th her.Duke Gucheng gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, "Stay well in the palace and avoid any trouble, Xi. I will find you once I've taken care of things here.""Dangerous"Feng Lingx...Dugu Cheng responded and hurriedly protected her as she walked forward. When the Empress saw Feng Lingxi coming up to check on the Emperor, her face darkened, and she angrily rebuked, "What are you doing Your Majesty's dragon body, how can you..."

Feng Lingxi glanced at her, and Dugu City coldly sneered, "Whoever dares to obstruct the Fourth Princess will be killed without mercy!"

The Imperial Forest Army quickly took control of the scene. The Empress looked at Dugu City, her eyes filled with anger. Feng Lingxi had already begun to administer acupuncture on the spot.

"Fourth Wangye, what do you mean by this The imperial physician hasn't arrived, and you have her, this fool, treating the Emperor with acupuncture! If something were to happen to the Emperor, could you possibly bear the responsibility"

Although her words were harsh, the empress dared not step forward. Dugu City's prestige in the Yuanxing Dynasty was unmatched, wielding immense power. Every soldier of the Yuanxing Dynasty held him in high regard.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you let me try first What harm could it do"

"What do you mean, Noble Consort Does the Emperor's health allow anyone to treat him at will Everyone knows that Feng Lingxi is nothing but a simple girl with a damaged mind. You defend her like this, what if something happens to the Emperor Who will be responsible"

The Empress, word by word, was directed at Feng Ling Xi. She didn't believe that Feng Ling Xi could still have this ability.

"The Emperor is awake."

The eunuch standing beside the Emperor exclaimed with joy, the Empress's face turned pale, she turned to look at the Emperor who had woken up, unbelievable, this Feng Lingxi really cured the Emperor.

"How is the Emperor feeling"

Feng Lingxi asked, "Your Majesty," and the emperor weakly nodded in response.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. A moment of rest will do you good."

The emperor nodded and watched as Feng Lingxi drew out the golden needle and put it away.

"Let's escort the Emperor back to his palace."

Dugu City walked to Feng Lingxi's face, seeing that the emperor's complexion had improved, he hurriedly ordered someone to send the emperor back to the bedroom.

"Come here, you two as well."

The Emperor spoke, and Dugu City took Feng Lingxi to the Emperor's bedroom. The Empress watched the Emperor's attitude towards them, angrily clenching her fists. She really didn't expect that Feng Lingxi would actually be capable, managing to cure the Emperor.

The Empress and the others also arrived at the Emperor's bedroom. The imperial physicians had all rushed over and, after feeling the Emperor's pulse, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's body is currently unharmed. Thankfully, Your Majesty's anger has been released, otherwise, Your Majesty would be in danger."

"It was the Fourth Princess who gave me acupuncture."

The Emperor spoke, and the imperial physician looked at Feng Lingxi in surprise. He hurriedly asked, “How did the Fourth Princess know about using acupuncture to release air”

Feng Lingxi saw all eyes were on her, and she calmly said, "When I was ill, I met a wandering doctor who cured me. I learned some superficial skills from him. Please forgive my ugliness."

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess is being too modest. This isn't something she learned overnight."

The doctor's words surprised everyone present. It was common knowledge that the Fourth Miss of the General's Mansion had suffered brain damage at the age of five, becoming foolish and vacant. Now, she suddenly became a skilled physician, which was truly astonishing.

"The Fourth Royal Consort saved me, I shall reward her greatly. Whatever she desires, the Fourth Royal Consort may speak freely, and I shall grant it."

Feng Lingxi heard the emperor's words and suddenly had a surge of impulse. She wanted to tell the emperor to call off her marriage to Dugu Cheng, but looking at Dugu Cheng's gaze fixed on her, she hesitated.

Dugu Cheng looked at her with those eyes, especially nervous. Would she take this opportunity to ask the Emperor to dissolve their marriage If she did, the Emperor would surely agree to her request.

"Your Majesty, these are all things a daughter-in-law should do. I don't ask for any rewards."

When Feng Lingxi spoke, Dugu Cheng's heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled. He looked at Feng Lingxi with excited eyes. She didn't explicitly say it, but her expression showed that she still cared for him.

"Very good, very good. As expected of my good daughter-in-law. However, rewards are still necessary. I promise you one thing, no matter what it is, just ask and I will agree."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, "Daughter-in-law thanks the Emperor for his gift."

The Emperor chuckled and nodded, looking at Dugu City, "City'er has good eyesight, selecting such an excellent daughter-in-law for me. It seems I won't have to worry about my body anymore."

"Your Majesty, I'm right, aren't I Xi'er's medical skills are excellent."

Shufei smiled and said, the emperor nodded, "Indeed, it is amazing. I just felt like I couldn't go on, after the acupuncture, now, I feel energetic again."

Feng Lingxi heard the emperor's praise, her brow furrowed with worry. The saying goes, "To be close to a king is like being close to a tiger." Wouldn't the emperor want her to treat him

"You all withdraw, only Cheng'er and Xi'er stay."

The emperor spoke, and the empress cast an unwilling glance at Feng Lingxi before turning away.

"Shufei, you stay as well."

Shufeng responded with a smile, glancing at the Empress's gaze and walking towards the Emperor's side.

"Imperial Consort Shu, this time I was truly frightened, I thought I was going to die." The Emperor held Imperial Consort Shu's hand, thinking back to the moment he collapsed, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

Shufei glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Your Majesty, Xi'er is quite skilled in medicine. Perhaps you could let her take a look and see if there's any way to cure you"

Feng Lingxi heard her mother's words, her expression slightly worried. She had acted out of necessity before, but if she really took over the emperor's illness, there would certainly be conflicts with the people in the palace. At worst, everyone in the harem might target her.

The emperor looked at Feng Lingxi, who remained silent beside him, "Xier, do you have a way to cure my illness"

Feng Lingxi was named by the emperor and hurriedly knelt down, "Replying to your Majesty, this concubine has not carefully checked your pulse, and I dare not make a rash judgment."

"Then, let me have a proper examination now. Your Empress Dowager said you are skilled in medicine, and I believe in your Empress Dowager's judgment."

Feng Lingxi heard the Emperor say this, forcing out a smile and looking at her mother's face. She really couldn't smile. This was clearly trouble, wasn't it There were so many imperial physicians in the palace. The Emperor's illness was not serious. Just now, it was just a rise in qi and blood, similar to high blood pressure. However, there was poison in the Emperor's body, and he had been poisoned for a long time. But she dared not say it. Things in the deep palace were like this—even people wouldn't spit out bones. She didn't want to get involved.

"Xi'er, your father trusts you. You should check him out. You may see many imperial physicians in the palace, but very few are actually useful."

Shu Fei's words left Feng Ling Xi at a loss. If she intervened, the Empress would certainly not let her off easily. She wanted to stay out of the palace intrigues, but it seemed impossible now.

"Xier, your mother knows you dislike the intrigues of this palace. How about this You first show your father a look-see, and after treating him, you can tell him to go to the Prince's Mansion. Then, you say you're going there to have dinner with your mother, how about that"

Feng Ling quickly bowed, "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

Shufei hurriedly helped her up, "Xi'er, get up quickly."

"Father, are there any trustworthy people in here"

The Emperor pointed at Liu Gonggong guarding the door, "Liu Gonggong is trustworthy."

"In that case, the daughter-in-law will dare to treat her father-in-law."ll you, besides his legitimate wife, my mother, he has several concubines. Your mother, Liu shi, and your two elder sisters, Feng Linglong and Feng Lingyu. Feng Linglong is already dead, who did it Yo...
