian Shan snow lotus"
As far as I know, these are all the places. It seems like only the Third Prince can find them himself.
Feng Lingxi's words plunged Dugu Yu into silence. It was impossible for Empress Cen to give him the Tian Shan snow lotus, there wasn't any in the capital apothecaries, was he going to steal tribute offerings
"This king will find a way."
獨孤宇 looked at Feng Lingxi, "I ask the Fourth Princess to help Wan'er extend her life. This king will bring back the snow lotus from Tianshan as soon as possible."
Feng Lingxi responded, watching his departing figure. She furrowed her brows. Was this empress truly so disagreeable towards him
"Your dowry included the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, didn't you forget"
Xiao Li reminded, Feng Ling Xi looked at Xiao Li, seeing her nod, her brows furrowed.
"How would I know You've probably got it wrong."
Even if she had the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, she wouldn't take it out. She would keep such a precious medicine for herself, in case she needed it someday. If this Dugu Yu really kidnapped her mother concubine, he wouldn't deserve her to use the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to save the Third Princess Consort, regardless of whether she was innocent or not.
Everyone has selfish desires, she is no exception.
Xiao Li understood the princess's meaning and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is right, I made a mistake. It was the eldest lady's dowry that had the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus."
Feng Lingxi let out a sigh, "I wonder how things are at the General's Mansion now. Without me, Feng Linglong and Feng Yuxi must be gone."
"Those who make alliances out of desperation, naturally live comfortably."
When it came to them, Xiaoli became very unhappy. Each one of them was scheming against the princess; she didn't have any good feelings towards them at all.
The Western Regions envoy calculated the time, and it should be time to return to the capital.
I don't know if she can attend this banquet.
After all, she also wanted to see what the Western Regions envoy had brought as tribute, and Huangfu Qingyun, if he knew she was missing, he would probably be worried too, right
"The princess wants to see Prince Huangfu, doesn't she"
Feng Lingxi calmly said, "I'm just worried that if he finds out about my disappearance this time, he'll be worried. I wanted to give him a heads up and let him know I'm safe. After all, it's not like I can't call him brother emperor, right"
Xiao Li sighed, "The Princess treats him like an elder brother, but that's not how he feels."
"No need to say more, go prepare a medicinal bath for the Third Royal Consort."
Xiaoli watched the princess change the subject and made a sticking-out-her-tongue gesture. The princess was always like this, dodging the question every time. Everyone knew that Prince Huofeng liked the princess, but it was just a one-sided love. The princess already had the King, otherwise, being with Prince Huofeng would be pretty good, as the Li Yao clan wasn't far away either.
The capital
Huangpu Qingyun learned that Feng Lingxi had disappeared and went straight to Dugu City to inquire about the reason. He was very angry when he learned the truth, blaming Dugu City for not informing him of such a major incident. However, after learning that Feng Lingxi was in Dugu Yu's hands, Huangpu Qingyun came up with a plan to rescue her.
"This king sent Ye Xi to inform Xi'er, and we will talk after Ye Xi returns."
Du Gu Yu wouldn't harm Xi Er, she is safe there for now. As for the Empress Dowager, there's still no news of her whereabouts, and we don't know who has taken her.
