"Didn't all of you see Sixth Prince"Ignoring the probing in his eyes, Feng Lingxi said again, "If there's nothing else, I'll go in first."As she passed him, Dugu Xiu reached out and stopped her. "Four...Dugu Su heard this, looked at Li Guanjia beside him, his eyes were doubtful.

Li Guanjia hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, it was the Fourth Prince who said to have the mamas from the Fourth Prince's Manor come to take care of your diet and daily life. Old slave also said that it wasn't necessary, but the Fourth Prince insisted."

"Second Brother, this matter this Princess will explain to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I won't let the Su Wangfu be harmed. Second Brother, just focus on recovering your health."

Dugu Cheng looked into Dugu Su's worried eyes and explained.

Then, many thanks, Fourth Younger Brother.

Dugu Su's face gradually recovered, no longer as pale and frightening. Perhaps after the poison attack, his body was severely weak, Dugu Su began to feel sleepy.

"Let's head back first."

Dugu Su responded and instructed Li Guanjia, “Send the Fourth Brother and his wife out of the manor.”

"Butler Li, wait a moment. Take good care of King Su."

Feng Lingxi stopped Li Guanjia and, together with Dugu City, left.

Seeing them walk away, Li Guanjia's stooped figure straightened, and his expression became serious. "Your Highness, what should we do now This visit from the Fourth Prince and Princess likely means they will report everything back to the court. Then Empress Dowager and Emperor will surely cause another stir."

It's fine.

Du Gu Su's eyes sharpened, gazing at the darkening sky outside. "Since he wants to cause trouble, let him. Have the appointed nursemaids take good care of her, and don't let anyone notice anything amiss."

"The old slave understands."

Du Gu Su got up, changed his clothes, and left the room.

Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi left Su Wangfu, the two walking back home. Along the way, Feng Lingxi wanted to speak several times, but held back.

"Xier, is there really no cure for Erge's poison"

Feng Lingxi nodded, then shook her head.

"Xi'er, what do you mean"

"Dugu City, do you feel that King Su spoke in many strange places today He said he didn't hear anything outside the Su Wangfu with both ears, so how could he understand that Pingnan Wangfei is deeply loved by the people"

Before, Feng Ling Xi didn't have so much suspicion about Dugu Su. But after what just happened, she re-examined King Su.

This person is very cunning, I'm afraid that not many of the words she says are true.

"Although the second brother doesn't go to court, he's not really staying home."

Duguxing thought of the weeds in his courtyard, his eyes unreadable. “Forget it, today’s matter, we can just finish our task.”

As for the rest, he will investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of it.

Feng Lingxi nodded, she agreed. Knowing too much wasn't necessarily a good thing, and at this point, there was no need for her to know so clearly.

"These few days, just don't go to Su Wangfu. Leave the rest to this king."

獨孤城 reminded, "After all this commotion today, the Su Residence won't be unusual for the next few days. Xi’er is now a prominent figure in the capital, so she should be more careful about everything."

Feng Lingxi responded, "I'm going to Pingnan Wangfu tomorrow."

Dugu Cheng's footsteps came to a halt. Feng Lingxi looked at his puzzled expression and explained, "I just went to take a look. There's no rule saying I can't go, is there"

"If it's for the Falling Frost Flower on Lady Pingnan's person, Xi'er needn't go there."

"The King of Su said he didn't do it, and the Empress Dowager said she didn't either. I want to ask about Pingnan Wangfei's condition when she was poisoned, to see if it was different from the King of Su's."

The poison of this frost flower, she now suspected that the poison was not poisoning, but a Gu worm poison.

She vaguely remembered there was a kind of poison that could have such an effect, it only took half a moment, but she couldn't remember.

"Let your mother empress accompany you, or have Prince Xiao escort Princess Pingnan to the mansion. In my name, I will invite Princess Pingnan for a chat, thus avoiding exposing your purpose."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Go back and ask your mother's opinion." She just didn't want Shutai to intervene, after all, this matter involved Shutai, and she was afraid that Cen Taifei would be unfavorable to her.

When the two returned to the palace, looking at the carriage at the gate of the palace, Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City with a look of joy, "This is the carriage of the Princess Consort Pingnan."

Dugu Cheng nodded and came to the front hall. The Pingnan Princess and Shu Taifei were indeed chatting and drinking tea in the front hall. Seeing them return, the Pingnan Princess got up, Feng Lingxi stepped forward to pay her respects, Xiao Simu accompanied her, and after each other had greeted each other, they returned to their original positions and sat down.

"Today I've come because there is a matter needing the Fourth Princess's help."

Xiao Simu spoke, looking at Du Gucheng's furrowed brow and explaining, "If the Fourth Prince finds it inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say anything."

“Prince Xiao speaks plainly.”

"Feng Ling Xi, although she is my Queen, she is also a physician," Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Ling Xi.

“Thank you, Four Kings. I came here this time hoping to ask the Four Queens for help researching a kind of medicinal herb.”

Feng Lingxi heard the word herbs, her eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of herbs could make Shao Ye Xiao come in person"

Could the Fourth Royal Wife spare me a moment to speak

Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, Xiao Simu hurriedly explained, "Fourth Prince can rest assured, I would not have the slightest disrespect to the Fourth Princess."

Feng Lingxi nodded to Duo Gucheng in the morning, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Simu. They walked out of the front hall into the garden together.

"Fourth Imperial Wife, please wait a moment."

Xiao Simu crouched down and took out a delicate box from her bosom. After opening the box, there was another small box inside. Opening that small box, there was a transparent bottle containing something like a silkworm pupa, lying quietly inside.

Feng Lingxi looked at the bottle in Xiao Simu's hand with confusion, "Is this a蠱蟲"

Xiao Simu's face broke into a smile, her eyes unable to hide her delight. "Fourth Royal Wife is truly knowledgeable and well-traveled. This indeed is a venomous insect, from the Western Regions."

Feng Lingxi held the bottle and examined it carefully, "Young Master Xiao, this蠱蟲 comes from the Western Regions. Young Master Xiao, where did you get this As far as I know, this thing is forbidden by the government."

The Fourth Royal Consort knows that these insects are forbidden, and so do I. However, the reason I'm taking this risk and asking for help from the Fourth Royal Consort is precisely because this thing is prohibited from entering the capital.

Xiao Simu's voice was full of entanglement, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "To be honest, I got this insect in the capital. The reason, I believe the Fourth Princess should have guessed."

"Frost flowers"

After Feng Lingxi finished asking, Xiao Simu's expression became serious. She nodded and looked at Feng Lingxi with even more admiration in her eyes.

"I suspect that the root of this frost flower is gu poison."

Feng Lingxi held the bottle and examined it carefully. Her expression remained unchanged, she didn't seem interested, but in her heart, she was truly moved by this poison.

These things, venomous insects, are most prevalent in the Miaojiang region's witchcraft practices. She had heard of them before, but never actually handled them.

Moreover, this worm was too dangerous for her to act rashly.

“Fourth Princess, I suspect my mother concubine was poisoned. I ask you, how could there be such a strange poison in the world If her body is so cold, her blood must have already coagulated. A person cannot survive like this. But when my mother concubine had the poisoning, she felt like she had slept through the night in the snow. The next day, after the poison subsided, she returned to normal.”oked at the dishes on the table and said to Xiaoli, "You and Fourteen and Fifteen should eat together. I don't need you to wait on me here."Xiao Li responded and retreated. Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli...
